just as has been the case throughout
all the western mining regions.
The change in our mining conditions
here noted will no doubt be beneficial
so far as gold interests are concerned,
but everybody wishes to see the silver
mining industry restored to its normal
condition.
Perhaps there is not much to be re-
GREETED that the days of the promotion
of big English stock companies are
gone, for nearly everything that came
out of the mines went abroad That
has also been the case very largely
where the mines have been owned by
American non-residents, 1t is getting
TO be less and less the case every year.
The Journal says that the outlook for
mining is more promising than it has
been for a long time. It also thinks
the present activity will be reflected in
the production records Of the current
and succeeding years. This is prob
ably the case, and in the near future
Utah mining is destined to attract
much more attention than in the past.
A member of the Journals editorial

NO sTRADDLE AT ST. LOUIS.


The fear is beginning to seize some of
the Republican journals that there
may be straddle at st. Louis on the
financial question. The Omaha Bee,
as staunch and true a Republican pa
per as there is in all the great west,
says there must be no compromise on
this question of money by the Repub-
fcan national convention.
In the present campaign, it declares,
the lines must be squarely drawn be-
tween the gold and the silver men. 1t
then proceeds to say that it is stimuli
taneously announced from Washington
and st. Louis that the platform upon
which William Mckinley expects to
present himself for the suffrage of the
people will be a compromise, or in
other words, a straddle on the money
question. 1t is unwilling to accept as
McKinley's views all that his friends
say in his behalf, and SO hesitates to
accept this announcement as anthem
tic.
When the Bee says the assertion
that the battle must be fought on
the protective tariff alone is absurd, it
but states the case as it is.
The Republican platform may de-
clare for anything and everything it
likes, but the one great issue will be
silver. This is the view of the Bee,
for it says:
Mckinley will stand for protection
and the fighting will be forced on the
lines of free coinage whether the Re-
publican generals choose that battle
ground or not"
The Bee is for gold alone The Herald
is for free silver; but we agree with
it when it asks that the faint hearted
men who are trying to dodge the main
issue of the campaign by subterfuge
and compromise retire to the rear and
let the fighting men occupy the front
ranks. If this is done, when the bat
tie is over everyone will know what
the victory means.
We feel confident that there will be
no straddle at Chicago. We cannot
think there viii be at st. Louis; there
certainly should be none. Let the
country know what the issue is, then
let it be fought out once and for all.
