THE REPUBLICAN POLICY.

Inc Republicans have won a great
victory, far greater than the most san
guine of them anticipated. Their cam
paign cry was 'hard times,'' and the
cause assigned was the Democratic
tariff. AS a substitute for that tariff
they had nothing to offer; it was suf-
f1clent TO condemn and cry down that
which eXisted. But now it is different.
They cannot sit in the House and Sen
ate and do nothing. If they do people
will begin asking themselves why they
gave them power. If they begin a
tariff agitation, "tinkering," they will
do that which they themselves have
declared a thousand times the people
did not want, and which they assigned
as the chief cause of the panic. But
should they persist in it, then the i'm
portant question is, what will they
offer? They will scarcely have the
temerity to offer the Mckinley law, for
that measure brought on them & land
slide of the same dimensions as the
one that has just oyertaken the Demo-
Gratis. That law proved itself entirely
of unprecedented prosperity that was
promised by its authors. Whether its
failure was owing to the fact that its
scale of duties was too high or too low
We leave it to its friends to say.
The Republicans are really in a
dilemma They cannot enact any legis-
lation that will affect the tariff or
financial policy of the government for
at least two years and a half, and only
then in the event of their gaining con-
troll OF all three branches of the gov
eminent, a thing that is entirely con-
tingent, and may not happen at all.
They must count with one other thing.
There is a return of prosperity and
business of all kinds will be in a
healthy and most prosperous condition
two years hence when the presidential
election comes off. If tariff laws have
any effect whatever on the business of
the country, then the Democratic tariff
law must get the credit for this re-
turned prosperity. The people, the
panic passed and almost forgotten, will
be willing to acknowledge the bene-
fetal effects of lower tariff policy and
will not care to change it.
Now, what will the policy of the Re
publicans in the next Congress be? At
first it is very likely to be a policy of
waiting and opportunism. After that
it will be whatever they think will be
most likely to meet with popular favor
it be higher tariff or a lower
tariff The situation is full of difficult
ties for them.

dredths untrue, the nonsense of its ed
itorial comments will be seen to be
equal to their mendacity.
The Tribune wants Secretary Smith
to be ''impeached" and pending that
our best citizens to telegraph re-
quest to the President to order his Sec
rotary of the Interior to execute the
amined to see whether his insanity is
dangerous or whether it is simply
harmless alteration. The whole case
is that the President has not yet APP
pointed the commission to examine and
report on the Uintah and Uncomphag gre
reservation lands Until that commits
sion has been appointed and has made
ITS report, Secretary Smith has moth
ing to do in relation to the matter
therefore all the ragings and frothings
OF the Tribune concerning him are SIM
ply evidences of an unsound mind
Whatever opinion Secretary Smith
may have expressed on the validity and
propriety of the law as to the manner
in which the asphaltum lands are to be
disposed of, he has no power in refer
ence to the matter now. All there is
to the Tribune's mess of contradictions
and its idiotic editorial utterances is,
that paper was hard up for sensa-
ton and as it must be abusing some
body, it turned it's filthy squirt-gun on
the Secretary of the Interior and that
without the slightest shadow of reason
or excuse. There is no expression which
1t has used falsely against Hoke Smith,
which does not apply with truth and
direct force against itself.

THIRD TERM TALK.

The Washington correspondent of
Chicago Herald says there is senti-
ment with some of the cabinet in favor
of third term for Mr.. Cleveland His
language is, But since Tuesday two
of his cabinet officers, one of them in
my hearing, have suggested the posi-
bility of a third term for Mr.. Cleveland
las the only avenue of escape for De-
mocracy from the slough of defeat in
which it now finds itself"
If any such sentiment is abroad it
finds no Judgement in and less favor
with the Democratic party. Not only
the Democratic party but the Ameri-
can people are as strongly opposed as
possible to third term for any Presi-
dent If such an idea has by hook or
crook entered Mr.. Cleveland's head, or
those of his immediate official family,
it would be interesting to know as the
candidate Of what party he would en-
ter the field for a third term The
Democrats do not want him, nor do we
believe that the Republicans or Popu-
lists do. He might rum on his personal
magnetism, that magnetism that has
alienated the old leaders of the party
from him as we'll as the people, that
magnetism that has made it COM
mon saying that Cleveland thinks
himself better and wiser than his par
ty.' His following, drawn to him by
his irresistible personal charm, would
scarcely be as am army with banners.

TT IS READY FOR PROVO.

AS might have been expected, the

Republican organ, follows up the fake

perpetrated on the public Saturday,

WHICH LEGISLATION.

The fact is. wherever he went he
found some industry that Democratic
legislation had crippled.
Which is not a Republican organ, says
about a candidate for office when en-
the stump. 1t is in line with the i'm
pudent announcement in the Provo Re
publican platform that the troubles
which came upon the country wei e
'the consequence of Democrleic legisia-
ton
VIII the deceivers of the public kindly
inform us what Democratic law was in
force when any of the industries of this
country were crippled? Tell us what
legislation was in existence when the
panic of 1898 burst upon the country :?
They know that they deliberately lie
every time they utter their ineffable
nonsense. The prostration of trade.
industry and finance was and must
have been the effect of Republican leg
islation, if of any legislation, for there
was no other and had been no other
for more than thirty years.
In the same paper which gives out
the falsehood quoted at the head of
this article. we find the headline of an
other editorial to be "Not the Tariff
but Silver and the whole effort put
forth is to show that all the trouble
has been caused by the demonetiza ton
of silver and the neglect to restore it.
Which was Republican doings without
doubt. More than that, it says:
Though these facts and the ability of
the Democratic party to put itself on
the right basis lies the only hope of
its recovering from the shock it has
just received.
Precisely. And on that ability rests
the only hope that silver has for it's
restoration. The people have virtually
put their feet on the white metal by
their votes at the recent election, and
trampled it down deeper in the mire
Whefe 1t was thrown by the Republican
party in 1873. And they have post
poned the day of it's redemption. In
1896, if they recover their senses and
perceive the falsehood with which thew
have been deluded by Republican
papers and stumpers, they can elect a.
Democratic President and Congress
that will have the power, ability and
determination to lift silver out of the
Republican mud and place it upon its
former pedestal side by side with gold.
Then prosperity will be assured, not
only for the West but for this entire ma
ton. And with a moderate tariff to
meet the expenses of an economical
government, the masses will share in
that prosperity which, for more than
two decades under Republican legisla-
ton, was shining solely for the classes.

THE ISSUES OF THE TIMES.

The return of prosperity to the coun-
| try through the settlement of the
tariff question, though denied by some
of our local Republican stumpers-much
to their dishonor, is conceded by the
Republican journals of the country and
is SO pronounced as to be indisputable,
except by pretendedly pious deceivers
like those to whom we have alluded
The only thing likely to arrest the
force flow of the tide in the right di-
rection is the threat of protection in
VOWED in the danger of the return of
Republicans to the control of national
affairs. 1t is generally believed that
| if the tariff question had been called
up in special session of Congress soon
after Cleveland's Inauguration, the re-
turn of good times would have been
Ihastened and that its effects would have
been so marked by the time for the
elections of 1894 that a very different
result would have occurred. Be that
as it may, a new source of disturbance
lis now in view and it will be bound to
have a retarding effect.
How far that will disturb the business
of the country it is not safe to predict.
from the fact that nothing definite can
be done to change the existing tariff
law until after 1896, except those minor
modifica tons which may be effected
during the last session of the Fifty
third Congress. And 1t is pretty GER
tain that while the Republican party
rail so much against the wilson law
a return to the extremes and mon
strosities Of the Mckinley law will not
be attempted. NTcKinleyism is dead
and buried and there is not power
enough left in the subsidy-seeking COM
binations of the country to resurrect
it and give it force.
The block in the way of full prosper
ity, then, so far as the tariff is con-
cerned, will not be very great, but
yet will have its effect. The worst re-
suit of the elections is the disastrous
blow its inf1icts on silver. It is a post
ponement of the possibilities for the
restoration of the white metal. That is
not only an evil thing for the West and
AOl y Ldil, Jul HdIl OC QelTI-
mental to the masses of the people
throughout the entire country. Gold is
triumphant through the Republican
victory, and silver is thrust farther
than ever in the rear.
However, the revival of trade and in
dustry which has accompanied the pas
sage of the Wilson law will go on, if
somewhat hindered by the causes we
have named. 1t may be that the
masses Of the voters will by the time
of the next presidential election see the
truth through the dust and fog of Re
publican falsehood and sophistry and
perceive wherein their true interest

lection in 49, They were deceived as

ests, they will rally again to the support

POWER OF THE PEOPLE.


One of the things that most i'm
pressed Professor James Bryce when
studying the United States and their
institutions and people, was 1.-THE exis-
tence in the American people of re-
serve of force and patriotism more than
sufficient to sweep away all the evils
which are now tolerated and to make
the politics of the country worthy of
its material grandeur and of the pri-
vate virtues of its Inhabitants"
There has just been an example of
this reserve and force in New York
city. The inhabitants of that city have
been g patient and long suffering peo-
pie. This had been their condition so
long that the country had come to
think that their patience was indiffer-
ence and their long -suffering a habit
to which they had become so used that
they ceased to realize its presence. At
last they have risen in their might and
overturned Tammany, that greatest
blot upon the American body polite.
Tilden did this same work once be-
fore. but it is so long ago and events
almost been forgotten. But it may
we'll be doubted if the Tweed ring
was such foul and noxious crew as
the present band Of harpies that has
been preying upon New York
Some years ago an attempt was made
in New York to down Tammany. Mr..
Francis Scott was nominated for may

support to give any particular weight
to the movement whose representative
he was. Since then Tammany has
reigned supreme and the metropolis
of the United States and one of the
richest cities in the world has been I'M
der the control of set of men to whom
politics was no more than a means
to provide them with plumber. How
we'll they have used these means to
further their own ends all know.
Tammany had come to think itself
well nigh invincible, and the power of
the press and public opinion was
jest with it. At laughed at threats and
scoffed at reform. These were things
for theorists, not for practical politi-
clans. But that which Tammany did
not greatly fear-utter rout and de-
featl-has come upon it. The people put
forth their power, their irresistible
power, and that against which it bore
had TO give way. But that power viii

poTtunity to place itself. in power
again. The snake has been scotched,
not killed. The. work of reform in New
York is but just begun, it will take
much time and hard work to complete
it. The Committee of Seventy does
wisely to maintain its organization. It's
work has been well done and has been
we'll rewarded. It shows what the
power Of the people is when invoked
it is irresistible and usually on the
right side.

The Boise Statesman has the follow
ing very significant paragraph on the
election returns from the southeastern
part of Idaho: The election figures
from the southeast constitute an inter
esting subject for the political student.
They show that the Republicans and
Democrats secured about equal pro-
portions of the new vote. In Oneida
county, an old Republican stronghold,
the Democrats got 60 per cent. of it,
while in Bear Lake, formerly strong
Democratic county, 60 per cent of the
new vote went to the Republicans. In
Fremont it was nearly equally di-
vided." Comment is needless.

obedience they slapped it in the face
with as little regard for fairness, graft
tude and consistency as the people OF
Utah exhibited towards the party and
the man who showered benefits upon
them.
1t is for the Democratic party to get
together its forces anew and marshal
them for the struggle that is to come.
In Utah the election of 1895 will be the
all-important issue. In the nation the
campaign of 1896 will be the grand
struggle to determine the fate of the
nation at the close of the nineteenth
century. Let every true Democrat per-
form his duty and the new century will
open full of promise for the cause of
human liberty.

One of the very hopeful signs of the
day in our country is the disposition of
an ever-increasing body of our citizens
to subordinate party pride to the general
welfare of local and municipal elections
A citizen may believe in every syllable
of his party platform, as the good man
believes in his church and every thread
of it's vestments,' and yet vote against
an unfit candidate, whose name is found
on his party's ticket. Parties are disci-
plned in this way Particularly in those
local contests where no question of poIiti-
cal principle. but partisan organization
only, is involved. AS to the necessity of
effacing party lines at times the best
minds of both our political parties are
agreed. They must find common ground
here if the abuses which spring up in
municipal government are to be removed.

Why a Republican newspaper should
continually harp on the chance the
Democratic party has to regain lost
ground by espousirG the silver cause is
hard to understand. To those who con-
slider the matter as it is presented it
looks as though the paper had no faith
in it's own party on this question. If
such is its view we think it correct
one, and it certainly is the view of
Senator John p. Jones, by whom this
same newspaper has been wont to
swear on all things pertaining to silver
in the past.

One OF the first things the Repub-

they get chance, is the income tax
provision of the Wilson law. The rich

to that tax, as IN favor of the system
Of protection and bounties which has
given them their enormous incomes. Of
course Republicanisln is opposed to the
tax on incomes above $4,000 year, be-
