IL VIII be seen that if there was any period of
depression it did not make itself felt in the pro-
ductlon, the imports or the consumption OF win
dow glass, with the single exception of the short
fire OF lSS3Si, when domestic production was
decreased by the strike against a reduction. but
the imports and domestic production of 1888

The only.trouble about this alleged recognized

auction IN the wages of window-glass workers
following the tariff reduction of 1883, and there
was reduction several years after.
Then there was an advance in wages. accord
ing TO Mr.. LoEFFLER. in 1889. when there was
certainly no advance in the tariff.
Ihere was an advance on all sizes of window

VI course the members OF the Window Glass
workers assembly know whether or not they
got an advance of wages last week.
1t is so nice for them to "rebuke" Governor
CAMPBELL and 'deuounce" those who make
false statements in relation TO the tariff hat
this also applies TO those who assert that

REED TO RESIGN.

ance business, REED will make fine figure

advises him to do it. In back seat in the
hall Of the House he will occupy very IN
enviable position, at least during the first
session. Courtesy may suggest that he
lead the minority on one or two important
committees, but so far as the real business
of the Houseis concerned he will not be ''in
it" If he got his rights. he would be st
the tail end of the committee on revolution
airy claims.
We take it for granted that one of the
first things the Democrats will do after the
election Of q speaker viii be the restoration
of the old rules, which were amended by
the last Congress in order to secure the
application of the gag law. The rights of
the minority will be respected, and the fact

THE EVIDENCE.

The crowds on the streets-yisitors from
every county, city and town in Utah-and
the fact that all these people seem content
with life and happy, as such things 90 tell
very agreeable story of the season now
drawing to close. From all over the re-
public come tales of industrial depression.
OF scarcity of money and dull times. ,,
Ihls has been an unusually severe wear
especially on those who toll, and these in :
clude farmers, mechanics and day laborers.
and Of course Utah has suffered more or
less from the general depression; but
the thousands of guests now soiourn-
ing with US tell in their contented faces
and IN the air Of prosperity which thew
wear that the prevalent dullness of which
we hear so much complaint has borne less
heavily upon Utah than on other sections of
the country We believe the people of this
territory have had more than ordinarily
prosperous season, Notwithstanding the
depression IN few places and in some in.
stances. If this were not so the visitors to
the Mormon conference and the territorial
lar would not be so numerous as thew are
and those coming would have less money
to spend in the city.

and his associates. Utah has thrown off
the old and ugly conditions and today
stands forth community proud to be like
other American communities in politics and
ambition. Knowing of the revolution
which has taken place and seeing here a
commonwealth destined at an early day to
take leading position among the western
communities and in the affairs of the
nation, the Democratic workers come
among US because their labors will not be
thrown away, as would have been the case
at any time previous to this year.
The visit will mean for Utah great deal
more than will be conveyed in the words
of the mastery addresses to be delivered.
1t will mean the full and complete recogni-
ton by the National Democracy of the
changed aud improved condition Of things
in this territory, and that hereafter we
will have the sympathy and assistance of
the national party in the rapid march to
greatness which Utah is making.

WAGES AND WINDOW GLASS.

In the course of one of his speeches in
september Governor CAMPBELL, of Ohio,
MADE certain statements regarding the eff
fect of the tariff on wages, among other
thlngs saying that wages had never been
increased In the great window glass indus
Try by an increase of the duty in that
article. The statement was denied by some
OF the Plttsburg manufacturers, and this
denial has been repeated on the stump by
MCKINLEY and published widely in the
ONO protection organs. Recently the
Plttsburg Post, one of the most reliable of
newspapers, took up one of these de
mails" by MIR. LoEFFLER and proceeded
TO answer the gentleman by presentation
OF facts. A portion of the Pos:s article is
reproduced here. What is said with re-
gard to the wages of glass workers will
apply to the wages of workers in other of
the protected industries
Mr.. LGFFLER is in error when he states that
tnere was any reduction in the wages of win.

later, and was not Influenced by either a reduc-
ton or advance of the tarin.

LdFFLER says, followed by lowering of the

the STEADY increase OF American production OF

REVISION BY DETAIL.

Gin what manner shall the Democracy in
the coming Congress voice the will of the
people relative to the tariff. The prot ected
interests are greatly alarmed at the sug
eestion that their action may take the form
Of removal or re iuction OF duties from spe-
cial articies-that is, revision by piece
meal This would cause a series of breaches
in the Republican defenses that would
weaken the whole line. 1t would produce
a migration that would make the en-
tire system crumbs away But it would
serve also to put the Republicans on record
as TO their standing on separate branches
of tie tariff question. Each beneficiary of
the present law is willing that some other
beneficiary shall be deprived of protection
as long as the reduction stops before
ii reaches himself. The New Englanders.
for instance would be glad to see coal ore
and wool put on the free list, since these
are articles they have 20 buy: but they
would object to even a serious reduction of
the wooden and cotton goods of which they
make and sell so much. And we might
mention numerous articles that some pro-
tectionists would gladly see go on the ex-
cA1pOCO A4Sb nhAOh oiS l4OW Heavily taxed
for the benefit of other protectionists.
If there is to be d treatment of the tariff
subject in detail, the Democrts will no
doubt select those imports, the duties on
which are an especial hardship to the PEG
pie. The duties on tin plate. fenc-
ing wire cheap wooden goods, tools.
implements. etc, ought to be re-
moved entirely in the case of some
of them, and isome reduced materially for
the relief of the farm ers of the west. The
duty on cotton ties, which is an unjust
special imposition on the south, should be
removed outright. The whole system. as
represented by the Mckinley bill, is SO in
equitable and oppressive that it may be
chopped into at any point with good effect
The Republicans viii be at great dissd-
vantage if they oppose any special removal
or reduction. Still, there are duties that
bear with particular hardship upon con
sumers, and these are the ones that ought
to be cut away first.
A repeal of the existing tariff bill In its
entirety is not to be thought of as practi
cable, as we view the circumstances. But
wherever there may be a chance to drop
off, here and there, any of its faulty feat
ures, it should be done.

DEM0CRACY's WEEK.

This will be a glorious week for the

CARNATIONS. The local disputes were CON
Quoted along lines which were unknown
ana without recognition elsewhere and opr
so-called political grounds were such as To
excite the contempt of both the national
parties. All this has been changed
and the very best evidence that
this is so is presented in tho
coming OF Governor CHAuNcEY f. BLAck
