tired for orders, amid Kisses and
/ groans while dozens Of men rushed
up and shook the fellow by the hand,
thinking the rights of liberty had
again been triumphantly asserted.
= short time afterwards Captain
Jack Donovan, with his blood up,
came over and would have given the
offender worse shaking than he
gave the circus clown, only those in
terested did not wish to interrupt the
speakers.
RawIins' Introduction.
When Mr.. Rawlins and the distin-
guished guests came on the stage,
shortly after s O'Clock, they were re-
ceived with burst of applause. When
Mr.. Rawlins arose he received an ova-
ton. He said the people might well
feel honored by the presence OF their
able guests. They should be greeted
as advocates of the great principle In
which the west is interested. There
are many men and many issues. We
have fought over many questions IN
the past. We have fought over pro-
lection and incidental protection
and free trade, over license
and prohibition, over church and state,
over Capitalization and other ques-
lions. but these must now be put IN
the background. The American people
must fight over one great question at
time. An issue has been framed
which must and will be settled at the
coming election.
Cannot Be Compromised.
It must not be obscured or compli-
Gated. 1t cannot be compromised. Gold
as a single standard, and honest BIZ
1netallism are the issues. The people
must decide one way or the other.
There is no middle course. rms ldea
should be our light in the coming cam
paisn. The two visitors are types OF
true American manhood, not degener-
ate types. They have carved their
own fortunes. Their visit is disinter-
ested and patriotic. They do not speak
for their special interests, nor do we
appeal for local interests. Our course
and their course is linked with the
common welfare Of all the people of
the United States. They come from no
clique and could not be swerved by all
the gold of Wall street. The first
speaker was a member of the last
Congress, who had not bowed to the
press Of the east or the power that
dispensed patronage. We found Sibley
Chearty applause always true ana
honest and not afraid Of offending
anyone.
Mr.. Rawlins then introduced Mr..
Sibley, who was received with a ire
mendous ovation
SibIey's Speech.
Mr.. Sibley said that those who were
acquainted with Mr.. Rawlins knew
that anything said in his presence
could be better said by him. He was
one of the few men who could
command the attention of the Fifty
third Congress. Salt Lake had orig
inally been left off the routes because
Mr. Rawlins could talk silver better
than they. The trip had been made
m see if the people of the west wanted
TO make silver the one issue Of 1896.
We come from Macedonia and ask
YOU to help US. We have had an OBJ |
1ect lesson in monometanism for the
last two years. Those who have pros
pered in the last two years should /
vote for its continuation. They have |
enjoyed that prosperity spoken OF by |
Mr.. Carlisle.
But those who have suffered in the |
last two years, in basket and store,
the friends of bankrupts and suicides
should take the other side. The line
should be we'll drawn.
Gold Standards Before.
This is not the first time the gold |
standard has been set up in the world.
one had been set up by Aaron. He |
was a progenitor of the one who bad |
set I'D the gold standard in this coUn-
try. Nebachudnezzar set up golden |
statue and ordered the office holders |
to fall down before it. That was like
the presidents letter to Governor |
stone. of Mississippi. But there were |
three who would not bow down. In |
this country are 100000 people who |
viii not bow down. The furnace may
be heated seven times as hot IS it is !
now but the people will stand out |
against the king. Nebuchednezzar at |
last came down to his peoples level
So will others.
Something Wrong.
There is something wrong with our
body polite and wise men have seen
it for years. It IS not wise to adopt
the gold standard because England |
had prospered under it. The result
had been predicted thirty-two years
ago. John G.. Carlisle predicted the
result in 1878. Then he was the plebian
leader; he stood for the people. he
had not been made a high priest IN
the temple of Moloch. Then he called
demonstration a conspiracy and
crime, and now he says it was the
logic Of events. That was crime.
There is only one that parallels it.
That is the crime OF betrayal. Carlisle,
in 1878, had spoken like one inspired.
His diagnosis was correct. The policy
Of gold has caused more tears and
misery than the war of the rebellion.
Grover Cleveland and John G. Carlisle
have cost the country more than
Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee. It
is admitted by authority that the prop
erty of the United States has declined
20 per cent in the last two years. That
is $4,000, 100000. The war cost $780,
00O,0 coo.
Salt Lake is beautiful. But the
bankers have their grip on some of the
cities which promised prosperity. But
property has SO declined that the
debts and even banks have been car
ried down with 1T. How long can the
people stand the strain? They have
TO pay the interest and the decline. too
Today 1t would take 1000, 900 900 more
bushels of wheat to pay off the ma
tional debt than it would at the close
