THE LITTLE DICTATOR OF
SALT LAKE.

the writer arrived In this beautiful
city, and while we were strolling
along the streets, q stranger tapped
Us on the shoulder and he said /
zee you are . stranger here and
I waat to know if you intend
TO live in this city. We told
him that we had come here with
the Intention Of making this city
our home. The stranger said before
you can come here to reside you
must first obtain permission from
the Little Dictator, of Salt Lake.
We asked the stranger to direct US
to the Office of this all-important
parsonage, and he graciously COM
piled with our request; on the next
day we called on the Little Dictator
and were astounded to behold such
an Insignificant looking autocrat.
After we had regained our equii-
brium he demanded our name. We
gave him this information. Then
in an insolent manner, he COM
manded US to tell him where we
were from. We told him we came
here from Chicago with the inten-
ton of making this city our home.
He said before you can come here
to live you must first fall down
upon your knees and worship me
l am the Little Dictator, of Salt
Lake.
We having a desire to remain in
this city, fell down upon our
knees. Then he began in an exag-
gerated and egotistical manner by
saying, first, l am a tax payer; sec
ond, l was Superintendent of Pub
Lie Instruction down in Old Ken
tscky; third, l was formerly Presi-
dent of the Pullman Palace Car Co;
but l have cast all these empty |
honors aside to become the Little |
Dictator of Salt Lake. I want to |
tell you all about my Dictatorship |
in this city. L run the Methodist
Church and dictated to the Minister
how to preach and pray. 1 hurl
sinners and all others headlong into
Perdition who refuse to acknowledge
me as the Little Dictator. l abso-
lutely run the Masonic Lodge and
[ know more than all of the MEM
bers combined. / started the Bap-
list Church and was one of the
Elders, and furthermore 1 own and
have perpetual chattel mortgage
On all the members of our race in
Salt Lake and when 1 order them
TO do anything, they all obey me
ike little children.
To show you that / know what
I am talking about, there is to
be a meeting of the Fifteenth
Ward Republican Club, ION Aug
ust 18th, and 1 have ordered
all of my children to be pres
emit and I know they viii all come,
for they will be afraid to disobey
my orders. But it appears that
when the meeting was called to Or
der, there was no one present but
the Little Dictator. He said the
weather was 30 hot and sultry, and
they would not attend the meeting.

Ma. DENIS FoRD, who is en-
ployed in the White House barber
shop, is a friend and reader of the
BROAD Ak. Mr.. Ford is q very in
telligent citizen, and he is of the
opinion that our race must learn to
think for themselves, and not allow
q few emPty-headed politicians to
use their votes to further their own
political aspirations. He says that
whenever the g. o. p. leaders nomi-
nate q member of our race and
stand by him, the way the Demo-

would not allow the conventions to
make any nominations; but when
the delegates were all chosen to the
three conventions, the Little Die
tator failed to appear as one of the
distinguished delegates. He be-
came furious with rage, and used .
great many cuss words when he
realized that the g. o. p. workers
were using him as . decoy-duck;
but he was patted on the back by
some of the &. o. p. leaders, and
they told him that the 6. o. p. set
US free some thirty years ago, and
if he would continue to shout and
work for the g. o. p. that in case
the g. o. p. was successful he
would have the honor of naming
six colored men for positions. So
he promised all of the g. o. p.
leaders that he would work and
sound their praises forever; and he
further promised them that
he would not allow one
member of our race to vote
the Democratic ticket, and
when the BROAD Ak made its ap-
pearance on August 3lst the Little
Dictator ran to all of the COP.
leaders and told them that not one
colored man in Salt Lake City
would vote the Democratic ticket.
He promised the Cop. leaders that
he would make the editor of the
BROAD Ak stop writing against the
COP. He ordered all the members
Of our race to stop reading the
BROAD Ak, and he went to all the
business men in this city and told
them that they must not advertise
in the BROAD AK.
He further said that all of the |
people in this city belonged
20 him, and if any of the buriness !
men wanted to continue in business
md if they wanted the colored
people to patronize them, they must
lot have anything to do with the
'ditor of BROAD Ak. He said that
We were regarded by the colored
'eople of Salt Lake as one of the
,reatest traitors on earth, Just be-
ause We would not continue to lick
he hand of those who continue to
mite US.
Now, In the name of all the
iods at once, upon what meat doth
his our Little Dictator feed, that
le has grown so great of late. He
tribes this beautiful city like
olossus, and all the rest of the
'eople must walk under his huge
egs, and peep about to find ourselves
lis slaves.

upon it, and don't you forget it.

This is the worst arr~ignment
of Mckinley we have yet seen and
Genes from a gold-bug paper Of
Idaho. If Mckinley would do
anything of the kind, he would be
an Internal traitor to his party.
He has been nominated on a plat
form, expressly demanding the
maintenance of the gold standard
and his enemies will not even &C.
cuse him of being traitor. 1t re-
mains for an Idaho paper to do
that, in a contemplate effort to
wear a double face to their readers.

industries, to the benefit of all
parties concerned. Spoke of the
necessity of self reliance of all,
both male and female, and showed
how people in some of the old
countries make an independent
living out of a very small capital.
Professor Linfeld spoke of the
man of our youth who think that
farm life is the hardest work for
the least pay and showed that the
farmer is the most independent of
any class of people.
Showed the necessity of not
only taking care Of our crops but
also of our tools of all kinds and
all machinery. Showed h W
carelessness in this line is ruinous
to the farmer.
Showed that grain, fruit and
vegetab es that we have to sell,
should be put up in as good a
shape as possible, and when it is
put in an attractive manner it is
much easier to get a good price
for the same. The same rule ap-
| plies to all kinds of produce.

SONG OF SILVER.

BY JAMES B. GOODE.
Tell us not in mournful numbers,
Life is but an idle dream;
For we see that wealth controls us
And we are not what we seem.
Rights that once our statutes gave us,
Now no longer can we claim;
For the shylock buys conventions
And the candidates doth name.
What are we that we should grumble,
Ger the platform that he writes?
IT'S the task of common people,
To believe what he indites.
Cringe, ye slaves, for Wall street
shylocks
Have the G. o. p. in hand;
You must vote for Bill Mckinley
And for gold, alone, must stand.
All! but listen to the murmur,
Of the thunder DER the plains;
AS the people rise in anger,
To protest against such claims.
Down with tyrant gold!" they're
shouting,
"Out upon those blatant knaves!
We are freemen, and, by thunder,
None can sell US out as slaves!
We're for silver and for freedom
And our claims are brave and true;
We can beat that Bill Mckinley
And his Wall street masters, tool"
Silver! silver! shouts the chorus,
From the hill tops far away,
Mile the millions in the valleys,
Sing its praises every day.
Silver will increase our wages,
1t will give us work each day;
For twill thwart the mighty shylock
And will take his power away.
Rising prices for our products,
Business for our idle men;
All will come to bless the nation,
When silver's money once again.
Plenty will return to millions
And prosperity will reign,
In the home of every workman,
When silver's money once again.
When the tides of next November,
Give to us the chance to win,
You can bet your bottom dollar.
Silver will be money then!
