gardless of what may have been said
or done in the past
Respectfully yours.
p. NJ. ARTHUR.
He does not pretend that he was not
which was read to him contained. nor
that any imposition was practised upon
him. He says he understood at the
time it was to be presented TO congress
asking the enactment of laws in the
interest of labor. That is what the
other signers understood, and for that
very reason it was that they signed it.
To this letter of Arthurs John Nc
Bride makes reply as follows:
To the Editor of the Pittsburg Post:
Chicago, Oct. THE proclama-
ton setting forth labor's demands for
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio OF 16 to 1 and signed by
Sovereign, Hayes, Debs, Mcbride,
Robinson. Gompers, Arthur, Sargent,
Arnold, Butler, Trenor and Mcclure
was circulated by James B. Lehigh,
secretary of the Montana free coinage
association, who obtained the sigma
lures it contains and had it presented
TO congress, as per Congressional Re
cord, February 6, 1895. l signed the
petition knowing what it contained,
and Mr.. Lehigh tells me that the
others had full knowledge of its con-
tents before signing, and l believe they
had.
1t is certainly late in the day for
Messrs. Arnold and Arthur to plead the
baby act, and this they do when adj
hitting they signed it without a full
knowledge of its contents. They will
not assert that their signatures are
forged, and if genuine something other
than the petition which they signed is
responsible for their changed opinion
as to the merits of free coinage.
JOHN M'BRIDE.
Unquestionably it is as Legitimate to
use Mr.. Arthurs letter for campaign
purposes as the petition which he
signed. but the two together will act
upon his influence as an upper and a
neither milestone.

one member from Utah may easily be
placed in a position where he will be
able to decide the fate of a free coin
. age measure, or of other measures
bearing upon the problem. 1t is of the
highest Importance that Utah choose a
Democrat for the position, man who
will al all times be in sympathy with
the silver Democracy in congress and
with the Democratic administration. To
do otherwise would be disloyaIty to the
silver cause on the part of the state.
There are Republicans who take this
view of the situation and who intend
to vote the Democratic ticket in the
interest of consistency; but what en-
couragement is there for such when
our own people enter into a miserable
factional contest that threatens to
sacrifice an entire county delegation?
When Democrats indulge in such a
contest, how are Democrats to ask
Republicans to come over to them 10
assure The election of a senator who
will certa my be in sympathy with a
free coinage administration?
It must be apparent to our Cache
friends that they have put themselves
in a false position. They certainly
must see that the regularly nominated
Democratic ticket, being entirely
worthy of their votes, is entitled to
their united support They certainly
have at heart the interests of the
party. the interests of the state and
the interests of the cause of free coin
age, and they cannot fail to see that
it is their duty to repudiate The dam
gerous movement into which they
have permitted themselves to be lured.

GORAHAN's CAMPAIGN.

VIII Mr.. Germans appeal for votes
Tor Mr. Bryan in Maryland, on the
score of the regularity of the candi-
date, have any effect on those Demo-
! Gratis who are not in sympathy with
the Chicago platform? In reality, that
| IS the only ground on which the ap-
| peal is made. Mr.. German is not in
favor of free silver, and surely the
man responsible for the senate's
] amendments to the Wilson tariff bill
cannot be an enemy of trusts. But. as
! the creator and preserver and manipu-
lator of a political machine. the Mary
land senator knows the value of reg
udarity." and so harps on that string
/ Washington Star
| The attack on German because he
has seen fit TO appeal to Democratic
voters TO remember that the Chicago
ticket is regular is not likely to have
any effect upon the result If there
were no other ground upon which to
ask for votes, the appeal might be con
strued as an evidence Of weakness:
but it is perfeetly proper to remind
voters that the candidate and the prin-
ciDles for which their votes are sole
tied are regular; and it is particularly
appropriate in a state like Maryland
where the people are not so generally
! informed upon the principles involved
There are multitudes OF voters in
Maryland to whom the issue is com
paratively new and who do not pro-
TESS TO be fully informed respecting It.
Under these circumstances it is most
timely to remind them that the Chi
cago candidates and platform are regu-
lar in every respect; that they were
placed before the country by the de-
hberate action of the convention: that
they represent the carefully matured
Judgment of the party, and that dhey
are entitled to support as against
ticket that is confessedly irregular in
every particular.
But a significant para graph in the
extract from the Star is that which
states that German is not in favor Of
free silver and that he is not an enemy
of trusts. Yet he is supporting ticket
that stands at once for free silver and
for opposition to trusts, and he is ad-
vising the people of the state TO follow
his example. If there is any reason TO
advice. it must arise from a SUPPOSE
ton that the voters are opposed to free
coinage and in favor of trusts. 1t is
quite fortunate to have the two issues
so connected. If it were granted that
the Stars statement of Germans posi-
ton was correct, it would not follow
that the people of Maryland held the
same views. 1t may be taken for
granted that a very large majority OF
them are opposed to trusts; and those
who may be in doubt on the financial
issue will find, in Bryan's opposition
TO such combinations, ample reason
for voting for him. In the meantime.
it is proper for Senator German to re-
mind voters of the regularity of the
ticket, thus putting them on guard
against the boilers who are seeking
their SURFACES under false colors.

vAlNLY TALM1NG TARIFFS,

Mark Hanna, with an appearance OF
serenity, informs the public that the
Repr plican speakers are now talking
tariff in all sections. Let US see. If
the Republicans had made such Won
derful Roadway as they claim by talk
ing sound money" they would not
desire to make any change at this
la e day. The fact that they have en-
deavored to shift, as shown by the
statement of their own chairman, dis
closes their weakness. They have
found themselves losing instead of
gaining and are trying to stop the
flood by throwing in any kind of ma
teria' that is at hand. Their sound
money timber has all been washed
away; the breach is hourly widening
and there is nothing left to do but
dump the tariff into the chasm to
make a showing of activity.
The Republicans sought at the open
ing of the campaign to push the tariff
into the front place, but they were
Obliged to face the issue that had
forced itself into the lead. Reintroduc-
ton of the tariff now clearly shows
that the sound money campaign has
failed But the change cannot benefit
them. They cannot win vote with
tariff even if all their speakers de-
vote themselves to the subject from
now until the dav of election.

CHIEF ARrHuR,s, POSITION.


Chief Arthur. Of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, is being patted
on the back by the goldbug press be-
cause he has come out against free
silver and in favor Of Mckinley.
Chief Arthur has won and deserved
the respect of the order at the head of
which he stands, and in troublous
times in the past he has served it we'll
and wisely. He has always been con-
servative and has ever advised against
precipitate action. On this account it
is rather to be regretted that he has
now decided to take an active part in
this campaign.
It appears that a circular was gotten
out which was part of a petition that
was presented to congress about a
year ago. The petition was in favor of
free silver and was signed by Arthur
and other labor leaders. This circular
was sent to Arthur that he might say
whether or not it was authentic. He
replied as follows:
Office of the Grand international
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
Cleveland, Ohio, oct. 5, 1885.
n. 3. Scott, Republican National Com
mittee, New York.
Dear Sir:-Your esteemed favor with

With care. That there may be no 1nis-
understanding concerning my attitude

ing from an individual. not as the
executive officer of the B. of L. 2.

gentleman called upon Mr.. Sargent

Gently been received will increase pop

played by the doomed men. When the
vessel was on the point of going to
pieces. the captain raised his cap to

story parallels that of the behavior Of

IDAHO MINES.


Every business man realizes that
the prosperity Of this city depends
upon the development of the tributary
territory. 1t is therefore of great in
terest to learn that the mines of Idaho
are making such splendid showing.
The Herald has recently published the
official figures of the output of the
Trade Dollar at Silver City, showing
that the mine paid a dividend for Sep
TENDER of $4,000. That property has
been paying we'll for some three years
and the present production shows that
the faith of those who have chung to
the Owyhee mines has not been mis-
placed. Nor is the Trade Dollar the
only mine there that is paying. Others
are doing remarkably we'll and new
enterprises are being pushed with
gratifying results.
That is wonderful camp. 1t made
famous record in the early days, but
in recent years it has not attracted
much attention. 1t has lately been
demonstrated, however, that it's riches
were only scratched on the surface by
the early miners and that the district
is capable of enormous production.
New mills are going in there and the
demand for facilities for transporta-
ton for ore and supplies is such that
a railroad is being constructed to
connect the camp with the Short Line.
Other districts in that vicinity are
also developing most satisfactorily,
and we may expect to hear more of
Idaho mines in the future than for
many years in the past.
This is all a matter of Importance
to the business men of Salt Lake, and
our people viii only consult their
own interests by encouraging the de-
velopment of that section.
