now TO RESCUE SILVER.


There, is but one real issue before the
American people this year: 1t is
whether they shall have the free coin
age of silver or not The Republican
party says they shall not have the free
coinage of silver without International
agreement. The Democratic uarty saws
they shall have free coinage of silver
without waiting for the consent of any
other nation. The people of the state
OF Utah. without distinction of party,
have declared in favor of the free and
independent coinage of silver by the
United States. If they attach that i'm
portance to silver which their plat
forms profess, they will vote for those
candidates for president and vice-presi-
dent of the United States who stand
upon a silver platform and are for
free silver. Those candidates are Bryan
and SewaH. The platforms of either of
the great national parties this year
have but one plank that in Importance
oVershadows all others and makes them
OF minor Importance. That plank is
the financial one.
Every sincere advocate of free silver
believes that the prosperity of the coun-
try was shipwrecked through the de-
monetization of silver, and that moth
ing win restore it permanently but its
reconciliation. Now. what difference
does it make what flag a ship flies that
rescues shipwrecked and drowning peo-
pie? When they are struggling with
the waves, is it a time 70 inquire what
flag the ship floats and what is the be-
lief of her captain and crew upon a
dozen disputed questions? If the ship
wrecked do not seize the opportunity
for rescue they will not have a chance
to discuss disputed questions. The port
of safety must be reached first of ALL
Do the Republicans of Utah wish to
rescue the shipwrecked prosperity of
the United States by getting on board
the only ship that offers 20 save them?
Or do they prefer to perish because
that ship flies the Democratic flag?
The thing TO do is for them to get on
hoard until the harbor of safety all
are seeking is reached. That harbor
once reached each will be as free to fol-
low his own inclinations and form what
associations he pleases, as he ever was;
shipboard alliances will cease so soon
as land is touched.
The only ship that is seeking this
year to rescue silver and restore pros
perity 20 the country is floating the
Democratic fiag. If the Republicans
of Utah wish to rescue silver, let them
throw bubbles aside and get on board
and lend all aid in the work OF rescue.

BISHOP NEWMAN IN POLITICS.

An exchange says that Bishop John
P. Newman. of the NJ. E. church, has
taken the stump for the Republican
gold ticket. Being a jealous man, he
lets his zeal run away with his judg-
ment. He is said to characterize all
wf1o disagree with hin on the financial
question as fools or kna,ves and thieves.
That certainly is not the spirit of
yea, yea and nay, nay" But the
bishop having declared war against
Bryan and Sewall and free silver, in
tends to prosecute ii with vigor. He
says he has something over one thou
sand ministers in his charge, to whom
he will consider it a duty TO give in
structions that they shall use the in
fiuence of their pulpits against the
election of Bryan and Sewall. In mis-
zeal for the cause of righteousness,
as represented by gold, the bishop is
ignoring the proprieties of the cloth
and proposes to prostitute the pulpit
for political purposes. We venture to
say that if Catholic bishop were to
say that he intended to instruct the
priests in his charge to use all their
influence in the pulpit in favor of the
election of Bryan and Sewall, there
wouldn't be man ir all the country
who would so soon raise his voice
against ecclesiastical interference in
politics as John P. Newman.
Perhaps it is our worldly mindedniass
that suggests the thought, but it is
not impossible that Bishop Newman
is so very hostile to Bryan and Sewall
and silver because of the very disas-
trous and scandalous failure of a
certain mining venture some eight or
ten years ago in what was known, if
we remember rightly, as the Methodist
mine. He may have dropped a few
Of his golden ducats in that mine and
has never recovered them. Of course
it is wrong to impute amy but the best
of motives to anyone, but still New
man, with all his Righteousness, is
human.

THE ALABAMA ELECTION.

The Democrats have carried Ala
bama against the Republicans and
Populists. AT first blush this seems
like saying that the Dutch have
captured Holland; but it is not the
same. The growth of Populism in the
south has been very considerable in
the past few years. This has all been
at the expense of the Democratic
party. At one time the Kolbitas were
quite strong in Alabama, but they do
Tot seem to have made any gains. OF
course as the state goes now it will go
in November This Alabama election
may be taken as an indication of the
way other southern states will go. 1t
is safe to say that that which chiefly
made Populism so strong in the south
was its free silver policy; there were
other things that appealed to the
southern people, but to nothing like
the extent that free silver did. This
year the Democratic platform is every
thing that could be desired in that
direction, and may be expected to
draw most of tine southern silver
sentiment to it. An August state
hasn't nearly the same Importance
that the October states used to have.
STILL If has some and a great deal of
interest.

he is very indignant at the charge that

ceptance he will denounce the accusa-

charges made against him and those
who stand with him on the Chicago
platform, but yet they are all false;
and the people know them to be false

SALT LAKE COUNTY BONDS.

county bonds. 1t speaks of Mr.. Whit

county and state securities. The News
says there is wisdom in Withdrawing
the bonds from the market at the
present time And there is no doubt
this is true. The failure of the New
York and Brooklyn bond sales is the
strongest KIND Of evidence that it is
bad time to attempt to feat bonds of
eny kind. The News closes its article
as follows:
Utah has become one of the richest
countries in the United States. The

this entire financial depression there
has not been single bank failure
within the borders of the state
The state is not alone rich in agri-
culture, but has within its borders the
greatest mineral fields in this country.
II has more dividend paying mines at
present than any other state in the
union, and its great Mercur district
promises to eclipse that even of South
Africa
The statement that there has not
been single bank failure during the
entire financial depression is not cor
rect.
The non-success of the county bond
sale is in no way reflection upon the
credit of the county Capitalists and
investors are holding off until the pres
idential election. Presidential years
are always bad for floating loans or
launching new enterprises. no matter
what the, issue may be. When there is
a revival of prosperity and investors
lose their timidity, adj Utah bonds will
be in demand.
