DON'T OvERsTOCK.

People are saying that now Is the
time for merchants to rush In goods,
piling up stocks and getting an all
winters supply, while the railroads
are cutting and slashing rates. UH-
doubtedly the present is good
time to. fill up depleted stocks, but
beyond that it is no better than any
other time for bringing in goods
The rate war that is being waged at
present will not last long. 1t cannot
continue, for at present prices both
companies are running freight trains
at loss. The more they haul the
worse are they pleased. and either Is
as anxious as the other to arrive at
terms by which they can both con-
tinue to pluck the common victim
the public. There ought to be little
increase of importations if our mer-
chants are in the condition as TO
stocks that they are presumed to
be. It is bad policy to put
yourself out even to get the
better of a railroad company,
There is certain amount of traffic
between the Missouri river end
Salt Lake. 1t is neither increased
nor diminished by low or high
charges for hauling. The COM
munity supplied by rail neither
eats nor wears more because freight
is cheap. There is a certain de-
mand, and when that has been sup.
piled, the market, whether it be
freight or anything else, is dead
Then it would be nonsense for a
merchant to buy what he didn't
want and couldn't sell just because
he could get it cheap. He had much
better keep his money in his pocket
than put it into goods to be piled up
in the warehouse for an indefinite
period. The interest and deprecia-
|, ton woald soon amount to more
than the sum saved on freight. The
business of the merchant who keeps
up with his trade and does not run
ahead of it is the safer.

THE REPUBLICAN newspapers
have been and are trying to delude
the Republican masses into the be~
lief that the Democratic victory in
Ohio was really gain for the other
party. Their method of arriving at
this conclusion is purely Republican.
In 1882, Newman, the Democratic
candidate for Secretary of State, had
1875 plurality over Townsend, Re-
publican, but only 1850 majority
over all. At the election this month
Judge Hoadley's plurality over For
aker was only 16,64S, according to
the latest estimate received, but his
majority over all is more than 5000,
or a Democratic gain on the total
vote Of about 1000.

THE SCHEMES.

The Edmunds law having been
adjudged "failure" by the news
papers and the preachers, neither of
which, apparently, know anything
about the law or Its operations, the
inventive genius of the country is
again at work trying to devise
plan that will "work" in the
uprooting of the Mcrmons. Since
the late Conference in this
city, the papers have been
unusually fruitful in the matter,
deyoting more or less space to dis
cussions and suggestions in pretty
nearly every issue. 1t is worthy OF
remark, however, that no new
scheme has BEEN proposed. The
more popular plans are the old ones

a HERALD representative that II
this freight war continued the rail-
way company named would bring
grain and -four to Salt Lake and sell
them at prices that would force the
Utah farmers out of the market, or
compel them to dispose OF their
products greatly below cost. In
ordinary years the threat might De
carried into execution, but the
Hpion Pacific will hardly care TO
embark in the speculation to any
great extent this year. The season
of 1883 has been especially kind to
Utah grain growers, and as con-
sequence our two great wheat
valleys-Cache and Sanpete-
have more wheat than can be dis
posed Of. In Sanpete the gram
goes begging at fifty cents a bushei'
merchants refusing to accept it for
goods even at that low rate. In
Salt Lake city, always the highest
market in the Territory, wheat IS
seyenty-five cents. If there were
sale for the article, both Cache and
Sanpete would pour in their wheat
in any desired quantities. Prices
are higher in Chicago. the great
grain market of America, than in
Utah, 1t is net likely the Union
Pacific will bring wheat and flour
here to sell for less than it pays for
them at shipping points. The only
grains that the company can ship to
Utah are oats and corn. and these
are not largely consumed. Three
or four trains would supply the
market for an entire season.
OF course these remarks apply
only TO the present season. Ordi-
narily the railroad could make 1t
very interesting for Utah farmers.
We believe the time is fast ap-
preaching when our agriculturists
will be forced to give up grain

chiefly to vegetables and market
gardening. The vast grain section
of the northwest is too close to us Il

will carry freight east for the sam
