IN THE DEMOCRATIC RANKS.

There is harmony, a hope and a
the Democratic party that are send
ing dismay to the hearts of the Repub-
licans. The Democrats are working
hard and their work is telling. They
have not allowed their opponents to
draw them off from the real issues
that divide the two parties The at
tempt has been made a number of
times but it has not succeeded An
assault has been made here and as
sault has been made there. all with
the purpose of drawing the Democrat
lie press and speakers into the discus
sion of matters and things that are
not directly germane to the main is
sues.
Only yesterday morning a contempo-
rary tried to make it appear that there
is an undercurrent of feeling among
some Democrats against their nominee
for Delegate to Congress. That feel
ing exists among those who used to be
termed Blaine Democrats and who
long since Joined the ranks of the Re-
publicans. They have no doubt
spread this same feeling among their
political confreres. Not only are the
Democrats satisfied with their candi-
date, but the people az large are.
The Republicans cannot break the
harmony and solidity of the Demo-
crafts, try as they may. The effort has
been made from the first but it has
not succeeded. That which unites the
Democratic party and makes it so en-
thusiastic is the fact that it is working
for the triumph of great principles. 1t
is most important that these princi-
pies should win at the coming cleo
ton, as the delegates to a convention
TO frame constitution for the new
state are then to be chosen If men
whose motives are impelled by parti-
sanship rather than patriotism shall
have the framing of it. then that in
strument will be partisan. To make
it partisan is the aim of the Repub-
licans. From the very first they have
been most anxious for a partisan con-
vention. And if they should control
it the people may. be sure that they
will make it SO that their party will
reap all the benefits possible to be de-
rived from such work. Their capacity
for gerrymandering the new state has
been proven by the way in which Re-
publican commission gerrymandered
the territory a few years ago, and
which unholy work was so highly COM
mended by the Republican governor,
and who is now candidate for dele
gate to the constitutional convention
Let no such men be trusted.

THE RICH AND THE POOR.

When the Democratic party re-
pealed the Mckinley law it took a
great burden off the poor. The pro-
fessed friend of the people, it
proved that its professions were sin
cere by doing this. That great bur-
den had been laid upon them by the
Republican party, whose chief solicit
tude in framing that law had been the
welfare Of the rich, the capitalists, the
monopolies and the trusts. All that
they asked was granted, and had more
been asked more would have been
granted for the Republican Congress
stoody ready TO comply with their
every demand. The Republican par
ty. true to its instincts and it's tradi-
tions, proved itself by enacting the Nc
Kinley law the friend of the rich
rather than of the poor. That law has
been a bane to. the land and a curse
to the people. 1t was conceived in
sin and brought forth in iniquity But
it is gone forever, and no one desires its
return save it's infatuated author and
the Republican candidate for Delegate
to Congress.
And who was it that relieved the
people of this Ubiquitous law? 1t was
the Democratic party that Jealous
guardian of the rights and liberties of
the people They repealed it because
it was wrong in principle and PERM
cious in its application. 1t was be-
cause it was wrong in principle that it
bore SO heavily upon the poor. The
people felt that it was most unjust in

PERIODS OF DEPRESSION.

Tom Reed, the eminent jester from
Maine, in his speech at Chicago said:
We shall learn from the hard school
of experience, what this generation had
forgotten, that all periods OF prosperity
have been periods of protection. and
all periods of depression have been pc
RODS of free trade.
Experience teaches nothing of the
kind. So far as Mr.. Reed us concerned
it teaches that his statements are not
to be relied upon. In the first place
this country has never had any genu-
inc free trade although it enjoyed
great prosperity under the Walker tar
iff of 1876, which is sometimes called a
free trade tariff. On this point the di-
rect testimony Of Mr.. Blaine will more
than offset the reckless statement of
Mr.. Reed.
In the year 1873 there was a panic
and one of gigantic proportions. That
certainly was not free trade period.
It was period of protection when the
Republican party was in control of af-
fairs. AS to the panic of that year we
quote from President Grants message
of December l, 1873:
The year that has passed since the
submission of my last message to Con-
gress has, specially during the latter
part of it, been an eVentful one to the
country. In the midst of great national
prosperity a financial crisis has occur
red that has brought low fortunes of
gigantic proportions. The revenues
have materially fallen off for the first
five months of the present fiscal year
from what they We're expected to pro-
duce, owing to the general panic now
prevailing, which commenced about
the middle of September last.
In his message the following year he
said:
Since the convenipg of Congress one
year ago, the nation has undergone q
proStration i'm business and industries
such as has not been witnessed with
us for many years.
This official testimony of a Republic
an president must be allowed to stand
so far as the panic of 1873 is concerned.
That there was panic in that year
cannot be disputed. Neither can it be
denied that it occurred during a period
of protection.
The country lis just recovering from
a panic and a very severe one. It be-
gan in the latter part of the Republi-
can administration of President Harris
on and continued into the Democratic
administration of President Cleveland.
Was this during a period of protection
or not? 1t was during the period of

its operation, so they repudiated it in
the very same fall in which it was en-
acted and after two years experience
of its working they repudiated it again,
and placed the Democratic party in
power that the law might be repealed.
In accordance with this trust it was
repealed and law enacted in its
place that distributed the burdens of
taxation more evenly and equitably
upon whom the tariff taxation had
rested but lightly, if at all, were made
to aid in contributing to the taxes for
the support of the general government
This was done by the income tax law
than which nothing could be more
just.
The voters should bear these things
in mind when considering to which
party they will give their support 1t
should not be forgotten that parties
will be much the same in the future as
they have been in the past. The high
enemy of the poor man. They are the
children of the Republican party, and
they are still beloved of that parent
Their advent is always accompanied
by evil, and whatsoever invites them
back invites back their accompanying
evils.
The tried friend of the people, that
people who constitute that poor whom
We always have with US, is the Demo-
cratic party Where they are it will
ever be found alleviating their sorrows,
seeking their good.

TRADE WITH ENGLAND

Great Britain is the best customer
the United States have, yet it is this
country that the mounting protectionist'
is ever berating and holding up to ex-
ecrat ton. The protectionists say that
our policy should be the very opposite
of England's, thus making that coun-
try the initiator in all things. This is
nothing more nor less than craven
policy, a policy of fear and cowardice.
Putting this theory into practice, it
lies within England's power to make
this country adopt protection or free
trade as her whims or her interest
may dictate. Calmly considered by it
self, could there be a more abject or
slavfsh policy? In reality, it would be
surrendering the control of our COM
mercial policy to the will of another.
But why should this country be
hostile to England? Do we envy her
the success of her commercial policy
a policy that has made her the mistress
of the seas and the mart of the world?
If so, were it not much better for US
to adopt her policy rather than to be
so small in soul as to envy her her
success?
Secretary Morton has just returned
from England and he says the fact is
that 10 per cent of our American pro-
ducts exported find market in Great
Britain If such is the case, that mar
ket ought to be watched with jealous
care lest we lose it. Markets lost are
not so easily regained.
Let us see what the value of this
free trade market is to this country
when compared with some of the pro-
tected markets into which American
products go For the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1898, the value of American
exports to Great Britain was S414 500, 094.
To Germany they were $S1,992, 572; to
France, SAG, 0O6, 44S; to Belgium, S25, S59,-
72S; to the Netherlands, 3S,11S,527 to
Italy, s12, 1872, O59; to Spain, $13,427171;
to Switzerland. 1881; to Norway and
Sweden, $4,0S3, 156: to Austria Hungary,
$542, 073; Russia on the Baltic and White
Seas. So, 005, 5O4; to all other Europe, S12,-
1928
The sum total of American products
exported TO the leading markets of the
world, all more or less protected mar
kets, was $237 OLA 9O9, in the year Of
grace 1898 This is just SITS ,1S5 less
than the amount exported to the free
trade market of England, that England
that the Republicans and protectionists
would make the people of this coun-
try believe is their arch enemy whose
hope by day and dream by night is
to destroy American commerce, to in
wade our market that she may reduce
to beggary our workmen. She is the
best foreign friend that the American
workman has, be he artisan or be he
farmer. And this the figures and the
cold facts in the case prove. Destroy
our trade with England and the best
market for our surplus products is
destroyed. English free trade is much
better for the United States than the
protection of the other countries of
Europe

DEMOCRATIC POLICIES.

| The Chicago Tribune has been talk
ing about the Mckinley bill. 1t says
| it was a mistake, and that it thought
so four years ago the same as now. 1t
must be pleasing to the Tribune to
know that on this most important mat
ter it was in accord with the sentiment
| of the American people as expressed at
the polls in 1890 and again in 1892
1t says further that IF Mckinley had
been able to read the future-had seen
what was going to happen in 1890 and
lSS2-he would have modified his bill, or
insisted on having it modified" 1t may
be said that this is certain.
From this the Tribune passes on to
speak of the legislation of the Repub-
lican party. Having made the admis-
sion that the Mckinley bill was mis-
take, it says:
That one legislative mistake of the
Republicans during their thirty Years
lease of power looks very small when
lcontrasted with all the blessings they
I'haVe bestowed upon the country. How
great those blessings were can be more
clearly seen now, after eighteen months
| OF suffering under Democratic policies.
Suffering from Democratic policies
There can be no suffering from a pol
icy until it has become law The pol
icies Of parties, when the parties have
the power, become laws, and only then
can their effect be known. During the
first eighteen months of Mr.. Cleve-
lands second administration he exc
cuted a tariff law that was the embodi-
1nent of the Republican policy on that
question. All know that during that
year and a half there was business de-
preston, accompanied by panic. So far
then as this depression and panic, were
the result of policy, they were the
result of the Republican policy, for
that was the policy that prevailed.
Now as to the Democratic policy. Tt
was to repeal the Mckinley bill and
enact a revenue law based upon a
much lower scale of duties. 1t became
operative in the form of law
two months ago, and since it was in
laugurated there has been no panic,
confidence has been restored and bust
ness prosperity has begun to return.
The evils the people have suffered as
the result of the continued operation of
the Mckinley law after the change
from a Republican to Democratic adj
ministration are evils that have result
ed from Republican policy. This is
clearly shown from the fact that the
same Democratic President who admin
istered the Republican tariff of 1883,
administered the Mckinley law up to
two months ago, and under his admin
istration Of the first law there was
prosperity while under his administra-
ton of the second one there was ad-
versity, thus proving that it is the law
that affects the business Of the country
and not its administration by one party
or the other.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-11-01

tfcKinleyism when the tariff was high
er than ever before in the history of
the country, so it must have be4- dur
ing protection period.
The trouble with Reeds conclusions
from experience is that they are not
correct as we have shown. He says
''all periods of depression have been
periods of free trade" The records
prove this assertion to be absolutely
false. The experience of the country
teaches that panics come during peri
DDS Of protection as we'll as at other
times, and that the Republican doc
trine of high tariffs is neither a pana-
cea for financial ills not a preventive
of panics
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-11-01

Johnny Zane made vicious and
indefensible attack on Mr.. Rawlins a
few days ago. In commenting on the
speech we said a number of unchar-
table things about Johnny, among
other things that as lawyer he is a
failure Johnny now retorts by saying
that one of The Herald editors having
failed at the bar has Joined the jour-
nalistic ranks. Admitting this to be
true there is still this distinction be-
tween Johnny and the editor, that the
latter knew he was failure and
shaped his vocation accordingly, while
the former is not only a failure but
100 obtuse to appreciate it. What
Johnny mighe do in Journalism re-
mains unsolved but that the editor
who paid The Heralds respects to him
is able to pen an article not entirely
devoid OF pungency was apparent, both
from the article itself and the f1utter-
ihgs OF the bird.
