sooRcHING ACROSS THE CONTINENT

There is shortly to be a great bicycle
relay from New York to San Francisco
The commandant at Governors island.
New York, will send a message to the
commandant at the Preside, San Fran
cisco, by bicycle in the shortest posi-
bic time. The distance to be Travelled
between the two places is about thirty
five hundred miles. The purpose is to
ascertain how quick that distance can
be covered by wheels travelling both
night and day. Clubs along the route
will furnish wheelmen to do the work
as they will be better acquainted with
the roads. Where the roads are good
the relays will be about fifty miles
each, and shorter where not SO good. 1t
is calculated that with an average
speed of ten miles an hour, both night
and day, the distance can be covered
in about fourteen and a half days
Every precaution will be taken to
guard against accidents, as a sufficient
number of substitutes to insure this
will accompany the messenger The
trial VIII take place in July and the
expense be borne by the New York
Journal and the San Francisco Elk
aminer.
AS feat of bicycling it will be highly
interesting, but it will have no practical
value whatever, save as an advertise
ment for the very enterprising jour-
mails that bear the expense. This is 70
be said in favor of the enterprise, that
it is not claimed that any great prob
lem will be solved by it, that it will be
demonstrated how useful the bicycle
would be in any great emergency.
1t is a great undertaking, and will
be watched with much interest. 1t
will be a fourteen days wonder if all
goes well, and it is to be hoped all will
go well

A TARIFF CONVENTION.

1t is proposed to hold a national non
partisan commercial tariff convention
at Detroit, June .. The result of its
labors will be watched with some in
terest, though there is small hkel1-
hood that the tariff can be removed
from the domain of politics, where 1t
has been for three-quarters of cen
fury. If it could be, it would be good
thing, as the tariff agitation that re-
ours with every presidential election
tends continually to unsettle business,
whether the agitation is for a higher
or lower tariff. 1t is the REIMBURSEMENT
of business affairs to new conditions
that plays the mischief.
But is there any hope of taking the
question out of politics? None at ALL
Around that question the two great
parties have built many of their the
cries of constitutional Interpretation.
Into it comes the question of strict
and loose construction, of the right OF
the government to levy taxes on all the
people for the benefit of a portion of
the people. Could it be taken out OF
politics, the question would still re-
main unanswered: Shall the tariff be
upon revenue or protective basis ?
The declaration in the preamble would
be of little consequence, whether it
was for the purposes of protection or
to raise revenue; the schedules would
be the great thing.
Could both the great parties agree to
submit the whole matter to a commits
sion of experts on such matters, men
whose partisan zeal would not control
them in all their actions, and let them
report a bill to be enacted into law
and to remain unchanged for definite
number of years, it would be good
thing and almost certain to bring pros
perity. What the country needs is not
SO much high or a low tariff as
stable tariff.

WHAT FREE SILVER MEANS.

A citizen of Deep River, Ind, asks
the Chicago Tribune what is meant by
free silver at 16 to 1, to which the
Tribune replies as follows:
Free silver at is to T. is the short
way of saying: The free coinage OF
silver, with sixteen ounces of silver
bullion taken as equal in value to one
ounce of gold bullion" when in point
Of fact it takes 81 ounces of silver to
equal the commercial value of / ounce
of gold all over the world.
At present a person who has a bar
of gold can take it to the mint and for
every % is grains of gold it contains
he is handed. back one gold dollar
With those dollars he can do as he
pleases. He can pay his debts. He
can buy property. He can travel round
the world, as they are taken at par
value everywhere. Their commercial
value is equal to their legal tender
value in all parts of the Union.
That is only partial answer and
not at all plain and honest one. The
free coinage of silver at 16 to means

THE STATE CONVENTION.

In nineteen days the Democratic
state convention for the election of six
delegates to the Democratic national
convention at Chicago will meet. 1t
will be the first state convention the
party has ever held in Utah; it viii
be as important one as the party has
held in Utah.
There is a burning issue before the
people of the land one in which all are
interested, one that must be settled,
and that is the question of
finance. the question of the single
standard of gold or the double standard
of gold and silver Utah is for the
double standard, for the free coinage
of gold and silver This issue will be
the paramount one at Chicago. The
Democrats of this state will send there
delegation pledged to free silver, in
structed to make no compromise, to
accept no promises, to take no mess of
pottage, to be satisfied with nothing
less than an absolute and unqualified
declaration by the national convention
in favor of the free and independent
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to /.
The best men in the party should be
named as delegates, men whose loyalty
to silver is unquestioned, who cannot
be approached by any influence for the
purpose of weakening their determine
ton to fight for free coinage. Only
silver men should be sent The county
conventions should bear this in mind
in electing delegates to the state con-
vention.
And when the delegation to Chicago
is selected it should select as the ma
tional committeeman for Utah a free
silver man, and not man who de-
clares Il favor the gold standard and
cannot predict the vagaries of the free
silver people in any event" The Demo-
Gratis of Utah want no such man on the
national committee to misrepresent
them.
Many of the counties have called
their conventions but Salt Lake county
has not. It should be called immedi-
ately, as a weeks notice of the pri-
maries should be given and at least a
weeks time allowed between the meet
ing Of the county convention and the
meeting of the state convention.

BICYCLES AND PROTECTION.

The Washington Post has been TAX
ing the Detroit Journal to task. The
Journal says that ''if every American
Industry were as active as the bicycle
industry, this country would be on the
crest of a powerful wave of prosper
ity" That is very true, and no one will
dispute the fact. But the Journal had
to bring in its favorite theory of pro-
lection, saying I'VE do not suffer for
eign competition to any appreciable ex-
tent, and hence its vitality and thrift"
This is not all. The Journal says the
Republican party is committed to a
policy which will foster and build up
other industries just as the bicycle in
dustry has been built up"
Now the Post, good Republican pa
per though it be. regards the Journals
talk as SO much twaddle, which it is
1t declares that no change of tariff
policy or readjustment of schedules or
work of the wisest statesmen could
possibly build up other industries just
as the bicycle industry has been built
up"
Such nonsense makes the Post al
most lose its temper. 1t does not be-
lieve that protection can do everything
from making the sun stop in it's course
to converting a sow's ear into silk
purse. It says that protection did not
invent and improve the bicycle, nor
did it cause that vehicle to come into
use so general that it bids fair to be-
come almost universal. 1t is calculated
to injure any cause, however good, to
make absurd claims in its behalf. No
political policy, no system of political
economy, can make every American in
dustry as active as the bicycle indus
try"
Then it is heartless enough to ask:
"Can our Detroit contemporary tell us
how protection can be so applied as to
avoid this? When thousands or mil
lions of citizens take to the wheel, the
carriage and horse fall into disuse
Can protection make the business of
the carriage factory and the livery
stable hum under such conditioner All
we have to say to this is that such
questions will upset any system of the
ology
The Post is not satisfied with merely
asking questions. 1t is compelled to tell
truths, unpalatable truths to protec-
tionists. 1t does not hesitate to declare
that the notion that 'the Republican
party has a cure for all the disorders
incident to the advent of a radical
change like that which the wheel has
produced is absurd" That is most
wholesome truth, one not comprehend
ed by about half the American people.
The bicycle industry has been built
up by American pluck and persever-
ence and skill. 1t has no foreign COM
petition in this country because Amer
lean bicycles are the lightest, the
strongest, the best in the world.

DEMOCRATS AND SILVER.

The Democrats of Deer Lodge county,
Montana, met in convention Saturday
and elected delegates to the state con-
vention. They also adopted a plat
form that is pretty sure to be adopted
by the state convention. Its declara-
tons on the silver question are most
important, as important as those made
by the Republicans of Colorado at Pu-
eblo Of course the restoration of sill
yer as a money metal is demanded.
while the policy of the administration
on the financial question is condemned
The plank that has the greatest in
terest for the people of the west is
this:
We appeal to the Democratic conven-
ton soon to be held in this state to
name its delegates to the Chicago con-
Vention under instructions to act first
and last in complete harmony with the
majority of the free coinage delegates
who will be seated in that body, the
understanding being that the Demo-
Gratis in Montana will cordially coop
crate on whatever plan the majority of
the silver delegates at Chicago may
eject To pursue. We also Respectfully
urge the Montana Democrats, in their
state convention, so to frame their
platform that every loyal citizen of
Montana can consistently support it to
the end that, whatever betide in ma
tional politics, this commonwealth, at
the polls, viii assert its loyalty to the
imperishable proposition that, in the
currency system of the United States,
silver must and shall be restored.
There was no wobble here. 1t makes
silver the great issue. the test of 10y
atty for the Democrats and people of
Montana There is here a hint for the
Democrats of Utah.
1t is altogether likely that the Mon
tana Democratic state convention will
adopt this or very similar resolution.

"HoNEsr MONEY DEMocRATs.y

Washington Hesing, Mr.. Cleveland's
postmaster at Chicago, in response to
a telegram from the New York Jour
nal as to the probable attitude of the
Democratic national. convention on
the financial question, says:
l do not believe that the honest
money men would bolt silver plat
form, if adopted at the convention, I'M
less the Republicans should declare
for honest money. In that event, hon
est money Democrats would no doubt
rather support a Republican who is
sound on the money question-for that,
in this campaign, is the issue-even II
that candidate did not represent the
views of honest money Democrats on
the tariff. Honest money Democrats
in this campaign believe in the money
issue first, and the tariff second.
The honest money Democrats
would not bolt the Chicago convention
in the event that it declared for silver,
unless the Republicans should declare
for gold, but if it did, then these hon
est" money Democrats would. They
would be perfectly willing to accept
all the heresies of Republicanism,
high tariff, Capitalization, everything,
for the sake of gold. Are all the
theories of Democracy to be cast aside,
its fundamental principles of free gov
eminent to be thrown aside for gold?
1t so seems.
Postmaster Hesing is right when he
says that in his campaign the money
issue is first. There is no question
about it. The country will accept none
other as first, or as approaching it in
importance. It should be settled this
year, and we believe it will be. 1t is
the hope and belief of the Democrats
of the west and south that it will be
settled in favor of free silver.
