DECLINE AND CONGESTION.

The Republican apologist says:
Democratic papers insist that the
steady decline in prices and the conges-
ton in business which has come par
ticularIy on the United States in the
past three years is due to the Mckinley
law"
Now that is not the right way to
state the case; it is this: The Repub-
licans claim that the business depres-
sions of the past year came through
the fear of Democratic legislation. To
this the Democrats reply, that if those
evils came through legislation. it must
have been Republican legislation, be-
cause there had been no other and eff
fects do not come before their cause.
They also show by facts and figures
that after the passage of me Mckinley
law, prices declined, there were strikes
and failures and riots and labor trou-
bles, and wool, lead and silver. under
the full operations Of that law, went
down to their lowest fgU, IS in the mar
ket.
In admitting that there has been "a
steady decline in prices and a conges-
ton in business during "the past
three years" our morning contempo-
rary gives away the Republican case.
If the troubles of 1893 were caused by
fear of something to come. how about
the decline" and the Congestion OF
1892 and 1891, when there were no such
pretended anticipations?
But our neighbor is nothing if not
contradictory. Endorsing the irrational
assertion that a Democratic admins

az the distresses of the country during
the last twenty years came through
what it always calls the "demonetiza-
ton" of silver in 1873
Do not forget that. whether by a
blunder or a fraud. the coming of silver

congestion in business now acknowl-

also Republican legislation.
Thus, whichever way you look at it,
whether the troubles of 1891, '92 and '93
were caused by the silver legislation
,, of 1873, or the tariff legislation Of 1890,
or both combined, it was Republican
work, and when political dodgers init
mate it was caused by Democratic
laws or policy, past or prospective,
they simply play the demagogue to de-
! ceive the unreflecting.

AXES AND HATCHETs,

The Hunt axes in 1890 were sold by
the wholesale merchants of this city
to the smaller dealers at $40 per dozen.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
of Oct 4. 1890, in its export edition,
page 4OS, gives a cut of the axe and
advertises it to foreign purchasers
thus:
f'Three-quarter axe Hunt $3.50 per
dozen, discount As"
The price of those axes by the dozen
to the foreign purchaser is thus $7.42
or sos les than to our merchants per
dozen.
Even today, with the general strin-
gency and low prices, these axes cannot
be had in this city for les than $3.50
per dozen.
1t is the same with shingIing hatch
cts. claw-hatchets, lathing hatchets,
broad axes. AIDES, and other similar

This is another object lesson in pro-
lection. 1t helps the foreigner and robs

To the Voters OF Salt Lake City.


I have for some years been in the
habit of writing and talking to you on
political and other public questions, not
for personal ends, but to further as
have believed, the interests of the
present and future inhabitants of Utah.
! Will you take the trouble to peruse,
and ponder upon, these lines which may
and probably will be, the last 1 will
address to you?
Do you desire the welfare of the
people? If you do, vote today for Will
liam C. Hall.
vote for that gentleman is a vote
for silver. vote for w. c. Hall is a
vote for statehood
A vote for William c. Hall will be an
endorsement of Hon. Joseph L. Raw
Inns. Do you want to endorse him?
A vote for William c. Hall will be an
endorsement of the Democratic party
of the United States.
vote for William C. Hall will be an
endorsement of a Tariff for Revenue,
so fixed as to afford Incidental protec-
ton to infant industries.
| Remember, that tariff is a tax,
which must be paid by the consumer,
/ to the capitalist producer.
/ What has the Republican party done
for you? 1t has crippled, if not de-
stroyed, the greatest industry in the
Rocky Mountain regions-the mining
of silver. 1t is true, Mr.. Varian admits
that the Republican law of 1873, which
demonetized silver, was "a mistake -
committed through ignorance of what
the law contained.)
He does not however, tell you why
/ his party did not, during the interven-
ing twenty years, correct the mistake.
He dare not explain the reason.
You all admire this glorious country,
I from Texas to Montana, including Ari-
iona and California. To whom do you
owe the honor Of it's annexation to the
Union?
The Democratic party obtained this
great domain. The Democratic party,
through the fundamentally of that
grand Democrat, Thomas Jefferson, OBJ
tanned from France the immense and
invaluable domain known as the Louis
lara purchase.
The Democratic party has always
been the friend of the masses, the rich
as well as the poor.
1t is in favor of an honest and eco
'fnomical administration of public af-
fairs.
If you, fellow citizens, are in favor
of such government, vote for William
C. Hall, who is the representative of
that party.
For more than twenty years I have
advocated statehood for Utah, and ]
now say to you, I still advocate it.
If you want Utah to become a state
vote for William C. Hall, for remember
that vote against him will be count
ed against statehood by those who have
control of that question. Very respect
fully HADLEY ID. JOHNSON.

WORTHLESS STATISTICS.

The Republican campaign committee
presented some statistics in last even
ing's News.
One paragraph gives the price of
steel rails in England at $34.07 per ton.
The real price is $40.
Another specimen is this: PROF. Paul
told you that the United States sent out
100000 more gold and silver in the past
four years than it received; but he did
not explain that the Mckinley bill has
rapidly remedied that"
The Mckinley bill became law Oct. l,
1890. During 1890 the excess of gold
and silver exports was s1S,172O94. In
1891, with the Mckinley law in opera
ton, the loss of specie by export was,
$72, 694, 1875. In 1892 the excess exported
was $13,351, 946. In the first nine months
of the fiscal year ending June 80, 1898,
the last yet officially reported, the ex-
port of gold alone exceeded the import
by $51,144,171.
That is the way in which the McKin-
ley law "remedied" the loss of gold and
silver.

chasers three yeas ago.

The Tribune says Democrats tell
how rich England has become under
free trade That is not true. 1t is
the Republicans and the Tribune that
have told the story. That paper has
repeated it, time and again. Mr. Var
ian echoed the tale at the Theatre
Democrats have merely taken up the
Republican admission and turned it
upon the party that used it. If under
free trade England has gained the
commerce of the world and controlled
the money of the world, is it not time
that the United States tried the same
policy? Under protection, as Republi-
cans admit. we are and have been the
commercial and financial interiors of
Great Britain.

The verified figures showing how pro-
tected manufacturers can ship abroad
their wares at a much lower price than
those sold in this country, have not
been refuted and cannot be. The Re
publicans who see their force as a
smashing blow at the protection fall
lacy, have tried to concentrate atten-
ton on one pattern of sewing ma
chimes. the iron work of which is cast
in Scotland. That does not touch the
argument. nor approach the facts in
regard to other machines and the vari-
Gus articles the prices of which in both

The answer to question 5 is obvious.
THE TRADE BALANCE.
To the Editor of The Herald.

To the Editor Of The Herald
In an article in your paper of the
10Th ult. it is stated that the exports
of this counry for 1891 exceeded the i'm
ports by $112, 25S,S23, and it further
states that all this wealth is trans
ferred from our country to foreign
countries to be invested and to escape
taxation here. Will you kindly oblige
by informing me through your paper
if you Go not think all this wealth is
not interest and dividends on foreign
investments in our country. This ma
ton remains so we shall always have
this balance of trade in our favor as
the protectionist calls it. To my way
of reasoning there is no such thing as
balance of trade either in favor of, or
against a nation. A country must
always pay for what she buys of for
eign countries and for this reason her
exports must equal her imports If I
remember rightly, the imports of Great
Britain last year exceeded her exports
by about 100000, 900. This is because
she is the great creditor nation, ali
this wealth is interest on her invest
ments in foreign countries and she has
acquired all this wealth and a great
deal more since she has adopted free
trade. She Is the richest nation per
capita in the world. Her wealth is
about $1,000 per capita.
w. H. WANDER.
Part of what goes abroad is perhaps
Interest on what we owe; but much
of our excess of exports is due to the
high tax on imports, which prevents
TO certain extent the Importation of
articles that constitute what is called
wealth. Today, Americans are invest
ling largely in foreign enterprises. 1t
may pay an American better, because
of our tariff taxes, to build a railroad
lin Australia OF in the Argentine Repub-
lie than in the United States. If he
builds abroad his rails will cost him
only SIS per ton; here they will cost
him $50 per ton; and many other of his
supplies in proportion. So that, while
this country would naturally be the
most profitable field for investment, on
account of its great natural resources,
Iyet on account of the advanced cost

the liberty of asking a reply to the
following questions:
First. Has the party of protection
always gagged tariff charges simply
to cover the difference in cost between
American labor and what the Singer
sewing machine agent is pleased to
style foreign pauper labor?
Second. Granting that Singer ma
chimes abroad are made by that pauper
labor, are there not many other kinds
Fof machines made in this country. and
sold in the markets of the world in
direct and successful competition with
that pauper labor?v
Third. If such a thing is possible,

Thirty per cent of the cost of cot
ton is labor cost, and 81 per cent Of
the cost of woolens is labor cost, ac-
.cording to the table by Commissioner
WadIin for Massachusetts in 1885. Ten
per cent tariff will more than equalize
the difference in wages. The Mckinley
tax on cottons is As per cent, and on
woolens, from so per cent upwards.
