blankets can put their goods on the
market at greatly reduced prices. This
means an increased demand for the
manufactured article. That will
cause an increased demand for
the farmers wool, and an in
creased output of goods means more
employment for labor Consumers will
be able to secure their clothing at less
cost and there will be less shoddy in
them, and under the new law there is no
excuse for the reduction of the price of
labor.
Governor Flower, of New York, says
that in his opinion, free wool with do
the same for the wool industry that
free hides accomplished for leather
manufactures. Over twenty years ago,
hides were placed on the free list and
the boot and shoe industry has con-
stantly prosperad. Our shoes are the
best and cheapest made in the world.
The product of our factories reaches
hundreds of millions of dollars annual
ly. Instead of depending on Europe as
we do for a large part OF our woolens,
we supply practically the entire home
demand and under favorable trade con-
ditions we could dominate the markets
of the world.
THE REVIVAL IN TRADE.
The new tariff law is already having
its effect. The acknowledgements are
beginning to be covered with &confu-
sion. The bank clearances, which is
the great trade barometer, shows a
steady and wonderful increase. The
clearances at Salt Lake city, one of the
most prosperous cities in the land, have
increased rs per cent Wool is appreci-
ating in value and wooden and carpet
mills which were closed by the McKin-
ley act are again opening for work. A
genuine healthy business revival has
begun. The treasury officials have been
surprised at the demand for small bills,
and, they say, THE demand is so
great that some banks are
glad to take silver dollars" This I'M

movement is not confined to one local

Wool is growing longer on the sheep.
Iron mills are opening. Furniture fac
tories, stimulated by free lumber are
running extra time, and wages in wool
en- mills, which were reduced under the
Mckinley law, are being restored. The

RAWLINS FOR CONGRESS.
The Democratic party has a just
claim for your votes, if from no other
reason than it has renominated Joseph
L. Rawlins for Congress. Too much
cannot be said in his favor I might
eulogize him with the most eloquent
words at my command and would yet
fall short of melting out to
him the praise which is his
due. The whole people of Utah,
without regard to church or par
ty, owe him more than they can repay.
We claim to be a just people but, if
he should be defeated. it would show
to the whole country that we know not
how to be grateful. If it had NOT been
for him, the Colorado Utes would
have been forced upon us in

driven from their homes. If it had NOT
