the goods viii be disposed of and there
will then be no cry of production.
a simple-word illustration of the the
DRY was then given. Judge King de-
clared that with more money distrib-
uted among the masses, the mill
wheels would commence to reyolve,
prosperity would come and happiness
would once more reign throughout the
land He quoted Roswell G.. Horr and
punctured the arguments of that I'M

He explained the manner in which
Brigham Young inaugurated the scrip
system and spoke of it as a necessity
born of lack of money. My friends,
he said, you may create a tariff as
high as your snow-capped peaks. but
You will receive no higher price for
your wool than you do now, unless we
have more money You have an abun-
dance in circulation and prices are
high. No money means no wages"
He next called attention to the cattle
business and cited the manner in
which the price of cattle had fallen.
THE curse of America the judge
continued, lis British gold. Shame
upon the men who would fasten upon
US a policy destined to make us the
serfs and slaves of British plutocratsi

You Utah men who vote for Mckinley
surely forget your manhood. your duty
! to your country and to yourself. Don't
be Benedict Arnolds. God did not plant
within the breasts of his children revo-
lutionary seeds, but he did plant the
love of liberty The Bible says that
the world shall be overthrown because
OF the greed and avarice of men. Revo-
lutions do not come because no wrong
has been committed. They are the out
growth of tyranny. When governments
become tyrannical they should cease to
/ be governments. We can avert revolu-
tions by beneficial legislation and by
| giving all men an equal chance. Ny
Republicans, what do your leaders in
/ the east say? Why, that we shall not
have free silver. They do not disguise
their feelings back there. They 90 not
even mention international bimetallism.
They are for gold and gold alone. The
contest is whether we shall have the
gold standard or bimetallism
He pleaded with the Republicans
present to leave the g. o. p. and join
! the Democrats and closed with a
beautiful peroration descriptive of the
benefits to be derived from free coin
age.
Miss Clara Ferguson recited a free
coinage poem and George Blair CLOSED
the meeting with a short speech upon
the rooster and letting it go at that.
LARGE CROWD AT MURRAY.
1t was showing hard when Judge
King and companions reached Murray
at o'clock. The meeting was sched-
uled to commence at 2 o'clock but be-
fore that hour the Opera House was
well filled. Through an oversight the
building was not heated, nevertheless
the crowd was 10th to leave and despite
the unfavorable conditions everyone
remained until the meeting adjourned.
Preceding the opening the Salt Lake
boys drum corps paraded the streets.
Hon. ]. S. Rawlins acted as chairman
! of the meeting and introduced as she
first speaker George Blair, who con-
fined himself to a short discussion of
local issues. Miss Ferguson followed
with recitation.
When Judge King arose he received
at Mill Creek. For an hour and a half
he held the close attention of the
crowd. He said, in part: My friends,
am glad this important campaign is
drawing to close. Though nominated
by the Democratic party of Utah
as its candidate for congress,
felt my candidacy to be of little import
ance compared to that of the peoples
leader, William Jennings Bryan. Con
tinued cheers) So, when Chairman
Jones called upon me I thought it my
duty to leave my own canvass and go
east in answer to the cali. Ny Repub-
lican friends. it seems to me, some of
you have forgotten the noble words and
brave stand of your Whilom leader,
Henry NJ. Teller. You seem to have
also forgotten your pledge to support
that grand man and the principles he
advocates. My friends, why have you
changed? Ought not you to be the
same That you were a year ago? To
be consistent you ought to be still fol-
lowing Teller. He is the leader of this
campaign. The man you Republicans
idolized a year ago is today the leader
of the Democracy. We are following
of Utah do the same? Do you know
more than Henry NJ. Teller about the
tariff and silver questions? Do you
know mora than Senator Jones of Ne
vada? Do you know more than Senator
Dubois? Do you know more than
Towne, the brave Minnesota congress
man? Do you know more than the
hundreds and thousands of patriots who
this year are placing principle above
party? Why do you talk tariff and at
tempt to subordinate silver? Why are
you not consistent? Why are you not
the same today you were a year ago?
Silver is still the paramount issue. The
tariff question is not an issue in this
campaign, but l never shrink from a
discussion Of 1t.
Senator Cannon told me two weeks
ago that if his party had adopted the
! Chicago platform there is not a Re-
publican in the United States who to-
day would not declare it the grandest
platform adopted since the days OF
Lincoln.
Has the Republican party ever
passed a tariff bill that was not Sec
tionally discriminating? Have you for
gotten how bitterly the Mckinley bin
was denounced by James G. Blaine and
other Republican leaders? That bill
was passed for the purpose of enriching
: the few and impoverishing the many.
Who else has it benefited but few mo-
nopolists in the east ~
