,RfHY THE WEST is RICH.

One of the financial journals has
little summary Of money conditions
that is decidedly cheerful from the
American standpoint. 1t says we have
sold $50 900. 900 worth Of San Francisco
buildings TO Europe, which has paid
for them mostly in gold exported 10 this
country. We have borrowed over there
about $500, 900 900, mostly on time loans
and running largely into next spring.
Now we are giving England 100000
bushels of wheat per week, and we are
giving Europe 100000 pounds Of cop
per per month ct a cost to her of nearly
IS. 900 900 per month, and English agents
in this country are buying all the cot
ton they can put their hands on because
English spinners must have it for the
Orient and all the islands of the sea
that are now consuming cotton as never
before.
With Mr.. Shaw's assistance, we took
the English gold for San Francisco and
on time loans, and now she must pay
gold for her daily bread. She must buy
her coffee on rising market hereafter,
as. despite Lord Rothschild's protest,
Brazil puts an export tax of about half
a cent a pound on coffee Dec. I. What
this means may be judged from the fact
that the United States buys about $780,,
900, 900 Of coffee per annum from Brazil.
American cotton exports in Septem-
Der were above s25,OO0,0OO, or about &c.
900, 900 per week, and we are sending
abroad $4,000 900 of meat and dairy
products per week. England calls her
grain markets her corn" markets, and
we are sending to England and the con-
tinent more than $4,000 900 of bread
stuffs per week.
The Bank of England has had to
raise its rate to per cent from no other
causes than these four Cs, which do not
spell calamity for America-these are
corn, cotton, copper and coffee.
While the grain states are contribut-
ing their share to the national pros
perity with their big crops, and the
comes I'm strong on copper production
at high prices and, incidentally, is pour
ing out gold at a rate that is accounta-
Bile in measure for the general rise
in prices of commodities Copper and
gold, lead and silver make four strong
factors in the phenomenal growth of
the west, particularly OF the group of
intermountain states most affected by
the output Of these metals. There could
be no better indication of conditions
here than the marvellous growth of the
mining industry, the rapid rise Of the
mining communities and the conse-
quent demand for supplies from their
people, a demand that spells wealth for
the farmer. the merchant, the trans
portation lines. and for every citizen
who is fortunate enough to be located
! in this region.

disturbance at home because these two
factions have been strong enough to
turn the state into an arena where they
wage their destructive warfare, keep
the people, in a turmoil. disturb bust
ness and embitter neighbor against
neighbor.
In way the situation is much the
same as follows a great strike where
the employers and employed refuse TO
consider any reasonable settlement
while the whole community suffers and
eventually pays the price of the fight.
With such a situation before the peo-
pie of Utah and particularly i'm the
county of Salt Lake there can be only
one way of settling the difficulty ana
that is by defeating both the "Amerl-
cans and the Republicans. If either
of them wins the other faction VIII

both are defeated it will compel re-
organization of the Republican party
it viii inevitably compel the disSoiu-
ton of the Americans" who are held
together largely by the cohesive power
of city spoils and the hope OF county
spoils. 1t will put in office Democrats
who are pledged to oppose all the in
fluences which have been the chief
source of the difficulty, II will give the
public an administration of public office
for the benefit OF all the people-not a
faction or a machine.
In word, the election of the Demo-
cratic ticket would restore politics in
Utah to the plane on which 1t belongs
the plane where a man can vote on
real political issues without being dis
tracted by the petty quarreis ana lg-
noble motives of factions.

A Rope Bridge In India.

In his article on ibex-shooting in
Baltiststan in Harper's for March,
Mr.. j. G. Grew tells of a remarka-
BILE rope bridge built by natives
across the Indus.
AT the end of a long march of
thirty-one miles," says M. Grew,
four hours in the morning over a
bad trail of difficult climbs and steep
descents and seventeen miles in the
afternoon to Tarkutti we came upon
our first rope bridge across the In
dus. The ingenuity of the natives
in making such a bridge with no
material but twisted twigs, strong
enough to hold the weight of any
number IF coolies with their loads
anu long enough to be swung from
cliff to elf across this great river is
a source of wonder. Yet there il
swings with three strands of twisted
twigs one for each hand to grasp
one to guide the feet sagging grace

cliffs that flank the river occasionally

Collisions at sea are fruitful of
