SILVER AND GOLD.

4 One of the specious arguments, if
such it may be called, used by the
4 goldites against the free coinage Of
silver, is, that silver costs SO little to
1 produce that it would be swindle to
place silver in the position of being
worth double as coin to what it will
bring as bullion.
Of course there is nothing in that.
1t has been proved repeatedly that
the decentralization of silver caused
the decline in it's price as metal and
that similar result to gold would
follow the decentralization of gold.
Also that if silver were restored to it's
former status. the bullion price would
soon advance until it reached the coin
value. These are simple but very evil
dent propositions.
But our purpose was not to repeat
those arguments again. We want to
call attention TO the item of news
which has been published, that last
month $150,0O0 worth of gold was taken
from a. mine at Cripple Creek, Col
orado, at a cost Of only 5000. Just
think of it! Each $40 worth of that
gold cost but eight cents to produce it.
That is of easy calculation.
Now, will you hear any of the de-
Chalmers against silver as money, cry
ing out about gold costing so little in
it's production? Not likely But it's
a poor rule that only works one way
If it applies to silver it applies equally
to gold. The truth is, it should not
be used in either case. The cost of
mining the metals has nothing to do
with their fitness for money They are
each suitable in their place. and are
each necessary to the volume of cur
rency required for the business of the
world.
1t is the stamp of the government
that gives them standing as coin,
and they are each chosen for that
purpose because they are precious
metals, there being no danger of over
production of either, and they each
possess, in an eminent degree all the
qualities that fit them as means of
exchange and a measure of values.
Silver men want the free coinage of
gold They are bimetallists. Gold
men, if they are really bimetallists, as
many of them claim to be, should want
the free coinage of silver. Both metals
are needed for money. There has

ATTEND THE CONVENTION.

The State Commute has reconvened
the state convention to meet in this
city ON Tuesday next. This grave step
was rendered imperative by recent
events. An organized and confident
army became demoralized by the incl
dents of a single day. The Committee
was confronted with the necessity of
taking such steps as would most speed
lily and certainly restore discipline and
confidence to the ranks of Democracy
In such a crisis. it was thought that
an address of the Committee, mass
meetings of the people or any measure
less effective than the recalling of the
convention would not effect the de-
sired result. 1t was moreover deemed
prudent to act under such momentous
conditions only after consultation
with delegates from every hamlet of
the territory. BY such means only
could the real facts and the real senti-
ments of the people be learned and
represented
Under such circumstances the Dem
ocraltic delegates must not, Will not,
permit expense or personal matters to
prevent their aiasendance The su-
preme duty of the hour is for now
unterrif1ed Democracy to make such
a show of their united and unswerv-
ing fidelity to the plank of their plat
form and to the declaration of the
constitution that the church shall
neither dominate the state nor inter
fere with its functions that a wayfar-
ing man though a fool may understand
that hereafter Church influence" Shall
cease to be a factor in Utah politics.
The Democratic party has no fight
against the Mormon church, because
the church as such has not put
its hands into our politics; it
will not attempt to prescribe Ell

governing of that body, since that

sphere, but it win raise it's voice

WE INVITE COMPARISON.

! One of The funniest things of the age
is why the Republicans nominal ted the
men they did for judges of the district
court We do not remember that we
nave met a single man, Populist, Demo
crat or Republican, who will vote for
any one of the three. That they are
utterly unfit for the Office seems to be
a foregone conclusion; that the Repub-
leans will repudiate them seems
equally certain; but the point is, how
did they get the nomination? No one
seems to know.
The foregoing is from the Inter
Mountain Advocate. We believe it
states the truth. It may be considered
somewhat personal, and to reflect
rather severely on the gentlemen nomi-
mated on the Republican judicial ticket.
We do not so regard it. We are of the
opinion that there is no intent to be-
little those gentlemen as lawyers or as
citizens, but merely to emphasize the
sentiments expressed by people of all
parties apd classes, that they are not
suited to the high position for which
they have been named.
As to the manner of their nomination,
it was evidently accomplished by deals.
Rings were formed for the several can
didates and, by mutual arrangement,
the effect was accomplished of getting
on to the ticket the names of those
whose friends had bargained with each
other 1t is conceded that the Repub-
hcans had men in their ranks far bet
ter fitted for this exalted position than
those who gained their point.
The same may be said in reference to
other portions of the Republican ticket.
and the disgust of many members of
the party is not concealed. 1t is also
a notorious fact that lots of Republi-
cans declare they will not support such
ticket, but will vote for the Demo-
cratic judicial nominees and for some
others on the same ticket
1t is because of this that the Re-
publican orators are so angry over the
argument that one of the prime issues
of the campaign is MEN. They fear
the comparison which is invited and
they want their followers to swallow
their ticket whole, without examina-
ton and without a scratch
We have invited the people of Utah
to compare the Democratic and Re-
publican tickets, and in this important
election, involving the welfare of the
new state on its entrance into the
Union, to vote only for wise, honest
and capable men. fitted fully for the
positions to be filled. We repeat that
invitation and urge again that advice
If that is followed we have no fears
for the result.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-10-16
HOW CAME THOSE IMPRESSIONS.

The reports circulated as to what
was said have been, in many instances,
greatly distorted, as is always the case;
and even where they were correctly
given, they have been seized upon by
politicians on both sides and Improperly
construed.
SO said the Deseret Evening News
Monday night. There were some eX-
aggerations as to what was said at
that priesthood meeting, but taking
the statements of Presidents Woodruff
and Smith as to what vas actually
said, and as they state the case we
have understood it from the irst, how
is it to be explained that all those who
heard what President Smith said i'm
mediately had political thoughts raised
in their minds? How does it come that
when President Smith sat down, "there
was a, sardonic smile upon the face of
every Republican while every Demo-
crat hung his head?" to use the words
of a gentleman who was present and
heard what was said, and who holds
position high in his church, scarcely
less exalted than that of the First
Presidency. How was it that that
large gathering of the leaders of the
church became imbued with political
thoughts all 50 suddenly, all so mys-
teriously? And how was it that their
thoughts were the same, and that those
of one political faith were elated while
those of an opposite political faith were
detected? And how is it that the inn
pressfons created in that meeting have
spread far beyond the confines of the
walls of the building in which it was
held? Let some keen, analytical mind
answer.
