NEW YORK CITY's BOND SALE.

The brilliant success of New York
City III selling $60,000.0o0 of Az per
cent bonds shows that there is abun-
dance of money in the country avail
able for safe and profitable invest
ments. it was the greatest bond offer
ing the city has ever made at one
time. a bond of New York City is
held on the market to he as good as a
Government bond 1t is never under
any discount as compared with other
bonds; the interest is secure, and the
principal of the bond is always taken
care of ut maturity, either by payment
IN cash or by the issue of new bond
This issue was by five times over
subscribed, at an average price of
about $l-0l, showing that the holders
of money have plenty of cash; and
that they are willing TO put it where
it is safe and will yield them satisfac-
tory returns,
The fact is that there is abundance
Of money-of gold. The production of
the world was S455,000,000 in gold last
year; of the United States it was very
close to $l00,o00,0O0 There has been
no world business expansion that ought
TO make gold famine. or any scar
city Of money at ALL as compared with
such enormous production as this. The
enterprises of commerce and of busi-
ness are on an unprccedently vast
scale in this age of the world. But
it must be remembered that the pro.
duction of gold is also on a scale never
before known or even dreamed of So
that while the one is enormous, the
other meets it on its own scale.
At the very time that New York
was making such a brilliant negotia-
tion of its 100000, coo in bonds. the
general stock market was fiat, lifeless,
weak. The reason is not at all OBJ
scure. "The street, so far as all
corporation bonds are concerned, is ter
rorized by the threats of hostile if not
destructive Legislation. We have forty.
six States whose Legislatures are of
ten misehievous bodies, determined to
tamper with various corporations with
out any regard TO the rights conferred
by charter. and without any considera
ton OF the earning capacity of the
roads and their ability TO meet fixed
charges i'll case the legislation threat
ened is passed. 1t is by reason of the
uncertainty and terror that is thus
created, that there is such wide and
Insistent demand for the national in
corporation Of concerns doing an inter
state business, whether Of transporta-
tlon or anything else, so as to relieve
the corporations from the untender
mercicG of forty.six fsnon to he forty.

CHINA SEEKS AN ALLY.

China. sick and weary of the harpy
wrangling of the great powers. which
one and all seek only their own advan,
tage, turns to the United States in
search of an ally. The ancient empire
feels assured that this country socks
nothing from it, and has no ulterior
motives In what we may counsel or de-
sire We have given ample proof OF
our disinterestedness the latest being In
our return 10 China of the extortionate
part Of the indemnity money wrung
| from her on account of the Boxer war
return which was most gratefully ac
knowledged
But because we have done the friend
| ly things that We have, is no reason why
we should go to the length that China
| would like. What China wants is pro-
tector more than an ally in the usual
sense, and that is role that this ma
tion can hardly undertake. 1t would
be one of the most pcrlous OF those
entangling alliances which Wash
ington IN his noble farewell address so
explicitly warned us against All of the
principal nations of Europe. and Japan
as well, havo their "spheres Of iuflu-
ence'' in China. within which the SOW
ereignty of China is scarcely recognized,
much less respected. 1t is the burning
desire of China to really rule within
her own dominion, to restore an actual
sovereignty, instead Of mere shad-
owy one, in those "spheres. But, how
ever much she longs for this, she sees
no way to establish it. and her frantic
effort is to retain what is left while
losing no more in the region where she
dare not assert real control.
For the United States TO be China s
cat IS paw in the achievement of her
desire, is quite impossible. This coun-
try has stood firmly against the dis
memherment OF China. We have dealt
Il great stroke in her behalf in backing
the new railroad in Name huria which
was so strenuously opposed both by
Russia and Japan, n stroke which should
result in the establishment again of
Chinese sovereignty in Manchuria,
which is now on so doubtful footing,
and which otherwise would have Ger
tainly faded out And In any other
diplomatic development way that we
can aid China, doubtless we shall con
tinue our friendly offices. But farther
than that it would be unsafe to go, nor
would the people of this country APP
prove.

HOW ABOUT THAT SERMON?

We notice that the Minneapolis Trib
articles that are appearing with re
spect to the situation in Utah. 1t think:
that everything rs all right here, and
that the magazines are mere sensation
mongers, when they undertake to deal
with Utah affairs, even though they
state fairly and candidly the facts IN,
volved, Treating of matters present
ed in these publications, our Minncapo
lis contemporary says:
Nevertheless ii appears that since the
beginning of this antl-Mormon raid, last
September, two members Of the Mormon
church have been communicated for
OF the church, Joseph F, Smith, preached
special sermon advising his followers
to cease the practice OF plural wlvine.
How sincere this sermon was. or
whether President Smith acted upon his
own advice, we have no means of know
Ing. But as matter OF fact there
doesn't seem to be much fear of the
general revival OF polygamy in any mod
ern state. The young men. as rule.
find IL difficult enough to support one
wife as the modern wife wants to be
supported.
In view Of the fact that The Tribune
has printed upwards of $50 names Of
new ygamists-men-and the very
general suspicion that the few "ex-
amples' that have been made have not
been examples at all, but mean, in fact,
something else, the force of the first
portion of this extract is very small
With regard to the second portion,
that referring to an alleged special ser
mon preached by Joseph L. Smith. ad-
vislng his followers to cease the prac.
tlce of plural wiving, we are obliged
to say that nothing of any such ser.
mon is known in Utah. And we would
be glad if the Minneapolis Tribune
would produce that sermon or anything
in it upon which it bases it's statement
that such sermon was preached We
should like to reproduce il.
Finally. with respect to these sup.
posed young men who as a rule find it
dlihcult to support one wife as the
modern wife wants to be supported
suppose we set off as against that a
case of another young man who in mar.
rylng three or four wives expects them
to support him. When this is done. the
balance IN favor Of the polygamic re.
lation for the young man seems to
swing In favor of having wives enough
to keep things going without much ex.
ertion on the much married mans
part.

PLATFORM AND SPEECHES.

1t is evident that there is a very
serious difference of opinion among
members of the Legislature as to the
true intent and meaning of the Re
publican platform of last year on
the question of prohibition. This
is all the more evident when the
speeches made on the question dur
ing the campaign are compared. When
this is done, it is seen that the
campaign orators did not pay much
attention to the real meaning of
the plank in the State platform on this
question, if, indeed, they cared any
thing about that meaning; but that
they urged upon every audience that
they addressed those arguments which
they considered would be the best vote
getters in that community. In some
counties, as In Sanpete, the Republican
county platform was squarely for prohi-
bition, absolutely contravening the
State platform on this point, In other
counties practically the same thing oc-
Cured. And in a number of the cam
paign addresses prohibition was open
ly proclaimed as Republican doctrine,
The campaign was conducted, in fact.
on this point. by the Republican cam
paigners. on the usual tricky doctrine
of 'all things TO all men, the main
point being to win without regard TO
any fixed principle or standard con
struction of the State platform. 1t
was simply a scramble for votes, prin-
ciple being cast entirely to the winds,
and the voters being pandered to ac.
cording to their supposed opinions or
prejudices.
And when all is said and done. the
fact remains, just as stated in the first
place by The Tribune, that the liquor
question in this State is placed by the
Supreme Court decision in lust about
as desirable situation as it could pos
sibly be, And we think it is by far
the best thing all around to let the mat
ter remain exactly as it is, rather than
to pass new laws, which will incite to
litigation and keep the whole matter
unsettled for years to come As it is

to go upon that every one easily un-

scores of suits. with the possibility OF

the law is. As we have it now the
Supreme Court has given a plain,

the matter just about as we'll as we
could expect to have it settled Every

LOOKS LIKE A JOB.

The disposal of seven thousand acres
of government land in Tooele county or
Saturday, has every appearance of Job
berry. The land is said to be choice
and desirable Notice of its release
for entry came only on Friday after
noon. And yet, on Saturday morning
1t was open for entry, and thron2
of "insiders' were on hand to take
all the lands and more, too, If there
had been more TO offer. 1t was moi
only Salt Lakers that had this private
information denied to the public, but
several were here from Provo. which
may be a pointer as to the origin OF
the private information.
Mr. F.. d. r. Thompson, Register of
the Land Office. protests his entire
innocence Of any collusion in it. say
ing that he had no previous knowledge
that the land was to be opened; that
the rush came on so suddenly that he
had no time to notify the newspapers,
and that he has no knowledge Of how
the applicants got their tip; "hut they
must have found out some way, for
they were lined up four deep at 9
o'clock at my office on Saturday morn
ing. His idea is that they must have
sibly Through the Senators or some
one else
Mr.. Thompson is probably right
about this, and his statement is prac-
tically charge that there was q job
connected with release of this land
in the notification of certain favored
ones of the coming release. 1t is un-
fortunate that he did not take thought
to notify the newspapers as soon as
he got the information, for that, at
least. would have shown diligence and
lmpartia!ity toward the public. But
his statements that the inside knowl-
edge must have come from Washington
is probably correct, and we are in
clined to accept it at its face value,
And since it came from Washington
and since he mentions Senators in con
nection with the probable source of
the tip, we are inclined TO agree with
him here. also.
But whoever was responsible for the
secrecy. as well as for the leak In con
nection with this matter, was certainly
either the originator or the conniver.
1t Is as nasty little piece of iobbcry
as one could well imagine. In all sales
of public land it is the general policy
of the government to give open notice,
n N
equal chance at whatever Is to be
offered. The fact that the rule was
violated in this case Is bad work TO be.
gin with. And the further fact that
certain favored ones had inside infor-
of this desirable land in a scandal, and
n fraud upon the public.

JooKEYING ON RECIPROCITY.

1t appears that the lockeylng on
reciprocity has begun in earnest. The
agreement made by the administration
with the Dominion of Canada is to be
fought by the "stand patters.' and
President Taft threatens them with an
extra session if they defeat ratifica-
tion. 1T seems that this ought to be
sufficient 10 bring the rcactionaries to
| their senses. and make them yield the
point. For. nothing can be gained for
The stand-pat policies by an extra ses.
sion. On the contrary, an extra ses-
sion called to consider this reciprocal
agreement would open up the whole
tariff question, and would permit of
the Democrats getting their fight
arrayed against the present unpopular
law. much sooner than they had
hoped
The argument that the Canadian
agreement is adverse to the interests
Of the American farmer is futile, for
the American farmer does not get the
advantage Of the high prices that pre-
vail. The speculative combines get The
profits, both from the farmer and from
the consumer. They control the channels
of accumulation Of stores, and those OF
distribution are in the hands of the
combines; they arbitrarily fix prices
and dole out supplies or make sup
plies scarce. without reference to the
actual production. IT is IN general
good deal like the beet sugar combine
here, which fixes n very low rate to
and high rate for the sugar that it
to the consumers That is
what is going on all over the country,
and it is idle to make any plea In be-
half of the farmers, for they are gust
as much in the power of the specula
tive combines as is the general pub
lie.
What this Canadian reciprocity
agreement would do is that it would
be n help in breaking down the mo-
that are robbing the country with both
hands, paying the farmers and food
producers sparlngly. and bleeding the
consumers with extraordinary and
oppressive charges for the ne
.cssitles of life. The account received |
from Chicago few days ago illus |

,or years, making an artificial scarcity |

would not in the least be menace
