THAT TIRED rEELISG.

III thare 10 anything calculated to
produce s'that tired feeling" II 10 the
editorials Of the Salt Lake Tribune
on the silver question. The new
Congress-elect is overwhelmingly
Republican and 95 per cent. anti
silver. Protection, as taught by
Mckinley. Harrison and Reed, can
only be carried to the desired con-
clusion BY the aid Of the single
gold standard. Hence monometal-
ism and protection are the stills on
which all Republican planks must
rest. The Republican party leaders
desire to accomplish two things in
this coutry: First to establish pa
ternal form of government, in which
the people base their hopes on an
act Of Congress instead Of their own
efforts. Second, that the manufac-
turing industries shall be carried on
only by wealthy syndicates con-
tracted to limited areas, thus driv-
ing men of moderate means entirely
from the field. 1t may be asked,
sswhat lie the financial purpose?'
The Republican party denies that
this republic of 100000 people
can be continued on the plan OF
Jefferson: Madison and Monroe, and
as interpreted by Jackson, Webster.
Clay and Lincoln. The tendency
of modern times in this country
is an aristocracy of wealth TO con-
troll all business outside of agricul-
tural pursuits; to give this aris-
tocracy Of wealth certain advant-
ages; to surround its pursuits with
protective acts that will ward off all
competition and encroachment Of
the middle GLASSES; to instruct la
Dor that the first line of the Lords
prayer is out Of date, and that 1t
must look to the government favor
ties, similar TO the old East India
company, for the means of subsist-
ence. This tendency was created
and nurtured by the Republican
party, and 1t has become the pre-
dominating factor in politics. A
high protective tariff with lite cor
rollary trusts) and the single stand
ard of gold system have been the
means employed by the Republican
party to further the design. The
result that party aimed at is at
hand and the United States is but
repeating history. A wealthy re-
public 10 impossible; the tendency
is toward aristocracy. The party
of aristocracy is to-day in the sad
die. and the future is as clouded as
II was in 1778. A few nharisaical
Republicans in the west talk OF pro-
lection and bimetallism becoming
the watchwords of the Republican
party. As well look for the Pope
TO issue Ingersol's "Oration on The
Gods" as an epistle TO the church.
The last election settled the bimet'
alic ratio of 16 to in the negative
as effectually as Waterloo settled
the fate of Napoleon. The hypo
critical editorials of the Tribune and
papers of its ilk are bats for gudg.
eons--the devil fishing for christ
ians with psalms for enticers. Man,
wealthy owners Of silver mines d,
not wano bimelulism. They grayi
tate to the Republican party as nat
urally as the so-called bluebloods o
England do TO the Tory party. The,
expect the Republicans will Civ
them a bounty on silver after |
while.
The future of this republic de
ponds upon the answer to this ques.
ton: Can you educate the masse

few who procure their wealth b.
means that bears the same relation
70 grand larceny that a mob doe

ing beyond the law9' If the Re
publican party is retained in power
