At SALIVA.
A Characteristic Republican Speech
By John NJ. Zune,

delivered a characteristic speech.
Mr.. Zane said when the Democrats
came into power in March, 1898, the
country was prosperous and all the
mills and manufactures were running,
and there was a ready market for
everything. Now all the mills are
closed and no employment and no sale
at fair prices for anything we have can
be had. That soup houses had not
been seen in the United States since
1857 until now, and they now existed
in the country as well as in the cities,
and said this was all caused by the
peculiar methods of the Democratic
party-"Their threat against the pros
Iperity of the country" That large ar
mics OF unemployed had been made
by the Democratic party
He said the first tariff law was en-
acted in 1885, and in 1916 the tariff was
raised. and in 1888 was reduced, so that
in 1887 the people could not live, and
the worst panic we have ever seen eX.
listed then. That law, he said, existed
until Sc and that during that time
pork was worth from 1 to Y cents per
pound. In 81 there was another great
panic, and in SO there were no manu-
factories running. We had to borrow
money at fearful rates of interest to
run the government from 81 to '93.
We had increased from 25,0G0,00O to
65,000,000 people and for the whole of
thirty years we had had continual
prosperity, and turned the government
over to the Democrats in that condi-
ton; that now we could not get half
that we could two years ago for what
we had to sell. Democratic threat
causes it all. Democrats said, just
wait until we get in power and times
will be better and prices advanced.

have ruined the country and ruined
everything. But the people of Utah
should vote the Democratic ticket. He
said that the Republicans had always
been kind to the Mormon people, and
the Democrats hostile, from the trOu-
bic in Missouri until the present time;
that in sc and 'S7 Governor West had
no Calling gun, but was a guerilla in
the Ohio penitentiary, and was not
pardoning every murderer; blamed the
Democratic party for helping to pass
the Edmunds-Tucker law. But the
most Objectionable feature of the bill
the appointing of different officers in
the territory by the governor, as in
PRODUCED by Tucker DemocraD, was
passed by a Democratic House, went
to the Senate, and was killed by the
Republicans of this territory sending
dispatch which killed that part OF
the bill. That in the southern states,
at least. five states appoint their Of
ficers, and there was where the Demo
Gratis learned this peculiar mode OF
appointing officers. Said Judge Judd
said he wrote the enabling clause in
the statehood bill, allowing every poly
gamist to vote. We want this to die
but they will not let it die, and we will
open it. When the manifesto was is
sued Governor Thomas and all the
Republican judges, except one Demo
crat and c. C. Goodwin, sent a petit
ton to the President, saying Utah
should be admitted as a state and poly
gamsts should be granted amnesty.
He said that once a COW with a calf
had wandered off, and the calf went
off with a roam steer that could give
no milk. The COW was the Republican
party, the steer the Democratic party,
and the calf, the people. Later on he
referred to Judge Judd as another roam
steer
The Democrats did not want to give
Utah statehood but tried to give it
local self-government; and to keep us
out of the Union is what the Demo
Gratis tried to force on you, which we
all said was an insult. He. especially
blamed Game, Rawlins, Henderson and
Judd for the same. Mr.. Zane said he
went to Washington and took part in
the statehood bill; that Mr.. Teller Re-
publican) and others killed the self
them to pass the statehood bill, and
everything else. What Rawlins and
the Democratic party have done for
Utah we have forced them to do; that
the Democrats were to blame for the
late war. The Democrats in regard to
the statehood bill were like the prodi-
gal son who, when he returned. went
out to see the fatted calf, and said:
THAT is my calf" Republicans al
ways have more sense than Democrats
and lad forced them to pass the state
hood bill. Faulkner pigeon-holed the
bill and kept it there, when it would
only have taken two minutes to re-
port and pass it The present Senate
has done nothing but obey Grover
Cleveland. We Republicans have fore
ed every step of the statehood bill.
Continuing, he said
81 have shown what the Democra tic
party has done, and will show what the
Republican party would have done
Republicans, in our last legislature
wanted and tried to benefit the whole
people. The Republican party tried to
follow the teachings of st. Paul. and
the Democrats were infidels
The Republicans passed a law Civ
ing a bounty for the raising of canal
gre root, and Governor West got out
his Calling gun and vetoed it. When
our Lehi sugar factory was started SUI
pound, saving S1500OO; bounty cost
$4,000. We passed another bill to
divide bounty with growers of beets
West again brought out his Calling
gun, etc. The Democratic party had
ruined our wooden industry. We sent
a memorial to Washington against the
tariff bill, but RawlinS and West again
used the Calling gun veto and it could
not be shown. Democrats ruined the
lead industry, and we sent another
memorial against that, which was also
vetoed. They have hurt the country
every way they could. Judge Judd had
been the most bitter of anyone against
which he had heard Samuel Thurman
of Provo. say in regard to a certain
speech of Judd's in Salt Lake city.
The Republican party's history is
written in the prosperity of the coun-
try. The Democratic at any time
when in power, have ruined the coun-
try, and if there be now any Demo
of the country. They had ceased &c
care for the laboring man. With Ca
ling guns used against them, the Ia
boring men have commenced to emf
CRATE to Europe. The laboring man
has now ceased to be an intelligent
reading man, and is mere animal
He has to work all the time and his
children can not go to school.
In regard to Judd speaking OF
trusts and tramps. trust Democrats
had made them all. Not a single
trust has grown UP under protection
The Standard Oil company and tine
Armour Dressed Beef company, also
the Copper trust were the greatest
trusts and were not protected, and
the only protected trust known is in
the present Democratic tariff bill, the
great Sugar trust. Bribery was the
