rly, no doubt, because of the urgent
demand Of Germany for loans, and be.
cause of the scarcity of gold through.
out European banking circles. This
active demand for money, to be sure,
would not necessarily affect the price
of silver, but tho fact that the pros
pective tremendous outlet for silver has
been shut Off could undoubtedly account
for the present depression,
Still, we do not believe that the loan
to China is abandoned, for China must
have the money, and will be willing to
pay for it. We reckon, therefore, that
tho price Of silver will presently ad.
vance again, Just as soon as the bankers
of the world can arrange. either with
the consent of the remaining five pow
ers or without the consent of any of
the powers, to furnish China with the
money which she wants. and that fur
nishirg will be largely in silver, and
the silver price will again be ad
yapced

WHO is TO BE LEADER?

leader Of the Democrats, Mr.. Bryan
took pains not TO deny this, although
he disclaimed credit for doing more in

This at least. will be ono good effect to
follow the new deal with respect to
China. The United States will have no
interest in ombiuatiou with The great
European powers, TO be sure, but the
result will be that those powers will
deal with China as they please, and we
shall be cut off from Chinese trade ex-
cept by the permission Of those powers,
precisely as we have been shut out of
the trade of Mancburis, where we used
to have an immense cotton market. but

nothing.

PROPOSED STONE PLANT.

The Tribune is glad to see the effort
making for the insugurating here of a
permanent business in stone quarrying
and stone preparation. There is no
question Of the richness Of all this re-
gion in numerous varieties OF stone OF
excellent quality for every purpose, but
this richness has not been developed
TO the extent that il ought to be. We
have excellent limestone, sandstone,
granite, onyx. marble, both white,
black, and tinted and great varieties
of stone. The Diamond canyon quar-
ries give excellent building stone. both
red and light IN color
The marble outcrops are extremely
promising, but the quarrics have not
been so opened as to determine pre-
cisely what there is in them. The
same may be said OF many other va
rieties of stone; but As 10 some Of these
the development has progressed SO far
that there is no question at all about
the richness, the extent, and the de
of the stone that can be pro-
duced.
So far, however. we have lacked an
extensive stone plant that would he
with the great richness
Of material with which nature has en-
dowed all this region. The proposal to
have an extensive stone plant here
comes at an opportune time, just when
there is the most interest in this sub
iect; and we trust that the plant may
be put in, so as to give thorough and
practical notice to all, both at home
and abroad, that we have everything
necessary in building stone that any
could desire

ELECTRIC JOINT TERMINAL,

The proposition to have a joint ter
minal, with appropriate depot, for the
three iuterurban lines, the Bamberger
line to Ogden, the Saltair line, and the
now ipterurban railway which will
presently connect the towns of Utah
county with Salt Lake and with the
towns further north, Is both practical
and desirable. The proposition would
include the electrifcation of the Salt
air route. The Bamberger line from
this city to Ogden is already electri-
fed, and the interurban line from
the Utah county towns to Salt Lake
will begin as an electrified PROPOSE
tion.
The question Of appropriate terminal
and depot facilities in this city is the
one that has occupied the most atten-
tion for some time past, and number
of locations have been tentatively pro-
posed for such depot and joint termi.
nal. The desire is to get as close in
to the business center of the city as
possible, and also to have such connect
ing facilities as will best serve the pur
poses Of all Of the roads.
The Tribune has noted these devel-
opments from time TO time, and is glad
to see that good progress is being
made in tho selection. There is the
utmost good will towards all these
projects on the part Of the citizens Of
Salt Lake. We have heard nothing but
words Of commendation of them, and in
saying what we do in approval Of the
efforts Of these lines, we reflect the
public sentiment as we have found il,

THE PRICE OF SILVER.

The depression in the price Of silver
makes serious loss to Utah and TO
all Of the mountain States. The causes
given for this depression in price are
by no means satisfactory, Professor
Fishers theory that there is so much
gold IN the world that the price of
everything else must advance by com
parison with it, utterly breaks down
when applied to silver, the fellow royal
metal The claim that the Bombay and
Hong Kong syndicatcs have been
forced to relinquish part of their silver
holdings can hardly be allowed, since
the demand for silver in China has been
greater than ever before, and since
India is taking both silver and gold in
unprecedented quantities.
A fact not mentioned by the brokers
probably has more to do with the fall
in silver than anything else, and that
is the failure Of the Chinese loan Of
sl25,000,00o. 1t was expected by the
six powers whose bankers were to cx.
tend this loan, that the most of il
would be paid 10 China in silver on the
current rate of exchange. This expec.
tatiou would have the natural effect of
keeping up the price of silver, since
the demand for something like two
hundred million ounces Of silver would
take great deal Of the world s sur.
plus. But this loan being now practi.

British bankers in that withdrawal,

iatiops that were thus supporting the

therefore from the facts Of the ease
aud the reasons proceeding tberefrom,
that the withdrawal OF the United
States from the six-power agreement to
furnish the loan TO China has been
the prime cause OF the break in silver
Undoubtedly the financial world had
an iukling Of this withdrawal before
the actual official withdrawal was made
public; and we therefore conclude that
the price of silver Is down uow ONLY
temporarily. for it is indisputable that
China must have the loan. The United

ton that President Wilson intends to

But he docs not intend to go merely

one who can successfully dispute his
claim in this respect; for while he viii

more to say about what shall bo done

and in fact as the man who has the
greatest power Of all to enforce his

not only the leader OF his party but
the leading power in the governmental
activities Of the Nation.
And so, although Bryan has been for
so many years the acclaimed leader OF
his party, the most powerful individual
force in it, In fact the irresistible quan-
tity, generally in control Of it's National
party conventions, he can hardly be
expected to give way, evon to Presi-
dent Wilson, without contest. And
since Mr. Bryan, as Secretary Of State,
is reported to have called certain Dem
ocratic leaders in Congress about him
and indicated his views as to what
should be done, it is reasonably clear
that struggle of large proportions is
on for the leadership Of the Democratic
party as between President Wilson and

of Congress to legislate and not the

THE BANKERS WITHDRAW.

Promptly upon President Wilson s an
nouncement declining to ask the Ameri-
can bankers TO participate in the Chi
nese loan. and virtually saying that
the United States would not undertake
to have any voice in the affairs of
China, the American bankers gave no.
tice that they would have nothing to
do with the loan stated. An ominous
phase of this announced Indifference
to Chinese affairs is carried in the dis
patch which gave the seal of approval
Of the anti-imperialists to President
Wilson s declaration The anti.imper-
ialists are the gentlemen who want TO
isolate the United States from all the

try up in an exclusive reserve and sell

spirit Of liberty or good will among
mankind. They not only want the Phil,
ippines for the Fiipinos, but they want
America for the Americans, and the
America which they have in view is
an America as restricted as possible
and as thoroughly disconnected from
the world as can be in our modern sys-

that the uewly-created Nation should

that the control of the country should
