THE STRAIGHT OF 1T.


AS we suspected, the interview with
Hon. ]. L. Rawlins, Delegate from
Utah, reported in the Washington
Post, does not bear out the statement
telegraphed to the Tribune by it's
Washington correspondent, that he at
tributed his defeat to the fact that ''the
Mormon vote went against him bodily"
According to the Post he said. 1.-THE
dissatisfaction of the western people in
regard to the treatment of silver had
no little to do with the reverses of the
Democracy-that and the dull times. Z"
As to his own defeat, he thought the
action of the Mormon authorities in
supporting his opponent was an i'm
portant factor. He is reported as say
ing that because of that 1.-The bulk of
the Mormon vote went to his opponent
though quite a number of them stood
staunchly by the Democratic candi-
date"
We do not believe that even in that
modified form he is correctly reported
1t is difficult to get the average eastern
interviewer to state exactly what a
man says, on public or private affairs
Mr.. Rawlins believes, doubtless, that
some Of the votes to which he refers
were cast under the influence men
toned. But he knows that he polled
about 5000 votes more than he had
two years before. He knows that the
chief majorities for his opponent came
from the supporters of the Liberal
ticket of 1892. And he knows that the
Democratic voters of Utah, whether
Mormon or non-Mormon, stood by him
manfully, though he did not draw to
his suppers the non-partisan citizens
to the eStert expected.
OF cours>' s;iere need be no animated
discussion ever this matter, which is
almost thing of the past. But it is
as we'll to have these matters put
right. Tbs Liberal element which sup
ported C. E. Allen to the number of
6,9Se two years before, went over al

TREE SHIPS.

There are many important recon-
mendations in the Presidents message
but none more important than that re-
lating to the granting of American
registry rights to foreign built ships.
This recommendation was in line with
his remarks at the launching of the ST.
Louis last month.
The shipbuilding industry is an i'm
portant one but it has not thrived under
can never be claimed for protection
that it has given life and vigor to the
shipbuilding industry. That industry
as the President remarks, has been pro-
tected to strangulation.
Ships are built for the purpose of
carrying on ocean commerce and not
for the mere pride and satisfaction of
building them and as a part of patriot
ism. Being built for this purpose, those
who want to put their capital into them
will put it in where they can buy the
cheapest. That is merely good COM
mon sense and sound business principle
The carrying trade is the great thing
own interest in the matter. And why
should they not? If by buying English
built ships and sailing them under the
Union Jack Americans can make more
money than by having ships built in
America and flying the Stars and
Stripes, they are going to do it, That
is what those patriotic Americans did
no Do p;c
They were willing to have two other
vessels of the same kind built in
America if their foreign ships were
given American registry rights. They
did it for the simple reason that there
was more money in it than the enter
prise in which they were engaged.
Millions Of dollars are now paid to
foreigners for carrying American pas
sengers and products across the sea
that might just as we'll be kept in this
country but for our absurd registry
laws. How absurd it would be for a
railroad company to insist on building
its own cars and locomotives when it
could buy them very much cheaper, and
all for the sake of sentiment. Such a
railroad company would find itself in
the same position that the shipbuilding
industry in this country finds itself
left. People themselves will travel by
that line of railroad or steamships that
gives them the best accommoda ton at
the least cost. And they will send out
and bring in their products and mer-
chandise on the same lines. And the
lines that can do this the cheapest are
those that are built and equipped at the
least cost.
Give the country free ships and thar
will revive American commerce, and
when once that is revived this country
will very soon build it's own ships in
which to carry it on.

countries whose gOvernme rts refuse tc
open their minis to the free coinage 81
silver and gold. Such a provision would
mot affect those same countries but only
| the American importers. Why should
this be done When itssonly effect would
be to annoy trade? 1t would not have
| the effect desired. namely, to compel
| the gold standard countries to adopt a
system Of free coinage for gold and
silver. When American merchants buy
from foreigners it is for purposes OF
trade, and they expect the foreigners to
buy Of them. Ii we had free coinage
| the government could not refuse to let
gold go from the treasury when de-
manded upon the presentation of either
gold notes or treasury notes. If it did.
lit would discredit itself. If there were
nothing but gold and silver money the
tendency of such a law as the Hart
man bill would be to discriminate in
favor of gold and cause it to apnreci-
ate, the very thing of which tina free
silver men now complain.
The cause of free silver needs no such
poiSleIiHS UP as Is mere proposed, and
if it did then it would not be entitled
to the support of the people Silver
can stand on its own merits, and it is
just such lame and weak expedients as
the proposed Hartman law that do so
much to discredit it. There should be
free coinage of silver because of the
scarcity of gold and it's great apprecia-
ton in consequence: there should be
free coinage of silver because there is
not enough gold for the money uses of
commerce: there should be free coinage
of silver because its decentralization has
been followed by panics and great bust
ness depression that are traceable more
or less directly to it. The silver issue
should be presented to the people free
from all extraneous questions, and to
attach this nostrum. or that to it as
an aid is only to becloud it and drag it
down. The laws of trade and finance
are pretty well defined and lex talionis
Is no part of them.
Such makeshifts as this Hartman bill
serve to retard rather than advance
the cause of silver. A just cause needs
no clap-trap. The Hartman bill is clap
trap; the silver cause is a just cause.

In his Thanksgiving sermon, Bishop
Henry e. Potter, of New York, said:
We have lately Teen delivered from a

most rank and largest fortune, who
nave contributed of their means ito the
uncovering of the great moral cesspool
over which we have all been living,
nave entreated that their names should
pc suppressed lest their publication
should work their ruin A reign of
terror which has held in its iron grasp
the most powerful institutions, and has
robbed them equally with the most
helpless bootblack and apple vender at
It's villa reign of terror which has
even Claimed to have the most yener-
able dignitaries of religion, Mho have
remained silent through all the dis
closure OF its infamies, chained to its

mas made New York a stencil in the

iilost IN body if,not quite, to the Re-
publican side. These, with some voters
belonging to no party who went the
same way, made up the majority for
the Republican candidate, in addition
to the regular Republican vote which
was cast for him
There need be no feeling engendered
as to religious influence in this matter,
because the figures will not bear out
the statement that it prevailed to any
great extent, whatever the effort may
have been to make it So Neither '.in
body nor in great bulk" did the
vote that should have gone to the
Democratic candidate go over to his
opponent. Let justice be done though
reporters fall-into error. as they do
sometimes unwittingly. Never mind
the past; let as look to the future,
which is bright to those who have eyes
to see.

Senator Power, Of Montana, thinks
that state will instruct its delegates to
the Republican national convention to
demand the insertion of a plank in the
platform favoring the free coinage of
silver at the ratio Of 16 to or, in case
of failure, to withdraw from the eonven-
ton. There is certain intensity of
local color about this deliverance. The
next Republican national platform will
not favor free coinage at any ratio and
Montana will not withdraw from the
convention. 1t will learn good deal
before 1896, and among other things,
will doubtless give up the notion that
the tail can wag the dog" says the
st. Paul Pioneer Press. That states
the Republican position on silver as it
Is. ii could not be better defined.

There is some talk on the Democratic
side of the Senate of a change in the
rules. The rules in many respects
seem antiquated and cumbersome and
at times have been perverted to par
tisan use. Yet these same rules have
been the means of preventing some
bad legislation. The great trouble is
that the members of the Senate have
not that fine sense of courtesy and dig
nifty that once characterized that body.
The personnel as well as the rules
needs revision.
