HOW 1T REACHES.

for the future the west can no longer
b. ignored with safety. One has only
to reflect that to the west the south
is linked as "With hoops of steel" both
commercially and socially, to enable
one to properly estimate the gravity of
the situation. 1t is certain that the
orders sent annually from the south
have fallen off thirty-three per cent.
this season, those from the west over
forty-eight per cent. This, in the ag-
gregate, amounts to nearly or quite
eighty per cent. of western and south
ern patronage. Need any one longer
wonder at the closed factories, the
small importations, the armies of idle
men and women to be supported by
charity this winter throughout the east
and north? 1t amounts to sum of
suffering before which the largest
minded philanthropist of the age
may well stand aghast. 1t is not only
that our silver mines are idle, our
southern enterprises are crippled, that
crime, murder and suicide are rampant
here, but that the same conditions ex-
list all over the land, ayel in Europe,
the far east as well as, the isles of old
ocean. There is practically no limit to
the fearful sum of misery occasioned by
the stagnation, the result of the demon
etization of silver.
Some of our good friends tell us that
these evils are the result of Mckinley
ism, but McKinIeyism does not
directly affect industries in India,
China and Japan or these distant lands
would not have been prosperous
up to the very day of the clos
ing OF the mints of India
and then have been plunged at a mo-
ment's warning into the financial
abyss where they lie helplessly dying
now. McKinleyism is without doubt a
great evil here at home. The tariff
Mckinley was the father of was de-
signed only to pinch our own poor, but
it did not reach those other and dis
tant lands-was not so intended, in
deed. But this silver evil is the pro-
duct of combined resolution formed
by the RothchIlds, the bankers
of Frankfort, of Berlin, of Amster-
dam of London and of New York, to raid
the poor still further and increase the
power, riches and luxuries of the rich
men of the world.
Restore silver and this entire land
from one end to the other. England,
France, Germany, Russia, the Indies,
China and Japan, would feel the impe-
tus of renewed hope at once-in day,
indeed. Continue the policy of de-
monetization and all the free trade, all
the protection and all the tariff COM
promises which have ever entered the
brains of men cannot lift the load of
misery from the over-burdened should
ers of the poor ana the working men
of the world.
Two bold facts stand out in full re-
lief in this connection. There is not
enough money of ultimate redemption
without silver. There is too little
money of any kind and even if there
were enough the middle and lower
classes-With our crippled and worse,
destroyed industries, these classes
have nothing to trade for it, |
The armies of idle despair |
ing and suffering men must
grow larger and larger as the
days 60 on. There is no help for the
and no help for the future
unless we return to:the financial pol.
y which favored all instead of
d single class. We suffer here in
Utah and in all the wide west, if it
would lessen our burdens to know
that all the world suffers similarly,
they would be light indeed. But un-
fortunately the suffering of the world
but increases our own; ours in return
but increases theirs. The bankers ex-
pertinent has been costly one, indeed,
Dut if it is not very soon abandoned,
lhe peace of the world, the law and
1rder forces of christendom will sue
cumb before the ever advancing tide Of
InarchY, which is richly fed by the dis
resses of the poor.
