DESPICABLE MISREPRESENTA-
TION.

The Republican organ insults the in
telligence Of its readers every day with
its wanton disregard of truth. 1t
claims that the New York Post is a
Democratic organ. One has but to re-
fer to the files of the Salt Lake Tribune
for an admission to the contrary.
The New York Post supported Nc
Kinley two years ago. 1t is almost as
much of a Republican organ as the
Tribune is. and that is saying a great
deal this year. The Post advocates
Republican success. not only in the ma
ton at large, but in every congress
sionaI district thereof Would a Dem
ocratic newspaper do that?
Read the following from the editorial
columns of the New York Evening
Post:
I'VE exhort all the friends of sound
money TO labor for the election of a
Republican congress. The same reasons
exist for this course and policy which
urged them to vote for Mckinley and
Hobart two years agc.'
Do sentiments like that make the
Post a Democratic paper?
There is not a more Tenomous oDpo-
nent of the Democratic national plat
form anywhere than this same Post.
Yet the lying Tribune refers to it as
"a Democratic organ"
The Post says further: There is
grave danger that the dissatisfaction
growing out of the mismanagement of
the war department, the sufferings of
the soldiers. and the growing belief
that the war itself was unnecessary,
may cause the Republicans to lose con-
tfol of the house lin the next congress-

Post, would be calamity" 1t wants

local Republican organ wants it. It

NASTY REPUBLICAN METHODS.

The Salt Lake Tribune is the recog-
nized Republican organ of Utah. 1t
has approved the work of the Repub-
lican state and county conventions. 1t
has adopted as a campaign motto:
Anything to beat the Democrats"
1t counted on the war to help it out
in its undertaking, as did every other
Republican, but Alger spoiled that. 1t
had an idea that the Republican state
convention would repudiate Arthur
Brown and some of McKinley's poll
cies, but it did neither. And the COM
bination called together by our silver
shouting, yet gold-assisting neighbor,
made Arthur Brown chairman, turned
down Salisbury, nominated a McKin-
leyite for congress, and endorsed all of
McKinley's policies. This dose the Re-
publican organ had to swallow.
1t was estopped from saying much
about silver it had declared the tariff
to be no longer an issue, it had conz
fessed Ayers criminal incompetency,
it was deprived of every sort of cam
paign material-save its old standby.
From the cobwebbed corner of
closet of the past it dragged forth the
dusty files of other years, from which
it clips and culls the bitterest and
mouldiest of its old-time rot, for cam
paign reading. n.
1t is in favor of amy combination"
political, racial or ecclesiastical, ito
beat the Democrats out of their boots"
And it is willing to resort to any
method, to reverse itself in any way,
even to injure those who are with it
in this fight, in order to crafty its
spleen against man whose chief Of
Tense, in its eyes, is that he is Dem
ocrat.
If the Republican organ were sincere,
if it were worthy of belief. if ii were
entitled to any kind of consideration, 1T
would certainly begin to right its own
household before starting in to arrange
some one else's affairs The Republic
can organ says that President j. Nj.
Tanner of the agricultural college of
Utah is a polygamist. Why doesn't it
demand his removal? Because he is a
Republican, and remember mat in this
campaign the organs motto is: ANY
thing to beat the Democrats"
When the Tribune had senatorial
bee buzzing in its sanctum, the organ
was supporting John Henry Smith,
lauding this people" to the skies, re-
senting imaginary imputations of their
sincerity, groveling at the feet of the
ecclesiastical power, and licking the
dust from the feet of the priesthood.
The Mormons know this; the nom
Mormons remember it. They realize
that the Republican organ and the Re
publican party of Utah consent to any
thing, eondone anything, endorse any,
thing, attack anything or anybody, for
the purpose of beating the Democrats
out of their boots"
1t isn't for the purpose of bringing
about any reform; they are not reform
ers, but politicians. They are anxious
only to defeat the Democratic ticket.
They have so declared themselves, and
it is to that end they are working.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

The. speech of Hon. B. H. Roberts
at Provo Monday night, and the
speeches of Senator Rawlins, Hon.
Moses Thatcher and other distinguish
ed Democrats at the theatre last night
make this plain above everything else
in the present campaign-that the sill
yer question is the paramount issue.
that all others are subordinate to it
And why is it the paramount issue?
Because it is the one question that af-
fects the people more intimately than
any other.
In 1896 the Republicans said that sill
yer was not the paramount issue, but
that protection was, and every delega-
ton that made pilgrimage to Canton
was treated to a dissertation on pro-
lection. But the concerted effort on the
part Of the Republican press and ora
tors to make protection the paramount
issue failed The Democrats said that
the question whether or not this ooun-
try should have the free and indepen-
dent coinage of silver was the para
mount issue, and it was; and the whole
campaign turned upon it.
This year in Utah the Republicans
are saying that protection is the issue.
But no one has any more interest in
the question of protection this year
than they did two years ago. And why?
Simply because it is not the paramount
issue and silver is. Does any one in
Utah think for a single moment that
there will be any issue in 1900 that Will
overshadow and dominate that of sill
yer? There is no such person. The
election this year is but preliminary to
the election in that year.
Mr. Eldredge cannot arouse any in
terest in protection, try as he may.
What the people want to know from
him is not just how and where he
stands on the question of protection,
but Just how and where he stands on
the silver question.
The paramount issue this year is sill
yer. and the party that stands for the
free. unlimited and independent coinage
of silver is the Democratic party; it
declared for it in its national platform
and the Republican party declared
against it in its national platform. The
paramount issue in 1888 is as it was in
1896 and will be in 1900, and as the peo-
pie of Utah voted in 1886 so they will
vote in 1S98-for Democracy and free
silver

is laboring for Republican success
everywhere.
Another Mckinley organ, which the
Tribune refers to as Democratic" is
the Boston Herald. It's criticism of a
Philadelphia contemporary will answer
the Salt Lake contemporary that plays
the same game. 1t says:
When the esteemed Philadelphia
Press takes occasion to quote anything
it doesn't approve from the Boston
Herald it credits the quotation to The
Boston Herald. DEM When it quotes
something that it partially agrees
with. it credits the extract to THE
Boston Herald. Ind" and when the
quotation is quite satisfactory, from
the Press own point of view, it says
The Boston Herald, Ind-Rep." Though
this may seem to be madness, yet
there's method in it.

A PROMISING ENTERPRISE.

The most promising enterprise begun
in Utah for some years is the con-
struction of a railroad from Milford to
Stateline, and eventually to Califor-
MIA Business along the road is sure
to be developed. but to get a share of
the fruit business of California alone
would almost justify the construction
of the line. How immense that bust
ness is, is scarcely realized by people.
1t is estimated that if no unforeseen
disaster interferes the orange and
lemon crops this year will be fully
$4,000 carloads. Last season $1,000 car
loads were shipped to the eastern mar
ket
And what are the rates? The pres
ent rate on oranges and lemons from
southern California to Denver, Mis-
souri, river, ST. Louis and Mississippi
river points, Chicago, Cincinnati and
New York by freight train service is
$1.25 per 100 pounds, carloads, $4,000
pounds minimum. The rates for pas
senger train service are: To Missouri
river joints, 81 per 100 pounds; st.
Louis and Mississippi river points,
$215; Chicago, $2.25. Rates TO points
beyond Chicago are not quoted in the
tariff, and depend on special arrange
ment with the carriers.
A very large proportion of this bust
ness would come over the new road,
for it would be the shortest and most
direct route to the eastern markets
The new road will prove godsend
to the people of California in a hum
bred ways, for now they are almost
completely at the mercy of the South
ern Pacific, and while that road is ex-
cellent in its appointment and service,
it is terrible in its monopoly, and never
hesitates to use it's monopolistic power
to crush or injure those who DO not
bow to its dictates.
To the people of Utah the road will
be an equal blessing, especially to those
living in the southern part of the
state, and it will do more to build up
that part of the state than anything
else The projectors of the enterprise
are really public benefactors. They
are deserving of every success.

THE WESTERN VOLUNTEERS.


The people of the western states, and
by western states is meant those that
lie in the trans Mississippi region, have
much cause for being proud of the
volunteers they sent to the war. No
better men went to the war than they;
they appear to have had a better ap
probation of what the work before
them was than many did. General
Greene, in his report of the battle of
Malate and the capture of Manila,
speaks in the very highest terms of
the Colorado troops, and did the same
when referring to the Utah troops.
They are much the same class of men,
and have lived under the same condi-
lions, faced the same hardships, lived
the same life The rough riders who
achieved so much fame at San Juan
were, with the exception of about a
hundred and fifty who came from New
York and the east, men who had led
much the same kind of a life as the
Colorado and Utah troops. And why is
it that all these men made such eX-
cellent soldiers, compared most favor
of the mode of life they had led. In
his testimony before the Dodge board
of inquiry General Wheeler said:
Replying to a question from Colonel
DENLY, General Wheeler said the reg
ulars had shown a greater ability to
take care of themselves than the Volun-
teers. The volunteers were more care
less, but the volunteer cavalrymen
were not so negligent as the other vol
unteers, because they were generally
western men, who had been used TO
camping. He thought this fact had had
strong influence in causing the health
of the regulars to be better than that
of the volunteers.
The western men are more used to
an outdoor life than the men of the
east. wherein there is more or less
danger, and this naturally makes them
mere self-reliant. The man who is ac-
customed to ride the plains day after
day or to climb the mountains day af-
ter day, and to make of the ground his
couch, and to have the sky for its can
opy, cannot but be better fitted to Ell
dure the hardships of camp life than
those whose lives have been passed in
cities, and whose occupations have
been largely sedentary. AS between
the two it is not question of courage,
for both have that, but of physical
endurance and a knowledge of how
best to take care of themselves when
in the field, where the conditions are
all radically different from those of the
home life. The advantage was all with
the men of the mountain and the
plain; and General Wheeler, than
whom there is no better judge, prac-
tically says it is with them.
