The Present Hoarding Of Money.

There are Americans today who
have their money boarded merely be-
cause they are afraid to indulge in ex-
penditures which, during a period OF
redundant circulation, they regarded
as absolutely necessary to their daily
comfort. Repressing desires, they
have diminished or destroyed demand
in many lines OF goods, and yet an
active number OF citizens declare that
the depression is caused solely by an
inadequate per-capita circulation OF
money. Generally those citizens,
however, while talking OF a per-capita
circulation, are, no doubt, really
thinking about per-capita distritu-
ton. But in the distribution of
money each person can legitimately
get only so much as he can honestly
buy, either with a personal service or
an exchangeable property or COM
modify. 1t makes no difference how
plentiful the money supply may be
if one has no exchangeable service or
commodity to offer which other per-
sons desire to buy, he will get none OF
it. To illustrates: In community OF
1000 there may be found a aper-capita
circulation of $1OO. Investigation
however, proves that one citizen, has
$75, 900, another $4,000, and the
remaining 9Ss have only an average
of about SIS each. And yet effusive
statesmen, posing as the friends ol
he poor man, pathetically plead for

IMPORTANT LAND DECISION.
Furnished by W. D. Harland. Land Attorney
Washington, D. C.

A settler who has established his resi-
dence IN good faith does not forfeit his
rights Hereunder by a temporary alb
sence in the discharge of official duties,
nor is the right of transmutation dur
ing such absence affected thereby.
The rule that recognizes official duty
as an excuse for temporary absence
equally applicable whether the duty is
imposed by the appointing power or
by election.
The presumption as to the mineral
or agricultural character of a tract,
created by the return of the surveyor
general, does not preclude the asser-
tion of any right, or the proof OF the
facts as they really exist.

Wolves in Minneapolis.

Fred Pratt, a brother OF the mayor,
brought huge wolf skin and head to
the auditors Office at the court house
yesterday morning and secured the
SIS bounty allowed by law for the
killing of a female wolf within the
county. Mr.. Pratt saw a pair OF the
huge animals running over the snow in
Northeast Minneapolis, near New
Boston, some distance inside the city
limits. He succeeded in killing one
from a well directed shot, which took
effect in the neck OF the animal, but
the other escaped.

h Cost Sale and lasts but One Week

"You will be surprised to learn that
produce dealers are importing oats and
corn from Nebraska for the Utah
trade" said E. E. Rich of the Peoples
Forwarding company yesterday. This
is not caused by a shortage of the
crop in Utah, but by the action of the
Utah farmers in holding back their
product in hope of obtaining a better
market. We can get them to set no
prices on their corn and oats. They
will not sell it, but are storing it, only
letting little go once in a while when
they are compelled to do 50 to keep
themselves alive.
L cannot blame the farmers partic-
ularly for this condition, because prices
are down to a terrible figure. Last
year our farmers adopted the plan of
storing their products and it was 4
success, as they afterwards obtained
very good prices. But this year con-
ditions are different, and l am afraid
it will do them no good. In Iowa, Kan
sas and Nebraska the crops this year
have been simply immense. The crops
of corn and oats reach into the billions
of bushels, and prices have gone out
of sight. Think of it, oats being
sold at and II cents, and corn is
down to Is cents in some parts of that
region. Part of the corn crop this year
will be used for fuel.
"Of course we must keep the home
market in shape, and if we cannot get
the supply at home we must send for it
to the states where it is plentiful. We
are making arrangements for some
good shipments.
1.-THE market for potatoes is unus-
ually poor. All through the east there
has been a great crop, and from re-
ports it is evident that there are many
places where they will not be dug from
the ground, but be allowed to waste.
None are being shipped from Utah, as
there is no demand. There is not
enough home market for our own po-
tatoes, and therefore the outlook is not
very brilliant"
The information given by Mr. Rich
accords with that given by the rail-
road people. who generally handle the
from this territory. They
say that the outgoing cereals and tu-
bers have seldom been SO small in
quantity. However, there has been a
good demand for the southern dried
fruit this year.
The spraying law has done a great
deal of good this year, so far as the
interest is concerned. Here
tofore it has been almost impossible to
find an outside market for Utah fruits
on account of its worminess. But with
the killing of the codling moth there
has been a revival in the industry, and
it now looks as though a few years Of
spraying will result in the upbuilding
Of a great fruit trade for Utah.

CHEAP CALIFORNIA SUGAR.
An Inferior Brand Being Brought
Into Competition With the Lehi
Product.

The question of support of home In
dustries is about to be revived over
the familiar subject of sugar. Inside
parties declare that an attempt will
be made to awaken the sentiment of
the people again on this subject, as
there has sprung up somewhat dam
aging contest between the California
sugars and the Lehi product.
The sugar factory so far this season
has turned out very large supply.
But it has found some difficulty in dis
posing of its output so far because the
California factories, not having sue
ceeded in competing on a fair field
with as good sugar. has begun send
ing in an inferior brand and under
selling the Lehi works 10 cents per
sack. This brand is not nearly so
pure. A sack of the Lehi sugar will
90 much farther and is really cheaper.
Yet this California brand is having a
large sale.
With the additional output of the
sugar factory comes up the injustice
done to this territory by the railroads.
Their rates are so much against Salt
Lake that the California manufacture
ers can ship in over their heads and
best them in the race.

lord SALESBURY'S CLAIM.
Senator Morgan Places Himself
Upon Record in No Uncertain
Terms.

LIVINGSTON, Ala, Nov. 14.-Sena-
tor John T. Morgan, in an interview
with a correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press in regard to Lord Sails
bury's claim that Senator Morgan
objection to the payment of the Boring
sea claim is based on a nlisapprehen-
sion of the facts, said: II have not
seen the dispatch to which attention
is called, but it is impossible that l
could be mistaken in facts which stand
opposed to demands of Great Britain
for $425,000 damages for seizure of fish
ing vessels arrested in Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration. The Boring sea
tribunal, of which I was a member.
had no authority to decide any contro-
versy between the United States and
Great Britain, that led to questions of
damages or the liability of either gov
eminent to the other for damages for
seizures of ships, and they made no
such decision. but expressly declined
to do SO.
after very rough examination of
the facts presented in the case of the
two governments supported on either
side by the testimony of more than
1000 witnesses and the entire diplo-
matte corps of the government on this
subject, and, after listening to the
great lawyers who appeared before the
tribunal, four on each side. and
which occupied more than four months
at the time, it is not likely that any
member of that tribunal was less in
formed than Lord Salisbury as to the
facts in the case His lordShip doubt
less supposes that his information of
the facts in this case is superior to
mine, otherwise he would not attribute
to me the grave error of a mistaken
of the facts. Evidently he

the sum claimed as damages, if this

GILLESPIE ON HIS EAR.
But the Record Shows That No In
Justice was Done Him.

Moroni Gillespie held up a reporter
for this paper yesterday and covered
him with rich coating of up-to-date
BillinSsgate. He said he had been
lied about AMI lied about to a stand
still. The reporter finally gathered
that Moroni took exceptions to the re-
port of Wednesdays proceedings in
the Donovan case, in which he CMo-
ronD is alleged to have said that he
had a right to give his photograph TO
every prostitute in town if he wanted
to, and it was nobody's business. The
reporter meekly protested that was the
way he understood it, whereupon Mo-
ro1i called him C d liar" and
followed it up with several other ref
erences to the Trinity and scathing
rebukes of the reporter
For the benefit of officer Gillespie a
transcript of his testimony was OBJ
tanned from the official reporter andis
herewith given in full. 1t will be seen
that it fully corroborates the report
as contained in The Herald:

counsel said the reason she was not
brought on was that Mcdonald did
not claim he saw Ford's picture, and
therefore she could have proved
nothing
On the witness-stand Donovan
claimed he was trying to shield Ford,
In the face of his letter of July 80 in
which he writes for all particulars
that might implicaIe him. This matter
of the anonymous letter is very i'm
portant, and if Donovan suppressed it
he ought not to be an officer any long
er in the department. His excuse for
keeping back the letter from Chief
Pratt is absolutely foolish. He said
he feared Pratt was putting up job
on him, but on the witness-stand he
admitted he soon became disabused CT
that idea. and afterwards had ample
time to show the letter had he so de-
sired. Donovan's acts should be con-
sidered and not his alleged intentions.
This matter of keeping back an i'm
portant letter is a very grave one and
places Donovan in very serious po-
s;tion.
This concluded Mr. Sutherland's ar
gument ana the trial was over. The
decision of the board will probably be
handed to the mayor today.

The Strike on the Great Northern is

dent Of the Great Northern Railroad
company, in an interview, says:
'"The strike on tho Great Northern is

their grievances to the proper authori-
ties and that these would then be care
fully considered. They seem to have been

echo .t13, of the Debs strike of last year:
The railroad business is good. While
I do not look for heavy increase 1
believe that the business will continue
on its present excellent basis The trouble
with the farmers is, that while crops
have been heavy, prices have been low
and they cannot purchase with the grain
the amount of manufactured articles
which they would like to- The country
along the line of the road, however, is
rapidly filling up with settlers, more
mouths will have to be fed and more
farming implements will be bought, so
that the local traffic will be proportions
ately swelled.
''The welfare of the road is not at all
affected by the question of the receiv-
ership of the Northern Pacific railroad.
The agreement between the two roads
can be carried through if desired 1t is
not matter of vital importance to the
Great Northern. Our road is doing well
enough by itself"
