The Evening dispatch. [volume] (Provo, City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1894-10-22

| its platform Declares oyer Hawaiian
affairs, proceeded to address you. He
made tie startling ana unfounded
statement that not one pledge made bi
the democratic party had been fulfilled
! 10y the last democratic congress. He
declared that it had increased the ap'
preparations over the last congress
when the truth is that they were re-
d ced nearly twenty-nine million. He
! bemoaned the tax on sugar but omit
ted to state that the tax on whisky had
been increased and that capital will be
| forced to bear some of the burdens of
government by paying tax of two per
cent. on all incomes above four thous.
and dollars per year. lie bewailed the
fact that there is tax on sugar but he
failed to state that the democratic
house placed sugar on the free list and
the democratic senate would have
agreed thereto if the republican mem
bers had not prevented action. He
denounced the issuance of $4,000, 900
of government bonds by the Cleveland
administration, but he did not state
that which is true, that it was through
republican nlismanaG ement that the
bond issue became necessity. Things
had gotten in such shape that before
the close of Mr.. HarrisOn's admins
tration, his secretary of the treasury
declared that an additional revenue of
$50, 000,0 per annum would have to be
provided in order TO meet the expenses
OF the government.
Then again Mr.. Cannon denounced
the sugar trust, but opine that his de-
nunciatiOn was about as sincere as are
the tears of the crocodile. put some
questions to Mr. Cannon at Spring
tue other evening. They were printed
in the Salt Lake Herald, bat as Mr..
Cannon has not yet seen fit to answer
them, | again repeat them, as they re-
fer to a subject upon which the people
Of Utah have the right to have some
information. Mr.. Cannon is the man.
ager of d corporation called the Utah
company, | want to ask Mr.. Cannon
whether that corporation is Utah
concern in anything except it name?
Have Utah people any interest in 1t
than to the extent OF the Saltair beach
and railway property and the Coalville
coal mines? Does not Joseph F. Smith
as we'll as some others hold shares for
the benefit of outsiders? Is not the
corporation sugar trust scheme and
does not and is not the sugar trust to
furnish the money? Was there not
representative OF the sugar trust in
Utah when the papers were signed
here in Provo a few weeks ago? is not
J. K. ClarksOn sugar trust man and
was he not here in the Interest of the
trust short time ago2 Is it not part
of the scheme that the sugar trust,
through the Utah company, shall lease
the sugar works at LehI and close them
down? Is not the sugar trust to keep
the republicans of Utah IN campaign
funds, and in the event that the repub
iican party controls our first legislature,
are not Frank j. Cannon and Col.
Isaac Irumbo to be elected United
States senators as the friends and
agents of tEa sugar trust?
If these things are true, then the re-
pub icaas, democrats and pOpulists of
Utah should know it. They should
know whether the republican candi-
date is engaged in conspiracy with
the sugar trust, which in three years
under the Mckinley law cleared $751;
000,0 is preparing to place It's hand
upon the throats of our people and
choke them into subsection. Let us de-
clare TO the world Uhat Utah and her
people are not for sale. Let US not walk
into the web that Mr.. Cannon is weav-
ing.
