workers as useful members
of the body polite, too
small a share ofthe blessings
of civilization and the good
things Of life to which it has
itself given shape from the
rough material of bountiful
nature. Labor, in short, is
undervalued. This is the
labor question: Wages arc
too low.
Prices, economists agree,
are determined by supply
and demand. Supply, how
ever, in such connection, is
more than the available
store OF the product seeking
Il market. If one trades
wheat for potatoes the
terms of the exchange are
affected by the scarcity or
abundance Of the potatoes
no less than by the scant or
bountiful supply of wheat.
Supply includes. therefore,
the available store seeking a
market, not only of the
thing given in exchange, but
of that also which is re-
ceived. So, also, Of demand
the terms of the exchange
are affected blythe demand for
both products, for potatoes
no less than for wheat.
This principle holds good
in all exchanges, whether of
product for product, pro-
duct for money, or labor for
either product or money.
The supply and demand for
each article determines it's
relative value, and the re-
lative value of each article
is measured against the
relative value of that for
which it is exchanged, and
the result of the comparison,
called by economists "the
ratio Of supply and de-
mand,' we translate into

money. Equally with the
supply of products, there
fore, the supply of money
affects prices. Wages are
the price of labor. Does
not the labor question,
traced to it's source, in all
it's modification then become
the money question?
A scarcity of money re-
duces wages, along with the
price of products, as would
an over-supply of labor;
and a more liberal supply OF
money raises wages, along
with products, as would a
scarcity OF labor.
Do | need other reasons
for urging workingmen to
consider the money question

Is it denied that wages
are low? 1t cannot be
denied that products are
down to bankrupt prices;

THE OLD FAITHFUL MINE.
Amicabie Adjustment of Diaiculti

Amicabie Adjustment of Difficulties
Between Owners and Miners.
A few days ago The Herald copied ali
article from the Butte Mountain
relative TO the troubles between the
employers and employees at the Old
Faithful mine. The trouble has since
been satisfactorily arranged, and in
speaking of the matter the Inter Noun
tain says:
Through the efforts of Ex-Governor
B. f. White an amicable adjustment OF
the troubles at the Old Faithful mine
and mill at Bannack has been arrived
at. The trouble came up on the failui
of the lessees to make a payment on
the bond then due. The men employed
at the mill and mine, upon learning
of the default of payment, became in
terested IN the matter of their wages,
and learning that the owners OF the
property We're contemplating institute
ing legal proceedings to recover pos
session Of the mine and mill took
possession of the property themselves,
and also seized Manager Thurston, de-
claring that he would be held until
their wages were paid, and announced
that they would run the mill and mine
until sufficient bullion was treated TO
satisfy their claims, the output OF the
mill being about 5000 per day.
Manager Thurston succeeded in max
ing his escape and reached Dillon a
rumor reached him shortly after ar
irving there that the men were de-
stroying the property and were making
away with the product of the mil
without keeping any account of the
same. He caused complaints to be filed
charging them with grand larceny, and
the sheriff of Beaverhead county ar
rested about two-thirds of the men and
lodged them in the Dillon jail. The
other men remained at Bannack and
continued work at the mine and mill.
When the cases came up for hearing
Saturday the men were discharged, as
stated yesterday. Mr.. Thurston was
unable to arrive at any satisfactory
settlement with the men until ex-Gov-
ernor White, who is interested in the
property, adjusted matters by making
an agreement with the men that all
the gold mined and milled While the
men were in possession of the property
should be deposited in bank and held
as security for their payment. The
property was turned over to the iessees
and the men returned to work yester-
day morning perfectly satisfied.

restored he proceeded with his address.
Briefly, he laid the distress the poor
| people of the country are suffering
at the door of the money power which
is and has been using it's enormous
influence through the medium of the
Republican party to fasten gold
standard upon the people. They ar
que" said he, that the free coinage or
silver will reduce the wages of the
laborer by cutting its value in half. yet
we see and hear Mr.. Hanna and every
other monOpolist in the land who has
forever oppressed the labOrer, and
reduced his pay whenever opportunity
offered. taking up the cause of gold
and crying out that the gold standard
must be maintained. We hear them say
the gold standard will increase the pay
of the workingman and raise the price
of the farmers product, yet strange 10
say. every coupon clipper, every board
of trade shark, every protected manu-
facturer and every grain and produce
gambler whose interests would suffer
greatest If such were the case, is cry
ing men. I ask you, has it been the
experience of the people Of this nation
that such men have taken so great an
interest in the welfare of the laborer
and the farmer, except when a political
campaign has come arOund?'
Mr. Harris Illustrated graphically the
falsity of the Republican argument that
free silver would reduce the price of the
farmers product and that a gold stand
ard would advance it, and then asked,
if this were so. why it is that at the
present time, in q year when harveStS
have been bOunteous to an extent rarely
equalled, why it is that the farmer can
scarcely sell his products at any price.
He answered the question by saying it
was because we have their gold stand
ard now and the common people can
not get money to buy those products.
Mr.. Harris spoke nearly two hours.
and in conclusion recited a. fable from
the classics to illustrate the position of
Republicans locally. 1t was the fable
OF the satyr who was found cold and
starving by the roadside by a kind
hearted farmer, who took him in and
warmed him by a. bright fire. The satyr
began blowing on his fingers and when
asked why he did so, replied, 1sto warm
them Then, when the privilege was
given him to eat, he began blowing it.
and was again asked why he did so.
He replied, ito cool it," Whereupon the
farmer turned him away. saying he
would have no one about him who could
blow hot and cold with the same
breath
The Republicans of Utah are en-
deavoring to blow both hot and cold IN
the same breath in this campaign. and
L predict they will be turned out be-
cause of it, said Mr.. Harris in con-
clusion.
All through Mr.. Harris speech wag
punctuated with applause, which evil
denced the appreciation of his hearers.
When he had finished, Chairman Barnes
introduced Mrs. Game, who spoke at
considerable length. giving an able ex-
position of the political conditions .,f II no
day from woman's point of view. She
made some very strong points in favor
of the Democratic cause and her re-
marks were received with equally as
much warmth as those. of the principal
speaker
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-10-09
Judge King Mt Tnylorsville.

Probably the largest and most en-
thusiastic political meeting Taylorsville
ever saw was the one held there last
evening at which Judge King was the
principal speaker and the great attrac-
ton.
The hall was crowded to suffocation
and many were unable to gain admit
lance at all. Judge King delivered a
most brilliant address which called out
unbounded enthusiasm and he received
cheers again and again from both Dem
ocrats and Republicans, and there were
quite number of the latter present
who will vote the Democratic ticket
this year.
The financial issue was the theme of
Judge King address, in which he re-
ferred to the ability of the United
States to maintain alone bimetallic
standard at the ratio of Is to 1, and
compared the strength and wealth Of
the nation now with its, 70, O00, 600 of peo-
pie and unbounded resources with what
it was thirty years ago, few in num-
bers and comparatively weak, but even
then when silver was a money metal
in the fullest sense it was maintained
at ratio of Is to l with gold.
He directed the attention of the aud
fence to the fo0lishness of clinging, to
a party for the sake of a name only,
and urged that independence of action
was the only intelligent method to
adopt. If a Republican found that the
principles he believed in were no longer
advocated by that party, the only sen
sible and intelligent thing to do was
TO affiliate with party in which he
found what he believed to be truth.
History gave many examples of people
parents, relatives, friends and country
for the sake of religion and freedom,
and it was, after all, in comparison
with such sacrifices, a small thing for
a man to desert a political party the
principles of which he could no longer
en5orse.
The judge paid a high tribute to Ham
ilton, Jefferson, Washington, Jackson
and Lincoln, with whom Bryan was
worthy to be compared. He compared
Bryan, man of the people, right out
among them and one of them, with Nc
kinney. who sits in his drawing room
the representative of tine trusts and the
combines. and receives the homage OF
those who call upon him, some volun-
tarlly out great majority through
coercion Chauncey Depew, the speaker
said, had, in a. conversation with Mr..
Gladstone in England. told that states
man that 1t was within the power of
one hundred men in the United States
to stop every railroad and every fac
tory in this country, and Major Nc
hinley was the tool of these hundred
gentlemen.
The judge referred to the constant fall
in prices of every commodity since the
decentralization of silver and the conse.
quent ruination of producers, the farm
ers, the wool growers and the miners
and every other class who produce any
thing.

RALLY AT kAYSyILLE.
Democratic Campaign Opened in
Davis County Last Might.


Davis County Last Might
kAYSVILLE, Oct. S.-The Demo-
cratic campaign in Davis county was
opened here tonight by one of the larp-
est and most enthusiastic rallies ever
| held IN Davis county by the Demo-
cratic party The hall in which the
rally was held was packed to it's ut
most capacity and half as manv as
were in the hall were turned away be-
cause they could not gain an entrance
The speaker of the evening was Hon.
FISHER S. Harris, of Salt Lake CITY.
VINO spoke over an hour and a half and
! delivered what is considered the most
mastery address ever delivered by a.
political speaker in kaysville Mr.
harris was most enthusiastically re-
ce1Ved when he made his appearance
on the platform and when he COM
menced speaking he captured his audi
ence with his first sentence. As he
proceeded he spoke with great eIo-
quence, which stirred his listeners till
they interrupted him almost constantly
with applause.
Mrs. Margaret E. Caine, of Salt Lake,
also addressed the meeting and, like
Mr.. Harris, made a profound impress
| speakers were Hyrum Stewart and ].
G. N. Barnes, who delivered short.
pointed addresses which helped in
crease the enthusiasm. The meeting
was of so enthusiastic a nature and
the speeches SO apropos to .he Oc-
casion that it cannot fail to have a
marked effect on the campaign. The
leaders of the Democracy here are
much gratified at the suspicious open
ing. A large percentage of the at
tendance were Republicans, many of
whom asserted after the meeting that
the Democratic ticket was good enough
for them this fall.
When Mr.. Harris and Mrs. Game ar
rived by the Union Pacific shortly be-
fore S o'clock, they were met by the
Kaysville brass band and large dele
cation of the local Democracy. A pro-
cession was formed and during the
march to the hall the community was
aroused by the patriotic airs played by
the band.
Arrived at the hall, it was found that
standing room was already at a pre-
MUM and ten minutes later the place
was packed TO suffocation. The party
proceeded at once to the platform and
the visiting speakers were given an
ovation that lasted several minutes.
Hyrum Stewart called the meeting to
order and in doing so spoke briefly on
the issues which confront the oartv
in the campaign. AS he concluded he
introduced J. G.. n. Barnes as chair
man of the meeting
Mr. Barnes said he would not con-
sumo much of the time of the meeting
as there were other speakers whom he
desired should have full opportunity
of expressing their views to the peo-
pie of Kaysville He, however, went
into the merits of the positions of the
two parties with reference to silver and
showed that while the Republican
party had made Dretenses in the past
that it believed in bimetallisn, it was
the Democratic party that had stood
for bimetallism since the time of Wash
ington. Mr. Barnes then introduced
Mr.. Harris as the speaker of the even
ing. Mr. Harris was given another
f1attering reception which he gracious
ly acknowledged and when quiet was

Shipment of Rich Ore to BE Made at

an Early Day.
Superintendent w. II. Evans of the
Dipper mine, near the mouth of Little
Cottonwood canyon, was in the city
yesterday He reports his property
looking exceedingly well-in fact, bo-
nanza has apparently been struck.
The shaft on this ground is now
down depth of thirty feet, with
drift twenty-one feet cutting an ore
vein five feet in width, the shaft show
ing the vein all the way down, in
which free gold can be seen in album
dance, with an excellent showing at the
bottom of the shaft. This seems to
indicate that the vein is a assure and
leads to great body or deposit of ore.
superintendent Evans had separate
samples taken across the vein and the
result from the first assay was S.
to the ton. The second yielded $40. sc.
and the third SIS, while the results
from the vein proper were from eleven
up TO twenty-seven ounces in gold
This is certainly a very promising
proposition.
Mr.. Evans informed The Herald that
ne has from thirty-flve to forty tons
of second-class ore and from four to
five tons of ffrst-claSs ore now on the
dump. He calculates to make a ship
ment Within two weeks and the result
will be watched with interest.
E1r Evans brother, who has worked
very energetically during the past three
years trenching and prospecting on the
Dipper hill, has now demonstrated
the fact that the entire hill for about
400 feet in width and running in a
northeasterly direction from 700 to 500
feet, is nothing less than a mass of
gold ore, and his opinion is that the
vein continues on for several thousand
feet, cutting the formation like a knife

been considering the building of mill
for the treatment of its low-grade ore.

is more than probable that one will be
