METHODS OF LAYING STREETCAR RAI1s.
TO AVOID INJURY TO ASPHALT PAVEMENT AND
LESSEN NOISE.

Washington, Dec. 2-Street railway companies in
the United States will be interested in report just
made 10 the State Department by Consul Hughes, at
Coburg in regard the various attempts that have
been made in Germany TO devise means TO counter
act the destructive influence exerted by the passage
OF heavy electric tramcsrs upon asphalt pavements
Hitherto, he says. these endeavors have been with
definite results, but much has been said lately in
praise Of a system which shortly TO be subjected
10 a practical test in Berlin. He continues:
Contrary 20 ordinary practice, in which the tram
rails laid Immediately upon foundation Of con-
crete and in direct contact with the superimposed
asphalt, the method consists in laying the rails
upon a bed Of coarse gravel and running a line Of
hardwood blocks along either side. Experience has
shown that ordinary pavements, with gravel and
stone foundations in place of concrete, offer the
greatest resistance TO the influence Of eectrc cars
The new method is also depended on TO reduce the
noise caused by the running over the lines.

WHY THEY ARE WITH BRYAN.

The Ogden State Journal, the only
exponent of silver Republican senti-
ments in Utah. says that Republicans
who go about pretending to represent
Lincoln Republicanism and to assail
the Democrats of today for opposing
Lincoln, are political swindlers who
are trying to gain support and votes
through false pretenses.
There have been change and evolu-
ton in both parties" says the State
Journal. "The Republican party is no
longer the party Of the people; it has
become an instrument in the hands of
selfish, designing men to Cypress the
masses and deprive them of their lib
critics, while the Democratic party has
changed places with it and has become
the party of progress and reform, the
hope and reliance of all men and
women who yet believe in a govern
ment Of the people, by the people and
for the people"
And this is the reason old-time Re-
publicans who cannot carry the Ham,
ilton idea Of Capitalization to the Hanna
policy of imperialism and trust control
of legislation, are in sympathy and
accord with the Democracy Of Jeffer-
son and Bryan and the Americanism
Of Bryan and Lincoln.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-03-27
UTAH IN LUCK.

Utah is getting full share of the
good things. They are coming in
punches. as it were. There was the
visit of Mr.. Bryan with it's inspiration
to the plain people and it's ENCOURAGE
ment to the friends of silver and libar-
ty. following right after weeks of beau
tiful weather in the middle Of the win-
ter. Then came the rains of last night.
which seem to be widespread and are
of incalculable value to the state.
Adverse legislation may be piled up,
the oftice-holder may cavort and proph-
esq to his hearts content, the malcon-
tent may sing dirges and the storm
starter do his level best to discredit
the home Of his choice, but the whole
bloomin' aggregation can't keep Utah
from forging ahead with the develop
ment Of her illimitable resources when
Providence and the rains work together
for the agriculturist, the miner and the
merchant, as they do this year.
The Herald believes there is more
profit in rustling for the good of the
commun ~ and shouting the advan-
tage5 Of a residence here than in all the
heavy grooming that can be done Now
is the time to shout and do it with the
spirit and the understanding. Utah
is getting there. and nothing but cat
aclvs::a can stop it.

NEGLIGENT CENSORS.

President Mckinley should enforce
MS censorship a little more strictly.
A Philippine editor has Just been
thrown into Jail and his newspaper
confiscated. Several cases of the same
kind We're reported from Cuba during
The military rule Of General Brooke.
But there are others who murmur at
the benevolent dominion of our great
and good president, who wants to hold
and to govern them outside of the
constitution
mere are few newspapers in Porto
Rico that should be suppressed. They
are unwise enough TO echo the plea of
the Porto Riean people for justice and
mercy. The San Juan Diario says:
The United States, the people who took
up arms against unjust taxation, are
denying Porto Rico free tradei They
are denying liberty and impairing per-
sonal rights when it comes TO dealing
with people outside of their own contf7
nent! Now force, oppression. expIoita-
ton can keep a race in serVitude but
can never create happy and contented
citizens, unless their sense of dignity and
OF justice is totally extinguished.
This is lese majestic, if not down.
right treason! That the president of
this republic himself recommended alb
sobute free trade between the mainland
and the island about three months ago
furnishes no excuse for this editor. His
excellency has exercised his royal pre-
negative and changed his mind since
then; He is still taking mental exer-
else on the syndicate turning-pole and
no vulgar cfamor for bread should in
terfere with this, his favorite pastime.
There is another Porto Rican news
paper whose editor should be confined
in some inherited dungeon. 1t is the
San Juan Correspondence, which
offers tie following protest against
putting tariff duties on the trade of
Porto Rico with the United States:
Our disilluslonment has been cruel. We
trusted in wise and just government
and We see il conquered by trusts. And
the nation which bases law upon the
consent of the governed has a million
souls under its sovereignty, yet does not
consult their wishes, against which it
imposes burdensome fiscal laws.
Another says that the Porto Rican
people may trust the American masses
if the administration has broken faith
with them. 'The people of this repub-
lie, always just and .magnanimous, it
says, will rise up and become our
champions, saying: Our flag floats
over free peoples only; and if Porto
Rico is to be held in the condition Of
subject colony, let that flag first be
hauled down.
What il the censor doing? Cannot
this appeal to the American sense of
honor and love of justice be sup
pressed
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-03-27
UTAH REMAINS TRUE.

Those weakened Democrats who
have thought Utah was ready TO aban-
don silver, honest legislation and the
rights of the people as against gold,
banking monopoly and corporation con-
troll Of congress ought to be pretty well
convinced Of their error by this time.
The cordial reception given Mr.. King
everywhere he goes, eliminating in
the tremendous ovations given the
speakers in Ogden and this city on
Saturday, would convince the shakiest
of doubling Thomases that the plain
people know which way their interest
lies, and intend to vote that way.
Mr.. Kings candidacy received an i'm
petus at those meetings that makes his
election certain by a strong majority.
The tens Of thousands of voters who
gathered to hear Mr.. Bryan in Ogden
and Salt Lake included the best men
of the state. They represented con-
stituencies that control the issue of
next Mondays election They showed
by their presence and enthusiasm that
the cause Of silver is as dear to the
voters Of Utah as it ever was; that a
government by the trusts and for the
trusts has few friends among the men
Of the mountain states, and that the
constitution of the United States is still
cherished as the embodiment Of the re-
publics highest law.
The great gatherings of Saturday
were but forerunners of a greater gath
ering at the polls next Monday to elect
Mr.. King and record conclusions al
ready reached.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-03-27
TRUE TO PRINCIPLE.

In his speech Hon. Fred Dubois said
that Mr.. Bryan stands Just where he
did four years ago." That is the trouble
Tribune.
OF course, that is one reason our
morning contemporary has no use for
him. No man who remains steadfast
to principle can retain its respect. If
Mr.. Bryan had surrendered to the gold
bugs. had he been convinced by Mark
Hanna that silver is a dead issue. had
he concluded that even International
bimetallism was a dead issue, he would
suit the local goldbug organ a great
deal better.
Had he become reconciled to the
thieves and i1nbeciles in control Of
our national affairs; had he diseov-
cred that the 'rascally gang of rogues
and worse than murderers who permit
ted our boys to die in droves from in
Competent management and neglect"
were the only friends of the soldier:
had he made up his mind to subscribe
to that form OF patriotism represented
by the Hann2-Platt-E Ikins syndicate
at the head of the government. who
hold that quest .ons of national honor
can be figured up by a bookkeeper and
settled with certified check" az the
Salt Lake Tribune has repeatedly de-
clared, he would find extended to him
the gilt-edged hand of fellowship to-
day.

WOOL TARIFFS AND PRICES.

ut is a most singular fact that for
more than sixty years in the United
States the price of wool has increased
just in proportion to the protection
extended to the staple, and has de-
clined in the same way when the pro-
lection has been more or less with
drawn" says the local Republican or
gan.
1t is not a singular, but an actual
fact that the records show nothing of
the kind. Statistics are compiled on
the basis of the price of Ohio fleece
washed WOOL which commands about
double the price of wool sold to the
dealer in Utah.
In 1858 coarse wool was listed at so
cents per pound. In 1866 it had in
creased to So cents under comparative
free trade. a protective tariff. a war
tax, was then levied and in ten years
the price of wool had fallen to A cents
per pound. In 1867 an increase in the
wool tariff was made, but in 1872 there
was reduction of 10 per cent on the
previous rates. In 1875 The price of wool
had advanced to Al cents per pound.
But the old rates were restored that
year and by 1885 wool had fallen to 20
cents.
The following year Cleveland was
lnaugurated and the production of wool
IN the United States increased from
212,OOOOO0 pounds to 3OS, OOO,O 900 pounds
per annum without any fall in the
price. In 1895 the price was 10 cents,
and last year, although it was % and
80 cents, the price was better in London
than it was in Boston for several
months. These figures are taken from
the treasury statistical abstract and
from Fiber and Fabric" published in
Boston. They are given as actual. not
singular facts.
1t has not been a week since the
local Republican organ printed figures
from London trade and financial Jour
nal showing an Increase in the price of
Australian woods that has never been
approached in this country. Was this
accomplished by the Dingley schedule?
IL 1t can do such wonders abroad. whv
ISM 1t doing something of the kind FOR
our own woolgrowers?
