simply marvellous. The people of the

effects were as good as could have
been on any stage, and the raft and

A room SILVER ARGUMENT.

/! A prominent Utah delegate to the
| Trans Mississippi Congress is reported
to have said in an interview which has
been published, that free and unlimited
coinage of silver at is to must be had
because: Silver is now SO cheap thai
miners cannot run their mines at a
profit. The value OF silver must be in
creased before these mines can be OPP
operated without loss. and the best way
to increase the value Of the white metal
is by its free and unlimited coinage"
II may be that the gentleman is I'M
fairly reported, and that this is only
part of the argument he offered in
favor Of free coinage. We will give
| him the benefit of the doubt and re-
frain from any criticism as far as he
is personally concerned. But that sort
of an appeal for the restoration of sill
yer has often been made and does In
fnitely more harm than good.
From local standpoint 1t y"be
all right to want free coinage because
it would reopen our closed silver
mines. make others pay which are now
working at a loss. give employment to
thousands and stimulate business gen.
orally. But what has that to do with
the great financial question involved in
the matter? From a Republican stand
point OF course it is all right, because
1t appeals to the selfishness of one sec
ton regardless of its bearings on 9TH
ers. But this matter is of national
moment. The study of statesmen
should be, what will be for the good of
the country. not merely for the benefit
of one industry or one class.
We advocate the free coinage of sill
Yer not simply because it would be for
the welfare of Utah. but because we
believe 1t would be of immense benefit
to the people of the United States, and
for the financial injury OF none, unless
it might be a few spectators whose
interests are conferred in gold and its
taken into account as weighed against
the common welfare. The fear for the
silver miners of the West is in line
with the protection idea, and 1t is un-
sound for that very reason. Why
should the people of the East favor
free silver coinage just to promote the
silver or any other industry in the
West? Giving silver mine owners a
big price for their product is not one
Of the objects CT popular government.
If there was nothing more In the sill
Yer question than that. as many peo-
pie in the East believe, they would be
justified in their opposition. And such
arguments" as we have quoted help
to confirm them in that belief
Education on the silver question must
be conducted on a broader basis. 1t
must proceed on the ground OF the ma
tional welfare. the good OF the whole
body polite. 1t must be explained on
the principles Of sound finance. in
stead of on the small and narrow
claim of the interest of q section Sill
yer advocates should never forget this,
especially when in the East; that is, on
the other side of the Missouri river.

POLITICAL EDUCATION.

| The work which lies before the DEM
ocra.tic party in Utah. If it intends to
struggle for the supremacy which Il
can ootain at the election OF next No
Vcnoar. is in the fullest sense eiuca-
tlonal. Campaign speeches, although
they may convey much practical infor-
matio1. yet because they are so
strongly partisan and inabued with the
spirit Of pugnacity. fail short of that
educaions! aim which is the point now
Hald in sight. T'hey are viewed. TOO,
with a color Of suspicion. They are ad-
yanced By way of opposition to the
enemy, ard are looked at as tht. tactics
Of political warfare.
However true may be the arguments
advanced IN partisan contention. they
do not have their full weight on the
popular mind for the reason we have
named. Therefore, during the winter
which is c.ose,y approaching, there
ought TO be arrangements for political
lectures and addresses which Wal en-
tighten the people upon the funda-
mental principles of Democratic gov
eminent, without being so Intensely
partisan as campaign speech, and
without reference to any political
struggle.
The necessity of this is recognized
on the question of woman suffrage by
some Of its most prominent eastern
advocates. This may be taken as a
hint Ito the ladies of Utah who desire
the restoration Of those rights, under
the state. of which they were deprived
through congressional legislation as to
the territory. Women as we'll as men
need educating in the principles of
government, so that the rights of
women as well as the rights of men
may De clearly comprehended and then
contended for by all legitimate means.
In the Forum for December. Dr..
Mary Putnam jacob has an earnest
paper on the results of the political ed
ucation of women. from which we
make the following extract and com
mend it to the consideration of both
sexes in Utah:
The work of the women who intend
to continue the systematic agitation for
the suffrage in the state of New York
will be now mainly directed to efforts
for the systematic political education
Of women. Suffrage leagues, as ihither-
to organized, have been apt to address
themselves too little to education, too
much to campaign speeches" It is
indeed difficult to persuade average
citizens, either male or female, to study
anything for which they have no i'm
mediate use. When the utility becomes
the energy and interest are
promptly forthcoming. The women of
Colorado organized, all over the state,
clubs for the study both of politics and
of political science. The effective as
sistance, which, at the last election, the
women of Colorado lent to the work of
defeating the blatherslxite candidate for
Governor, shows an excellent practical

profitable openings for It, bringing la
Dor for orr artisans and stimulating
business of all kinds.
II Populisn can find no live,ier
theme than everlasting winnings, and
has nothing further to. offer than an
eternal growl, the sooner it is silenced
the better for everybody. Nothing Is
gained by grumbiing; everything is pos
sible to the cheerful, determined and
persevering. Silver is a great indus
try and by its restoration as a money
metal to its old standing Utah would
be vastly benefited. But this COM
munity is not wholly dependent upon
that one industry. There are others
that should be fostered. some that
might be started, and instead of SWIVEL
ling over silver there should be effort
to induce the investment of capital. in
such enterprises as will be reasonably
profitable to the investors and provide
labor for the hands ready to work.
