COOPERATION IMPOSSIBLE.

The rasping, inharmonious conditions
prevailing at the Republican ratifica-
ton meeting Friday evening demon
strated the impracticability of the plan
of cooperation between the two wings
of the party
Is It not absurd to assume that two
factions can work tremendously in
campaign when they cannot get to-
gether in a public meeting without
jeering at each other? How is there
to be any effective cooperation when
the parties entertain such conflicting
sentiments?
For two such factions to be yoked
together effectively, it would be neces-
sary for each to avoid any reference
to its distinctive views. In this case
the silver men would be obliged to
refrain from free coinage utterances
and the Mckinley men would have to
desist from expression of their belief
that the tariff is the paramount issue
That is utterly impossible. You
might as well expect Senator Cannon
to abiure his belief in the principle
OF bimetallism as to expect him TO re-
fraln from giving voice to it; you might
as well expect Governor Thomas to re-
nounce his allegiance TO the bleating
hocks as to look for him to des.st from
hurting protection figures at any audi
ence before which he appears.
The silver men know that, if their
allies could be given free rein, there
would be no Bryan majority in Utah,
and the Mckinley men know that their
favorite is to be buried deep by the
men with whom they are seeking to
affiliate politically. Each side knows
that its aspirations are in conflict with
those of the other. each knows that it
is contradictory to agree to differ as TO
the head of the ticket and as to the
principle for which he stands. and at
the same time to join hands on minor
candidates. These lesser candidates are
the subordinates supporting the leader
of the army. and each side will struggle
to the last to see that those are chosen
who are true to its particular comman-
der-in-chief
There is no reasonable man who, If
ne examines the subject carefully and
expresses himself candidiy, will not
agree to this proposition-that, If the
financial problem is to be settled by
men of all parties setting aside their
views on other questions and uniting
in this work, the union must be perfect
while it lasts and that the suDordina-
ton of other issues must be complete
for the time being. Nothing can be
accomplished by an efrort TO settle TIE
silver question if all the other ques-
lions are to be INTERCEPTED TO divide ard
distract those who are engaged IN the
campaign.
If the tariff issue is to be set aside
IN supporting Bryan, then it must be
likewise set aside il support of all
other candidates; if the Silver Repub-
licaus are to do really effective work
for free coinage under the programme
that contemplates RELOCATING the tariff
10 the rear so far as the presidential
contest Is concerned, they cannot co.
operate with that wing Of their party
which holds that the tariff is of equal
or greater Importance and that will

LINCOLN AND BRYAN.


The Chicago Dispatch makes this re-
mark: THE New York Herald has
great contempt for W. ]. Bryan, but it
has as yet said nothing as bitter about
Bryan as it said about Lincoln in 1861
Those who are too young to remem-
Der the campaign of 1860, and who
have not studied its details, will find
difficulty in believing that eastern pa
pers could have attacked the great
emancipation as bitterly as they at
tack the western candidate OF today,
but such is the fact Lincoln's own
party leaders in the east distrusted him
and the organs of the opposition poured
out torrents of abuse and ridicule upon
him. He was cordially hated, and even
after his election he was mercilessly
.ampooned. Remembering this, The
chorus of abuse OF Bryan will not ap-
pear to the reader to be so danger
one.
And in this connection it is Interest,"
ing to reflect that there are many
points of similarity between the careers
and experiences of Lincoln and Bryan.
Both came from the far west Illinois
was near the frontier when Lincoln
was nominated. while Bryan's home is
farther toward the setting sun than
that of any other presidential card.-
date in the history of the country.
Lincoln came into prominence az a
national Character through his debates
with Douglas. In that campaign he
was candidate for the United States
senate. He lost the senatorship. bur
won the White House two years later.
Two years ago Bryan retired from con
gress and made contest for seat IN
the senate. He was defeated, but today
he is the candidate OF his party for
the presidency.
When the Republican convention
met in 1860 the leaders had no idea that
Lincoln would be nominated. Seward
was, the commanding figure before the
gathering. and it was confidently be-
lieved he would be chosen: but the
Illinois rail splitter" carried off the
prize because he SO distinctly per-

HOW TRUSTS KILL ENTERPRISES.

There isn't person in Utah who
isn't glad that we have sugar fac
tory at Lehi. There isn't person in
Utah who wouldn't be glad to have
sugar factories in other parts of the
state. It is an industry peculiarly
suited to our soil and climate And it
is profitable industry. Considering
all this. it is proper to consider why
there are not more sugar factories in
Utah.
Yesterday we heard why there is not
at least one more factory. A prcmi-
nent business man, but not of Salt
Lake City. approached a number of
gentlemen of large means on the sub
ject of establishing another sugar fac
tory, he himself being perfectly willing
20 put good many thousand dollars
into the venture. 1t was shown that
new factory could be erected at a
much less cost than that of the one at
Lehi. 1t was also shown that the re-
turn on that capital would be satis-

from the state or the nation.

scheme and those to whom it was pro-
posed are amply Able to carry out the
scheme. Then why did they hesitate?
They hesitated to make the venture
simply because they feared that if
another sugar factory were erected in
Utah that it would invite the deadly
hostility of the all-powerful Sugar
trust, with the consequence that not
only their own factory would be
crushed out. but that the factory at
Lehi would also meet the same fate.
That was their reason for hesitating
to venture their capital in another
sugar factory; nothing else.
Utah enterprise must be crushed out;
Utah's people must be held in partial
bondage all through fear of the deadly
hostility of trust with a capital of
more than seventy millions of dol
lars.
Is there not need that the antitrust
law be enforced?

IN NEBRASKA.

1t is generally conceded that Ne
braska will choose Bryan electors
though the Mckinley managers in that
state are putting up the fight of their
lives to carry it. Ex-senator A. S.
Paddock. of Nebraska, and who was
at one time member of the UTan conf
mission. was in Washington the other
day and to reporter of the Post of
that city said, speaking of the political
outlook in Nebraska:
The fight will be a close one, and it is
Impossible to foretell the result. If the
election had been held a few weeks ago
Mr. Bryan would have carried the state,
but the Republicans have been making
magnificent campaign, and now be-
lieve the state viii give Mckinley a
small majority. Whichever side wins
the margin will not be more than 5000.
If Mckinley carries Nebraska it will
be the result of the best fight made in
any state in the Union. Mr.. Bryan is
highly respected and has a great many
friends in his state outside of his party.
If Nebraska is carried for Mckinley it

been put into the campaign. | am out
of politics, and whatever say is simply
my personal opinion. Whatever loss the
Republicans sustain in Nebraska be-
lieve will be due to the unfortunate
declaration in the ST. Louis platform.
IL there had been a vigorous declaration
for himetdllism and an arrangement
of the present administration the situa-
ton would nave been different, but they
gave the Democrats the field.
When it is remembered what strong
partisan ex-senator Paddock is. his in
ferview may be regarded as an ac-
acknowledgement that Mr.. Bryan will
carry Nebraska 1t would really be
most remarkable thing if he did not.

ley's chances are growing beautifully

Tom Watson is still maneuvering
against Bryan. He must know by this
time that the people regard his nom

to get out of the way if he is honest
in his support of free coinage. Know

charge of dishonesty when he persists
in hanging on and in issuing appeals
designed to lead Populists away from
support of the free coinage candidate.

THE "MENACE- TO THE SUPREME
COURT.

From the Mckinley press Archbishop
ireland is receiving great praise for
his political letter 1t was a very good
letter from the point of view of the Re-
publicans and the gold standard ad-
vocates. But the praise the archbishop
is receiving for it is somewhat fulsome.
He is particularly lauded for what he
had to say about that portion of the
Chicago platform which refers to the
supreme court. Thus the Boston Jour
nal says that ''in the menace against
the supreme court contained in the
platform the archbishop sees threat
of the destruction of the social order"
And he sees that which does not ex-
ist.
To all those who see this menace in
the Chicago platform we would recon-
mend a close and careful perusal of
what Oliver P. Morton said about the
supreme court. His words are from
the Indianapolis Journal of June 10,
1860.
1.-THE Democracy" said he, 'has great
newborn zeal for decisions of the su-
preme court, and will even indorse
extra judicial ones, and is quite ready
to guarantee any that may be made
in future. Well, it was not always so.
The supreme court once decided the
alien and sedition law constitutional.
Mr. Jefferson said it was not, and beat
down the supreme court and it's de-
cision, and was elected president. This
same supreme court twice decided a
United States bank constitutional. Cen
.eral Jackson said it was not; the gen.
eral put down the bank and its two
decisions, and the Democracy said
Jefferson was right and Jackson was
right, and repudiated the court. No
sooner, however. does this same court
give political opinion in favor of the
pet principle of Democracy, the mig
ger, than the Democracy cry out, Great
is the supreme court-when it decides
all must bow
Morton's words of 1860 are peculiarly
applicable to those who are in this
campaign so terribly Mortified, or who
pretend to be, over the declaration of
the Chicago platform on the income tax
decision. The declaration is just
right.

In his speech in Cooper Union last
evening, Governor Altgeld completely
disposed of the charge that he re-
fused or was unwilling to protect prop
erty and preserve order in Chicago
during the great railway strike. His
language on the subject is so emphatic
that everyone must see that he is
squarely on the side of law and order.
The fact is that he was not called
upon for assistance by the local au-
thorities. 1t is upon them that the
charge of failure to perform their duty
rests; while the national administra-
ton made itself party to the con-
spiracy to march in federal troops over
the head of the state government. In
his haste to put forth the arm of fed
eral power, the president failed to in
form himself of the fact that the gov
ernor had not been called upon for aid.
Decent respect for state authority
would have induced him to exercise
care, and the spectacle of a powerful
state government being ignored would
not have been witnessed.
