TIE celebration OF Gloucester,

The celebration OF Gloucester's
250th anniversary is reminder that
these events may happen in punches
all over New England from this time
on. for a good many towns were laid
out pretty soon after the early settlers
had laid out the aborigines in the
seventeenth century.

TELLING TARIFF FACTS.

EN- GOVERNOR CAMPBELL is continuing
on MS triumphant canvass OF Rhode Island,
and it is a pleasure TO follow him in his
speeches, as reported in the New York
Ford; they are SO able and spirited. AT
Lincoln, in that state, few nights ago he
had a rousing meeting. One of his illus
tsations of the operation of the protective
tariff was as follows:
The southern states. in the early days of this
country, were the producers Of hemp. They
ssid: We want q tariff upon hemp to keep out
tie pauper hemp Of Europe" The middle
states objected. They said: NO we must not
have tariff on hemp FOR We in the middle
states manufacture cordage. aud hemp is the
raw material OF curdaee. We want hemp 10
come in free, but we want tariff on cordage to
keep out the pauper cordage of Europe" And
then the people OF Rhode Island and the New
England states said: Nc, cordage is the raw
material OF ships We want free cordage. but
We want duty on ships"
The governor proceeded to trace the var
icus tariffs from the time of GEORGE
WASHINGTON, over one hundred years ago.
when the duty was ~ per cent, till now
ii Is so per cent The little infant that the
legislators were dandling on their knees
has grown TO be six feet high, and wears
No. 10 stogies, yet it insists on being
rocked in the little protection cradle
threatening otherwise 10 get out and kick
everything to pieces. The governor does
not object to infants, but declares that the
market price is too high.
We had 10 per cent. tariff under Dem
ocraiic administration in 1860, and then
was the most prosperous era of the coun-
try and the time when labor was paid the
best The war came and when 1000, 600
men had been kept in the field, and the
treasury had been drained of untold mill
ions, the highest tariff was only 30 per
cent Now, after twenty-seven years of
peace, the war taxes have been doubled.
The speaker gave an illustration:
It costs more for children's clothes now. 1t
costs more for every pair of little socks. for the

IDAHO AND RONIANA.

MONDAYS town elections in Montana and
Idaho gave the Democrats more encourage
ment than they had hoped to receive. The
Democracy expected gains, but they did
not expect to sweep everything before
them. In most Of the Idaho towns there were
Citizens tickets, made up without regard
to the political affiliations. The govern
ments had been Republican. and were
generally so bad that the better people re-
solved to make changes, and they sue
ceeded; hence. whilst Republicans and
Democrats were on the tickets the revol,
was really against the Republican party.
and the victories were Democratic In the
progressive town of Pocatello, how
ever, the issue was squarely be-
tween Democrats and Republicans, the lines
being drawn strictly, not only as to men,
but as to principles. Furthermore, there
was an active campaign on party lines,
Republicans and Democrats sending their
able speakers into the field and a careful
canvass being made. The result was a
sweeping victory for the Democracy, the
vote being almost two TO one in favor of
the party of the people. We regard the
outcome as forerunner of the greater
contest in November, and as an assurance
that they viii recover the state. The mis-
rule of the Republicans has done its work,
and the people haze resolved upon inaug-
urating an able and honest government.
But the greater victory was in Helena,
Montana, the Republican stronghold of the
state. Only year ago the G. o. p. carried
the city by majority of 4SS, and on Mon
day the Democrats literally swept the city,
rolling up majority of 54S, equivalent TO
a change in favor of the Democracy of $50
votes. This one election brings Montana
back into the Democratic fold, and never
again win Republican theft be permitted
10 prevail. This means much to the Democ-
racy OF the nation, among other things that
next March a Democrat will succeed
SANDERS in the United States Senate, and
he will go there with an unclouded title to
the scat.

TIE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

There are good reasons for believing that
this will be one of the most prosperous
years that have ever come to Salt Lake.
We do not mean this in the boom sense
Booming is not prosperity, as many of our
citizens fully understand. They thought
1t was two or three years ago. and they
imagined they were prosperous Money
was plentiful, and everybody seemed to
have supply. Real estate prices were
way up" and all wanted land, because
they thought prices were going good deal
higher. Some got more soil than they
needed, as the bulky volumes in the county
court house containing the records of over
due mortgages testify. The prosperity"
which attended the boom was, fortunately,
short lived, otherwise Salt Lake would be
in the deplorable fix of some other boom
swept cities.
The prosperity which will be with US
this year will be Of the right kind, for in it
there will be none of the boom elements,
nothing of a speculative character The
money transactions of the year may not ap-
pear so large on paper, but the actual cash
put in circulation will be greater in amount
than has been spent here in any one season.
The school board will expend perhaps a
couple Of hundred thousand dollars, all
outside capital and most of it for labor and
building materials. We know of one cor
poration which will invest at least 500, 900
in brick, stone, lumber and labor, in other
words, in fine business and office blocks.
1t is settled fact that one railway will be
built 10 the lake just as soon as
the work can be done, and the money
for the labor and supplies will all come to
this city. 1t is also an open secret that
another line to the lake will in all probable
ity be completed and in operation by the
time the bathing season is well open. 1t is
also possible that the much talked-about
Deep Creek road may be started, though of
this the projectors seem to delight in keep
ing the public in ignorance.
a gentleman somewhat familiar with
financial affairs told yesterday of sums ag-
gregating more than a million dollars.
which he personally knew had been OBJ
tanned in the East within few weeks for
investment in Salt Lake, all of which will
be expended here within the year 1892, and
not q dollar of the money is to be used for
boom Or speculative purposes.
The outlook is OF the most encouraging
character, promising good times for ali W no
are engaged in legitimate business. and for
laborers and mechanics.

IHE MOST observant politicians ON the
Republican side, such as CLARKsoN and
HATToN, who are thoroughly familiar with
men and affairs in Iowa, agree that that
state is about lost to the Republican party.
This was acknowledged by ex-Postmaster
General HATToN in an interview at Chicago
the other day, who added:
The Republican party have done ali in their
power TO throw the state into the arms OF
Democracy by defeating the CATCH bill They
will repent at their leisure, however for the
next legislature will be Democratic. and one OF
the first acts viii be the selection of q Demo
cratic United States Senator to succeed Sena-
tor WILSON. It win be an easy song and dance
play for them. So far has this Generalization
OF the party proceeded that it is to be feared

DALLIN, was laid before the congregation.
and contributions to the fund were solic-
tied. The project is one which interests
the people of Utah as a community, and it
is to be hoped that the contributions will
be confined to no class or sect. There was
time when BRIGHAM YOUNG was re-
garded by those not of his faith as only the
head of the Mormon church, and those who
did not like the Mormon religion looked
upon BRIGHAM You've as the person upon
whom TO concentrate their hatred
Happily that day of narrow prejudice has
past, and to-day the overwhelming ma
iority of the on-Mormon citizens of Utah
take a broader and better view of the man
who led his little flock to this valley and
here began the building of the mighty COM
monwealth which now exists We know
that many of the foremost GentiIes TODAY
regard BRIGHAM You've as great man.
We know they concede him credit and
praise for what he did, not perhaps as a
churchman and religious teacher, but
as a pioneer, as a leader of men,
as a builder of commonwealths. as a
mighty force among his fellows;
and not few Of these broad-minded citi
zens are rather proud Of the fact that the
founder of this splendid community, the
strongest and altogether best in the great
interior west was this same BRIGHAM
You've. AS the years go this worthy SEN
timent will increase, and for all time the
name of the leader who gave SO much to
the community and who builded, it may be
better than he knew. will be reverenced by
the citizens Of Utah without regard to
creed.
THE HERALD believes the Gentiles, as
well as the Mormons, would like to see the
monument one worthy of the territory, and

PAVE MAIN STREET.

The condition OF East Temple street dur
ing the past few days, and, in fact, ever
since the frost came out of the ground, has
been a convincing argument in favor of
paving that thoroughfare before another
winter. 1t is the main street of the city,
the principal stores are concentrated there,
and there the traffic centres; it should be
the cleanest and smoothest street in the
city, but it is about The dirtiest. 1t is so
flIthy that the sweeps cannot keep the
crossings clean. while at other points the
eXSanse of mud during the spring has been
something horrible to contemplate.
Heretofore there have been two obiec-
tions to paving, the first being the inability
OF the property owners to pay the cost, the
second lack of knowledgeas to the suit
ability and durability Of paving materials
There is no frontage on either side of the
street from South Temple to Third South
which would not fetch in the open market
$1,000 per foot, and much of it would
readily bring $1,000 a foot. Land worth
So much can certainly afford to pay the SIS
or $50 per foot frontage which good pave
ment will cost. II not, then the enter
prlsing property owners along State street
are decidedly reckless for mourning the ex-
pense of first class pavement in front of
their residences and reproductive land
As to material, it has been demonstrated
that asphaltum will stand well our
st>ere winters aud hot summers,
whilst if more durable pavement is de-
sired there can be no doubt as to the last
ing qualities OF the granite which abounds
in such abundance.
1t will certainly be anything but to the
credit of the East Temple street property
owners If thep permit another winter to
come before pavement has been laid as
far as Third South. They should make the
Improvement for their own protection, as
well as in the interest of the public.
