The Evening dispatch. [volume] (Provo, City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1895-10-14
Is NOW FLOUNDERING.

Our friend across the block seems to
have surrendered the controversy re-
garding the beauties OF hounties and
continues to jumble up figures and
ideas in manner that is wholly unin
telligible. 1t has been wandering
somewhat, it is now houndering. 1t
continues to contend that the sheep
industry was ruined by the democrats,
and fails, utterly, to make its bare as
sertions cOhere with the facts IN the
case, When we prove by irressistable
logic that the injury to the wool in
dustry is directly traceable to the crash
Oh 1898 in Australia, and which spread
TO the United States, our friend
squirms like skinned eel and its only
reply is, that we erred in stating that
the failure of Barring Bros, the great
English bankers, took place In 1898. 1t
falls, utterly, to meet our contention
that il matters not what firm failed
and precipated the panic, as that does
not affect the results in their relation
to the paralysis OF the wool industry
IN Australia and the United States.
1t merely refers to the Worlds almanac
for some account Of the failure of Bar
ing Brothers, and because our friend
can't dnd what it seeks as the immedi-
ate cause of the panic, again childishly
denies the results. On the same line
OF reasoning it could clai IN there was
no panic because it couldn't discover
the name of the first bank or company
thst failed.
When we charge, and prove beyond
the possibility of refutation. that the
protected wool industry in Utah nesrly
ruined the unprotected cattle industry
and pointed out that it was an un-
deniable act of gross class legis-
lation, our friend is as silent as the
grave. There is not even denial OF
the fact. Its only argument is itera
ton and reiteration OF it's state figures.
and it iumbles them in such manner
as to be source of confusion rather
than OF light. There is one advantage
our republican friend derives from
such course, and that is that it
furnishes no chance for reply, be-
cause there is nothing to attack.
In short paragraph, after failing
to find any mention of Barring Bros, in
1898 in the Worlds Almanac, it pro-
ceeds as follows:
Our neighbor will have to get some
other reason for the decline of the
sheep industry. If it will take our |
word, We can tell it the truth of the
decline. 1t was free trade that caused
it. 10
No, we can't take our neighbours
word for 1t" and our friend, whom
We really esteem as being truthful
when not trying to defend it's party's
leIesies, must excuse US for douDtine
is ability to tell the truth on the cause
t the decline Of the sheep industry.
ecause our friend Immediately saws
it was free trade that caused it," and
7hich is an unmixed falsehood, and
re demand something that comes
carer being logic than a bald asser-
ion. There are only two classes of
eople in the United States that are
laking such pitiable howl for high
rejection as does our neighbor. The
rst class is composed of protected :
astern manufacturers and their hire
ngs 10 congress. The other class is
Of those densely Ignorant of
le principles of eauss and eonse- :
lence-of political economy. Lin t
lin, Grant, Garfield and Arthur and +
ores of other brainy and humanpat-
OTIS and republicans, denounced the
'ry things for which the Enquirer is
intending, and which proves that it
IS yet to learn the C of political
ience.
