RALLY AT MILL CREEK.
An Enthusiastic Democratic Meeting
There Last Night.

The Democrats Of East Mill Creek
turned out in force last evening and the
rally was rousing one. The principal
address was made by DR.. H. ]. Faust,
who spoke substantially as follows:
In 1882 the same conditions existed
that do now, the calamity We're
abroad in the land. The Wings, under
the leadership of Henry Clay, with the
assistance of Calhoun and the disaf-
fected Democrats; the capitalist, with
the purchased printing press OF the
land; all the banks called in their loans,
holding meetings and passing con-
demnatory resolutions.
The hog-buyers of Cincinnati gave 1t
out that if Jackson was elected, pork
would be worth $1.50 per hundred; If
Clay was selected, it would bring $3.50.
They succeeded in creating a panic, so
much so that real estate fell aid over
the land; in Boston it fell from 25 to
33 1-3 per cent. Brick fell from So to So
per thousand; there was no labor for
the laborers, everything came to a
standstill But when the election was
over and Clay got but 40 electoral
votes out of 2SS, Jackson receiving the
balance, It made change and Jackson
was vindicated. Times got good, Con-
silver equal to 16 to l. Tariff lowered
to about 20 per cent.
Mills and manufa ctorieS started up,
new ones were built, everything was
thrifty and the country was happy.
Thomas Benton says: In the eight
years Of Democratic (Jackson) presi-
dency, retrenohment and economy were
the orders in every department"
The war debt of 1912 was paid off. In
1886 we find Congress discussing how
the surplus money in the treasury
should be divided between the different
states. In his time, the price of public
lands was reduced to $1.25 per acre.
The only trust that existed in his time
was removed-namely, the Bank of the
United States.
On sending the vetoed bill back,
Jackson says:
every monopoly and all excessive
privileges are granted at the expense
of the public, which, ought to receive
fair equivalent The many millions
which this act proposes to bestow on
the stockholders of the now existing
bank must come directly on or indi-
rectly out of the earnings of the people.
1t is due to them, therefore, if their
government sells monopolies any exclu-
sive privileges, that they should at
least exact for them as much as they
are worth IN open market.
There is no mistaking his language.
He meant that there should not be
built up a monopoly and a money
power, hence the Veto and hence adj
the opposition to his administration.
When Clay was beaten and Calhoun
came so near being hung, the oppose
ton quit and the country became pros
porous. We have the same thing ex-
listing now, only that instead Of one mo-
nopoly we have $50. The Republican
party has ruined the country by the
demonetizing of silver, granting trust
nonopolies and money powers. Now
they want to lay the hard times to the
Democrats. This country is now pay
ing annually $685., 04O, 1856 in interest.
To whom? England mostly! Is there
any wonder that we have hard times,
with money out of sight, gold going UP
and everything else going down? More
than six hundred millions going to
bondholders every year and nothing in
return coming in for it! 1 say, Is it
any wonder that times are hard? Who
makes them so? Ladies and gentle
men, the country is bankrupt The
Democratic party has been elected the
and the country will be safe
in a short time.
Utah Democrats two years ago sent
Joseph L. Rawlins as it's agent to
You all know what he
did for us. He will finish his work
when he goes back and finish up the
statehood business, and get back the
real estate that the Republicans con-
fscated from the Mormon church.
Is there a man within the sound of
my voice who for a moment thinks
there is any man in Utah who can do
as well-say nothing about doing better?
[ know you all with one accord will
honestly say that he is the man, and
he will go. Utah will be admitted and
admitted as a free Democratic state,
with free silver and statehood.
One word to the ladies': Who gave you
in Utah? The peoples
gislature-who were all Democrats |
but two! Who will restore it again? |
The Democrats.
In conclusion, ladies, who will you
vote for, or who would you vote for if |
you had a vote? I see by your looks, |
Joseph L. Rawlins-that honest, virtu- |
JUS Joe!
