could revolutionize the Industrial world
in a few days and bring on universal
disaster.
At the close of Colonel Barratt's
speech the glee club sang again, anC
then Chairman Barnes introduced r
w. Sloan.
Mr.. Sloan first took up some of the
nuggets of falsehood that william
Glassman threw at his audience here
week ago and pulverized them com
pletely, and incidentally he roasted
Glassman for his utter disregard fol
truth. Glassman had advanced the
statement that only seven trusts exist
in the United States. Mr.. Sloan pro-
been built up by protection. and flour.
ish because they are protected.
Farmers might form a trust, but
they are too honest. There are 5000.
900 farmers in the United States. and
100000 of these are raising a surplus
In order to make a trust successful
this surplus must be cut off. so that
prices may be controlled The surplus
fixes the price all the world over. in
any branch of industry. This being
true when protection is placed on
goods and the price goes up, the de-
mand for goods decreases, the pro-
duction is curtailed, men are thrown
out of employment, and as a natural
consequence wages go down. There is
surplus of men to do the work, and
in order to keep starvation from their
doors they will work cheaper. This
is how a protective tariff on manufac-
tured articles protects American work.
men. During the years of high tariff
wages in protected industries have
steadily decreased, while non-protected
workmen have received the same, and
in some cases higher wages But the
manufacturer does not lose by protec-
ton. Bless you, no. He gets labor
cheaper and consequently makes larger
profits. All over this country we have
the result of a protective tariff-the
great American tramp.
Democrats brought "hard times" did
they? Will some Republican in the
SGI up anu the law CndI
has made "hard times?"
AT this point Mr. Sloan paused for a
reply. The Republicans present
hung their heads, and re-
r1ained discreetly quiet. In fact the
silence was so dense you could almost
cut it.
Continuing, Mr.. Sloan said the
reason there was no reply was because
the Republicans can not answer the
question. They are afraid of Demo-
cratic legislation, they say For thirty
years they have been rearing a nice,
large house, and now when they want
to get into it they're scared away by
fear of the Democrats. They ought to
be proud of their edifice, now, hadn't
they?
The speaker then went on to prove
hat ''lard times" really did exist be-
,ore Cleveland was elected, and that
Republican papers in 1892 declared Har-
'is5n was defeated because of the pre-
railing depression in business. Now
-hese same papers say no hard times
existed until the Democrats came into
,ower.
Glassman said the foreigner pays
he tariff That's an old, exploded
heory. If that is SO, why did they
lake the duty off sugar? Were they
making a voluntary contribution to the
German sugar producers? Under the
nd law the duty on raw sugar went
n'to the treasury and helped pay our
axes. Mckinley took the tariff off,
md placed a. bounty of cents pound
N sugar. Naturally the bounty went
nto the manufacturers pockets. Will
on's bill removed the bounty and re-
'laced the duty. That is a tariff for
evenue only.
Mr. Sloan mazda a var.1y ctyor1or oror,,
nent in combination of Mr.. Glassman's
tatement that the women of Utah were
eprived of their suffrage by the Demo-
rats. He commenced by saying Glass |

bundance to show how far from the |
ruth the Ogden editor was. His proofs
we're conclusive. and each point was
earthly applauded.

Mr.. Sloan was given close attention.
nd his points were enthusiastically ap-
lauded
John G. NJ. Barnes presented the
ounty ticket, and the names as they
ere read were warmly received. The
1allenge from the Democrats to the
lincoln club of Kaysville was read,
nd 1T was announced that no reply had
ushed.
The glee club sang and the meeting
1journed, after thanking the speakers
