a complete and harmonious fusion be-
tween the Democrats. Populists and
silver Republicans exists, rendering
them certain for Bryan. For the same
reason he classes as doubtful the
states of Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin and
claims for Bryan the electoral vote of
Illinois Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky,
Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota
and West Virginia, all of which were
claimed for Mckinley by Mr.. Quay.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-03-29

Inasmuch as the year 1896 ushers in
another presidential campaign-and
this campaign perhaps the most nota-
BILE Of which history has ever recorded,
dealing, as it will, with the funda-
mental principles Of self-government,
that of the financial question: is not
inopportune for all classes of voters of
the inter-mountain region, as we'll as
young men who are just arriving at
their majorities. and also those who
have enjoyed the right OF suffrage but
a limited period, to begin to consider, in
the light Of previous political history.
what action may be expedient to
achieve the results desired not only
for the benefit Of our great west (west
from the Mississippi to the Pacific, and
south to the gulf, but to the masses
of the people of this republic.
Very frequently the uppermost
thought of a young voter is a desire to
be identified with that party which
achieves signal victories in the locality
in which he may happen to reside, and
it may be asserted truthfuliy that this
is too often the case for the benefit of
society. This is not conductive to the
perpetuation of a government by the
people, but tends to the degradation
of those principles enunciated by many
patriotic and illustrious characters
who have been instrumental in the up
building of this great nation.
In the impending struggle for con-
troll of the national government there
will, in all probability, be four factions,
all striving for the same ultimate OBJ
5ect-that of the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
Of approximately, is to l.
The purpose of this article is not
an appeal for the reinstatement of the
white metal to the place it occupied
prior to 1S73-for l take it that nearly
all. of the qualified electors of this sec
ton of the country are of one opinion
as regards this great question. except,
perhaps, a coterie of politicians who de-
sire nothing but the emoluments of of
flee, regardless through what source
they may come, and caring less for the
upbuilding and continuation of nation
al or local prosperity-but to consider
the best method of attaining that
which is to the benefit of the masses.
At this time indications point strong
" TO the formation of a new party lin
the event of both old parties refusing
TO take up this issue with a single
plank in its platform, that of unlimited
free coinage of both gold and silver at
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-03-29

all communications through other
channels, is that the two old parties,
as now constituted. will refuse to in
corporate in their platforms anything
favoring silver, be it ever so remote,
as the gold standard men realize that
forever silence the issue, and their
emisSarieS are advising divers plans
(but the plans, be it understood, are
subtle in the abstract, and tend to
separate rather than solidify) such, for
instance, as advising all silver men
of all parties to be loyal to their par
ties and wage the battle upon that
line. This advice, if applied, cannot
mean anything more than a repetition
of the single standard dodge of
1892, and makes doubly sure the defeat
OF the movement of reconciliation.
SENATOR JONES' POSITION.
1t may be of interest. and also in
support of the position assumed by
this article, to quote from the commu-
nication of Senator John P Jones of
Nevada to Enoch Strother. chairman
of the Republican state central COM
mittee of the above state, dated Aug
ust 30, 1894, with regard to the two
old parties taking up the question of
free coinage. He says:
Il am firmly convinced that there is
lIo prospect OIL Ieilel from elmer OF
the old parties, as such, and least of
all, 1 regret to say. from the Republic
can party
The above statement may appear
broad and far-rea ching, but until such
time as either or both of the old par
ties prove this assertion to be unfound-
ed, we certainly are compelled to give
1t large amount of credence, not only
from the fact that it now appears cor
roo but oil 20
in harmony with the very recent &C
ton of our national legislature. The
condition of affairs is also Interesting
" men we CT .slder that the United
States senate (representings the states)
passed a free c mage substitute, ard
thu United States house of represeu-
tatives representing the people of the
same states overwhelmingly defeated
the same substitute.
One reason, perhaps, for the assump-
ton that the two old parties, as now
constituted, will not give relief in our
monetary affairs, is the fact that the
machinery of both parties is located
ON the Atlantic s,eaboard, where is to
be found also the machinery of all
trusts, corporations, pools, associations
and the magnets or guiding spirits of
the vast modified wealth which they
represent, and it is a fact which cam
hot be disputed that all of these ag-
gregations have their representatives
III congress. and they (the representa-
tives of this wealthy Of course, being
opposed to the expansion of our mon
etary system, there cannot be, under
the present regime, the shadow of a
possibility for the passage of a free
silver bill, as has been noted. And,
peradventure, should congress, by an
accident premeditated or otherwise,
pass such a bill at any time prior to
March 4, 1897, the well known ideas
of our present chief executive would
prevent the bill becoming a law-and
with the advent of a Republican presi-
dent after the above date, the status
of affairs will undoubtedly remain I'M
