A PRONOUNCED FAILURE.

Iowa like Maine has had a great deal
of experience in trying to establish pro-
hibition by law The stories told of
liquor dealing on the sly in Maine are
familiar to the public, and the fact
that prohibition does not prohibit in
that state is very well understood. Iowa,
comes to the front now with similar
Experiences.
We do not mention this as affording
a conclusive argument against the pro-
hibition theory. Of course if the SUD-
ply could be cut off, and people could
be prevented from satisfying the very
general and very ancient appetite for
strong drink a vast aggregate of evils
ould be eliminated from the world, and
perhaps mankind would be the better
for it The improbability of accom-
plishing this by law is the point to be
considered.
Iowa has tried it and failed. Liquor
has been sold to an enormous extent
under prohibition there and license
law is to supersede it. In the city of
Davenport, in spite of the state law
against it, 22O saloons have been pay
ing 5000 a year each into the municipal
treasury for the privilege of selling
intoxicants. With population under
10000, that gives one saloon to every
l136 souls n the city, which is a pretty
lively ratio for prohibition town.
That tells the tale in few words.
The South Carolina expedient has
also proven failure. State govern
ments must not establish a monopoly
in any traffic, nor must they engage
in any kind of private business. Equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none" is an axiom of pure Democracy
and the rule ought not to- be violated
even to regulate the traffic in intoxi-
!cants.
Massachusetts, is talking of introduce
ing the Gothenburg system, which is
said TO have worked well in Norway
The underlying principle is the forna-
ton in every city or town which should
adopt the system, of a company of five
responsible citizens who are to control
the sale and after a five per cent divi-
Idend has been earned on the capital

WELCOME TO SALT LAKE.


K Visitors to Salt Lake, who will be
numerous during the next few days,
should be careful as to mingling with
strangers. These semi-annual gather
ings of the people from various parts
of the territory have become known to
the "sharpers' and they anticipate,
like the legitimate tradesman of the
city, doing lively business while the
crowd is here.
Special detectives have been engaged
for police work and a sharp lookout
will be kept for the swindlers who will
attempt to take in the unsophisticated.
Visitors should avoid being inveigled
into strange places by plausible and
oily-tongued persons and may always
know that when something is offered
for nothing robbery is intended
Games of all kinds for money under
any pretense are not only unlawful but
are designed by gamblers to fleece the
unwary. If not avoided on principle
they ought to be for the sake of pru-
dence.
Pickpockets will probably mingle
with the throngs around the Temple
block. Visitors hould be careful of
their money and valuables and not ex-
pose them to theft. 1t will be wise for
visitors not to wander alone away
from the business part of town after
dark
We advise our friends from the
country to visit the Home Industry
fair in the Continental market The
building itself is worth seeing, and the
variety of home made goods displayed
there will prove interesting and pro-
fitable. What Utah can do to supply
its own people with many necessaries
and some luxuries, can be seen there
to a great extent and everybody in
town should inspect them.
Safe places to trade and make pur-
chases may be known by consulting
the advertising columns of The Herald.
Live merchants appeal to the public
through the press. If anything is
wanted that can be depended upon the

Interviews with a number of well
known Boston firms engaged in the
cotton and wooden industries, result
in bringing out this verdict: Settle the

this depression at once by taking ac-

how they act so long as they come to

We learn from an exchange that
Nick Zanthos, of Corpus Christi, owns
a valuable collection of ancient Greek
coin and rare old pottery. OF the lat
ter, one piece is in the shape of q
small bowl, which will hold water up
to a certain mark, not drop of which
will run out. When the water rises
above this mark, however, every par
ticle runs out of a hole at the bottom,
which quite mystifies the beholder who
does not know how it is done. Another
curiosity is an earthen pitcher, and
there is also a small bust of Diana,
which, although done in clay, shows
exquisite workmanship. Some of these
curiosities were dug from ruins ante
dating the Christian era, therefore
they must be very ancient.

In reference to the decline in Ameri-
can shipping the New York Herald
sagely remarks: While high .'protec-
tive tariff is in force American manu-
featured goods must necessarily remain
too high TO compete in foreign markets
with the manufactures of other nations
less encumbered by protection" or
more advanced in the development of
their industries Our export business
in such. wares ,must therefore be very
limited. At the same time, while we
require that imported goods from
foreign countries shall pay high duties.
our import trade also must suffer, since
the ability Of our people to buy dutiable
imported goods will ever be lessened
under every form of a protective"
tariff. 1t needs no argument there
fore. to show that SO long as we pursue
the ruinouss policy of protection. our
carrying trade cannot develop freely
and our shipping must continue to
Ianguish or to take very subordinate
place on the ocean.

and a reserve equal to the capital has
been accumulated, the surplus net
profits are to be applied to objects of
public utility. The theory is that the
companies would be composed of pub
llic-spirited men, who would, moreover,
be free from any temptation to foster
the sale of intoxicants, by the restric-
ton upon their profits; and some of
the more 1iberal-minded prohibitionists
look with favor upon the scheme.
The objection to this is its monopo-
Using tendency and the probability
that people who desire to engage in
the traffic will do so either by openly
defying the law or by subterfuge and
partial secresy defeating it. The
popular sentiment will in most places
be with the Independent dealers and
against the law.
The President of the Liquor Dealers
Association of New York, who has
been giving his views on the subject
of the traffic, has this to say as to the
Norwegian plan:
81 was once asked to give my views
on the Gothenburg system Of saloons.

system in, the countries of Norway and
Sweden, where it had been tried,

York, acquainted intimately with the
saloon business, and by my own choice,
not because Of my business, dabbling
more or less in politics, l said that
such a system would not be success
! in this country. A corporation having
a monopoly of saloon licenses and I'm
der close municipal or governmental
supervision must of necessity carry
with it an army of employees and in
iSpectorS. There would be Superintend-
ents and managers and buyers and
watchers and bookkeepers and account
ants and bartenders almost without
number Is it probable that the pol
Iiticians would overlook this promising
| field? Is it not a perfectly safe state
ment to say that politics and liquor
selling, so far from being divorced
would be more intimately associated
than ever before in the history Of the
city and country? 1 think it is.
Let the statement that alcoholic
stimulants are a positive evil go un-
challenged and still the fact remains
that they are in demand all over the
world. Experience has shown that this
demand will find a supply. It has also
demonstrated that where any consider,
able portion of the population want
liquor, they will get it in spite of law
and the sentiments of others There
fore the high license system is viewed
by the most conservative thinkers and
Legislators as the best known means
of regulating that which cannot be
Suppressed.
BY this means the traffic is kept
within certain bounds, is invested with
a degree of responsibility, and is made
to contribute to the public revenue
which in turn protects the people
against its evils and diverts to a good
purpose the money spent to crafty an
appetite which, however it may be de-
cried, is a fact in human existence and
must be taken into account by the
wise. Prohibition by law has up tc
date proved a pronounced failure.
