An Elastic Currency.

This term, made Odious by the
plutocratic press when the st.
Louis convention formulated a f.
nancial policy which would have
saved the country from its present
condition, is again made prOmi-
nent by these same papers in COM
mendation of the presidents latest
craze.
Mr.: Cleveland has gone mad
now and wants an ''elastic" cur
rency.
But there is method in his mad
ness; a deep and sinister purpose.
That an elastic currency Citing
and adjusting itself to the coun-
try's deeds and giving the people a
volume of money sufficient at all
times to meet the requirements of
trade), is the thing needed above
all others at the present time no
one will deny. The St. Louis
platform provided for such cur
rency; the demand was reiterated at
the the Ocala convention and forms
one of the basic demands of the
populist platform. The sub-treas-
ury plan was recommended to be
discussed, and that or something
better" asked to be adopted.
But it was visionary" Gun
constitutional The offspring Of
the diseased brain of impractical
bic cranks. The only man who
condescended to submit ''some-
thing better" was Farmer John B.
Gordon, who proposed his NAM
moth warehouse on the coast,
which somehow became mixed up
and buried under the ruins of the
''last days of the Confederacy," and
the something better" has lain
dormant till the president is spurr-
ed by the bankers.
But now, after having succeeded
in the destruction of silver as q
money metal he comes forward
and admitting by inference that the
populists were right from the first,
he proposes that something bet
ter"
The trouble with the presidents
plan is that, like his contraction
scheme it works exactly the wrong
way. The plan he proposes would
indeed make our currency elastic.
but the strings would be placed ir
the hands of the bankers and gold
bugs; and these tender hyenas who
fatten on the misery of others
could be depended upon to contract
the volume when the great staple:
of the country are to be thrown OF
the market, and then expand it tt
make the producer pay imitation
prices till he could make another
crop to sacrifice in the next season
of contraction.
The sub-treasury or something

mitted through Mr.. Cleveland il
decidedly worse.-Wool Hat.

TIN PLATE POLITICS,

A dispatch from Pittsburg announc-
es that all the tin plate plants in the
country would close down last Satur-
lday night. There is said to be a wide
difference between the manufacturers
and workers on the subject of wages.
There always was and always will be
a wide difference between the manu-
facturers and workers in the protected
industries in the matter of wages. The
manufacturers and beneficiaries of
protection usually make the hypocriti-
ical claim that the protection is asked
that they may be enabled to give high
Ter wages, scorning in their assumed
virtue the idea that it is asked that
they may have increased profits First
the workingman is used as bait to
lget protection, then he is used as a
buffer by the protectionists and made
to stand all the blows that pretended
adversity to any industry may bring.
There is a strange coincidence be-
tween this announcement and the very
recent order to shut down half of the
refineries that are under the control
of the Sugar trust. Is it a conspiracy
en- the part of the protected interests
to compel their employees to vote for
the Republican candidates that the
Mckinley tariff may be restored? To
!cut wages and then say it is necessary
under the new tariff, is very easy
method Of working political plot
The wages are being cut and the
works closed in order to compel the
workmen to support the policy of pro-
lection.
This sudden difference between en-
ployers and worlmen about wages is
very remarkable. The tin plate indus
try was considered to be in a very
healthy condition. The advance sheet
of the Iron Age, says a special dis
patch to the Pittsburg Dispatch, of
the 9th ult., says:
The rush into the tin plate industry
lis attracting attention. Hardly a
week passes by but what new projects
are announced, and what is far more
tangible. there is recorded the placing
of contracts for tin plate machinery
The Iron Age is supposed to know
the state of the market. and its an
nouncement shows the tin plate indus
try is in thriving condition. When
the tin plate mill owners find their
scheme won't work, they will resume
Operations and accede to the work
mems demands.

A HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.

One thing in which the citizens all
agree is that we have a good school
system, and that the school buildings
are equal in all respects to any in the
land. That the people appreciate all
this is evidenced by the fact that the
school houses are not adequate to ac
all the children of school
age and who desire to avail themselves
of the educational facilities offered.
The city's school system is good and
the teaching is intended to fit those
who have completed the work of all
the grades to enter the high school.
The majority of those who complete
the common school course will not en-
ter the high school but will go out into
the world, and the battle of life with
mo more educational equipment than
they receive in the public schools.
The others will go to the high school,
some with a view to entering the uni
versfty, some with no other purpose
than to complete the high school course.
But when the pupils from the public
schools desire to enter .the high. school
there. is no high school building to re-
ceivA them. The building now being
used for the purpose is not only made
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-10-01

quate but is not. fit. 1t was built for
store, and is without those facilities
for heating and ventilating that our
standard of school buildings demands.
If the best results are to be obtained
in the high school then all the sur
roundings must be conducive to that
end. The sanitary conditions should be
such as will insure the health of the
pupils. All this at present is wanting
Our public school system, magnifi-
cent as it is and proud as we are of it,
is incomplete and will remain so until
there is high school building that
shall be fitting crown to it. 1t is
matter that deserves the attention of
the taxpayers, and while just at pres
ent they may not feel able to bear the
burden Of its cost SO soon as they are
able they should insist upon the Board
OF. Education building one.

THE MARKETS OF THE WORLD


A contemporary says that the mark
with the home market. If the markets
OF the world are so poor, how comes it
that England has such vast trade?
Her home market is insignificant when
compared with her foreign market
Nor can it be answered that her col
Ionles are to her much the same as a
nome market, for the colonies adopt
that policy which they deem best
Is there the least reason in the world
FOR fearing that the United States will
ever surrender their home market to
foreigners? The resources of the
country and the energy of the people
are such that this country need not
fear the competition of the world
Whenever it is suggested that this
country might be invaded by foreign
troops in case of war and made to pay
tribute, not only this country but the
world laughs at it. And why? Be
cause its resources are so great, its
people so self-reliant and full of energy
iof all kinds. This country does not find
lit necessary to build great forts and
army Not military nation, this coun-
try for four years carried on one of the
greatest wars ever known, and her sol
diers were the most intelligent. And
when the war was over the more than
Ia million men then under arms re-
turned to their homes, and the charac-
ter and energy of the people were
turned to developing the country. Then
why should we fear to face the world
in the struggle for commercial suprem-
acy?
But if the foreign markets do not
amount TO anything. why did the Re
publicans insert reciprocity clause in
the Mckinley bill? Very recently
Spain has given notice of the restora-
ton of her high protective duties in
Cuba, so far as articles imported from
the United States are concerned. Since
then the Republican papers have been
telling how disastrously the new tariff
bill has affected our trade with Cuba.
And the most rabid protectionist will
not claim chat the Cuban market is the
home market. Tables are published
showing the amount of our trade with
that island and of what it consisted
1t consisted of an exchange of products
and that was all. 1t was not at all
upon the lines of Mr. Lincolns illus
tration of the twenty dollars of Ameri-
can money and the ton of English iron.
The Cuban market was a foreign
market, and the Republicans are say
ing the country has lost it and in con-
sequence American trade has suffered
to the extent of the amount of it with
Cuba. If this trade with Cuba was
good thing, why would not trade. with
other countries be good thing? The
trade was simply an exchange of the
products of the respective countries,
and both benefited by it because both
were enabled to satisfy their demands
by manufacturing and raising those
things to which the resources of their
respective countries were best adapted
and exchanging them for those things
they wanted but which were more
cheaply produced abroad than they
could have produced them at home
Foreign markets enable country to
dispose of those natural products and
articles that it produces
in excess of its own needs and by this
means to supply itself at the least cost
with those things it does not produce
or manufacture

The organ of the Republican party
says Mr.. Rawlins should withdraw
from this campaign, because if elected
he could do no more than his prede-
cessor did. This bit of gratuitous adj
vice is given on the assumption that
the next Congress will be Republican.
From this it must be inferred that a
Republican Congress would do no more
for Utah now than it has done in the
past. That is true. Mr. Rawlins' pre-
decessor then was unable to do any
thing for the people of Utah because
the Congresses in which he sat we're
Republican. Friends of Utah and her
people, amt the Republicans? Heaven
save he people of Utah from

THE POLISH QUESTION.

The Polish question is coming to the
fore again. Already the German gov
eminent is taking special interest in il.
That anything is likely to come of it
all, save agitation, is not probable.
Ever since the partition of Poland it
has been the dream of the Poles to
throw off the yoke of Russia, Austria
and Germany and establish a. united
Poland and be an Independent nation,
respected by the nations of the earth
and welding an influence among than.
But it is a dream and IL all probability
will never be realized. It is to the in
terest of three of the most powerful
nations of Europe that it should not
be realized, and they will see that it is
not.
The remarkable thing about it all is
that the national feeling shoul1 have
survived so long among the Poles and
still be so powerful. 1t is only a hun
dred and twenty-five years since the
partition of Poland.
The present agitation in Prussian
Poland seems quite violent, and to read
of German Protestant school children
being attacked in Posen shows there is a
great deal of feeling at the bottom of it
all Russian Poland has usually been
where the outbreaks have occurred
Whether the Socialists and Anarchists
have been at work stirring up the Poles
remains to be seen. The dispatches saw
that severe repressive measures will he
taken, and of this there is no doubt.
Since so many Poles have come to the
United States and their habits of
thought and life have become known.
the American people. have ceased to
have the same sympathy for Poland
they once had.
