The Dispatch. [volume] (Provo City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1891-07-29

From Sundays Daily.
The Democrats held a monster rally
at the Opera House last night. The
Enterprise band and Democratic drum
corps WAS around town about 80
O'Clock notifying the people of the fact
that Prof. Paul and f. II. Dyer, of
Salt Lake. would speak at the Opera
House, and they succeeded in drawing
good audience, who listened with
wrapt attention to the speakers.
Judge Dusenberry took charge of the
meeting, and i'll neat speech, intro
duced
EX-MARsHAL F. II. DYER:
Ladies' and Gentlemen This is the
/ first time L have ever stood before you,
as speaker, but l want it understood
| that | am q Democrat, and l will al
WAYS he one. l was I, Liberal for a
| long time, because L thought there
was work to perform before state
OF affairs could be brought around which
would place us all on plane of better
feeling. But | think that this party
and the Peoples party should never
/ have existed. Ii You were to travel
through this Territory and meet the
people | have met, YOU would all see
that the Peoples party were IN ernest
in this new move. | know they have
taken noble stand in this matter, and
they should have credit for 1t.
Judge Powers OF salt Lake says that
the tariff is not the issue in Utah, that
/ ii makes no difference what we pay for
goods; but | say it is the issue between
the two national parties, and we have
our tariff sharp along with us tonight,
aud he Will talk more tariff to you in
ten minutes than any man in Utah. |
want to talk to you on the disfranchise
ment subject, and l want to say to you
| that have never been in favor of dis
reimbursement. The Republican party
has always been unanimous for dis
| flanchisement, and their history will
bear me out in it. At the close of the
war, they started it by keeping Demo-
Gratis from the polls at the point of the
bayonet. The Fifty-frst Congress,
which was composed of Republicans,
( tried to pass the law to diSfranChise all
the Mormons and gave the power to
the Utah Commission to control cleo
tiUns. AS it is, if we want an election
we must ask them when, how, and
where. This is Capitalization OF power,
this is Republicanlsm and you have
had a taste of it. They tried to pass
the Lodge Force Bill, most outrageous
III assure, and they intended it to apply
to every State in the Union, although
/ they tried to make us believe it was
only for the Southern States. We have
been abused by the Liberals for this
move but when | am in the right l
care not what any one says about me.
/ The speaker then talked on the adyan-
tages it would be to Utah to have state
/ hood, and Yentured TO say that it would
come through the Democrats, although
it was not desired yet by any means.
PROF. !. II. PAUL
was introduced and said: ut has
been announced that | would answer
Mr.. Horr's speech made some time ago
in Provo, but if l had had the making
of the announcement l would have put
it more mildly, as l am not the orator
/ Mr. Horr is. Mr.. HOrr stated that
/ the Republicans put tariff on salt.
/ thereby reducing the price, and that
/ they lowered the tariff on sugar, and
hence lowered the price. This is just
/ the same as saying two and two makes
/ four. and four and four make
/ two. Applause. The speaker then
/ showed how the tariff being taken off
/ sugaEreduced the price on sugar as it
/ WoulI on any other article. The
speaker then took cloth, agricultural
! implements and tin plate, which Horn
claimed would be reduced in price in
three years. and showed that the new
inventions for working tin would, of
themselves, make it cheaper. Wire
nails would be made cheaper because
of the new machinery for making it.
/ But Mr. Horn claimed it was the tax.
He dared not quote the foreign price for
these same nails. The speaker went
over all the things mentioned by Mr..
| Horr, and showed that while the tariff
! lowered the price in this country, &C
curding to Horr, free trade lowered
! the goods in other countries, and they
were enabled to sell goods at prices
lower than this country The speaker
continued, there is tax of IS a head
paid to the federal government by the
| tariff In Provo then we pay S4S 600
year to the government, and what do
we get for it? Only the Utah Com
mission, applause. a probate judge
and possibly one OF two deputy mar
shas, and much as these gentlemen
are worth, l don't think you get S48,-
600 worth out of them. | now make
my first proposition, which is this:
Every thing we import we pay for
with exports. One is the pay for the
other, The Republicans tell us that
the imports are a constant drain
on the country, taking away all
quoted figures from the report
of the secretary of the treasury showing
that our exports equal and sometimes
exceed our imports. The Republicans
tell us that by making our exports eX-
coed our imports we will receive gold
and silver. We ship goods to China,
but no Chinese money is in circulation
here, We ship goods to Germany but
no German money is in circulation
here. And it is so with other cOun
tries. The speaker then showed the
exchange plan between foreign coun-
ties, and demonstrated that gold and
silver did not pass between the coun-
tries, but that it was simply an eX-
change Of goods. One-fourth of all the
American farm products are shipped
abroad, and by shipping we get goods
in return for it, but the Republicans
want to destroy this surplus. When
we send buSheI of wheat to France
we get in return q yard of silk, but here
/, the custom house officers cut Off half
of this because the American manu-
facturer objects to it, and claims that
they can't compete with the pauper
labor OF France. But the only com
petion the American manufacturer has
is the American farmer, because he is
the man and the only man that buys
the goods from foreign countries.
, There was project on foot in France
once, to shut out the light of the sun,
in order that the companies turning
! out chandeliers, lamps aud other nee
essaries Tor artificial light, might
furnish work for more people.
This is the Republican idea, always az
: ter work, oh, yes, always trying . give
the poor people work. Ii ever, was
t to pay me fifty cents with the Lee, chat
! will build factory with the money
2 and give employment to lots of men, ]
: would be doing an abundance of good
= that is Republican doctrine. Now the
Democrats say, if you leave the fifty
cents with each man he will DO his
share OF the good instead of one mar
