CAUSE OF THE DEPRESSION.

The New York state factory inspect
ors recently made detailed official re-
port of their visits and Investigations.
They inspected during the year 11,O6S
separate factories, workshops and
sweatshops. They found 412,297 per-
sons employed, 1885, of whom were
women and girls. These persons were
classified as to ages as follows: Number
of females under tWenty-one. 1884;
number of females under sixteen, $3.50;
number of males under eighteen,
1885; number of males under sixteen,
1904. They reported improvements as
to child labor, and also in the Sweat
ing system" which prevails in the big
cities of America as we'll as in Europe
with all its grinding oppression on the
poor toilers who are half starved in
spite of sham protection
But we refer to this report simply to
show what is regarded by the inspect
ors as the cause of manufacturing de-
preston in 1893, as learned from the
manufacturers themselves We clip
the following for the benefit of those
who can only see a prospective tariff
as the cause for business disasters.
Perhaps it is not out of place here to
mention that, from the reports received
by the factory inspection department
from the deputies thereof, whose infor-
nation was derived directly and per-
sonally from the employers of labor in
the varied industries of the state, the
business outlook never seemed brighter
than just previous to the beginning of
the present depression. There was no
sigh of overproduction, but on the con-
trary nearly all the mills and factories
had orders ahead which would keep
them running for a long time. Many
overtime in order to meet demands for
their products. There was practically
no disputes as to wages anywhere in
the state, and the outlook was particu-
farly cheering from trade standpoint.
The tightness Of the money market
gradually made itself felt every
where, however, until now a vast
army of our people are idle, thou
sands of workshops and mills hive been
wholly or partially closed, and destitu-
ton prevails in many places. There
was usually but one reason given for
all this-not the tariff question, for
that was used secondarily and then
only by partisans-but the continued
stringency of the money market.

Our morning contemporary always
loses its temper when an opponent gets
it into a corner, and on such occasions
invariably mistakes anger for argu-
ment and epithets for reasoning.
Somebody writing on the wages ques-
ton told the Tribune, it seems, that it
knew better when it said that the pro
tective tariff in this country sustains
the price of labor Now that is the
Tribune's own style of attack. Yet it
few into a rage, called the writer a
'Gunatic," and his letter ''saucy'' and
wound up a TRADE that rambles all
around the question, by denouncing
him as IAN insolent hound" and his
purpose in writing as because he has
a hate away down deep for the truth
OF course both he and the public are
now convinced that the Tribune is al
together superior in character and in
logic to the correspondent, whether he
is a good saint or an incorrigihIe
sinner. Nothing ike pure reason and
courteous language to secure convic-
ton.

A PROPER REPEAL.

The passage of the Federal elections
repeal bill by the Senate sounds the
knell of those Republican measures
which placed the control of elections in
the respective states virtually under
the authority of the Federal govern
ment. The repeal of the provisions
which thus encroached upon states
rights is a vindication of the Demo-
cratic doctrine which preserves to the
people the electoral rights 10 which
they are entitled under the Constitu-
ton.
The clause of that instrument under
which power was claimed to enact the
provisions of law which are to be re
pealed. is in Section ", as follows:
l. The times, places and manner, of
holding elections for Senators and Rep
/ resentatives, shall be prescribed in each
state by the legislature thereof; but
the Congress may at any time by law,
make or alter such regulations except
as to the place of choosing Senator'S
This, it will be seen, opens the way
for q Republican Congress to carry into
effect the ideas OF that party as to
the enlargement of the powers of the
general government and practice its
theory of Capitalization. The evident
purpose of the founders of the nation
was to reserve to the states the right
to regulate all elections within their
respective borders. But also to give
to the Congress power to make neces-
sary changes as TO details Viewing
the whole tenor and spirit of that in
strument, it seems clear that it was
not intended that the general govern
ment should step in and. by a horde
of its minions, 50 supervise and regu-
late elections in states as to overawe
and dominate the state election Of
f1cers and take charge of the pro-
ceedings
This was made possible by the laws
passed after the war with a view to
controlling elections in the south in
the interest of the Republican party.
According to their own showing, how
ever, of late those provisions have
utterly failed to effect the END design
ed. Be that as it may. the laws are in
violation of the rights reserved to the
states under the Constitution and
therefore ought of right to be repealed.
There viii no longer be an opportu-
nifty for United States marshals with
as many deputies as they please to
appoint, and a horde of supervisors all
drawing support from the national
treasury, interfering in elections and
usurping the authority which should
be exercised only by officers of state
appointment. The platform of the Dem
ocratic party demanded this change
and the repeal law is the outcome of
the popular outburst against the de-
feated Republican force bill.

famer of public men says SO, that the
gentlemen who are discussing these
tariff questions in Congress are igno-
rant Of the question. They have stud
led it for years in all it's bearings.
| When they are told that taking the
duty off foreign wool will cause Utah
wool TO bring but two cents a pound
in the market, they know that the
writer's of such stuff are either misin-
formed or want to deceive Congress.
When they hear such nonsense as that
removing the duty will bring western
sheep tenders on a level as to wages
with the Australian sheepherders. they
know better and the cause of those
who talk such nonsense is only dam
aged by such wild assertions.
Australian woods, and Argentine
woods and other kinds which have
been measurably shut out by the high
tariff intended to be prohibitory, are
of different class, grade and fibre
altogether to the territorial woods, and
Therefore the importation of the for
mer at cheap rate does not cause
competition with the latter, but will
increase a demand for it, the effects of
which will be felt when the factories
which obtain the foreign grades at a
low price increase their output in the
,,-,-- - 1,,.,-- = ,-or;l,od a75 +I,o x.,a~+
ern woods are wanted to mix with the
other kinds, in the production of vari-
Gus styles of fabrics which will then
be manufa atured in this country.
We do not claim that by this means
the domestic sheep growers will obtain
an exorbitant price for their wool We
contend that it will not have the dis
astrous effects foreshadowed. fair,
living price may be obtained for DO
nestle wool when foreign woods are adj
mitted free of duty And all grades
will be available to the manufacturer
as they are in England, which country
is able to export a considerable guam
fifty of it's own wool while importing
the woods of all the world
1t will certainly be for the benefit of
the American manufacturers to be
placed on the same basis as to raw ma
teriaIs as are the English manufac-
turers. And the tariff remaining on
the manufactured articles. though re-
duced, will be amply sufficient to cover
the difference in wages and leave a
margin of profit which can be reduced
by home competition. Unsettled CON
ditions are always demoralizing to
trade. These are but temporary We
shall soon be on stable ground. The
prosperity that will come will make
millions change their mind in favor
of free raw materials and a mod
crate tariff for purposes of revenue.

In Orlando, Florida, the planting Of
trees on the streets is encouraged by a
bonus Of fifty cents for each tree in good
condition after one years growth. The
work is. being done under an ordinance
passed two years ago. 1t provides that
the variety to be planted must be the
water oak, in size not less than two
inches in diameter at a point two feet
above the ground. The trees must be
rot less than ten feet in height, and
they are 10 be set out at stated tt1teS.zdis
tances apart and seven feet from the
street bound Of the adjacent lot
Thirty days after planting the trees
are inspected by z committee, and for
each one IL good condition, twenty-five
cents is paid in city warrants upon the
treasury. At the end of a year a sim
liar sun. is paid if the tree stiu
iourishes. Larger trees may be planted
by the property-owners. provided they
are uniform in size, but the city paws
no more for them. That is the right
kind Of q bonus or bounty. 1t is for
the public good. For that public
money may be legitimately appro-
priated. There rs vide difference be-
tween that and SslSiug public money
and giving it to a private enterprise.

Among the Democrats in Congress
who have special interests to fight for
on the tariff question is Mr.. Beltz-
hoover of Pennsylvania. In support
of his advocacy Of a. higher rate Oh pig
iron than is fixed by the Wilson bill,
he wrote a letter to the Philadelphia
Record. stating that he was elected on
the Mills bill, which proposed a rate
Of S6 on pig iron, and that he will be
governed accordingly. The Record re-
plies: THE Mills bin was not in issue
when you were elected TO Congress.
You were elected to help carry into
effect the promise of the Democratic
platform. You are not living up TO the
pledges made by the party. A rate of
Sc or $672 per ton on pig iron is 50
per cent rate. It is a prohibitive rate,
and not a revenue rate, and you know
it. Don't palter. don't equivocate. The
manly thing to do Fhen you cannot
keep faith with your principal is to re-
sign your agency"

the passage in the House Of the Va
rian bill for the taxation of mortgages
was somewhat of surprise. If it
should pass the Council the surprise
viii be still greater. 1t is not alto
gether a partisan measure, although
it was started in the campaign for the
legislative election. 1t is regarded by
our foremost fnanciers as a. bad bill
and we have seen no reason yet for
changing our opinion that it is not in
the interest of the borrower nor for
the general good of the territory.

OF course a bill has been introduced
FOR the removal of the capital of Utah
to Provo. And Of course it viii not be-
come a law. Even if it should pass
the Legislature it ought to be defeated.
And it will not reach beyond the COM
mittee room except by the pernicious
and unjustifiablee means of bargains
between members on different PROPOSE
tions. 1t is fitting that proposition
to move the capital should come from
Provo considering the kind of institu-
ton which casts its shadow on that
city.

CHEAP WOOL.

While our sheep men are complain
ing of the low price of wool and
not without reason, there is a side to
the question of cheap wool that IS not
to be disregarded Even under the
highest tariff ever afforded by what
is called protection, the wooden facto-
ries Of Utah could not operate with
financial success. One by one they
closed down, and their work people
were thrown out of employment.
The Provo wooden mills are running
now, paying the employees chiefly in
goods. Suppose wool brought in the
market its present price with the duty
on foreign wool added. Would the
Provo factory be able to continue?
Would not every wooden mandatory
in this territory have to close? 1t
is asserted that the very prospect of
free wool" brought down prices of
the raw material to their present
figures. If that is true and also that
actual free trade in wool will reduce
the price still lower, will not that be
of benefit to the factories, and by their
operation a benefit to the work people?
And is it not clear that with cheap
raw material, clothes, etc, may be
manufactured at lower prices than
with high priced material? And that
being true, will not the general public
the consumers-also be benefited by
that reduction?
If wool can be obtained by the manu-
facturers of the United States at much
lower rates than formerly, will not
that enable them all to produce their
goods at a less price? VIII not that
cause a greater demand through the
Increased sales? And will not that in
turn increase the demand for labor,
and thus give employment for those
who are idle or else increase the wages
|of those who are skilled, while COM
petition and a reduced tariff on the
manufactured articles will keep prices
reasonable to the consumer?
1t looks as though these are pro-
positions plain enough for any one to
understand And they do not need any
roundabout sophistical and misleading
arguments or illustrations to bolster
them up, either The reading public
should not be led away from the main
Question il relation to wool and
wooden goods, by party TRADES in
tended only to blind their eyes from
simple truths which they can readily
understand on little reflection.
There are some other facts which
the general public would do well to
reflect upon. The price Of domestic
wool has not been regulated altogether
by the tariff. Did Utah wool advance
when the duty on wool was increased
10y the Mckinley law? No, it de-
clire5a. Every wool grower knows
that to be fact. Whatever may be
still maintained as to the fear of free
trade" bringing down the price in 1898,
it is an indisputahle fact that neither
in 1892 nor 1891 did the Mckinley law
raise the price Of Utah wool in pro-
portion to the duty Nor has it ever
yet been demonstrated that shutting
out foreign woods has been real pro-
lection to the home wool grower
The kind OF wool raised in these
mountains is not imported from
abroad. That is a truth that ought to
find its way into the brains Of those
who get up memorials to Congress on.

a local merchant is his last and only
