road which must surely lead to an ap-
palling ruin unless vigorous efforts are
at once made to retrieve that desperate
plunge which was made by the men,
oers Of the Indian government in 1898.
when they closed the minis to silver
coinage and practically deprecated the
currency of the country 80 per cent in
value in the effort to establish the gold
standard
Thomas w. Levin, lecturer on poIti-
cal economy at Cambridge, writes as
follows: I'VE see what a profound feel
ing of social discomfort this suspension
of The free coinage of silver is engen-
dering, and many competent authori-
ties think that this has been the main
cause of the recent frontier disturb
ances. If our Indian government offic-'
ials preserve any touch of sympathy
with their native dependents, they
would surely realize the extreme danger
of the present monetary situation in
India
Referring to this same condition,
Thomas Christie North, late member
of the legislative council of Ceylon, not
long since spoke as follows: nave
just returned from the east, where the
baneful effects of the 1898 policy are
terribly in evidence, and the new policy
seems so unsound, such a reversal of
the usually accepted duties of a gov
eminent to its people in the matter of
currency, that one would have expected
its adoption to have been preceded by
the widest and most searching in
quiry.''
With even the goldites protesting,
London newspapers describing the ruin
and decentralization which have fol-
lowed six years of the gold standard in
India, it is indeed a surprise that the
parliamentary committee adopted the
report it has just submitted.

UNAPPREClATED PATRIOTISM.

1t was a real old-fashioned Fourth
that New Haven, Conn, enjoyed 1t
was a little too old-fashioned. When
the first few anniversaries OF our ma
tional independence were celebrated
amid the rattle of British musketry and
the roar Of cannon, the noise could not
have been much more deafening nor
the damage more alarming in the old
New England towns than New Haven
experienced on the Fourth of the pres
ent month and for several days there
after.
1t was all the fault of one Michael
Sartito who made and sold brand Of
fire crackers that double discounted
anything of the kind on the market and
held the entire populace at bay until
lull in the excitement enabled the Off
GERS to capture the supplies and issue
a protocol to the small boys who were
having the fun of their lives.
These fire crackers were harmless
enough in appearance, but the havoc
wrought in New Haven shows how de-
ceitful were their looks. Sheds were
blown down, houses damages, holes

windows shattered as if it had been
an earthquake instead Of a national
demonstration
Michael has been arrested as a dan
gerous character. If this is the way his
patriotism is treated in this land Of the
free and home of the fire cracker he
will doubtless be tempted TO forswear
his allegiance to the starry banner and
return TO Italy or Ireland whence he
came.

CT AIMING "CoUslN GEORGE"

Dewey is in great demand. Not only
is he receiving marked attention at
every port he enters. but the Sublime
Porte is making especial preparations
TO receive and entertain him when he
reaches the Mediterranean.
Other nationalities are claiming a
share of the responsibility for his exist
ence, too. The French say that he
belongs in part to them on the ground
that he descends from a Huguenot fam
lily named De Huey. The Belgians say
he is one of their De Weys. And Mr..
Dooley of Chicago maintains that he
is of Irish descent, but that he gave
the 'l'' in his name to the Spanish,
which leaves him Admiral DOGGY"
These foreign cousins, together with
the large number who have revealed
their identity here at home since the
battle of Manila bay, indicate that,
wherever the tree sprouted, it has been
a phenomenally fecund family. or else
the world is wonderfully prolific in
boastful liars.

THE COLONIES IMPERIALISM.

Devotion to the golden calf begets a
fondness for titles. It is a part of this
Imperialism which has seized upon the
administration and its adherents to
bestow upon others and appropriate for
themselves civil and military titles,
which custom they imagine pleases 9TH
ers as it sOothes and satisfies their own
peculiar vanity. And men who have
gone through life content with the
simple and sufficient appellation of
Tom, Dick or Pat begin to put on airs
the moment they are admitted to the
mystic order of St. Mark and to pick
out the title that suits them best while
they distribute those remaining among
the gentlemen they desire to honor
most.
There is such a case in process of de-
velopment here in Utah. Once he
scorned Mark Hanna Once ne repu-
dated the Republican platform. Once
he declared that his silver lance should
never be lowered until Mckinley and
his goldbug horde were driven from the
seat of government. Once he said: I'VE
want no Philippines in ours" Once he
wanted Arthur Brown hanged for trea-
son because he remained in the ma
tional convention to which he had been
sent as a delegate. But that was be-
fore the recent trip to Washington to
be present at the obsequies over the
silver cause.
1t is different now. After looking over
the choice assortment of titles that
imperialists necessarily keep on hand,
he selected that of Colonel for him
self and announced himself through
leading daily newspaper of the capital
city as Colonel Pat Lannan, the wide
ly known editor OF the Salt Lake Trib-
une." How he must have strutted be-
fore the mirrors of the Ebbitt House
when ne first put that title on. No
doubt he inquired of every policeman he
met if it was on straight. And how
carefully it was busted and donned the
day he went TO call on the treasury Of
hcials in the interest of that public
building site which, up to that moment,
had such an excellent chance TO win!
But what cared he when the title was
secure?
Then he was allowed to select a few
titles to bring home for his particular
friends. These have been distributed
in a manner to show the generosie of
his forgiving spirit. One. Arthur Brown,
we believe, is now a prince of good fell
lows. Another is a duke. Still another
he calls count And so on, in his

evident that Rome was again the mis-
tress and center of the European world.
And her influence, as a whole, was
beneficial, making for righteousness,

The Latin language and literature were
preserved; the Roman church music
was brought into common use and,
most important of all, the bond Of
union was preserved.
Owing to various causes which cannot
be discussed here. the temporal power
of the papacy declined, and the popes

THERE ARE OTHERS.

A contemporary which discourses
leamedly upon the amenities Of jour-
naIism and the attitude of a decent
newspaper, quotes from an alleged
pamphlet by Edward Atkinson concern
ing the struggle of the Filipinos for lib
erty, and says: 1.-The old liar and ass
does not know what liberty means"
Now, of course, that is very convinc-
ing. 1t proves nothing against Atkin-
son, refutes nothing in the pamphlet,
and only shows the well known liter
airy style and parliamentary manners
of the contemporary in carrying on a
discussion.
Mr.. Atkinson may be old, even to
childishness. He may be a liar who
could give Ananias spades and cards
and beat him out. He may be an ass
by the side of which Baalams cele-
brated steed might sink into the insig-
rificance of a Rocky mountain burro.
But there are others, and the contem-
porary should remember the adage
about the glass and the stones.
Besides. Mr.. Atkinson may have a

iNpIA's GOLD STANDARD.

Those who still hug the delusion that
there is hope abroad for bimetallism
are referred to the decision of the Brit
ish government not to revert to the
coinage of silver IN the Indian minis.
The report of the parliamentary COM
,nittee on Indian currency, announced
in yesterdays dispatches, reads like a
Mckinley platform and concludes as
follows: 1.-THE effective establishment
OF a gold standard is of paramount i'm
portance to the material interests of
India, not only TO promote existing
trade, but to encourage the influx of
capital
1t must be confessed that, potent as
the influences are in Europe which are
able TO stretch an arm across the sea
and control an election and shape legis-
lation in this country, this decision
comes in the nature Of a surprise and
q disappointment. One gold advocate
after another has conceded the failure
of the gold standard in India.
Sir Robert Gifiin, one of the leading
goldites Of Great Britain. has urged
upon parliament repeatedly during the

saying that the gold standard has
worked great injury to India"

HOW TRUSTS ARE DEFENDED.


Nearly all the trust defenders make
use of subtle argument in advancing
their cause, and it is this: The wages
paid by the tin trust and other trusts
are very much higher than the wages
paid in some countries where the work
accomplished is really less and the ne
cessities of life cost a great deal more
This, they hold, is a reason why trusts
should be maintained, and why the
Democratic party, in its war upon
these combinations of capital, should
be defeated at the polls.
But it is a fact, and their attorneys
know it, that trusts are able to in
crease wages without benefiting the
cause of labor in the least. Ten mills
combine as the tin plate factories have
united under one management. This
is a trust. Before the consolidation
each mill employed 300 hands; each
employee earned $500 a year on an av-
erage, let us say, for the sake of the
illustration; each laborer had at least
three persons dependent upon him for
sustenance. Then there were travelling
statesmen, agents who put the product
upon the market, for there was COM
petition among these concerns, the
benefit of which the consumers got. if
earned $1,000 each per annum, the to-
tai number of men employed by the
ten factories would be 800. they
would earn s1,7OO,OOO a year, maintain
themselves and $500 other persons.
The trust is perfected. 1t is decided
to close half of the mills in operation.
This throws more than 1 800 people out
of work, and those depending upon
them for the necessities of life upon
the world. 1t reduces the total wage
earnings one-half. The production is
curtailed, the market is cornered,
prices are easily regulated, the expense
of administration is taken from ten
separate companies and centered in
one. and then wages are raised 10 per
cent, which furnishes a theme for pro-
tectionists to preach from and point
out the benefits of organized capital
to the laboring men.
This is but one illustration. There
are scores of trusts locking up their ex-
ira mills and factories, industries that
used to operate the year around and
employ hundreds and thousands of men.
They sometimes increase wages 10 per
cent More often they decrease wages.
They always discharge about so per
cent of their men. If there is any real
benefit to the cause of labor in this,
then trust defenders are entitled to
verdict from the people.

The result was succession of popeS
