There was some pressure due to the

Weakness was not pronounced, as

Support was the result of liberay

not until near the middle OF that month.

Architects Statement.

Architect William Lepper. who de-
signed the building and furnished the
contractors with the necessary specifi-
cations, said yesterday:
Il have never heard a more ridiculous
statement in my life than that the Salt
Lake Hardware house is in dangerous
condition. There is absolutely no truth
in such a statement. The building is one
of the most substantial in this district
and has settled less than We estimated
a building of its size would. Its con-
struction is based on a plan which al
lowed for a considerably greater strain
than viii ever be put on the building.
and I know it cannot be other than
solid I have personally inspected it
during every stage of construction, and
found the materials and workmanship
to be the best obtainable''

was Democrat and, of course respect

OF apparent inconsistency prevented
him from asserting the federal power to
maintain its authority to repress law

right and federal Jurisdiction; and he
instituted proceedings in the federal
courts to restrain the Debs boycott Of
the country, the tying up of interstate
commerce and the interference with the

A Great President.
Grover Cleveland earned the sincere
gratitude of his countrymen and iusti-
fed recurring on a memorable occasion
like the one in which we are taking
part. He was a great president. not
because he was a great lawyer. not be-
cause he was a brilliant orator, not be-
cause he was a statesman of profound
learning, but because he was a patriot
with the highest sense of public duty.
because he was statesman of clear
perceptions of the utmost courage of
his convictions. and of great plainuess
of speech because he wasra man of the
highest character. a father and a hus-
band of the best type. and because
throughout his political life he showed

ant and citizen, the emulation of which

BIG WAREHOUSE
DECLARED SOUND
Salt Lake Hardware Official
Vigorously Denies Rumor
Questioning Stability.

Persistent rumors, which have been
afioat for several days to the effect
that the new storage warehouse of the
Salt Lake Hardware company is in an
unsafe condition, were investigated by
The Herald yesterday afternoon.
The building, which measures l65x2e0
feet inches, is said to be the largest
single structure In the west devoted
entirely to hardware storage purposes
The settling process through which all
new buildings go is apparent in the one
in question, but careful inspection
shows that the drop is uniform and
amounts to but a little more than an
inch. The foundations are massive af-
fairs of concrete and. railroad iron, and
the floors are supported by enormous
timbers set on pedestal piers of concrete
six feet square at the base.
CrockweII's Statements.
Assistant Treasurer Charles L. Crock
well of the Salt Lake Hardware COM
pany yesterday gave out the following
concerning the structure:
There is absolutely nothing wrong
with the building in any respect.
want to say at the beginning that we
have so much confidence in its strength
and sOlidity that we are rushing its
completion. and are now putting in a
portion of our stock in the completed
north end. In addition, we have seven
cars of hardware which we will unload
at once.
II attribute the malicious report con-
corning the new building to business
jealousy, certain of our rivals having
asserted that it would never reach COM
pletiOn at the time the foundations were
laid.
Several careful inspections have been
made during the process of construc-
ton, each serving to increase our con-
fidence in the building. A full carload of
sixty-pound steel rails was used in the
foundations. the floors are supported by
20x20 timbers, supporting a specially
constructed series Of giTders. These
girders are made up of three pieces. of
3xl6 No. Oregon fir bolted to two
steel plates sixteen inches wide and
one-half inch thick. These run the en-
tire length of the building, and support
a two-inch floor.
Precautions Were Taken.
Because of the fact that our stock
contains a great deal of weight in small
compass, such as fixed ammunition,
lead in bulk. and similar articles, we
thought it advisable to take precautions
against the floor settling. As a result,
it was decided to make the supporting
piers nearly an inch higher than the
floor level to allow for settling. No
weight has been put on the floors as
yet, but the walls have settled a trifie
OF their own weight. AS a result, the
flooring seems uneven at the corners
and sides. We hope to finish the brick
work in five days. and the carpenter
show our detractors that the building is
absolutely all right by putting in the
largest stock of hardware ever seen in
this CITY"

Free Coinage Question.

But there was rising in the Demo-
cratic party al the time, especially in
the western and southern parts of the
country, desire for economic RENE
dies, which should cure everything in
our business and body polite. This
was the movement I'm favor of the free
coinage of silver. The Republican party
and some of its leaders in the west
and south had not been free from
weakness in this respect and the law
for the monthly purchase of s2,000000
of silver hung like a stone around the
neck of the country MIR. Cleveland used
all the authority that he could COM
mand as the executive to bring about
repeal of this law, and he finally

without it disaster would have come.
Without It the credit of the country
could not have been sustained, and
there would have been a blot on our
financial escutcheon. But when Mr..
Cleveland succeeded in securing the re-
peal of the Sherman act II seemed as
if his control over the party with re-
spect TO the monetary issues had been
exhausted. His party became hope

''In my judgment the safety of the
republic was threatened by the break

radical and conservative elements.
In the campaigns of MIR. Blaine and
Mr. Cleveland and of Mr. Cleveland and
Mr. Harrison everyone felt. however

in the campaign of 1896 and the one

RIVER THAT EARNS MONEY.
The Etbe Carries Six Million Tons of
Barge Cargoes Yearly.

Six million tons go in or out of the
free port of Hamburg by the Upper
Elbe gate in barges every year
enough, if evenly divided, TO load
three big ocean steamers evey day in
the year and to carry away and dis
tribute the cargo of three others com
ing in, says Everybody's. A big traffic
in itself-this transshipment from
river to sea: and Hamburg, recogniz-
ing that fact has spent millions of
dollars TO prepare its harbor for it.
But it has spent it as Breslau spent
it-by issuing bonds and allowing the
traffic to support the burden of its
own cost. Barges coming down the
Elbe pass through an ingenious gate
into a series of canals and Ravens
which are for them alone and which
have room for 1.600 of them at a
time
This river harbor is divided into
numerous basins, and on the quay wall
of each basin is a railway track with
