WEBER is ALL RIGHT,
Ihe Light Of Democracy Shines Everywhere
Eden Has No Use for Republican Club.


Eden Has No Use for Republican Club.
A great meeting was held at Edel
wednesday evening for the purpose OF or
Eanlzing q Democratic club. The hous,
was crammed to overfiowing and tunultu
Gus applause was showered upon the
speakers at every round. Josiah NJ. Ferrir
was chairman of the meeting and intro
uuced the Hon. II. w. Smith
Mr.. Smith said in substance: "The diff
fserences which separate the two national
parties are fundamental and the doctrines
81 Inc two parties do not, as some suppose
tend to the same form of government
The problem now before the voters OF
Utah is, Which form of government do they
preferf When they have decided this they
can easily determine which party to become
members of.
The Democratic party believe in absolute
equality of citizens and states before the
law, and believe that if special privileges
are granted 20 one class, corresponding
burdens are Of necessity imposed upon
another class. To this Democrats are op-
posed.
Republicans will tell you that they do
not believe in special privileges, but their
legislation discloses the fact that they do.
They levy protective tariff for the avowed
purpose of favoring the manufacturing
NAdocCs- 4hAs Ido OCCu ulduC
rageously burdensome, and the direct and
acknowledged effect OF IL is to favor the
manufacturer at the expense of the farmer
and laborer. Then they have recently in
vented reciprocity, by which the manu-
facturer is furnished foreign free market,
while the farmers must pay the foreign
tariff This looks like a special privilege,
Then by this same system the manufac
turer can buy all products which come in
competition with the farmer free in for
eign countries thus denying to the farmer
whatever benefit might be found in pro-
tectiYe tariff; and denying to him the right
10 buy anything he may need unless he
pays the home tariff.
You are told that the tariff has cheapeGsd
prices BY increasing production and the
price OF steel rails is given 10 prove this.
1t Is fooliShness to say that because BeSS-
inner invented a cheap process for making
steel that TO the tariff is due the reduction
In the price of steel
The credit is due to universal education
and not TO any system of taxation. In
every civilized community there are two
divergent tendencies, one is to the creation
OF classes and castles, ending in tyranny;
the other is TO oyerturn society and estah
lish anarchy. Each is equally vicious.
The first is the tendency of the Republican
party: the last of the Farmers alliance.
Democracy teaches men middle course,
that of the greatest liberty regulated by
law. We ask you TO take this course and
unite with this party.
Hon. c. c. Richards then spoke upon the
evils of legislation by the Republican party
tending to Capitalization of power. and the
abuses and corruption resulting therefrom.
lie also explained how the tariff, as Re
publican measure, has been enacted to
build up those who least need assistance,
and draws from the pockets of the people
unjust ana excessive revenues. He de-
Co.,
Legislative power of the government to as
sist any class of the people to secure wealth
and power at the expense of the masses.
The law of congress known as the Mckin-
ley bill has the effect of taking by the force
and power of the government more than
Yone third of the earnings of every man,
woman, and child in America, and placing
sixth of it in the treasury of the United
States, and fve-sixths of it in the pockets
of the manufacturing money kings who to-
way are the millionaires of the continent.
Is it just, is it honest, and is it fair for each
farmer in Eden to be compelled by thu Con-
gress of this great republic to pay
out of his hard earnings from 5000
TO 800 year tribute TO the infant indus
tries, or to any other industries than those
in which he is personally engaged. The
Republicans insist that ii is, and that you
become rich by SO doing, but we insist that
this government was never organized for
chl oANA PulpOSIs Gnu uOS pAOoIA-
tute itself In any such way.
Mr. John @. Tyler explained in clear
and convincing manner how the people IL
the eastern states had been misled by the
Republican party into supporting ii and its
monster protection these many years. But
at the last election they were thoroughly
satisfied of the shameful manner in which |
they had bean misled and robbed by the
g. o. D., and went te the ballot box and
routed the enemy from his every strong
hold. He stated That the farmers in the
east, and even as far west as Kansas, have |
decided that they will have no more of it /
anu the Republican party, and that the |
END draweth near. He then SPOKE about |
the necessity of organizing a club, and the
to be derived therefrGm, and |
the work of organization proceeded. A long 1
list of names was obtained to the roll, and !
Mr. James a. Thompson was elected presi- /!
dent: Mr.. Frcerer, first vice president; |
J osiah NJ. Ferrin, second vice president; |
Francis Clark, secretary, and John Farrell. |
treasurer. The meeting adjourned amidst /
much enthusiasm until some evening next |
week, st which time an executive commit
tee will be appointed and the constitution !
adopted.
RESULTS OF TARIFF PICTURES.
There will be no room in Eden for Re-
publican club.
The Republican orators at Eden Tuesday
evening succeeded IN finding but one
farmer who believed that his hens lay
more eggs because of the tariff on hen fruit !
provided by the Mckinley bill.
Tuesday evening, IN Eden, the Repub-
lican orators spoke most vehemently, and /
but one man answered to the call to sign.
Wednesday evening the Democratic speak
ers were repaid by seeing twenty Eden Cit
Izens sign the roll.
On the evening Of May the Republicans
.eid ! rally in Pleasant View, and after
spealking two hours succeeded in obtaining
six signers. About month ago the Dem
ocrars organized in Pleasant View with
forty seven signers.
Let the truth of Weber county's political
condition be known.
President w. G. Cragun has called an
1ther Democratic meeting for Tuesday
evening, June 10, and undoubtedly the
Pleasant View people will fill the house.
