On Friday last, in the United States
Sc nate, the two Senators from the new
State of Utah, Messrs. f. j. Cannon
and Arthur Brown, presented them
selves at the Speakers desk, and took
the oath of office. Our Republican
friends in Utah are in the same boat
with many Republicans and Reform
ers here in our own State-they are not
satisfied with the selections which
their party has made. The Tribune,
the leading Republican paper, on the
morning after the caucus that selected
Brown, had this to say: ''Mr. Brown
deserves nothing from the Republican
party. He is not of the stuff that the
deal Senator is made of. He has
hone of the qualities that are looked
or in the incumbent of that high and
llustrious position, but many that one
would suppose should forbid any one
thinking of him in that connection.
The caucus action as to him can only
be explained on the theory that sud-
en- madness overlook the members
nd in their frenzy they rocked not of
consequences. His election will mean
othing good for Republicanism local
y. 1t will signify nothing for Utah
efore the Nation"
The Rev. M. Iliff, at the head of the
Methodist Mission, protests against the
election of such men as Brown, and
6ys: "As citizen, and always a Re-
ublican, up to date, protest against
be selection of Arthur Brown and his
ind to represent Utah in the United
tates Senate. These Legislators are
ut the servants Of the people, and if
hey wish now to voice the sentiment

lty Of the hour" repent and do the

On SHOULD the people see to it that

ty to repeat the folly and shame.

We consider Mr.. Governs selection as
President, at this particular juncture,
most fortunate and wise step, as his
former long connection with the legal
department of the road, which brought
him in direct contact with its
business interests, has made him
familiar with the workings of it's va

great service to him in the future.

To the Editor Of the World: The
value of silver and gold as mediums of
exchange is dependent upon the fat Of
the people, and while II does not follow
that wealth is thereby created, yet it is
a fact that increase in the volume of ex-
changeable money has a reviving ef-
feet upon business.
Immediately after the government es-
tablishes free coinage at 16 to the
price OF silver would at once jump to
that figure, and II, as We are told, sill
yer would pour in upon us from all
parts Of the world for coinage at our
minis, why let II come on, for the re-
suit would be that as they could not ex-
change It for gold they would have to
pay 1t out for our commodities or use
1t for other purposes in this country,
which would be beneficial to us. There
would be no such thing as a 50-cent

To the Editor of the World: From

We have in this country about one me-

Free Coinage would Help.

To the Editor Of the World: In grant
ing that the free coinage Of silver
would help the farmer by raising the
price Of his wheat, corn, cotton, hay,
pork, beef, chickens, eggs, butter, po-
tatces, etc, you have in fact pointed
out the red string which leads to the
solution of the whole question.
The farmers and agricultural work
srs are the backbone Of the country,
being in vast majority Of all the other
producers Of wealth.
By raising the prices OF farm prod
ucts the farmers would be benefited d.
rectly, thereby enabling them to pay
higher wages to their help.
This would again have a tendency
to increase the wages Of '1aborers, me-
.hanics and artisans" in two ways:
l. Being more money in agricultural
work, a great part Of the oversupply OF
-laborers, mechanics and artisans" that
depend solely upon the wages they
cannot get a chance to earn in the cit
les will turn to agricultural pursuits.
2. The laborers, mechanics and arti-
sans left in the cities will get higher
wages by an increased demand for their
products from their fellow-workers on
the farms, and also by having steady
work be more able to meet their gro
,ers' and butchers bills than they are
now with farm products cheap, but
work only for half the time.

Now that Mr.. Bryan expects to live

his words from the editorial page Of

Ex-Presidents ought to take care Of
