The Democratic Address.

The address of the Democratic con-
vention of Utah, in extraordinary ses-
ton at Salt Lake city to consider the
union of the Mormon church and the
Republican party to carry the state cleo
ton next month, is one of the most elo-
ouent arguments, as it is the strongest,
we have seen defining the relations that
should exist between church and state,
and the limitations of sectarian inter-
ference with politics. In Utah the Nor
mon church has captured the Republic
can party, and at the recent meeting
of it's priesthood pronounced in favor of
the election of the Republican candi-
dates and called on the Mormons on
the Democratic ticket Doth parties hav-
ing nominated members of that church,
to withdraw from the canvass. This the
Democratic candidates refused to do.
The address indicates their action. But
as the Mormon church is overwhelming
in its strength in Utah it is likely the
Republicans will win two United States
senators by their compact with the
Saints. One of these senators is to be
George Q. Cannon, not long ago a
polygamous convict in the penitentiary,
and still said to secretly practice seal
ing wives at the endowment house
The bargain by which the Republican
party was sealed to the Mormon
church was made some weeks ago by
General CIarkson, of Iowa, and Saint
Cannon-Pittsburg Post.

DIFFERING OPINIONS.

Great minds sometimes differ. It is
also true that little minds and great
minds disagree. An Illustration of the
latter remark is found in the dogmatic
utterances of a local Republican editor
compared with the calm and expert
enced conclusions of a distinguished
Republican statesman, as to the tariff
of 1916 and its fleets on American in
dustry and the American people.
The former asserts that it made the
people of our country so poor that no
matter how cheap goods might be,
they had no money to buy them with.
The latter declared the tariff then
enacted to be the most perfect the
country ever had, and. the period when
it was in force ''the golden era in
American history James G. Blaine
who made these admissions was gem
orally regarded as quite as sound a
Republican. as wise a statesman and
as candid a writer, as the political
juggler, contortionist and straddler who
tries to deceive the public through the
columns Of an inconsistent contempo-
rarY.
The last effort of Republican Con-
gress to play into the hands Of the cor
porations, trusts and combines to
which it looks for support, was the
most monstrous perversion of the tax
ing power ever perpetrated in the his
tory of our nation. Future chronicles
of the nineteenth century occurrences.
will show it to have been so great a
prostitution of congressional authority
as to rank McKinleyfsm with the worst
specimens of legislation in the inter
est of the classes at the expense of the
masses, and of the robbery of the many
for the benefit of the few ever exposed
to the contempt Of mankind
If the Democratic party had accom-
plished nothing more in the two years
in which it had the control in Con-
gress, than the repeal of the Mckinley
tariff law and the enactment of the
tariff reform law, it would have fairly
earned the gratitude of this great ma
ton. If in addition to the repeal of the
Sherman miserable makeshift it had
succeeded in passing free silver cotrt-
age bill. it would have accomplished
enough to have placed it above popular
criticism.
AS it is, the Democratic record on
the tariff will be regarded by future
generations with pride and satisfaction.
And the words of Blaine will live and
be believed and admired while the
drivel of the scribe who writes the op-
posite will be buried with himself in
deserved oblivion.

pRoTEcrroNrsr DEMANDS.

The Manufacturers club of Philadel-
phia has put forth programme for
raising revenue for the general gov
eminent in the form of resolutions. Re
citing that intimat tons have been given
that Congress will be urged to increase
the income by charging the existing
internal taxes, and by imposing such
taxes upon objects now exempted from
taxation, the club resolved that we
protest against any more internal tax
atien-' The club also asserts that rev.
enue should be obtained by increasing
duties upon imports of materials which
can be procured from domestic sources.
A demand is made for the restoration
of the reciprocity system, while the
representatives of the people in Con-
gress are appealed to to "steadfastly
refuse to make any concessions to the
demand for legislation contrary to the
principles here enunciated.''
AN this comes as near being de-
mand for the restoration of Mckinley
ism as possible without naming it.
Whether it will be taken up by the Re-
publican party generally is question
able. The policy of the party has been
right along to abolish the internal sys-
tenn of taxation to build up that of
protection. 1t is a double bid for sup
port. To the class affected by internal
taxes 1t offers the inducement of relief
from taxation and naturally expects it's
support in return. To the other class
it offers the use of the governmental
taxing power that the profits of its
business may be enhanced, these being
Increased as the duty on the CORE
spending foreign article is raised the
people being the victims all the time
That a combination of the interests
that would be affected by the extern
sion of the internal system of taxation
and those that have had government
pap in the form of protection, would be
strong one, yielding an immense in
Huence in politics, there is no denying.
But strong and influential as it would
be, it would still meet with the hostility
of a majority of the American people,
majority that would refuse to be
downed.

They scented the battle not far st: This
distinguished prophet told his audience

Counselor Smith berated his people for

OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

The voters of Utah in a few DAYS
will be called upon to decide by their
ballots some very important questions.
Upon their action will depend the veal
or woe Of the new state, which will
enter the Union as the cynosure not
only of the several states of this great
republic but of all civilized nations.
1t is to be either a Democratic or a
Republican state and the difference
means much to it's people and also to
the respective political parties
If Utah enters the Union as a Re-
publican state. national politics will be
affected iE this way: There will be one
more Republican member of the lower
House Of Congress and two more in the
Senate. The balance between the par
ties is so close that this is a matter Of
moment to both. The Republican party
would have a decided though small
majority in the Senate as well as in
the House, if Utah should elect Re-
publican legislature. If a majority of
Democrats are elected to the state leg
islature, the Senators elected by that
body would bring the Democrats in the
United States Senate about even with
their opponents, the Populists holding
the balance Of power.
If Utah enters the Union three cleo
tors will be added to the body that will
elect the next President of the United
States If she becomes a Republican
state there will be so many more votes
for Republican President If a Demo-
cratic state the same result will accrue
to the Democratic candidate. The i'm
portance of this will be perceived by
every rejecting mind.
But everybody will not see the effect
of this upon Utah and some vital cues
tons. Two Republican Senators and a
Republican Representative will mean
three more votes in Congress in favor
Of silver. Or at least that is to be
supposed. It will certainly mean that
without a shadow of a doubt if Demo-
cratic Senators and Representative are
elected. But the Republican three
would be of no avail on the silver ques-
ton, because the overwhelming ma
jority of the party, in and out of Con-
gress. are opposed to immediate free
silver coinage The three votes would
but add to a hopeless minority.
If on the other hand Democrats are

A VOTING QUESTION.

Question-If the constitution yes or
no is on the ''ticket" of the different
parties, and voter votes against the
constitution without erasing the names
of the candidates, will his vote be
counted for the candidates on the
ticket, while at the same time he votes
against rhe constitution, or does he
vote against the candidates when he
votes against the constitution?
VOTER.
If a voter scratches out the word
Eyes on the ticket, thus voting against
the state constitution, but allows the
names of candidates for state officers
on the ticket to remain, his vote for
them will be counted the same as if
he voted Eyes" on the constitutional
question. If the constitution receives
a majority of the votes cast, his vote
for state officers will remain and be
of force If the constitution should be
rejected by majority of the voters
a very improbable event-the whole
state election will fail of course. A
vote against the constitution, there
fore, will not be vote against the
candidates unless their names also are
erased.
