WILL STAND BY HIS PARTY.

The gold men in the Democratic
party are talking bolt less and less in
the event of the adoption of free
silver platform and the nomination Of
a free silver candidate by the Chicago
convention. EX-Congressman George
Fred Williams. Of Massachusetts, made
a speech at Portland, Me. the other
day. He has been and still is most
ardent advocate of the gold standard,
yet he took occasion to say that he
would not bolt the Democratic ticket
in case the Chicago convention should
declare for free coinage. His words
We're:
l decline in advance to bolt an honest
Democratic candidate to assist in the
election of the representa- tive of mo-
nopoly and desert forces which can
alone rescue the country from indus
trial oppression.
There may be some boiling by gold
men in the Democratic party because
the platform and candidate will be for
free silver but it is doubtful if it will
be extensive. The prospect of the cleo
ton OF Mckinley If they sulk in their
tents. or worse, go over to the enemy,
is 4. ot a pleasant one. The more they
cc1 template it the more hateful it will
be >ome to them.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-06-23
THE SILVER FIGHT Ap CHICAGO.

Two weeks from today the Demo-
cratic national convention meets in
Chicago. Everyone realizes that there
will be a contest over the platform.
whether it shall declare for free silver
or for the gold standard. We have
never doubted that it would declare for
silver. But there will be a big fight
against such d declaration, and this
fact should be constantly borne in
mind by the silver delegates. They
will meet foes who are masters of the
art of political warfare and who must
not be despised though they be in the
minority. just at present there is
much talk that the gold men will not
bolt, but that they will stand by the
platform and nominee though both be
for free silver. 1t is to be hoped that
they will, but such talk should deceive
no one. 1t is well calculated to placate
the silver men and dispose them to
consider a. proposition to make some
slight concessions, just to show that
there is no i'll feeling. The moment
that any concession is made the way
is opened for all concessions. The gold
men will so to Chicago filled with
sweet reasonableness If needs be,
they will appear as harmless as doves
yet be as wise as serpents.
The silver delegates should bear all
this in mind. If they will keep their
eye constantly upon the silver polar
star there viii be no danger. No mat
ter what their strength they cannot
afford to take any chances. No matter
what the gold men may threaten or
do, the plain duty of the Chicago con-
vention is to declare for free silver
and nominate free silver Democrat
as the party standard bearer. No one
but a Democrat can hold the Demo-
cratic standard aloft.

FOR GOOD ROADS.


The League OF American Wheelmen
has addressed to each of the delegates
to the Democratic national convention
circular asking that they give the
matter of having a good roads plank
inserted in the Democratic national
platform their attention.
Few questions more intimately con-
Germ the people of all classes than the
one of roads. 1t has been said, and
the saying is generally accepted as en-
bodying truth, that a peoples ad-
vancement in civilization may be judg-
ed from the roads they maintain. They
show whether or not the people travel
much and whether they are of a social
nature. Good roads encourage com
munication among the people, which
means an interchange and a growth
of ideas. The fame of the good roads
of the Roman empire has come down
through the centuries, and to them
that mighty empire owed much Of it's
greatness. But the people of this
country are as much interested in good
roads as ever the old Romans were.
Within the past two or three years
there has been general awakening
to the fact that our roads are very
miserable affairs, and the consequence
is that there has been a demand for
their Improvement. AT no distant day
the state legislatures will take heed
of it and good roads will not be a
dream, but a reality.
The Inauguration of the movement
for good roads was made by the wheel
men. 1t may be said that their inter
est in them is a selfish one. No doubt
it is, but if they succeed in having
their interest satisfied every citizen
will be benefited thereby This can be
said OF but few movements which are
primarily inaugurated by class for
its benefit.
The proper place for a good roads
plank is in state platforms, and not in
national platform. We should be
glad to see it in the platforms of both
parties in this state. The wheelmen
are engaged in good work; may they
succeed.

THE FIGHT is ON.

Under the above heading the New
York World discusses President Cleve-
lands recent letter and the action OF
Mr.. William c. Whitney in postponing
his trip to Europe that he may go to
Chicago ana lead the fight for gold
1t cannot praise Mr.. Whitney too
highly for his devotion to duty and
country. But the most important part
of its article is that portion of 1t
which consists of a quotation from
letter written by Mr.. Whitney last
February. to a citizen of Mississippi
1t runs as follows:
/ am a believer in gold and silver as
the metallic basis of values and of the
worlds currency. and l am confident
MAT within a time not far distant there
will be a concurrence of the nations
upon that subject by which the ratios
of value of the two metals for the coin
age and currency purposes Will be hXed
and the stability of such values main
tanned by an international agreement.
] am aware this view is looked upon as
financial heresy by some and as
visionary by others. But such persons
must be themselves ignorant of the
latest DEVELOPMENTS of scientific
thought upon this subject and the
rapid advancement this view is max
ing where heretofore il has had little
support. Until that occurs / believe
that any action by the United States
alone would be disastrous to US, would
bring general ruin to our present pros
perity and would hinder the true and
final solution of the problem.
That is to say Mr. Whitney is an in
ternational bimetallist. We believe it
is safe to assume that the view here
set forth is the one that the gold men
in the Democratic party will try to i'm
pose upon the Chicago convention 1t
is specious; it looks quite scientific,
and gives promise of favorable inter
national action on a most important
question at an early date Upon it
can be built some very fine and fetch
ing arguments, arguments we'll calcu-
lated to appeal to any wavering man.
Free silver men, men who have the
welfare of the people and the country
at heart should give no heed to them.
Their whole purpose will be to defeat
a declaration in favor Of free silver and
the nomination of a free silver candi-
date
The fight is on and let it be to a
finish. Let there be no makeshifts. no
compromises, but let the people have
fair, square issue placed before them
than they may decide this great
financial question for themselves.
