About Coercion and Bribery.
Again has Laramie been invaded by
popocratic takers from a silver state.
Judge H. W. knight and R. ". Sloan
had been advertised to speak, Blu hen
Knight came to be introduce. 80 ne
turned out to be King. He was a man
Of such prominence in Utah that his
name had not reached the democracy
of Wyoming. He was introduced by
w. H. Holiday. who said that he con
sidered him a safe adviser. Mr.. Holli-
day took occasion to remark that it
had become the policy of the money
power and the manufacturers to give
their men only half time. He did not
give any eason for this. however, and
failed to state that this policy did not
prevail anywhere in the United States
at the time the republican party had
control of the government in 1892. It
has only become necessary to reduce
forces and hours since the party which
Mr.. Holiday belongs to and 50 ardent
ly supported in 1892 and 1894 came in
to power in the nation.
Mr.. King opened by saying that he
was like the preacher who lost his ser.
mon, but before he got through every
body concluded that he must have
found a longer one. for he sawed away
for an hour and a half, denouncing the
money power, the manufacturers, the
railroads. the banks. and everybody
else who had anything to do with cor
porations or had ever accumulated a
dollar in money. His remarks were
calculated to make Holiday squtrm oc,
casionally. as he is the head of the
largest local corporation and the great
est monopoly in the city. but he took
his medicine and tried to look uncon-
cerned.
Mr.. King said the wealth Of the ma
ton had organized and therefore labor
should have the same right. He EVIL
IDENTIFY has not heard of the great labor
organizations from one end of the con-
tinent to the other. Perhaps those or,
CARNATIONS are not tolerated by the
Mormon church. The speaker thought
a proper civilization would finally bring
us to the condition outlined in Bell
amy's Looking Backward" He said
there had never been a financial meas,
ure enacted in the interest Of the lab,
oring lei He might have carried his
argument a little further and stated
that there eve was a financial law
passed in the interests of any particu-
lar class Of people. Congress has usu-
ally tried to enact laws for all the peo-
pie. not for particular classes. On
some occasions. we will admit, legisla-
ton has sRvored of discrimination in
favor Of the silver mine owaere, and
against the people in general, but it
was doubtlessly honestly enacted. The
duty OF the working man was to find
out what the railroads wanted, what
the bankers wanted, what the manu-
faturers wanted, what the corporations
and moneyed men in general wanted,
and then go and work and vote the
other way. In other words, by wreck
ing the railroads, manufacturers and
moneyed men in general who are CIV
ing them employment the laboring man
may become prosperous. What rot.
The logical conclusion of this argument
is that III Mr.. Holidays business could
be ruined his employees would be great
ly benefited thereby. But Mr.. King did
not come to any such conclusion. The
conclusion he arrived at was that II you
were not for Bryan you must be for
Mckinley. He is doubtless right about
that.
He said that the democratic party
had not been true to its pledges in the
past. but the old. leaders had been fred
out and in the future with Tillman.

Mr.. King hAdEbettsr left his name
Knight, for his auditors were in dark
ness when he got through.
The chairman OF the meeting then
introduced r. w, Sloan, q merchant OF
Salt Lake. who was a funny cuss. and
as he entertained the audience with
his comical dialect stories and ludi-
crous contortims. ne reminded one OF
the Brownies moro than snything else.
