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

But we quote again from the New York
Mail and Express. II Republican paper
That the railroad business through the
country is booming is abundantly clear.
The regular reports of railroad earnings in
dioate all that Is necessary to establish this
fact, and IL is strengthened by 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-
ton 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 Imericop Grocer, which is
not political paper
The anthracite coal output, up to the
latest date, was 23,S3S, l45 tons, showing a
of 6S2,G ,G3S tons.
The earnings of sixty eight railways for
the first nine months of the year show an
increase over 1895 of g. per cent and ~ per
cent. over 1881
The receipts of customs during the
month of September show gain over Sep
tember; 1895, of S7S0,7 100.
The decrease of the national debt during
September was $10,62 ,0l3.
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
1885.
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 total of 39,249,662 bushels,
against 20b53, ,266 bushelsfor the same time
in 1885.
The exports of wheat during the month
of September were 6,9S4,37S bushels more
than for the same month last year, and for
the three months ended September 30, 49,
0SO,3A bushels more, while the exports of
flour for the quarter shnw an increase of
1,OO3,el4 barrels, reducing which to its
equivalent in wheat makes n total gain in
three months of 22,597 ,557 bushels, in itself
sefficient 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 g amounted to 377, ,095,3l6
barrels, while for the corresponding period
in 1885 the shipments were 1863, ,023, 1856 bar
rels. showing an increase of S.07l $3.50 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 1856 was 4 ,16l ,907
tons, against 3,300,34 tons for the same
time in 1885, an increase OF 321 ,565 tons.
The value of wheat exported in 1886 has
risen to $S,905 $50, from SO, 155, l42 in
1885. The number OF manufacturing es-
Establishments in Ohio has increased from
2O,595 in 1880 to 81 ,03S in 1886, with n
corresponding increase in value of prod
ucts and the number OF men employed.
There is no intelligent voter, there is no
intelligent workingman but knows that
the condition OF the country is better now
than it has been for years. Business is
better, trade is better, wages are better
and there is work for all. The outlook is
full OF encouragement and the prosperity
seems solid and substantial
When the intelligent voter comes to
vote let him think OF these things. Let
him consider whether he ought not as a
good citizen vote against any change, and
whether he ought not TO sustain by his
vote the party under whose wise and
careful management this prosperity has
come to pass. II he does so, we do not
fear but he will cast his vote for the
Democratic candidates, as being good
and patriotic citizen desiring only the
welfare of the country and the prosperity
OF the people he ought to do.
