HOW IT WORKS.

The Dry Goods Economist of New York
brings to light some facts which are pecul-
iarly interesting at this time. There were
few concerns in this country making
pearl buttons, and a good many concerns
making ivory, bone and horn buttons. To
compel the people to purchase the latter
the duty on pearl buttons was raised to
from $50 to / 400 per cent, the higher rate
being on the cheaper article which the
poor people buy. No sooner had the Nc
KINLEY bill gone into operation than the
proprietors of pearl button factories i'm
ported a lot of Bohemian laborers
who had been deprived of work
in their own country by the clos
ing Of the factories there, and who
were therefore willing to come to this
country under contract to work for the
munificent wages of 81 week. 1t seems
that the authorities Of the Auburn state
prison have been endeavoring to find en-
ployment for the convicts and have finally
put a large section of them at work making
pearl buttons in competition with the pau
per laborers from abroad The ''protec-
ted" manufacturers having made row
about the competition the facts regarding
their violation of the contract labor law are
coming out and there is talk Of instituting
prosecutions against them. 1t is probable
that such prosecutions would have been
started before now had it not been for the
fact that every one OF the pearl button
manufacturers who has imported Bohe-
milan paupers under contract to WORK for
81 week is a supporter of the MCKINLEY
tariff robbery.

THE CITY council can do more than any
other body to relieve the popular distress
and cause people to feel that things are not
quite as bad as they appear. The extra
ordinary increase of taxation is what has
given everybody the blues, coming, as it
has, at a time when money was scarce and
there is no sale for real estate. Property
has been listed by the assessor far above
its value even If there were market, and
most people are feeling that they are being
held up and robbed in broad daylight. II
the council win reduce the taxes 20 per
cent, sigh of relief will be heard in the

THE KAISER WITH HIS WHISPERS.

We learn by Atlantic cable that. instead
of cutting up all sorts of capers on board his
yacht, threatening the life of the commo-
dore, reading prayers to the crew, and
doing various and sundry unseemly things,
the young Emperor of Germany has been
engaged in growing a sandy beard. AS the
telegram puts It
The growth of his beard explains his males
tvs prolonged stay on board his yacht. To
support his character, he would not allow him.
self to appear in public growing beard. he
feared he would be made the subject OF ridi-
cule.
o, the dear, bashful man! What lesson
of retiracy this incident teaches to public
officials! When business becomes irksome,
when life is rendered intolerable by bores,
how nice to take beard growing vacation,
the world forgetting, if not by the world
forgot.
Whilst Kaiser WILHELM was cultivatiI G
his facial stubble field, our own DR.. TAI
MAGE was reaping his, and taking his vaca
ton, too, but filing up tedium by lecturing
at $500 per night We doubt if the young
emperor created more interest in Fried
rlchstrasSe or Inter den Linden than the
appearance of the Brooklyn preacher
phiz in the papers without his hirsute ap-
pendages.
II is surprising how this question OF
boards enters into the identity of individ-
uals. Now, there is Senator PETER OF
Kansas, who rivals the SUTHERLAND sis
tiers in the plenitude of his hairy gifts
| Take PEFFER's beard away, and what
would there be left of him! Nothing but
the name of one who drew the senatorial
prize in the Topeka Undergraduates il
might be broad expanse of cheek. Take
the case of General BURNSIDE, of whom
though he was distinguished American
general, but hDuIe is recollected save that
he gave name to elaborate mutton chop
whiskers. So let the masculine reader
pay proper attention to this important sub
ject.

is not BLAINE's invention, by an over
whelming majority. Mr.. FRANK HATToN,
a sometime cabinet officer, being inter
viewed in the Chicago Inter- Ocean last
Saturday, told reporter that reciprocal
trade negotiations had been conducted by
President ARTHUR. Said he:
Treaties almost exactly similar to those
which have been formed during this administra-
ton would have been put in operation during
ARTHUR's administration had the Senate been
more speedy in acting upon them.
Nor does there seem to be a great deal Of
Roadway making under the present adj
ministration, notwithstanding the big treat
and profuse hospitality to the Pan-Ameri-
can congressman. Yesterdays dispatches
told US that Venezuela rejected the Ameri-
can treaty, and we suppose other South
American countries will follow suit.

TIME FOR WORK.

Unless our property-owners, capitalists
and business men can devise some plan for
improving the financial condition of things,
we fear the cry of hard times will be
heard very frequently during the next few
months, or perhaps until next spring. There
is no use trying to deny that the summer
has not brought the life and prosperity to
trade and industry which were expected.
Nothing can be gained by saying that bust
ness has been good when every body knows
that il has been bad. 1t will not help mat
tiers in the least to say that the outlook is
extremely bright and promising when all
know that it is gloomy and forbidding. Nor
is there much that is encouraging in the
knowledge that times are no worse, if no
better, in Salt Lake than in other western
cities. This only helps in the sense that
the sufferer may think that his
pain is lessened by the knowledge
that his neighbor is IN agony. The truth
is that it has been long time since the
people this city felt the hard times
pressing upon them as now. Many of the
wage-earners have been idle good deal Of
the time since last year, and while wages
have been nominally fair men were not
given an opportunity to earn them.
1t stands our enterprising citizens in
hand, it occurs to US, to do something to
put money into circulation, employ the
idle laborers and prevent the distress
which threatens if matters shall grow
much worse. Just what can be done we
shall rot pretend to say; remarking, how
ever, that few years ago, when just such
q dull period as that which is now upon US,
the chamber of commerce became unusual
ly active and through its efforts inspired
our own people with confidence and at
tracted the attention of outside capitalists.

A REPUBLICAN paper says 1.-The farmers
are now getting MCKINLEY prices for their
products" We suppose they are getting
their light and heat from MCKINLEY sun,
and that they owe their lives to breathing
MCKINLEY made atmosphere. MCKINLEY
has just as much to do with the prices of
wheat rye and corn as the Gar of Russia.
But his revenue bill reduces the purchas-
ing power of the farmers products by just
the amount of tariff exacted on what he
might import

THE CREDITOR interest of the northeast,
owning three-i of the money of the
country and IS, 900, 900, 900 in bonds stocks,
mortgages and other securities, is fighting
for the exclusive gold standard. 1t declares
that free silver coinage would degrade our
financial system, as compared with that of
foreign nations, and force gold out of the
United States. The real reason is to main
tain the gold standard, which adds 10 or 20
per cent to the value of the vast debt
claim against the country.

\ RECENT dispatch from Topeka

a RECENT dispatch from Topeka states
that General S. o. BRADFORD, ex- attorney
general of Kansas, has organized a move
ment to reclaim those Republicans who
have deserted their party and joined the
alliance, or who exhibit premonitory symp-
toms of such backsliding. There is no
question but that the Republicans are very
much disgruntled over the behavior of the
alliance members. The alliance is an ad
iunct Of the Democracy, but any other body
of men, having any patriotism in their
souls, would be the same.

SALT LAKE is not at all envious Of its
northern neighbors regarding the new
mining district. We all wish that the
lodges may prove richer than those who
own them anticipate; we wish that every
body who goes to La Plata will get rich,
and then we wish that they will all come
to Salt Lake to enjoy life.

Mrs. BLAINE and Mrs. HARRISON were
at one time said to be on terms of acquaint-

may be, there is one point on which these
ladies do not differ. Mrs. BLAINE is OPP
posed to MIR. BLAINE running for President
in 1892, and so is Mrs. HARRISON.
