spot which was almost dear to my heart
as my birthplace seemed a bit OF foreign
country. The trim, two-storied, white
doored little house was gore, its number
being worn by a huge. towering. ugly ten

half-naked children. It's fire escapes piled
with dirty mattresses, washtubs, rusty

I asked some OF the neighhors II they

butcher shop in the house where Mrs

THE PRICE OF BOOKS.

Discussing the question of theA effect
of the war upon various businesses, a
writer in the New York Herald says:
If, however, there be a falling off in
the sale of books. new or secondhand,
American or imported, why should not
publisher and bookseller meet the pub
lie half way? The sale of books is af7
fected by their dearneSs. Cheaper
them, and see whether the sale does
not increase. 1 mentioned the other
day the new edition of Byron published
in London by Mr.. Murray and in New
York by Messrs. Scribner. The price in
London is shillings a volume, or $150.
The price here is 81 a volume. The
American buyer is expected to pay one
third more than the English buyer. If
the American publisher were TO put his
American customer on a level with the
English customer, the increased sale
might very we'll reimburse him for the
diminished price. And If it did not,
why should the American always have
to pay more than the Englishman for
the same book?
In determining the price of imported
books the rule seems to be to charge
the English retail price, plus 25 per
cent. And then the sellers blandly tell
a customer that the price is only the
English price plus the tariff. This is
the minimum price for imported books.
There is no reason why the New York
or Boston importer should not sell the
English book at the English retail
price, for the custom in England is
to give % per cent off, while no such
custom prevails in this country, save
with the very large department stores
in New York and Philadelphia The
Herald writer asks why Americans
should always have to pay more than
the Engiishman for the same book.
There is no good reason, save that the
American is supposed to be easier to
bleed, and the supposition is usually
correct.
There is another matter that affects
the price of foreign books considerably,
and that is the valuation put upon
them at the custom house To the man
who occasionally sends abroad for a
book not published in this country it
looks as though there were no system
whatever III valuing books at the Gus
tom house. Very frequently they are
valued higher than their retail price
abroad, rarely below it, and there are
cases where volumes in the same series,
all costing alike, are valued differently
AS a rule the price of books is too
high, particularly is this so of library
editions. The price of almost every
thing has come down more than that of
books.

GIVE OR TAKE.

The bond issue is inevitable. Finan-
ciers who opposed the war up to the
last resort, for fear of the financial loss
it might bring them, are determined
that the people shall make that loss
good.
There were two ways to avoid bond
issue. but the administration party has
avoided them both; there were two
courses to pursue which would have
rendered this bond business unneces-
sary: Prompt invasion of Cuba with
an aggressive campaign in the West
Indies; and a war revenue measure
which would have placed the burdens
of taxation upon the shoulders of
those who ought, because able, TO bear
them.
But congress contains so many cor
poration agents, so many men who
represent the money classes, that any
bill proposed for the purpose of taxing
wealth its just proportion, meets their
persistent opposition. Rather than be
compelled to pay an income or corpora
ton tax, they would prefer an oppor-
tunity TO invest in government bonds.
They would rather make something
out of this war than aid, according to
their means, in-its prosecution 1t is
better to take than to give, says the
modern statesman.

OPERA BoUFFE WAR.

The London Times, commenting on
the war, says that little seems to have
been done on either side, except to
consume gunpowder, remarking, also,
that there is one thing at least the adj
mirals ard generals on both sides are
accomplishing with great steadiness:
They are spending large sums of
money, which their governments must
pro-:de"
There is but too much truth in this.
Little is being done and there seems to
be small prospect that much more is to
be done. Our squadrons in Cuban wa
tiers are going around Smelling various
places. but accomplishing little or
nothing. It seems that they locate a
few batteries, but if the batteries are
not destroyed. what good does their
location do? In the bombardment of
Santiago it appears that great shells
were thrown all around the CristobaI
Colon, making the water splash like a
lot of boys in swimming, but not hit
ting her. Engaging in bombardments
where the ammunition expended costs
anywhere from quarter TO half a mil
lion dollars and accomplishing prac-
tically nothing gets to be expensive.
And what is the army doing? 1t is
INDUCING in sham battles, while the
Cuban patriots are suffering under the
yoke of Spanish tyranny In the ac-
count of this great sham battle at
Chickamauga such important news as
this is sent out to the country and the
world:
During the engagement, Lieutenant
Colonel John Jacob Aston, who was
greatly interested in the battle. became
detached from the generals staff, was
by the enemy and was be-
ing carried off as a prisoner of war.
when an officer interfered and ordered
bis release.
He was in a terribly dangerous posi-
ton, wasn't he? Who was the officer
that irterfered and ordered his re-
lease? This officer should be kept within
easy call when the army gets to Cuba,
if it ever does.
The historian of the war to date
should be an Offenbach.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-06-03
CAN SUCH THINGS BE?

There is suspicious air about the
Associated Press reports this morning.
1t would be humiliating if the move
ments of the army and navy during the
next few days should indicate that the
administration had again changed its
mind; that the order of invasion had
been revoked; that the embarkation of
troops at Tampa had not occurred;
that the second expedition to Manila
had been purposely delayed: that the
occupation of Porto Rico had been post
poned; that the war department had
been deliberately deceiving the Ameri-
can people; that the policy OF delay had
never been abandoned, although ex-
cuse after excuse for it had been ex-
ploded.
It surely cannot be possible that men
expect to reserve. this war for cam
paign purposes this fall; that they in
tend to force bond issue before an
other decisive move is made; that they
propose to fritter away the summer,
taxing the patience and substance of
the people, ignoring the object OF the
w INV tllA5 ttle contempt u Ol0GF
powers, and giving spain the time she
needs most-for the purpose of winding
it all up in a blaze of glory and brilliant
victory just before the November cleo
ton.
There must be some mistake. Surely
the transports have left Tampa with
the invading army. as the war depart
ment said they would. Surely the ship
owners at San Francisco have been told
TO have their vessels ready to bear the
army of occupation to Manila as the
war department announced
II must be that the news sent out
from Tampa by the Associated Press.
published this morning, contains an
error; that the shpowRers at San
Francisco have been misquoted. Gros-
venOr was only joking when he declared
that the administration intends to make
this a Republican war. 1t is such a
matter. this war, and
the dangers, and the trials, and the
tears. and the blood. and the bonds it
