A GENERAL BANKING, EXCHANGE, C0ILEC
TON, AND DISCOUNT BUSINESS TRANSACTED
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-08-20
DOLLARS.

President HARRIsoN's speech at Albany
the other day was model in platitudes.
He shows what can be done with language
when one knows he is expected to say some
thing and is not ready to make up his mind
positively. Said the President:
do believe the general government is sol
EMMY charged with the duty OF seeing that the
money issued by it is always and everywhere
maintained at par. 1 believe speak that which
is the common thought OF all when L say that
every dollar paper or COIN issued or stamped
by the general government, should always and
everywhere be as good as any other dollar.
Why, who can object to that? Certainly
no advocate Of free silver coinage. Ger
tainly no greenbacker, either. And then
again, Mr.. HARRISON says:
am one who believes these men from YOUR
shops, these farmers, remote from the money
centers, have the largest interest of all the peo-
pie in the world in having dollar that is worth
one hundred cents every day in the wear. and
only such. If by any chance we should fall into
the condition where one dollar is not so good as
another, venture the assertion that the poorer
dollar will do its first errand in paying some
poor laborer for his work.
This is all right, too, and, taken separ
ately, the quotations we have given make a
rather fair, though school boyish, generali-
cation. But spoken where they were.
these words combined convey the idea that
the money of the country must be kept up
to the gold standard, which is the standard
of the New York and eastern creditor.
This is what is meant by the reference to
the dollar in the pocket of the farmer or
laborer. 1t means the old exploded notion
that the silver dollar will drive the gold
dollar out of the country.
But Mr.. HARRISON will be drawn further
out Of his hole, if he is to be candidate for
reelection. We shall see by what logic he
disproves the fact that the rich mans dol
lar, the money-lender's dollar, is a gold
dollar-whilst the poor mans dollar, the
borrowers dollar, is the silver dollar.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE JEWS.

1t was a short time ago only when the
cable wires stated that the rigors of a Rus
sian ukase against the Jews had been
softened through ar appeal by President
HARRISON TO the Gar. 1t was only day
or two ago when we were informed by the
same medium that secret orders had been
issued for the expulsion of all the Jews in
certain neighborhood within sixty days.
1t is fact that the appointees OF the
present administration at the various rep
resentative places in Russia persist in the
claim that the stories of downright cruelty
TO Hebrews and to suspected Nihilists are
either wholly untrue or grossly exagger-
ated. During year or more spent at st.
Petersburg by Minister EMERY SMITH, he
was the reliable defender Of the persecu-
lions which have started and kindled
tie indignation of the civilized world, and
there is not to-day consular officer of the
United States in that country who is not
an apologist or glorifier of the Gar. Thus,
DIR. HEENAN, American consul at Odessa,
following the example OF Minister SMITH,
AYERS that he knows of no cruelty, no social
or religious ostracism there. Such is not
the testimony Of Prince kRAFoTKINE,
STEFNIAK and hosts of other Russians,
who. in pure shame for their native land,
have turned away from the inhumanity
that is the browning outrage of this en-
lightene6 century.
For their ingenious and studied bar
barous treatment of the Jews the VOL fish
instruments Of his imperial majesty have
not even the pretence Of excuse such as
they hold against the Nihilists No threat
comes from their lips Their abject lives
are lives of crouching fear and supplica-
ton, not for themselves but their helpless
families. Forbidden to acquire land; pro
hioited from moving from town to town:
the young Jews chained with criminals
whilst on their way to report for military
duty; not allowed to battle in public waters
scorned, spat upon, ridiculed, hooted at
scourged-their wrongs cry to heaven for
pity and for mercy. But the diplomatic
represen tatlves of 1.-The land of the free and
the home of the brave" can find nothing in
the course of the car to condemn or criti-
cize!
There is such an Office, we believe, as
inspector Of consulates. 1t would be well
for the state department to look closely
into the behavior of such Of our consuls as
are stationed at the commercial centers of
Russia and observe to what extent the
Establishments of the scions Of the ROMAN
OFFS are used for the purpose of binding
the eyes Of Americans TO the colossal crime
of history

ONE SANAIL, a resident of New York
who is attending the socialist congress
now being held in Brussels, told his fell
lows on Tuesday that in this country sew
enty thousand millions of dollars were
annually stolen from the hands of those
who produced them, and that ''amid all the
wealth misery increases so fast in the land
of the free and the home of the brave that
1t is In reality hell" Well give odds that
SANAIL is foreigner by birth and educa-
ton; that he came to America to escape
going to jail in his own land; that he doesn' t
work for living here, but draws his sup
port from the miserable dupes who believe
him when he says they are oppressed by
the laws and robbed by employers. Fellows
like he could live nowhere else on the civil
lied globe than in America, and they would
like to make it impossible to live here by
disorganizing society and turning men into
beasts of prey.

ALLIANCE SYMPATHIEs.

A Mrs. LEASE, who projected herself
athwart the Kansas sky during the late
senatorial disagreeableness, has trans
ferred her military camp, and is now
marching through Georgia. She appears
to be self-commissioned soldier of the
Farmers Alliance, and metaphorically
rides high horse astraddle. Like most of
the he ladies who get into politics, she has
herself interviewed wherever she goes, and
by recent incident of this nature she has
called down upon her the wrath and anath
emas of the Fort Scott Lantern the organ
of the southeastern Kansas Alliance.
"Who does Mrs. LEASE representa- fore.
IDLY, though ungrammatically, inquiries the
Lantern. And then it appears that Mrs.
LEASE has been engaged to make three
speeches, at $50 pop, urgin the farmers
to support the Democratic ticket. The
organ objects very strenuously, and if
sensihly concludes by advising PETER
SIMPSON and other Alliance orators to a nit
the stump, return home and behave them
selves.
1t appears to be pretty hard work to keen
the third party folks from sympathizino
with The Democracy in places where the
Republicans would win were the Alliance

TIE CACHE PROSPECTS.

There is disposition in certain quarters
TO belittle the excitement occasioned by
the recent discovery Of lead and silver ore
in Cache county. at is wildcat" ''The
furry will soon quiet down" Somebody
will be bitten and that will end the affair, -
these and similar expressions are heard in
connection with the matter, and the gen.
eral drift of the comment seems to be in
the direction OF doubt and disbursement.
THR HERALD has dispatched reliable cor
respondent to the scene, and hopes in day
or two to be able TO tell the public just
what has been discovered, who found 1t,
what the outlook is, and SO on.
Meantime il will not be out OF place to
remark to those who are making light of
the discoveries that instead of rich mineral
finds in that section being improbable they
are quite probable. We recall that when
the venturesome trustful prospector was
puncturing the mountains around what is
now Park City, people talked in the same
way that they are talking now regarding
Cache. Since then $40, DOC, 600 or $50, 600, 600
Of silver and lead has been taken from the
holes which the prospectors dug around
Park City. The circumstance is referred
to that the Cache mountains
have been thoroughly prospected dur
ing the past fifteen wears and nothing
of value has been discovered. No place in
sll this vast region has been thoroughly
prospected." The country has been
scratched here and there, and ''indica-
tons" have been followed. but as to thor
ough prospecting IL has never been done
and never will be, for the reason that il
costs more time and more money than the
hopeful but poor men who follow the bust
ness can devote to it. Furthermore, is it
not fact that in most instances the dis
covery of lodges is the result of accident
rather than systematic search. The find
ing of the great Ontario was accidental in
the broadcast sense. The discoverer had
passed over the ground many times, and
doubtless had made as thorough search
for mineral indications as the prospeetor
generally does, but had found nothing OF
an encouraging nature, and had it not been
for fortunate stumble or some such Incl i
dent when he was least expecting to find a
ledge that mighty vein might have re-
NAMED covered for centuries yet, and the
world have known nothing of the millions
which it has since yielded. The discovery
of the Ontario and its development led dl-
rectly to the boring Of the mountains in
that vicinity, and the uncovering of nu-
merous other veins which have since been
giving up their precious metals in abuud-
ance.
The HERALD wants to have faith in the
new district in the north. We hope that
the discoveries already announced will turn
out to be immensely rich, and we hope that
others will be found. until the mountains
OF Cache will be yielding millions to in
crease the wealth of Utah, while that rich
valley feeds the thousands OF hardy miners
who will be attracted by the precious
metals in the hills.

THE POLICE INVESTIGATION.

1t is respectfully suggested that the city
council committee on police is not pursu-
ing highly commendable course in the
matter of the charges against certain po-
lice officials. Those charges were filed sew
eral weeks ago and allege a condition of
affairs which ought not to exist. Twenty
SIX patrolmen, comprising a majority of
the police force, prefer charges against tn g
officials of the department, ask to be heard
IN the matter and petition for redress of
grievances. If what the men allege is true
then the department is in such deplora-
Bile condition as to discipline and harmony
that efficient service cannot be rendered
the public; if what the men say is true, GER
tian police officials should be retired from
the service, if not prosecuted. On the
other hard, if the allegations are false,
then the twenty six men making the
charges should be relieved of their stars
and told to be less reckless with their
tongues when they again receive en-
ployment
As remarked, the accusations were pre-
sented weeks ago, and the men an
nounced themselves ready to bring
forward the proof. They were
held back, however, for time and were
then given hearing behind closed doors,
the committee evidently fearing to let the
people who pay them and pay the accused
police officials hear what was said. The
testimony being closed and the case made
up, the weeks are permitted to run on, the
police and the public still being kept in the
dark. The people do not know whether
they are employing as policemen twenty
six wretches who have basely consplred to
blacken the characters of their superiors,
or whetder these superiors are the incom-
petent men they are accused of being.
The report has been delayed so long be-
! yond q reasonable time for its presentation
that people are wondering if there in not
some sort of conspiracy in the committee
room which requires an investigation.

SENATOR MAxEY, of Texas, being inter.
viewed day or two ago, expressed him
self as being opposed to the unlimited
coinage of silver, but he thought the United
States might easily and well undertake to
coin the entire American product of that
metal. The Senator would hardly like to
20 on record as in favor of limiting gold
coinage to the product of this country. and
yet such proposition would be no more
unreasonable than the confning of silver
coinage to the American product. There
can be no compromise in this matter. The
giving of gold any advantage over silver
makes the gold dollar more valua BILE than
the silver dollar, and that is lust what

PURGE THE LIST.

One OF the things to which the political
committees for the coming municipal cam.
paign should dire,t their efforts is the
publication of the registration list. There
are more than ten thousand names on the
list. Previous to the late election a fairly
thorough canvass of the city was made, but
over two thousand men whose names ap-
peared on the list could not be found. Many
were dead. others had gone away, and as to
many others no trace of them could be had
They were probably the contingent listed
along the Rio Grande Western
railway for the election of 1890.
Having voted Oh that occasion they
returned to their camps and il
may be have since been selling their votes
in other towns. With such q registration
list as that Of this city an honest election is
simply out Of the question. Fraud cannot
be guarded against. There are always men
ready to sell their votes and there ara
others ready to buy. Here the opportuni-
ties for crookedness are 30 many that
honest men cannot prevent the crooks
from getting in their work.
1t Is believed, however, that the regis
tration list can be greatly purged for the
next election. Whether or not it was con-
science smitten by the frauds at which it
had winked, the Utah commission
has departed from its usual course and
designated an honest man and an intell1-
gent one to hear complaints against the
right to vote OF parties whose names ap-
pear on the registration list. Judge ZANE.
