NO MORE PARTY sERvITuDE.

The manner i'm which Mr.. Bryan is
being greeted in his tour through the
states shows that something more than
idle curiosity impels the people to turn
out by the tens of thousands to hear
HIM It is indisputable evidence that
the people are doing a. great deal of
thinking, are searching for informa-
ton, with the ultimate object Of volt
ing to subserve their best interests.
Flagitious robbery and capitalisfic ag-
erosion have combined to awaken
popular intelligence, and the result of
this will be that the masses of the
people will go to the polls thoroughly
fortified against party prejudice, and
prepared to a man to vote an inteEi-
gent ballet Much of the evil of which
the people complain is the logical re-
suit of party servitude. Party lines
have so dominated public sentiment in
the past that people have incontinently
submitted to the most grevious wrongs
rather than dissolve the bonds of
affinity between themselves and their
party No one has benefited more by
this than the capitalistic element.
Capitalists, realizing the strength and
adhesive properties of party prejudice,
have, while the people were clinging
to imaginary principles, beat the TOM
toms with one hand and gone through
the peoples pockets with the other.
The result of this (and it is inevitably
is that while this farce comedy was
being rendered the few were rapidly
acquiring vast wealth and the many
were being slowly, yet surely, reduced
to poverty. But the end of party
slavery is at hand. 1t has had a long
reign, but it is over. The multitudes
that are giving audience TO Mr.. Bryan
bear testimony to a. well defined revo-
luton in public sentiment Rising
from the horizon is a storm which will
burst forth in November and sweep
away every symbol of monopolistic
sovereignty. The American people are
patient and tolerant, but when a public
wrong becomes impeditive, becomes
cumbrous and menacing, they rise with
unanimity and dispassionately but eff
fectively, stamp 1t out forever

AHLwARDTIsM NOT WANTED.

No great cause can keep itself free
from those who adhere to it from base
and selfish motives. In this respect
the silver cause is no more fortunate
than other causes. Herr Ahlwardt, the
German Jew-baiter who came to our
shores a year or SO ago, has seized upon
the silver cause as a preteXt to aid his
anti-Semitic crusade In a recent issue
of his paper he said:
There can be no doubt about what our
friends viii have to do and who they
should vote for in the ensuing cam
paign.
The anti-Semitic party has come into
existence and has grown to be the
choice of millions of people all over the
world on account of that one principle,
which governs the party's platform
from beginning to end:
Protection of the toiling, laboring
and producing classes against the non
producing money-jugglers.
The undisputed fact that the juggling
with the currency of the nations in all
parts OF the world is being manipulated
by Jewish bankers must be sufficient
to explain why the anti-Semitic party
should fight in line with those who are
trying to smash to pieces that wall of
gold which those banking concerns have
built up from the labor and the sweat
of the producing classes.
1t is our opinion that by restoring sill
YER as legal tender this nation will put
a stop to the present system Of robbery
by the Shylocks, which own the supply
and control the output of gold and, of
course, make the best of it. Like one
man, the Jews are out for gold. Cause
enough for US to stand UP for silver.
The Jews have made Mckinley their
tool We shall, with the rest of the
true Democrats. make Mr.. William j.
Bryan our leader in a fight for justice,
equity and for the true appreciation
of true labor and real intelligence
against usury and Hebraic principles
generally.
Mr.. Bryan and the friends of silver
do not want any support of that kind.
They are seeking to uplift all mankind
and not merely a portion of them; and
particularly do they object TO building
UP the cause, the common cause of all
the people, by attempting to trample
portion of them under foot. They re-
pudiate the doctrines of Herr Ahlwardt.
Nothing could be more anti-Democratic
and un-American than the very anti
Semitic principles that Herr Ahlwardt
advocates. There is not the remotest
connection in the world between the
principles of free silver and anti-Semit-
ism.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.


Nothing is likely to contribute more
to the cause of woman suffrage than
the taking of an active interest in
political campaigns by representatives
of that sex. One great obstacle in the
way of universal suffrage has been
fear ON the part of the masculine ele-
ment that only those women with a
designing purpose would avail them
selves of the opportunity to vote An
other and scarcely less potent objec-
ton was, that, for women to partici-
pate in political campaigns, meant the
obliteration of the nobler attributes
with which woman is endowed. The
man-woman is just as much a social
incubus as the woman-man. Both
sexes have their social sphere, and
radical departures by either would be
social involufion, if not moral retro
gression. But do these objections hold
good? So far as Utah is concerned it
must be admitted that they do not.
The women of Utah are not only par
ticipating in a large degree in the
pending campaign, but they are setting
an example that the more experienced
male contingent might we'll emulate
They are conducting a studious cam
paign, alienated entirely, or nearly so,
from the subject of office-holding, and
at the same time, they are jealousy
guarding and carefully pursuing that
line of demarcation which is irnmut-
ably fixed by social and moral juris-
prudence. Thus far they have ex-
hibiGed an interest, not in holding Of
flee, but in promoting good and whole
some principles. AS to what influence
they will exert in purifying the body
polite, that for the present must re-
main problematical, but it is safe to
assume that as they enlist one after
another in the interest Of moral, social
and industrial evolution, vote-buying-
ballot-box sruffing and kindred frauds
will be a thing of the past. Upon the
whole, if the women of Utah are but
a fair sample of women generally, the
day is not far off when sexual dis
elimination in this respect will be
completely removed.
