A. ID. Cash Exposes Him
in a Neat Way.
If the DUTY Was Taken Of

Following is the speech in fall de-
liYered by A. D. Cash, Esq, at the
Payson Democratic meeting:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
After having heard the principles of
Democracy set forth, III the manner
that you have had this evening, by
the gentlemen who have just ad-
dressed you, it would certainly be
pre- sumptious on my part to add any
thing further, hence | shall not at
tempt to make a speech. But | want
to simply say that aS sure as the sun
rises In the east and sets in the west
(by means of the earth'S revolution J
and dispelS the darkness which has
gathered round our section of space,
Just that sure does the law of nations
teach that the principles of Democ-
racy are right. The Author Of this uni
verse taught the principles of Democ
racy, when he placed Adam in the
garden of Eden, by teaching him that
he was responsible being and capable
of local self-gOveInment. He taught it
when the first murder was committed
by telling Gain that he had tres
passed upon his brothers rights by
taking his life, that Abel had
breathe the eternal air, to move the
free elastic agents of the soul, as did
Cain, and for trespassing upon his
brothers rights the Ruler of the Uni
verse punished Cain NEST severely.
Just so with the principles of demOc-
racy. You recognize no more rights in
one man than IN another. in state of
nature, and from this standpoint all
have equal and exact rights. The
principles of Democracy are the belief
in Il system of civil government, based
on these free principles If nature. in
order to correct the acts OF individuals
and corporations when they trespass
upon the rights of others. Then to
carve nation out of nature, where all
have equal rights, who would be the
natural rulers, and V no would be the
men to make and execute the laws:
Would il not be the men whom the
people would select by their free bal
lots? We, as Democrats, think so.
But when we delegate those powers to
a Elan temporarily, that docs not make
/ him our superior, but only our servant
and his duty is TO work for the public
good. Grover Cleveland reduced 1t to
,h's: \ public Office is public trust :
Tie Office of president, or any other
office, does not make the individual
whom the people have delegated to I'll
/ it, have any more privileges OF natural
/ rights, than it does the meekeSt indi.
viJuI in lie nation or state. Neither
does amy man OF corporation of men
/ have one scintila or farthing of priv.
iiege from nature over any other indi.
vidual. Thus, if this principle is true
! the laws of protection fall to the
ground, for this is class legislation.

DRY is not Democrat, and with hin
We have no anlmus, politically. III
the Iangua OF Il worship no man
dead or ALIVE: hui If there is one man
/ who ever did live whom | would bow
down aud worship with all the fervol
and zeal that anjnates my being, il
would be al the grave of that great
and noble man who promulgated and

! ferson. [ revere His name next to thai
of the Savior of the world, and wher
our Savior propounded the universal
law Of human conduct, He reduced
mankind to d level. He recognized nc
higher parsonage in morals than ouI
neighbor. When we have discharged
our duty to our neighbor, we have full
Tiled our duty to mankind, for al
mankind are our equals and not oU
superi0rS. and weowe to our neighbors
neither obedience nor allegiance. Pro
lection means that the country forces
the people to pay a higher price fol
manufactured goods than the natural
laws Of trade would be. 1t violates the
laws of reciprocity in trade, and gives
! the manufacturers a chance to monop-
Ollie the markets, hence | am opposed
to it.
But, fellow-citizens, | did not get uI
here to make a speech, neither will |
but want to pay tribute TO one OF
| your distinguished citizens, who titles
from the name that it was coon. but
it isn't. I've seen it. / had the pleas
ure of shaking hands with it this cyoli-
ing. 1t reported our political meet
ing in this city to a certain daily titled
/ the Tribune which | believe is pub.
lished at Salt Lake City. In lis report
he stated that quoted the tariff tax
as being seven cents on clothing and
two cents on diamonds. Now, let me
say, if MiioZip had made his figures
about eight or nine times seven on
clothing ne would have come closer to
it. Il, rever that may be, | am credit,
ably ni,.ned that if clothing was
free or given away, and a man should
sell HIM drugs or any other merchan-
disc OF "a credit this man would never
get his pay from Milo-Zip; or if drugs
W re given away and You would sell
him clothing OF l credit, in that case
the clothing q reliant would never
get his pay. Ba. be that as it may.
hope it is not true Of Milo Zip, for il
that report is true, he ISN'T good
man. and | wouldn't believe this Of
him, for the world. But one thing
