JINGo REPUBLICANIsM.

OF course the lingo element of the
Republican party has seized the late
outbreak in Hawaii as a text upon
which ito criticize the administration
and clamor for annexation.
The plea that the United States
Should acquire those islands as a. meas
ure of protection to our western coast,
is an argument which in turn will
render Samoa necessary as a further
outpost towards the Orient, and Cuba
as Indispensable to our southeastern
states; and thus will our country, al
ready large enough, launch out on a.
career of empire building which will
involve us in never ceasfng strife and
hostilfties.

omission and commission to answer for.

FOR CHEAPER COAL.

One of the subjects discussed in the
very comprehensive report of the
Chamber of Commerce, is the reduction
Of the price of coal. The welfare of
Salt Lake City and the territory gen
orally would be much promoted should
further and just concessions be granted
in the price of that Indispensable ar
ticle.
Scientific authority estimates that
Utah contains enough coal to supply
the United States for at least a thou
sand years. Our neighboring states,
Wyoming and Colorado are not less
endowed with this necessary product.
Coal is mined at numbers OF places
along the Union Pacific and Rio
Grade railways. 1t is mined al an ex-
pense SO far as labor is concerned OF
from sixty to eighty cents per ton. The
varieties in chief use in this city are
obtained at coai1ields distant from forty
five to two hundred and thirty miles,
and are transported almost without ex-
Iception on down grades. There ap-
pears to be no good reason why lump
coal should not be sold and delivered
in retail quantities in Salt Lake and
vicinity at less than four dollars per
ton, and in large quantities at less than
three.
Such a reduction in rates could be
instantly secured if combinations be-
tween railways TO keep UP their tar
ifs and between the mine owners to
maintain old time prices were to be
swept away. Railroads have acted in
the matter of coal as they have on the
subject Of freights generally. They
have persistently charged the highest
possible rate for freight in order that
their immediate revenues might be
swelled, and at the sacrifice of the
permanent development of the country.
For years we have been paying higher
rates on local consignments from Mis-
souri, River points than are paid by
Californians. For years we have been
compelled to stand helplessly by and
permit the Union Pacific to build up
| Nebraska at the sacrifice of Utah on
the plea of the '1ong haul" Such a
policy should be instantly abandoned.
It is dictated not by broad manage
ment and a statesmanlike regard for
the best interests Of the road, but is
the illgotten offspring of a desire, ma
tural enough perhaps, on the part OF
the management for the time being to
make the best possible financial show
ing. The rule adopted is to akeAship-
pers pay the utmost farthing they can
pay without destroying their business
A wiser plan would be to encourage in
dustries and jobbing by granting living
rates.
So far as cheap coal is concerned, ii
is obvious that fair rates would-cause
industries to be established and de.
veloped here which are now impossible
and would make living cheaper-would
in short develop our basin cities ano
make Of Salt Lake the manufacturing
centre Of the west. The segregation
of the Union Pacific will do much t.
bring about this desideratum.
