QrEEi:t. Sept. 10. To-day several thou
sand tons of rock slid from Cape Diamond

at least 200 dead bodies still remain under

hard at work, but meet with many accidents,
as huge masses of rock still continue TO fall

THE TRADE OUTLOOK,

None but the most indifferent reader of
the daily press could have failed to note re-
Gently the nnanimty with which journals
of all political persuasions have announced
the increased activity in business and the
prosperity that seems to abound in bust
ness circles nll over the country. Indeed,
our most rabid frce-trade contemporaries,
while deploring in their editorial columns
the failures and strikes and reduction of
wages which they attribute to the present
administration, announce in their news col
umns the starting Of new mills both North
and South, the advance in wages which
many laborers are receiving, and increased
activity in business on all sides, with signs
of an unusual fall trade and general pres
perity. The present activity and the plans
for future operations are due solely to the
confidence inspired by the fact that for
two years ut least we arc to have Legislation
by prOtectiOnists who have in mind the
best good Of the whole country.

.EnY topic touched by Mr.. Carter

EVERY topic touched by Mr.. Carter in
his speeches is an incontrovertible argu-
mcnt in favor Of Republican supremacy in
the State and Nation. He wastes no time
in vain boasts or rhetorical flights. His
reference to the silver question, Mt Livings-
ton. is Il model for direct and explicit treat
ment of Il matter that as Il rule is but SUI
perticially understood. He said in part
"Prcvious to Mr.. Clevclands coming into
power we We're receiving 12 for our silver.
Mr.. Clevclands scheme for demonetizing
silver reduced it to between 90 and 94.
When Grover Cleveland came into power
the lead product OF this country was Il com
mercial article that would yield II profit,
but the Democratic Secretary of the Treas
ury said: where lead is mixed with silver
in ore and the silver is of more value than
the lead, we will call the compound silver
ore and let it in free of duty Under this
ruling train loads of orc were run into this
country. The owners of Montana mines
who were paying their men $3.50 per day
were unable to compete with those Of
Mexico, who were only paying their labor
crs so cents per day, and as a consequence
smelters sprung up on the borders of Mex
leo and those of Montana were compelled
to shut down"

GOOD WORDS FOR CARTER.

The Salt LAX" Tribune of Thursday is
kind enough to enter the following pro-
test against the unfair campaign that is
being made against Mr.. Carter:
1--WE observe that certain journals in
Montana are treating Delegate Carter of
that embryo State with great unfairness.
This unfair treatment began before the
recent Republican convention which put
him In nomination for the first Represent
a,ivc in Congress from the new State. The
charge, i'll substance, was that Mr. Carter
did not render the help he should have
done in the recent contest before the Treas
ury Department at Washington against the
smuggling into this country Of Mexican
was us an nattorney, he asking and receiving
special pay therefor. This was all unfair
and unjust to Mr.. Carter. The truth is, us
Mr.. w F. james, president of the Utah
Ore Producers Association, stated ut the
time through the columns of the Tribune,
that Delegate Carter rendered brilliant
service in that fight, and this without pay
OF suggestion of pay from any source save
the salary he draws from The public As the
incumbent of his Office. 1t il all wrong to
deny a public man the due crrdit Of his
acts freely and efficiently rendered in the
public service; but most unworthy and
contemplate to attempt to turn those mcr-
itorious acts into II cause for attacks upon
him. Montana journals that are doing this
are committing Il mistake and inflicting
upon Dir. Carter a gross injustice. Utah
miners, Mt least, will always remember
kindly the help Mr.. Garter volunteered to
them when help was needed, and will wish
him we'll always. 1t will be curious in
pccd it Montana miners do not feel the
same way, for miners, as IL rule, are not
men who forget or go back on their
friends -

Window on Silver Coinape.

WNsntSGT"S, Sept. 10 Secretary Win
dom has decided that in the purchase of
silver FOR coinage into standard silver dol
lars he will hereafter accept the lowest of
iers Tor the amount required, provided the
price is within market rate as required bv
law. This rcVcrsrs the practice of the de
partment under the last administration OF
making counter offers and is Il return to
the practice which prevailed prior to 1857.
The change in practice is said to be due to
representations by bankers and others that
the practice Of making counter offers was,
in effect, an attempt by the government to
bear the silver market by forcing down the
market rate
