THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.


The address of the Democratic state
central committee 10 the people of
Utah is just what such an address
should be. The treatment of the silver
question is bold and convincing. and
puts the paramount issue Of the cam
padgn before the people as it should be-
1t but states the truth when it declares
that The Democratic national con-
vention voiced the cry of outraged hui
mainly. It cast precedents to the winds
and struck a blow for liberty The
platform which it adopted is the crys-
talizauion of the hopes and aspirations
OF those who have been ground down
by the interest gatherers. 1t is at once
a promise and prophecy for the future.
Its declaration upon the financial ques-
ton is so clear that there is no mis-
understanding. 1t is so strong that it
has forced the issue to the front"
Every other part of the address is
equally as strong and to the point.
That part which refers to the in
come tax plank of the Chicago plat
form is SO fortified with quotations
from Lincoln, Justices Harlan and
Brown, who disseuted from the deci-
sion in the income tax case, as to
completely answer all criticisms upon
that plank 1t makes of those criti-
cisms nothing but the earnings of dem
agogues.
The address makes perfectly plain
the meaning Of the tariff plank in the
Democratic platform. 1t is the con-
struction that viii be placed upon 1T
by the Democratic party if the people
snail return 1T to power. It is con-
servative in the extreme, too conserva-
tive it win be deemed by some. But
then tariff is not the issue this year
and cannot be made an issue until af-
ter the money question is settled
The address is an able document and
will appeal to the people of Utah be-
cause Of the cogency of its reasoning
and the unanswerable facts It sets
forth. The committee is to be con
graduated upon it.

WANTS MORE SrK1NLEY.

The Chicago millionaire, Charles T.
Yerkes, thinks that Mr.. Bryan is get
ting too much advertising from the
Republican papers. He writes co the
Chicago Times Herald in part as fol-
lows: 1T is matter of wonder
nient to me as I look over the daily
papers Why it is that those that are
for Mckinley so seldom mention his
name. In fact, ever since the Chicago
convention was held we read of moth
ing but Bryan. Why this extensive
advertising for Bryan? 1t seems TO me
that the newspapers are making a
great mistake We read a great deal
about educating the people and teach
ing them what the Democratic plat
form means and very little about the
other side. I have learned great deal
OF the claims Of the so-called DEM
ocracy, but SO far as my newspaper
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-17

Information goes; know very little of
the claims of the Republican side.
In fact, to sum the whole matter up,
it is a continual advertising of Bryan
and his party. l have Noticed morn
ing after morning in the newspapers
of Chicago. with the exception per-
haps of the Times Herald-and that is
not always an exception-that McKin-
ley is very seldom meneioned. The
fact is, our newspapers have dropped
Mr.. Mckinley almost entirely out of
the race, if we judge from what we
read in them. On Sunday, for in
stance, a time when we ought to have
plenty Of reading matter regarding
Mckinley, the Republican platform and
the benefits 20 the country TO be de-
rived from the election of a Republi-
can president, 1 find on the first page
of one of our prominent Republican
newspapers four big headlines in re-
laticn to Bryan, the Democrats and
the Populists, and not a line in rela-
ton to Mckinley or the Republicans.

found the same condition OF affairs"
The facts which he recites should
convince Mr.. Yerkes that the people
want to hear about Bryan and Dem
ocracy and not Mckinley and Repub-
licanism. Newspapers, he should re-
member, try to comply with the de-
mands of the people Hence 1T is they
do not talk McKinleyism.

A SILLY WAY TO FIGHT SILVER.

During a campaign the people will
forgive politicians and others almost
any fault or error but one, which is
tnat of being silly. the otacials OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul rail-
road have undertaken to fight silver
through the adoption OF the silly
method A Sioux Falls dispatch to the
Chicago Record says that much indig-
nation is expressed there over an order
issued by the above road to the effect
that free silver literature of any char
acter Whatever shall not be distributed
on the trains or at stations by any
body connected with the train service,
and that the order is interpreted TO
mean that news agents shah not sell
silver publications.
Those who made such an order should
have had the good sense to see that it
but adds fuel to the flames. When
people cannot have a thing they al
ways want 1T worse than any other
time When Postmaster-G General Wan
amaker issued his order forbidding
the transmission through the mails OF
the Kreutzer Sonata he made the for
tune of that book. That order made
people as keen to read it as Adam and
Eve were to eat OF the forbidden fruit
after they were told that they must
not.
This order that free silver literature
shall not be distributed on the stations
or on the trains of the c..
NJ. & st. Paul road by any
of its employees will but whet the
appetite of the roads patrons to get
it. It seems impossible that such an
order could have had the sanction of
the general managers of the road, yet
the order has been made. 1t is plain
that some one has blundered.

TALES OF THE DAY.
No hiring About the oIatter.

Probably one of the neatest bits Of
sharp bargaining ever enacted took place
not long ago between an apparently g
norant German with an abundance OF
wealth and a. sharp dealer in horses
TIE German wanted a days outing. and
decided that a long drive would suffice
for his wants. and applied to the horse
dealer for the hire of his best horse and
trap. The dealer. not knowing the ap-
plicant. demurred at supplying his wants.
The German. determined to have his ride,
finally pulled out a huge roll of bills and
offered to buy the horse and rig, pro-
yided the dealer would buy them back
at the same price. This surprised the
dealer but not wishing to offend the
owner of so much ready money and pos
Slby a good future customer, he agreed
to the deal.
The German departed with the horse
and rig. and at the end of the day re-
turned them in good condition, express
ing his satisfaction at the pleasure the
drive had afforded him. The dealer &C
cording to the agreement, paid him back
the money and the German started to
leave the place.
Il beg your pardon, SIR exclaimed
the dealer. but you have forgotten to
pay for the hire you know"
Pay for the hire? Why, my lear sir. -
coolly replied the German, Il fail to see
that. If you will exercise your memory
a tr5fie you will agree that | have been
driving my own horse and trap all day,
and, now that you have bought them
back, they are ours There was no hir-
ing about the matter. Good day, SIR
And he left the aston4shed dealer to re-
fiect-Harper'S Round Table.

Heart of my heart, my life and light,
If you were lost, what should 1 do?
dare not let you from my sight,
Lest Death should fall in love with you.
Such countless terrors lie in wait;
The gods know we'll how dear you are
What if they left me desolate,
And plucked and set you for their star?
So hold my hand-tfle gods are strong,
And perfect joy SO rare a flower
No man may hope to keep it long
And l might lost it any hour.
So kiss me close, my star, my flower,
So shall the future spare me this;

We might have kissed and did not kiss

said Major Mckinley in his address
at Canton, o.. the other day: Il do
not know what you think about it, but
I believe that it is good deal better
to open up the mills of the United

open up the minis of the United States
to the silver of the world Very well,
