THE SALT LAKE HERALDJFRIDAY. NOVEMBER /, 1895:

and like the star of Bethlehem would
be the signal for the blessings to hui
mainly which were to follow. This
state would be one of the greatest in
the union which formed the greatest
republic on earth. The fathtrs of Utah
laid all their plans for great state
and ours will be a land of song and
story and now the people of Utah
would be Americans in fact as we'll as
in name. He then spoke of the Repub-
lican principle of protection and high
tariff as against the Democratic the
Dry of low tariff; the latter he consid-
cred an exploded idea, a relic of the
past. Protection alone would bring
prosperity and that was to be obtained
only by voting the Republican ticket
Men like you whose energies have
been eXerted to develop the resources
of this country, whose enterprise has
built the railroads and factories, con-
structed the bridges and water ways,
causing their waters to flow out upon
and over the parched and arid plains,
causing the wilderness to bloom like
the rose. Men like you who have de-
voted the best years of a grand and
noble manhood to develop it's resourc-
es, building up the industries of
country can never be unmindful of it's
future. You cannot be unmindful Of
the acts of legislation, effecting as it
does all your labors of the past, your
plans and hopes of the future, that is
being proposed by each one of the
great national political parties, who
are soliciting your aid and support in
the coming contest. Parties whose
ideas and beliefs upon the great econ
omic and financial questions of the
day. are Numerically opposite, as wide
apart as the poles of the earth.
One party says, protect home indus
try and give him who labors and
creates those articles which we need
an opportunity to raise above the ne
cessity of daily toll, that his declin-
ing years may be filled with peace and
comfort, dependent upon none, enjoy
ing in the fullest the fruits of his early
and honest toll.
The other party says: Filing wide
open the gates, remove all barriers,
place the American laborer and his
products upon the same footing as
those of Europe, and in the fierce COM
let them struggle for their daily bread
and the necessaries of life.'' The Re
publican party says: Let US go on
ward in the march of progress, let us
add to the wealth of our country, let
us employ every idle man and woman,
let us develop our immense and mex
haustible resources, let us place man
kind upon a higher plane of intellect,
Of usefulness, of education, BETTING
great and grand people.
The Democratic party says: Let us
turn backward and retrace the course
over which we have marched, let us
forget that our country is prosperous,
our people happy; let us forget all the
marvellous advancement made in the
past While following the banneS of
protection, and see if we cannot achieve
greater trumphs with the sophistries
Of free trade.
magnificent territory, soon to be num-
bered as one of the states forming the
American republic, soon to be num-
bered among the consultations of stars
glittering upon the folds of that grand
old banner; are you willing to turn
your back upon a past that has been
brilliant, upon a future that is bright
with the rainbow of'promise, and adopt
a policy that has wrought ruin, pro-
wherever tried? God forbid. You can
not do it, YOU who have made our
home upon the magnificent plains in
the beautiful valleys, and among the
grand old hills and mountains, whose
lives have been one grand march of
progress cannot do 1t.
The pathway over which have
marched that host of brave and noble
men, who compose the Republican
party, leads onward and upward to
greater and grander future, upward
from the gloom of poverty and toll to
the sunlight of prosperity and rest. The
Republican party is your party. I am
confident of the future, that in the
coming contest the most earnest work
ers in behalf of the Republican party,
in behalf Of the prosperity of the ter
ritory, will be the men who formed the
advance guard of civilization, the path
finders of the west.
Mountebank FafrchiId.
The last speaker was Lee Fairchild.
He began by referring to The Salt
Lake Herald, from which he said he
had first learned that he was noun
tebank. He said it was not true that
he had at any time offered his services
to the Republican state central com
mittee. He thought it would be a good
thing if all the Democrats were sent
to Patagonia, but it would be hell on
Patagonia, but he preferred Democrats
to Populists. He denounced the de-
monetization crime of 1873 committed
by the Republicans; told a lot of funny
stories with good deal of dry humor

an hour, after which he became weari-
some. He sent a message to the Salt
Lake Herald that if there wasn't
change in administration Charley
Crane, who is now wearing cotton
socks, wouldn't be able to wear any
socks at all.
If Cleveland, said the speaker had
done in any other country what he has
done in this, no power on earth could
save him from the assassn's knife. The
suggestion was received in dead 81
lence, not without wonder
The people got impatient and he alb
ruptly closed his rather outre speech.
The company goes to Bingham to-
day, where they will give a perform
ance in the evening. On Saturday night
they will hold forth at Morgan City
and will complete the tour at Murray
on Monday night.
