Gold at a premium. Thia is the
result of another Civil War. the war
of the Free Tradu Administratiou
against American industries.
The last message of Preeideot
Cleveland to the 53 J Congress is a
voluminous affair covering over four
teen columns of closely set matter.
It deals of nothing new, and is more
in the nature of a rehash of depart
ment reports. The President seems
to think there has not been enough
tariff tinkering yet, so he recommends
coal, iron and refined sugar be plac
ed on the free list. Of the bulky
state paper the Derrick says:
President Cleveland's last message
to the Fifty-third Congress is a dis
appointing document in many re
spets. There is hardly enough fire
and vitriol in it to suit the few
friends who still stand by hi.n, or sat
isfy the people, who were curious to
know in what light he regarded their
criticism of his policy, as expressed
in their disapproval of the Democrat
ic party by the verdict of the ballot
box. But Grover has nothing new to
offer, and he takes up twelve or fif
teen columns of newspaper space, in
a synopsis of our foreign relations,
and a rehash of the reports presented
by the chiefs of bis various depart
meuts. lie approves of their several
reccommendatious witb monotonous
verbosity and with a brief eulogy iu
behalf of civil service reform, winds
up bis formidable document with a
strong endorsement of Secretary Car
lisle'8 scheme of currency reform.
The entire message is trite and
commonplace and suggests the an
gu;sh of a man suffering from a sore
toe nod disappointed hopes. The
reader who has patience enough to go
through it from beginning to end
cannot fail to be aware of the strain
it cost to strain it out, and a fe
grains of sympathy involuntary go
out to the writer. It is hard work to
read it and it must have been infinite
ly harder to have written it.
It is difficult to realize in tbe few
words that tbe Presideut devotes to
tbe tariff that this measure was so
unsatisfactory to him that he refused
to give it his signiturc. Beyond say
ing that it needs a few amendments
and that he is in favor of free coal,
free iron and free sugar, be almost
entirely ignores it.
His recommendations for a Na
tional .Hoard ot Health are com
mendable, but be is on safe grounds
here, as the subject has been thorough
Iy considered heretofore. ills re
marks about American ships and
sailors have been the spread-eagle
arguments of the free traders for
years. He devotes considerable at
leotion to the Bluefields incident, and
tbe little discussion it aroused be
tween tbe United States and Great
Britain, but has nothing to say for or
against tbe Nicaragua canal enter
prise.
But it is Mr. Cleveland's financial
recommendations that will call down
the vials of wrath upon bis consecra
tea Dead, lie calls attention in a
vague way to tbe government's fioan
cial difficulties, but fails to apprehend
the cause. Free trade means dimin
ished revenue, and diminished
revenue means that instead ot
paying off tbe national debt it will
be necessary to increase it by issuing
more bonds. Tbe bonds have al
ready been placed on the market by
Mr. Cleveland and now he sees a
great light in the direction ot a more
elastio currency. Ibis is to be ob
tained by chasing a financial rainbow
and a complicated system of bank
currency guaraoled by ibe govern
went a system cumbersome, im
practicable and impossible of being
put in operation by an American
Congress. .
There was probably no election
iu the country that surprised the
Democrats more tban tbe result in
Utah. Tbey bad passed the ability
act to enable the Territory to become
a State in the Union and reuomina
ated the man for Delegate to Cou
grefcs woo did most to secure the pas
sae ot the act and to tavor what is
known as tbe Mormon vote. But
they were defeated badly. The Re
publican candidate for Delegate to
Congress was elected and a Kepubli
cau majority of fifteen in the Couati
tutional Convention was secured
This will enable the Republicans to
frame tbe first fundamental law of
tbe new Stale, aud if tbey do the
work well it ought to commend tbein
enough to the voters to secure a Re
publican Governor aud Legislature.
Four years ago the Republican
vole in tbe Territoiy was only 6U86 ;
in 18112 it was 12,3'JO, and in the re
cent election it was about 21,000.
This is a gratifying increase, and if
it is mantaioed next year, when tbe
first ritate election occurs, it will show
that the Democrats made one of their
numerous miscalculations when they
counted on Utah guiug Democratic.
The ronorts of dutiable roods
during October were worth 6,500,
000 more than in October, 1893.
This was tbe second month uoder the
new tariff. American Economist.
The exports of linen manufactur
ers from Great Britain to the United 1
Slates comprised 7,658,700 yards last
month as compared with 3,884,800
yards io October, 18!3. Tariff tin
kering tells.
During the Protection Administra
tion of Presideut Harrison the Ina-
tional debt was decreased by $244,-
816,890. During twenty one months
of the Free-Trade Administration of I
President Cleveland the National
debt bas been increased by $100,000,-000.
It is a lucky thing for China that
she was beaten so easily. It mater-
ally lightened Japan's war expenses
A long, hard and bitter contest would
have proved very costly, and China
would have had so much the more to
pay. Japan's demand of $175,000,
000 indemnity is exceedingly moder
ate, in view of toe fact that it covers
all her war expenses. If the Mikado
really believed in the immense treas
ures said to be laid away in the
Flowery Kingdom he might have in
sisted on a few hundred millions
more. Derrrich.

LANSON,
lHE Kepublicans are making a
ereat ado over tbe vindication ot 1
their principles nirh tarin, at the
last election. In truth they have an
elephant on their hauds, so to be
consistent tbey roust revoke the Y il
son bill and reestablish the McKinley
bill. This they dare not dn and they
know it. Oh what a vindication!
h what a pickle, Vindicator.
The Democratic party having been
so fearfully and overwhelmiugly re
pudiated at tbe last electiou, wouldn't
it be acting tbe part of consistency
for it to turn tail and undo the fright
ful botch-work of last summer by re-
enacting tbe McKinley law? It has
still a few months more of life to live
in wbicb to do good if it will. Re

An iocrease ot $3,150,367 in the
public debt is shown by the Treasury
statement for November. This
makes tbe total deficiency for the five
months of tbe present fiscal year $22,-
510,226. Before tbe passsage of tbe
Ilavemyer tariff bill Mr. Carlisle
and other calculators of the Demo
cratic party figured tnut tbe tax on
sugar and whiskey would amount to
millions in the two mouths following
its passage. - Mr. Cleveland carried
the bill iu his pocket until tbe Sugar
Trust had finished getting in a six-
months' stock free of duty and tbe
Whisky Trust bad gut the bulk of
their goods out of bund under the low
McKinley rate. Hence, the expected
millions dwindled down into a few
hundred thousands. Verily, states
manship comes high, but tbe people
must have it. Irankhn Hews
