TEE STATE CAMPAIGN.


The Democratic state central commit
tee needs financial aid in order TO en-
able it to properly conduct the state
campaign. The aid thus far given It has
been very small indeed. This is not
as it should be. While there is no ques-
ton but that Bryan electors viii be
elected, it is by no means 50 certain
that the Democrats will carry the state.
But it is equally as essential that the
state Legislature be carried by the Dem
ocrats as that the electoral vote be
carried by Bryan. It is also as neces-
sary that a Democratic congressman
be elected.
It should be realized here as thor
oughly as it is in the east that it is
really of more Importance to carry the
congressional districts and the legisla-
lures Of those states where senators
are to be elected than to carry the
presidency And this for the reason
that the president cannot inaugurate
any legislation, his sole function in re-
gard to it being to approve or to disap-
prove it. Hence the control Of congress
is a prime necessity so far as silver
legislation is concerned. This makes
the election of Democratic legislature
and representative imperative so far
as the interests of free silver are con-
cerned.
The people of this state may put it
down as being as cereain as anything
in politics can be that the election of
Republican legislature means the re-
election of Senator Arthur Brown; no
other Republican in the state, no mat
ter how prominent or what his views
on silver, will have fighting chance
against him. He is first Of all Re
publican who stands fairly and sluarely
upon the St. Louis platform, the plat
form which declares against the free
and independent coinage of silver by
the United States. We have no hesita-
ton in saying that if Senator Brown
is sent back to Washington he will
substantially shape the policy of the
representative from this state. if a Re
publican IS elected. If the people want a
senator who will put tariff to the front
and relegate free silver to the rear, Sen
ator Brown will fill the bill excellently
well.
For the reasons above set forth, and
for many that might be set forth, the
people of Utah should not elect a Re
publican legislature. And because they
should not, Democrats everywhere
throughout the state should give finan-
cial aid, and give it without delay, 10
the Democratic state central committee.
1t should be remembered that the
McKinleyites are very active in the
state. Ana IL should be remembered
further that they have back of them
Mr.. Hanna with all his monetary re-
sources, and that the Mckinley man
ayers in Utah can rely upon aid from
him wherever it shall be called for.
This should stir the Democrats up to
doing something to aid the state com
mittee. The committee cannot make a
fight in this state without the 4sinews of
war. 1t is the duty of every Democrat
to do all in his power to furnish cheese
sinews.

Hon. John E. Osborne, Democratic
nominee for congress, is receiving a
great ovation in the western portion of
this state. AT Evanston it was unprec-
edented His patriotic American free

flames which all parties famed in 1894.

The Herald would add an expression
of its belief that the people of Wy
oming cannot be anenated from the
truth at the will of a few weather-vane
politicians. They have been in favor of
free coinage; they were schooled in
that belief by the very men who now
seek to lead them into the gold bug
camp. But though former leaders
have deserted to the enemy, the cause
is not without splendid leadership in
Governor Osborne and his associates,
and there can be no doubt that the
state will remain true to its past at
titude.

MORAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Ex-senator Dolph, of Oregon, has
got himself into trouble by a state
ment in court that he knew of a
man occupying a high place in the ad-
ninistration at Washington who some
times became intoxicated and of an
other standing still higher who was not
free from such failing. 1t has been
suggested that Dolph may be censured
by the Oregon bar association for in
dulging in such reflections. The ex-
senator made his statement in extern
uation of charges made against
client, his purpose being to show that
the habit alleged was not so repre-
hensible as it was sought to make it
appear.
If he is to be censured, it seems to
The Herald that the censure should
be based upon the sentiment in sup
port of which the statement was made
1t is a very delicate matter-this Of
exposing the moral shortcomings of
high officials to the gaze of the public
On one side is the argument that it
shows lack of respect for official au-
thority and detracts from the dignity
of the government; on the other is the
self-evident truth that public opinion
cannot be aroused unless the public
be placed in possession of the facts.
1t is unquestionable that the public
demands rectitude on the part of those
whom it honors, especially those who
are placed in exalted positions. Public
sentiment on the subject is based
largely upon the fact that men who are
honored with high office are looked
upon as examples and that shortcom-
ings on their part have direct and
dangerous influence upon the charac-
ters of young men. This was illus
trated by Mr.. Dolph's action when ne
sought to extenuate the offense of his
client by showing that high public
official was sometimes guilty of sim
liar conduct.
1t may not be wise to be overzealous
in exploiting the private life of officials
indeed, such a policy would simply
call attention to the bad example set
by the official-but when, for any rea-
son, such an exposure is made, the evil
of the action complained of should not
be heightened by an attempt to screen
the real offender and punish the person
exposing the offense. Let censure fan
" ere it belongs; let public officials.
h:sh and low, understand. that they
owe duty to the community in the
shaping of their personal conduct in
respect to which the public will hold
them to strict accountability.

other time in recent years. He shows
that the alleged prosperity of 1892 was
only comparative. Moreover, the posi-
ton taken by Teller is held by all BIZ
metadlists and great multitude are
always ready to demonstrate the truth
Of their assertion.
If the Chronicle would turn to its
fiies-if it would refer to the utter
ances that 1t put forth before it turned
its back upon bimetallism and bowed
the knee to Mark Hanna's golden image
it would find just such arguments as
1t now calls upon Bryanites TO produce
There was distress, there were strikes,
there were crushingly low prices for
products in 1892, and all bimetallists
were united in pointing out the fact
that the trouble arose from the single
gold standard.
1T is not denied that times were
better in 1892 than they are now, but
they were so far from being good that
there was a we'll nigh universal cry of
distress. 1t is not necessary to inquire
whether or not recent tariff legislation
had any appreciate effect in increas-
ing or mitigating the trouble, for any
man who understands the issue now
before the people realizes that condi-
tons were gradually growing harder
from year to year after the demonetl-
cation of silver; that a crash was inev-
liable; that the tariff law of 1890 did
not stop the pressure of the gold stand
ard boa constructor, and that no tariff,
however high or however low, could
prevent the crushing out of the life of
those involved in the struggle with
the hideous reptile. So absolutely in
effectual was the Mckinley law as
remedy, that business was gasping long
before the new administration came
into power; and, moreover. had it not
been for the enactment of the Sherman
law-that miserable, daspised make
shift of financial legislation-the crash
would have come in the midst of the
reign of McKinleyism-
The time has been too short-human
memory is too long-for any one to as
sert that we had real prosperity in 1892,
expecting when he does so to avoid a
protest from his hearers. It was the
gradually contracting conditions of life
that led to Cleveland's overthrow in
1883. and it was the still harder condi-
tons that led TO his triumphant cleo
ton in 1892 Compared with their pres
ent lot the people realize that they
were better off during the last admins
tration; but they know that the differ
ence is only comparative. Moreover
they now know that they struck at
shadows in the past; and they are going
to deliver their fire this year directly at
their greatest enemy.

THEN AND NOW.

We have not found a Bryanite free
trader who is willing to discuss the
state of trade in 1892. They assert in
the most unequivoeal fashion that
things have been in a deploraible state
since 1873. although it is notorious chat
in the year which witnessed the cleo
ton of Cleveland the country was in a
remarka bly, fiourishing condition. The
evidence on this latter point is album
dant and conclusive. 1t is furnished
by Democratic free-Srade journals and
trade papers which have no political
leanings. Under the circumstances it
is idle TO expect men to believe that the
present depression is due to any other
cause than the efforts of Cleveland and
the Democratic congress to put the
United States on q free-srada basis, and
it is Irrational to expect a revival of
prosperity until q Republican congress
gives the country a well-adjusted pro-
tective tariff, and with it prosperity
San Francisco Chronicle.
It is remarkable that she Chronicle
should state that no Bryanite can be
found who will discuss the condition Of
trade in 1892. One of the strongest
points made by Senator Teller in his
speeches is that business conditions
were not satisfactory and the people
were not prosperous in 1892, or at any
