THE COST STANDARD.

We see that Senator Gore Of Okla
homa has proposed in his campaign
speeches that the merchants Of this
country should put upon every article
they sell, two tags, one setting forth
the price plus the tariff tax, and the
other the price less that tax. He holds
that this would have most effective
force, and would be sweeping argu-
ment against the tariff, His idea is
that against that form Of argument
the appeal for protective tariff would
go down before the onsweep Of public
opinion like the pins do upon the rush
of the ball in bowling alley.
We imagine that some certain other
things would also mediately occur
when the tariff pins were all knocked
down The skilled, industries of this
country would at once cease, manufac-
turers would close their doors, and
there would be in England and Ger
many such a revival of industrial en-
ergy to supply the American market
as has never been known since the
passage Of the Wilson tariff bill in
1894 in Cleveland IS second administra-
ton. 1t will be remembered that this
country was then filled with so-called
industrial armies made up of hun
dreds Of thousands of men who had
been thrown out of employment, while
the word came from England that the
manufacturing industries there were en-
joying an unprecedented boom, and the
shipments of English goods to America
were beyond all record.
And now, since il is SO urgently
plead ded by Senator Gore and so fer.
vently indorsed by Democratic news
papers, that this difference between
the cost with the tariff and without the
tariff can be labeled and designated,
what becomes Of the Democratic argu-
ment that the cost Of production OF an
article in foreign parts compared with
the cost of production Of similar art-
Gle in this country cannot be ascer.

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

salt Lake City has had n week Of ex-
cellent business activity, through the
prominent affairs that have brought in
large crowds OF visitors who have stim-
! ulated local buying-the National Irri-
cation Congress. the State Fair, and
now the somi.nnnual conference Of the
Mormon church, which IN itself always
draws immense crowds. Altogether
these crowds have made things lively
In the city, and its commercial inter
ests have been much helped thereby.
Retail trade has been the best In
many weeks, due to the crowds that
| attended the big events named. This
increased trade is expected to continue
during the present week. Fall goods
are on full display, with brisk demand
The ratio of cash sales to charge sales
was brought during the week to stand
as about seventy per cent to thirty
Collections are stronger, The heaviest
trade was in women S and men s fur
nishings.
Building activity has been extremely
brisk in the way Of finishing the large
business structures and the very numer-
Gus residence buildings in the city.
Good progress has been made on the
East Bench High School, on the Admin
istration building of the University, the
new National City bank on State street,
the Costuming company's building, and
other structures.
The realty market on the whole has
been satisfactory, although the larger
negotiations have not been consummat-
ed. Residence properties draw inquiry
from all parts Of the country. and there
is good demand also for small farms
The railroads have had week Of
heavy travel, trains being loaded with
delegates to the Irrigation Congress,
and visitors to the State Fair and the
Conference. There have also been nu-
merous colonist trains taking homeseek
ers to all. parts Of the mountain and
coast regions.
Many passenger officials Of Salt Lake
City have gone to Denver to attend the
annual convention Of the American As
sociation Of Passenger Agents.
There was a big celebration at
briggs, Idaho. when the first passenger
train arrived there on October end

HAWAIPs VOLCANIC INFERNO.
A Peep Into Kilauea's Lake of 5rim-
stone and Fire.

Kilauea, in Hawaii. is a round, ex-
tinct crater about three miles across
and 700 or 800 feet deep. 1t has been
the scene of terrific explosions in past
ages, but it has now dwindled to the
small active crater of Halemaumau.
which is sunk near the middle of it
like a huge pot, 200 or more feet deep
and 1000 feet across.
In the midafternOOn a party of eight
of ten of us on horseback set out to
visit the volcano. The trail led down
the broken and shelving side of the
crater, amid trees and bushes, till it
struck the floor of lava at the bottom.
Our course took us out over the
cracked and contOrted lava beds, where
no green thing was growing. The
forms of the lava flow suggested
mailed and writhing dragons, with
hOrrid gaping mouths and vicious
claws. The lava crunched beneath the
horses feet like shelly and brittle ice.
At one point we passed over a wide.
! Jagged crack on bridge. AS we neared
the crater the rocks grew warm and
sulphur and other fumes streaked the
air.
When half a mile from the crater we
dismounted and, leaving our horses in
charge of the guide. proceeded on foot
over the cracked and heated lava rocks
toward the brink of this veritable
devils caldrom. The sulphur fumes
are so suffocating that it can be ap-
preached only on the windward side.
The first glance into that fearful pit
is all that your imagination can picture
it. You look upon the traditional lake
of birthstone and fire, and if devils
were to appear skipping about over the
surface with pitchfOrks, turning their
victims as the cook turns her frying
crullers in the sputtering fat, it would
not much surprise you. This liquid Is
rather thick and viscid. but it Is boil
ing furiOusly. Great masses of it are
thrown up forty or fifty feet and fall
With crash like that of the surf upon
the shore.
The mass of boiling lava is said to be
about one and one-half acres in extent
It's surface is covered with large masses
Of floating crust. black and smooth
like leather or roofing paper, and be
tween these masses, or islands, the
molten lava shows in broad. vivid
lines. 1t is never quiet.
Looking upon this scene with the
thought of the traditional lake Of fire
and birthstone of our forefathers IL
mind, you would say that these black
filthy looking masses floating about OF
the surface were the accumulation o.
all the bad stuff that had been frieC
out Of the poor sinners since hell wal
invented. How much wickedness ant
uncharity and evil thought it woulC
represent! If the poor victims wer
clarified and made purer by the proc
ess, then it would seem worth WHILE
