TRUST PROSPERITY" FIGURES.

To find out the exact share Of pros
perity'' that has come to the farmer
and laborer 10 the past two years, The
Herald has secured from the ner-
chants and manufacturers of Salt Lake
a careful schedule OF prices based en-
their present market quotations. The
figures are exact and show just what
is paid the producer for his goods, and
what the consumer must pay for the
manufactured articles he uses.
Summarized. the schedule shows that
the farmer, laborer, miner or livestock
man is paying from 10 to 245 per cent
more than he has paid at any time dur
ing the past two years on articles he
uses. while his labor and his produce
have advanced on the average less than
10 per cent, and in the case Of wheat
one Of the great farm products-the de-
crease amounts TO % per cent since
1898, and 20 per cent since 1899.
These facts show who is appropri-
ating the prosperity" Of which the Re
publican orators talk so glibly. No one
questions the fact that prices have
gone up; nor viii any honest man
question the statement that the trusts
have absorbed all the gain, and more.
But no honest man in the face Of the
facts viii pretend for an instant that
the farmers or the laborers-the men
who produce wealth-have benefited by
the Republican legislation which has
made the trusts thrive and fatten at
the consumers expense.
Here are the figuI IS:

THEIR LEADING ADVOCATE.

Tom Fitch represents fairly well the
attitude of the Republican party Of to-
dav. Principles count for little or
nothing with him; he would as soon ad-
vocate one cause as another. Con-
sistency is a jewel he would pawn if he
happened to accidentally come into
possession of il for a moment. He is
eloquent without the essential of sin
certify; he is brilliant, but his genius
has been perverted. The honesty Of
purpose and strength of character
which shine through the speeches Of
real and abiding orators and statesmen
are lacking in the wordy flights Of this
typical exponent of modern Republican,
ism.
He always claimed to believe in the
free and independent coinage Of silver
until the national Republican commit
tee secured his services four years ago.
In the middle of the campaign of 1896
he became an ardent goldbug. In the
language Of another, conditions
changed" with him then and there. So
he removed from Arizona to New York.
Conditions have changed a little more
slowly with some others who are now
whooping things up for Mr.. Fitch.
When he hired out to the goldbug
committee in 1896 the Salt Lake Tribune
said:
Hon. Thomas Fitch is out for the gold
standard. This was TO be expected. Fitch
is a dyed-in-the wool Republican and he
would follow the name even after the
substance had passed out of it. There
is no one who understands the silver
question better than he; there is no one
who knows so well that the chiefest woes
of our country are due to the demOnetiza-
ton of silver.
Fitch doesn't necessarily believe what
he breaches. it isn't a question of
right or wrong. but a matter of pro-
fessional employment with him. He is
an ACTOR who would as willingly play
one part as another, provided the sal
airy was the same. He likes to move
his audiences that be may laugh in his
sleeve at them afterwards. His assert
ment of political gold bricks is always
for sale. AS the local Republican or
gan has said of him:
The trouble with Fitch is that for some
reason the impression which he makes
on a platform swiftly passes out OF men,
FINDS. The reason is, they have an idea
he could talk lust as well on the other
side If he tried.
And. from all accounts, this is true,
He has been known 20 change sides in
a single day-in the course of an argu-
nert. even. It is related OF him that,
in the discussion of the Chinese exclu-
sion act in San Francisco several years
ago. he spoke Tor thirty minutes
TO a large audience on the rights of the
Chinaman as human being TO full
fellowship in the brotherhood of man,
and denounced ia fierce invective those
who would refuse him the hospitality
and opportunities of this government
when the chairman of he meeting
pulled Toms cost tail and whispered:
This meeting was called III favor Of
exclusion; you're on the other side"
and these" resumed Fitch. without
a show Of embarrassment, ARE the des-
picsble arguments of the dastardly op-
ponents of exclusion. And he proceed
ed to talk an hour on the other side.
The Tribune tells this story, which
illustrates its own, as well as Fitch's

HOW ABOUT LEAD?

chased organs.

delirium tremens? Or is it simply the
ghost dance of an unreclaimed say

What point does this frantic organ
hope to establish by its hysterical out
break over the lead question? Does it
not know that both Judge King and
Senator Rawlins voted to double the
tariff on lead? Is this why it opposes
Judge King? Does it prefer the cleo
ton OF n candidate who would vote for
a removal OF the lead tariff should the
dead trust demand it? Then its sup
port Of J. Trust Hammond is easily ac-
counted for.

A prominent Republican of this city
relates that during a campaign in Ne

was a candidate. Fitch wrote two
speeches, one burning up the senator.

politician and proposed to give sharon

Considering these figures, do the
voters Of Utah want TO elect a con-
gresham who will advocate more trust
legislation? Do they want to perpetu-
ate a money system that enables a few
men to put the price Of living still high

still lower whenever they feel like it?
DO they like accent wheat and S0-cent

of the leading wagon. The shout of

of scurry on the ridge ahead brought
the engineer and aid-de-camp spring

manly part in the coming fray. 1t

but that appropriately named non
combatant never showed outside. An
instant more and to the sound of rising
thunder, before the astonished eyes of
the cavalry line there burst into view,
full tear for safety, the uncouth, yet
marvelously swift-running leaders of
the little herd. The whole dozen came
flying across the sky line and down
the gentle slope, heading well around
to the left of the line of troopers, while
sticking to their TANKS like red net
ties half a dozen warriors rode like
the wind on their nimble ponies, crack
ing away with revolver or rifle in say

much for Burleigh's nerve was the
combination of sounds, thunder OF
hoofs and sputter of shots, for when 4
cheer of sympathetic delight went up
from the soldier line at the sight of the
chase, and the young engineer sprang
to the door of the ambulance to help
the major out, he found him limp and
ghastly heap. quivering with terror in
the bottom OF the wagon, looking for
all the world as if he were trying to
crawl under the seat.

tainted air and slowly, wonderingly
drawing near the stricken leader as
though to ask what allied him. Obe-
dent and docile the Indian ponies stood
with dropping heads, hidden under
the shelter of the steep banks. Nearer
and nearer came the big black animals,
bulky, stupid, fatuous; the foremost
lowered huge head to sniff at the
blood oozing from the shoulder of the
dying bull, then two more shots pulled
out from the ravine, the huge head
tossed suddenly in air, and the un-
calmly brute started and staggered,
whirled about and darted few yards
away, then plunged on it's knees, and
the next moment, startled at some
sight the soldier watchers could not

the depths of the watercourse, dis
appeared one moment from sight, then,
suddenly reappearing, came laboring
up the hither side, straight for the
crest on which they lay, dozen black,
bounding, painting beasts laundering
over the ground, followed by half
dozen darting Indian ponies, each with
his 1.-the rider scurrying in pursuit.
''Out of the way, men! Don't fire!"
shouted Dean. And, scrambling back
toward their horses, the lieutenant
and his men drew away from the front
of the charging herd, invisible as yet
to the halted troop and to the occu-
pants of the ambulance, whose eager
heads could be seen poked out at the
side doors of the leading vehicle, as
though watching for the cause of the
sudden halt.
And then thing happened that at
least one man saw and fortunately
remembered later. Bryan, the trum-
peter, with jabbing heels and tapping
arms, was tearing back toward the
troop at the moment at the top speed
of his gray charger, already so near
that he was shouting to the sergeant
in the lead. BY this time, too, that vet
eran trooper, with the quick sense of
duty that seemed to inspire the war
time sergeant, had jumped his little
column ''front into line" to meet the
unseen danger; so that now, with car
bines advanced, some thirty blue jack
cts were aligned in the loose fighting
order of the prairies in front of the
foremost wagon. The sight of the dis
tant officer and men tumbling hur-
riedly to one side, out of the way pre-
surnably of some swiftly-coming peril,
acted like magic on the line. Carbines
were quickly brought to ready, the
gun locks cracking in chorus as the
