The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1885-12-08
THE DEMOCRATS AND SILVER.

While the House of Representatives
is Democratic the Senate is Republican,
s othat if either party is opposed to the
suspension of silver coinage the Bland
Act cannot be repealed at this session.
Whatever politicians ia this State may
say to the contrary, however, the Re-
publicans are now, as they have been
for years, less inclined to favor silver
than the Democrats, and while there
are about lao Democrats in the House
of Representatives who believe in the
standard dollar, the highest estimates
do not place the number of Republicans
in favor of silver coinage above thirty.
While the Republican national platform
was non committal ON the silver ques-
tion, the Democratic national platform
declared emphatically for 1.-THE gold and
silver coinage Of the constitution, and q
circulating medium convertible into
such money without loss.
In the Presidential campaign the Re-
publicans in this State were silent on
the subject of silver, and could not be
coaxed or driven into q discussion
of the subject, though many Of them
are now endeavoring to make it appear
that they, not the Democrats, are the
friends of silver.
1t is known throughout the East that
Cassidy was the Incorporating friend
of the standard dollar, and that the
party Of which he was worthy repre-.
sentative prevented the suspension of
its coinage by the last Congress, yeti
both Cassidy and his party were defeat.
ed at the polls in one of the greatest
silver producing States Of the Union in
November, 1885. This fact will have
its weight in Congress- when the silver
question is discussed. and will be used
as proof that the majority Of the voters
Of Nevada as well as of Massachusetts,,
are opposed to the coinage Of silver. as
they defeated by their ballots the man
and the party, that favored the standard
dollar. .. IS Oh

It appears that the arrest Of Federal
officer in Salt Lake City by policemen
for violating city ordinance is causing
more trouble than the enforcement of
the Edmunds Anti Polygamy Act. The
Federal officials assert that disreputable
women had been employed by the dig
natares of the Mormon Church to en-
trap them. and Judge Zane of the Fed
eral Court decides that the ordinance
under which they were arrested is un-
constitutional, while the Mormons as
sert that the women were not acting
under their direction and that Judge
Zane's decisions are based upon preju-
dices rather than law. However, that
may be the Federal authorities have
created the impression in Washington
that there is danger of Mormon out
break, ania battery OF artillery from
Fort Om ,hs, Nebraska, was expected to

ing riots and maintaining order. 1t is
also reported that company of sol
diers will be stationed in the center Of
the city, to be ready at moments
notice to prevent an uprising.
1t seems incredible that it should be
necessary to send troops to Salt Lake
City TO intimidate the Mormons and
prevent an uprising. The Mormon
leaders, many of whom have valuable
interests in Utah.. are. too shrewd to
counsel such suicidal policy, and as
the Gentiles say that the masses Of the
Mormons are ignorant and wholly under
Che control OF the bishops and elders
of the church, they would not create a
disturbance unless advised by the
church dignataries to do so.

FARMERS IN COUNCIL.

The annual session of the Farmers
Nationa! Congress opened in Iudianapo.
lis last Wednesday. Eleven States
were represented. aud an address was
delivered by President Beverly of Vir
GINA. Attention was directed to the
depression in prices. which was attrib.
nted to malicious legislation. Congress
was asked to devote a little time to
legislation for the benefit OF agriculture,
and three measures were suggested for
the consideration OF that body. One Of
these demands the creation of an Agri-
cultural Department of the Government
another, the extension Of the Signal
Service. and the, third the suppression
