proportion of the burdens of the STATE
that their own counties might have
their just burdens lightened. This
sCir.it prevailed in the constitutional
convention and it prevailed in the last
legislature; it is to be hoped that it
will not prevail in the board of equal
ization
So far as we are aware the assessed
valuation of property in Salt Lake
county is 80 per cent. of its actual
value, and that there is very little of
it that could be sold today for what it
is assessed at. If the assessed valua-
ton is raised 25 per cent. it will be far
above its value while it will be i'm
possible to dispose of any property at
the valuation placed upon it by the
board of equalization.
If the valuation in any county be
too low, no matter what county it is,
let the board raise 1t to what it should
be, but let the board be very certain
that it is not raising it beyond it's
actual value. And let the board be
very, very certain that it does not
make fish of one county and fowl of
another Such things have been.

THE c1rY,s DEFuNcr FUNDS.

The city funds that Treasurer May
had in the Bank of Salt Lake may as
well be charged up to profit and loss,
so far as getting anything out of the
bank is concerned.
There seems TO be some dispute as
to whether or not the treasurer knew
that the bank was not sound. 1t was
his business to know if he did not, and
he could very easily have found out.
1t is a well known fact that one of the
county officials who had public funds
deposited in this same bank withdrew
them some little time before it failed
because the bank was not considered
the soundest And we have heard it
ineimated that some of the treasurer s
bondsmen did not consider the bank
safe and that the treasurer was aware
that they did not; whether this is so
we do not profess to know. This much
is certain: that the city funds were in
a rotten concern; that its rottenness
has been proven, and that the city is
out for long time, If not permanently,
some thirteen thousand dollars.
Where public funds shall be dapos-
ited is a matter that should receive the
careful consideration of the next legis-
lalture. Depositories for the reception
of state funds should be designated the
same as they are for the reception of
United States funds 1t would save
lots Of trouble. and funds too.

WHITNEY ON THE SITUATION.

Mr.. William c. Whitney has been
interviewed on the subject of a third
ticket to be nominated by the gold
standard. Democrats. 1t is his opinion
that the Republican leaders are max
ing this course inevitable We hope
they are, for it means the division of
the gold forces. The detection from
the Republican party because of the
financial plank in the St Louis plat
form is very considerably greater than
the detection in the Democratic party
because Of the financial plank in the
Chicago platform. Then this Republi-
can detection will go TO Bryan and
Sewall, while if the disaffected Dem
ocrats set up a third ticket it will be
taking so much from Mckinley and
Hobart.
MIR. Whitney says that there does
not seem to be among the Republican
managers and candidates any realiz-
ing sense of the seriousness and sin
cerity of the free silver movement.
That is not true. The advocates of the
gold standard have been occupying
themselves with pooh-poohing the sill
Yer movement, all the while thinking
themselves secure in their soft-cush-
toned chairs. The bolt at St Louis
somewhat disturbed their sense of Sc
curity, but the declarations of the Chi
cago convention brought them bound
ing out of their chairs and made them
stand bolt upright. 1t is safe to say
that Mr.. Whitney himself did not re-
ahze the strength of the silver senti-
merit in the Democratic party and
throughout the country until he went
to Chicago.
Mr.. Whitney says: az think it may
be accepted as fact that the vast
majority of free silver believers at this
time are not open TO conviction. Their
minds are made up, and they are quite
as little inclined to reason upon the
subject as were the delegates whom
they sent to Chicago"
We believe he is right in the main.
Is it reasonable to believe that the sill
yer men are going to listen to the ar
guments of those who have been Will
flying and slandering them ali they
could? They have heaped upon them
all the abuse and ignominy they were
capable of. Can they now expect the
silver men to heed what they say?
If they DO they but show how ignor-
ant they are of human nature. There
is said to be in every human breast a
wild beast. If this be so, surely the
gold men have tried to arouse it in the
breasts of the silver men; and how
nearly they have succeeded they do
not know.
Mr.. Whitney says that Mckinley
continues to discuss the tariff when it
has ceased to be an actual issue. We
trust he will keep on discussing it, for
so sure as the Republican party keep
to that as the issue Mr.. Bryan will be
elected president of the United States
by the largest majority ever given any
man. 1t is McKinley's fate to lead his
party to defeat in 1895, as the McKin-
leyism issue led it to defeat in 1892.

SILVER IN MEXICO.

The gold press never tires of pointing
TO Mexico as a horrible example" of
free silver. II endeavors to scare the
people with this example as wicked
servant girls do little children with
stories of ghosts. The servant girls
have by far the greater success.
A Mr. William S. Morse. formerly of
Denver, where he was engaged in BUSH
ness with Mr.. w. H. Bush. of the
Brown Palace hotel, writes to that gen.
tleman from Huautia, Morales, Mexico
under date of June 26. as follows:
It is a relief to get away from where
everybody is crying hard times and be
where people are prosperous, even
though they have to use silver for
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-07-25


money. Mexico is Undoubtedly profit
! ing by the gold standard in the United
States, as she gets double price for her
exports, and the high rate of exchange
acts as a. protective tariff, and the re-
suit is that many manufacturing es-
Establishments are starting up all over
the republic. So far as labor and the
products Of the country go. a Mexican
dollar will buy as much now as ever,
and as for imported Injuries it only
affects very small proportion of the
inhabitants anyway, and the result is
that the imports from gold-using
countries are falling off rather than in
creasing.
The cry of the goldbugs in the states,
that in the event OF free coinage all
the silver in the world would be
dumped on the country, don't seem to
work that way here; instead of which
the Mexican dollar is being exported
as usual, and is the standard of value
for more people in the word than any
other coin.
This proves conclusively that free
silver is not injuring Mexico. And if it
doesn't injure Mexico, why should it in
jure the United States? The gold press
will have to hunt up some other
country than Mexico as a warning eX-
ample to the people of the United
States of the bad effects of free silver.

TO RAISE ASSESSED VALUATIONS

1t is understood to be the inteation
of the state board of equalization to
raise the assessed valuation on prop
erty generally throughout the state.
How much it will be raised we do not
know, but well informed gentleman
tells US that uhe intention is to raise it
in Salt Lake county 25 per cent.
Whether this is so or not we cannot
say, but there is no doubt that the as
sessment in this and one or two other
leading counties will be higher than
outlying counties; it always has been,
and it always has been because the
members of the legislature from the
outside counties have been able to band
themselves together and make the two
or three leading counties bear an undue

SUNSETS NEVER COLD.

I go the common way of all;
The sunset fires will burn,
The flowers will blow, the river flow,
When | no more return.
No whisper from the mountain pine,
Nor lapsing stream shall tell
The stranger treading where l tread
OF him who loved them we'll.
But beauty seen is never lost,
Gods colors are all fast;
The glory of this sunset heaven
Into my soul has passed
A sense of gladness unconfined
To mortal date or cline:
AS the soul liveth, it shall live
Beyond the years of time.
Beside the mystic asphodels
Shall bloom the home-born flowers,
And new horizons flush and glow
With sunset hues of ours.
FAREWELL These smiling hills must veal
Too soon their wintry frown.
And snow-clad winds from off them shake
The naples red leaves down.
But I shall see 81 summer sun
Still setting broad and low;
The noun ain slopes shall blush and blow
The golden waters flow
a lovers claim is NINE on all
l see to have and hold
The rose-light of perpetual hills,
And sunsets never cold!

srR. RAwLINs NOT A CANDIDATE.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
a statement by Hon. S. r. Thurman,
of Provo, that Hon. Joseph L. Rawlins
absolutely declines TO be a candidate
for United States senator this year.
We understand that Mr.. Thurman has
had letter from Mr. Rawlins to this
effect for several days, but only yester-
day did he make the fact public.
Mr.. Rawlins' determination will be
disappointment to his friends and
party. No man in the Democratic
party in Utah has had or has its con-
idence ana respect in greater degree
than he. 1t has been the hope and de-
sire of the party to have Mr.. Rawlfns
represent the state in the federal SEN
ate. If the party carries the legisla-
ture this year that hope and desire
cannot this year be realized. But if at
some future time when senator is to
be elected the party carries the legis-
lature it will hope to honor Mr.. Raw
Inns by electing him a senator.
Because Mr.. Rawlins positively de-
clines to be a candidate for senator no
one should get the idea that he will
abate one bit his interest in the cause
of Democracy or that he will cease to
work for its success with the same
zeal in the future that he has III the
past. And the hearts of the Democrats
Of Utah will beat as warmly for him in
the future as they have in the past.
