failure was the threat OF Democrats
free trade. To the unreasoning, preju-
diced partisan that explanation was
sufficient for all purposes. 1t went in
Utah as well as elsewhere, and the
Republicans in this state have relied
upon it with great success. If the
Republicans of this state were told
that eastern mill owners closed their
manufactures for political effect and
for nothing else. they were sure that
such was not the case, that no one
could be so wicked and practice such
duplicity. But they did.
The people of Utah this year, with
out political distinction. will see that
the curtailing Of production by the
New England cotton mills is but a
hollow trick intended solely for the
purpose of producing an effect, sort
of pyrotechnical display. The people
of Utah do not fear any threat" Of
free silver, no matter whence it comes.
One should fear the threat OF free
silver as he would the threat" of pros
perity and plenty. May the threat
be carried out.

THE SILVER MEN.

Judge Powers leaves for Chicago
this morning to attend a meeting Of
the silver men next Tuesday At that
meeting there will be representatives
Of the silver interests from all the
states. The object is to perfect all
arrangements and details for the fight
in favor of free silver in the Democrat
ic convention which meets a week from
Tuesday. 1t is fully realized by them
large majority in the convention, still
they will have to meet we'll organ
lied, well disciplined, a determined
and an aggressive foe that will fight
for gold as for their very lives. The
silver men realize this and are pre-
pairing for it. The fight will give OPP
portunity for display of all the art
of a Machiavelli, all the resources of
Talleyrand. The gold men are calling
to their assistance leaders of national
renown. The gold forces will be mar
shaled under such men as eX-Secretary
of the Navy William c. Whitney, ex-
Governor William Russell, Of Massa-
chusetts; ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Fairchild; Mr.. Perry Belmont, and
others. 1t viii be a grand array, but
it will be met by one as grand. The
leaders OF the silver forces will be
such men as Morgan, Vest, Jones of
Arkansas, Bland, Matthews and others
equally as well known. Their plans
will be as perfect. their leadership as
brilliant and their determination as
strong as that Of Mr.. Whitney and his
aids. The silver men will be there for
the purpose of acting, and not for
parleying; they will make no conces-
sions, no compromise, on the one great
issue Of the free and independent COIN
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
The gold men may threaten and cajole
as they will. but they will not be able
to turn the silver men from their pur-
pose.
The leaders of the silver forces do
wisely in holding their councils of war
a week before the battle begins. 1t
will make them familiar with the bat
tie ground and enable them to dispose
their forces, to the best advantage.

Major Mckinley has been talking
some since his nomination, buG moi
upon the one great issue of the day
that he carefully avoids. Several dele
cations called upon him on their way
home from the st. Louis convention
and to them he spoke. He has much
to say about policy that will give
to every American workingman Amer
lean wages. To a delegation Of work
ingmen he said:
1 cannot MISUNDERSTANDING can
MISUNDERSTANDING meaning OF thesS
demonstrations on the part OF the
workingTnen. They mean just one
thing, and that thing is that in the
mind of every American workingman
is the thought that this great Amerl-
can doctrine of protection is associated
with wages and work, and linked with
home, with family, with country and
with general prosperity. That, fellow
citizens, is what all these denonstra-
tioms signify They mean that the peo-
pie of this country want an industrial
policy that is for America and for
Americans. They mean they intend
to return to that policy which lies al
the foundation of our national pros;
perity, which is the safest prop to the
national treasury. and which is the bul-
wark of our industrial independence
and financial honor.
Had Major Mckinley carefully studied
the reasons given by Senators Teller
and Cannon and those who followed
them out of the st. Louis convention
for their course, he would much better
have understood the condition of the
workingmen in this country than his
talk to this delegation shows him tc
understand it. If he is elected and pur-
sues his god standard policy he will
find that the demonstrations will con-
tinue and that his boasted protection
is not a prop to the national treasury
but broken reed. He is ignoring the
issue of the day. disregarding the rem
edy for the distress that is throughout
the land.

TRYING TO SHIFT THE ISSUE.

1t is really amusing to watch the
frantic efforts of those Democratic
papers that are opposed to free silver
to raise up another issue on which to
go before the Chicago convention and
eventually before the people They
are becoming quite frantic in their
efforts to set forth and show the beau
ties and the blessings of International
bimetallsts, that ignis fatuus which has
led the advocates of free silver astray
so many times. But it will lead them
astray no more for they have learned
TO know it as it fits by to lure them
away from the true and safe paths
into the Quagmires and quicksands
where they have so often been led
and lost before. Whatever else the
free silver men may not have learned,
they have at least learned the moral
of the fable of 1.-THE Farmer and the
Lark
BY a very strange coincidence, it
would almost seem by a compact, the
Democratic papers of New York and
Major Mckinley and Mr.. Carrot A.
Hobart are ali of sudden trying to
force the tariff to the front as an is
sue. The silver men are sometimes
accused of knowing no party. Very
truthfully can that accusation be made
against the gold men. This assertion
is justified by what the New York
Times says will be the result if a decla-
ration is made in favor of free silver by
the Chicago convention. IF it is
DONE" it asks, what will be the con-
sequence? In our judgment-and we
have given definite facts to sustain
1.-THE result will be Overwhelming de-
feat. The Democratic party with a
free silver platform would be opposed,
first and necessarily by all Republi-
cans except the free silver men; sec
ond, by ali Democrats who believe that
free silver would bring ruin to bust
ness; third, by all bimetallists who be-
lieve that international bimetallism is
possible and that American free silver
would defeat it."
That such declaration would have
the result of uniting the gold men, ire
spectiVe of party, may be so, just as
we believe that the declaration of the
Republican party in favor Of gold and
against free silver will have the effect
to unite all the friends of silver, for
the ensuing presidential campaign,
under the Democratic standard That
it will bring defeat to the Democratic
party we do not believe.
Whether it bring defeat or whether
it bring victory, the Democratic ma
tional convention should declare for
the free coinage Of silver. It should
do this because it is the party Of the
people and ever fights for their in
terests; it should do this that the
people may have a chance to decide
the question that has been agitating
them for years; it should do this that
it may achieve victory and bring back
prosperity

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The San Francisco Examiner makes
a good suggestion regarding patrol
wagons in that city and which is
equally good for this city 1t is that
they be covered. 1t says that as a
form of entertainment for crowds on
the street the patrol wagon as it ex-
lists in that city is a great success at
present, but that in filing the ends it
should it is a failure and disgrace
Into these wagons, it says, exposed to
full view, are hustled innocent and
guilty, men and women, the injured
and the dying. A street accident may
happen at any time and the victim
may be the proudest citizen in the com
munity, still he is hustled into a pa
troll wagon, where the curious may
gaze at him and wonder whether he
is a burglar or a murderer.
The picture is drawn full as dark
as the case will warrant, and darker
than it would warrant in this city.
The foundation of the Examiners COM
plant is the fact that San Francisco
has but one ambulance while the pa
troll wagons are constantly being used
for ambulance purposes. An easy solu-
ton of the matter in our own city
would be to have an ambulance wagon.
kept at the police Headquarters and
hitch the patrol wagon to it when there
is an accident requiring an ambulance.
Regard for the physical condition Of
the injured would suggest that this
be done as well as regard to his feel
ings. A patrol wagon is not fit to be
used as an ambulance, but if it is it
should be covered

CANDIDATES. WIVES.

No doubt the gentle reader of news
papers does get a surfeit of dreary
items about the wives of men who are
prominent in politics; this is particu-
larry so when the men become candi-
dates for offices in which the whole ma
ton is interested. Just now Mrs.
Carrot A. Hobart, wife of the Republi-
can candidate for vice-president, is en-
joying a newspaper notoriety much
greater than Mrs. McKinley's. The
Atchison Globe comments on it as fol-
lows:
According to the dispatches, Mrs
Hobart Is of the right height, the right
weight, and carries herself gracefully,
She adores politics, loves society, knows
that Mrs. Mckinley must be sweet
character, and has made all prepara-
ton for fame by having her picture
taken with her dress cut low in the
neck. She also piled all the palms and
cushions into one room, and had a
picture of that room taken, in readi-
ness for this emergency. We have
read so much about Mrs. Hobart
sweet home life that we are prepared
to see in Hobart a man with no but
tons on his clothes.''

INTENT OF THE DEMONSTRATION.

The Logan Republican sees the re-
suit of the action of Senator Cannon
and Representative Allen in it's true
light. 1t thinks that when those gen
tlemen saw fit to bolt the st. Louis
convention they severed their relations
with the Republican party. The gen.
tlemen who bolted may dislike to meet
the full consequences of their act.
and such dislike is but natural; still it
does not alter the facts in the case.
Speaking OF the demonstrations in
favor of the boilers, the Republican
says:
If the Cannon and Allen demonstra-
tons are intended simply as an ex-
preston of goodwill for faithful ser
vices performed at Washington we
have nothing to say, but if they are
intended as an approval Of their act in
boiling the convention, in severing
their party ties and for coquetting
with the Populist and Prohibitionists,
then we are opposed to them, especi-
ally so while we remain Republicans
and they are not.
It is strange that the Republican
should doubt for single moment
what the intent of the demonstrations
was. It was approval of the action
of Messrs. Cannon and Allen in bolt
ing. Their services in congress never
once came into the minds of those who
participated in the demonstration
The Republican has nothing left to do
but to disprove them.

THE ~THREAT. OF FREE SILVER.

has decided on a curtailment of pro-
duction, the purpose being, it
is said, to forestall any action look

old Republican condition of affairs.
Formerly such action was taken be-
cause of Democratic threat of
free trade, and the poor silly fools
upon whose weak minds it was intend

scared into doing their masters bid

PARTY BELIEFS.
The Pittsburg Dispatch says:

The Pittsburg Dispatch says:
The beliefs Of the majority are the
beliefs of the party and those of the
minority who cannot accept those
principles should leave the party and
Join that with which they are in sym
pathy. For this reason the Democrats
of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are to be
applauded for making no concessions
to a foreign sentiment. The party lines
must be redrawn upon the great public
issues so the voters will be in sympathy
with their leaders.
If this were not the case there could
be no party beliefs. It is perfectly
competent for a party (Which means a
majority of the party to adopt new
doctrines or modify old ones. The
founders of party have no greater

very often overlooked. The gold men
in the Democratic party talk about

Such talk is mere nonsense. If the
silver men are IN control at Chicago
and they certainly will be, they will
have as much right to pledge the party

jority at ST. Louis had to pledge the
Republican party to the gold standard

inlrnobile things and could not meet
issues as they arose they would very
soon fatl into disuse and decay. One
of the chief, if not the chiefest, pur-
poses CT national conventions, is 10
national issues. Four years ago there
was no great issue over the question
of free silver. this year there is. Be
cause there was no issue of this kind
four years ago is that a reason why
the Democratic party should not define
its position upon it this year?

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

The delegates to the Democratic con-
vention are elected as Democrats. SEN
ator Teller is not, and never has been.
The delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton would have no right to even con-
slider him. Senator Teller is an advo-
vate of a protective tariff. Some of the
state delegations will be instructed for
gold and others for silver, but all will
be chosen by states that adopt plat
forms favoring tariff for revenue only.
So far as we know there has been no
exception to this rule, and there is no
probability that there will be. Under the
circumstances the convention could not
nominate Senator Teller unless the dele
gates betrayed their constituents
