NOT AT ALL STRANGE.

A high tariff local contemporary now
vival that is taking place in this coun-
try, and says:
1--WE are informed that the factories
of the east, especially the wooden fac
tories are working; that there is a
general advance in prosperity. That
is not>strange."
Of course it is not strange. 1t is
what was declared by Democratic or
ators and papers would occur, as soon
as the new tariff bill could have the
operation of law. But it is strange
when viewed in the false light of Re
publican theory and prophecy.
The consequences of a reduced tariff
were to be simply appalling. Manu-
features were to be ruined. Wages
were to be reduced at least fifty per
cent. a dollar was to buy as much as
two dollars did before, but people were
to be without the dollar. There was
to be flood of foreign, "pauper-
made" goods, with which cheap ar
ticles the country was to be deluged.
Workshops were to be idle, trade to be
destroyed, bankruptcy and starvation
were to crush the nation.
Instead Of all that, the facts are
be bought at much lower prices than
before, the revival of trade and in
dustry is so marked and increasing
that denials no longer count, except
to further emphasize Republican false
hood. Closed factories are re-opened.
Many of them are enlarged. Wages
have increased in a large number of
industries. The tramps who were not
loafers by profession are once more
employed at their occupations, the
financial situation is serene, American
manufactures are competing with for
eign goods in European markets, conf
dence is becoming established, and if
the currency question could only be
settled as the majority of the Demo-
cratic party would settle it, the era
of prosperity now opened under Dem
ocratic auspices would be the greatest
and grandest that this greatest of all
countries ever saw.
The "hard times of which Republi-
cans made so much in the last cam
paign, as we demonstrated time and
time again. came upon the country
under the full force of Republican
laws and policy. the Republican tariff
and the Republican financial system.
The prosperity now felt comes under
the repeal of several Republican meas
ures which contributed to the general
disaster. 1t is not strange. in the true
light of these patent facts. though it
must seem strange to Republican ruin
prognosticators who have sense
enough and memory enough to recall
their wild presages of ruin and disas-
ter.

THE SILVER CONFERENCE.

This is silver day in Salt Lake City.
Flags are flying. bunting and festoons
adorn the public and business build
ings, and the whole town is alive with
welcomings to the champions of sid
yer, who will be made at home during
their visit.
It is gratifying that so spacious a
building is placed at the service of the
silver conference 1t will hold all
corners. The Tabernacle is a unique
structure and monument to the skill
and enterprise Of the people who built
it and the mind that conceived it. We
suggest to the speakers that there are
a few rules necessary to adopt if they
wish to be heard in that building to
advantage
Distinct articulation is the prime ne
cessity. a full volume of voice is re-
quired but no shouting or strained
pitch. Straightforward address is es-
sential. That is, the speaker should
not turn to the right or the left, but
speak to the centre of the gallery at
the east end. If he turns to the right
his words are likely to be lost to the
audience on the extreme left, and vice
versa.
The acoustic qualities Of the build
ing are such that the very means of
carrying sound easily to the extreme
points in the structure, cause the
voice of a speaker to be drowned If
the audience is not still. Shutting of
feet, walking about the place, convers-
ing among the audience, arouse echoes
which are greatly against the orator.
The gentlemen who come from afar
and from the surrounding states and
territories. will find a sympathetic au-
dience and a people in harmony with
their views. The gold monometallists
are few and far between in Utah. The
free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold, to be the money Of the ma
ton, at the ratio of 16 TO 1, is the doc
trine alike of Democrat, Republican
and Populist. There is very little to
be done by way of a local propaganda.
What is wanted is organization and
practical plans for a campaign among
That, we presume viii be the real
purpose of the convention.
Of course there will be argumenta-
tive silver speeches. That is all
right They will make good educa-
tional literature to be distributed ev-
erywhere. We do not want 10
dampen the ardor of single silver
advocate On the contrary we hope
for some of the best oratorical efforts
on the silver question that have been
delivered in America.
We invite the people to attend the
meetings. The Tabernacle will be
open to the public. The delegates will
occupy but small portion of its
space. The fame of this conference
should go abroad to the ends of the
earth, and the people of this city will
make a great mistake il they do not
gather in large numbers TO swell the
attendance. Welcome to the delegates!
Success to the silver conference!

AN IMPORTANT EVENT.


The Anaconda Standard of Monday
makes editorial reference TO the silver
conference which is to commence today
in the Tabernacle i'm this city, stating
that Montana is deeply interested in
it, and further that:
The event proves that the time for
consultation respecting silver's welfare
was wisely selected. The movement
in favor of free coinage has received
a gratifying impetus, and there can be
no question that word from the west
Will be timely suggestion to thous-
ands of men, who, in eastern constitu-
enc1es, have lately made a declaration
OF their intention to make common
cause with silver's friends.
The call issued by Governor Rick
ards has met with ready response
throughout the northwest, if exception
be made of Montana; the indications
are that the conference at Salt Lake
city will bring together company OF
men whose utteranceS will be impress
sive.
Montana surely ought to take hold
heartily in this matter. yet we suspect
that there is risk of scant representa-
tlon for this state at Wednesdays
meeting. That event would be deplora-
bic, especially in view of the fact that
the conclusions reached next Wednes-
day are pretty soon to be of national
significance.
There is no thought of politics in
this conference; it has silver for it's
theme. Virtually it is held under the
auspices of our own state, yet the out
look is that we are going to cut
small figure i'm the affair.
Governor Richards did wisely and
we'll when he proposed the meeting
The times are ripe for it. Let us honor
the opportunity. Make up your mind
to go to Salt Lake city. to the end that
the utmost emphasis may be given to
a patriotic declaration in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver al
the ratio of 16 to l.

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.

One of the essential differences be-
tween Populism and Democracy, which
the goldite papers endeavor to make
identical because both advocate free
silver coinage, is that which exists be-
tween paternalism and true freedom.
Populism enbodies many doctrines
which are paternalistic in the extreme.
Democracy is everlastingly and ut
terly opposed to such notions.
The mere fact that Populism has
imbibed the free silver theory does
not make it harmonious with the
Democracy, any more than one similar
thread in two pieces of cloth of diff
ferent colors will make them OF the
same pattern, or similar strain in
two different songs Will make them
the same piece of music.
The paternalistic schemes involved
in Populism relative to land owner
ship, government control of railroads
and telegraphs, interference between
workmen and employers, the regula-
ton of wages and hours of labor, etc,
are ali contrary to the Democratic
a parent government, more than is
necessary for national purposes, is an
tagonistic to the genius of Democracy
and its cherished traditions. Local
government and individual lib
erty, to the largest extent compatible
with the general welfare, are the I'M
swerving aims of the Democratic
party. Paternalism is it's natural an
tipode.
The free silver coinage idea has not
been adopted by the Democrats from
the Populists, as Republican goldite
organs pretend and as some alleged
Democratic papers repeat, but has
been taken up by the Populists from
the regular silver advocates in both
the old parties, as a support to the
faIlacious theories of Populism. It
takes some truth always to bolster up
error. Free silver coinage, at the ratio
Of 16 to 1, shines out clearly and daz-
zles the eyes of many, so that they
do not discern the folly of the fiat
money notion which is a part of real
Populism.
Gold and silver as the money Of the
United States, freely coined at the
minis without discrimination as to
either metal at the ratio of Is parts of
silver to 1 part of gold in the respec-
tive dollars, is the old Democratic
financial doctrine, and in now support
ing it there is nothing new in the posi-
ton Of the party. The departure from
Democracy is on the part of those pre-
tended bimetallists who, though desir-
ing the use of silver as subsidiary
coin, want to maintain gold as the
single monetary standard, new doc
trine to call Democratic.
The Democratic party is the old hard
money party of the constitution and
the country, and in advocating a re-
turn to free silver coinage true Demo-
Gratis are simply reverting to first
principles.

BETTER THAN BoUNTIEs.

Thanks to a united Democracy in the
Constitutional convention, aided by a
few Republicans who valued the well
care of the new State above the dogma
of party, Utah will not be burdened
with public debt for the benefit of
private speculaions. and moneyed cor
porations. The public credit cannot be
loaned to start or support lame ven
lures in trade or manufactures.
The probability, too, OF the appro-
priation of public funds for private
uses is very remote. Economy in
public expenses, the limit of taxation,
and maximum of public debt being
provided for in the constitution, the
chances for looting the public treasury
in the shape Of bounties are not at all
