erect said chat God Almighty had
made mistake when he put silver in
these hills.
1t would be no use for the Mckinley
Republicans to hold a convention and
send out the news to the world that
they, the Simon pure Republicans, had
nominated Mckinley electors for these
electors would receive only one vote
out of every FIVE of the Republicans of
Utah.
After November we will have lots of
people hedging and when Bryan is
elected they will say they knew all the
time Bryan was all right, and that
with him in the White house the coun-
try would be safe.
In the east they are rejoicing over
the result of the election in Vermont
and they say let the campaign of edu-
cation go west. Why can't the educa-
ton go from west to east? They need
missionaries more than any barbarOus
nation on the earth. They are barbar-
Gus in their thoughts, said the speaker,
and in their utterances as seen in the
press of the east.
The judge here referred to the tribute
paid by the United States to England
of $500. 900 every year in the shape
of interest and to the crime which
brought about such a state OF affairs.
The prosperity enjoyed by Mexico was
owing largely to the plentifulness of
money brought about by the free coin
age of silver in that country.
Judge Goodwin considered It was his
duty and the duty of every man and
woman to do their utmost to secure
the election Of that young giant from
Nebraska. The electoral vote should
be in Utah unanimous. 1t will make
the people of the east investigate and if
they do they will never vote for a gold
man again. To elect Mckinley would
be a greater mistake than was the cleo
ton of Cleveland four years ago.
There was a Minerva behind Bryan
when the Chicago platform was adopt
ed and the godaess when Bryan makes
his speeches strengthens his voice and
swells the sound of his trumpet.
HON. c. S. VARIAN.
The Hon. c. S. varian made the
speech of the evening. In substance
he said:
Yesterday and day before was asked
by some of my Mckinley Republican
friends to speak on the lines of peace
and harmony. L made no answer, but [
concluded to speak, declaring why l can
not in any way lend my sanction to any
movement looking toward the success of
the Mckinley ticket
There are many interested in the wool
industry in this state and they are quite

low an ebb as an industry that 1 do not
see why they should wish to cling to it.
If we can make our Republican
friends interested in wool see that the
tariff is but a secondary question we can
march to victory that will benefit not
them alone but the whole nation.
If you take away the money of a ma
ton, depriving the nations industries of
sufficient money, you simply make it i'm
possible to employ the labor of the coun-
try and your tariff is simply a monu-
mental mark of idiotic Legislation.
You can't pass a law this year declar
ing that the volume of money shall be
so much and fix the same volume for
time to come. AS the population and bus
mess increases the demand for money in
creases. We need more money now than
we did ten years ago, and we will need
still more ten years from now. AS you
make the money scarcer 1t becomes
dearer and 1t takes more commodities
wheat, cotton, labor-to pay for the nee
essaries of life.
The people of the United States have
paid the national debt five times in
wheat. seven times in cotton, and still
owe as much as ever.
Such a course means steadily going
down debaSement and degradation Such
are the lessons of history of all nations.
England is pointed out as a model,
rich and prosperous nation.
How many of her people are prosper
Gus? Very few. The land is passing into
the hands of a few. The great laboring
class has become or is fast becoming
paupers. In that great book, 'In Dark
est Africa" General Booth tells of how
over 100000 Of England's population have
become so reduced that they do not know
one day how they will exist the next.
These are facts established by the inves-
tigaton of man who has made it a close
study.
Starvation stares in the face many of
orr own people all over the country.
Mills are stopping, banks are closing
and factories are shutting down. The
wealthy trust owners that tell you we
have plenty of money are not only break
ing up industries and markets, but they
are breaking up homes.
Now. you men of the sheep plantation,
under such conditions who will buy your
wool? Not the poor beggars. 1t must be
pioyed--a class that is fast disappearing.
The men at Indianapolis and those such.
as form the close advisory committee

Great applause).
He closed his strong speech by "a quo
tation from Mrs. Browning's pathetic
poem describing the pitiable condition
of the children living under such condi-
tons as those fast being forced upon
iris country by the gold standard
Hearty and long continued applause
was given Mr. Varian at the close OF
his address.
The ladies quartette here favored the
audience with another very pretty Sc
lection very sweetly rendered, after
which Chairman Allen called on Sena or
10 of
ing.
SENATOR CANNON.
Mr.. Cannon, who was Eeceived with
cheers, gave short address, in the
course of which he remarked that when
Utah entered the Union she gave her
pledge that her influence would be used
for the uplifting of humanity, and he.
for one, would help TO discharge that
pledge by voting for William ]. Bryan.
A few men and a few ladies here who
had said they would stand by McKin
ley should remember the pledges they
gave 60 tine people of Utah year ago
to labor for the free coinage of silver.
If the Democratic party had adopted
a platform like the Republican one, all
of those Mckinley men and women
would have been going up and down in
the land proclaiming Democratic per-
fidy. The name of Republican is not
as sacred as the truth. ana we must be
true and vote for Bryan and silver.
The people last year saw fit to en-
trust the affairs of the state to the Re
pubhcans, but the people of Utah will
cling this year, as always, to the rod
of truth and show that mere names
count for nothing. The speaker warned
every one who votes for Mckinley that
he was approving the monetary sys-
