For president of the evening the
HON. ]. D. PETERS,
the well known councillor and friend of the
school law in the last legislative assembly,
was chosen.
He spoke of the work OF the past few
weeks and the man selected to carry out
the wishes of Utah in the next Congress
and then amid great applause introduced
MR.. ]. L. RAwLINs.
Those who have known this gentleman
Tor life time and have seen him at the bar
OF the territory as well as of the Supreme
court of the United States. only to be
proud of the ability and learning there
shown, felt last night that in truth and in
fact no mistake had been made in selecting
him as the standard bearer OF the Demo
cracy of Utah. AS speaker upon law
/, questions MIR. Rswlins has no superior in
the territory, and last night proved him
even greater and more eloquent in the field,
with whole people Tor clients and the
principles and history of the great party of
which he is an honored member for
theme.
From the days of the establishment of
the republic. the hour when the Declara-
ton OF Independence was signed down TO
! the last national convention, the history,
the doctrines and the faiths of the party
were presented in manner that would
have adorned the rostrum of any leading
college The Senate of the United States
would have been more than edited, and as
for the people of Brigham they we're spell
! bound by the mastery effort of Utahs
great son.
The doctrines of hs party have been dis
cussed by ADLER takers the field has been
gone over thoroughly and the cleaners are
now ct work gathering up the lost sheaves,
but the subject, for originality IN thought,
earnestness and magnificent eloquence in
present ation, where the almost trite ques-
| tions Of the authors and the topics of the
cam paigner were handled with skill never
before seen in Utah.
| The exact position Of the founders of the
parties; the doctrines and true views of
! Webster and Calhoun; the Virginia and
Kentucky revolutions; the conspiracy to
centralize the government at the time of
Jefferson's election; the denomination
] act' OF 1882; the expressions Of the people
| through various conventions, were all pre-
santed with the hand OF a historian and
the skill of an artist, while the repeated
attempts on the part of the now dominant
they dare not do otherwise was exposed,
and the lack CT trust in al the people was
proven to be the practice if not the pro-
fesslon OF the Republican party.
"The Almighty, and not Republican
tariff law. made this country,n said the
orator, as the house fairly rose to its feet
with laundering applause. isolate peo-
pie and you impoverish them" he re-
peated, as he discussed the laws Of trade
and the true effect of the rule of supply
and demand when applied to the wage
earners and the disposition of our surplus
products.
mo constitutional right exists to take
tax beyond what is necessary for the
! support of the government, aud when the
opportunity 10 trade wherever O people
may choose Is shut out their liberties are
encroached upon"
The sham and subterfuge OF reciprocity
as put into practice were presented IN most
damaging colors, while the history, growth
and objects of the tariff legislation Of the
world was traced WITH rapidity and clear
ness, showing beyond cavil that the men
who wrote the present law on duties are
reRpirg the benefits.
1.-The taxing power was famed out
larplause to those who for such con-
slderation are willing to accept IL as re-
ward for keeping the party in power. The
more than one million majority against the
met TO resign as 1t would have done IN the
stronger and more centralized governments
accepted by the Republican party rs their
exemplars and guides.
''To interfere with the laws of trade is
TO interfere with the laws of health, and
post disastrous consequences may ensue"
''By a0hering to the doctrine of high
tariff, our country but wears one Of the
worn out and discarded garments of the
dark ages, which has made it possible for
%, 600 men TO own one-half of the wealth
Of this entire nation, and cause the western
farmers to go down while the eastern man
ufacturers have been going up"
The only free trade which the Republic
can party will consent to is free trade in
human labor, and under the contract labor
law-which it passsd-thousauds of Ameri-
cans were driven from their homes and
legitimate employment.
IN place OF encouraging manufactures,
its policy only encourages the sh0dGy max
ers, and soon we will be wearing the old
clothes of some country not SO cursed as
our own.
when that party hears of failures in
crops abroad it rejoices, and thus demon
strates lta belief in the great doctrine of
the fatherhood of COD and the brotherhood
of man
missionaries are sent abroad to save the
souls of men, but the loaded ships that go
out of our harbors are expected TO prey
upon the misfortunes of the world in secur
ing an exchange with which they rob theil
own countrymen on the return.
az am standing on the platform which
favors the reduction Of taxation Of ali kinds
TO the smallest rate possible consistent
with the maintenance of our government
one cent more than that is robbery and this
people will not stand it'
Applause, and three cheers were given,
the audience rising TO their feet, for the
eloquent gentleman as he closed.
Such speech has never been heard in
Brigham or in Utah, and 10 supplement IL
was an impossibility.
ALFALEs YOUNG.
All felt its completeness, and when Mr..
| Young at the urgent request OF the COM
mittee favored the unwearied audience
with a short. appropriate and witty talk on
local issnef. he did SO at the risk OF spelling
g complete picture. However, he was
listened TO with attention aud interest, his
made and the audience parted with him re-
luctantly.
The campaign party left Brigham for
Terrace via Corinne, and thence goes south.
The feeling here is solid for Rawlins-
after such a speech it could not be other
wise.
The local differences here will not be
allowed to interfere with the main issue
before the people OF Utah.
