In iugubrious address to the voters
of the state, the Republican organ un-
dertakes 90 tell therein how TO vote. or
H. Roberts. Then it says: You can
not at the dictation of any mortal vote
for any man without violating that bill
of rights which should be your great
charter of liberty.
We know of no one at present die
tating to the men and women of Utah
unless that is what our neighbor is ur
to; in which event its advice is GER
tainly timely and will be followed to
the letter
1t closes like this: 1.-THE eyes of this
whole nation will be upon you to see
how you vote in November. From that
vote the country will make new esti-
mates of you; from it they will decide
whether Utah is in fact free Amer
lean state or not"
In other words, if you vote for Elder
Eldredge you are all right in the estl-
nation of the Tribune; but IL you vote
for Elder Roberts you are all wrong

ter that does not with equal or greater

1--WE TOLD THEM sou

The Tribune is trying to convince
silver men that they made a mistake
by not following it back into the gold
bug organization.
1t calls attention to the fact that they
received no Democratic nominations,
and says: I'VE told them how it would

The Republican organ cannot i'm
agine why men should join party that
doesn't tender them an Office for so do
ing. 1t must have warned some one
that he couldn't get a nomination, for
it says: I'VE told them how it would
be"
Trailing in the dust of Arthur
Browns division of the cid Republican
party, our neighbor twits its former
associates who joined the Democracy
1t lectures them about walking in the
rear; still it walks there; and 1t never
seems to think that an honest silverite
would hundred times prefer to march
at the tail end of a silver army than to
be a camp follower of the goldbug
forces, as the organ is.
I'VE told them how it would be-"
says the journalistic wiseacre, as it joys
along, trying to keep in step with the
resurrected Arthur.

EGYPTIAN POSSIBILITIES.

In looking about for wider markets, >"
the american manufacturer catches a
glimpse of Egypt. There is no richer
world and the gradually opening fields
of agriculture and enterprise invite
the American tradesman to compete
with the world in supplying the de-
lQands of progress.
This is being done. Our manufac-
turers who have to be protected against
competition in selling their wares at
home, actually compete with the
pauper labor" of Europe, and undersell
everybody, even themselves in Ameri-
can prices.
The Atlanta Journal points out that
Egypt is n much more important
country than most persons suppose
who are as far away from it as we are
1t has an area of 394,240 square miles
almost equal in extent to the whole of
the North and South Atlantic states.
The cultivated and settled parts aggre-
gate 1876 square miles, an area about
equal to the state of Maryland. Nine
teen hundred years ago the population
of Egypt was 100000; under the rule
of the Mamelukes it was reduced to
100000. In 1875 the population was g.
600 600, and under the rule of Tewfk
and his son, Abbas III, since 1852. its
population has steadily increased, so
that it is at present about 10,000.000
1t calls attention to the "eligion, the
habits, the disposition of the people,
the taxes, and the new system of irri-
cation Under which crops are made
more certain. and the cultivation of a
larger area possible.
The new reservoir at Assouan being
constructed by the British government.
will add considerably to the 100000
already probably cultivated; and the
railway system projected means the
further develc9ment in other lines.
THE imports of Egypt in 1873
amounted to s25.00O.OO0 In 1896 they
amounted to s50,90o.00e being an in
crease CO more than 100 per cent in 81
years These imports came from the
following countries, England and pos
sessions, sls,5os. 700; Turkey, ss,95s,00O;
France and possessions. Sc, 100000; Aus

The difference between the number
of bales actually reported and the num-
her given in the table is explained by
the fact that only Commercial cotton"
is considered in compiling the reports.
The cotton mills of the south con-
sumed $4,000 bales of cotton, or 1884,
no more than in 1867. This con-
sumption of a million and a quarter
bales is to be compared with con-
sumption in the north of 1.S75,0 bales.
The cotton manufacturing industry
is growing very rapidly in the south
and, in all probability, will equal that
in the north within very few years.
Owing to the fact that the supply
from this years crop is largely in ex-
cess of the demand, a trust or combina-
ton among the planters is being talked
of, to keep down the supply, in order
to hold up the price. This plan has it's
drawbacks as well. For, while it is
not encouraging to pick and hold cot
ton for good prices, and then be COM
PEELED to unload at low figure, it all
meant money when it was sold. a bale
of cotton can always be turned into
cash.
The Picayune calls attention to the
extension of the cotton belt west, in
GLIDING new fields whose development
will choke the market still more. The
center of production drifts steadily
westward. Texas grew one-fourth of
the years crop. Kansas has become q
cotton state, producing 364 bales, while
Utah produced IS bales. The total eX-
ports of the year were 7,65S,00O bales.
against 6,650,0O0 for the previous year,
and 400, 900 in 1S95-96. The worlds de-
mand for cotton is growing, with the
multiplication of factories IN the south
and in India, China and Japan, to say
nothing of Europe. The supply, unhap-
PLY for the price. grows still faster.
Egypt. year by year. produces more
OF its excellent fiber. and the COMPETE
lion with the United States is Substan-
tial, though not on an alarming scale"

TALES OF THE DAY.
Gladstone as a Precentor.

A writer in the New York Evangelist
tells a story of Mr.. Gladstone when he
was prime minister. He was one of a
large house party at Inverary castle. the
seat of the Duke of Argyle, in Scotland
The famous DR.. Guthrie led the morn
ing and evening worship every day, and
Lady Mary Campbell one of the dukes
daughters, played the organ. One morn
ing she was absent, and. DR.. Guthrie ex-
pressed regret that there was no precen-
tor present to lead the singing. Permit
me- doctor" said one of those present
DR.. Guthrie looked uD and there was
the great tall form of Gladstone, who
had taken the psalm book in his hand
and all the congregation rose while. to
the grand old tune of 'Martyrdom, Glad
stone led the morning psalm:
Be merciful to me. God;
Thy mercy unto me
Do thou extend. because my soul
Doth put her>trust in thee.
There was a pathos about his singing
that made him, to his establishment find
that he was singing almost a solo to the
weeping accompaniment of many. The
premier of England. in ringing tones
sang that penitential cry to God Hold
ing the helm of the great empire, every
one felt that it was true that he put his
trust in God

CHANGING FRONT.

We regard the war with Spain as
having been necessary ana lheNltdDie'
but denounce the hesitation, vaccination
and weakness of the administration IN
carrying it on.
The foregoing plank from the Demo-
cratic plstform should meet the hearty
anproyal of the Salt Lake Tribune. 1t
is in full accord with the editorials
which appeared in that independent
organ UP to the day of the Republican
state convention.
To ascertain exactly how many diff
ferent kinds of a rascal Alger Is, see
the Tribune.
To determine how incompetent the
administration has shown itself i'll the
conduct of the war, turn through the
Tribune files.
Our neighbor complained of the cow
ardiee, indifference and INDIGESTION of
the president pending the declaration
of war. But that was before the Re-
publican state platform had been made.
The organ denounced the vacillation
and corruption of the war department
in no uncertain terms. But that, too,
was before Arthur Browns conven-
ton had been held.
1t criticised the conduct of the war
all through, but its policy hadn't been
determined by the state convention.
Now that these things have been at
tended to, the crack of Arthur's lash
resounds and our neighbor begins its
weary task of grinding out excuses for
the administration, for Alger and for
the Republican party.
1t wanted amy coordination to beat
the Democrats out of their boots" 1t
has formed the best alliance possible
under the circumstances, and. to all
appearances, is obliged to endorse the
administration as a consideration.
