coNrRAsrEp INTERVIEWS.

Readers of The Herald will have op-
served the manner in which Judge
King answered the questions put TO
him by Mr.. Bloor These were exactly
the same questions propounded TO MI.
Holbrook The latter stumbled over
them in G manner that has aroused
the distrust of the public, but Judge
King answered each one positively and
distinctly, announcing sentiments that
are entirely in accord with the views OIL
the people of the state.
The replies of the Democratic candl-
date indeed present a striking contrast
to those of his Republican opponent.
Mr. Holbrook did not know whether
he would bolt caucus in the event OF
it's being controlled in the interest OF
the gold standard; Judge King en-
phatically stated he would bolt under
such conditions.
Mr.. Holbrook did not know just what
he would do on the caucus question;
Judge King stated, if a majority OF
the Democratic members or the mouse
were gold men, he would not caucus
with them on financial questions, out
would join hands with the silver men.
independent of party. That is exactly
the position that the people OF Titan
wish their representative to occupy.
Mr.. Holbrook was not quite certain
whether or not he would vote for silver
under all circumstances; Judge King
had no hesitation In saying that ne
would
Mr.. Holbrook had not made UP his
mind as to what he would do on the
question of refusing to vote for tarlll
legislation until silver had been recog-
nized; Judge King informs the public
that he would decline to vote for any
kind of a tariff measure until recog-
milton had been accorded silver.
In other words If Judge King be
elected he will go into congress deter
mined to maintain the paramount char
acter of the silver issue under all cir
cumstances. He recognizes the fact
that we have arrived at a great ma
tional crisis and that heroic measures
have to be resorted to to thwart those
who are arrayed against the interests
of the people. He will permit nothing
to be interposed to stave off financia
legislation and will use every clut
which circumstances may put in hi:
hands in the effort to keep the coas
clear.
: Mr.. Holbrook didn't know just hov
far he would go to promote the inter
ests of free coinage.
The contrast speaks volumes to tn
people of Utah respecting their duty a
the polls.
1t may be argued that it is easy TO

HENRY GEORGES PREDICTIONS,

7 have learned enough of Michigan to
convince me that if the election were
to come off tomorrow Bryan Woulo
carry this state by handsome ma
iority. and to further convince me that
the tendency in his favor is steadlly
growing, and that when he passes
1hrhugh the two peninsulas next week,
making the fifty-five speeches he Is
booked for, even if most OF them De
mere greetings to the crowds that VIII
gather at the stations. 1t is likely TO
swell into veritable tidal wave.
| have tried to get my information
as to how the currents of thought are
running from the best and most re-
liable sources, and the CONCLUSION
have reached is that there is no neeu
of nv going further to form an OPINION
and that it is now as sure as ahyVi! la.
in the future can be that when the
Ord of November comes Michigan will
vote for Bryan and Sewall.
The foregoing is from letter by
Henry George to the San Francisco EX-
aminer from Michigan. 1t must be
confessed that Mr.. George has rather
breezy way of claiming states for
Rrvan: but, on the other hand, there
are few whose Judgment is entitled to
greater consideration. He enjoys the
highest reputation for candor and
honesty and it is not possible that ne
would deliberately prostitute himself
TO a scheme designed to inspire false
/ confidence among those who read ms
letters.
Mr.. George gives his reasons for con-
illusions announced, and it is shown
that he makes the most careful in
curry wherever he goes. He positively
asserts that the workingmen are over
whelmingly for Bryan and that the
same sentiment dominates the farming
/ communities. 1t is because of this sen
tinenI that he believes Ohio and Mich
igan will go for the Democratic candi
date.
The only question then is, Does Mr.
George take his observations accu
rately. or does he rely upon the state
ments of enthusiasts whose wish i
father to the thought? According to tn
statements of the distinguished writer
he gets right down to the root of tn
matter and speaks from direct persona
knowledge He is certainly capabl
of doing this. We have no man VIII

POOLING THE FARMERS.


The free silver orators tell the farm
ers that the price of silver regulates
the urice of wheat and cotton. Yet
during the last thirty days wheat and
cotton have very greatly increased in
price, while silver has steadily declined
The simple fact is that the price of
silver has no more to do with the price
of farm products than have the
changes of the moo. Silver is not
the monetary standard in which prices
are measured. It's price, therefore, has
10 function whatever to perform IN
regulating or even in measuring the
price of other commodities.
Wheat declined for a long time be-
cause of competition from Argentina,
Russia and India and because of heavy
crops in this country. 1t was purely a
question of supply and demand
Now that the supply is less in pro-
norton to the demand, wheat has gone

WILL RosEBERY BECOME A TORY .

Undoubtedly Lord Rosebery is the
hero of the hour in Great Britain And
he made himself the hero by his Edin-
burgh speech. He has struck a
chord that seems to have been in full
harmony with the sentiment of the
English people, at least that portion
which makes and controls public opin
ion.
The one towering question that has
agitated the English people for the
mast six months has been the Armen-
ian massacres. Partial public opinion
in England and all public opinion
in the United States, has been calling
on the Salisbury government to do
something to stop the Armenian mas
sacres and to fulfill the obligations
undertaken by England towards them.
Mr.. Gladstone, one of the greatest
forces in English politics, has been
urging independent action on the Ar
menian question. Lord Rosebery, his
successor as leader of the Liberal
party. did not agree with him; and
this disagreement, together with not
very cordial support on the part OF
large section of the Liberal party,
caused him to resign the leadership.
What has been the consequence OF
such action? 1t has been to make OF
Rosebery the hero of the hour; and to
make him. if lie shall so elect, one OF
the rat leaders of the Conservatives
ThEt leadership is now at his feet
Will lie pick it up? 1t is not at al
jmpossible: stranger things have hap
pened. MIR. Chamberlin, who was q
much more radical Liberal than ever
Lord Rosebery was, and who had also
been a member of Mr.. Gladstone's cabi.
net. eventually differed from Mr.. Glad
stone on the latters home rule policy
and from radical Liberal became {
JJnionist in name but Conservative il
heart. and today holds the post of sec
rotary of state for the colonies in Lore
Salisbury's cabinet.
Why may not Lord Rosebery, a pee
of the realm whose traditions, politica
and social, are all Conservative, find
ing himself all Of sudden so per
fectly in unison with Conservatives Oh
the one great question that today con
fronts the English people, cast his pc
, litical fortunes with them and becom
a leader among them? 1t is not at a.
, improbable that he will.

being to cut in two everything that

being to cut in two everything that it
measures.
The orices of wheat and cotton and
silver are all regulated by this altered
standard, but the average prices OF
silver and products have maintained
the same r'roportionate relations 10
each other. While the price of silver
does not regulate other values, it does
serve as an index for them. Crop
conditions and trade influences may
and do cause independent fluctuations,
Manipulation, whether speculative or
political, may and does bring about
similar results; but it does not disprove
anything that is claimed by the bi-
metallist school, nor can it divert the
attention of the farmers from the real
issue involved in this contest.

and is occasionally given to riding a
hobby; but it is not likely that he
would go off on a tangent in connec-
ton with problem that is SO soon to
be decided. He is giving opinions that
are to be put to the test of practical re
suits in three weeks, and he would
scarcely be willing TO make himself
ridiculous.
For these reasons, Mr.. Georges
statements incline the reader to place
more confidence in the claims OF the
Democratic leaders. These are totally
at variance with the alleged news that
issues from gold sources, but they can
not fail to encourage the supporters OF
free coinage to believe that the cause
is destined to triumph.

the parade in the interest of their candi-

rade got up by the opponents of free

that a night parade would be as well
filed. The noise and cheering were
greater in proportion to the number OF
