worth q trip across the continent. In
our cause New Mexico can clasp hands
with Montana. 1t was well to meet in
the key point. The other states are glad
Utah is about to come into the Union,
because it will give her more power
to defend the interests of the west
Salt Lake city is to wear the scroll Of
the western states as the years pass.
There is no more inspiring thought
than that of the Waterman in the
feudal castle, who is asked What of
the night" From time immemorial
watchmen have been important per-
sonages. Dishonest men could change
IN war and the policeman in
peace. Now we live in security. But
greater changes can now be made by
legislation than formerly by dishonest
watchmen. What distress might have
been saved had we only mad an honest
Waterman on the ramparts in 1913.
Now we must see that Vigilant watch
men are oD the outer ramparts, and
hope that soon, when we ask, 'Watchi
man, what of the night?' the answer
will come back - silver tones, What

Gov. Adams on the Honest Dollar"
Governor Alva Adams. of Colorado,
was next introduced to speak on the
Honest Dollar" He was received
with a burst Of applause. He said the
fabric of the American republic needs
but one thing-that is an honest dollar.
We have not anything of that kind on
the statute books today. That dollar
which buys twice what it should Is as
dishonest as though it were counter
felt. Why should we go across the
water for our policy of finance. We
defied their armies and navy in the
Revolution. Let US defy their financial
policy now. Let us disregard the voice
of the Tories as our fathers did. Our
enemies are arrogant. They could
hardly speak of criminals worse than
they do US. All that is because we
want an honest dollar. But arrogance
will sometime find its Waterloo. Our
bankers seem TO be Trilbys and are
hypnotfZed. Whence comes their in
spiration? They once held a mask of
bimetallism. Now they are out for
gold alone. But soon other leaders will
come and the people will remove ada
verse influences at Washington. We
plead for the debtor. They will win
with an honest dollar. If next year
both parties are against us then there
is another course. We Of those parties
hope the salvation Of silver will come
through them. But il they both prove
recreant, we must act as patriots
Unless they declare for an honest dol
lar they will see a coniuering alliance
of the west and south We must fight
for the silver banner as we would
fight for liberty. Let it be the banner
of the people until the honest dollar is
recognized. Not till then will the reign
of the people come again.
Hon. Wharton Barker.
Hon. Wharton Barker was next in

Power" He said Rome demcnetized

tinued that Pennsylvania has never
faltered when America has called. 1t
will not falter now. The state is as
sure to vote for bimetallism in hS96 as
are Montana. Colorado or Utah We
want leaders but will not wait for
them. We propose to move on New
York. But the west must occupy the
sylvania is that the west will stand by
us and we will do the fighting. You
think we have no bimetallists. You do
not appreciate the rising of our COM
mon people. They are as wide awake
TO the question as you are here. If
you will occupy the place we are now
standing upon we will capture New
York for you.
1.-The New State.
Governor West was called upon to

was proud to say the next star in our
flag will be the star of Utah. None
of the states have brought the history
and achievements that the, new state
can boast. He had presented to the
visitors one of the pioneers who came
here in 1847 president Woodruff and
he remembered the struggles of the fol-

into the Union The delegates had

type of the whole territory.
Other cities are its miniatures. Utah
has had an unexampled tutelage. For

bored and they have obtained fruit.
The people have had to conquer them
selves and he thanked God they had
been successful. They have made a
state that goes into the Union, not
upon its knees, but boldly as of right.
Our fundamental law has been drafted.
1t will be approved. The state is still
in the forefront. She will give you an
eloquent representation in Congress
and two senators who will go TO the
aid o. the people in the battle for the
honest dollar.
Judge Goodwin explained that Gov

to have responded to the toast Where
rolls the Oregon" had left the city in
the afternoon.
General CIunie's Remarks.
General Thomas ] Clunie answered
the toast "a New Declaration of indie
pendence." He wanted to thank Salt
Lake foS its hospitality. He would al
ways have a warm spot for the state.
He had heard the patriotic speech of
General Penrose at the Fort. He had
met Governor West several years ago.
Then he had stood up against attack
