THE CHALLENGE.
Democrats Put Up AID. Cash
Against ALI Corners.
he Is Authorized to Meet the Flower
OF the Republican Flock in Public Dis
cussion.

The Enquirer is still harping upon
the creation of its imagination that Mr.
a. d. Cash had accepted challenge
from a man named Brannagan to dis
cuSS the principles of both political par.
ties. A DISPATCH reporter called up
on Mi. Cash last night and asked him
what he had to say in relation to the
matter. He said:
You can say for me, that A. D.
Cash has never been challenged by any
one i'll Provo City to debate any ques
ton, consequently l have never ac-
cepted challenge from any one. A
challenge of this kind must be in writ
ing, and accepted in writing. Mere
street talk and gossip does not amount
to challenge or an acceptance Yet,
at the same time, never say anything
in the street or anywhere else. but
what l will fulfill to the letter.
"But how about the manager-editor
OF the Enquirer sticking to his PROPOSE
ton when he said to me sometime
ago, when talking to him about the ques-
ton of division L will be Democrat
when the time comes to divide, but at
present | am a Peoples party man?'
You can tell him that | say, Brace ND.
and stick to your word, for 1 propose to
stick to any thing that | ever said, or
may say in the future so far as
this man Brannagan is concerned, :"
continued Mr.. Cash, 'you can say Tor
me that l do not know the man.
l have never seen him that | know of.
He has never addressed me one word
on paper. 1t IS true l have openly
made the statement l would debate
the political question with any man in
Provo, or all OF them at once, and YOU
can publish this challenge in to-mor-
row mornings DIsPATcH."
Mr.. Cash thereupon handed the re-
porter the following
CHALLENGE:
To the Republican PARTY of Provo Citv-
As the authorized representative of the
Democratic party in Provo CITY. I
herewith challenge you to joint public
discussion. and will meet any man Sc
lected by the Republican party in Pro-
yo excepting my business partner) on
Thursday evening, July %, 1891, at the
Opera House, the proposition to be:
ReSOtred, That the Democratic plat
form adopted at the last National Con-
vention, advocates better methods
for the American people in mass,
than The Republican platform does and
further, that the Democratic party has
done more for the United States than
an' other political party that has ever
been in this country.
The conditions of the debate to be:
The affirmative to be entitled to one
hour to open, and the negative one and
one-half hours to make his argument.
The affirmative to have one-half hour
TO close the argument. Debate to be-
gin at o 'clock.

"The Defender NO. s, page 81
says: 'Our total product of wheat was
about $50, 100000 bushels in the fiscal
year of 1887, of which we exported IO1 :
81 $40 bushels, estimated at the New
York custom house of the value of 800
Il6.4Sl. The price of this as of the resi-
due of the crop sold here, is tired by the
price IN England.
land fixes the price in America-of
farm products only. The price of farm
products in England is the amount of
goods that can be had in exchange for
them. Wheat can be sold in England
at 50 cents bushel let us say. The
purchasing power of gold there is, i'm
manufactured goods, from one-third
to One-half greater than it is here.
while IN farm products It's purchasing
poW-r is no greater there that here. 1t
VIII not pay the farmer to import the
gold, therefore, So he invests in manu-
features abroad the price he gets for
his wheat and brings in the manufact-
ured goods. He can buy 200 yards of
silk abroad for 500, and oniv 100 wards
here for that price. But when he
brings IN these manufactures the ov-
eminent conhscates one third of them
at the custom house to pay the tariff
tax on them. Thus by act of the gov
ernment the purchasing power of farm
crops sent abroad is reduced one-tbird
so that the price in the home market
shall not be less than in the foreign
market. The foreign prices fix the
home price, and the government seizes
one-third of the foreign price at the
custom houses, thus reducing the price
OF all farm crops sold at home or abroad
by the exact amount of the tax levied
on the imported goods that are the pay
for the farm crops sold abroad.

The Fate of the Missing Men

VICTORIA, B. c., July 21.-Nothing
has yet been heard of the four missing
midslipmen of H. NJ. S. ''Warspite. !"
One of the canoes in which the young
men left for Pedden Bay has been
picked up, 1t is believed they are all
drowned.
The Dispatch. [volume] (Provo City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1891-07-22

But ''The Defender" then proceeds
to score the farmers in this silly fash
ion: THE price OF this exported wheat,
as of the residue of the crop sold here
is fixed by the price In England. And
the price there is fixed by Tie price at
which wheat can be supplied from the
British East Indies, where wheat is
produced by men who labor and bOarc
themselves ON wages of 10 cents u
day
''The Defender" knows, if it knows
| anything, that the price of
wheat Is fixed by the demand for wheat
as compared with the actual supply
and is not fixed by what wages are paid
in its production. As well might this
tariff baDbler tell the manufacturers of
cotton goods that the price of their cot
ton fabrics is fixed by the wages paid
to East Indian laborers at the cotton
looms, which are also 10 cents dav.
This scare can be applied to the plo-
ductlon of everything; it has no more
application to wheat than to cotton
cloth, silk. iron, or tin. This heoru
that American farmers cannot export
wheat because East Indian wheat
growers work for 10 cents a day. is dis
proved by the fact that American farm
erS do export wheat-to the value of
nearly $100O0O.0OO annually. But
The Defenders" remedy for this con-
dition which compels the American
farmer to compete with the East
Indian is, to tax the American
farmer one-third of what he still gets
for his wheat, so that he shall not i'm
port manufactured goods-the payment
for his wheat-into this country at all.
Take this profitable foreign market
away from the + rmer altogether and
give 1t to the manufacturer, is ''Thp
Defenders" remedy, so that the manu-
tacturer and not the farmer shall COM
tete with the East Indian. The
farmer beats the East Indian without
protection. To enable the manufac
tlTer to beat the East Indian. the
American farmer must stop farming
and let the East Indian raise the wheat.
and the manufacturer will send lis
goods to India and bring back Indian
wheat with which to undprsell the
American farmer in his own market.
Tax the farmers pay for his wheat
until he can nc longer afford to sell
wheat abroad, and give the East In
dian the privilege of supplying England
with wheat, ami then the manufacturer
VIII gain the market and the farmer
loses and VIII proceed to compete with
the pauper East Indian in the manu-
facture OF cotton goods and import
wheat in payment. The protested
sympathy for the farmer because he
must compete with the East Ind an. is
Il mere hoax. Every producer must
compete with everyone else in the same
business. The fact is, the farmers of
this country can and do compete with
all rivals without the aid of tariff taxes,
while the manufacturer demands and
gets a tax of 80 per cent. levied on the
farmers to aid him in taking from them
their foreign market. For the farm
surplus is turned into manufactured
goods by exchange, and thus completes
with the American manufactures in
manufactures to the Ameri-
can people. No wonder the manufac-
turers ask that the farmers be driven
from this exporting and importing
business.

MISLEADING LITERATURE.

The people of Provo and Utah county
generally, and, possibly other porti ms
OF the territory. have had scattered
broadcast among them by the Republi-
can party, a certain series of pamphlets
called The Defender" In these pam
phlets there is considerable misleading
statements and figures, tactics charac-
terrific of the Republican party, but
which are not fair in waging our politi-
cal battles. Speaking of this work an
exchange says:
The Defender" is published
by the American Protective
Tariff League, and In the Interests OF
the prote cted N ll-owners. It's avowed
object is the protection of American
labor and industries. " The real object
is to deceive the working people into
the belief that the protected mill
owners desire to pay their employees
high wages, and that with protection
they eau and Will do so. If the readers
nave never discovered that there is a
sort OF tactic agreement among pro-
tected manufacturers to advance
wages, these pamphlets hasten to as
sure them that such is the case. If the
people can be fooled into believing that.
there Will be clear sailing for the pro-
tected rich in tEeir crusade against the
laboring poor.
Some OF these pamphlets labor long
to prove that food products raised on
American farms are cheap or cheaper
here than they are I'D Europe. This is
fact Everything produced on Amer
lean farms is as cheap or cheaper
here than it is abroad. But 1.-The
Defender" carefully conceals the
other half OF the truth, viz. that every
thing produced in American factories is
from 10 to 100 per cent. dea1er than the
same articles produced abroad. That
is the whole point IN the tariff coDtro-
We rSy. Protection does not raise the
price OF American farm goods, but 1t
does raise the price of American manu-
featured goods. The farmers sell in
the cheapest and buys in the dearest
market. They pay protection prices
for everything they buy, but do not get
protection prices for anything they sell.
The Republicans tell the farmer he
should cheerfully pay double prices for
the things he buys, because he, in turn.
is protected by a tariff on wheat, eggs
and cabbages; and then they grayely
inform him that his crops sell for less
here than in any other country. Re-
publicans have deep and abiding faith
in the stupidity OF the American farmer.

The Ubiquitous PeddIer.


An outrage is just now being
perpetrated on the merchants of the
country towns. A band of peddlers
are flooding the country with their
cheap, inferior goods. They ascertain
from the bank, who are responsible
farmers, they sell to them $88.O0
worth of any or every kind of goods;
dry goods, notions, groceries and etc.
These farmers would not buy of the
local mer chant $4,000 worth of goods
for cash at any one time, to give
them a chance to compete with ped
dlras in price; and these peddlars pay
no share of school, town, poor or
county, tax to relieve the farmers.

EDITOR Sun:
Isee by the last issue of THE SIN
that you severely criticise the con-
dition in which the passenger coaches
are kept on the G.. N. r. r., all OF
which is well put, and everyone
getting onto the train at Morris
lately will bear you cut in youl
statement; and another thing exists
which is cause of complaint here,
and that is, when the mail train
comes in on the N. j. it is not an un-
common thing for a freight train on
the G. N. to pull up to The station
and go to unloading freight ant
switching, and delay the mail trail
at times, for about an hour in getting
in to the depot, thereby making tn,
mail so late that those living any
distance from the post-uflice Can not
get their mail until the Eext day.
The train on the N. p. is due at 5:3C
p. m. On Friday last, within min
ute or two of that time, the way
freight on the G. N. pulled up to til,
station, and at the same time the n,
z. train was pulling up to the G. N.
track. THIS freight train did its
work at the station and kept the
mail train away from the depot for
fifty minutes, thereby discommoding
all the people, many of them moi
getting their papers until the next
day. This N. P. train brings all our
morning papers and we want them
e'er the next morning. This is only
one time that / mention that this
has happened; but it is commoE
thing for it to be so, and the N. =.
train is kept from coming to the
station often by a G. N. freight train,
and write this to Call the attention
of the railroad people to it Sd that it
may be changed if possible. Per-
haps the n. P. company has no
rights at this station which the G. N.
is bound to respect, and if so the
people want to know, and the Post
master General at Washington ought
to know that the U. S. mail is being
delayed at the convenience of any

come, and went, from the
manner in which the shelves of
Wells, Bros. & Hanson's store have
been depleted. Their supply of
Xmas goods Il few weeks ago looked
inexlauStible, and we thought they
could have supplied the whole county;
but second, and a third invoice has
come and gone. This week brings Il
fresh supply. Tt is bewildering to
look through their latest arrivals of
silk Kerchief, Mufflers, Toys. and
usful articles of various kinds adapted
to the purpose of making ones friends
happy at this most happy season of
the year. We have come to the
conclusion that SO much of these
articles could not be sold in any one
store if the bottom had not fallen out
of prices. If you can get inside the
doors of that store we advise you to
look at those goods, and price them.
