GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MOkNlNU.
1t is with pardonable pride that |
THE DISPATCH makes it's bow to the
public this morning as a daily paper,
and ventures out into the broader and
deeper sea Of journalism. THE DIS
PATCH believes that in taking this
step it is supplying demand made by
the people of Utah county for daily
journal that will safely represent
their interests, economically, politi-
callv and otherwise. Our county in
population and riches ranks second
In this great commonwealth. No
other locality in all this western coun-
try has so many large and thriving
cities within the same area; in fact it
may well be called "the city Of Utah
county" so contiguous are all our
interests. 1t is for this broad city
that THE DISPATCH will use It's best
endeayors, and for no one locality, as
it realizes the interests of all within
the borders of Utah county are identi-
cal. Considering all conditions and
circumstances, the time is OPP
perfume for the publication of
newspaper that viii reach
the homes of the people before
the tolls of the day begin, and we do
mot doubt but what the public viii APP
preciate this fact.
We cannot better define our political
policy than refer our readers to the
platform of the Democratic party of
Utah, believing that in those prlncip-
piles is embodied the essence of happi-
ness and prosperity. Since the first
issue. published in January last, THE
DISPATCH has consistently cOntended
for the principle of Democracy, and
advocated the burial of the bitter
animosities of the dead past, and the
uShering in of the higher political era
We rejoice to-day that our fondest
hopes in that regard are being realized.
THE DISPATCH drew its first breath
of journalistic life but six months
since. That first breath was an in
spiration Of liberty-a deep breath, in
hailed as a mountain "eliXir of life, "
and eXhaled as battle cry of free
dom. The developments Of the few
months which have passed since The
DISPATCH was born have justified its
existence. Born with faith in Ameri-
can institutions and American citizens
as such. it was, because of its own sin
cere convictions, earnest purpose and
honest speech, not incredulous as to
the honesty, earnestneSS and intelli-
gent interest in our city, county and
at large, regarding all questions of
public policy and civic rights and du-
ties. The DISPATCH has therefore
gone on its way without parade or
bluSter. saying what it had to say in
the spirit of the one great President
furnished our country by the Republi-
can party, the immortal LINCOLN
with malice toward none, with chari-
ty for all. .
The independent and sterling Dem
Ocrats who had already taken their
stand on national questions and living
issues have been reinforced by many
more, so that The DISPATCH repre-
sents what it believes to be an honest,
fearless, patriotic, and certainly
growing constituency.
With the growth of public interest
in the discussion now upon us,
our sphere is naturally enlarged
and a daily edition demanded The
consistency Of our aims and views
save us from all danger Of making
ourselves ridiculous by the ground
and lofty tumbling" ofthe circus ring.
But let us not be too harsh in our con-
tempt for the acrobotic feats of our
ENQUIR-ing contemporary. Only
consider what dilemma our neigh
bnr was inl An organ without a party
j. in an even more embarrassing fix"
than a party without an organ
No wonder our nelghbor opposed to
the last the abandonment of local and
sectional organizations. Nor could it
be expected to fall in behind IAN in
fant Of days. like THE DISPATCH as
an out and out Democratic paper. 1t
was easier. it appears, to renounce its
journalistic proclivities of the past and
tie to the newly organized Republican
forces. Truly consistency is jewel, "
but one which the Enquirer viii get
along Just as well without when at
tempting to defend and expound the
protective tariff, for that is a task in
the present status of industrial affairs,
and i'm the medley Of conflicting views
and interests renders consistency oct
OF the question.
goods higher or by excluding them?
If they are excluded, we have seen that
not d cent Of revenue goes to the gov
ernment. but all the benefits are en-
iOyed 10y the manufacturer. But if
some goods do pay the high tariff
and come in, how can it reduce prices?
and if it does. how can our manufac-
turers succeed? They could not live,
the protectionist tells us. when goods
were brought in so cheaplY, and now
viii they tell us how they will be able
to survive when imported goods are
cheaper?
Please give us some logic showing
by what process of reasoning you are
going to harmonic your theories with
the facts.
Again we say, follow up those pro-
tectiOnist assertions to their logical
conclusions and you will come to the
same result that every political econo-
mist has-that is. that the theory is
wrong. just as DANIEL WBsTERR did
and as GLADSTONE has, and as many
other of the greatest minds of the
earth have.
