with nineteen feet of water In tho dock. at 2
o'clock in tho afternoon. The water was then
pumped down to a level OF eleven feet and left
for the night. A small leakage developed under
the northern end of the gate. and this was
stopped by a diver. who plugged the hole with
oakum. As the water fell there were several
points at which seepage water from behind the
dock walls came through the open seams be-
tween the tlmbers into the dock. but this flow
slackened steadily and rapidly, and II was an;
ticipnted that no leaks from the outside will
develop. The dock was left with twenty feet of
water outside the gate.

M'KINLEYIZING THE POST
OFFICES.
POST


Just as fast as the law and the Lord
will permit the misunderstanding of Utah
are being filed with Mckinley Repub-
licans. Offices that Tor years have been
filed by the same person, no matter
what administration was in power, are
being filled with Mckinley Republicans.
single gold standard advocates. Many
of these offices are worth no more
than mere pittance, and no one has
cared for them, as they were hardly
worth the trouble Of attending to them.
What, then. can be the object in fill
ing them with Mckinley Republicans =?
Merely to form an army of Mckinley
workers, and to make a headquarters
for a Republican propaganda. United
States Marshal Miller's letter to that
Dry Fork lady showed this to be the
purpose. She was told in terms that
she was expected to work for the ad-
vancement of the Republican partys
interest whenever her services might
be needed.
The Mckinley administration, the
administration that is doing all in its
power to strengthen the gold stand
ard, is giving the people of Utah such
an object lesson in politics as they
never had before. Do they like it.?
How can they. when they see those eIe-
waited to office who voted and worked
against the best interests of the state
its silver and industrial interests?
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-01-02
TO PROTECT OUR GOLD AND
SILVER.

Twenty-Five years ago, st. Louis, on
the Mississippi, became ambitious and
tried to have the seat of government
moved from Washington there. But
that lofty ambition was never realized,
and not being realized, it became a
dead thing. Now an Arkansas con-
gresham has become ambitious for St
Louis. This congressman is Repre-
sentative McCulloch of the First dis
trict. He would have congress enact
a law requiring all gold and silver in
the United States to be kept in st.
Louis. And why would he have this
done? He would have this done as a
precaution against the loss that the
country might sustain by an attack
upon New York or Washington by a
foreign fleet. "Of course says Repre-
sentative McCulloch, lit is not prob
able that a foreign fleet could levy
tribute upon New York or Washington,
but it is possible, and there ought to
be no chances taken of the loss Of all
the millions OF money that are stored
in the treasury vaults of these two
cities.
My belief is that a national deposit
tory for the surplus bullion in the
treasury should be established in st.
Louis, where it would be absolutely
safe from capture by any foreign
power or a combination of them. 1t
would be possible for all the land forces
which could be raised in the United
States to be modified around st. Louis
before any invading force, no matter
how powerful, could reach there. On
the other hand, if two of the European
powers should combine against the
United States and send their navies
across to attack US, there is grave rea-
son for doubt as to whether the forts
around New York and Washington
would be able to resist the attack. If
either of these cities should be invaded
by a foreign force, all the wealth of the
United States treasury would be the
prize which the invaders would gain"
There is a rare breadth of view and
foresight in the foregoing. When two
nations are at war, and the armies or
fleets of the one seize the commercial
or political capital of the other, the
very first thing those armies or fleets
do is to go to the treasury and get the
gold and silver bullion, and if they find
it has been removed to a place of
safety, they never think of demanding
a money indemnity. but go right away.
If any enemy shall ever get possession
of New York or Washington, the coun-
try will be perfectly willing to give up
all the bullion in the treasury to get
him to Quit our shores.
This is a great scheme of Representa-
tive McCulloch's. And when he got all
the bullion in the treasury removed to
st. Louis, where would he deposit it?
On the ST. Louis platform, thereby
proving that it is actually bimetallic?
