British market for American products
our ten months exports increased tc
$418, 100000 in 1911: those to Canada
from 1901 100000 in 1910 to $249,OOO.
900 in 1911. Australia and New Zea

in 1911; those to the British West
Indies from $9,000,O00 in 1910 to $40,

in 1910, and 100000 in 1910 and So,
100000 in 1911.
Raw cotton, meats and breadstuffs
form the bulk of the exports from the
United States to the United Kingdom
though certain manufactures such az
agricultural implements, leather, ma
chinery and pig copper are important
items in the yearly sales to that coun
try.

PATROLMAN CHECKED

A telephone call to police headquar-

ITS FALSE EXCUSE.

Referring again TO its false accusd-
ton against The Tribune in connection
with something quoted from citizen
bv The Tribune thirty years ago or so,
the Deserct News on Tuesday evening
brought forward the excuse that The
Tribune has been using and garbbng
extracts from sermons preached by Lat
ter day Saints not only thirty but forty
aud fifty years sgo, and it has published
those falsfed accounts, branding the
dead as traitors and eliminating their
descendants in order to gam votes for
the American party today, without re-
hcctng that the question Of the connec-
tion between the past and present might
very properly be raised.'
AS an excuse this is weaker than wa
ter. because The Tribune has not at any
time garbled anything or misrcpresent
ed anything With regard. TO these eX-
tracts from sermons. in every case the
volume and page were given, so that
ir it had been possible al any time to
cite an inaccuracy III the quotation, any
garbllng, the church organ would have
been only too glad to have put The
Tribune to the bad by showing wherein
We had erred Not one attempt was
made 10 challenge the accuracy and
rtruthfulncss of those quotations. and in
no case did VIC allege with respect to
them anything further than what the
speaker said.
SO that the News, in undertaking to
say that The Tribune has also gsrbled
and misrepresented as an excuse for MS
own garbliug and Misrepresentation, Is
utterly false AS usual. and merely shows
forth its vcnomous and untruthful ma

GOLD STORAGE AND OUTPUT.

The Associated Press report which
tells Of the enormous transfers of gold
TO the Denver mint must surprise the
sencral public There would appear TO
he no reason why Denver should bc Sc
lectcd rather than San Francisco. or,
in especial, rather than New York,
where the gold has usually been kept,
and where it is most handy for use. 1t
we were at war with some tirst-class
maritime power. then we could under
stand the transfer of the immense gold
hoard of $500 100000 TO Denver, for
then, no matter what might happen III
the way Of capture or occupation Of any
of our seacoast cities. the enemy could
hardly be expected TO penetrate as far
as Denver. and so IN such ease the gold
hoard would be secure, But, since there
is nothing of this kind III view, and
difficult indeed 10 understand why such
Il tremendous accumulation Of gold is
made at the Denver mint.
The movements of gold have been
very extraordinary in the past few
months The banks of Europe have had
their gold hoardiugs depleted by up
wards of S70,o00,000. Nearly all of
those banks have lost gold, but the
Bank Of France has lost the most Of
any. The Bank of England has lost a
good deal and tho Bank Of Russia has
lost about $I0.O0n,000. II is hard 10 i'm
agine where that gold can have been
hidden; and this especially in view Of
the fact that the South African mines
are producing and selling in the London
market, gold amounting 10 over S13,-
! 900 300 month This new gold has
disappeared absolutely as we'll as the
old gold that was in the banks, so that
the absolute disappearance Of known
gold in Europe has reached very close to
! SI0o, 100000 in the last few months.
In this country the Treasury board
ings of gold amount TO more than was
ever collected before In tho history of
| tho world in any ono place, reaching
now well over 81 200, 100000. But VIC
have not received any gold from Eu
rope. so that it is impossible to account
| for the disappearance of that 500.
100000 of European gold by saying that
it WAS brought to this country It ha.
not been. Besides, VIC are producing
about IS ,000,0 month in new GOLD
ourselves, and this goes into our gen
eral hoard.
The gold production Of the world tho
present year is likely 10 be something
more than has ever been known before
The mines of South Africa. viii produce
upwards of $1,000 900. Our own coun
try Will produce not far from 100000,
600; and there il no marked falling OF
except in Rhodesis, and there il is mo-
so much falling of as a failure oi
the mines TO reach the productivenes
that was expected. Everywhere else tn,
record OF last year is likely 10 be kept
up. so that we should expect to see thu
world g. gold production for this yea

FALLING OFF IN VOTES.

The vote in this city at the primary
election was practically but half the
vote, 1t showed great falling off III
the party vote of all parties except the
Socialist party. which showed consid
erablc gains
The Smoot organ. however gave yes
tcrday morning special showing of
this falling off as applied to Mayor

largely, and. of course. the vote on any
individual candidate had to fall or

JOINT CANDIDATES BETRAYED

During the campaign for the primary
election, when il was announced that
the Federal bunch was negotiating with
some disconientcd Americans with n
view of combining their interests III a
composite ticket, The Tribune could
hardly credit the report and it called
upon the Americans TO keep out of any
such treachcrous alliance. well knowing
that the Federal bunch could not be
depended upon TO keep faith with the
Americans in this matter. But our
warning was unbecdcd, the negotiation
was made. and the combination went
before the people.
1t will not be lost sight OF that the
Americans who were thus led into
the Federal bunch trap were absolutely
betrayed by Inc bunch at the polls.
The Federal bunch candidate for
mayor received 1881 votes. Mr. l.. j,
Wood for commissioner on the same
ticket received 2l12 votes, DR.. Doug
las, the other American who was equal
ly betrayed, received 21o6 votes.
That is, the Federal bunch, in con
sidcration Of the support Of the dscon-
tented Americans, received their votes
for Mr.. Lcathcrwood, and in return
they gave those American candidates
but little, if any, more than half of then
votes. No palmer proof of political
treachery could possibly be had than
is found IN the result Of the primary
election In this city on Tuesday.
In view of the treachcrv involved
and in view of tho disastrous results OF
the wandering in foreign pastures by
the American candidates, we would sug
gcst to those discontentcd Americans
and to all who feel with them in this
matter, that 1T is about time they woke
up to the realization OF their position
and returned to the party which repre-
sent their principles, the only vital prin
ciples that arc at stake, in Utah, auc
the only elementary principles of free
dom that are at stake anywhere in tht
Republic. The American disconten
should now cease, and all of the Amer
leans who are Americans on principle
should rally to the support Of their tick
ct, and above all of their principles, an,
We believe that this will be the cas-
with all who genuinely were attache,

The comparison made by the Federal

il apply against Bransford alone; but
it applies equally as against the rcd
cral bunch candidate also, aud so hon
ors arc even.
It makes no difference what sort OF
claim is made by the Federal bunch
organ in this matter, that claim is alb
sontclv fallacious, and the reasoning
founded upon it is false. as the figures
amply demonstrate.
