To the Editor of the New York Times:
In note upon the Utah election 1 vent
ured the opinion that strong belief in
protection derived from the teaching of
Brigham Young greatly influenced the
votes of the people. 1our Salt Lake CORE
spondent, in his letter, published in the
Times this morning, takes exception TO
this, and goes into a labored argument
to prove that the motives OF the prophet
were not political. That does not alter
the fact that he was an out-and-out pro-
tectionist, and most consistent one, too,
as he believed in the independence Of
Utah as against the United States, as well
as against the rest of the outside world.
1t does not matter at all what his mo-
tiveS were; his people believed his teach
ings on this subject, as well as upon all
others; SO when the church party and
the Liberal party both came to an end
as organizations, and were merged III the
Democratic and Republican parties, the
appeal of the latter to their old-time
prejudices must have had no inconsider-
able influence. The writer of this letter

he used the privilege which so many
other politicians claim of lying. from the
platform. Your correspondent thinks that
i am deceived with regard to the Repub-
lican promises as to wool, free coinage
and son on. Well did a little election
eering in that region myself, and came
constantly in contact with these argu-
ments. 1t was my endeavor to rebut them.
and | did so with more or less success,
excepting on one occasion when 1 came

THEIR EYES SHOULD BE OPENED.

The question is asked whether Re-
publicans can point to one act of their
party which is or has been favorab
to the free coinage of silver The an
| sWer is, no, they cannot, nor can
anybody point to such an act for them.
Ever since the law of 1873 by which the
Republicans IN Congress demonetized
silver, their party has been opposed to
its restoration.
The adhesion of large numbers of
people in the silver states and terri
tories to the Republican party is re-
markable, in view of their profeSsed
belief in free silver coinage. Not only
are the national leaders of the Repub-
lican party extremely hostile to the
reconciliation of silver, but the great
bulk of the rank and file of the party
are with them on this question.
There can be no dubiety on that
point. At the conventions that have
been held, whether of Republican
League clubs or other gatherings, not
one of them has pronounced III favor
of immediate independent free silver
coinage, but most Of them have de-
clared to the contrary. In the in
stances where hostility to the so-called
silver craze has not been pronounced
the utmost that could be gained by the
small silver minority has been silence
on the subject. The idea which they
entertained that they had achieved a
great victory in that silence is proof
positive that the majority were anti
silver in the highest degree
During the late campaign thousands
of the people of Utah were deluded
into the belief that the Republican
party was favorable to the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l with
gold. No doubt the Republican can
didates and orators who deceived them
were themselves advocates of silver.
But they must have known that the
national Republican party was not
with them but against them on that
important issue.
Why the people of Utah should sup
port a party that is dead against their
interests. when enc of the tenets of
Republicanism is the fostering of Sec
tional requirements and the promotion
of selfish local demands, is something
very difficult to understand
1t is not claimed that the Demo-
cratic party is united on the silver
question. 1t is not denied that many
prominent Democrats share the views
of their compeers and the great mas
ses of the Republican party on the sill
yer question. But it is contended that
the majority of the Democratic party
favor the reconciliation of silver at
the present ratio, and that therefore
the only hope for silver is in the Dem
ocratic party.
The aim of all true silver men in
the United States should be to secure
the nomination of silver President by
the Democratic party in 1896, and the
election Of such a President and as
many free silver candidates for Con-
gress as possible. If that cannot be
accomplished. and within the lines of
the Democratic party, silver will be
again relegated to the rear and the
cause may be reckoned as postponed
for an Indefinite period.
We hope that before another cleo
