writer in a medical journal says

A PEOPLES CRIME.

The Hon. CARROLL D. WRIGHT, superin-
tendent of the department Of labor, Wash
ington, several years ago, in estimating
what the population of the United States
would be in 1890, put it at 60, 100000. That
was very close estimate, as, according to
the official returns of the late census, the
present population is 81, 622, go, so that Mr..
WRIGHT only missed in his estimate by
l22, 250. Success makes bold; therefore.
Mr.. WRIGHT puts his guessing powers to
the test once more, and informs US that our
population in 1900 will be in round num-
bers, somewhere between 10000, 900 and
100000. His Judgment rather inclines to
the latter figures.
1t is not our purpose to enter into any
consideration of this matter, but to note a
fact incidentally touched upon by Mr.
WRIGHT in his very interesting article-a
fact which to US is quite alarming and one
which demands the attention of our nation.
This may be introduced by the following
table of statistics which we quote from the
gentleman, showing the percentage of in
crease IN population in the United States
from 1880 to 1890:

Los ANGELES is making desperate efforts
TO revive the boom. The country is once
more being flooded with boom literature
issued in the form of folders, pamphlets
and newspaper supplements. The old story
Is being retold, the climate extolled and
the productiveness of the soil detailed in
glowing terms. The efforts, laudable az
they may be from Los Angeles stand
point, viii be wasted on this occasion. The
''glories" of the southern California climate
are too well known throughout the United
States. Scattered everywhere in the re
public are men who scawl if they do not
swear when Los Angeles is mentioned in
their hearing. They would be glad to sell
title deeds of city lots for half what the
land cost. A collapsed boom is one of the
most difficult things in the world to re.
vive, as Wichita, Kansas City and Los
Angeles are learning.

A second glance at the column Indicating
| the natural increase reveals the fact that
there has been constant decline in the
percentage of natural increase in our pom
ulation. From 1880 to 1860 that decline
was quite steady. In the next decade if
fell from %. % per cent. to 1910, owing. of
course, to the great civil war of that de-
cade. But while the war accounts for the
great decrease in that particular period
what accounts for the constant decrease
from 1880 to 1890! and especially for the
very remarkable falling off in the last de-
cade, from 22.79 to 14.40, a decrease slightly
in excess of that between 1860 and 1870.

Mr.. WRIGHT, in referring to the calcula-
lions made by Mr.. WATSON and Mr. DE-
Bow on what our population would be in
1S90-both of them greatly over-estimated
it says:

natural means are adopted to avoid them.
The streams of life are interfered with.
frequently the fountains thereof are dried
up, and often unborn innocents are
murdered at the shrine of this modern
Moloch of ours-love of ease, of
luxury, of pleasure. 1t is a fearful
crime, one of the worst that can be laid at
the door of civilization. How it has in

seen in that fearful item now published to
the world in our census reports, viz: That

In THIS issue of THE HERALD President
bulge, of Bear Lake, has an interesting
letter which was called out by the SANDER
Gus communication published in the Boise
Statesman the other day over the signature
OF FRED DUBOIS. Mr.. bulge tells why the
Mormons in Idaho have voted as they have
done, and he makes it pretty clear that
they would have been akin to idiots if thew
had voted otherwise. AS to the allegation
that Mormons have ''sack'' in Boise with
which to corrupt the members of the legis
lature, Mr.. bulge nails the fellow DUBOIS
to the cross in fine style. The letter is
commended to the good people of Idaho,
many of whom will recall mistakes that
both political parties there have made in
their treatment of the Mormons. But for
those blunders our northern neighbor
would be in much more prosperous con-
dition, and one-third of its very best neo.
pie would not stand to-day as political out
casts deprived of their rights as citizens bv
the influence and acts of worse men than
they.

product of one days labor on the farm for
the product of four days labor in Euro
pean factory. This would deprive the farmer
OF three days. labor, to be sure, but 1t would
not deprive him of wages. He exchanges
the product of one days labor on the farm
for the product of four days labor in
European mills.
The time-honored, but foolish remark,
I'VE cannot all be farmers,'' is sure to
come UP at this stage of the explanation,
yet 1t has no particular application to the
question in hand
Ihere is no danger of al being farmers,
as we have shown above; and especially
since many, perhaps all, of our manufac-
lures would be carried on without as with
our tariff. The manufactures of this
country are sold abroad in successful COM
petition with the goods produced by cheap
labor.
Ii either branch of industry-manufac
turing or agriculture-should receive
favors, it should clearly be the latter: for
the product of the farms is nearly all
wages, while that of shops is only one-fifth
wages, the remaining four-tifths being the
pay Tor raw material and working ex-
penses. AS between paying wages to men
and to machines, we should choose the
former.
For tae farmers export $500, 100000 worth
OF farm products yearly, this farm product
representing the wages of the farmers pro
duclng 1t. The pay imported in payment
Tor these farm products consists of $780,
oOO,OOO worth of foreign products, mostly
manufactured goods, of which only one
nth is wages. To stop the farmers from
earning s500,0Oo,0OO by exporting their sur
plus, would be to make them compete with
one another for one-fifth that amount of
pay in directly producing these manufac-
tured goods instead of getting five times as
much by exchange. For when the farmers
exchange for these goods, the goods are
then their own, the pay for their farm
labor, just as truly af if they grew on the
farms; and no one else has any claim on
them. But men who directly make these
manufactured goods, do not own the goods
at all and receive only one-tifth of their
value in wages. Which, then, if either,
should be encouraged, manufacture or
agriculture?
