The most that Mark Smiths news paper supporters have been able to say
 for him in this cam
 THAT paign is that he has q
 CLEAN clean record" What RECORD" constitutes a clean rec
 ord? Does the fact that a man who has been honOred by sev- tral terms in congress has done nothing to advance the interests of his constit- uents make a clean record? To us it looks more like no record at all.
 We have repeatedly asked MT. Smiths friends to tell us what he has done during his long career as a leg islator" to entitle him to a reelection, but so far they have confined them selves to vague references to his clean record" The word record" in the sense that we have used it means "The aggregate of known facts in q persons life. especially in that Of public man." What, We ask. are the known facts" in connection with Smiths career in congress? Why. simply that he was good fellow" a good story teller in the house cloak rooms, q companion of genial souls like himself in congress who shy" at hard work ana yet man age to create the impression at home that they are continually cutting large cakes of ice We submit that facts" of this nature are of no value to a con stituency. The "aggregate' in Mr. Smiths case does not constitute suffi- cient basis for his reappearance as a candidate before the people of Arlzo- ma.
 In all fairness Col. Wilson was enti- tied to a renomination. He entered the campaign two years ago against a pop ular republican and won after an ex- tremely hard fight. Mir Smith. who thought he smelled defeat in case he should run against Colonel Rrodie. de- clined a renomination.

 BRYAN trader, In 1894. when
 ATTACKS told that his policy
 LABOR. would destroy the Amer
 can rate of wages. he replied by Haunting over the head of his printed speech the proverb: "BSt- ter is little with righteousness than great revenues without right" Surely workingmen must think of ,he Adevil quoting scripture N hen told they must come down in their wages and accept poverty in the name of right.
 With equal fanaticism Bryan says now. the first thing he would like to do as president would be "to take off every collar of protective tariff on the pro- duets of mills in trusts"
 Here is the open thu eat to osweepaway all protection from nine-tenths of the protected manufactures of the coun- try. for all that number are large cor porations. The Bryan cut would be de- structive to wages in the steel, iron. glass. tin plate. oil. paint, lumber, su- gar. paper and other leading Indus tries
 Bryan's threal, is backed up by the democratic platform in all its ruinous radicalsm. It pledges that "our tariff laws be amended by placing the pro- ducts of trusts on the free list" There is recipe for hard dimes. No dis crimination between corporations. hut absolute stripping of protection from all. even where a combination has ra- duced prices to th= consumer.
 The man who burned his barn to get rid of the rats was not half so reckless as is Bryan. who would endanger the wages of millions of employees in order to be revenged on a few thousand em" ployers for opposing his ambition to be president. BryaI's destruction of American wages and industry would be worse than the wreckage caused by the proverbial bull in tn china shop.

In his speech before the Chicago con ference on trusts. September lG. 1899.
 William Jennings Bry-
 BRYAN'S an said: "One trust
 OWN magnate may be more
 TRUST. benevolent than an
 other. but there is no good monopoly in private hands. and l do not believe it is safe for any man or group of men to monopolize any article of merchandise or any branch of industry" Rather broad state ment that. MT. Bryan is much given to radical statements. but one would have thought he would have stopped short of denouncing any monopoly of any article of merchandise"
 It is over a year since Bryan made that speech denouncing each and every monopoly. but he is repeating the same doctrine today October 10, he asked in his speech at Nashville, Michigan: Do you know of any good monopoly in private hands? Do you know of any man good enough tn stand at the head of any monopoly, and determine the price of that which others are to use?'
 Well. there is q certain book known as The First Battle" which is an article of merchandise. and an absolute monopoly in w. J. Bryan's hands. fp many poor men. who have felt that they must have it. On the reverse side of the title page of that interest," ing work we read
 Entered according to Act of Con gress. in the year 1896. by William J. Bryan. in the office of the Librarian of Congress. at Washington. D. c. All Rights Reserved.
 On the next page Is a warning by the publishers against any fraudulent limitations"
 And there you are.
 This is the absolute. law-protected monopoly which in four years has made William J. Bryan a rich man. II it were not for Bryan's absolute mono poly of the book, farmers, working men and the horny handed sons of toll in general could have secured the work for one-third or even a quarter of what they have had to pay for it. No honest man will deny Mir. Bryan right to his book, or his privilege to make what he can out of it. It has always been the policy of this country to respect the rights of authors, and to give them q monopoly, or, as the law puts it. "an exclusive right" to their works. The wrong is that q man enjoying this special protection, and getting rich by making poor men pay d higher price than he could get under the free printing of his book and free trading in it,-shOuld in his selfshness declare that other people shall enjoy no such privilege, but have every vestige of protection taken away from them.s
 A fine man that to set up as an instructor for the liberal hearted, pro tection favoring people of America! Would Bryan destroy all patents too? They are monopolies, one and all. like his copyright.

PRODUCTION Of COAL
Immense Output in the United
States for 1899.
WAS THE BANNER YEAR
ESTIMATED AT $50, 1898, e7s LONG
TONS.
Total Value of this Enormous Pro-
duct is S259, 435, 412, an Increase
of S51 100000 Over Previous
Years-Utah's Share is 787, 25S
Short Tons.

Washington, April 22.-According to re-
turns representing between so and 90 per
cent Of the total tonnage, the production
of coal in the United States in 1899 is es-
timated by Edward W. Parker, statisti-
clan of the United States geological sur
vey, to have amounted to go SIS, 973 long
tons, equivalent to 25S.5S9 600 short tons.
AS compared with the production in 1898,
when the product amounted to lS6, 4O5, 953
long tons. or 219,974667 short tons, this
indicates an increase of over 81 600. 600 long
tons, or us per cent. These figures ex-
coed by is, 900, 900 short tons the outside
estimates heretofore made on the coal
tonnage for 1899
The production of 900, 600. 900 short tons in
1893 was nearly 10000 900 in excess of that
in 1897. and both of these years were ban
ner years in the industry. 1t is not i'm
possible that the figures for 1899 as esti-
mated, may be somewhat reduced by later
and more complete returns. and in fact,
this may be predicted as probable, but
even d reduction of 100000 tons would not
amount TO ? per cent of error in the total.
The total value of this enormous pro-
duction is estimated at SIS, 435, 4i2. an in
crease of over S51, 900 000, OF practically 20
per cent over the value of the product in
1898
Another interesting and unusual feature
of coal production in 1899 was the fact that
there was an advance in price. the first
instance of the kind in ten years.

output for 1893 is shown in table, in
