Frozen fact is another. It is the latter com-modity that Mr. Cleveland finds on his hands this year. FROZEN FACTS. Trouble accumulates for the fat prophet of frea trade, and William" 31c-Kinle- t's vindication takes on mora magnificent proportions as the days roll by. The bombshell contained in Commis-sioner Peck's report, which showed that the M'Kixlet bill had increased wages and production in New York, has been quickly followed by a similar report from Commissioner Peele of In-diana. He finds that the bill has had the same effect in that state, and the workingmen of Indiana don't need his statistics to convicee them that it is true. They know , it, and their wives and babies know it, because the family has had more money to spend since the law went into effect. And now qoiues Commissioner Wad-li- x of Massachusetts, whose labor bu-reau is known to be conducted with academic exactitude, to demonstrate that wages have increased per capita in that wonderful manufacturing commu-nity. Two years ago Democrats carried the country by scaring housewives to death with the tales of tin peddlers. This year the Republicans will carry the country because millions of work-ingmen will testify from their own ex-perience that the M'Kinley bill has in-creased their wages and given them more work to do. . There is evidently no escape thia year for the dubious prophet of free trade. , THE SALT LAKE TIMES A. L. Pollock, Leasee. "FIRST OF ALL, THE NEWS."

The Weber county delegation, which fought for Cannon as Maine men fight for Blaine, was composed very largely of Their Gentile human nature led them to believe that the brilliant and elo-quent son of Utah could sweep this territory for the Republican party. His candidacy stands for pure, unadulter-ated Republicanism and for nothfng else. This is the truth, and the general recognition of it will hasten the day of complete reconciliation in Utah. JUDCE COODWIN'S OPINION. We quote conspicuously on this page two extracts from Judge Goodwin's oditorial leader oa the Republican can-didate for congress. We do not pretend, of course, that the judge favors Mr. Cannon's election, but we direct atten-tion to these extracts as evidence that conditions have changed when he can write these things about Mr. Cannon. We thank him for his justice in doing 60. Judge Goodwin's main comments on the nomination will be widely read, be-cause it i3 idle to say that his opinions are not respected iu this community. The Tlmes concedes that it is natural that he and his followers should say that Frank J. Cannon's nomination was dictated by "Mormon human na-ture." We believe that they are sincere in saying so, but we also believe they are mistaken. Any man who studied the conven-tion and ; its surroundings will agree with us in saying that if Mr. Cannon were not a Mormon he would have been nominatedby acclamation. They will also agreo with us in saying that if "Mormon human nature" had not been arrayed against him he would have been nominated on the first ballot. The fact is that Mr. Cannon was chesen because he is just the kind of a man described in the extracts from Judge Goodwin's editorial which we present conspicuously on this page.

'' r- - ments will willingly help them in every way cunning statesmanship can devise to get hold of our magnificent market. Protection preserves the market to our own producers and keeps the price high enough to make this industry prosperous Ask any Utah sheep man if that is not the practical result of it. In the meantime, the duty on wool, which protects laborers from competi-tion with paupers of other countries, does not undul3T increase the cost of wooleu goods to the consumer. Anybody can buy a good suit of clothes at almost any price he wants to pay. Does anybody complain that clothes are not cheap enough in Salt Lake today? The tariff has also fostered great woolen industries, like that splendid factory at Provo. The figures showing the increase in this business under pro-tection in the last few years are fairly astounding. Much more could be said about this subject, and it would all be in favor of protection. But it is not necessary to say it. There is not a Democrat in Utah so thick-heade- d that he doesn't know that the tariff on Utah wool is vital to our prosperity and to the con-tinued growth of the industry, on the range and in the factory. The wool tariff is an issue in this campaign, and the more Democrats talk about it the higher they will roll up the majority for Frank J. Cannon in November. is true which their daily life teaches them is false. We never yet have seen any proposition that could not be sus-tained or refuted with equal facility by the campaign statistician. There is one reason why the price of wool may well have been higher in 1847 than in 1838, and that is that under the fostering care of Republican pro-tection the wool industry has been enormously increased in the last forty years. Nevertheless, there is the best of authority for believing that Ameri-can wool is worth more in our markets than foreign wool is worth in London. We quote some figures not exactly applicable to the Utah product, a9 they take the finest grade of Ohio fleece, scoured, for their basis in comparison with Australian lloece of similar quality. Theso figures are brought down to date." They were furnished not by politicians but by business men. The American figures are from Macgek & Avery of Boston, and the foreign prices by Hel-met- h, Sciiwartze & Co. of London. They certainly refute the figures pre-sented by the Iierald corespondent, as theyshow an average difference for the last twelve years of 32 cents a pound in favor of the American product: Price in Lon-Pric- e of don of Aus- - Difference , Yeab. line Ohio tralian av- - ofthetwo ll e e c e erage fleece prices, scoured scoured. 11 $0.9V4 $0.53 $0.4'Ji.4 1WJ .!M)'i .53 .2TV4 ltSoS .Sfi .51 .85 ISSt .HO4 .48 .4-.- i 185 .Tl'i .41 .Klisi .74 .41 .Sa 1K87 7314 .42 .31 1S.HS .H.s .a 19 .73'-- ; .48 .2.V.4 ltftO .14 .' JtS'l .WSi .40 .3H 189-2.- 1 i (W 4 .32 "v We quote the following from a recent bulletin to the trade, issued by Locis S. Fiske & Co. of Philadelphia: In London the scoured cost of almost every prade of foreiga wool, of the fame quality and in like condition as American wool, is, as near as may be at this moment, only about half the value of the siime grade here at this time. We don't think any reasonable man doubts that American wool under pro-tection commands a much better price in the American market than foreign wool under free trade commanded in foreign markete. We have no doubt that campaign committees have some-times demonstrated the contrary with figures which they compiled for that purpose, but we deny that it can be honestly proven. We dismiss the whole subject of sta-tistics. We repudiate all works on po-litical economy, written in college li-braries by professional philosophers. We ask every man to look Utah in the face, and study the situation for him-self, and then tell us whether anyone can pretend that this country will be benefited by free wool. Ail the sheep raised iu Utah since 1867 have had the benefit of the Repub-lican tariff enacted in that year. That tariff is responsible very largely for the growth of the business in this territory. Under that tariff in the four years be-tween 1880 and 1884 the number of sheep in the United States lncVsed 10,000,000 head, or .from-',TlWttuu"- to 50,500,000, in round numbers. In 1884 the people of this country had the misfortune to elect a Democratic president and a Democratic house. "Tariff reform" was then born and its first cry was, "Give us free wool." The result of this menace to the American wool industry was that flock owners immediately made haste to get rid of their sheep. Why? Because they thought we were actually going to have free wool, and as the price of scoured wool in Europe averaged only half the value of the same qualities in this country, they expected to be ruined if they did not at once get out of the business. The number of sheep in the United States decreased 6,000,000 head that year. The business was demoralized and almost reached a panic. Certainly Utah people have not for-gotten it. They knew what they thought on the wool question then. Many of them eoid wool for nine or ten cents a pound and lost money. James' F. Wadman. of Plain City says he sold his clip iu Ogden at a loss of $800 for two years as a result of the mere agita-tion of free wool. He is an example of hundreds of men throughout the West who did the same. UTAH AND THE WOOL DUTY. One of the great living issues in this campaign is the duty on wool, for the production of wool is the second indus-try in this territory. A Republican majority will mean that Utah favors the continuance of the duty on this product. A Democratic majority will mean that Utah favors the removal of that duty. To gratify its curiosity The Times re-cently inquired whether any Democrats in Utah had nerve enough to undertake to tell the people of this wool-producin- g territory why his party favored the removal of the duty on Utah wool. It seems that such a Democrat has been unearthed, and he replies to us in an article four columns long, in which he makes a painful effort to show that Utah will be benefited by free wool, and that it ia not, and never has been, benefited by the tariff on this product. It is interesting to have the Demo-cratic party make even a feeble elfort to defend itself from the charge that it is the enemy of home interests. It is seldom that it attempts this feat, and when it does the effort deserves some attention. The anonymoni correspondent of the Herald tries to show, by an array of statistics and copious quotations from works on political economy, that pro-tected American wool brings no higher price than foreign wool, and that the price of the American product under twenty years of low tariff averaged higher by 6 cents per pound than it was under a high tariff, from lfc'OS to 1888. The figures quoted pretend to come from Republican sources. They may or may not be authentic. It does not much matter. Campaign figures can not convince a people that something The Ohio wool-grower- s made a mighty effort to defeat the Mills bill and forwarded petitions to the wool-grower- s of the West for signatures. Many of them were sent to Utah towns, and the Democrats of today fell over each other in their mad haste to sign them as a protest against the calamity of a Democratic free wool bill. One of these petitions was sent to Manti and placed in the store of L. P. Tcttle, who sat in the last legislature as a Democratic representative, and this Jeffersonian statesman, and his neighbors of similar political prcclivt- - ties, signed it promptly and sent it to Washington. Why Because they knew that free wool would ruin the 6econd industry of Utah and that Republican protection secured the American market to Amerioan producers and gave them the best prices to be had in any part of the world. This is not political economy. This is horse eense plain, common horse sense. Even a Democrat can compre-hend it, and every man, woman and child in Utah knows it to be true. Open our market to foreign compe-tition and foreign wool will reduce the price of Utah wool to the level of ruin. There are various reasons why for-eigners will fell their wool cheaper if they cau get into the United States, which consumes about one-thir- d of the world's wool crop. One of them is that they pay herders 8 cents a day against $.30 per month paid in Utah. Another is that the corporations controling the foreign wool product own or control the steamships, and can, therefore, make a very low price for transporta-tion. Still another is that their govern-- 1 A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY. ' In the past year and a half irrigation, which had been formerly vaguely known as a peculiar problem of the arid region, has become a subject of national interest. Centuries ago it was a subject of international interest to all countries save this. Next year the brightest men of all the world will come to this country to attend the World's fair. Among them will be the most distinguished engi-neers and agriculturalists of all coun-tries. That will be the great opportu-nity to hold an international irrigation congress. Such an event would com-mand the attention of the civilized world. The record of such a congress would add something permanent to lit-erature. The announcement of arrangements for it would arouse the utmost interest in this country, not oniy here in the West, bat among engineers, investors and students everywhere. It would fur-nish an opportunity to bring together the irrigation knowledge of the world. An international irrigation congress should be held, and it should be held in Salt Lake City, the cradle of American irrigation. It would be a great adver-tisement for Utah and a splendid thing for its people. The Times suggests that the cham-ber of commerce might well take up the subject for continuation, and, if it thinks favorably of it, enter into cor-respondence with our own and foreign governments and bring it about. FOR PHEMIUUXT: BENJAMIN IIAIIBISON of Indiana. FOR VICE-I'KESIWEX- T: WHITELAW EEID of New York. FOR COXGHESS: FRANK J. CANNON, of Weber County. Protection for the Frodni-t-s or Utah Mines. Factories and. Farms. Personally, Frank J. Cannon is a bright man. We believe that in con-gress he would make a much more effective delegate than 31 r. Caine has made. We believe if Mr. Cannon could get to congress lie would take an active interest in all material af-fairs of Utah. We believe any one Gentile or Mormon who would apply to him for assistance for any material cause or interest in this territory, would meet with a prompt response, and hearty SALT LAKE TRIBUNE. him, 'Good morning Elder Smith?" Or do you say, "Good morniuir lleverend Smith?" Oris it ''Doctor Smith," that you say? Wrong, all wrong, and all show bad breed-ing. The only proper form of direct ad-dress is piam "Mr. Smith," and anything else is objectionable. Even if our clerical friend is a doctor of divinity or a bishop, or an archbishop, "Mr." is his Tight title in this country and the only one that should be used when we speak to him. In speaking of a ministerial friend we may say "The Reverend Mr. Smith," if we wish to, and it may be best iu general to do so, in order that we may bo understood. And in addres-sing a letter to a minister, the abbreviated form "Rev." properly goes before t!ie nam-- j of every preacher of every sort; and to add D. D., or to put "very" before the "Rev." or to use "E.der" or "Rector" Instead, are all n bad taste. The rule to he deduced from this is, "Rev." on the envelope and plain "Mr." to his face. Two or three weeks ago the Bv. Mr. Thorp decamped from Cowgill, Mo., on the pretext of having to fill an appointment in a neighboring charge. He lied. Instead, he came to Salt Lake City and here deserted the Methodist church iu which he had been or-dained and supported, and joined another, lie apostatized. Certaiu funds belonging to the church at Cowgill, of which he as pastor had charee, left that town simul-taneously with Thorp. He absconded. At the same time he abandoned a wife who was true and loyal to him, as he subsequently confessed, and it is said two children also, to poverty aud wretched-ness. He did what no dog would do. Im-mediately on his arrival in Salt Lake he sat deliberately to work to court an innocent young girl whom he toid he was a sinsrle man. He deceived her. On Wednesday morning at 3 o'clock be was to be married by a Christian min-ister, and all the preliminaries for the cere-mony were perfected when the bride's father discovered the fraud aud prevented its con. summation. Thorp was willing to become a Digamist. Baffled m tiiis villainous design he threatened to shuffle oil Ids mortal coil by way of suicide a coward's escape. All this within less than three weeks, and the Itev. Mr. Thorp is still a very young man. On Thursday night Le wandered into Mr. Mills tent and experienced a change of heart and demonstrated it in a dramatic scene. What the yirl experienced at the same time, or what his family may experience when it hears the 6tory, deponent sayeth not. But the rev-erend convert promised to go back homo and make restitution. Let us watch the elheacy of a revival in this most extra-ordinary case. If Thorp's conscience i permanently revived it will be a good hidex to the work of Mr. Mills iu general. Trouble is Vewiug for two physicians in the SU Lake Medieal society. One of them Is Dr. McKiobia, who will be ousted at the next meeting of the society, on account of unprofessional conduct in connecting him-self with tht Keeley institute. The medical society in this city, and in all the cities, does not deny the efficacy of the Keeley cure, but it condemns the methods of Dr. Keeley in shrouding his remedy in secret. That is contrary to practice, and any physician ttuiity of aiding in it violates the code of ethics. Heuce Dr. McKibbin will be ex-pelled. Then the Medical society means to proceed against another one of its members hereto-- fore in good standing. Ths charge against him is that he has hired out to a notorious quack who professes to be able to cure certain diseases when in fact he knows noth-ing whatever of medicine, but catechises pa-tients when they come to him and then re-ports their ailments to his hired medieus who prescribes accordingly. In tiiiscase it is possible that the quack and his institute may be prosecuted besides for obtaining money under false pretences. The last legislature after a great deal of labor delivered itseif of a medical bill which provides for a boari of examination to be appointed by the governor. The board has not yet been appointed, though it seems to be very much needed. THE FIIEE LANCE. Barney Quinn, mininsr recorder of Bing-ham, was in Salt Lake City this week and, what is almost synonymous, iu The Times with an interview. He was sober at the time, perfectly so. In fact, though . Barney is a fierce and furious Democrat, his failingr stops at that. He has no other. Neverthe-less his name appeared the following morn-ing in the police court record as drunk and disorderly, and his honor mulcted hiin in the sum of $5, aud ever since then Mr. Quinn has sought a personal interview with the fellow who has used his proxy without authority. Naturally enough, he does not like it. Still, it is an every-da- y practice with bibu-lous gentlemen when they confront his Honor, to assume an aiias. Not Ions: since a well-know- n druggist occupied the mourn-ers' bench, considerable the worse for his experience on the previous night, when the prosecuting attorney called his name, "John Dennis." John Deunis did not move. He had forgotten his incognito.' Finallv the p. a. walked up to him and se.id: "You are John Dennis." The druggist remembered and settled with the court. But it is not right for all that; not right to John Dennis who might prefer to attend to this business at his own cood time and in person. A better plan would be for the estimable citizen who wants to make n exhibition of himself anywhere except in the newspapers to assume a al name, like John Smith, when he starts out and commit it to memory while he has any, for "Oh, what a difference in the morning." The question how to speak to a preacher, seems to present much difficulty to many good people. Suppose your preacher' name is Smith, do. you say when jou .meet '"' " PRINCIPLES COUNT, NOT MEN. It is possible that back in the days before history was written nominations wero made that pleased everybody. Certainly there have been none since the records of men have been kept that entirely satisfied everybody in the com-munity. Enemies of the Republican party are seeking to make it appear that that party will be divided because some other man than Mr. Cannon has not been nominated for congress. But the great fact is that Utah is now engaged in a contest which will determine whether the people are for Republican-ism or Democracy, and in that contest the question of men is nothing and the question of principles is everything. The renomination of President Har-rison was bitterly opposed at Minneap-olis, but the majority said he should be the candidate, ami every vote cast for him is a vote for the protection of American industries and the equal rights of man. The renomination of Gkover Cleve-land w as bitterly opposed at Chicago, but the majority nominated him, and every vote cast for him is a vote for free trade and the outrage of the ballot box. It is the principles of two great par-ties, not the personalities of their can-didates, that the people will choose be-tween in November, And so it is in Utah. The Republican candidate for con-gress stands for protection of our wool industr against the Democratic as-sault upon its right to exist. He stands for decent wages for Utah miners against the Democratic attempt to cut those wages down to the Mexican level. He stands for the policy that will build up great industries in Utah, as it has built them up throughout this union. He stauds for home labor and Utah material in public work. He stands for all the past and all the future of the greatest political party that ever dealt with the destinies of any people. No matter what his name is. No matter where he comes from. He is the cham-pion of Republicanism, and let the Democrats, or the peculiar Third party of Utah politics, name a man who dares to meet him on the stump if they can. If the object of the election in No-vember was simply to pass on the rela-tive personal qualities of two or three citizens of this territory it would be useless expense and trouble. There is something more than men in this con-test. It is the character of a state that is to be moulded. It is the future of a great people that is to be determined. Every man who believes that Repub-licanism is better than Democracy for the people of Utah, and every man who would rather cheer the heart of Benjamin Harrison than that of Gko-ver Cleveland with the returns from this territory next November, ought to vote and will vote for the candidate whom the Republicans have named. . STOOD BY THE PEOPLE. The members of the council who stood by the people in the fight with the Boodle Asphalt compauy were Mokan, Evans, Foixand, Hardy, Kakiuck, IIokn, Lawson andSmoNDi. This is a roll of honor. Let the peo-ple remember them. THE THOMAS RESOLUTION. Much feeling is being expressad about the extraordinary action of the late Republican convention in adopting a resolution on Thursday evening en-dorsing the governor's exercise of the veto power and then withdrawing the resolution from the platform Friday morning without a dissenting vote. Simple justice to the members of the convention and to Governor Thomas demands that the truth be told about that resolution. The convention in its platform de-nounced in strong terms the unpatriot-ic action of the Democratic legislature. This denunciation naturally carried with it the approval of Governor Thom-as's course in defeating the acts of that legislature by the exercise of the veto power. Therefore, when Mr. Crane of Millard county offered a resolution endorsing the governor, the convention carried it by a three-fourth- s majority, although the matter was violently op-posed in debate. Later the opponents of the resolution made the point ol order that it should not be a part of the platform because it had been carried as an amendment to an amendment, while the amendment itself had been defeated. The chair properly ruled in favor of the point of order, whereupon Mr. Crane moved that the resolution be again adopted as a part of the platform. This motion was carried by a four-fifth- s majority on a rising vote and the result warmly ap-plauded by the convention. This was the deliberate action of the convention when the question was fully debated and perfectly understood by everybody. There cannot be the slightest doubt that this was the sentiment of the Re-publicans of Utah as they desired the people to understand it. Friday morning, at a moment when excitement over the nomination was at the highest pitch and everybody was engaged in the canvass for the next ballot, Mr. Crane moved that the reso-lution be withdrawn from the platform. Coming from him, the vast majority in the convention, who had twice em-phatically carried the resolution the night before, did not dream that his motion was unfriendly to the govern-or's endorsement. They expected it to be followed by some other resolution tirailar to the one previously adopted. If the matter had come up in its true light, and at any time except on the threshold of an exciting ballot, the convention would undoubtedly have ' reiterated for the third time its approval of the governor's exercise of the veto power against Democratic hos-tility to Republican principles aDdUtah interests. This statement is made has an act of simple justice to the convention r ndthe governor. The Times has a right to speak authoritatively in reporting the matter, as the recognized organ of the party. AN OLD CHESTNUT. The Herald's comment on the Repub-lican nomination is a gray-haire- d, toothless chestnut. The organ of the lost cause in Utah says the Republicans have named their weakest man, and that the Democrats are tickled to death in consequence. This has been the universal remark of partisan sheets ever since Geopge Washington was nominated for pres-ident. It is what opposition papers always say when they are neither bright cor original. The fact is that sensible Democrats know that their cause will waver and break before the Phil Sheridan cav-als- y charges of Frank J. Cannon, and that the soil of Utah will be irrigated with their tears in November, from Idaho to Arizona. SINCE THE BOOM. Elsewhere in The Times there is a presentation of the progress achieved by Salt Lake since the period known to the local historian as "the boom." It is a gratifying record of the on-ward march of a city that is fast be-coming one of the most important in all Western America, aud that is des-tine- d soon to outstrip all rivals as a manufacturing and commercial metro-polis and a health resort. It is already the Mecca of sight-seer- s. There is not cne person in this com-munity who will not take pride in this record of local progress. However else we differ, we all love Salt Lake and everybody in Utah takes pride in this beautiful capital city. All that we need to assist our growth and perfect the conditions of life here is to thoroughly Americanize our poli-tics. We want to belike Denver and Omaha, San Francisco and Portland, There is no longer excuse for peculiar olitics. which furnish foundation for evil reports about the stability of con-ditions here and the common patriot-ism of all our people. He is a winsome speaker, a' good writer, an all-roun- d, capable young man ; he is ambitious to make for him-self a name, and lie would not go to corigress carrying1 in his breast the belief that to abjectly serve the Mor-mon church to the exclusion of every-thing else would secure to him the highest glorv. SALT LAKE TEIB- - um:. THE PEOPLE'S VICTORY. The Barber paving monopoly is squarely knocked out of the ring. By a vote o eight to six the city council has rejected the award which the board of public works twice gave to the cor-poration cormorants from abroad. This is a great victory for the people, for home labor and for Utah material. Credit for this result ia due to the eight loyal members of the city council who refused their consent to the contract; to the patriotic action of the Federated Trades-- , to an alert and aggressive pub-lic sentiment, aud to a fearless, Salt Lake newspaper, whose name modesty forbids us to men-tion. It has been a long fight and a hard one, but it ends with a victory that ought to 6et Utah industries five years forward and ought to settle forever the question that has arisen here between foreign and Utah asphalt. In advertising again for bids the hoard of public works will satisfy pub-lic opinion if it specifies that Utah ma-terial can alone be used. This concession is now due to the people and we sin-cerely hope it will be made. But the glorious fact is that the coun- - cil has stood true to the peoples in-terest and knocked out an insolent monopoly. This has been accomplished by sheer force of public opinion, and we can in-form Mr. Squires and his strikers that it can be done again, if necessary. EDITGRIAL NOTES. Frank Cannon is a Republican! Good bye, Mr. Squires, good by. Mr. W'asilaxd would be a better advocate were he beuer trusted. Jf the cholera would only discriminate it would not be so bad. Toxioht John L. SullivaI will show how he was whipped at New Orleaua. Will he be drunk? We believe the nomination of Frank Cannon will grow in popular favor every day as his aggressive Republicanism and brilliant equipment are displayed. Jrnon Poweks is "well pleased" with the nomination of Cannon. Well, then let him vote for him. "While the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return." In view of the prevalence of cholera in Europe and the danger of smuggling it into Chicago with the shipmeut of exhibits, the World's Fair commissioners should take prompt action in the matter. Better postpone the fair than to run any risk. Labor Commissioner Peck of New York has been arrested ou some pretext. His real offense consists in telling the truth about protection and supporting it with figures.
