OLYMPIC GAMES AND PEACE.

Anciently. before the beginning OF
the olympic games In the Deaulliu u
plain OF Ellis, heralds proclaimed li'e
,ruce of Cod Throughout Greece
That proclamation put a stop to war
fare and ensured safety to all
The Olympic contests were consie-
.rad sacred. The contestants had To
eweor that they had no stain, religious
or civil. on their character IneS
prepared themselves by sacrifices as
wei as by athletic training.
The Olympic games Just ended IN
london are followed, not preceded oy
n proclamation of peace, for the peaee
congress is just attracting the atten-
lion that has been given for some
nays to the athletic contests,
somehow. the games themselves
have not contributed to the good
Feelings between nations, There nave
been bickering and soreness and some
hitter expressions Several times tins
suggestion has been made that the
american competitors should withdraw
on account OF alleged unfairness on
the part of those having the games
In charge. 1t has been predicted that
never again would American athletes
be induced to go over to compete with
their English cousins-not on British
soil
The differences between the contest
nnts are mostly OF IA trivial nature
One of the most serious contentious
resulted from the tug OF war 1t was
understood that competitors In TINS
game should not wear specially pre-
pared boots, but our American ath-
ietes found their antagonists equipped
with heavy steel spiked shoes, against
which they had absolutely no chance
in competition. Other points NJ con-
tention are less serious, but they have
left the Impression that n fair and
square deal was not always the chief
feature of the recent Olympic games.
The peace congress, We hope, will
serve the purpose of bringing the rep
resentatiVes Of the various nations to-
gether In close union and hasten the
day OF universal good VIII

NEW DANISH TARIFF.

a new tariff law has recently been
the Rigsdag and was signed by the
King on May o, but it VIII not take
effect generally till Jan. /. 1909.
Our representative. Minister Maurice
r. Egan. at Copenhagen. states that
important reductions have been made
in many instances and that duties have
been increased on tobacco. liquors.
silks, and fruits. Petroleum and rice
have been put on the free list.
comparison OF the new tariff with
the old shows that the tariff has been
reduced on the whole, resulting in a de-
crease OF duties of about 10 20 20 per
cent The duties on raw materials and
articles required in manufactures have
been considerably reduced and in
number of cases abolished The duty
on coal has been reduced from "a cents
to cents per ton and is to be entirely
removed in four years. The principal
articles on which reduction of duties
has been made are: Metals and manu-
features thereof, textiles Except silk
and artificial silk). lumber, paper,
paints and dyes, Chemicals, machinery,
etc.
II Is somewhat significant that the
new tariff admits, duty-free, railroad
rails and cast-iron pipes, raw iron wire,
and petroleum-som of the promised
revision of duties in this country In
the case of petroleum, it's price would
be lowered by lowering or abolishing
the duties on products that compebe
with it, as crude alcohol and its price
would be raised by an increase of du-
ties on such products.

THE RECENT EMIGRATION.

Emigration figures for the past few
years, show that, while not seriously
felt in Utah on account of the extern
sive building operations and the con
servative soundness of our banking In
situations. the panic of 1907 has been
a severe one for the country as a whole.
The association Of steamship own
ers have compiled the statistics of both
Immigration and emigration.
In 1897 and 1898 arrivals were about
quarter of a million per year. Then
the immigration-the incoming tide of
foreigners coming to the United States
began to increase at a rapid rate.
In 1899 the number arriving was
SSs,9l1; in 1900, 1885, in 1901, 1853, $50;
in 1902, Ss4, s36; in 1908, S94,926 in 1904.
767, $50; in 1905, 1,OlOSis; and in 1905,
the number of arrivals was 1881 ,146
In 1907, still more arrived, 1856. 1857;
but the number of departures began to
increase For many years the number
Of those leaving this country for for
eign shores averaged under 100000 and
was often less than $4,000.
A different condition Is revealed by
the figures for 1907, when for the first
ten months, though the arrivals still
held the large total Of lao, SIS. the de-
partuTes had risen to the unprecedent-
ed figure of S6S,77S. During the first
half of 1908, the departures We're 800. i46,
as against 1880 arrivals and for the
edEht months since last October the
departures were 6S669S against 36s,33l
arrivals.
Such a contrast is somsthiug new for
this country. Half million people
have left us during the last eight
months in order to get It better living
in the overcrowded countries OF the
Old World than they could earn in
this land Of plenty. Yet crops are
greater than ever before, and whatever
fault there is must be attributed to the
imperfection of our Institutions or to
the selhshness of the classes that are
more or less arrayed against each
other.
