WEST VS.. EAST.

Senator Lee Mantle of Montana an
swered the insinuations of Mr.. Cleve-
land against the western states very
effectually as shown by the full re-
port of his speech. The senator read
series of tables in which the five sill
yer producing states of Montana, Colo
RADIO, Utah, Nevada and Idaho were
compared with the five eastern states,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Is
land, New York and Pennsylvania.
The average percentages of illiteracy
to the whole population in the two
groups were respectively 43 and So; of
illiteracy among foreign born citizens,
S.9 and 21.0 respectively; af wealth per
capita, $2S.59 and $1,145 respectively; of
total public debts, per capita, $13.71 and
SPIES; of amounts per capita per an
mum expended for schools, $15.5S and
S11.29; of debts on taxed real estate in
proportion to value, 6.64 and 1875, and
of increase of population from 1880 to
1890, 11056 and 1885. The total num-
Der of paupers per 100000 OF popula-
ton in the first group is 266, in the
second group 942
Mr.. Cleveland's remark was probably
thoughtless-it was certainly ground

cities are a much more promising field
for missionary effort than the states

pEPEw AND THE WEST.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew made a very
extensive tour of the west if of rather
short duration. This tour has unques-
tionably changed his opinion of this
portion of our common country and it
is altogether doubtful if now he would
at all agree with Mr.. Cleveland in his
estimate of the west. Mr.. Depew is a
man of vast social and business influ-
ence and it is to be expected that he
will give to his wide circle OF friends
and acquaintance full and rather
glowing accounts of his western expe-
riences and so transfer to them much
of the favorable impressions he receiv-
ed.
In a recent interview he told of what
he had seen, nor was he unmindful of
Utah. He appears to have been very
much impressed with the mining indus
try. He says:
There are two things which will pre-
vent the organization of a. free silver
party. One of these is that the produc-
ton of gold has enormously increa sed
particularly in California and Utah.
Gold ore yielding as low as SO a ton
can now be worked at a profit by the
new cyanide process, whereas silver ore
must show $24 a ton before it can be
worked. This naturally attracts many
activities in the production Of gold.
I know of one gold mine which was
originally sold for $4,000 to be bought
for S15O,000 by its present owner, who
after failing to sell it in New York for
81, 600 600, now finds that he has $14,000,-
900 of gold in sight.
This is near Salt Lake city, and that
reminds me that Utah is the most pros
porous of any of the new states. Her
mines are productive, and the Mormon
farmers are wise enough to be content
to get good livings out of comparatively
small farms.
He speaks so favorably of Utah that
we shall take no issue Whatever with
him on the silver question. The refer
ence to Utah gold mine is to Mercur
of course. The Mercur mining district,
we believe, is yet destined to rival the
great Cripple Creek district of Colo
RADIO. That district is world-famous,
while Mercur is scarcely known outside
of Utah, though it, too, is beginning to
attract attention, while the recent gov
eminent report upon it (Which was
noted in our columns day or so ago.
cannot but aid very materially in Civ
ing it prominence it has never had
before.
That a man of Mr.. Depew's acknowl-
edged business capacity, who is also
very conservative, should have been
so favorably struck with what he learn
ed of Mercur means that the capitalists
of the set to which he belongs will, in
all probability, devote considerable of
their attention and most likely some
Of their capital to the rich mineral
fields of Utah. Mr.. Depew's inter
views are among the best advertise
ments Utah has ever had.

pride of every citizen of the state to

TICS.

Major Mckinley may receive the
nomination; he certainly has developed
an extraordinary ante-convention
strength. Yet he is not the logical
candidate. If protection were the
logical issue Major Mckinley would
be the logical candidate. But the So
called Wilson-Gorman tariff, now in
operation, is, barring certain features,
an almost unprecedentedly high tariff.
1t is giving almost universal .satisfac-
ton, only those being heard to COM
plain who are specially to be benefited
by more pap" The country at large
wishes no change-no tariff agitation.
Business men agree that the agitation
of the tariff is to be deplored. Re-
publicans who cry for protection and
Democrats who demand free trade,
agree that the country has more to
gain by acquiescence in the existing
tariff than by a change to suit their
respective views.
There is but one issue-that of
finance. It cannot be sidetracked. No
straddling platform will be tolerated
this year by public sentiment. The
parties must deci.le whether it is to be
gold alone or gold and silver.
A striking fact indicative of the
growth of public sentiment is found
in the change Of sentiment in sound
money circles. Within a year. pretty

AT St. Louis the old, old story will
be repeated. The nomination of the
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency will rest with the negro dele
gates from the south. That these del
egates will vote as they are bought
to vote is matter Of general belief.
Mr.. Reed or Governor Morton may
carry the north by a handsome ma
jority, but Major McKinley's colored
contingent from the south will be able
to determine the matter-and, by the
way, the major has made his "trip
through the southern states, and pre-
sumably was not there on an errand
wholly disassociated from politics.

Republicans feel certain of victory
this autumn. They believe they are
dead sure to elect the president, hold
the control of the house and proba-
bly, capture the senate Yet-yet the
dawn of prosperity has not dissipated
the darkness of financial despair. The
time was, but a few years since, when
the anticipation of Republican sue
cess lit the fires under the furnaces
and caused the tin pail factories to
run day and night. Why is this thus
ness? Has the old rule ceased to work?
Is the probable election of the Ma
poleon of protection not sufficient to
startie prosperity from her long slum-
Der? Must we wait for the actual re-
alization; has the anticipation ceased

Governor Wells has vetoed the bill
authorizing the payment of interest
on state warrants. AT the time the bill
was before the legislature we opposed
it because it was an encoura gement
to extravaganza and would pile up
debts. We are heartily glad that the
governor has vetoed it, for in so doing
he has served the best interests of the
people.
