An Enthusiastic Crowd Filled Tag
CARTS Hall to Overlooking.
The Democracy of the Fourth turned
out in large numbers and filled Tag
CARTS hail to overlooking. A section
of Held's band was in attendance and
played enheartening airs that served
to make great deal of enthusiasm
The Herald bobtailed quartette was also
present and interlarded the remarks
of Judge Powers with some campaign
songs that showed up the absurdity OF
Republican doctrines. The precinct
drum corps was also there and did
excellent work.
10 Cohen, representing the Demo
cratic committee, opened the meeting
with a few we'll chosen words on the
election and with an expression of a
hope that the Democrats will turn out

feat of Varian.
JUDGE POWERS.
The Democratic platform is broad
enough to hold all of you and all should
come on it. In the theatre the other
night said that we in this intermoun-
| tain country should be most prosper
Gus people according to protectionist
ideas, because we have the great tariff
which makes more wool grow on the
Sleeps backs and the rainfall, and
besides we have a natural tariff in the
| high freight rates The paper on the
Republican side said that this state
ment was a hit at Professor Paul, thSn
whom there is no more able man in the
territory. But l wanted simply tc
show that the tariff, whether laid by
the railroads or by the government
does not create, for this railroad tariff
has not created many industries in
this territory. The Republicans are
saying that if Mr.. Hall is elected the
wages of workmen in this country will
be lowered. But you know the tariff
does not protect any wage earnerS, as
there are shiploads of paupers brought
in every year to compete with oul
laborers. The wages of labor are gov.
erned by the law of supply and de-
mand. If there are two worl1ingmer
! looking for one job, then wages are low
and if two jobs are looking after one
Workingman, then wages are high
Then the Republicans are looking after
infant industries that are now about
100 years old. The quartette here how
ever, can give you a good idea of how
the Republicans foster infant indus.
tries.
The Herald quartette then sang
THE Infant Industry" which is a
ditty on the history of the government
pap fed institution that becomes q
monopoly too large for the comfort OF
| the country. The song drew forth q
great deal of applause. Judge Powers
resumed his remarks by endorsing the
sentiments contained in the song ano
by citing examples of the way in
which these infantile beings have
grown into monopolies of the worst
type. He continued:
! But we are not now discussing the
tariff question so much as another
question that is of great interest tc
the people Of this city and territory, q
question that overshadows all Others

This man may believe in that protec

other night a paper of Charles Crane
where he makes a plea for the tariff
