THREE DAYS nEFoRE ELECTION.


1t is but three days to election. In
that time the people should calmly look
over and consider the whole situation
and make up their minds what it were
we'll TO do. and on Tuesday next do it..
If the people of the state win but
take a retrospective view of the condi-
ton of business in Utah and through
out the nation and carefully study the
causes which have produced that con-
dition, they. win realize the importance
of using the elective franchise to
amend and improve it.
Very few of the people of Utah doubt
that the depressed condition of bust
ness. the great lack Of initiatory en-
terprise, the far greater poverty that
exists everywhere throughout the land
than ever before, result mainly from
the decentralization of silver. This be-
ing so, then the restoration of the free
coinage of silver is a condition prece-
dent TO the improvement of the present
deplorable condition OF the country.
To that party which is pledged TO
the restoration of the free and indie
pendent coinage of silver, and not to
the party that is pledged against the
free and independent coinage. of silver.
the people must look for the enactment
of that legislation intended to amend
the condition they now deplore and
would improve; in other words, they
must look to the Democratic party and
not to the Republican.
AS the people desire the free and in
dependent coinage of silver they should
elect Bryan electors. But Bryan in the
White House and anti-Bryan men in
the senate and house simply means a
deadlock on the silver question. There
fore, the people of Utah should elect a
Democratic congressman and Demo-
cratic legislature that will in turn
elect Democratic senator. free
silver president acting in harmony with
a free silver congress is the only way
to secure free silver legislation. This
silver question has become a party
question, the Democrats championing
the cause, the Republicans arraying
themselves against it. Don't imperil it
by sending to either branch of congress
any man who does not stand upon a
national platform pledged to free sill

GoLDqI'Es' PURPOSE.

In his recent speech at Covington Sec
rotary Carlisle said: THE first and
most important step is for the people
of the United States to make such a
record at the polls on the third of next
month as will forever put an end to
ehe selfish and mischievous agitation
of the currency question, which has
done more than any other one thing to
paralyze industry, destroy credit, and
depress our trade at home and abroad"
No one can be found who thinks that
Secretary Carlisle does not fully underf
stand what the programme of the oppo-
sition is relative to the financial ques-
ton. He is hand-and-glove with the
Mckinley managers on this question;
and he is supporting Palmer and Buck
ner in order to contribute to McKin-
ley's election.
No other man is in position to more
accurately define the financial policy
of the administration that would come
into power if the Republicans should be
successful. For four years, the secre-
tary has been in close touch with the
financial powers that are at the back of
NIcKinley's campaign and he knows
exactly what is to be done in the event
of McKinley's election. Not only does
he know, but he proclaims it. Ii will
Palmer and Buckner's policy when he
said that the first thing for the people
to do was to make a record at the
polls that would forever put an end
to the free coinage agitation. When
the secretary made that statement he
was announcing the policy of the Re
publican party.
How foolish it is, in view of such
prearranged programme. for any man
to think of voting for Republicans for
the house and senate in the hope that,
in the event of McKinley's election,
they would he able to induce him to
reopen the agitation
The Tribune asks silver Republicans
here to vote for the Republican candi-
date for the national house and. for
legislative candidates who would choose
a Republican senator. on the ground
ln2t, Il hchlHiey SuOutO DecOLuS pIeSl-
dent, they might be able to induce him
to do something for silver.
The Herald wants voters to put right
alongside of that argument the pur-
pose of the Republican party-a pur-
pose clearly disclosed in. every utter
ance of the party press and~ in the
speeches of the party orators and that
is reflected by the secretary of the
treasury who stands SO close to the
power that controls that party. That
purpose is to forever put an end" to
the agitation OF the financial ques-
ton.
What possible hope can there be that
Mckinley would reopen the question?
What excuse would there be for a man
who should vote the Republican ticket
upon such a theory? 1t would be quite
as reasonable for ex-confederates to
vote for Buckner in the expectation that
he would be able to reopen negotiations

The judge tells of an incident that
occurred while he was talking with
Governor Altgeld. In the southern part
OF the state great efforts are being
made to prejudice the voters against
the governor because he pardoned the
Haymarket Anarchists. A gentleman
connected with the campaign came in

THE McoY CASE.


The conviction of DR.. William Mccoy
of malpractice committed upon the
person of Eveline Bonnet, of Provo.
is matter of congratulation. crime
was committed against this girl, and
to hide the evidences of it this man
Mccoy committed malpractice upon
her, which. resulted in her death. Nc
Coy knew that the crime had been
committed against her, and yet he was
perfectly willing to commit another
crime against her and the laws of the
state. That this is his first crime of
this kind is altogether improbable. But
at last the law has found him out and
convicted him, and today its sentence
will be imposed upon him. What that
sentence shall be the court before
whom he was tried will, in its wisdom,
say; but the sentiment of the whole
people is such that. if the court shall
impose the heaviest penalty provided
by the law, they will with one voice
say "Amen,"
The case of the Bennett girl was a
very sad one. She seems to have been
the victim of about as bad a lot of
men as ever went unhung, and it is a
matter of great regret that some who
were connected with it were allowed to
go scot free. Perhaps it was inevitable
that they should go free, but it is just
such miscarriage of justice. that
sense of justice that is in the heart of
man which tells him what is right and
what is wrong, that too often invokes
lynch law to avenge an outraged COM
munity and seems to make lynch law
excusable if not justifiable.
Again we say that the conviction of
Mccoy is matter of congratulation.

signed it. and to use it as a campaign
document. Without any hesitation
Governor AAgeld replied:
"Nc; cannot let you have it for
any such purpose. pardoned those
men because Of my conviction that it
was right and my duty to do SO. And
now if anyone is sssailing me because
did, and trying to injure me politically,
I will not seek protection behind the
names upon that petition but did my
duty, and that is enough"
It was truly a great DISPLAY of moral
courage, equal to the moral courage of
Mr.. Cleveland when he said: Tell the
truth"

EDITOR LLOYD ON SILVER.

Mr.. Lloyd, the editor of the London
Statist, the leading English financial
journal, was in Boston last week,
and spoke before the Twentieth Cen
fury club. According to the Herald,
when Mr.. Lloyd began to speak many
were doubtful as to what the outcome
might be, but the aim of mis- address
was to show that gold is unequal to
the demands that might be put upon
it if silver is not to be depended upon
as money.
That is very important admission,
coming from the source that it does. Mr..
Lloyd has no interest in the question
other than that of a student of finance
and political economy. What he says
must be received as having the weight
of authority; but it is exactly what the
advocates of silver have been saying
for years and years.
If the supply of gold were equal to
the monetary demand upon it, there
would be no silver question. But it is
not equal to this demand, and while
the increase in it has been truly re-
markable, it has not been at all com
mensurate with the demands upon it.
Business and commerce expand SO
much more rapidly and extensively
than the volume of money that the
supply of money metals is not adequate
to this expansion. What may be
termed the monetary fictions of COM
merce supplement the work and power
of the money metals, but they are
fictions, after all. Even these fictions
must rest upon a solid metallic money
basis.
Each days experience proves that
gold is unequal to the demands put
upon it. What Mr.. Lloyd says might
he actually is

FLAG DAY.

This is flag day, the day on which
supporters of Bryan are expected to
display the national colors from their
homes and business buildings. The
day has been designated for the pur-
pose by the Democratic national COM
mittee and our state committee has is
sued a request that it be observed
throughout Utah. 1t is to be hoped,
therefore, that there will be a general
compliance with the request and that
the spirit of the people will be reflected
by thousands of futtering flags.
1t has been a fad of the Republicans
to claim that they We're. the particular
chosen and anointed custodians of the
flag and defenders of it's honor; and
Mark Hanna, with his customary AFRO
gance, issued a proclamation calling on
all those who are loyal to it to display
it ON October 81 as an indication of
implied challenge was at once accepted
by Mr.. Bryan and Chairman Jones,
and the Democratic committee likewise
appointed the day as flag day through
out the country.
Surely if there is one class who can,
more appropriately than any other, dis
play the flag today it is those who
support William j. Bryan for the presi-
dency The flag is American; every
star and every stripe is American;
every sentiment clustering about it and
every glorious memory attaching to it
is American, and all those who, in
this campaign, are supporting the dis
tinctively American candidate, should

Mr.. M. S. Ascheim of Park City, who
is now in the east, writes to friend
in the Park that Bryan will surely be
elected. He says he will carry Ken
lucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Nebras-

'Ascheim has reached this conclusion
from his own observations and from
talks with the Democratic managers
at headquarters. The bets at large
odds that Mckinley will be elected he
says are but straw bets, made by
gold men between themselves for the
purpose of deception and to keep up
the courage of McKinley's supporters.
Mr.. Ascheim is recognized in Utah
as very close student of politics and
as being very conservative in his po-
litical forecasts. This fact makes his
prediction regarding Mr.. Bryan's cleo
ton of more than ordinary interest.
