stitution.' When the result of this elec
tion is. presented to the" President he
mav issue a proclamation declaring
Utah a State. It is said that the Prest
dent will be importuned r not to issue
such a proclamation on the ground that
the Mormon element, though it has
been "laying low" since the passage of
the Edmunds act, is only waiting-for the
protection of State sovereignty', to reas
sert itself.' -The constitution ;of ' Utah
forbids polygamy,, but- many of the
Gentiles in that territdly believe. that

that we ought not to try to trade with

It will also have to take into consid

iKe announcement in its advertisine
columns to the columns - in whieh it
gives its own unbusinesslike views of
the tariff. ...
As everyone knows, the McKinlev
bill was drawn to increase taxes and de
crease revenues. It made duties, t high
to prevent . ini porta? ion.v. llaving dis
covered that the annual revenue from
the Wilson bill amounts to two dollars
nd thirty -six cents per capita, against
drily one dollar and ninety cents per
capita under the duties of the McKinlev
bill, the Tribune makes the preposter
ous assertion tnat this increase is
vdrawn; from the ixckets of thei'neo.
In the vtry next column, however, it
advertises a variety of goods at Wiisod-
bill prices, and m doing so utterly re
futes its claim that the increase in rev
enue is an increase in taxes.- When
under the McKinley law did it ever of
fer at seventy-three cents a vard such
"body Brussels cirpet with border" as
it is now offering? When under Re
publican tariff duties did it ever invite
the public to buy a suit of chevoit for
ten dollars as it is doing now ?
Instead of doing any thing of the
kind it contended that a cheap, coat
makes a cheap man." That was ab
surd' but logical McKinlevisnu and it
will either have to go back to it or re
fuse to take advertisements offering the
public low-tariff bargains at Wilson-bill
prices- -
Mr. Cleveland and the Elections.

Nothing in the recent elections is
more remarkable than the sound public
judgment which discriminated between
the Efemocratic party and the leader of
the Democratic party. In ordinary cir

victories would have buried out of sight
any Democratic . candidate for the next
presidency who could be regarded as
the leaden of his party. Bat the cir
cumstances are cot ordinary. Mf.Cle.ve-

And -yet the . effect ot the Republican
triumph is to bring him forward more;
prominently -than ever as a third-termj
candidate. It is not thecandidaterbui"thei
anti-third term feelingr which seems , to
be buried. It has at any rate given way;
before the : pressure of public opifiioa;
and of - party necessities, : which seem
likely to make Mr. Cleveland again the

was presented squarely Jn the views of
the opposing candidates. Hadley, the
Republican candidate, won by a big
coinage &n,d was helped, orrather ""hoo
dooed," by the speeches "of Bland "end
other leading silverit.es. The lesson will
be a wholesome one for the Illinois
Democratawho last spring went oS half

The -free silver swindle will never
again seriptssly disturb our finances or
cause another panic. But unfortunately
much positive work remains to be done
before we get rid cf fiat money in all
its forms and secure a sound and elastic
currency for cur commercial interests.
" interest Is the Xtetorn on Capital.. .
Behind the agitation for 50 cent silver
I dollars or no ent paper dollars there is
a strong Populist sentiment which fa
vors the loaning of money by the govern
ment to the faimer8.-at 2 per cent inter
est.. The freecoinage advocatesfind
their strongest -support among those who
believe that interest is tisuiy anjd should
be abolished or reduced trrthe-ihere cost
of issuing paper currency.'. v'
-What these Populists do not see is the
fact thatin terest is not really paid for the
nse of money, but for the use of capital.
The money loaded merely Eerves to con
vey the capital from its owner to the
borrower; No anti-interest farmer would
rent his farm for 3 per cent a year. Yet
tinder the system of government loans
which he proposes any one who wished
to buy.a farm could bortow the money
at that rite of interest so no one would
ever pay imore rent than 2 per cent in
terest. on the value of the property; The
Populist who thinks that the capital rep
resented by his farm is worth more than
2 per cent a year should be willing to
allow th owners of other forms of capi
tal such jinterest as it is wortn to-any
one who chooses to borrow it. v--.;."

"President Cleveland," says lthe
New York World, "is entitled to credit
tor his order extending the civil service
rules to all postotfice within range of the
tree-delivery offices. It is thought that
this will bring 75 per cent of all the
postoffices under the operation of these
rules. ; It secures appointments for as
ceriainea ntness ratner tnan lor pro-
cared lavor, and 1 will thus insure
tenure during good behavior for all em

contemplation to abolish by an execu

. . THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Charlotte Observer.
The position of t'je United Stat
riph and powerful, but geographically
far removed from the other leadinsr
powers of the civilized world while of
incalculable advantage in keeping far
from us the dangers of invasion and ag
gression, eames with it the disadvan
tage of rendering us somewhat indif-
iereui u wnat tne rest 01 tne world is
doing. : ?i'.::
rProbably the able and carefully con
sidered paper of that very long-headed
statesman, Samuel J. Tilden, on the
coast defenses and inadequacy of the
navy, more than any other one thing,
aroused this government to a realiza
tion of the necessity of strengthening
botn. During the past year events
have taken place which render the con
struction of the Nicaragua Canal a par
amount necessity if this country, hopes
to continue a com peutor-for commercial
supremacy. With one stride Japan has
come to the front as a nation posses
sing very valuable trade relations, while
even' China, beaten and humiliated.
has learned by experience that the
policy of exclusiveness was the. chief in
strument of her rain. The' importance
of their trade to- us have been again
touched upon by Mr. Jernigan, our
consul "general at Shanghai, some of
whose receht'reports are mentioned by
oirr ; Washington correspondent this
morning. -;'',,
Both France and England are now
nearer to China and Japan than lhe
United States and with very amicable
feeling towards us on the part of these
two populous Oriental countries, the
facilities of transportation are against
ns. The completion of the Nicraeuan
Canal would change this condition of
things, and give, us a supremacy of the
benehts of which no possible future
complication could deprive us.
. What the Monroe Doetrlne Is.
A great deal is being said about the
Monroe doctrine just now.- The follow
ing isthe full text of what President
Monre said on the subject: "
"We owe it, therefore, to candor and
io the amicable relations existing be
tween the United States and those pow
ers, to declare thatr we should-consider
any attempt on theur part to extend
their system to any portion of this hem
isphere as dangerous to our peace a nd
safety.. With the existing colonjes or
dependencies of any European power,
we have not intefered, and shall not in
terfere. But with the governments who
have-declared their independence and
maintained it, and whose independence
we havey on great consideration and on
just principles, acknowledged, we could
not view any interposition for the pur
pose of oppressing them, or controlling
in any other manner their destiny,- by
any European power, in any light than
as the manifestation: of itn unfriendly
disposition towards the United States.
But in regard to these contingents, Cir
cumstances are eminently and conspicu
ously different. It is impossible that
the allied powers should extend their
political system to any portion of either
continent without endangering pur
peace and happiness; nor . can ' anyone
believe that our Southern. brethren, if
left to themselves, would adopt it of their
own accord. ' It is equally impossible,
therefore, that we Should behold such
interposition, in any form, with indif-ferencc'-Message
