INVESTMENTS IN UTAH.

An attempt has been made at Chica-.
go to influence the Utah delegation on
the money question by the issuance
of circular setting forth how much
money certain capitalists have invested
in Utah, and which they threaten to
withdraw if the Democratic national
convention adopts a free silver plat
form and names a free silver man on
it. This is direct attempt by the
money power to influence our national
politics. These investors who are
breathing such terrible threats are not
in Utah for their health, but for the
money they can make. There is no
charity about the matter, but simply
cold blooded business proposition. If
the Democratic national convention de-
clares for free silver and the people
of the United States elect free silver
president and congress, where will
these would-be bulldozers so with
their capital after Withdrawing from
Utah?
Utah investments always have been
safe and sound and they always will
be. 1t is the desire of the people that
capital come 10 the state and they
will do all in their power to make it
safe, but the people of Utah will not
submit to have capital dictate to them
in political matters. AS to these par
ticular investors who have put out
this circular, we say, as Judge Powers
said, in answer to it: IF they don't
want to play in our back yard, they
needn't to-

the Chicago convention. is silver man
and he says that more than half the
Democrats in his state are for free
silver. The G1obe-Democrat itself ac-
knowledges that the silver sentiment
is more widely dfffused in the east
than anybody believed along to a week
or two ago 1t also says that, unlike
the slavery question, the money issue
is not sounded by sectional lines.
1t is well that this fact should be
recognized by all. The way in which
those who have been and are opposed
to free silver have treated the ques-
ton and pooh-poohed it and said there
was nothing in it, that it was a mere
craze that would not last any time at
all, has been a matter of establishment;
while the manner in which they have
spoken Of those who have advocated
free silver has been as insulting as
was possible. No name was too vile,
no epifhet too opprobious to apply to
the silver men. At last those who have
been indulging in such talk and name
calling and feeling all the while that
they were secure in their own conceits,
are beginning to awaken to the fact
that they have been deceiving them
selves all the time, and that what they
said was nothing but a little sectional
question Of no Importance is great
national issue. BY pride angels have
fallen before the age of the goldbugs.

A DEMOCRAT OF DEMOCRATS.

The Kansas City Times has always
been a very strong advocate of the
gold standard. 1t has also been very
able and consistent advocate of the
doctrines of Democracy. OF late it has
realized that the Democratic party was
for free silver and that its national
convention would, in all human proba-
bility, declare for it. OF late it has
received numerous enquiries as to
whether it would support the platform
and nominee of the Chicago convention
in the event that both were for free
silver. The Times says it has no hest
tation in defining its position. 1t
frankly and honestly tells why it has
given its steadfast, unfiinching and
unwavering support to the administra-
ton and it's financial policy. Follow
ing this it says the season for delib-
Grafton and discussion within the party
ranks is almost past and that the time
for action is near at hand. 1t closes
its able and thoroughly Democratic
ocratic to the backbone.
1t says: That sailor hero of our
last war with Great Britain, gallant
Stephen Decatur, was once called upon
for toast at a great banquet OF
Americans and foreigners, and he re-
piled thus. My country! May she al
ways be right. But right or wrong
my country And so the Times says
of the Democratic party in the great
battle in which it is about to engage
in behalf Of the struggling masses of
the south and west, and, indeed, of
the whole country, against the pluto
cratic bosses and monopolies of the
privileged class created by the Repub-
lican party during its long reign in the
government of this country The
Times offers the toast: The Demo-
cratic party, its platform and its can
didates; its platform, whatever it is;
its candidates, whoever they may be-
There is no variableness nor turning
aside with the Times in its devotion
to the great, the living, the saving
principles of Democracy. And so it
should be with all Democrats.
