Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-09-09
THE L" JINGO" CAMPAIGN.

The Republicans and Prohibitionists
are having q genuine monkey and parrot
time in Maine, and the law-abidng and
gentlemanly Democratic candidate is
getting the benefit thereof, on the old
time principle that when rogues fall out,
honest men get their dues. The only
difference, however, is that the Prohib-
tionisis are not rogues, but good, honor
able men, who have been in the grasp OF
rogues for years, and are now trying to
release themselves and go into the
house OF the party that never betrayed
its friends and always strictly admins
tered the law OF the land rs it was
written. Mr., Frye, true to his name, has
begun the frying process on his party
and before this time next week it will
have changed to the roasting process, and
Blaine and his boom will look like Bar
Harbor clam that has had an all sum-
mers sun-bath Mr.. John b. Finch, who
is chairman OF the National Prohibition
Committee, is the cook who will do the
roasting and basting and the following
from his caustic pen gives warning to
Frye, Blaine & Co. that something will
"drap" on Monday next
There is but one of two things for
you to do, viz. Name the leaders and pro-
duce proof to sustain your charges, or stand
branded as a slanderer and coward. l can
understand how man who blindly follows
leader who he admits is 'smirched,' should
think all other leaders are of the same kind
but his thoughts do not justify him in at
tacking my character without proof to sus.
tain charges"
Whatever may be said OF the wisdom
or justice of the aims OF the Prohibition
party, it cannot be truthfully said that
its leaders are scoundrels, and Mr.. Finch
proposes that it shall not be, with mpun-
ity. Blaine, with his usual jingo per-
suasiveness, tells the lumbermen, clam
diggers, fishermen, farmers and ship
builders OF Maine, that he is the own and
only true friend OF labor in the country,
and that he never voted on the labor
interests but for the good OF the working
man. If there were no Congressional
Record this would be good as "jingo"
point, but alas for men whose brains are
filled with scheming to the exclusion of
honest records, Mr.. Blaine is recorded
in the Record for March, 1871, as
voting to abolish or repeal all
duties on coal, thereby reducing its
production TO figure at which 100000
honest miners would be left to starve, az
they could not make living wages on its
production here, il the coal fields OF Eng
land, Canada and Australia were brought
into direct competition with them, and
flooded the market with their products
OF pauper labor in those countries. Pig
iron Kelly, ior whom the DEMOCRAT has
no especial love, in his place in Congress
characterized this'' jingo" vote OF Blaines
as IAN outrageous assault on the interests
OF American labor, "and Pgiron Kelly is
staunch Republican, double-riveted and
copper-lined. Oh, there is high old
time in the clearings and in the lofty for
ests OF Maine, which grow livelier with
each day OF the present week, and will
end in showing the ''jngo" orator that
chin'music, chesnuts and chicanery are
very sorry weapons to fight honest and
clear-headed men with
