ences of the world is leading the cru
! sade for humanity
You may say, as has been said by
distinguished Republican editor and a
friend of silver, that in urging Republi-
! cans to vote with us and in urging
Democrats to stand true to their nom
inees, that I am guilty of special
pleading. But, the criticism is NOT
founded on fact. Democracy stands for
silver. ReDublicanism now stands for
the gold standard. The battle be-
tween the standards is one which can
not be compromised While it is be-.
ing waged there is no time
TO HAGGLE OVER THE TARIFF.
II is condition where men are nothing
and where principle is everything. A
man who believes in silver can better
afford to vote for his worst enemy for
the legislature on the Democratic tick
ca, knowing that he is pledged to vote
for an uncompromising silver man for
the United States senate, than for his
best friend and take the chance of
electing a senator who belongs to the
Senator Brown race of silver men. This
is year when the people should take
the control of things in their own
hands. The efforts of leaders 10 pre-
serve the party organization simply to
control the patronage in the event of
McKinley's election, is not to be so
highly commended as the action OF men
who go to the polls determined that
their views shall be given full express
sion at the ballot box.
VOTE FOR KING.
1 urge you TO vote for King for con-
gresS. Ills ability, his eloquence. his
legislative experience and his logic are
needed in the halls OF the house of rep
resentatives. Vote for your candidates
Tor the legislature and send a straight
silver Democrat to the United States
senace. Some of you may feel that
your county convention ought to have
named some other men, There never
was a convention yet when someone
was not dissatisfied. But the convention
mas acted. There is a great principle
at stake. The methods of the conven-
non and the personality of the nominees
SINK INTO insignificance in the light of
the great issue. If there be any Dick
eTlng or contention, put it under your
Ieet Close up the ranks. Let there
De no break in the lines. Subordinate
everything for the great cause, for the
great issue in this great campaign.
Hon w. II. King followed and re-
celVed cordial reception. which
! showed that he was in the house of his
friends. His address was eloquent and
prlstled with facts, and by it he DEM
cnstrated that he is entitled to be
ranked among the foremost speakers of
the west. A more instructive. more
convincing or more eloquent speech
has never been delivered in Cache
county, and at its conclusion Utah's
new congressman was given a perfect
ovation.
Judge King said in part:
JUDGE KINGS ADDRESS.
The American people are engaged in
a campaign more important than any
witnessed during the past three de-
! cades. While efforts may be made to
divert attention from the issues OF the
hour and the citadel around which the
! battle must be waged, they will prove
abortive. 1t is not a fight for or
against projections; the relation of the
state to the nation is not concerned
but the supreme question is, shall the
nation, as an Independent nation, be
preserved, and shall a financial policy,
the foundation of which was laid by
the patriots who repealed foreign in
vaders, be restored to the republic.
This should not be a sectional fight.
The question at issue is broader than
our nation. 1t IS not too much to say
that freedom is the prize at stake. The
history of nations conclusively demon
strates that the greatest foe to lib
erty and free government is organ
lied wealth perverting its power to
secure greater concessions and wiring
from the people the results of their
labor When the money of a country
is congested and conferred in the hands
of few, the condition resulting there
from menaces free institutions and the
pelpetuity of government.
PROVIDENCE DIFFUSES ITS GIFTS
and the sun shines for all. The Demo-
cratic party has no fight against
wealth; the warfare is against its mis-
use and the efforts of those possessing
it to contract the currency and bind
the American people to a gold policy,
which will further enrich the few and
pauperize the many, and entail misery
and sorrow upon so many millions of
our fellow citizens.
1foney is the means of association.
It not only measures values, but It
creates division of labor and so pro-
duces industrial activity.
Commerce and Industrial activity are
abe 2nFaslling forces OF civilization.
They create labor and labor produces
wealth. That which facilitates eX-
change of products either of hand or
brain, advances the interests Of society
and becomes a stepping stone to a
