QUITE A CONTRAST.

We have heard Of no Democratic
speakers in the North or in the South
indulging in personalities or endeavor-
ing in any way but by argument and
comparison of principles to sway the
public mind. But we have heard of
Republican stumpers resorting to all
kinds of vituperation and recriminarion
some Of which they mistake for humor
The old gag that while every Demo-
crat may not be a horse thief, every
horsethief is a Democrat" was repeated
by prominent Salt Lake Republican,
who ought to be above such things, at
Payson recently, and he appeared to
be paralyzed because he did not gain
applause. We hope our Democratic
friends will not be tempted to retort in
kind. The arguments are all on our
side. They are more powerful than per-
sonaEties. The facts also are in our
favor. Let them be clearly presented
without exaggeration. The record of
our candidates is without d flaw. Let
what he has done be held up to public
admiration and as a reason for his re-
turn to Congress.
The contrast between the injuries
done to Utah by the Republican party
while in power for over thirty years,
and the benefits conferred upon Utah
during one session of single Congress
by the Democratic party, is so striking
that it only needs to be sharply drawn
to form an overwhelming reason why
Utah should be a Democratic state.
There is no need to call hard names or
to cast reflections upon the motives of
men.
The miserable failure of the Repub-
lican legislature and the preference it
showed for bountles to beets, canaigre
and worms at the expense of schools.
colleges and other educational and
charitable institutions, are legitimate
subjects of public criticism and form
an argument that all clear-headed peo-
pie can appreciate against giving Re
publicans the power to control parti-
san constitutional convention
Let the Republican buncombe dealers
and political buffooDs have monopoly
of the slurs and slops, the rancor and
the ridicule, the venom and the vine
gar. No one will object to a joke ut
tered in kindness or al little harmless
fun at an opponents expense. But Bit
terness should be avoided and misrepre-
sentation Stunned, and only when the
other side resorts to personal Islander
will it be necessary to make odious
comparisons. If our Republican friends
desire to enter into anything of that
kind we can assure them that we have
no reason to fear it. In any kind of
necessary weapons or warfare the DEM
ocratic party Of Utah will be found
fully prepared and equipped.

BEEF AND IRON TELL THE STORY.

| 1t may be interesting to our farmers
to know that the price of beef in Eng
land averages IA cents per pound,
wholesale rates.
| In the Chicago market the average
price of beef dressed and sailed is 6
cents per pound. This is cents per
pound less than the English price.
The average price of bar iron in
England is $50 per ton; in the United
States $50 per ton. Bar iron is $40
dearer per ton in this country than
abroad.
But the most interesting thing con-
nected with these facts is that both
these articles are protected" by our
tariff laws. The farmer is protected
by a tax on cattle, so as to put him
on an equality with the manufacturer,
who is protected by a tax ON iron.
Now. the farmers protection is a
sham. His beef is sold at s cents less
per pound than the English free trade
prices. The iron-master's protection
is a reality. His bar iron is sold at 500
per ton higher than the English free
trade prices. Protection enhances the
price of the manufacturer product,
but not of the farmers product
These articles are typical of all the
others. In general we may say that
every thing the farmer sells brings less
than the English price. The English
price, less the freight and the COM
missions from here to England,
shows in every case how much
the farmer gets for what he
sells. But for every manufactured
article the farmer buys, he pays more
than the English price. The English
price of manufactured goods, plus the
freight, plus the commissions, plus the
tariff tax, is the amount the farmer
pays for the protected manufacturers.
Farmers should paste these facts in
their hats. The, prices are the official
figures given in the United State statis-
teal abstract and in MulhalPs Diction-
airy of Statistics. The farmer sells
cheap and buys dear. That is the
whole of the tariff question. There is
nothing more to it. And the significance
of this fact as to prices is so plain that
he who runs may read.

LIMITED FREE TRADE.

Republican organs and orators say
reciprocity is good thing, and refer to
our trade with Cuba, BRAZIL and other
South American countries, to prove that
it is. If reciprocity, which is nothing
but a restricted free trade, is such a
good thing, why would not larger
free trade be a good thing? The ex-
pertinent with reciprocity was not made
until four years ago. Before that time
the Republican party did not want even
a limited free trade with any country.
Is it not possible that if the system
were extended that the benefits to be
derived would also be extended? Who
can say that it would not until the ex-
pertinent is made and the results def
nitely ascertained?
An important matter that the advo-
Gates of reciprocity overlook, and which
they never attempted to explain, is
that England without any reciprocity
treaty with Cuba, Brazil or the other
countries with which the United States
has had such treaties, does more Bust
ness with them than this country does
England goes into their markets and
buys what she wants and offers in pay
ment the things they want. England
is unhampered in the matter while their
tariffs hamper their own people. And
how will our reciprocity and protec-
zionist friends explain the fact that
those same countries with their high
tariffs do not become great manufac-
turing countries? Protective tariffs are
for the avowed purpose of encouraging
manufactures, yet they have failed to
do SO in those countries with which
this government had these reciprocity
treaties.
If England can trade with these
countries to advantage, then the United
States can. The natural resources Of
this country far surpass those of Eng
land both in extent and variety. There
is nothing in this world that is to be
obtained that can be obtained by her
that cannot be had by u.s. She gets
the raw materials for her manufactures
Wherever they are to be found, and we
could do the same but for our hateful
tariff laws. Is English ingenuity great
er than American ingenuity? Are Eng
lish workmen more intelligent, more
capable than American workmen?
We would not concede it, yet it is
claimed that the American work.
man must be protected or they
will fail in the struggle for
commercial supremacy. Are Ameri-
cans to be charged with cowardice.
and is it to be said that they dare not
meet the men of any nation in any
kind Of a contest?
The protective legislation of this
country, under the false pretense of
being for the benefit of the workmen
and the laboring classes, has been for
the benefit of the monopolists and the
trusts. The people have been plumber
ed while being told that they were be-
ing protected. To divert attention
from this plundering, a limited free
trade with some South American
countries was established. Why not
extend the area of it? It is the trade
of itself that is a good thing and not
the fact that it chances to be with
countries to the south of us rather
than to the east or north that makes
it good thing.

RIGHTS OF BUYER AND SELLER.

Up in Minnesota the Republicans are
making pretty active campaign. They
are appealing to the people to stand
by the principles of protection and to
present bold front to the silver ques-
ton and not allow themselves to be
caught with the arguments of the free
silver men. Governor Nelson is the
great champion of protection while
Congressman J. T. McCreary is the
champion Of gold and the challenger
of silver
Speaking at Mankato few days ago,
Governor Nelson referred to barley, and
said that prior to the enactment of the
Mckinley law Canadian barley usurp-
ed the American all through the, New
England and Middle states. The brew
ers and masters were in the habit of
getting that barley and using it and
not dealing with us in the West"
The Mckinley bill raised that to 80
cents a bushel, and what was the re-
suit? Why, the Importation of Cana
dian barley kept dropping off until
year ago it was less than 100000, and
the barley that the MASTERS and brew
ers of the Middle and Eastern states
were using was produced in the West.
In other words, the Mckinley bill forced
the masters and brewers of the middle
and eastern states to buy Minnesota
barley; that is, they were forced to
pay tribute to Minnesota because Min
nesota is Republican. These masters
and brewers were buyers, but were
compelled to buy in a restricted and
specified market.
Congressman McCleary in a speech
delivered by him at Pipestone a few
days prior to the one delivered by Gov
ernor Nelson, from which we have just
quoted, said: IF a farmer who is
equally convenient to two markets finds
that he can get for his wheat or his
barley, his eggs or his wool, better
price in the one market than in the
other, he viii, othei things being equal,
take his product to the market Offering

necessary is to place the two docu-
ments in contrast and the difference is
at once perceptible. There is no adj
vantage to be derived from the latter
that is not provided for in the former,
but there are several advantages in
the former that were not in the latter.
We do not know why the Tribune
still pretends that the two papers are
equal in advantage to persons who
were under disabilities from violation
of certain acts of Congress, but sup
pose it is for its common purpose Of
deceiving people who only read what
it says on such questions and never
take the trouble to look at the other
side.
But if the Tribune really wants some
gentleman to explain the matter furth-
er, we refer it to the numerous gentle
men of prominence and known ability
who could not conscientionsly register
under the thing called the Harrison
amnesty. but who did register as soon
as the Cleveland amnesty arrived, and
which covered their cases and relieved
all who have not violated the law since
January 3, 1898.
The Harrison concern was limited to
one minor offense and up to remote
time; the Cleveland sweeping amnesty
covered all offenses connected with and
including polygamous marriages up to
comparatively recent date, and ex-
tended to persons who had been con-
victed and were laboring under civil
disabilities in consequence. One was
exceedingly narrow and almost use
less; the other is broad enough to
cover the entire possible ground of
pardon and it's practical application
has been demonstrated beyond reason

Congressman CcCleary, of Minneso-
ia. who. by the way. is one of the most
prominent Republicans of that state.
discussing the silver question, SAYS:
II have often wondered at the audacity
and 61nendacity that would permit to
insult the intelligence of the Ameri-
can farmers by saying to them that
there is some relation between the
nrice of metal dug from the noun
fairs of our western states and sub
iect for its price to a set of conditions
neculiar to itself and the price of the
nroduct of our broad prairies, whose
,,rice must be largely governed by con-
dttfons peculiar to themselves. The
nroposition that there is any intimate
relation between the value of an ounce
~ silver and a bushel of wheat, a ton
~ hay or a pound Of butter is so trans
1arently false that 1 wonder at its ut
terance by any man of character and
,nteliigence." II Congressman Nc
r-earv viii take into consideration the
n,,,,,ey function that all silver that was
45rod iced had. prior to its demonetiza-
ton by hi party in 1873, he can soon
ans out the relation between the fall
in the price of silver and the fall in
the p4ace Of farm products.

Still we are waiting for some gentle
man TO explain in what way the procla-
nation of amnesty issued by President
Cleveland carries more strength than
did that issued by President Harrison:
what advantage can be derived from
the latter one that was not provided
for in the former.
That is from the Salt Lake Tribune.

carries more strength than that issued
