SILVER.

The New York chamber of commerce has
appointed ex-Mayor HEWITT and CARL
SCHURz, with other prominent fnanciers
and politicians, to urge Congress to modify
the present silver law. The committee is
also to ask the President TO touch upon the
matter in his forthcoming message. What
the chamber specially asks is that Congress
will so modify the act as to suspend the
purchase of silver by the government until
suoh time as an international agreement
has been entered into regarding BIZ
metallic currency. Leading Democrats
and prominent Republicans have been
appoin ted on the committee, evidently with
the idea Of influencing both parties in
Congress.
THE HERALD assumes that the labor will
be in vain. The Congressman who will
assemble next month are largely believers
in silver, and most of them know that
their constituents favor the restoration Of
the metal to its constitutional position in
our coinage system. They will not dare to
take backward step when the country at
large, outside the money cities, Is demand
ing forward movement. Rather may we
look for the passage of free coinage bill
and an attempt on the part of the people,
representatives to satisfy tue people and
undo the great wrong which was commit
ted eighteen years ago, when the fnan cha
politicians demoneiized silver in the in.
terest of the money loaners.

THE PAVING CONTRACT.

There is some loud talk among the disap-
pointed bidders for the State street pave
ment, who assert that their bids were
lower than that of the Pacific Paving COM
pany, to which the contract was awarded
by the board Of public works 1t is under
stood that the matter will come up in the
council this evening, when protests are to
be filed and an effort made to defeat the
confirmation of the award. Inquiry on the
part of THE HERALD develops the fact
that the members of the board were
unanimous in the recommendation that
the work be given to the Pacific company,
the city engineer agreeing with this judg-
ment 1t is therefore only reasonable to
expect that the board will be able to give a
sufficient and satisfactory explanation of
why the lowest bidder was not preferred,
as gentlemen of the standing and intelli-
gence of the board members do not, as a
rule, act recklessly in matters Of this char
acter or without sufficient basis for their
Judgment, 1t is probable that all the why's
and wherefores will be developed at to.

the award comes up for ratification.

SCARE TALK.

The Republican Chicago Tribune is be-
coming almost frantic over the Gillian
business, and one might be excused if after
reading some of its scare editorials he con-
Guided that this country is absolutely
helpless il the matter of defense, and
would be the laughing stock of the world
were it to engage in war involving any
sea-fghting. This talk is intended to in
duce the spending of some millions in
building war-ships which are likely to be
out of date and of small value
bJ the time they are completed,
SO rapid are the changes these
days, and so great the improvements. Says
our contemporary: "Chili would not have
made insulting replies to our respectful re-
quest, as she has DONE" if we had mod
ern battle ships at San Francisco. We
do not understand that Chill has made in
sulting replies to the United States re-
| spectful requests. The South American
republic has not directly disaVowed re-
sponsibility for the Valparaiso incident
when party of American sailors were
set upon by citizens of Chill, but
has said that it was investigating
and would take its own time
about it. Nobody here thought it was an
insulting reply when Secretary BLAINE, in
response to Itely's ferocious demand for i'm
mediate action in the New Orleans case,
said this country would take its time in the
matter, and after ascertaining all the facts
would act as it's judgment dictated. Chilli
will doubtless not go far astray from the
course pursued by the United States IN the
case referred to, ct least up to the point OF
concluding the investigation.
But the proposition that because the
United States coast is not bristling with
impregnsble forts and our shores
are not patrolled by ferocious
men of war, the nation is weak at home
and abroad is almost childish. I,
hint that poor, miserable Chilli, with 5000,
coo population, is liable to assault United
States port, is to tell -head-and- bloody
bones stories to babes, and it is little elss
than this to intimate that Chill would show
fight before complying with any reasonable
demand this country could make upon it
Even that little republic, reckless, desperate
and ignorant as it is, has too much wisdom
and too great caution to do that which il

To the mind of a thinking person the sug
gestion that any power may invade tn

ton to the republic than all the coast bat
teries which can be provided would afford
The HERALD believes it right and prope
to spend reasonably generous sum in bat
tie ships and coast defenses, but it doesn'
believe in any of these scares nor in tn
sensational chatter which would seem t
convey the impression that the Unite
States are weak and defenseless and at th

TRANSPORTATION BUREAU

1t is proper action which the Salt Lake
chamber of commerce is taking in trying to
form territorial transportation bureau to
deal with the railways in the matter of
freight rates; but we suggest that in order
to be anything like successful in its opera
tions the bureau must include in its mem
bership the merchants and shippers gener-
ally. The difficulty in the way of bringing
about satisfactory adjustment Of af-
fairs with the railroads has lain
in the fact that the patrons Of
the roads were not harmonious.
They could not pull logether, aud the rail
way companies have been able to take ad-
vantage of the lack of unity to do about as
they please. We have heard it said that
some merchants refused to join any com bi-
nation having for its object the readiust-
ment of rates, preferring to deal directly
with the companies. This has conveyed
the impression that favoritism was shown
to these shippers. ridiculous proposition
in these days of pools, trusts and associa-
lions when the inside workings of railways
are necessarily known to so many, rival
companies being among those to whom
the information goes. We take it that II
would require very intricate book keeping
and not a little direct Justification to enable
railway to favor one of two merchants in
town in the matter of rates, without the
fact becoming known.
Many of our merchants claim to have 6
grievance against the railways, discrimina
ton against Salt Lake and Utah being
charged. In some instances the allegation
has been made specific; in others the
charge is general. Now, if there is disa.
greement among merchants as 10 the point
the railways can play those who DOM
complain against them who do, anC
thus nullify action. If there shall bt
unity of action as there is certainly
unity of interest so far as the questions in
volved are concerned, it will be easy
enough to remedy whatever of evil MAJ
exist. We also believe that such cours
would demonstrate that while the railway
are guilty of enough meanness, IN all con
science, they are not altogether the VAN
pires which chronic fault-fnders insis
upon painting them.

BRAZIL AND RECIPROCITY

The interest taken, by reason of the tur-
MOL among the people of Brazil, in the COM
mercial relations of that country, recalls
the subject of Mr.. BLAINE's reciprocity
scheme. The arrangement made some nine
months ago was, in substance, that in con-
sideration of our admission of Brazilian
sugar free of duty to this country, Brazil
agreed to admit free certain of our farm
products and other articles, and to reduce
the duty 25 per cent. on other commodities.
For this Mr.. BLAINE demanded the public
admiration and gratitude, and the Republi-
can party appeared to think it something to
congratulate ourselves upon, since it was
to open the way for larger market for our
agricultural surplus, and to a prosperous
commerce with the leading country of
South America.
Already this reciprocity scheme appears
20 have awakened the lealousies of for
eigners who have done considerable trading
in Brazil, and the reports from Europe at
tribute to this cause an opposition to the
government of DA FoNsECA, by whom the
treaty was made. 1t is even limited that
our large and prosperous commerce with
Great Britain, France and Germany may
be iniuriously affected The question is
evidently on the point of being asked
What if it should turn out that we lose part
of the patronage of these first-rate old
customers in the effort to secure that of a
small new one.
Brazil is an agricultural country like our
own, and has little use for our farm pro-
ducts, whilst Great Britain is mauufac
turing country, and has great need for
these products. In 1889 Brazil took from
US only $50 worth of wheat, whilst Great
Britain $50, 000, 900 worth. Brazil took ONLY
So, $50, 900 worth of our fiour-Great Britain

worth. Brazil took $4,000 worth of oul
butter and cheese-Great Britain Sc, 700,
600 worth. The sum total O.
all these articles sold to Brazi
in that year was s3,190000, ant
the sum total sold to Great Britain wa.
sll5, 100000. So that before the 'srecipro
city" treaty Great Britain took from u
thirty-eight times as large quantity o
western farm products as Brazil did Ye
we took off the duty on Brazilian product
to encourage Brazilian trade, and at tn
same time increased the duties on British
products to discourage British trade. w
offered special favors to the small new Gus
toner and turned our unfriendly face t

DAYS from New York whilst Rio Janeiro /

twenty; and yet in the effort to bu Id up
trade with Rio we ieopardized the i'm
mensely greater trade with Liverpool.
Were the British people to resent this un-
friendly treatment by retaliation, would
not the greatest force of 1t fail upon the
west. And whilst on the question OF re-
ciprocity. we Must again refer to the in
difference and neglect of the administra
ton towards Canada. Twice has a con-
ference between MIR. BLAINE and repre-
sentatives of the Dominion been deferred.
The cause of the last postponement was
the continued Illness of our secretary of
state, and it was given out that on
his return to duty the matter would be i'm
mediately taken up. Besides inditing let
tiers to political friends in New York and
Ohio, advising them of their duty at the
polls, MIR. BLAINE, since returning to
Washington, has found time to prepare a
circular of instructions to our consuls in
South Am erica requiring them to furnish
statistics particularly valuable to our east
ern protected manufacturers. But in re-
gard to so important subject as reciprocal
trade with country adjoining ours on the
north, he is as dumb as an oyster. More
than five-siXths of the people of Brazil
| cannot read and write, whilst the Cana
dams are mostly intelligent. With the
latter we have ties of race, whilst with the
Brazilians we have little or nothing in COM
mon. Yet it appears that in SO essential a
matter as an exchange of commodities, on
| fair terms, the Washington administration
will not permit even consultation. And
the reason is that the northeastern states
do not want to be put in competition with
the Dominion, but must be protected
against ali trade rivalry from that quarter.

A SHORT JEREMIAH.
A Washington dispatch to western
paper saws:

A Washington dispatch to western
paper says:
One of the best Republican comments on the
result is from bluff, frank old JERRY RUsK.
The secretary said the result. was about what
he expected, and added that he was in favor of
putting back the duty on hides. The duty was
kept off to please the New England people, and
if this is the way they return favor they
should be given something to kick about.
Not much will the Republican party ever
strive to restore the duty on hides. All the
boots and shoes are not made in Massachu-
sets, but a good many of the high tariff
votes in Congress have always come from
that state. Besides, tho it would benefit
the farmers and stock rasers to impose 6
duty on foreign hides, the Republican party
has to have free trade in them for the SAKE
of reciprocity with Argentine, Uruguay
and the Spanish islands.
