ers. The Democratic party is the friend
of the masses. and as between these
The tariff means that if you go outside the gov
eminent OF the United States to buy anything
TO beautify your home or help your purse, that
you must contribute &c per cent. to the port Of
New York for the privilege. Ii we need pro-
lection, which means nothing except that the
cost CT what we buy may be increased. it is not
because we would be helped by it, We are told
that our lead mines would shut down If lead
were admitted .into the United States free Of
duty. This is one OF the strong points of the
Republicans In 1888 there was tariff OF IL
cents pound on lead But it was held that If
that lead was mixed with silver it was admitted
free On Oct. l. 1890. the Mckinley bill put a
duty on lead whether il was mixed with silver
or not. Now did our lead mines shut down
/ from 1883 to 1892 No. Yet we practically had
free ores in the act which admitted free lead
with silver ores. In 1890 lead was s. and now
| it is a. The cost of smelling was then ST.. and
today it is $40 per ton. [Applause.l Have the
wages OF the miners been increased Under the
present law
You can't obstruct trade The instinct of
man tells him that freedom of trade means his
material welfare. No Republican can point out
any workingman who has been benefited by
the Mckinley bill. Who fears free tradeg Every
man who has the interest of freedom loves it.
Nobody but the barbarian would want to be in
position 10 produce what he consumes and
consume what he produces. [Applause.l
Loud calls were made for Honorable f.
S. Richards, but that gentleman was not in
the hall. and the crowd catching sight of
the
INDOMITABLE TIMMoNY,
he was compelled to come forward, and
told the story of an Irish friend who hap
pened TO be passing through gu ola grave
yard, and while reading the inscriptions
upon the various tombstones be discovered
one which said: 81 still live" Squaring
himself and looking at the moss-covered
stone q moment, he exclaimed: "By my
soul, if l were dead I'd acknowledge it. -
tine application, said the speaker,
"need not SO further than TO the
efforts of q small faction OF our people who
were making mighty effort to live long
after they were dead. But today let Us
rejoice and be glad that we can inhale the
same breath of freedom which has swept
from Maine to Arkansas, and borne on its
wings the hdings of coming victory. We
need not regard the recent nomination by
our great opponent as more than an Incl
dent Tlaughterl, and in November next a
Democrat will be sent as delegate from
Utah to greet Cleveland in the White
House" Applause.
Repeated calls were made for
HON. NJ. F. ARNETT,
of Bingham, the well known leader of the
Democratic house in the last legislative as
sembly He said that it was time for
COUNSEL and thought and the gray haired
men OF the party should be to the front
with words Of wisdom and advice The
battle of this fall was the real great contest
which should decide the balance of power
in Utah for the next generation. In front
of the Democratic host were the !egions OF
an old and inslduous enemy, one skilled in
cunning and sharp practices. and to meet
them by all honorable means and dispense
them by the ballot was the high mission of
the Democratic party, (applause.)
COLONEL Il. G. LIT,
chairman Of tie territorial executive COM
mittee, was not allowed to keep his seat.
He said that there is an elemnt which con-
fronts the people, menace to the welfare
Of this county and territory. But it is
thnned down to such an extent that there
are only few of them who can be recog-
nized by their war paint. The Republican
party is the party to which we should give
some particular attention. l look upon it
as my duty to warn the people to look out
for the Repu blican party, which is an
enemy of the people. There never was a
time when the star of Democracy shone so
brightly as it does in this territory today
When the election shall come think the peo-
pie will demonstrate that the Republican
candidate for delegate to Congress was not
in the fight. l believe in the people
of Utah. / believe and have faith
in them. The election of a Re-
Republican delegate TO Congress would
be one of the worst calamities that ever
befell the people. We must have man in
Congress who can and will look to the in
terests OF this territory. The committee
ton Of Utah is large enough, that the peo-
pie are Intelligent enough and capable
enough to have statehood.
Ali who have the interest of Utah at
heart must not falter until an organic act,
passed by a Democratic Congress and
signed by Democratic president, is laid
before the people.
The well known official
j. B. TORONTO,
was likewise heard from. He disclaimed
ali powers of oratory, but had been doing
some work in the cause for which they had
assembled. He had read about the music
OF the spinning Wheel and said that his
mother used to spin-"her experience made
me Democrat" and [applausel and the
progress of the times and the innovations
of trade have thrown the old lady out of q
job Iapplausel, but if the Republicans go
on with their system of high tariff 1 fear
she will have to get down the old wheel
again and sing the old song. AppiauseI.
He urged all 10 attend to the details of
the work, registration, house to house can
u
Democratic success.
