AN "INPANr INDUSTRY.

The following is an extract from the
last report of Mr.. William Whit

tion of Woolen Manufacturers, who is
understood to be the deus ex machina of

Tariff billy to the stockholders of the
Arlington mills. 1t is dated March 20,
1890:

secutive period Of twenty years. Dur
ing this period the average earnings have
been twenty and eight. tenths percentum
upon the capital. The earnings last year
were nearly three and half times those
Of the year previous, and there is every
indication that the current year will be
the most profitable one in the company's
history.
Pile up the tariff taxes, gentlemen.

millions dearer and dearer. Suppose the

them suffer. So long as the capitalist

Ter to the Salt Lake Tribune has the
following to offer on the Democratic stu
alton in California in connection with
the contest for the Gubernatorial chair;
Politics is becoming bore. The only
activity is among Democrats. and they
talk chiefly Of the Governorship. The
general impression is that Pond will be
nominated, that if he isn't Coleman VIII
have q good chance, and that English Is
not really in the race. Judging iron
present appearances l think Pond is
really in the lead. His knowledge OF
public affairs, his proved integrity and
capacity, fit him for the position and ne
would run better than any Of his COM
petitors. A Democrat to be elected
would have to get many Republican
votes and Pond could do that. Coleman
could get some also, but his supposed
youth, his inexperience and the whoops
of his protagonists would lose him the
suffrapes Of the sedate Democrats-the
old boys who have bank accounts and
have no confidence in anything that isn't
solemn-provided q heavy respectable
man should be on the other ticket. As
for Mr.. English, he is the strongest
kind OF candidate for a nomination,
His extensive and various party services,
which are the principal dependence in
going before convention. would be his
weakness when the day for the opening
Of the ballot boxes came. English is
too thoroughly identified with practical
politics. He should follow Morrow's
example and go to Congress for term or
two. Morrow was chairman Of the Re-
publican State Committee and for years
did the same sort of work that English
has done as chairman OF the Democratic
State Committee. But now Morrow is a
statesman, purified by walking the ma
tional stage, and his humble services
have been almost forgotten. / have no
doubt that Mr.. English would make
Governor whom the Democracy would
like far better than Pond, for William is
a man who believes in standing by his
party and his friends, and INDUCES in no
Mugwump pretense. Nevertheless, that
is not the kind of Governor the Re
publican State Of California is likely
to elect.
McEwen seems to think that ex-Con-
gresham Markham of Los Angeles has
the best chance on the Republican side.

FREE COINAGE IN THE SENATE.
Tuesday was q red-letter day IN the
United States Senate aud for the coun-
try. Twenty-eight Democrats aided by
fifteen Republicans passed bill PrOvid.
ing for the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver. Twenty-Five Republicans and
three traitorous Democrats voted against
IA. The passage Of this bill is = glorious
victory for the cause Of silver. 1t also
demonstrates very clearly in which party
the friends OF silver are to be found.
Notwithstanding the Republicans have
majority Of ten in the Senate the Demo
Gratis out voted them for silver by nearly
two to one. In the House last week one
hundred and sixteen Democrats voted Tor
free coinage. while the Republicans fur
nished but thirteen votes for the same
measure. The coinage Of the Bland dol
lar now in circulation among the people
was authorized by the votes Of thirty
two Democratic Senators and six Republi-
cans. Deducting the votes OF the eight
Senators from the four new States on
the vote Of last Tuesday and it will be
seen that but one Republican Senator
has been converted to silver since 1878.
At the same rate it would take million
Of years to transform the Republican
party into silver party. Add still the
people of the mining States will continue
to send Republicans to the House and
Senate to strengthen the hands OF the
enemies of their leading industry. A
vote this Fall for the Republican legisls-
tive ticket in Nevada is q vote to con-
tinue John Sherman, who destroyed sill
yer in 1873, at the head Of the Finance
Committee in the Senate. Likewise q
vote to send Republican to the House
from Nevada is a vote to keep Tom Reed
iu the Speakers chair for another term.
Our Republican friends try to make
themselves believe that the silver ques-
tion is not a political issue. Well, ii 1t
is not, is it not time to make it one! Is
it not preferable that your friends rather
than your enemies were given the power
to control the legislation which directly
affects the welfare Of every man, woman
and child in the State, A vote for the
Republican ticket in any mining State is
vote against silver and the people.
As regards the free coinage bill which
has just passed the Senate, the opinion
seems to prevail at Washington that it
will be side-tracked by Tom Reed and
his goldbug party in the House.
