WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.


DuS& Co., In their report for tho week
ending February 6, 1892, say that trade
is gradually enlarging. In the East II
Is not as active ~ usual because West
ern business Is largely met by Western
distributing centres. Southern trade IL
unusually dull.
Apprehension prevails In financial
circles because Of tile al vance In foreign
exchange from s4.s6 to si.s7, IN spite
Of the enormous merchandise balances
In favor Of this country. tis argued
that this shows very heavy with.
drawal Of foreign capital from the
country, because silver legislation IL
feared, and that In effect Eur pc will
pay for bresdsluifs and cotton needed
by turrendering titles to American
property. There Is considerable evi.
dcnce that large blocks Of American
securities are being sold here by for.
elgners, but the market has taken
them without any serious disturbance.
The average price OF stocks, after
several days depression, Is nearly 81
per share lower than week ago, the
so-called industrial properties having
been especially weak, but there Ia
nevertheless much strength and good
buying by American investors fol
sound stock.
Speculation on products has been
more active, but In spite Of the album
dance Of money the tendency Of price,
IL lower. Wheat fell 10 09. cents In
New York but recovered over cent,
and, after sales Of 30, 900, 600 bushels, /,
one cent lower than week ago
Western receipts diminish, but export,
diminish still more. Corn closed only
AN eighth higher after sales Of 10 900,
900 bushels, and oats three.eighlhi
higher, but pork products are a shade
lower. silver has fallen to about tn,
lowest price ever quoted.
At Chicago sales OF merchandis,
show fair increase over last year, ant
collections are satisfactory; receipts o.
flour, oats, rye, barley, lari and chees'
show some Increase, while wheat anC
corn have doubled and receipts o.
dressed beef are four times last years.
Business failures for the week men

at a higher rate than to others buying

feature amounts to an amalgamstion OF
judicial and legislative powers, and,
consequently, won't do at all.
The fnh and closing section Is sim.
ply Astounding. We insert tho greater

ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE Alb.
SuRDiIi.


SoME time since n bill was intro.
duced In the Legislature which aimed
at the abolition Of the store and lodging
house abuses practlced by many min.
Ing companies. The proposed statute
was loaded with wind; consequently It
was shelved, asa legislative absurdity.
IL proposed 10 prohibit mine owners
and mining companies from engaging
In mercantile business, or from keep
Ing lodging houses. The genius who
framed the measure did not appear to
know that the constitutional right to
engage In any lawful trade or calling
extended to mining companies ms we'll
rs other people. All the merit there
was In the proposed measure was ils
obJect-the cure Of abuscs which ought
to be corrected. The specific for the
disease was, however, much worse
than the malady.
We observe that Mfr. Moran, a Glib
eral" member OF tho Council, has dis.
tinguished himself by introducing u
bill Of q similar character TO the one
already referred 10. II II a twin sister
TO the first one, the features Of each
being distinguished for their alsurdliy,
as any intelligent reader can perceive
by scanning them.
The first section provides that all
persons, companies, corporations, ETC.,
engaged In mining and certain other
specified lines Of business shall pay
their employees rs providedin the act.
This ia special legislation with u ven-
geance, being totally at variance with
the theory OF American institutions,
that all citizens are entitled to equal
treatment under the law.
The classes Of business men covered
by the initial section are required by
the one that follows to settle with
their employees for labor performed at
least once u month, and 1t Ia specially
provided that payment must be made
In legal U. $. tender or In cash orders,
which can be assigned by the persons
In whose favor they are made to other
parties.
IL will be observed that tho second
section, II It were possible Tor 1t to be
good law--it is not, however-wouli
act IA prohibition against employers
and employed entering into any ar.
rangement that would be mutually
agreeable for settlement OF wages for
labor performed to be made every
thirty.two days or any other time In
excess Of one month. This Is u direct
infringement OF tue liberty OF the In.
dividual.
Section three Is "corker." II pro.
vldes that no order shall he made By
PEG lie engaged In the lines OF business
referred to In the act except for cash,
redeemable In thirty days, payable to
"employe or bearer" bearing legal Ia.
tercst. "rho person, tiun, corporation,
company or association" etc., "whO
shall issue for payment any other paper
or order" shall be- deemed
guilty Of u misdemean0r, anu shall be
subjected to fine OF $500, or Nuy other
sum In the discretion Of the court, the
line to 10 to the benefit OF the common
school fund OF the district wherein the
crime shall have been committed"

An "ExnIpIrIoN OF MENpAfIrY.o

The advocates Of the "Home Rule"
bill before Congress had hearing on
Thursday before the Senate Committee
on Territories. Mr.. II. w. Smith Of
Ogden was again the speaker, and
much interest was shown by the chair
man and members Of tho committee,
who asked questions aud we're evident.
ly desirous Of getting Mt the facts. On
Saturday Hon. G. q. Richards Of Og-
den Is to DO heard, aud the advocates OF
the Teller bill for Utah's statehood will
next be given hearing.
We alluded yesterday TO some errors
into which Mr.. Smith appeared to
have fallen In reference to Governor
Thomas. We do not endorse attacks up.
on individuals on untruthful grounds,
the villincstion Of community nor
the exaggeratlon Of facts, no matter
how much they may be against a per-
sou or party to which we are opposed.
We hope It will appear that In this re-
spect Mr.. Smith has been unfairly re.
ported. The people OF Utah have suf
fercd 20 much from such assaults from
their enemies, that we would feel cha
grlned II similar means were resor,ed
TO by those who stand up rs their
friends.
The wrongs OF the present Territorial
system, ani the special grievances Of
this Territory, are sufficient to call for
n change without laying psrticu-
mr. blame on any person or
class Of officials, who are not
tie authors OF the evils COM

want to be told, aud personal affairs
