THE Ep1roR,s CONVENTION.

The Utah Press association, DESTROYS of
promoting better acquaintance among
the western newspaper men, and of ad-
vancing their mutual interests. has ar
ranged to hold convention of editors
from the states west of the Missouri
river, at Salt Lake City, Aug. u and Is
next. The plan has grown with age. hay
ing enterprisng men behind it, and the
convention promises to be the largest and
most important meeting of the kind ever
held in the west.
It is proposed to discuss libel laws
and other matters of peculiar interest
to the editorial department Of neWspa-
pers, and doubtless great good will re-
suit It is probable that a press fedora
ton will be formed But pleasure will be
combined with business, and the editors
are certain to have a grand, good time.
a complimentary concert will be ten
dered. 1t will be given in the celebrated
Mormon tabernacle ard will be partlcl-
pated in by the famous choir and num-
Der of the leading musicians of the city.
A banquet and ball will be given over
the waters of the great inland sea, IN
the largest bathing resort pavilion IN the
world.
The Utah Press association is working
very hard to make the convention a sue

very large attendance. Secretary A. =:

DEMOCRATS AND HOME MANUFAC-
TURING.

Il
Does the matchmaker find it profita-
BILE to make his own shoes? Does the
blacksmith attempt to make his table
and cupboard? Does the farmer at
tempt to grow timothy hay on land
without water? Does the Woods Cross
fruit raiser waste his time in a futile
effort to grow oranges?
No. Why? 1t wont pay. Why wont
it pay? Does home manufacturing not
always pay? Not much 1t pays, when
| it pays; and when it don't pay, it don't
pay. 1t don't pay to make things when
you can buy them cheaper. The watch
maker can earn ten pairs of good shoes
while making one pair of poor ones.
The Utah farmer can buy a carload Of
oranges at less cost than he can raise
a single orange. If one individual can't
do these things and make them pay,
two can't, nor can ten, nor can city
full. nor all the people in state or
nation. The sure sign that an indus
try cannot pay is the fact that it can
not stand upon its own feet in open
competition with other producers but
must be assisted by other paying insti-
.utions
Therefore, say the Democrats, the
nation should not be so foolish as to
do that which the individual cannot do.
Nor should it be SO unjust. AS well
might a bulldozer come around to the
farmer with a shot gun and demand
SO, to give to the owner of a town
creamery, on the plea that labor is
thereby created and the general pros
perity promoted, as for the tax ga therer
to make that farmer pay a tax to be
given to that creamery with the GER
tainty of being sold out for delinquency
should ne refuse. Therefore, say the
Democrats, a bounty and a protective
tariff are both financial mistakes and
class-serving and unconstitutional de-
vices.
And these considera tons suggest the
point Of view from which Democrats
look at home manufacturing Are they
opposed to it? Certainly not. They
welcome every new industry that will
add to the wealth of the community
being interested in the prosperity Of
the country as much as any other work.
ing or property owning class they are
necessarily anxious for growth and de-
velopment. But they do say that an
industry that is a self-confessed failure,
that in order to exist must take a
sheep or two from the sheepman, a
calf from the cattleman, a bushel of
wheat from the farmer, a days pay
from the clerk, a mite from the widow
and contribution from every other
member of the community, who may
have a hard struggle himself for exist
ence, in order to return to the manu-
facturer interest on his investment, is
the kind of a business that any short
sighted man, who is anxious to get rid
Of his money. should be permitted to
conduct if he choose, but which the
state has no right to compel the rest of
the people to support.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

The Democratic county committee
has issued its call for county conven-
ton for the purpose of electing 157 dele
gates to the Democratic territorial con-
vention to be held in Ogden, THURSDAY
September 5. 1895. The call suggests
that primaries should be held not later
than the 10Th inst 1t is very important

Of the matter Immediately and issue
their notices of the time and place of

delay.
The county convention will not only
have to elect delegates to the Ogden
convention but also nominate five can
didates for state senators from the
Sixth senatorial district and ten state
representatives for the Eighth repre-
sentative district. It will also name
delegates to attend the Third judicial
district convention, comprising Summit,
Salt Lake and Tooele counties, to be
held at Salt Lake City, Saturday, Sep
TENDER IA, 1895, for the purpose of nom
mating three district judges.
The committee did wisely in deciding
not to take any action in reference to

..THE WORLDS DUMPING GRouND.o

Democrats told US that under tariff
reform we would have the markets of
the world And so we have. They are
literally pouring in upon us. We are
likely to be the worlds dumping
ground"
So says the Chicago Inter-Ocean. 1t
would be very good thing for the
United States TO become the dumping
ground for the worlds goods and
manufactures for it would show that
the United States were able to con-
sumo and pay for more goods and
manufactures than all the world be-
sides. That the world will ever give US
its products is not to be expected,
though protectionists would see
great danger to American worBmen's
interests in such proceeding, for they
seem to hold the theory that in the
struggle for existence and the good
things of this world there is more pleas
ure in pursuit than in possession.
1t never seems to dawn upon the
mind of the protectionist that this
matter of international trade is
thing that works both ways. If it
takes two to make quarrel it like
wise takes two to make a trade, and
if Europe and all the world are using
the United States for q dumping
ground the United States are doing the
same with Europe and the world. For
all the goods and merchandise that are
dumped" upon our shores this
country is paying either in cash or in
kind. This foreign trade, this year,
amounts to hundreds Of millions UP to
this time, While the exports and i'm
ports Of gold from January 1, 1895, up
to Monday. August 10, 1895, stand as
follows:
Exports of gold $40. 4e3. 1874
Imports of gold ............... q 76O 49,
Net exports ........................$20 $50, 702 999
This amount of gold is not sufficient
to pay for the imports of merchandise.
so they must have been paid for by our
surplus products. It all shows that
the old prosperity viii soon be back in
all its glory. If a large foreign trade
is good then the larger the better. The
condition of things that the Inter
Ocean so sneeringly deprecates is to be
hailed with satisfaction rather than
mourned over. But some people are
never happy unless they are miserable
and such is the condition of the pro-
tectionist calaInity-howler.

sovERnIGN,s BANK NOTE BoYcorr


III. B. Martin, of Minneapolis, member
of the executive board of the Knights
of Labor, declares that his order is in
dead earnest in it's intention to boycott
national bank notes. The Inauguration
is to be on September 2, Labor Day.
After that day, Mr.. Martin says that
the Knights and their friends, and in
cidentally their sisters and their cous-
ms and their aunts, are requested to
refuse to take bank notes for any obli-
cation due them.
. Workingmen, when banded together
in labor organizations. are sometimes
very headstrong and stand in their own
light, but to assume that they will at
anybody's request refuse to take money
that everybody else takes and the only
complaint against which they have is
that they do not get enough of it, is
to assume that workingmen are abso-
lutte fools. That a man has a right to
demand legal tender in payment of
legal debt no one will deny, but the
man who is dependent on his own labor
Tor his living and that of his family
will not find his services to be in de-
mand anywhere after he himself shall
nave once or twice refused to accept
national bank notes in payment of his
wages. Such a man will find that he
has all the time he can possibly desire
to study the financial question and
have some left to devote to the enlight-
eminent of his fellow-men on the folly
and iniquity of the national bank sys-
tenn. And any conclusion he may come
to should receive the kighest consider
alton for who will have had a better
chance to indulge in plain living and
high thinking?
Mr.. Martin says the knights expect
the support of the silver men. They
will not get it. One of the strongest
arguments that the silver men have is
the act of 1873 demonetizing silver re-
duced the volume of money one-half,
Yet the Knights are recommended by
MI Sovereign, their Grand Master
Workman, to, in effect, still further re-
duce an already inadequate volume of
currency. To do SO would be to cut off
the nose to spite the face.
Could the workingmen be asked to
commit a greater folly than to refuse
to take currency that is accepted
throughout the whole country, the
soundness of which has never been
questioned? Some may do it, but they
will very soon sicken of it. Grand Mas
ter Workman Sovereign may mean well
but he advises badly.

THE NATIONS MILITIA FORCE.

The number of citizens in the United
States liable to military duty is 9,945, O43
But that would all count for little in case
OF war as was shown in the recent Chi

men who are trained and equipped that
counts in such a case. And that number
on paper is LA, LIS in the United States,
and in reality only about $4,000 outside
of the regular army.
This small militia force is due to the
niggardl!ness of Congress, as well as of
certain states. The entire annual appro-
priation by Congress for the militia force
of the country is only $1,000 But New
York state alone appropriates the same
amount to her J2,S46 militia, while Penn
