WEALTH HAS ENRICHED
OTHER STATES.

Nevada has the smallest population OF
any state in the union. 1t is the only
state west of the Allegheny mountains
which has ever shown a record OF de-
creasing population. And yet perhaps,
no state could more easily devsiop. iIs
resources and swell the number OF us N
habitants. The greatest lack in Neyaud
in the lack of public spirit. 1t has peen
said so many times that the state y
worthless that q large majority or It's
people appear to believe it. The strang-
est thing about the whole matter ts tnat
everybody thinks the restoration OF ner
prosperity is to be secured only by the
revival Of the old mining activity, ara
yet anyone who takes this view must
shut his eyes TO facts written in leg10tS
characters upon every page of Nevada
history. Such prosperity as the mining
industry alone can confer upon state
Nevada has enjoyed beyond all other 10
calities. Did it mako her rich? NO. II
made her poor. Her wealth was steadily
drained TO build palaces in San Francisco,
New York and London, and to recruit
the waning fortunes of unworthy foreign
aristocrats The world needs both prec-
ious metals, but mining made Nevada
neither rich, nor populous, nor respected.
And yet Nevadans as a people see moth
ing in this world to hope for, or work
for, except the return of the good old
mining days. Nevada has built enough
palaces in distant cities. What she neeGS
now is to build humble houses by the
thousand in her beautiful valeys.-lrriga-
ton Age.

WORKS THE OTHER WAY.

The improvement in the wool market
finds no commentator, and indeed no
special mention, from our morning con-
temporary. 1t is so striking a contra
diction to its wild assertions and dole
/ full representations that it acts as a
paralyzer to our neighbor Why, to
hear the Tribune talk but a short
time ago, the wool industry was
Smashed" the sheep industry was
killed." and the wooden industries of
the country were ruined" through
Democratic tariff reform And the
triumph of the Trib. was complete in
| the phrase: I'VE told you sou
Everything has turned out exactly
the opposite of what our Republican
contemporary predicted. And it is too
paltry and dishonest not to acknowl-
edge its errors. If the Mckinley tariff
of eleven cents a pound acted as a
pr; @e-raiser on wool, how is it that
with the eleven cents duty in force,
Utah wool brought but from seven to
nine cents a pound, and that with the
eleven cents duty taken off entirely,
Utah wool is bringing ten cents
pound?
The thing works exactly the other
way to the Republican rule. On this
subject the Denver News has the fol-
lowing in pertinent editorial:
The condition of the wool market
cannot but be regarded as eminently
satisfactory. AS against no demand,
and merely nominal quotations last
year, territorial woods are now in brisk
demand at 10 cents for clean wool,
which is equal to 80 cents for secured.
The sales for June as far as reported
already exceed the sales for June, 1892,
by upwards of 5000, 900 pounds.
These are the facts which vindicate
the wool schedule in the Wilson tariff
bill. and put an end to the croakings
of the men who predicted the total ruin
of the wool-growing industry on the
repeal of the Mckinley act. With
prices advanced, and the sales of the
domestic staple largely exceeding the
sales of the imported article, the coun-
try can view with satisfaction the re-
turn to the more natural conditions of
trade and industry generated by the
Wilson bill.

NATURAL GAS EXHAUSTION.

The news from Indiana that the ma
tural gas supply appears to be peter
ing out will act as a caution to the
people of Salt Lake IN reference to the
natural gas prospects which have been
so alluring in this region. It will be a
great misfortune to the people of In
diana, rs well as to the companies
owning the gas wells in the state, if
the supply should, as feared, become
exhausted or SO small as to render
necessary some other means of OBJ
tanning fuel and light.
The people of Salt Lake City have
been holding themselves in readiness
to utilize the natural gas which was
said to be practically inexhaustible.
but have not yet become convinced
that what has been developed is likely
to prove permanent. Until further
guarantees are provided the situation
here will be one of waiting, if not of
expectancy.
There are complaints that while con-
tracts exist for the supply of arti-
fetal gas, natural gas IS substituted
without the consent of the users, and
that the latter is inferior to the
former for lighting purposes. However
the fact that it is being used for iIlu-
mination is something in its favor. 1t
may be that with further boring the
great natural reservoirs supposed to
be in the regions below the present
source will be tapped, and this city
will receive that supply for light and
fuel which is SO desirable. 1t would
be the making of the city. 1t would
open the way for many manufactures.
1t would do away with the smoke
nuisance. 1t would cheaper the cost
OF fire and illumination, and create a
boom the value of which would be
beyond computation.
With the present supply much more
progress is being made than is gener-
ally supposed. People using it for
light and fuel say that it is far cheap
er than anything else. 1t must be
borne in mind, too, that there can
never be draught upon the gas wells
here which will come anywhere near
comparing with those continual and
immense demands upon the Indiana
fields, described in the dispatches and
which amount to actual waste.
Just now there is lack of confidence
in relation to the extent of the local
deposits, and the tidings from Indiana
will serve to increase rather than re-
move it. We hope that better news
will yet be received, and we shall be
very glad to hail the coming forth of
that promised supply which for long
time has created hopes in the public
heart Of better times as a result of a
permanent supply of natural gas.

EUROPEAN ENCRoACHMENTS.

The aggression of Great Britain in
South America appears to have stimu-
lated the French to similar acts in the
same vicinity. England is claiming
that the boundary line of British
Guiana properly extends so as to take
N the mouths of the Orinoco river.
France, it is stated, is moving the
frontier line of French Guiana to-
wards the mouth of the Amazon river,
having occupied the territory of
Amapa.
There may be nothing seriously
wrong in either OF these movements,
but to the people of the United States
who view with jealous suspicion any
appearance of an intent to extend
European influence on the American
continent, there is enough in both
cases to excite alarm. The govern
ment of the United States has under
consideration the British movement in
Venezuela. Every step taken by Eng
land in that direction will be care
fully watched by the administration.
The same vigilance ought to be exer-
cised after the movements of the
French in Brazil.
Here is a proper field for the exer-
else and enforcement of the Monroe
doctrine. No European power must
be permitted to encroach upon a foot
of territory in North or South America
but that which legitimately comes
within it's possession or authority.
Nor must it be permitted to extend
the monarchical system in any way
upon American soil, or over its in
habitants who have not heretofore
been subject thereto.
The Herald is not in favor of hasty
action likely to cause a breach be-
tween the United States and any
foreign power. But when it comes to
an actual violation of the principles
embodied in the Monroe doctrine, The
Herald will be found on the side of
war if that be necessary to the preser-
walton of the liberties and the lands
of any of the republics established on
this western continent.

ABOUT DECENT, REPUBLICANS.

You should either cease being can
didate or you should resign the chair
manship of the Territorial Committee.
If you do not go out and ask the first
one hundred decent Republicans that
you meet what they think Of your
present position.
That Is what the Tribune says to
Chairman Crane. Does our contem-
poray in its spleen intend to openly
charge that in hunting up one hundred
decent Republicans, Mr.. Craze
would jostle UP against host of Re
publicans tanti-Tribune) who are not
"deceht?' Such an implied accusation
is indeed significant, and will in no
way tend to heal the breach between
the warning factions of it's party.
That is one of the great infrmities
of our neighbor down the street. No
body is decent" in it's estimation
who does not see things through its
green myopic spectacles or is unwill-
ing to hop as it shall pull the string.
Crane seem to have cut that cord
and that is why he is classed with the
indecent" faction. Only those are
counted as decent" who object to the
chairman's candidacy or to his contin-
uing as chairman of the Republican
territorial committee. But it is a mel
ancholy or a pleasing fact as different
people view it, but undoubtedly fact,
that the Tribune can no longer dictate
the party of which it is now mot an
organ" and has no terrors for those
who break away from its domination.
The passing of the Trib. is one of the
striking signs of the times and potent
evidences of the changed conditions

REPUBLICAN RESPONSIBILITY.

During the last Congress, when the
silver sentiment in the country was
not so evident as it is today and as
piring politicians were lulled into a
belief that the people could be put off
with another straddle, Tom Reed and
Senator Lodge gave utterance to the
thought that the cause of free silver
and protection should go hand in hand
together. 1t was proposed that the
tariff should be used as a lever to
force England and other gold coun-
tries into bimetallism, SO that the
United States could follow in their
footsteps. This idea, however, did hot
awaken much enthusiasm. and now
the western straddlers are dropping
the latter part and are saying they
will trade protection for the east for
free silver for the west. They profess
to be hopeful that the two will go on
together.
But the alliance is unnatural. Shrink
ing fear and manly courage cannot
tread the same path and reach the
same goal. A policy that teaches cow
hand with one that teaches fearless
ness in finance The very foundation
of the protective idea rests upon fear
of the power of England and other
European countries. The whole conten-
ton of the silver men, who demand
that the United States shall restore
bimetalllsm, rests on the claim that
the country is big enough and strong
enough to take care of itself, without
caring for the financial policy of any
other nation on the face of the earth
The Republican party must cast off
one or the other of these issues. Pro-
lection and gold recommendation are
merce freed from artificial restraint
can go hand in hand together The
former would teach the country cow
ardice and dependence; the latter
and independence.
Why is it that men are afraid to see
this country adopt it's own financial
policy? Why do they tremble at the
mention of Lombard street? Why is
it that, with a great majority of our
population processing faith in bimetal-
lism, there is yet a doubtful contest
to secure its adoption? Why do men
say they would like to see silver re-
stored, but they cannot vote for it I'M
til England acts? 1t is because a great
political party, in the interests of IA
vorite classes built up by great con-
cessions, has been using it's millions

,..rERNATIoNAL BIMETALL1sM.

1--WE do not ourselves believe that
such IN agreement is attainable. We
do MOI think that a common ratio can
be disentangled from the complica-
tions which entangle the bimetallic
question. What is more, even if such
a ratio could be fixed upon, we have
no idea it would prove enduring. In
the last analysis, the cost of produc-
ton would be the governing influence,
and that cost for either metal is sur
rounded by so many influences which
practically defy measurement that we
do not see how the relations of value
between silver and gold san be adj
justed, even approximately, in a
permanent way"
Such is the opinion of the Boston
Herald. All free coinage men were
primarily International bimetanists,
but having become convinced that an
International agreement is impossible,
at least without the prior action of
this country they have concluded to
work for independent bimetallism.
They arc convinced that the evils in
cidental to our present currency sys-
tenn arc Infinitely greater than any
possible injury that might result from
The restoration OF, silver to its historic
place

THERE IS a geographical versatility
among Republicans that no Democrat
can ever hope to react. For instance,
a California man aspires to be senator
from Utah; another eminent politician,
with all the outward appearances of
living in Salt Lake City, is asking the
support of the country districts as a
resident of a southern county; while it
is now rumored that a distinguished
jurist practicing law in this city as
pires to a nomination to the supreme
bench on the theory that he is still a
resident of a northern county.

THE SECRET SILVER SOCIETY.

The secret silver society which has
been organized in the east, with Sena-
tor Stewart at the head. looks like
mild sort of oathbound order. From
what has been disclosed it seems to be
exempt from some of the objections
which are urged against such organic
atoms. There appears to be no par
ticular bondage and no severe penal
ties in its rules and regulations. How
ever, it is not to be supposed that
every thing connected with it has
been made public.
The necessity for some energetic and
combined movement among the advo-
Gates of free silver coinage must be
apparent to all its friends. a separate
silver party which would draw from
the great national parties much of
their strength would not be by any
means good thing. But if the sill
yer men of all parties can be brought
to unity of purpose and action, with
the sole object in view of furthering
the cause of true bimetallism without
infraction of party ties, we believe
much can be accomplished in the right
direction.
Unless some decisive steps are taken
to carry on a vigorous silver propa-
ganda in the eastern states. it cannot
be reasonably expected that the silver
cause will triumph in the next cam
pafgn. The so-called sound money
movement is backed by wealth and
Influence and is being pushed with
determination and persistency that
silver men ought to emulate.
There have been some attempts at
organization and the raising of funds
to carry on the work of silver educa-
ton, but they appear in large de-
gree to be spasmodic. What is abso-
lutely needed is a combination of
effort among all the silver men of the
country, irrespective of party, but with
the distinct understanding that each
individual is at liberty to remain
within the lines of his own party and
is pledged to nothing outside of it ex-
cept the cause of silver.
Whether the society which has been
organized as secret order will fill
the bill, appears to us to be very

to teach the American people the doc
trine Of fear. Whenever an attempt
has been made to awaken a spirit of
independence, the name of the British
lion has been shaken in their faces and
that party has managed to impress
the great body of it's adherents with
that doctrine of fear. Now this same
doctrine is being used to bind the peo-
pie to gold recommendation. Should the
efforts prove successful, who can re-
lieve the Republican party from its
responsibility?

doubtful. At the same time we do
not wish to say anything to discour-
age it or any other sincere endeavor
to wage a warfare against gold mono
metallism and it's bold and determined
endeavors to dominate the world of
finance. But we see no necessity of
anything secret in the banding to-
gether of the friends of silver to meet
the enemy and gain victory for the
white metal The issue is plain, the
field is clear, and there is no need of
anything to be done but that which is
open and above board Anyhow, let
the struggle go on, secret or in the
