The Globe says; president Cleve-
land, tho American strong man, has
backbone which tho wire-puller can -

The Standard says that President
Cleveland must be- congratulated on
the courage he has displayed. The
management of electoral wires in the
United States, the paper adds, is fear
full and wonderful thing, but it seems
that President Cleveland will improve
rather than injure the prospects Of his
party by the strong and sensible course
he has adopted.

the craftsmanship Of the two great
parties of the country can devise no
means to bring the producers and
those who need their products into
such relations as will enable the one
class to supply its desperate needs
from the apparently useless surplus
of the other. Upon this subject the
Capital says:
The ADVOCATE wants to know our remedy.
For our part, we believe this remedy bust
ness is OvsrdOne. We don't expect to bring
out q remedy for every Ill. There are some
things that can be Eemedied only by time.
Our remedy for the OverpROduCtiOn
Of wheat is to look the fact in the face, keep
gti Fl upper lip and win out by waiting for
nature TO Sake her course"
Now, that ls certainly very clear;
and, withsl, it is honest. We hasten
to con gratulste the Capital upon this
honest declaration. Neither the Cap
itsl or the party il represents have
any remedy to propose for present
conditions. No remedy for the de-
cline Of prices, nothing to propose for
the relief Of the starving multitudes
who are perishing in a land of plenty
for want Of the food and cIothing
which Is begging for market. Only
keep a stiff upper lip and let nature
take her course" When nature has
taken her course until the poor are
all starved to death, this will then be
q paradise for plutocrats.
We desire to impress it upon the
minds Of the people that, by the
frank confession of the great organ
of Kansas republicsnism, the repub-
liCan party has no remedy to propose
for the evil conditions of the times.
Not only that, this great organ Of re-
publicsnism deplOres the suggestion
Of remedies by others. 1t thinks ''this
remedy business IS oVerdone." The
people are simply TO "keep a stiff
upper lip and let nature take her
course" and in the meantime keep
on voting the republican ticket. The
republican party certainly presents
to the people promising outlook.
The Capital exultingly asks:
What remedy has the ADVOCATE to offer
for consumption, leprOsy, for drunkenness,
for persons born idiots, for drouth, for dis
plays of poor judgment in business, and
for a thousand and one ills of society and
indiViduals2
This is q sumner surely. Saying
nothing Of the abSurditY of clsssing

and by means Of which it seems Or
dsined that man shall die, with the

THE THEORY OF OVERPRODUOTTON,


in the ADVOCATE Of the week previous
upon this subject. February Ia wal

ridiculous features Of this effort Of
the Capital lead TO the suspicion that

we can assure him il did not exhaust
our resources in that direction by any
means. However, what is the matter
with this way? Will the Capital pre-
tend to say that people do have bread
enough to eat? We submit that it is
bad time just now to set up such
claim. How does the Capital meet
our arguments It simply makes no
attempt to meet it at all. We selected
the year 1880 from which to draw the
facts and figures upon which our
argument was based for the sole rea-
son that the census was taken that
year and We could make use Of off.
cial figures to sustain every point
From those figures we demonstrated
that the American wheat crop Of that
year would have fallen 92,450835
bushels short Of feeding our own peo-
pie if all were fed as well as the gov
eminent feeds the army. Without
attempting to show any error in our
figures the Capital lodges the con-
Clusion by saying:
We merely wish 10 point out that in 1892
the United StassS produced 6l2 million
bushels--l70 millions more than enough 20

The above statement is not true %

that to do with the facts Of the year
189OP We demonstrated that with
shortage of nearly q hundred millions
of bushels on that year, and with lS
bushels per head less than we had in
1870 the price had declined 46 cents
per bushel. If the pnce always "ad-
justs itself to the equation Of demand
and supply" what was the matter Of
the price in 1902 Let ua settle that

We took the army ration from the
army regulations of 1881. Would
the Capital wish to be understood
that q republican congress and re-
publican administration were extra
VACANT in their provision for feeding
the arwy9 Otherwise why is the
army ration ridiculous? It is prac-
tically equivalent to the ration pro-
vided for our penitentiaries and pub
lie institutions, and it would surely
seem that the producers Of wealth in
this co unity, the honest tOileTs Of the
land, ought to be fed as well as our
convicts. What is there about thus

cay. Consult the writings of those
who have made a special study Of
these things in the great cities of our
country and Judge if we overstate
the facts. The Capital continues:

SiOkly nation, though the best fed on earth
Notwithstanding. Think what the condition
Of the Russian and German peassntry must
be, who are probably about One-sixth or
one eighth fedl
Il must certainly be an immense
comfort to the man who is only one

Russia or Germany some other less
fortunate mortal is only one-sixth or
one eighth fed. After dwelling upon
that consoling reflection for q few
hours the fellow who ID one third fed

this Is seriously offered as republican
argument. The author Of 1t is GER
tainly more to be pitled than blamed.
We don't think the ADVOCATE has broken
Che force Of our argument.
Agreed It neUer had any force.
The Capitals original point was that we
have been turning out 100 million bushels
moro wheat than the annual demand called
for.
And we have demonstrated that
the Capitals original point has no
point at all. We have demonstrated
that in 1890 we turned out 80, ,450, 1886
bushels less than the demand of our
otCn people called for, measuring
that demand by their necessities
rather chan by their ability to buy,

Homo MANUFACTURE.
To the Editor Of The Herald:

To the Editor of The Herald:
Dear Sir:-The suggestion made at
the chamber of commerce meeting the
other evening in regard to having a
public exhibition or fair to enable the
people to see and know just what goods
may be obtained that are of home
manufacture 1 think would be one of
the most feasible methods of dissent
mating this information. 1 believe
every woman in the county would go
and see the exhibit, and undoubtedly
this would result in good for the manu-
facturers and the community generally
l suppose among the many unoccupied
buildings some owner would proffer
the use of the room free for week in
order to assist in a cause of such I'M
usual public Importance. The manu-
facturers would no doubt go to con-
siderable expense to arrange tasteful
exhibits Of their goods. A list could
be published and handed to each visi-
tor which, when hung up at home
would be a continual reminder and
reference. The exhibit would give per-
sons a shance to discuss the various
ARTICLES and this might lead to their
improvement in some cases. In fact
there is no estimating the good that
might accrue to the community from
such an exhibit. By all means let us
ihave it. Yours respectfully,
EMMA RAID,
Salt Lake city, Utah.
