No Backing Down---No Compromises.

The Salt Lake Tribune for the
past week seems to have changed
its relations to the question Of free
coinage of silver, from one Of vigor.
Gus advocacy to one of vacillatinq
uncertainty and cowardice. We are
sorry to see this. The Tribune had
made something of a reputation,
and friends, and had placed itself
in position to be of infinite ben
eft to cause that should have the
unqualified support of every citizen
of Utah, and of the entire West.
But in taking this course the Trib-
une does not differ materially from
the other leading papers of that ter
ritory, not one of which, among our
exchanges, except the Stock Elk
change Journal, is, since the weak
ening of the Tribune, more than a
lukewarm friend to silver. But we
doubt if the cause has suffered much
in that region on account of the
Indifference Of the newspapers. We
believe a vote taken in Utah to-day
for and against free coinage would
result in three-to-one majority for
the white metal, and we believe this
will continue to be true, outside of
Salt Lake city, whether the Tribune
abandons its support of the propo-
citsov ~ Mt rrb.o r,o<Ao~ &c froo
coinage of silver is in the hands of
men of intelligence and experience,
and they will not be led nor driven
from the support of it by time-serv-
ing or weakened editors. Neither
will they-unless we greatly mis-
take their temper-submit to any
such compromise as the Tribune
suggests. They know that silver is
as valuable as gold when coined
into money. They know further
that, being coined into pieces of
smaller denominations than gold, it
circulates among the poor classes,
who are not able to have and never
do have a five-dollar piece; and
that at the time of its demonetiza-
ton it was at premium of 8 per
cent over gold because OF the uni
versatility of its circulation and use
among the ninety and nine, and they
know also that the act was done
with the studied intent of defraud-
ing the producing classes of the
country; that it had the desired
effect, and that a proposition to
compromise on a basis of 81 10 an
ounce for silver is but an attempt
to continue in force and effect that
much of the fraud. Realizing that
their western victims have unrav-
eled the scheme by which they are
being plundered and are in a fair
way to right the wrong, we have no
doubt that the usurers and shylocks
would be glad to effect such COM
promise as would secure to them
discount of even 10 per cent on the
silver, grain, cotton, beef; pork, veg
etables, wool and other products of
the West and South, but we do not
believe they will succeed, even with
the acquiescence of the Tribune.
Growing tired of having their prod
ucts discounted 35 per cent for the
benefit of government favorites, we
believe the heretofore too docile
West and South will now refuse to
submit to a discount of IS per cent,
but that is what the Tribune's plan
Of compromise seems to involve.

ALTURAs' board of county COM
missioners received a communica-
ton from the Shoshone board
this week suggesting a convention
at Boise sometime in November
next, to be composed of members
appointed by the boards of the sew
eral counties, to prepare suitable
bills to be presented to the next
legislature of Idaho ITO improve
the present revenue laws, which
wss considered by the board, and
its general purpose approved" 1t
would now be in order to know who
is to pay the members of this con-
vention. Certainly county boards
have no right to appropriate public
money for any such purpose. Be-
sides, it is always to be presumed,
until the contrary is proven, that q
legislature elected by the people
will be able and willing to draft and
enact such laws as the exigencies
of the states affairs demand.
Should it transpire when the legis-
lature is elected and convened that
it's members as individuals, or the
body as a whole, have not capacity
to frame and enact revenue and
other needed laws, there will then
exist an excuse for taking the mat
ter out of the hands of that body.
Meantime the county funds should
not be diverted from their legitimate
uses, in anticipation of q legisla-
tive incapacity or perverseness that
events will probably prove to be
altogether imaginary.

Why cannot, asks the New Orleani
Pieayune, some able designer get up a
representation of the eagle that looks
something like that glorious bird' The
spread. wing idea is unnatural and sb'
surd. 1t is only because OF its antiquity
that 1t is tolerated. An eagle that would
spread its wings aud legs in an attempt
to symbolic peace and war deserves t(
be shot. A fine design OF an American
eagle at rest, perchei on crag or liml
of tree, would not be bad one TO
our silver coins.

The depreciation of farming lands il

The depreciation of farming lands IN
England has gone'so far, asserts the
B5ston Cultioator, that In many Localities
they are worth only half what they were
twenty years ago. The low price Oh
wheat, and competition with otnel
countries in meat and other 1907
products, isSresponsibletfor much oil this
decrease in price, ,though,part OF 1t Is due
to a succession of bad seasons. Ihe
United States nowIlcads all competitions
10 wheat production. But it Is certain
tha. after a few more.years American
increase in population will take all the
wheat we can grow. When that time
comes, ,not only EnglishSbut other wheat
growers will share in ithe increased
prosperity of farming, that must every
where prevail.
