AN ANCHOR TO wINDwARD.

The advocates of the gold standard
make much of the report that the Eng
liSh RothschildS and the Earrings are in
sympathy with the bimetallic movement
as showing that the money views of the
great bankers are not shaped by selfish
considerations.
But does the conclusion necessarily fol-
low?
situation at present is the increase of
gold and the decrease of silver produc-
ton. The statistics compiled by the di-
rector of the mint and the Engineering
and Mining Journal show falling off in
the production of silver last year amount
ing in value to nearly S15,000000, and an
increase in the production of gold of
about So, 500 COO.
1t will be remembered that while the
negotiations for the last issue of bonds
were pending, the representative in this
country of the German Rothschilds said
they preferred coin" to gold" bonds for
long term, because it was highly proba-
BILE that silver would again become more
valuable than gold, and they wanted a
choice of the best money for payment
The process of securing silver coinage
by International agreement will be eX-
ceedingly slow. With a decreasing pro-
ducton of silver and an increasing pro-
duction of gold there is reason TO expect
a reversal of the position of the two
metals, and should that take place there
will be no question as to the coin in
which the money-lender will want pay
ment of Indebtedness to be made.
Whenever silver reaches a premium
over gold its alleged fluctuations, which
the financiers say make it bad money
sound money! or them from demanding
1t as the only honest money" for the
payment of debts. Sound money" in the
vocabulary of the financiers, is the dear
est money. Their bimetallic sympathy is
an anchor to windward.-St. Louis Post

statement that it demolishes the
theory of the relation of population tc

tirely untrue.
1t is such arguments as that put
forth by the Pioneer Press that the
goldites are using with which to blind
the eyes Of the unrefecting. But that

up public interest in the great ques-
ton of questions, and the result will
be earnest inquiry, which is always
favorable to truth. Get the people to
contrast the sound arguments of BIZ
metallism with the sophistry of gold
monometallism, and it will not be long
before the light of truth will penetrate
among the masses. so that they will
rise in their strength and pelt goldism
to death with their invincible ballots.

REPUBLICAN, REASONING.

1t is amusing to notice the style of
reasoning adopted by our Republican
contemporaries, when discoursing on
the tariff question and its relation to
the Democratic party. An eastern Re-
publican paper, commenting on the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States on the income tax pro-
vision. makes these remarks:
There is practically nothing left TO
provide tn. bulk of the necessary rev
enues of the Federal government ex-
cept the taxes on imports On the
custom house rests and always will
rest the burden of collecting the
moneys to pay the expenses Of the
Federal administration.
by the decision of the Supreme
Court the Democratic theories as to
the constitutional method of raising
revenue have been completely refuted.
That which the Democrats declared
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-06-07

I was an unconstitutional method of
taxation, the Supreme Court has de-
clared TO be constitutional, and that
which the Democrats declared was a
constitutional method, the Supreme
/ Court has held to be in violation of
| the organic law"
That is funny. The Democratic doc
| trine is that a tariff must be for reve-
nue. only. The Republican theory is
that tariff may be levied for protec-
ton. The argument raised is that
as there is nothing left to provide
revenue but the duties on imports,
therefore tariff for that purpose Is in
violation Of organic lawl
That is to say, the Democrats con-
tend for tariff for revenue only; the
decision of the court leaves that
method as the only way by which to
raise revenue; therefore the court in
declaring the Democratic method the
only legal one left. condemned the
Democratic doctrine! 1t seems as
though rank Republicanism makes
idiots of its extreme advocates.
Did the court say anything about
protection" or free trade" directly
or incidentally? Not a word. 1t ruled
against the constitutionality of the in
come tax provision. But that had no
relation to protection. But if, as ar
gued by our contemporary, it leaves
no other way to raise revenue than by
the tariff, is not tariff for revenue the
straight constitutional doctrine, and,
if anything, does not the decision sup
port the Democratic principle?
The Democrats declared that taxa
ton for the protection of some partic-
ular interest, or business, or corpora
ton, or individual is unconstitutional.
That taxation can only be levied for
public purposes. That duties on inn
ports may be imposed for revenue
only. The court does not say to the
contrary. The court says nothing
about it. But our contemporary proves
the very reverse OF it's own contention.
For if the only way left to raise reve-
nue. is by the tariff. then the Demo-
cratic principle of tariff for revenue is
and must be right.

DEAD ON THE FIELD OF HONOR

Dead on the field of honor,''
The story has oft been told
OF noble foreign soldier,
So gallant, true and bold
Ihat after death, from the roll call
Still was read his honored name,
And Dead on the field of honor
Was the proud response that came
Came from the lips of comrades
Who thus through the changeful years
Kept mis- name before the nation.
Embalmed with its grateful tears,
And on this day of remembrance,
AS ever and aye it should be,
Come thoughts OF the old time story,
This legend from over the sea.
Dead on the field of honorr'
How the stirring words, yet sad,
Thrill over our burning heartStringS
While we think of the bright faced lad,
Or of one in the prime of manhood.
With emotions strong and deep,
For they died on the field of honor
And in graves of honor sleep.
'Tis long since the notes of conflict
ReSounded in our ears,
Long since the struggle ended
In triumph, yet in tears.
Triumph that right had conquered,
Tears for the hearts that bIed,
Who only saw in their sorrow
The piteouS mounds of the dead.
But time soothes keenest anguish,
And twined with our wreath OF yew
The palm leaf and the laurel
Shine clearly forth to view.
We know they died for country
And are proud, while yet we weep,
That they died on the field of honor
Selected.

AS TO a NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Inc following resolution adopted at
the Illinois Democratic silver conyen-
tlon. should be responded to and en-
dorsed by the members of the national
committee who favor the settlement
OF the coinage question without furth-
er delay. After an animated debate
1t was adopted with enthusiasm:
Resolved, That we request the
democratic national committee to call
9. hauonal convention TO consider the
money question not later than August
1850 IT The committee refuses to cali
9 S d convention, then we invite the
democratic state committees of other
stdIeSs TO take concurrent action with
me Democratic state committee of
THIS state in calling such convention -
Ii is question whether the party is
suttclently educated in the east on the
SILVER question to secure as large a
minority in favor of free silver COIN
age as is desirable But the matter
Is assuming such vast Importance
that it is requisite that the position
OIL the respective parties in relation to
1t shall be defined, so as to leave no
doubt as TO where they stand, as
tDAASASol INSTALLATIONS.
III the Democratic convention de-
clares for true bimetallism. the Re-
publican party will have to define its
policy. Reluctant as it's leaders may
be to express their views openly, the
assembling of a national Democratic
convention will necessitate a RepubIi-
can gathering and declaration of
principles on the money question. and
the country will knoW then which
lead they are to follow.
1t may be thought by conservative
Democrats that the calling OF a con-
Vention as early as August. 1895. is a
little too precipitate. But the ardent
advocates of silver, who see in the
adoption Of old time bimetallism by
the Democratic party it's assurance of
success, are anxious to make the |
stand at once, so as to have time to /
educate the masses, not only as to /
the merits of the silver question, but
also to the fact that all classes will
nave to rally to the Democratic flag
In 1896, in order to secure a return to /
the former financial policy of the ma
ton.
The national committee are already
awake to the sound of the call from
and it will soon be determined
whether there is to be a national con-
vention at the time mentioned. The
views of the committeeman of the
various states and territories are in
demand and will soon be published
1t is very important question.

HARRISON THE MAN.

The harmony" dinner given by
Chauncey NJ. Depew turns ou- as was
suspected, to have been a private Do
litical conference stephen b Elkins
has since declared in favor of Earri-
son as the Republican caldidlte for
/ the presidency and Depew echoes the
declaration.
Harrison is by long odds tie most
eligible man in the party for the po-
sition. He has the prestige oe his oc-
cupancy of the presidency ia Which he
satisfied the capitalists and The corpor-
atoms and the extreme rrotec1!onists
Of the country. He is in favor Of the
gold standard, so as to be acceptable
+ to the so-called sound money advo-
Gates, and he leans to an enlargd use
of silver and thus placates a certain
number of the party who are plated BIZ
metallists. Harrison is regarded as A
safe man by the money rover. and
that is going to WELD an immense in
fluence in the struggle to come.
1t is evident that MCKINLEY has lost
ground. His boom began too early.
He has stumped the country prema-
turely, neglecting his duties at home
that he might make political heodvav
abroad. While Governor of Ohio his
time and energies were largely ex-
pended in other states. and tbou~b
he gained applause as a sneaker
among Republicans who listened 70
his high protection arguments. The
conviction was felt that he was advo-
eating lost cause and wasting his
strength on past issue. And what
influence he gained elsewhere he lost
in the state that he neglected.
Reed is heard little of at present.
In that he is wise. He is waiting his
opportunity. If it does not come this
time he will not lose ground. But g
against Harrison he lacks strength :
conservative and safe leader. He is
as much of straddler as Harrison on
the money question, and while he
SHINES as a joker, like a smaller would |
oe statesman in these parts, he is NOT
any the greater for that quality in the
eyes OF the solid men of his party.
There are other and lesser men with
presidential ambitions. but they do not
figure in the front rank where Harri. !
son stands. Elkins is one of the |
shrewdest politicians of the party, and
his declaration for Harrison NAV he
regarded as significant. particularly
When 1t is seconded by Depew. FL
klns advice when west, of a compro-
mise on the silver question, is in line
with his choice of Harrison for Repub-
lican leader, and altogether we regard
this movement as shadow of coming
events.
