Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-10-30

But we quote again from the New York
Mail and cypress. Il Republican paper
That the railroad business through the
country Is booming is abundantly clear.
The regular reports Of railroad earnings in
dicate all that is necessary to establish this
fact and it Is strengthened bv the immense
amount or railroad building now in pro-
gress IN the Southwest and Northwest The
car shops are running on full time for the
first period in several years, and the situa-
tion is still further illustrated by the num-
Der of large and expensive railroad bridges
projected all over the country.
What does that mean? Work in the
iron mills, work in the steel mills, work
in the mines, work in all the thousand
/ enterprises dependent upon these indus
/ tries; who wants to vote down party
that has brought about so great pros
perity? Who wants to put the country
back where it was three, four or five
years ago? But we quote again, this
time from the AmericGu Grocer, which is
not political paper:
The anthracite coal output, up to the
latest date, was g, 1895, 145 tons, showing a
gain over the corresponding time of last year
of 682, ,636 tons.
The earnings of sixty-eight railways for
the first nine months of the year show an
increase over 1885 OF 81 per cent. and II per
cent. over 1884
The receipts of customs during the
month of September show gain over Sep
tember; 1885, of $3.50, ,790.
The decrease of the national debt during
September was $40, ,627, ,013.
The bank exchanges of the leading cities
show gain in September over the same
month last year of 22.2 per cent, for the
nine months of 1886, 24.9 per cent. over
1886.
The receipts of wheat for twelve weeks to |
October I'd, IN the northwest, were larger |
than for the same time in any previous year,
reaching a total of 38,249,662 bushels, |
against 2O,553, ,266 bushels for the same time
in 1885.
The exports of wheat during the month
of September were 6,984,37S bushels more
than for the same month last year, and for
the three months ended September 30, 49,
OoO,394 bushels more, while the exports of
Hour for the quarter shnw an increase of
l,OO3,o!4 barrels, reducing which to its
equivalent IN wheat makes total gain in
three months Of %, ,597 ,557 bushels, in itself
seficient to set in motion all the wheels of
trade and commerce
The shipments of refined oil from this
port New York; from the first of January
last to October 2, amounted to 81, ,O95, ,316
barrels, while for the corresponding period
IN 1885 the shipments were 369,023, 1856 bar
rels, showing an increase of 8,071 800 barrels
in favor of the present year.
These are convincing figures, and we
might fill columns with them. For in
stance the manufacture of pig iron for the
first nine months of 1886 was 4,161 ,907
tons, against $500, ,342 tons for the same
time IN 1885, an increase of 321, ,565 tons.
The value of wheat exported in 1886 has
'lsen to $S,905, $50, from $3,155, 142 in
1880. The number OF manufacturing es-
in Ohio has increased from
'O,595 In 1880 to l,03S in 1886, with q
increase in value of prod I
lets and the number of men employed. 8
There is no intelligent voter, there is no
Intelligent workingman but knows that
he condition OF the country is better now
han 1t has been for years. Business is
'etter, trade is better, wages are better
nd there is work for ALL The outlook is |
I'LL OF encouragement and the prosperity r
GEMS solid and substantial. Y
When the intelligent voter comes to
ote let him think of these things. Let S
I'M consider whether he ought not as a 8
ood citizen vote against any change, and d
'hether he ought not to sustain by his O
ote the party under whose wise and F
lreful management this prosperity has il
ONE to pass. If he does so, we do not s.
ar but he will cast his vote for the Ii
emocratic candidates, as being a good a
nd patriotic citizen desiring only the b
elfare of the country and the prosperity o.
the people he ought to do. d
