PREJUDICE AND PATRIOTISM.

Our morning contemporary can as
sumo the role of two diverse characters
at the same time and play them bet
| ter than any one we know of.
1t is very anxious to let the past be
past so far as Utah is concerned he
cause the part it played in that past
is not calculated to win votes at cleo
ton time. 1t deprecates that this
should be brought up with that same
sincerity of soul that was SO marked
a feature Of the makeup Of the re-
nowned Mr.. Pecksniff. It always tells
how some Democrat did this or an
proved that. The Democrats are per-
fectly willing to stand by their rec
ord in Utah in the past Their fight
was for principles, but they fought as
mea and forgive as men. They do not
care to drag up the past because they
are living in the present and are look
ing to the future.
Our contemporary pitches its note in
the key of patriotism when it speaks
of the past struggle in Utah 1t gets
on to high plane and would make its
readers believe it could not do anything
but from principle and to further the
public veal. But we know it; and
fox with its tail cut off is fox still
1t processes, we use the word adj
yisedly, to have an intense desire not
to open the old fight in Utah, but it
has no objection to opening the old
tight with the South and waving the
bloody shirt over issues that were de-
cided forever near thirty years ago.
Why open the wounds made then? Is
not the sole purpose to rouse preju-
dices in the hope of turning them to
the present advantage of the Republi-
can party? 1t is any worse to rouse
a local prejudice than a national one?
To us it seems not, although we have
tried to discover wherein lay the diff

THE REPUBLICAN APPEAL.

The only appeal the Republicans have
made to the people of Utah is one for
the restoration of the Mckinley law.
Mr.. Cannon is avowedly in favor OF IT,
That law was the most extreme form
that the doctrine Of protection mas
ever taken. 1t proceeded on the theory
that a people can enrich themselves by
taxation of themselves, which in pollt-
ical economy is nothing but an attempt
to raise oneself by ones boots. The
principle of that law was that it is the
proper sphere of government to hand
over one part of the people to be
preyed upon by the other. 1t asserted
the right of the manufacturer to COM
pei American citizens to buy of him and
at his price It denied to the American
buyer the right to spend his money as
he chose and where he chose, thus in
part claiming right to spend it for
him. That is the theory of Mckinley
ism, and the practice of it was en-
forced by the government
Ut is for an endorsement of this the
DRY that the Republicans have appealed
" TIE people OI OISH HAS d solliS iC
man in Utah heard a single Republican
make a single argument other than the
one that appeals to their pocket? The
whole campaign, so far as they are con-
cerned, has been one constant appeal
to mans cupidity. never once to hia
moral nature or the principles under
lying it. The right to prey upon others
has been urged as a reason for voting
for Republicans; the rights of the peo-
pie preyed upon have never once been
mentioned. When it is said that if the
Republicans are placed in power they
will give ample" protection to all who
want it, is not that a promise to hand
over the taxing power of the govern
ment for the benefit of favored inter
ests? If bounties are promised, must
they not come out of the taxes the peo-
pie pay for the support of government?
No Republican appeal has been made
ito the intellectual and moral nature of
the people. They have ignored the di-
vine part of man.

TO THE DEMOCRATS.

The election tomorrow will decide the
political fate of Utah. In the past Utah
has been Democratic and it is Demo
cratic today. When the polls close Tues
day evening let the verdict of the peo-
pie go forth to the nation that Utah is
Democratic
tomorrow every Democrat should
take personal interest in getting vot-
ers to the polls. The Republicans are
alert and will resort to all the tricks
OF which they are masters to catch
votes. Watch them and thwart them
at every turn. They are putting on q
bold front and assume an air of con-
fidence they doNnot feel. 1t is a ps-
Of their play; nothing more. Their one
object is to win the election. Let that
be the object of every Democrat.
There are always two dangers at the
close OF campaign-oyer-con
ana slackness. They should have no
FAVOR with Democrats tomorrow. The
tifne is past in which converts can bo
made; the thing now to do is to get the
converts already made to the polls.
Ihey should all be gotten there as
early as possible that any doubtfuls
may be looked up later. At all elections
there are voters who are apathetic.
Ihese should be looked after especially.
with every carriage there should be
sent tried and trusted Democrat.
Leave nothing to the drivers. All things
Indicate a Democratic victory in Utah
tomorrow, but nothing should be left
to chance.

ference, if any exists. Is not our con-
temporary afraid that if local preju-
dices are aroused among the people OF
Utah that they will all be hostile to
it and the party of whic1 it is the or
gan-no-organ?
This contemporary would make it ap-
pear that there was some connection
between the Utah Democracy and the
Confederacy. 1t does not succeed. One
thing is certain, and that is that the
Republican party never was friendly to
the people Of Utah and would not be
today if it did not expect through its
professions of friendliness and interest
in them to gain some advantage. The
people of this territory always looked
upon the Republican party as their
political enemy and they looked upon
it in the true light.
The Herald is making its fight on
living issues and not on those that are
dead and buried. If our political bat
ties in Utah should be fought out on
the political principles professed by
either party, and they certainly should,
then the dead issues over which the
civil war was fought should be al
lowed to be dead the same as the is
sues over which the people of this ter
ritory fought in the past.

THE FUTURE OF SILVER.

So far as silver is concerned the min
ers and people of the West are most
interested in its future When consid-
ering political parties and how they
stand on the question of free coinage,
they are most anxious to find out which
of the great parties is the more apt to
favor their cause. To do this they
necessarily take into consideration the
history Of the two parties and what ac-
ton they have taken on the matter In
doing this they find that from the foun-
dation of the government up to 1873
silver and gold were both received at
the minis and coined into money; that
it was free coinage for both metals In
that year silver was demonetized by
the Republican party, that party being
IN control of the government at the
time. That party has had ample op-
portunity since that time to repair the
wrong done, but it has never repaired
it. Is there any likelihood that it will :?
On this point let the great champion Of
silver, Senator John P. Jones, of Ne
vada, speak. On the 29th of August.
1894, he, lifelong Republican, a man
foremost among the leaders of his party.
left the Republican party and
assigned as his reason for
so doing the fact that there was no
hope for silver in the Republican par
ty. He may not have been sure of
where the hope for silver was, but
sure he was that it was not in the Re
publican party.
The hope for silver in the future lies
in the Democratic party. Look at the
bold stand the Democrats in Ohio have
taken on this matter. The South also
wants free silver. Tt is scarcely neees-
sary to say that the South is Demo-
era O.. 1t is true that some Democrats
are not in favor Of free silver, but the
tendency of the Democratic party is
all in favor of it, while the Republican
party is in favor Of gold alone The
Republicans Of the Rocky Mountain
states are in favor of silver, we ad-
nit, but they are the only Republi-
cans who are and this is the important
point.
All interested in the future of silver
should remember these things. Dele
gate Rawlins' two speeches on silver
attracted attention everywhere and
made him a leader in his party on that
question. He says the great majority
of the Democrats in Congress are in
favor of silver, and he knows The
wise thing for the miners and all
friends of silver to do is to vote for
Mr.. Rawlins. If Mr.. Cannon were sent
to Congress his influence in behalf of
silver would be nil because his party
would be against him on it,

THE CONSTITUTION.

tomorrow the voters of Utah will
elect the men who are to frame the con-
stitution of the State of Utah. 1t is the
first time in the history of the territory
mat they have had this opportunity
Dhere have been constitutional conven-
tions In Utah before, but they were not
called in pursuance of any enabling act.
At best their work was tentative. Not
so in this case.
Inc people know the men who have
been nominated for delegates to the
constitutional convention and they
should choose the best. The work of
the men so chosen will shape the politi-
cal destiny of the new state for years
TO come. 1T is of the utmost Importance
that the constitution should be such an
instrument as will meet with the ap-
prevail of all the people, for they are
to live under it.
Let no man be chosen a delegate who
would deprive any part of the people of
their common rights Let no man be
chosen who would seek to make of the
constitution a partisan affair or incor-
porate in it any notions or ideas that
are cranky" Hobbies are for plat
forms and not constitutions. Choose no
man who is making pledges or prom
lses regarding what provisions shall be
put in the constitution. 1t is not. a
code Of laws but a fundamental law
that is to be made. Above all see that
the ticket you vote IS the ticket of your
choice, and that you do not get your
ticket with the constitutional delegates
on into the ballot-box for delegate and
county officers; and vice versa

UP IN IDAHO.

The campaign in Idaho has been an
exciting one. Into it have entered
many elements that tend to make the
results of the election tomorrow doubt
full. If the Democrats and Populists
succeed in getting control of the legis-
lature, which now seems likely, it is
probable Democratic senator will be
elected. If Populist should be elected,
he would train usually with the Demo-
Gratis as have other Populist senators.
In some parts of the state, particular
ly where the Mormon people are in the
majority, the Republicans have resorted
to all sorts of devices to gain their
votes. and we understand that it has
been sought to give out the impression
that the leading authorities of the Nor
mon church in Utah desire that the
Republican ticket shall win. Every
Mormon must know that this is false
as those authorities have publicly an
nounced that they have no desire in
the matter. They are not going to
stultify themselves in this matter for
any party.
Is it not an insult to the Mormon
people in Idaho to use such arguments
to them? Whenever such an argument
is used it proceeds upon the theory that
they have no political convictions and
that they can be used as mere pup
pets to do the will of some one else
The men who will use such arguments
to the Mormon people have no faith
in their political professions, otherwise
they would address their arguments
to their reason in the hope of convincing
them. Such men do not even think it
necessary to appeal to their prejudices.
Let the Mormons treat these men with
the contempt they deserve. They will
turn on you the moment it is their in
terest to do so.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

The people of Utah just at present
are having an object lesson in trusts
and their ways. The Lehi sugar fac
tory, which is a home industry in the
best sense of the word, started by citi-
zens of Utah with their own capital. is
not controlled by the Sugar trust. but
is competitor of it. The trust wants
no competitors and so has begun a war
on the Lehi factory. The people of the
territory should stand by the home en-
terprise and boycott the trust product.
Let the people in their Individual ca
pacity rally to the support of our home
sugar factory.
The Republicans have been telling
the people that the Democrats are re-
sponsible for the Sugar trust. 1t is not
SO. 1t, like every other trust. is the
outgrowth of Republican legislation.
During the past three years the Sugar
tlust has paid Something like seventy
lmillion dollars in dividends. Did it
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-11-05

earn" these because Of the duty laid
on refined sugar by the Wilson-Gorman
bill, which only became operative on
August %, 1894, or because of the IA
vors shown the trust by the Mckinley
bill which had been in operation since
October, 1890?
The Sugar trust which is trying to
kill a Utah industry is of Republican
origin. The Democrats tried to make
sugar free and so kill the trust, by a
''pop-gun" bill, but the Republicans
stood by the trust. The thing for the
people of Utah to do, regardless of
politics, is to stand by the Lehi factory.
