Mr. Black continued: There has
not teen n free aud pure Presidential
election Ia the United States for more
than generation, but there will bc

when Thomas Jefferson was elected.
The felerallsts tried 10 count him out

nefafious scheme. The choice Of the
people was given its proper place and
Justice was vlndirnted.
On every side, Utah will have the
organized strength OF the Democratic
party OF the United States 10 assist her.
In 1902 a Democratic President will be
elected, aud more than that, he will

Democratic Majority In the United
States since 1870. Considerably

Mr.. Black closed ihus: do not pro.

sort Of fnther 10 the young orators
whom l have with me. I will now
retire aud give you an opportunity 10
hear the young senator from West Nir

gallant young orator from Indiana,
who has numbef of times run IN
against the nose Of Speaker Reed Ia
the House N Representatives. | Will
now give way 10 the heavy artillery.
The speaker was often interrupted
with applause.
Atcr a splendid selection by Kenps
military band,
nON. W. u. nYNuM
was introduced. He said. On our
mission for Democracy we have met
with splendid receptions. We arc not
here 10 excite aniinositics, but In tho
Interest Of education. Our purpose is
to call forth calm, dispauiouato dis
cussion.
We eau debate with our opponents
calmly on all political topics. believe
the masses arc all honest--ouly the
leaders aud benchciarles are apt TO
grow corrupt. There has been change
even among our Republican friends IN
late years ON the tariff. Presidents
Grant and A rthur aud even Garfield
did not hold 10 the Views that are now
promulgated. In lssO they admitted
the necessity Of tariI reduction aud
appointed commission which made
reduction Of 20 per cent, but In the
Iugglcry Of legislation II was increased
IL per cent. Whether you are state
OF not you arc affected by the same
laws NJ the rest Of the country. " the
tariff In the present form In the inter.
eat Of all2 10 was 5 per cent, per
cent, Is per cent, TIL now It Ia % per
cent.
In 1857 even the 10 per cent. reduc.
ton was made at the request Of the
manufacturers. The war tariff was
only a temporary measure, but now We
bear greater burdens even than
In war times. All branches OF
business were reached then. The
hrst tax repealed was the ''lncomo
tax, f" which reached the wealthy but
not the laborlng classes. All this was
done for home market-thc greatest
fallacy ever presented TO n people. The
consumers are In the unprotected list.
Not more than i've millions belong TO
the protected list.

are higher here by 10 per cent. than
elsewhere, but yet tits the cheapest In
the world. There IL something that
enables ours 10 turn out double that Of
