Must Be DaNccd BY Di,netalism
Salt Lake, April l7.-,rhc rcpubli-
can state convention has selected
Frank !. Cannon, arthur Brown. @.
e. Allen, Isaac Trj1fnbo, W. S Nc
Cormick and Thomas lIrarns as dele
gates to the st. Louis convention.
Tie convention was called to order
at II O'Clock by Chairman Dooley in
/, few well chosen remarks outlining
the issues Of the coming campaign.
Chairman 4. l.. Thomas made an
eloquent speech in the interest of
republican principles and closed with
q strong appeal for protection and
bimctalism, for the best interest Of
the party and country. Congratuia-
tory kilograms were received from
Senator Brown and Representative
Allen. The platform is confined al
most entirely to protection and BIZ
mctallism and the sense Of the con-
vcntion is exprc csscd in tho following
language:
"Wc believe in a oicctiEc1 G;lriif;
we believe in reciprocity: We believe
in binctallism, which is the full rec
oynition alike Of gold and silver and
their free coinage III the mints Of the
nation at Il ratio Of s to |. We con-

today Because Of the attempt t. sub
Sli!utc for q I'?W'ortivc tariff a tariff
for revenue, and because Of the de-
strllctiun Of silver as a money or final
redemption.
We hold that a policy which has
filled the land with idle men, which
takes from labor its honest reward,
which doubles the burden Of debt,
which, amid bountifu harycsts in Il
time Of profound peace, makes ncccs-
sary the issuing OF hundreds Of mil
lions dollars worth Of Interest -heor-
inc bonds in order to meet the cur
rent expenses Of the government. is
an impeachment Of both the intclIi-
gcncc and integrity Of those who con-
troll our government.
p, We hold that as Il tariff for revenue
!! has failed to restore prosperity. SO q
protective tariff. as long us the money
Of the country is held. ounce for
ounce, 100 per cent higher than the
money Of the Orient and Of Spanish
America, is imputcut to save our
farmers and manufacturers against d
competition which they are helpless
. to meet and we repudiatc the belief
that protection without bmctallism
, can restore prosperity. 'i,hc situa-
tion makes clear that bimcjaIiism
and protection must be accepted as
constituting one vital, indiyisiblc
| principle, that not only the progress
but the safety OF the industries Of
our country and the toiIcrs who carry
