They couldn't bear to think of hi3 going away oil' to Washing-ton. , . OH, WHAT A FIZZLE I The Times promised its readers long go that it would always tell the truth about political meetings held ia this city, no matter what party they repre-sented. Jn pursuance of this policy it liecouies necessary for us to inform our readers that the "Great Mass Meetipg" and "(Iraud .Ratification Rally" adver-tised liy-- the Democrats last evening v is a dismal and debilitating lizzie. An aggressive brass band paraded tho streets, which were crowded with people called here by the fair and con-ference. A transparency was borna aloft and the people admonished to rush to the Continental hotel and hear Joe Kawlins. The circumstances were very favorable and the advertising faithfully done. The audience consisted originally of about 300 men and boys, but they gradually melted away under the very moving eloquence of the Demo cratic orators. The Herald tayi the meeting was "big." It was. It was a big fizzle and a big disappointment. But just wait until the night of No- - vember 8. Wait uutil you hear the 7oice of Utah on the ratification of the Utah to get out of the mists of religious prejudice and to mount the fair heights of American politics, where men differ only in their convictions of the best way to serve the country that is to us all the object of a common love and pride. THINK OF YOUR COUNTRY, O LIBER-ALS i "To your tents, O Liberals 1" is the title of an earnest editorial in the col-umns of a morning contemporary. It urges that things are the same here as they were twenty year ago, and that one class of our people must forever stand arrayed against another class. It is the old story, told with the pathos of one who sees his party dwiadling away. The Times wishes to say a few words to the Liberals also. It aske them whether they honestly believe that con-ditions have not materially changed as the result of the abandonment of polyg-amy, the dissolution of the I'ecpje's party and the division of its members on national lines? It asks them wheth-er they do not see in the war that is being waged in this territory today be-tween Republicans and Democrats all the evidences of good faith? It asks them how the old conditions can ever be entirely outlived and forgotten, and how we can ever have here the health-ful political atmosphere that surrounds all other states, unless this division on national party lines goes forward, un-less this discussion of American ideas and national issues is encouraged, and unless w e continue to instruct our peo-ple in the history and politics of their country? And how can all this be if we try to maintain here a party that arrays Itself against a great class of our population and insists that things have not been and never shall be changed? Another thing, O Liberals! What has the election of a delegate to con-gress to do with our local situation? Do you believe that Fkank J. Cannon will go to Washington merely to obey the orders of a church? No, no ! Listen to Judge Goodwin when he says : "HE WOULD NOT GO TO CONGRESS CARRYING IN HIS BREAST THE BE-LIEF THAT TO ABJECTLY SERVE THE MORMON CHURCH TO THE EXCLU-SION OF EVERYTHING ELSE WOULD SECURE TO HIM THE HIGHEST GLORY." . What would he go there for? H would go there to tell the people of the United States that Utah is steadily ad-vancing with tfce development of her marvelous resources; that Utah wants continued protection of her wool in or-der that she may make it a mighty in-dustry; that Utah wants protection for her lead in order that her mines may continue to be operated and her mining development kept moving forward; that Utah believes in the protective tariff and wants it maintained fnr thn benefit of the industries she has aad still more for the benefit of the indas-trie- s she wants to get. Either Cannon or Rawlins will go to congress, and Rawlins would go there to tight against everything that Cannon represents in the range of liv-ing issues of this day. Think of your country, O Liberals ! Remember that Utah's voice should speak on the right side of great issues that will have much to do with the f destiny of the United States. Re-member that thousands of earnest men in this territory are trying to lay the foundation of an American state on the solid rock of national politics. Think what you please of municipal affairs, but when a great industrial system is trembling in the balance, and when the future political ideas of Utah are being moulded, think of your country, O Lib-erals f . Help us send a delegate to coDgress whose ialluence will be used for tbts policies which iu your judgment will maintain and enhance the greatness of the United States. Help the people of Senator Caret, regarding the proposed visit of the senate committee on territoriea to Utah. The last letter is dated September 28. Since the Herald swears that it never, no, never, prints any fake dispatches, it ought to investigate somebody in order to see why a news item of September 2S takes ten days to come over the wires from Washington. "There were, of course, no religious ser-vices," says a cable dispatch relating to Rexax's funeral. Why "of course." lie believed in a hereafter and therefore in an overruling Providence, or God. There are Christian ministers in this country who per-form religious services over the remains of greater infidels than was Eksbst Ren ax. This is what a Pennsylvania paper says about McVeagh: He supported Jonx Stewakt in 1S32 for governor against Gen-eral Beaver, the soldier candidate. He did not support Blaine m 1S1. He was not heard of iu the campaigns of 1S-S- and 1SSS, and in 1890 he was found shouting in a very ladylike way for Pattisox and the Democ-racy. No one can have any objection to Mr. Watxe McVeaoh voting to suit himself provided he is legally qualified but he can-not pose as a disgusted Republican. The disgust is on the other side, nearly every-body being disgusted with Mr. McVeagh and his notion that he is an influential poli-tician something he never was at any stage of his career. EDITORIAL NOTES. Candidate Rawlins is the Roger Q. Mills of Utah. Fraxz Sigel, fight mit Cleveland, but the veteran Sickle is implacable. Councilman Wantland essays to be a bigger man than his size warrants. Thus far no rival of Nancy Hanks has appeared on the Salt Lake race track. The more Judge Henderson looks upon it the more convinced is he that his head is level. The Provo convention evidently held, with Bob Acres, that discretion is the bet-ter part of valor. Pkof. Corbett is anxious to meet Mitc-hell. We hope he may. According to last advices Mitchell was in jail in England. Judging from all accounts a Keelev in-stitute would do a land office business among the English aristocracy. The Fourth district court of Idaho pro-nounced the test oath bill unconstitutional. Once more Kentucky Smith stands repu-diated. The action of the schoolboard in refusing the use of schoolhouses for political pur-poses is rigrhL Last year they were so used and the janitors can tell the rest. Silver has started on the upward grade. thanks to Mr. Harrison's efforts to brine about an international agreement. This will be wormwood for the calamity howlers. The burning question now is will Canxox with-draw. Herald. W'e did not think the heartburning would begin so soon with you. Ir the Democrats depended upon the fair, conference and race for a large attendance at their ratification meeting last night, they counted without their host. The host wasn't ' there. The Kansas anti-fusio- n Democratic con-vention was a fizzle. No doubt. In a presi-dential year the citizens who vote anything but the straight Republican ticket are scarce in Kansas. Democratic mathematicians estimate a majority for Rawlins of 30JO. Two weeks ago it was 5000; a month ago 7000. Their figures decline with the days, and ths days are getting shorter very fast. Bishop Nichols expressed his surprise in the P. E. convention at Baltimore yesterday "that the young men of the West had not forgotten their God." We have never yet seen the man who, visiting the West, did not return surprised. But does Bishop Nichols not read the church statistics? It took Democratic headquarters just a week to instruct the organs whether to re-joice or not rejoice over the "conversion" of Judge Gresham. In the Omaba couvention the Populists came very near nominating him instead of Weaver, but as they didn't do it any more than the Republicans did in 1S88, the Great Disappointed had but one alternative left, and he took it. The Herald publishes a special from Washington containing two letters, one from Senator Platt and the other from continue to be he case for all time to come. But the great fact remains that the American workman is better paid, better clothed and better fed by one hundred per cent than the workman in free-trad- e England. This fact is due principally to Republican protection. And yet Joseph L. Rawlins, who thinks he is seriously in the race for congress in this territory, asks, "Who's afraid of free trade?" The answer is that the American people are afraid of it, and that they will have none of it. WACES AND THE PRICE- - The Times published last Saturday a letter from Cohn Brothers, well known merchants of this city, in which they reviewed prices of dry goods before and after the passage of the McKinley bill. They showed that most goods have been reduced in price to the consumer. About the only exception that they made to this rule was contained in the following sentence: "Assabet ladies' cioths, by reason of the standard excel-lence of the material, costs and retails at the same price as two years ago, but it is not a fraction higher." The increased tariff did not, for the reasons stated, result in lowering the price of that particular line of goods, but it did produce a very marked effect onwageg, as is shown by the following dispatch from the town in which these goods are manufac.ured: Matxard, Mass., July 15. Notice was posted in the mills of the Assabet Manufac-tin- g company this morning, notifying the authorities that on and after July 11 wages would be the same for 59 hours as hereto-fore for 60 hours, and that w aires for piece work will be advanced 3, per cent The tariff on this line of goods did not increase the cost to consumers by a single cent, but did enable the manu-facturers to increase the wages of their workmen. The following dispatch from one of the great centers of cotton manufactur-ing in New England shows the effect of increased tariff duties on that line of goods: Fall River, July 13, 1802. At a meeting of the Cotton Manufacturers' association to-day it was voted to pay all day help em-ployed In the mills the same wages for 53 hours' work that was heretofore paid for 60 hours' work. All the operatives employed on piece work were advanced 3 per cent on their present watrcs. The prices hereafter to be paid for weaving print cloths will be $9.63 per piece. The new list will go into effect from July 11. This action of the manufacturers was a com-plete surprise to the operatives and was All mills are now running un-der the 5S-ho- law. These two dispatches from actual in-dustrial centers in New England show how the American workingman is faring under the best protection law ever devised, by any government. In the meantime, how are the English work-ingme- n "prospering" under free tradts? The following dispatch from London tells the story brielly: Londov, Sept. 30. Seventy-seve- n percent of the master cotton spinners of England today decided to enforce a reduction of 5 per cent iu the wages of their employes. The men stubbornly refuse to accept the pro-posed reduction and intend to strike. It is generally admitted in Manchester that the stoppage of work will not be a bad thing for the trade, as it will enable the spinners to reduce their present heavy stocks. Of course, it will be replied that we also have strikes in this country. That is true. It has always . been true in every age and every country. It will THE SALT LAKE TIMES A. L. Pollock, Lessee.

In our judgment a fair list of reasona-bly doubtful states is the following: Sew York 36 Indiana 13 Connecticut 6 Colorado 4 Nevada 3 Iduho 3 Montana 3 Total 0 Of these. 61 are from the normal Re-publican list, which leaves 201 in that column. Nine are from the Democratic column, which leaves 171. The Repub-licans will have to gain 22 votes from this doubtful column in order to suc-ceed, and the Democrats would have That is the situation. Study it out for yourself and arrive at your own conclusion. If you are following Jthe campaign closely your judgment will be as good as anybody's. A few things are apparent. First, Habuison's chances are decidedly bet- - ter than Cleveland's, because the normal Republican strength is far above the normal Democratic strength; and, second, because he has gained most by the new apportionment. We believe the only doubtful factor in the situation is the Third party. No one can foretell how much figure that will cut. We only know that as a rule third parties have not amounted to much in this country, and that of himself Weaveu commands no strength. The discontent of silver men in the far West and the Alliance movement in the prai-rie state furnish all the vitality the movement has. Without the Third party Hakrison'8 election would be practic-ally beyond question. As it is, he can lose twenty votes in thei'e western states and still win, if he holds his ground in the East. The Times believes Harrison's chances are far and away the better. Nothing short of a political revolution can defeat him, and the signs of such an upheaval are no more marked this year than they have been at this stage of several other presidential elections. PRESIDENTIAL CHANCES. What are the reasonable probabilities of the results of the presidential elec-tion one month from today? The ques-tion cannot be satisfactorily answered, because men's hopes and prejudices warp their judgment. Advices from Washington and the national headquar-ters of the Republican party confidently claim that Benjamin Harrison's re-election is certain. Msny Democrats claim to be equally confident of Cleve-land's success. The fact is, that the only way to ar-rive at a perfectly satisfactory conclu-sion is to take the figures of the elec-toral college, make your own deduc-tions and rest calmly in the belief that what you desire will happen. Then you will be perfectly happy until you get the actual returns. Here are figures to base your calcu-lations upon, showing the normal strength of both parties. They are based on the vote of the states in 1888. and the votes in the new states at the last gubernatorial elections. Under the new apportionment the electoral college will consist of 444 members, 223 votes being necessar3r for a choice. This is an increase of 43 over 23 votes coming from en-larged representation in seventeen old states, and 20 from the admission of six new states. NO KM A L REPUBLICAN STRENUTH. New. Old.

It is all fudge. We presume the chronic croaker said the same thing at Homer's death, and yet the womb of time evolved a Shakes-peare and a Goethe and will evolve greater bards still. The c. c. no doubt piped the-sam-tune when Demosthenes and Cicero passed away, and of late he revives his dunted notes with the declamation that the uewspaper crowds out the oration, when in fact true oratory was never more affluent than it is to-da- Daniel Webster is dead; and Louis Kossuth practically so, but Emilo Castellar still lives, and our own incom-parable Ingersoll is still as sprightly As some orator renowned In Athens or free Rome. It is thus with music, too. where Beeth-oven and Mozart had worthy successors in Warner, Verdi and Gounod; while in paint. ing the greatest of old masters never sur-passed the rich coloring of Mackart, the his-toric character of Munkacsy or Meissonier, or the grace of Millet. The fact is that humanity is not degenerating in any depart-ment. It is more versatile because science, its handmaid, lightens the drudgery and leaves more opportunity for the finer pur-suits; and because also we have more wealth with which to acquire the nicer things of life. The dirge of the c. c. move .only to pity. THE rTlEE LAXCE. Some people expected to see John T. Caine renominated at Provo this week. Have you ever seen Utah's delegate to con-gress? If you have you will probably not believe that he ia half way between 63 and 6t years of age; and yet that is the case. Mr. Caine was born in the Isle of Man Jan . uary 8, 1829, though ha could easily pass himself off as a man of 45, so deceptive is his appearance, fpare, straight, aji;e nd nimble, he is by all odd the youngest man of 64 ia three counties. j In the sketch ia the Congriwmal iHrrrtory from which the birth date of Delegate Caine U taken, it is said that he was one of the founders of the Herald: This is not literally true, as Mr. Sloan in the Loirau Journal once stated. It w.ns the latters father and Mr. Duubar who founded the paper. While speakin? of the Herald, it mar not be am'154 to say a word about its late editor, Mr. Byron Groo, who was connected with it almost from its start. Scarcely anything has been said of his retirement ven in the Herald with which his individuality was so long- - iden-tified. Perhaps that is one of the penalties connected with a journalistic career; and yet no man ever toiled harder or more faith-fully in his profession than did Mr. Groo. He was at his desk eariy and late, rarely taking a rest, and even on the days when there was no issue he was at work,impairing his health in the line of duty; for he is a suf-ferer from that dread malady of brain wort-ers- , insomnia. Never obtrusive, he made but few confidants, but in his relations with his he waa uniformly courteous and considerate. As a writer ho was safe and well informed. " Colonel Hyde, present editor of the Herald, is a journalist of national reputation. Ilis style is bright, crisp and incisive, and he can be assrressive without becoming vulgar. Although he has lived in Salt Lake more than a year, filling a responsible and taxing position, few people, comparatively, hava become personally acquainted with him, due to his innate modesty. But then news-paper men have no time to form acquain- tances or to foster them. It is a peculiar coincidence that the only two candidates mentioned for the Demo-cratic nomination to congress have both Re-publican law partners. Not only that but they are vigorous, active and fighting Re-publicans. Arthur Brown is the associate of Judge Henderson and J. B. Critchlow the associate of Mr. Rawlins. Here is a chance for a joint debate without any pre-liminaries, if indeed politics ia not tabooed by them in their business relations. Whenever a great man dies, a genius goes out, the chronic croaker who, like the poor relation, is always with us, immediately on a community like Utah, with refer-ence to its present and its future. Your next door neighbor, or at least your acquaintance around the corner, came away from England to find a bet-ter tome under this broad sky of ours. Ask him about the condition of the working man in England. Then com-pare what he knows about that coun-try with what you know about this country. As to the workings of the McKin-le- y bill, don't believe the Herald when it says that law taxed you 120 per cent on woolen stockings and 285 per cent on cotton linings. Just go into the nearest big store and inquire for your-self. Go at this thing in a practical way, and don't let loud-mouthe- d ora-tors, or long-eare- d college professors deceive you with their nonsense There are only two items in the Her-ald's list which we have not aualyzed and demolished. These are coliins and tombstones. The Republicans are not interested in that kind of a para-phernalia, but they will guarantee to furnish the Utah Democracy with a beautiful coffin and a becoming tomb-stone. If the prices of these articles have really been increased by the Mc-Kinle- y law, the Republicans will bear the additional burden with compla-cency as a courtesy to their misguided friends. ' V 1 ' - A TARIFF LESSON PARALYZED. Our esteemed but somewhat tiresome contemporary, the Democratic organ, has been amusing the public with a se-ries of articles which it is pleased to call . "tariff lessons." Last "Sunday," with the air of one who is saving his country from dire disaster, the Herald presented the following lucid statement of what the Democrats believe about the tariff : To Democrats, then, the tariff i3 a tax levied upon imports, paid, in the first place, by the wholesal". importing merchant to the government collector at the port of entry; the wholesale merchant adds tho tariff tax to the original price- and collects it from the retail merchants to whom he sells, who in turn collect it from their customers who are the consumers of the goods the tax be- - ing concealed in the price of the articles 6oUl. Thus the consumer ultimately pays the tariff tax, with something added by the merchants in the n ay of interest for advanc-- ! ing the money to pay the tax when the goods were landed. This is tolerably clear for a Demo-cratic editorial. Now for its applica-tion. The Herald presents the follow-ing list of articles and tells the working man that his taxes on them have been increased as rauen as tne amy nas Deen advanced. We invite working men to scrutinize the list carefully : Black alpaca advanced 06 per cent. Cotton laces advanced 50 ppr cnt. Uannel shirts taxed 100 per tent. Wool hat trut protected 11 J per cent. Catgut free, acorns fre, dragoon's blood free, turtle!" free, labor on free list. Collin trust protected 43 p r cent. Tombstone trust protected r.D per tent. Common woolen goods tasel 111 per cent. Jlas tumblers taxed 10 per cent. Woolen stockings t:ix'-'- d 1- -J pr cent. Common looking glasses ta.tfd 180 per cent. Window glat-- s trust protoc ed 10 per cent. Cutlery trurt protected IIS per cent. One hundred trusts, average protection CO per cent. Sealskins e irnues reduced 33 per cent. ' BrcadclotU advanced 20 pf r cent. I'Jne" easslmere advanced 5 per cent. Silk velvet no advance. Silk linina no advance. 51ack siik no advance. Silk laces advance ! 0 per cent. I Diamonds, uncut, free. Snails free . I Imitntion seal sacques advanced 10 per cent. Wooler.s advanced 40 per cent. Coon corduroy advanced 114 ppr cent. Cotton velvet advanced 100 per cent. Cotton liniugs advanced 2So per cent. Now, we have the Democratio organ where wo want it. It has explained just where and how the tariff is a tax. It has also been accommodating enough to present a list to show the workingman just how much he is "taxed" on certain articles as the re-sult of the McKinley law. It is true that duties wore advanced on these ar-ticles, as the Herald says. If the Dem-ocratic theory is correct it necessarily follows that tho price of these articles in Salt Lake stores has been increased in the past two years just as much as the duty has been advanced. The Times has interviewed several of the moat prominent merchants of this city and it rinds tho following state of facts: Black alpaca sold for 65 cents per yard two years ago; it sells today for 42i cents. Cotton valencene lace sells for the same price as two years ago. Linen torchon lace was 10 cents per yard two years ago, and now sells for from 5 to 7 cents per yard. Cotton oriental laces are cheaper by 10 to lo per cent than two years ago. Flanuel are about the same price as two years ago, but are far su-perior in quality, and American manu-facture has been enormously increased. You can buy a better flannel shirt to-day for $ 1 than ever before. Wool hats are 10 per cent cheaper than two years ago, except in the case of high-price- d grades, which are the same as formerly. Cotton woolen goods are cheaper from 5 to 10 per cent. Woolen stockings are 10 per cent cheaper than two years ago. Cashmere hose were formerly all im-ported. Today they are very largely of American manufacture and 6ell for cents agaiast 65 cents two years ago. Plate glass is 10 per cent cheaper than it was two years ago. and com-mon window glas3 5 to 7 per cent cheaper. Cutlery averages 10 to 15 per cent lower than two years ago and, thank God, it is made on American soil and beats the world in quality. Broadcloth sold for 81.65 per yard two years ago and sells today for $1.50. Fine cassimere sells for about the same price. Silk velvet, in grades up to $2.00, isi 5 to 10 cents cheaper than two years ago. First-clas- s linen towels that sold for $1.00 two years ago are now 75 cents, a reduction of 25 per cent. Silk linings are from 10 to 15 per cent cheaper than two years ago. Silk laces are still all imported. Cotton velvet is 5 to 15 cents a yard cheaper and the quality much im-proved. Cotton linings are about the same. Mow, what becomes of the "tariff lesson ?" It is dissolved into thin air. It is shot to pieces by these hard facts from the stores of Salt Lake. Tree trade and "tariff reform" are beautiful theories, but protection to American industries is a magnificent fact. Its beneGcent results in the up-building of our industrial system and the protection of our workmen are no more to be denied than the morning sun. Its benefits are not for a class; they are diffused like the sunlight and fall impartially upon all elements among our people. Any bright man can use his tongue or pen. and the worse appear the better part" on this as on all other subjects. But there is no need of study-ing political economy, or going into fine spun theories, to learn the prac-tical effect of protection and free trade BEHIND HIM. The Utah wool industry is behind Rawlins, as depicted by our artist on another page. It will be observed that La is getting vigorous support from that quarter. The results of this kind of Viacking are iu plain sight, and it can already be seen where Joe will bring HP- - SUMMONS IN THE DISTRICT COURT IK the Third Judicial district of Utah territory, connty of Sslt Lake.

The Democrats in Netf York have begun about three weeks too early to lay the groundwork for gigantic frauds at the polls next month. They are al-ready discovered and there is now time enough to defeat the fraud and bring down upon the plotters the crushing disapproval of decent people. THE ENEMY OF BOTH. James U. Weaver is the enemy o both great political parties. He should receive comfort and support from neith-er. Democrats no more than Republi-cans endorse the crazy platform on which he stands. He has bo hope of the Alliauce iu the South, without whose back'iDg his campaign is a ridiculous prctentiou. Not a single western vote should be cast for him. Doubtless he will get pome, but his strength diminishes as tlection day approaches. MARSHAL'S SALE.

S, ls&i WHO'S AFRAID OF FREE LEAD? Joe Rawlins faced a little group of discouraged looking Democrats at a "grand ratification meeting" in front of the Continental hotel last even-ing and shouted "Who's afraid of free lead?'' Heneed not have gone far for his mnswer. By his side stood the Hon. R. C. Chambers. We again call attention to what Mr. Chambers has said about Jree lead. If congress snoci.D admit haw mate- - JtlALS FREE OF DtTV, OR HK.MOVE, OR MATE- - I ALLY KEOCCE, TIIE FRESiXX TARIFF OS I MUKlUX LEAD, THE EFFKCT OS THE O.N'TARIO VIM. .lOriD IX MY OI'INJON KKDICE THK Vi:.:'VT SO THAT THE profits would he IN A ATE TO TAT OPERATING- BXPEXSS9. This answers Mr. Rawlins' inquiry. The Hon. R. C. Chambers is afraid of free lead. o is every intelligent miner in Utah. So is everybody else who knows beans and loves his country bet-ter than the prospect of an office. When Mr. Rawlins inquired, 'Who's afraid of free lead?"' Mr. Chambers ought to have replied in stentorian tones, "I am." He was too good a Democrat to do so, and in view cf the discouraging audience present it would have been cruel to have spilled any more cold water on Joe Rawlins. Nevertheless, a big majority in Utah is "afraid of free lead." |
