THE PRESIDENT AND FINANCE.

The portion of the Presidents mes
sage which more than any other in
terests the masses of the people OF
this region, is that which relates to
the financial question. There will be
few outside of those who are interested
in the national banks. who will ap-
prove of the Presidents project to re-
tire the greenbacks and treasury
notes without any substitute in ma
amount from the money circulation
would cause a contraction which could
not fail to be disastrous to the masses
of the people.
If it could be supplied by free silver
coinage a very different view of the
matter would obtain. But the President
views such a policy with the alarm
that is common to most advocates of
the single gold standard. and he gives
what he and they consider are good
reasons for their fears.
The President talks Of free silver
coinage as "a rash experiment" 1t
would be perhaps "a violent change"
in our monetary system, but it can
scarcely be regarded as an expert
ment, in view of the fact that gold
and silver were freely coined without
limit or discrimination between the
Two metals. from the beginning of our
government down to 1873, and that the
decentralization Of silver was an 'ex-
pertinent" which two decades have
proved to be disastrous.
No one advocates what the President
calls "a blind and headlong plunge in
free coinage" Silver men ask for an
enlightened and steady return to real
bimetalligm, believing that when the
cause of the fail in the price of silver
which more correctly speaking is an
appreciation in the price of gold-is
fully removed. the effect will also be
remedied. Let silver be remonetized
and its market price will advance till
it reaches its coin value. For. it is not
likely that silver viii be sold in the
market for any price less than Its
value at the minis. if its free, costless
and unlimited coinage is assured.
There win then be no talk of cheap
money nor of an unstable standard"
The dollar viii be the standard of
value whether it be counted in silver
or in gold.
The President says: Twice in our
recent history we have signally failed
to raise by legislation the value of
silver" That is true But that is
no argument against the free coinage
of silver. Neither of the laws to which
he refers restored silver fully to its
former money status. The act OF 1878
provided for the purchase of limited
quantity of silver by the government.
to be coined. The act of 1890 provided
for the limited purchase Of silver, only
q part of which was TO be coined
They were experiments" and the last
was SO much worse than the first that
every sensible man Of each political
party wanted it repealed. But the

THE VOTE ON THE CONSTITUTION

The official count of the vote on the
Constitution of Utah shows a total of
SS,ss2; or 51.305 for, ard 1857 against
its adoption; that is a majority of
2S,61S in its favor. There is no doubt,
therefore, that the state constitution is
ratified by the votes of the people
The next step towards statehood is
the transmittance of the official report
of the result, with a copy of the Con-
stitution, to the President of the United
States. It Will then become his duty
to see whether the state Constitution
and government are republican in
FORM and whether all the provisions
OF the enabling act have been compiled
with. These being found satisfactory,
1t viii then be the duty of the Presi-
cert to issue his proclamation an
nouncing the result of the election.
Thereupon the State of Utah will be
deemed admitted into the Union on an
equal footing with the original States,
from and after the date of the procla-
nation.
We explain this, once more, because
there are many people, some of more
than common intelligence. who are yet
uninformed as to what is necessary to
complete the process of Utah's admis-
sion to statehood.
1t is impossible to say how soon or
how late the proclamation will be is
sued 1t viii take a few days to get
the report to the President. That ought
to be attended to by the Utah Commits.
sion without delay. We believe it will
there is no visible reason why it should
rot. The President, when officially
notified of the result, will probably sub
nit the document to the Attorney
General for his opinion as to the points
we have explained. When that is OBJ
tanned. we have every reason to be-
heve that the President will not post
pone his proclamation, but that he will
be found quite ready to do his part to-
wards completing the work of the
Democratic party in giving statehood
to the people of Utah. We look for the
boon as a New Years gift; it may
come a little sooner or a little later,
but we regard it as an assured fact
that is only question OF a little time.
We congratulate the great majority
of our citizens on the result of the cleo
ton. More votes than we anticipated
were cast against the adoption of the
Constitution, but they do not make a
formidable total, and we are of the
opinion that many of the dissentients
are now sorry that they recorded
themselves as against the liberties
which will come to the people by vir-
tue of free and sovereign statehood.
We hope that before long we will be
able to drop the word territory and
henceforth write OF The State o. Utah.
