WHERE THE MONEY GOES,

This country has for a great many
years enjoyed IN immense credit balance
in its foreign trade. This has risen TO
wonderful figures from time TO time,
5000, ,554 being the credit balance in
our foreign trade for the fiscal year end
ing june 30, 1908. But we don't seem
to get any money on account Of the i'm
mense sums thus to our credit. How is
that credit used up' A good many sug-
gestions have been made, but all arc in
complete. American travel expenditure
in Europe is estimated all the way up
to $200,000,000 a year, Freight charges
on American exports and imports to for
eign ship companies amounts to another
great sum. Dividends and other returns
on European holders of American securi-
ties amount also 10 large sums.
There is, however, great Loss to
America that is usually overlooked; that
is. the money sent by aliens in this coun.
try to relatives and friends abroad An
Illuminating view of the amount of this
is given in the estimates made by New
York bankers and postoflicc officials who
say that something like $60,000,000 has
been sent to Europe in money and mon
ey orders this season for Christmas ac-
count. One steamship alone. which
sailed from New York December 18th
is said 10 have carried out over $600,0 ,000
in postal money orders. In one day the
postoiiice in New York sold money or
ders for foreign destinations amounting
to over n million dollars. The explana-
tion is made that this year is an UNUSUAL
year, an extraordinary amount above
the average having been sent. But this
also shows that the alien workmen in
this country are sharing In the general
prosperity to an unwonted degree. AT
the same time. ii is robbery Of the
sources of that prosperity, and in time
must necessarily destroy it if the tre-
mendous drain is continued Sixty mil
lion dollars sent on Christmas account
alone is tremendous sum of money
If the total sendings for the year are
three times as much, which it is not

unreasonable to assume, then we are
losing close upon $200,000,000 year
upon this account alone, 1T would take
only three such accounts as this to en-
tirely wipe out our enormous balance
of trade, and the year which ended on
June 30th last will not show any such
heavy balance as was shown the year
before. Thrift is one Of the great things
that the American people, either per-
sonally or nationally, have not yet
learned to practice. When they do, or
if they do, they win presently become a
nation OF such richness that all the
world besides will be poverty stricken
compared with them.

sion.' Besides, when giving his testi-
mony in the Smoot investigation in
Washington, Mr.. Smith moro than once
declared that he believed IN tho prin-
ciple Of polygamy today Just as much
as he ever believed in it..
Mr. James does net know what dis
cusslons occur in the secret meetings
of the church authorities, or in the
temples but Tho Tribune will suggest
that If he were permitted to hear all
that goes on at those places. he would
hear plenty about polygamy

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The week Just past has seen the high
water mark Of holiday business in this
city. 1t is not only the high water
mark for the present season, but for
every season. Never was there so much
money spent on holiday account as has
been spent for the holiday just past, and
the week Just closed had the bulk of
it. This was evident in the increase IN
the bank clearanccs in this city, which
show a gain of $1,742 ,543.52 as com
pared with tho clearances Of Christmas
week last year. The totals were, re-
spectively, for last year. $4,332 ,397 20;
for this year, $6,074, ,9l073. 1t is a
magnificent record.
That the public improvements which
have been such a marked feature in the
business life Of this city since the incom-
ing of the American party over four years
ago are to be continued in full force and
vigor the coming year is evident from
the action Of the Board of Public Works
on Friday evening, when it let contracts
for more than 100000 on bids for pub
lie improvements. This amount was
carried in bids for street paving, one
on Ninth East street and one on First
avenue extending the present paving on
that street eastward from ] to streets.
The bids were considerably below the
estimates, showing keen competition be
tween four competing bidders. Mr..
Moran got this contract. The Ninth
East contract is for $l51, ,47447, and the
First Avenue for $70,593.25. This is
very substantial nest egg of public
improvements to be Matched when the
season opens.
The general activities Of the city in
building. real estate market, and all
forms of public activities, as we'll as
personal business. have shown great ac-
tivity during the week. 1t is a pros.
porous time for Salt Lake. and all are
enjoying the benefits of that prosperity.
Demand is great: supply is ample; but
prices are far more in favor of the sell
lcr than of the buyer.
The mines Of The State are in excel
lent shape. the activity being on the old
order, and the profits rich aud ample.
The mines yield well, and the ore-reduc.
ing facilities of the valley are on a
greater scale than ever before.
The opening of traffic on the Western
Pacific railroad is an event Of the time,
the first freight bill of lading having
been duly made out, The road, there
fore, is practically open to travel even
before the first of the year when the
regular traffic was announced to begin,
Throughout the State it has been a
week of good activity with large demand
in trade and a profitable trade to the
dealers,

Kansas City, Jan. 23,-The crowd
that went to the federal court Friday
morning to hear Gov. Hadley speak
in defense of the state in the rate
case hearing had a surprise. Some
thing happened that gave the visitor
an opportunity to applaud and make q
loud noise-right in the dignifed fed

When Gov. Hadley had finished
speech OF almost two hours In which
he gave some reasons why the people
of Missouri are entitled to lower
freight and passenger rates, the Wis
itors began to leave. Judge McPher'
SON gave instructions for no one to
be in a hurry. He said that Gardiner
Lathrop had something of interest to
say that did not pertain to the ques'
ton Of railroad rates.
Mr.. Lathrop had gift for Gov,

OF John T. McCutcheon's cartoon
showing the temperance Of the

Lathrop displayed the drawing,
