DEMOCRATS DIVIDED.

The New York World inquiries,
Where Is Mr. Bryan" and then says:
Mr.. Bryan is still nominally the
leader of the Democratic party. Fif.
teen years ago there was no more
ardent tariff -reformer in the country
than the young Representative from
Nebraska, whose speech on the VII
son bill won for him his first national
recognition as an orator and deoater.
Where is Mr.. Bryan now? What Is
he doing TO hold his party true to the
principles that he has defended and
to the platform that he framed?
More than thirty Democrats sup
ported the Payne bill in the House.
Senator Simmons. of North Carolina
who was a member OF the o0mmittee
on resolutions at the Denver conyen-
ton. which demanded the immediate
repeal of the tariff on wood pulp, print
paper, lumber timber and logs, is
now one of the most eloquent plead
ers for the maintenance of the Ding
lie, duty on lumber. Senator Daniel,
Of Virginia, insists that a duty of 81
on lumber should be regarded as a
tariff for revenue. Senator Bacon, of
Georgia, declares that the free-lumber
plank in the Democratic platform
does not represent the sentiments Of
the rank and file Of the party.
In both houses OF Congress Demo
Gratis cynically repudiate their party
obligations in order to get q full
measure Of protection for their owr
constituents. Without apology they
leave 1t to Republican Senators like
Dolliycr, Cummins and Clapp to fight
the battle Of the consumer for a re-
duction In the cost OF living and for a
tariff behind which predatory trusts
cannot shelter themselves to practice
extortion at the expense of the public
welfare.
But we do not hear Mr.. Bryan's
voice raised in passionate protest
against Democratic treachery TO fun.

Two Decisions Handed Down
Of Importance Also to
Railroads

Washington. May 1.-Two decis-
ions Of notable importance TO the
railways and lumber interests of the
Northwest were handed down today
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, the complainants against the
railroads being victorious in each in
stance.
Many months ago, the Kalispcll
Lumber company and others, and the
Big Blackfoot Milling company and
others, engaged In the lumber manu-
featuring business in Montana, insti-
tuted complaints against the Great
Northern railway and other lines, ask
ing that they be accorded dlfferen-
tials on the rates established in the
Spokane case. The differentialS re-
ouested were an average OF about 2
IL cents hundred pounds. In the
opinions announced today. the COM
mission Sustains the contentious OF
the cornplainants and issues orders
that the differentialS are to be eStab.
lished by the railroads not later than
August ] next The orders have the
effect of lowering rates on all lumber
and forest products from the Mon
tana mills, both east and west, and
will afford them an advantage OF ap-
proximately two cents hundred
pounds over the mills in the Spokane
group on eastern shipments.
The rates established are required
to be maintained by the railroads for
at least two years.

NEW INDUSTRIES FOR

is the Ogden Portland Cement COM

is the Pioneer Fruit company located
in the building west of the Eccles

The cement company will be the
second concern of the kind with head
quarters In Ogden. II will be backed
by men OF money who reside In Chi
cago and other eastern cities. With
$500 900 TO be invested, the company
ia TO build a plant with a capacity of
500 or more barrels OF cement daily
and the promise is the factory will be
only second in importance to the
Croydon plant as cement producer
IN the intermountain country.
The fruit company is an important
one. The packing. shipping and mar
keting OF nearly all OF Utah's orchard

headquarters in this city, makes Og-

2. A correspondingly lower cost per

g. Tremendous saving per ton in

4. Higher recovery per ton In all
metals.
1t Is officially stated. that under It's
new contract. Utah Consolidated will
save $365,000 per annum In smelling
charges. This alone is equal TO 81 per
ton, or &c pound While the com
pany may not be credited with as
large a recovery as If 1t were doing
It's own smelling, 1t will doubtless re
ceiye credit for much more than un-
der its present contract, and 1t should
be safe to figure IS pounos Of copper

chould be a recovery In the market
for silver The drop in this metal
must have cost the company last year

The combined effect of these factors
should be to reduce the cost Of pro-
Guction by at least 2 IL cents a
pound. or say-to S cents. With an
output of 100000 tons annually. and
d recovery of 40 pounds per ton, the
company would produce 100000
