tai customs and institutions. The Ia
vorite method of expressing its as
sumed sentiments was, that the moth
ers of Utah looked upon the sleeping
i form of the female babe in its cradle
and prayed God and the Tribune that
it might not be destined to become a
member of the Mormon home But
when the people of the United States
had elected a Democratic adnlinistra-
ton, Senate and Congress and there
was at once adopted the policy of rec
ognizing every voter in Utah as an
American citizen Irrespective of his re-
Igion, the Tribune Gts occupation
gomez saw a great light, its policy suf-
fered change.
! Now if Mormon will come to the
/ Republican party with contrite
heart his sins will be forgiven
The Tribune will furnish the water
4, from the healing pool that will erase
the scarlet letter and the only danger
/ to the sleeping babe arises from those
Mormons who vote the Democratic
ticket.
The change of base upon this ques-
ton necessitated other changes. For
years the Tribune had abused the Ma
tional Republican party for having de-
monetized silver, and for having as a
party policy prevented the relnoniti-
cation of that metal.
! It's present course demonstrated that
lit never was a silver paper; that its
editorials were clap-trap, employed be-
cause that course was popular in the
west Now the Tribune is asserting
that the road to National Saliva
ton lies through the camp of the Re-
publican party; yet, the Republican
party has not changed its course an
liota, towards a complete single stand
ard.
The Tribune of six months ago as
serted that the reconciliation OF sill
yer meant personal and national pros
lperity, yea, the prosperity OF the CIV
ilized world.
That the decentralization of the white
metal had cost the people OF the United
States more money than the war OF
the rebellion, and that a. continuation
of that national policy meant slavery
of the masses and aristocracy Oh the
| creditor class; now, the Tribune as
serts that the Republican party is the
party of progress, that the return OF
! that party to power is a panacea Tor
| all ills. and that the danger signal Is
fying over the rooms of Chairman
Wilson's headquarters who proposes
reduction of the tariff tax
In one respect the Tribune mas not
changed it's method. It always had to
have an imaginary devil incarnate with
his band of devoted followers who were
children of hades, following the Prince
| of Darkness; against whom the Tr1-
bune was supposed to be continually
launching shafts of light.
| Brigham Young is dead; the Tribune
| is now trying. to lead his old friends
| into the Republican political bright
light; and now, Grover Cleveland and
the Democratic party have become the
| ina ginary enemies of mankind.
In the columns of that paper Cleve-
land one day is stalled OK, whom the
democrats worship and fear, next an
ass, who has drawn the grand prize
| in the lottery of politics. next the pup
lpet of Wall street. who's volition is
subject to strings in the hands of
bankers, and next an autocrat, who
handles cabinets, Congress and the
destiny Of the nation. ''as though they
were the titular dignitaries of the
chess board
The Democrats although in the ma
jority in this republic are, according
| to the Tribune, divided into two
classes, traitors and fools; the traitors
| trying to adopt the policy of the de-
| funct confederacy, the fools co-operat-
ling with the traitors and striving all
under the leadership of Cleveland to
reduce wages to a. Chinese basis. OF
course that great good and patriotic
| class, the employers, the wealthy man.
lufacturers, are trying to prevent the
reduction of wages and the Tribune is
| their prophet.
| In 1901 when the Democratic party
came into power with Jefferson as
president, the western boundary of the
| United States was the Mississippi
! river. the southern boundary Florida
and the Gulf of Mexico.
| In 1854, when the Republican party
was born. the western boundary was
III ~.E
and the Gulf of Mexico. The territory
of which Utah is comprised was ac-
quired under a Democratic administra-
ftion the result of a Democratic war.
Greasy an English historian, author of
THE Fifteen Decisive Battles of the
World ISSUED in 1850 in his comments
on the battle of Saratoga admitted that
history contained no mention of any
people who had made such progress as
| the American people; and further that
| it was impossible for any historian to
write complete history of the Ameri-
can republic That during the time
necessarily elapsing between the writ
| ing of the first chapter and the last
succession of new events would take
place that would render all surmises
commonplace. That the star of our
progress moved with a rapidly that
bewildered and dazzled the nations of
Europe.
The Tribune asserts that this nation
was a stranger to progress until the
| Republican party came into power in
| 1861; that Republicans discovered the
meaning of the word progress and ap-
piled it's meaning to national affairs.
| On the 18th inst. the Tribune present
ed an editorial on Russian policy, stat
ling how that nation had moved with a
precision of fate for two centuries,
| toward the policy of ruling the trade
of the world; how a, railroad is now
being constructed to open up the agri-
cultural possibilities of Siberia: how
that nation is reaching out to control
the trade of central and southern Asia:
lyet in the same issue it advocates the
policy of building Chinese wall of
protection around the United States:
| of living within and upon ourselves:
| of sinking our merchant ships and
constructing. our ports by legislation
hostile to commerce. The Russian edf-
torial ends with g little twaddle about
silver, while every issue of the paper
comments the Republican party. the
arch enemy Of silver in the United
States
| The Tribune wells facts with sophis
! try, hides truth with word painting.
and tries to cover it's past assertions
with the mantle of oblivion. 1t tries
| to deceive the public with false head
lines over press dispatches; appeals to
passion instead of reason, and is phar
iisaical in its every utterance Wrong
/ by a Republican becomes a virtue,
| right by a Democrat becomes a, vice.
