The Devils Bad Break.

"The devil once bargained for
the soul of a young man. The
devil agreed to furnish all the
money the young man could spend
and if he did not spend it as it
came in, his soul was to forfeit.
For several years the young man
managed to keep ahead of the game
by wine and fast horses, but finally
the fend sent him a tremendous
sum, which it seemed impossible
to get rid of, when the young man
at last resort started newspaper.
At the end of three months the
devil began to growl, at the end of
nine months the devil was furious,
and at the end of the year he was
broke. The paper went up but the
soul was saved. Exchange.

LITTLE WOODWORK IN HER.

What the Chins-Japan War Has Taught
American Naval Oficers.
The war between japan aud China
has taught the officers of the American
navy at least one new thing in the con-
struction of vessels, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner. There will be scarcely
any woodwork in the Oregon, that is
rapidly nearing completion at the
Union iron works. This is due to the
fact that there were more people killed
and injured in the naval battles in the
orient by flying wooden splinters than
by the bullets or exploding shells.
Most of the cruisers and battleships
that took part in the war were con-
structed with steel bulls, and all of
them were more or less protected
with heavy armor plates. The in
terror fittings and furnishings of
the quarters and the deck COW
erings, however, were Of wood.
When a shot pierced the hull of
vessel and tore through the wood in the
interior of the ship splinters were sent
flying in all directions. In most cases
the shot passed through the vessel
without injuring any of the crew, but
the shower of wooden splinters filed
the sick bay and kept the sailmaker
sewing up the dead in canvas sacks for
burial. On the battleship Oregon
practically no wood will be used. All
the bulkheads and partitions dividing
the rooms in the officers quarters are
to be of iron. No wood will be used on
the decks, but instead linoleum will be
cemented to the iron deck to prevent
slipping. All the doors will be of iron,
and all those leading to the decks will |
be made water tight.

THE RETURNING PROSPERITY.

Pig iron in Pittsburg has advanced
a dollar ton in the last three days
and is higher now than it has been at
any time since 1890. This advance is
the consequence of increased demand
and the increased demand is the con-
sequence of a general return of pros
perity. Ever since the days of the
Harrisburg convention iron has been
considered the great tombstone of the
country's prosperity. Such things are
encouraging and show that business
everywhere is reviving.
Equally good news comes from other
industries. The other day the Biglow
Carpet company, of Clinton, Mass,
notified all its employees that after
September 1 there would be a return
to the schedule of wages which exist
ed two years ago, when 10 per cent
cut was made. This will affect some
thousand people. 1t means that people
are buying carpets and are willing and
able to pay such prices as justify en-
ployers increasing the wages paid
their employees. Such facts as these
are bound to upset the system of the
ology sought to be established by the
calamity-hoWlers.

graphically described.
Having foretold the dangers from
Chinese competition in manufactures,
Mr.. Hunt had to deliver himself of his
views on silver. This seems to be a
sine qua non to every interview
nowadays. He delivered himself of his
views on silver in the following Ian
guage:
When we exchange one Of our sill
yer dollars for two Japanese yens, each
yen containing as much silver as the
dollar we gave in exchange for the
two, then we discover that it is not
the character of the metal we appre-
ciate, but the character of the govern
ment that gave to our own dollar its
reputation. In the long run, the
greatest sufferer, if the United States

rency to one of permanency and uni
versal value, because their profits are
largely the result Of chean <bor. made

This shows Mr.. Hunts great capacity
for mastering financial as well as eco
nomical questions. His views on the
one subject are as sound as the other.

INCREASING SUCCESS.

Senator German is reported as hav-
ing said in an interview at Saratoga:
'I believe firmly that the success of
the Democratic party will be even more
pronounced in 1896 than in the coming
elections Commenting on this. the
| Globe-Democrat says: There appears
to be something elusive in this re-
mark. The success might be far more
pronounced and still be inaudible in
the most delicate microphone'
The words of the Maryland Senator
are plain enough and direct enough.
There is nothing elusive about them.
He, as well as other prominent Demo-
Gratis who are able to make political
! forecast, expect that in the elections
of 1895 there will be a great change in
public expression of sentiment from
the verdict of 1894.
The masses of the people year ago
were deluded by the false cry of hard
tines as a consequence of Democratic
/ policy. They knew that trouble had
come upon the nation about the time
the Democratic party succeeded to the
administration of public affairs. The
Republicans told them it was caused
by the change. The party in power is
always blamed for existing evils. no
matter how little it may be responsible
for them. 1t has taken some time to
remove that false impression, but it is
passing away from the public mind.
People now perceive the folly of
blaming the party which was Just
coming into power for the conditions
which necessarily were the result OF
the bad legislation of their predeces-
sors. 1t has become clear to the sim
plest mind that effects cannot come
before their causes; that the harvest
does not precede the sowing of the
seed, and that the panic of 1893, with
all its attendant evils, was the nat
ural fruit of Republican planting.
While still in the fog through the
sophistries and falsehoods of RepubI-
can orators the voters of the country
in great majority cast their ballots, in
anger, at the last election. This year
their eyes are measurably opened to
the fraud perpetrated upon them and
the result Of that enlightenment will
be seen at the polls next November.
In 1885, however, the good effects of
Democratic legislation will be much
more widely appreciated than they are
at present. The people can see now
that under the beneficial influences of
tariff measure which it was pre-
dicted by the Republicans would bring
utter destruction upon the industries
OF the country. those industries are
actually full of life and vigor, and are
in UNNECESSARILY better condition than
they We're under the high tariff meas
ure known as the Mckinley law.
Next year those beneficial results
will be largely increased, and the con-
fide-ice of the people in the Demo-
era &c party will naturally increase in
the same ratio. Therefore, Senator
German was right in his belief that
the elections in 1896 will show much
more pronounced Democratic success
than the elections of the present year
will exhibit
Prosperity is shining upon the in
dustrial and business interests of the
United States. It is increasing as the
months go by. It is traceable to the

REPUBLICAN PLEDGES.

Utah Republicans, in their pubic
speeches and their platform resciu-
tions, profess to be very proud of their
party because of its fulfNment of party
pledges and its record in that particu-
lar. This suggests a little RETROSPECT
ton.
| In 1884 the Democratic party went
before the country on a tariff reform
platform, and the Republican party,
recognizing the satisfaction that eX-
listed with the tariff legislation for
which it was responsible. also made
promises of a reform in that direction.
Here is an extract from its platform
at that time:
''The Republican party pledges itself
to correct the inequalities of the tariff
and TO reduce the surplus, not by the
vicious and indiscriminate process of
horizontal reduction, but by such meth
DDS as will relieve the taxpayer with
out injuring the labor of the great
productive interests Of the country?
Were these pledges carried out? Not
at all. 1t is true that the Democratic
party succeeded at the election of that
year and therefore the Republicans
were not perhaps able to carry their
promises into effect, but they vehem-
emily opposed such reforms of the tar
if as were introduced by the Demo-
Gratis with a view "to correct the in
equalities of the tariff and to reduce
the surplus" And when in 1883 the
Republican party again succeeded to
power, instead of fulfilling it's pledges
Of tariff reform it went forward to fur
Their excuses, and in 1890 the mon
strous Mckinley law was enacted
which was the elimination Of the pro-
tective policy and imposed in many re-
spects the highest duties ever placed
upon some classes of foreign import.
That is how the Republican party
keeps its promises. There is not much
in that to which our Republican
friends in this territory can point
with pride"
Observe, the quotation we have made
from the Republican platform of 1884
recognizes both the existence of in
equalities in the tariff and of surplus
Of revenue, the consequence of the
pernicious system Of protection. And
because the country MAD become
aroused to the enormity of these evils,
the Republican party pledged itself to
their reform. Instead of attempting to
fulfill its promises. as soon as it gained
the power, having been hepled by the
protected corporations and monopolies,
it used that power to still further pile
up the burdens upon the taxpayer
which it had promised to remove, and
thus showed itself once more the
friend of the capitalists and the
enemy of the laIboring classes.
The people Of Utah should note we'll
these facts. They are of vital i'm
portance to them. The party which
calls for their support on the ground
of always having fulfilled its pledges"
is in reality a promise-breaker While
pretending to be the promoter of native
Industries, it is in truth simply the
protector Of the capitalist and the
money power, as against the interests
Of labor and all the industrial classes.
1t legislates for the few; it impover-
ishes the many. 1t builds up in GER
tain directions, but lays waste and
devastates in other and wider direc-
lions. It's legislation is a delusion, it's
policy is a fraud

A NEW DANGER To AMERICAN
MANUFACTURES.

From to 10 cents a day-these are
the wages paid to operatives in Chinese
cotton mills. The industries of the
| United States need protection, not from
Europe particularly, but from the re-
suits of cheap labor in the Orient
Should the ports of this country be
thrown open free to the oriental man
ufacturers, the producer of raw ma
terials would suffer alike with the
American manufacturer. Free trade
With China and Japan would be ruin
Gus to the United States. and anyone
who has watched the growth of indus
tries in the Orient will soon learn that
there is more to fear from the latter
than from all the countries in the old
world"
This is the opinion of Mr.. Lee Hunt,
gentleman who has recently re-
turned from China. Heretofore it has
been claimed by the protectionists, and
demonstrated to their own satisfaction.
that the great danger that threatened
the American laborer and manufac-
turer. was the pauper labor of Europe.
This danger having been shown to the
people to be myth, it has become
absolutely necessary to locate it anew.
And it has been located in far off
Cathay. When this danger shall
have been driven from it's lodgment in
China it will most likely take I'D it's
residence in the Congo Free State
near the sources of the great African
river. Dislodged from there, it will be
necessary for it to wander about the
world as Solathiel does.
Can any rational man believe that a
country that only pays from 5 to 10
cents day to its laborers Gf such is
really the case) is going to become
rival in the commercial world Of
nation noted for it's intelligence and
inventive genius? If the history of
civilization teaches anything it teaches
that reason and not brute force rules
the world in all things. The real pal
triness of China was shown in the re-
cent Chinese-Japanese war. That a
nation of such bathrooms in war can.
threaten danger to a nation n peaceful
pursuits is sheer nonsense. The great
commercial nations of this world are
the great fighting nations. To prove
this it is only necessary to name the
United States, England, Germany and
France.
Yet the very paper from which these
remarks of Mr.. Lee were taken, the
Chicago Times-H Herald, sees a great
danger to American industries in the
Orient, and it makes this absolutely
absurd statement:
Shanghai. China, will soon become
a manufacturing metropolis rivaling
Lowell, Mass, and Manchester, Eng
land"

MoRToN.s POOR JOKE.

The humor of the secretary of agri-
culture in paying off the free silver en-
coin is not quite up 70 that of some of
the performances of his predecessor,
Uncle Jerry Rusk, who once drove a
paper men over fire miles of country
road in Washington. but it is quite as
much lacking in point of dignity. The
very sensible criticism is made by one
of the employees who had been paid off
in silver coin that in order to be con-
s;stent the secretary should pay off in
gold coin all those employees in his de-
cred brethren might be paid off in water
melons. 1t is not likely that resorting to
either of these methods would contribute
much to the general enlightenment On the
financial question. Secretary Morton's
practical joking might appropriately be
dispensed with.-Boston Herald.
