SALT LAKE. July l5.-Ths Trans

orler promi tly at Q o'clock this
morning with a large audience i'll the

to the fact that Hon. VIM. j. Bryan,

said was ont Of order, but the cheers
were gwen nevertheless.

said he was fully i'll accord with the

c~oxsrASrL. SHIFTING.

Many OF our valued republican con-
temporsries are deriving considerable
fun from the change in tariff theories
now alleged to be going on in the
democratic party. They seem to for
get that within the last few years a
change, almost revolutionary. on the
same question took place in the re-
publican party.
When the Mckinley bill passed both
houses OF congress and received the
signature Of the President all ppub-
Leans in the land whooped with eiee
and sung dhe praise Of William Nc
Kinley until they were holrse. With
a tax on everything used by a human
being from the time he WAS laid in
the crib until he was lowered into six
feet OF earth the republicans glori:ied
and saw the millennium sticSing
above the horizon.
That WIS in 1890. Two years later
the democrats mopped the earth with
the republican purity. 1t required
several days OF shovelmG to get the
snow of its PROSTATE. frozen remains.
And no sooner did the republican
heads appear above the drifts than
their mouths opened in denunciation Of
William Mckinley and his law. There
was not n republican from the Moose
head lake to the Cliff rocks who
would not take oath that his
Iarty was defeated by the Mckinley
law and that William Mckinley was
as dead. politically. rs a mackerel.
This country, the republicans de-
clared. 40 longer needed n high pro-
tective tariff; our industries were no
longer infantile to be nursed on the
bottle of protection; protection. in
deed. was an issue which would no
longer separate the republican and
democratic parties.
That was i'll 1892 aud 1893. Then
the panic, which was the natural re-
suit Of fool economic and financial
systems. struck the country and
keeled it over ON its beam ends. And
it is not righting itself very rapidly
yet. With the panic came the re-
publican clamor for Il protective tar
if for our industries. which in a year
had become infants again. AS Mr..
Mckinley was The greatest living
apostle OF the protection theory his
name was caught by the republican
wind and the first the county knew
Mr.. Mckinley Was exhumed from his
