PREMATURE CHICKEN COUNTING.

One Of the commonest and cheapest
lodges in election times is the manipu-
lation of figures, which do not lie,' to
convey false impression to the public.
1t is peculiarly a Republican trick. 1t
is in consonance with the Claim
Everything policy recommended by
the chairman of that party in this ter
ritory. Acting on that, the Tribune
presents some figures very artfully ar
ranged to show the .impossibility of
electing Hon. J. L. Rawlins as Dele
gate to Congress. The intent of this is
to dishearten the Democrats and re-
vive the dropping spirits of the Re
publicans.
OF course if the Democratic party of
Utah could be induced to throw up the
sponge" it would be very pleasant for
the G. o. p. Or if the workers for the
party could be made to fear the result
it would act somewhat in the same di-
rection. But it is too late to try that
on. Those same figures have been
canvassed and scanned by the Demo-
crazy, and others that our cunning
but not very wise contemporary has
not considered, or if it has considered
it has suppressed, put the case in
very different light and one which
would be exceedingly discouraging to
Republicans if they had them at hand.
AS it is, we will let them count their
chickens before they are Matched, with
the assurance that some of the old
eggs they have been reckoning on are
added.
The figure trick now sprung on the
public is a mixing and mingling, ac-
companied by a little juggling. Of the
returns of 1892 which are territorial
and those of 1898 which are municipal,
the result being an assumed majority
for the Republican candidate In the
shuttle, the LOO voters who stayed at
home at the election Of 1893 are pushed
aside, with a number of factors neces-
sary to a correct result in the sum
total.
The scheme will not work There is
dubiety and trouble in the Republican
camp. There is unity and assurance in
the Democratic ranks. The reelection
of Rawlins is not a matter OF doubt, it
- OiiiS Liz size VI MS IudjOIIlH IldI is
The people have recovered
from the daze into which they were
thrown by the Republican panic of 1898
and its consequent troubles, and their
eyes are open to the truth concerning
it.
They also understand the splendid
work accomplished by the Democratic
Delegate, and the benefits bestowed by
a Democratic Congress and administra-
ton in eighteen months, after Republi-
can hostility for thirty years. AS the
Democratic platform aff1rms: 1.-The
people of Utah are not forgetful nor
are they ungrateful." And while there
are so many good and sufficient reasons
for Rawiins' return to Congress there
is not one sound reason why his op-
ponent should be preferred.
We confidently anticipate a rousing
majority for the son of Utah who has
proven himself "the peer, of his asso-
GATES in Congress. who has secured
to Utah the great boon of statehood.
and whose record is without a blot
while he has never sought office and
only stands ready to occupy it now be-

elected, all right, no matter how figures
may be footed up before the votes are

THE COUNTY Committees.

1
The efficiency of the work of the
democratic Central committee will de-
Ipend very largely upon the support
given that committee by the county
COMMITTEES. The campaign is fairly
upon us and every thing must be done
ito insure success. The Central COM
imittee has made some calls upon the
Icountv committees and in all cases
they have not been responded to as
promptly as they might have been.
This should not be. No one county is
more interested in the outcome of the
present campaign than another, and
the responsibility for carrying the
ticket to success rests upon all alike
1t must be plain TO the various com
mittees throughout the territory that
the work to be done must be done as
mapped out and if that work is slight
ed or neglected it may have i'll conse-
duences. Another thing. If one county
flags it sets bad example and has a
tendency to cause apathy in other
counties. Let the county committees
land the precinct committees work as
though the success of the whole cam
paign depended upon the efforts of
each. If this is done there will be no
failure
The Democratic party has more to
do than to elect a Delegate to Con-
gress this fall. If That were all, the
magnificent record of the present Dele
gate would be a guarantee of this. But
there is something more to be done,
the. most important thing that this
territory will ever have to do; this is
the formation of q constitution for the
new state. To get control of the con-
lvention that will form this constitu-
ton is the great aim of the Republi-
ican party. To accomplish this they
lare bending all their efforts. If their
purpose in this were to give the people
OF Utah the very best constitution pos
sible there would not be any special
danger in their success. but if the Re
publicans get control of the constitu-
Itional convention it is more than likely
that there will be such a gerrymander-
ing of the new state for the sole pur-
pose of intrenching the Republicans in
power for years to come that the old
est inhabitsnt will not be able to recog-
nize the districts.
The one thing more than all others
that the people of Utah don't want
when she becomes a state is a rabidly
partisan constitution. To avoid this
the county committees must be active
and alert and promptly respond
to any and all calls from the Central
committee. Let them remember that
there is a prominent Republican here
today from the east who is an adept
in all the arts of campaign manage
ment. and that while here his advice
and experience will be at the disposal
of the Republicans who are managing
the campaign. His being here at this
particular time may be mere coin
cidence. but he is here just the same.
In view of the Importance of the is
sues before the people and the active
endeavors of the Republicans to cap
ture the constitutional convention for
partisan purposes, we urge upon the
county committees to be unceasing in
the fight to preserve the rights of the
people. We feel certain that they will,
and that their efforts will be crowned
with success.

|. he l1ws which the Mckinley bill was
INTENDED TO remedy, we were letting the
balance of trade in our favor remain
very small:
Mdse. Imports. Exports Balance.
1890 SIS, 900 900 S s45.OoOO0o 5000. 900
1892 s27,OOOOOO Lois. 900 $4,000, 900
The Republican expert committee
meant. of course. that the Mckinley bin
had increased our exports and dimin-
ished our imports to that extent SO that
we are now receiving the balance in
gold and silver. But alas for their
theory; the facts refute it.
Our exports of gold exceeded our i'm
ports in each of these years, the total
for the three years being s72,957, 109;
and our exports of silver exceeded our
imports by s31, 260,526.
The Republican experts, whose figures
we have quoted, say in the same place.
These figures are official and taken
in every instance from the government
reports" Just so; and if the reader will
add up the figures showing the excess
of exports including gold and silver,
he will find that the Mckinley bill in
three years has driven out of this
country for investment abroad a total
of $S76,217,6 35. That much more wealth
went out. than came in. That much
American wealth was transferred to
other countries. That much has, of
course. been invested abroad. Republic
cans think this country gains all that
is transferred to other countries in this
way. They claim rightfuliy enough
that the Mckinley bill drives wealth
out of the country and prevents the
wealth that is the pay for it from COM
ing in. But they forget to show why it
is a good thing for this country year
after year, and decade after decade to
be all the time sending away to other
countries more goods, more gold, more
silver, than other countries send here.

The question whether alcoholic slim
ulants are proper to be given on re-
quest to prisoners about to be executed,
is a proper subject for public discus
sion. But the story set afloat that
Enoch Davis was made drunk and died
in that condition is emphatically de-
MED by men who were present at the
shooting, and particularly by those Off
GERS who had the best opportunity of
knowing the exact facts. 1t is easy to
find fault; it is not always easy to
prove your grumble.

The Logan Journal puts the action
Of the late Republican legislature as to
education in this forcible light: "It is
an established fact that the Republican
members of the last legislature tried
to take from the school fund money
and give it to private corporations. No
Republican car deny that the policy
Of the last Republican legislature was
to injure the schools for the sake of a
few favorite corporations. The Repub-
lcan majority tried to turn part of
the school, money into the general fund
and would have done so but for the
Intervention Of Governor West. Their
object in doing so was understood
when they voted lot of bounties and
made no other provision for paying
them. These are facts, recorded facts,
and the voters of Utah will remember
them"

Through errors in proof-reading, to

grave mistakes appeared in The Her.
aid on Thursday morning. This was
particularly noticeable and regrettable
in an editorial in reference to Hon. ].
L. Rawlins, the worst being the omis-
sion of a line and the insertion of the
word Improbable" instead Of unim-
peachabie, giving exactly the opposite
meaning to that intended. Rawlins'
record is unimpeachable, and no error
of types or anything else will change
that "unimpeachable" fact.

1892 was under he Mckinley bill, the
best year in our country's history.
In other words, the Republican party
asserts that because Great Britain gave
in 1890 goods that cost her to produce
these exports goods that are worth to
her at home 5000, 1886, 1856. therefore she
lost the difference-trade was "31 per
cent against her.
That is. by giving one and one-third
billions in goods, for two billions in
goods, nation loses 81 per cent, does
it?
If man gives something that cost
him S1.3O for something else worth to
the difference? The Republican party
says he loses the difference.
All international trade is exchange
of products at last; and the difference
between the value of the imports and
the exports, if that value is honestly
stated. must show the gain. And if
there is any gain in the trade the ex-
cess of imports over exports will show
that gain.
But Republicans believe that the COM
l. rec of the world is still carried on as
1t was before banking and clearing
house transactions became general
They think the balance of trade" is
paid in gold, as it ttce was hundreds
of years ago. They do not know that
products pay for products. They do not
know that this balance" never has
been paid in gold by any modern ma
ton.
The belief that the balance of trade"
necessarily represents something to
be paid in gold or silver is a total mis-
apprehension of the. actual workings
of international trade. This belief is
the foundation of the protective sys-
tenn; and we propose to expose it.
For the nineteen years ending in 1891
our exports of merchandise exceeded
our imports by $1.5S0,S96,742. We sent
away that much more than we received.
Every Republican believes and pro-
claims that we received that balance"
in gold Instead of that our exports of
gold exceeded our imports by $25, 1852, 0S3;
and our exports OF silver exceeded our
imports by $23S, SS0,111
In other words we exported in nine
teen years $1.S45, 17S,SS6 in goods ana
gold and silver combined over and
above what we imported. We gave
that much more than we received. Re-
publicans say that since we gave more
than we got, we gained the difference.
They teach that the more wealth we
export and the less we import, the
richer we shall be. If we should export
everything we have and receive moth
ing in return. they think we would be-
come fabulously wealthy by the pro-
cess. Thus the Republican official ad-
vertisement, carefully prepared by the
wisest heads of the party, said in the
same issue:

The issue which Colonel Breckenridge
forced upon the people of the Ashland
district fully justiffes the fierce opposi-
ton which he encountered. There was
no doubt of his guilt. He had made con-
fesslon of his offense in the court of JUS
tice which rendered judgment against
against his own family, he added the
audacity of demanding a vIndication at
the hands of his constituents. 1t was q
demand which outraged every sense of
decency and which arrayed all of the
genuine moral forces of the district in
opposition to the man who ought to have
understood that, for him the post of hon
or was the private station.
The verdict is in harmony with whole
some public sentiment everywhere.-Kan-

farmers would reply that in spite of
that alleged protection which did not

fact that Mr.. Brecklnridge's own testi-

nor was it wholly due to the fact that

Yet we can gather from the tone of
Breckinridge's ora tory to the effect that
he was a repentant sinner and therefore
ought to be sent to Congress- that he
really conceived that the triumph of pol
ltics over decency by his denomination
would reverse the effects of the self-ex-
posture which he and his counsel made in
that famous trial. This view of the tran
STORY nature of exposure may be based
on the innate conviction that nothing is
disgraceful which the voters can be ca
joled into swallowing; but fortunately the
voters of the Ashland district declined
to furnish even that shaky foundation
for claim of indulgence and absolution.
