Speaking of the approaching visit OF
Mr.. Bryan to California; the Los An
geles Herald saws:
There is but one Interpretation pos
sible of the interest shown both in Mr..
Bryan and in the especial cause he
represents. Both are still dear to the
hearts of the people. Silver is not
dead. nor is it sleeping, even. The
campaign of education is still in prog
ress. even though there is no general
battle to be fought this year. The
voters are eager to see, ready to learn
and in every way are anxious to pre-
pare for the great battle in 1909. But
there is no reason why the reception
TO Mr.. Bryan in California should be
of a partisan character. Mr.. Bryan is
a grand type of the educated. self-reli-
ant and patriotic young American citi-
zen: a man of clean character and
noble inspirations; one who has been
the deserving recipient of high honors
from the common people. Such man,
whether he be Democrat or Republic
an, or neither may well be warmly
received by American communities re-
gardless of political affiliations"
The sentiments here uttered find a
response in the hearts of the people

UrAH'S SENATORS.
Remarkable Fact That Both Are Ma
tiVes of the State.

New York Tribune: Utah, the young
est state in the Union, has two sena-
tors who are both natives of the state.
1t is rather remarkable fact as none
OF the new states have been repre-
sented by men born within their bor-
ders. Senator Cannon and Senator
RawlinS were born in Utah, and both
are young men. But new states have
been represented heretofore by young
men. AT the same time it indicates
that Utah was settled long ago, and it
is a fact that the early settlements
were previous to 1850. Senator Raw
Inns was born in 1850 and must have
been among the early white children
born in the territory. Senator Cannon
was born in 1863. Besides Utah, only
four states west Of the Mississippi can
boast of native-born senator. They
are California, with Senator White,
born in 1858; Oregon. with Senator Nc
Bride, born in 1854; Missouri, with Sen
ator Cockrell, born in 1884; Texas, with
Senator Chiffon, born in 1858. All of
these men with the exception of Sena-
tor Cockrell, are under so years of age,
and a senator under so is regarded as a
young man.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-05-27

portion of the tax 10 the farmer. that
falls upon him through the regular
tariff. Mr.. Cannon responded that in
his guilelessness as a Republican he
had accepted the entire protective idea,
but now with the responsibility of
weighing the merits Of every protective
proposition, he insisted on equalizing
the advantages so that the farmer
would receive 4 snare.
How many times have we not heard
Senator Cannon contending in the
campaigns in Utah that the tariff was
not a tax on our people, but on the
foreigner? He seems now to have for
gotten all those arguments and thinks
only of robbery. His position is I'M
tenable, and in the light of what he
once was he ought to be denounced;
but being only Frank ]. Cannon, a man
not big enough for the honor thrust
upon him, We will simply pity him in
his sad Dredicament. We hope, how
ever, that some friend of his will get
hold of him just before the final vote
and secure his ballot for protection.
From the strictly Republican stand
point the criticism of the Enquirer is
warranted. Just how many times our
contemporary has heard Senator Can
non contend that the tariff was not
tax on the American people, but that
1t was paid by the foreigner. we can
not say, but good many we fancy.
But can it be possible that our con-
temporary believed such fustian be-
cause Senator Cannon or any one else
said so?
1t has been a long time since the En-
quirer could indorse in full the sena-
tors political stand and this boIlnfv on
exports scheme seems to be the last
straw on the camels back to it. But
ii is right in denouncing it.

SENATOR CANNoN'S BOUNTY
SCHEME DENOUNCED.

The leading Mckinley Republican
/ papers Of the state do not like Senator
Cannon's amendment to the senate
tariff bill providing for bounty on
exports: they speak of him as q traitor
in the camp Thus the Provo En-
cuirer says that he has done himself
no credit by his proposed export boun-
ty: that it is an impracticable policy
and viii not receive sanction. Whether
the senator has done himself no credit
we do not pretend TO say. but we agree
with our Provo contemporary that his
policy or scheme or whatever it may
be called is impracucable and that 1t
VIII not be sanctioned. Nor should it
be. f Senator Cannon's aim in intro
ducing his amendment was TO discredit
the old school Of protection" surely
it was a most laudable one.
The Enquirer says he VIII live to see
the old school of protection" again
triumphant in Utah We fancy our
contemporary means by this the Nc
Kinley school Of protection, which is
in reality the new school of protection.
The old school was that Of Clay and
Webster. and the protection they ad-
vocated would be called free trade by
the protectionists OF today.
The Enquirer proceeds as follows:

has simply confirmed the suspicion
many have held concerning him, that
he could not be depended upon to stand
by protection when it came to the test.
Senator Chandler, il seems, thought it
passing strange that Senator Cannon,
once a protesting protectionist, should
now conclude that the system was q
robbery. No other conclusion could be
formed from his proposed amendment

stagnation. When they will move out

provement before September, the month
in which the fall trade always begins,

Even when that is disposed of there is
no prospect of rapid or decided i'm

A gentleman who has recently re-
turned from the east. where he has
been for a month past, tells Us that
while ne paid no special attention to
the condition OF business or the pros
poets for its improvement, ne thought
the feeling among the railroads was a
very fair index, and that they were
all feeling very blue, as they could dis
Germ no prospects OF any material i'm
provement in business in the near fu-

knowing what the sentiment among the
railroad people was were exceptional.
The return Of prosperity and the re-

matters of slow growth and legislation
can do little to hasten them forward.
