f"The congressional campaign commit
tee has reason to and does feel greatly
assured over the reports that come
from Utah." said Senator Faulkner,
chairman of that committee, to The
Herald correspondent today. I'VE are
in constant receipt of information re-
garding the conduct of the campaign,
and realize that our party has compe-
tent leaders, and that an organization
that will do good work is being per-
fected. We have sent matter out there
and regard this field as very important
With wool on the rise and conditions
growing better under the impetus Of
the new tariff and the conviction that
must come to your people of the friend
illness of the Democratic party to silver,
must come a. tide in our favor. Raw
Inns nomination gives great pleasure
and adds to our hopeful view OF the
situation
l. Senator Faulkner expressed the pre-
vailing opinion in political circles of
Washington regarding the possibilities
in the new state While wool was
down to a very low price under the de-
plorable conditions brought about by
thirty years of Republican misrule, and
the people were blaming hard times onto
the Democratic party, the conserva-
tive leaders had cause to fear that the
people Of Utah would be deceived by
the sophistries of the agents of aggre-
gated capital and would give the state
over to the robber barons of this coun-
try.
Now, however, they can see little to
fear They rely ON every woman who
buys a school suit for her boy or who
attends any of the bargain sales this
fall to become an enthusiastic supporter
of the new tariff law as soon as she
sees how much cheaper goods are this
fall than last. The wool men cannot
long be blinded to their interests, and
as they see their product climbing up
day after day and giving prospect Of
still going on and their recessaries be-
coming cheaper, they are likely to be-
gin to do some pretty hard thinking
about the cause of this, with the result
that they will become ardent supporters
of Democratic tariff reform policies.
No person of a logical mind who sits
down and starts to think out causes
and effects of economical movements,
can be aught but a revenue tariff man.
He will see as he goes deeper into the
subject that the benefits of protection
are but limited and transitory and
bring in their train destruction to the
industieS they fostared at first. The
only reason the protective idea has
ever held sway is that the majority of
the people have refused to think upon
the question, but have allowed them
selves to be blinded by conclusions not
justified by facts and narrow examples
that could not represent the conditions
of the whole country or whole people.
But the time has come to think Even
the Republican papers are admitting
that prosperity is coming on apace and
Indignantly rebuking those Republicans
who would still howl about calamities
Day after day John Wanamaker in
creaseS the attractiveness of his adVer-
tisements of lower prices owing to the
reduction of duties, and closes the
mouths Of those who would try to deny
that this has come to pass. Day after
day factories are opening UP and with
their busy hum drowning the plaintive
accents Of the Republican protectionist,
monopolist demagogue. In spite of the
Republican sugar bowls, that COM
modify still continues to be lower under
the new law than under the old, and
Havemeyers words when under exam
ination are still before the people. If
there was a surrender of the Demo-
Gratis to the Sugar trust, what right
have. the Republicans to criticise it in
the face of the emphatic words of the
president of the Sugar trust? Here is
the question and answer that spoke SO
strongly:
(Which do you regard as most
favorable to the Sugar trust, the Nc
Kinley law or the Senate bill?
President Havemeyer[I regard the
Mckinley law as much better for the
Sugar trust, of course
The J0hn p TOOa- n111b i,o;da,,4
tracted a. great deal of attention in
Washington as one of the best political
Jokes in the market, and several Repub-
lican brethren were almost ready to
rush to Salt Lake to help the club out
of the hole into which it fell.
