a MODERN MIRACLE.

Mrs. Hopcroft Blind for Six Months Re-
gains Her Sight, AS She CIpimp, Through
Prayer.
lt has been said that the days of mir.
acles have passed, but an incident that
savors very much of biblical times was
performed in Roanoke yesterday norm
ing. Mrs. Matilda Hopcroft, an aged
lady, who lives over Brugh's grocery
store, on Jefferson street, has been
blind for the past six months. Yester-
day morning her sight was restored and
she claims that it was in answer to the
fervent prayers she has offered up
Several Of tho ladies of the Union
Benevolent Society became interested
in Mrs. Hopcroft's case some time ago,
and ell visited her to-day and listened
to her story. When TIMES represen.
tativo called two Of the officers of the
society were present To tho reporter
Mrs Hopcroft told the following story:
For the past six months nay sight
has failed me entirely. | have always
felt that it would be restored some
day and last night about IL o'clock |
commenced to pray earnest to be able
to soc again. This morning between q
and $50 o'clock | commenced to see
objects in tho room. At first every
thing appeared hazY, but gradually this
wore off and by noon my sight was
fully restored. can not only discern
forms, but can distinguish colors An
other strange thing is that for some
time have been unable to walk across
the room without tottering and falling,
but now | can walk all right. This
certainly is direct answer to my
prayers
In confederation of her statement Mrs.
III opcroft told The color OF the reporters
eye and also walked around the room.
When sne discovered that hor sight had
returned sho asked for a Bible and one
of the ladies handed it to her BY
strange coincidence she immediately
turned to the passage which described
tho miracle Of the Lord curing the
blind.
Mrs. Hopcroft is overjoyed at the
blessing which has come to her and re-
quested that q minister be sent to her
and Rev. R. G. Anderson. pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church, called
yesterday afternoon and listened to her
wonderful story.

POTTERY AND THE TARIFF.

Republican papers are repeating the
old story about the ruination Of the pot
terry business by the change in the
tariff A dispatch sent from Trenton,
New Jersey, has been copied by several
papers as a sign of the terrible effects
of tariff reform. Here it is:
THE passage of the bill has brought
business at the big potteries here al
most to a standstill They started up
here after being closed for two years.
The start was made on the promise of
Senator Smith that the rate provided
for in the bill would be increased be-
fore the bill went to the president for
his signature. This morning orders
were issued to finish up all the work on
hand and to begin no new pieces"
Now, observe that 'fthe big potter
les" were closed more than two years
ago. That was under the full blast of
McKinleyism What was the matter
then? Why. the wages Of the potters
were cut down and they went out on a
strike. Reference to newspaper files of
the past three or four years will show
that Mckinley raised the protection
by per cent, and the blow was so
deadly that the bosses went home
and reduced wages % per cent.
Then about eleven months ago they
found that they were ruined again,
and reduced wages 30 per cent more.
The operatives struck, and remained
idle, while the manufacturers in the
Trust were working off their stocks at
monopoly prices, until last July, when
a solemn agreement was signed be-
tween men and masters that reduc-
ton of 1919 per cent in wages should
go into effect for twelve months from
July II. 1894.
There was no consideration in this
about tariff changes. They were not
mentioned. But now it is asserted by
one pottery man that there was a pri-
vate understanding with Senator Smith
that the duties on pottery were to be
showed up AS that failed, of course
the potteries are ruined again." Smith
couldn't deliver the goods and now
there is an excuse for another cut in
wages.
There will be all kinds of wild ru-
mors about ruin and disaster through
the tariff BILL But at the same time it
VIII be contended that the bill now
become law is, after all, '.consid-

THE FIGURES IN THE CASE.

An irresponsible adventurer, who is
as ignorant as he is reckless and I'M
truthful, is stumping the territory for
the Republican party. Sometimes his
assertions, which are as transparent
as his cognomen, are challenged by his
hearers, or he is questioned so as to
let people see through them He is
never unabashed, because he does not
hesitate to manufacture on the spot
a theory or an alleged fact to suit his
ends.
In recent report of some of his say
ings a Republican paper boasts that he
could not be "stumped." AS a sample
of his assurance and readiness to say
anything that answered his purpose, it
was stated that when asked what Har-
rison did with the hundred millions
left by Cleveland in the treasury when
he vacated the presidential chair in
1889, he responded by saying that Har-
rison used it to pay debts that Cleve-
land created or left. Also that he re-
marked, if Cleveland had paid off pub
lie debts as he should have done there
would have been no money left in the
treasury for Harrison to pay them with
The impression was left or intended
to be conveyed. khat during Cleveland
former administration he increased the
public debt, leaving it for Republican
administration to pay. Let us see how
much there is in that:
The Statistical Abstract of the United
States, prepared by the Bureau of Sta
tstics under Harrison's administration.
gives the details of the principal and
interest of the public debt of the
United States on July of each year.
From this we find that the public debt
on July 1, 1885, the year Cleveland as
sumed the presidency, was 81, 196, 150, $50.
On July 1, 1889, the year he left office,
it was but 1929, $50, 800 This shows a re-
duction of the debt in the sum of $685.
296,96O during Cleveland's administra-
ton. The annual interest charge was
reduced during that time from $47,C14.-
133 to $33, 1928 That is it was brought
down s1S, 261, 779
These figures are official. They are
not fabricated. Put them against the
fictions which that charlatan is dealing
out and they will settle his transpa-
rency in good shape.

would have carried, and the Sugar
Trust would have. had no protection"
at all. The vote stood "a to 35 and if
Senator Quay had voted on the side of
striking out it would have prevailed,
the law would have had in it nothing
for the Trust and would have been
more acceptable to the President and
the country.
The Chief of the Sugar Trust adj
mitted in his testimony on the subject
that the benefits of the protection in
the Mckinley law were equivalent to
three-eights of "a cent per found, as
compared with the differentfal of one
eighth of cent per pound, under the
new bill. Also that the profits of the
Trust during the three years of Nc
Kinley protection were from thirty to
thirty-f1ve millions of dollarsl
Republicans screeching about the
benefits to the Sugar Trust under the
new tariff law, is very much like a.
highwayman running with the crowd
and crying4'Stop thiefp And one
sweet thing they have never yet been
able to explain is why, if taking the
duty off sugar cheapened that article
to the consumer, taking the duty off
other articles of common consumption
will not also cheaper them. The whole
sugar position of the Republicans is an
inconsistency,

REPuBLICANs AND SUGAR.

If there is anything which the Re-
publican stump orators and party
organs ought to keep quiet about, but
which they are continually harping
upon, it IS the sugar business and the
tariff. How did there happen to be a
sugar Trust? Was it not the very Off
spring of protectionism? Was. it not
fed and fattened under the Mckinley
law? And is not the power it has
exhibited in recent legislation what it
had gained by the millions it accumu-
lated under the Republican tariff which
gave it birth2
Another point: Republicans are talk
ing to country folks about the wealth
that will be gained by this sugar Trust,
which their legislation created and
fostered through the differential duty
which has been made a feature of the
new tariff bill. Well. Senator Aldrich.
who is an acknowledged authority ON
the Republican side has estimated that
the entire protection which the
Trust will gain under the present law
is 421s cents per hundred, while the
protection it enjoyed under the Nc
Kinley law was 60 cents per hundred.
Let it not be forgotten in this con-
nection that the Republicans who
strained every nerve to retain the Me-
kinley monstrosity, and who even now
talk of agitation to revive it, would if
they had the power give that same
Sugar Trust the 60 cents a hundred
instead of the 421k cents which they
are now finding fault with.
There is one more item which our
friends should understand. in meeting
those dishonest politicians. 1t is that,
had it not been for Senator Quay, the
Republican friend of the trusts and
corporations, the amendment of Mr..
Kyle for the striking out of the differ
entail of one eighth of a cent duty
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-08-31

cradle measure of protection" 1t
doesn't matter to the average Repub-
lican campaigner how much he may
contradict himself.
The pottery business, like others gov
erned by trust, shows that an adj
vance in tariff duties does not mean an
advance in wages to the laborer, just
as it has been demonstrated that an
advance in the tariff on raw materials,
such as wool and lead, does not mean
an advance or even the maintenance of
prices for the home product. And all
the cries about ruin to this industry
and disaster to that, are as great a
fraud as is Republican protection
which they are designed to support.

MUNICIPAL EXPENDITURES.

The expenditures of the city continue
to exceed the income by some thou
sands of dollars per month. If this
continues there can be but one result
bankruptcy. 1t will be very hard
matter for the city to re-establish its
credit if it is. ever allowed to be lost
The city cannot suffer financial dis
credit without all her citizens suffering
more or less.
1t was stated recently by Councilman
Clawson that various departments were
not making their expenses conform to
their allowances. This should not be
and it is the duty of the Council to see
that they do make their allowance
if there can be any further retrenoh-
ment it should be made. The solicitude
of many of the city employees is the
|solicitude of place-holders and nothing
else. The first solicitude of all should
be the welfare of the city, and it can
be best shown by the city fathers by
reducing all outgoes to a minimum.
Utah is soon to be a. state, and this
city is the chief point of interest and
the one that will attract capital and
people first. But a beautiful location
land grand vistas are not the sole in
ducements that will bring population.
The resources of the city and it's debt
will have great weight. If its resources
are exhausted and its debt at the limit
the attractions and facilities of other
towns will be looked up and what would
otherwise come to Salt Lake may go
elsewhere. This will not happen off the
finances of our city are SO managed
that we can show a surplus of income
over expenses, thereby proving the
capacity Of her citizens to carry the
burdens they have created.
When Salt Lake had her great boom
the argument that had most weight
with those who came here to make
their homes was the fact that there
was no municipal Indebtedness to speak
of. All the other things that drew peo-
pie then are here to draw them again,
and some things in addition, notably
an unsurpassed. school system.
This city can easily bear her burdens
if they are not allowed to grow too
great, and they will not if the City
fathers will, to use a common express
sion, cut their coat according to their
