THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

If the people of Salt Lake county are
wise, and we believe they are, they
viii elect the Democratic candidates
or county, commissioners.
The Republicans and their organ
nave been making desperate efforts to
belittle the good work done in behalf
of the taxpayers by the present Dem
ocratic board of county commissioners,
but they have signally failed.
The taxpayers have the figures show
ing receipts and expenditures under
the last Republican administration and
under the present Democratic admin
istration, and can make their own COM
parsons.
The taxpayers know that the credit
of the county has been made as good
as that of any private business insti-
tuition in town.
They know that expenditures in all
departments have been reduced to a
minimum.
They know that all county officers
now have to earn their salaries, and
that the salaries are on the same basis
as salaries paid by private business
houses for like services, and that the
offices are no longer sinecures in which
the incumbenrs have nothing to do
and grow rich at it.
They know that many thousands Of
dollars have been saved in the matter
of building and repairing roads, and
that the roads are better than when
they were under the control of the
Republican county administration.
They know that under the present
Democratic administration there has
been no boodling.
The taxpayers of Salt Lake county
know that the administration of coun-
ty affairs by the Democratic board of
commissioners has been honest and
economical. The same Democrats who
gave the county this kind of an ad-
lninistration are candidates for re-
election. They have served the people
well and faithfully. Let them be
honored again with the confidence of
the taxpayers. and Mr.. Whitaker will,
il elected, serve the people as well and
faithfully as Mr. Armstrong and Mr..
Rawlins have. The Democratic county
candidates for commissioners, and all
other Offices. should be elected.

THAT EIGHT-HoUR ISSUE.

It is reported that P. Ditto Christen-
sen of the Republican state committee
has delivered some so-caued speeches TO
patient miners, who very properly re-
ceived wages for listening to him, and
that the gist of his alleged argument
is as follows:
''B. H. Roberts made a speech against
the miners eight-hour bill in the con-
stitutionaI convention"
As a falsehood condenser P. Ditto is
a genius. In that one sentence he has
crowded seven bald misstatements,
viz:
l. The labor article in the constitution
makes no reference at all to the length
of miners day.
. The eight-hour section in the con-
stitution applies only to public works.
3. When Mr.. Roberts spoke against
encumbering the constitution with leg
islation the Kearns amendment had
not been introduced.
4. Mr.. Roberts voted for the Kearns
eight-hour amendment when it was in
troduced and Secretary P. Ditto Chris
Jensen so recorded him.
5. The eight-hour law for miners was
passed by the state Legislature in
March, 1895, over the protest of Alma
Eldredge's organ. (See Tribune, March
20, 1896.
6. Mr.. Roberts was not member of
the body that made that law, and
therefore couldn't have spoken or voted
against it.
4 Finally, there were no bills intro
duced in the constitutional convention.
But Farley doesn't mean to distort
the record he was paid s. per day in
the constitutional convention to keep
straight. He simply, and the word is
used advisedly. forgets.

DEMOCRACY FOR FREE SILVER

Republican speakers and papers are
telling the people of the state that sill
yer is not an issue in this campaign.
The reason they tell this to the people
is to deceive them and lull their sus-
picions regarding Alma Eldredge and
his standing on the silver question
Silver is the great issue of the cam
paign and is so recognized by Repub-
lican leaders throughout the country.
Two or three declarations by Repub-
lican leaders of national prominence
will be sufficient to show what is the
great issue.
Ex-senator Edmunds says:
The safety of the nation and the
maintenance of our national honor de-
mand the election of a sound-money
house. 1t is plain from the declaration
of the Democratic leaders that they
still regard the money question as the
principal issue between the two par
ties. The election of Democratic
house would mean the immediate pas
sage of bill providing for the double
standard. Such calamity would be
worse than the war with Spain or the
yellow fever epidemic among our
troops.
Senator Lodge says:
1t (the Democratic party) has. in
Massachusetts. the courage of its opin-
ion. 1t announces in it's platform that
1t adhered to the principles of the Chi
cago platform, and every congressman
running on the Democrats ticket in
my state is ayowed and outspoken for
free silver. GA voice: Three cheers
for Bryan!) Now, that is real Dem

SUMMIT COUNTY TRIcKsTERs

Park City, Nov. 8.
To the Editor of The Herald:
The Republicans in their county conven-
ton have charged the Democrats with in
| competence and extravaganza, but have
not made any pretence of specifying any
thing, either in their platform or from
the stump
They are now trying to make political
capital outside of Park City out of the
fact that the present Democratic COM
! missioners had stricken from the tax roll
"a. ,..Operty that was destroyed in the
recent big fire and Try to show them that
they had to stand the consequent increase
of taxes through this action of the Demo-
Gratis. This l presume, is their charge
of extravaganza.
When the Republican commissioners
were retiring on Dec. 81 1895, they pub
lished a statement showing that there
was a balance on hand of over $11OO0 in
the county fund, but they did not take
into consideration that over Si,UO0 belonged
in the school fund, and there were out
standing warrants that made an over
draft on the county funds of S54.
At the same time the clerk filed his an
nual report showing that there should
be over S11. goo on hand. The treasurer s
report was read showing about $500 on
hand (without considering outstanding
warrants). Both reports were approved
by the commissioners, although there was
a discrepancy of over 1000 unexplained.
The above showed gross carelessness
and incompetence or desire to deceive
the people of this county by publishing a
false statement of county affairs in order
to pretend they had turned over to the
Democrats more than they did.
We had their published statement and
our corrected statement, showing the
discrepancies printed in the Park Record
in March, 1897, and there. has been no
attempt made to dispute it since. Yours
truly, F. ]. MCLAUGHLIN.

ocratic leader Naughter) There is a
perfect Illustration of it. They don't
mean honest money. They mean free
silver, and every honest Democrat, like
my friend at the back of the hall who
has just shouted, is for Bryan and the
1 Democrats of Massachusetts have
openly announced that free silver is
their platform. 1t is all wrong, but
they are not timid and Skulking and
sneaking. They are not going about
in my state and saying that they will
not tell on which side they are on for
fear they may ALLEVIATE some voter. l
do not know how that attitude is go
| ing to take in this state, but the eff
feet in my state would be to leave
man who uttered that principle with
out either silver or gold votes. Qaugh-
ter and cheers.) Now. what does it
mean? The Democrats in this state
have said nothing. But we know they
| are for free silver. If the next house
is a Democratic house they will pass
a free silver bill, and every congress-
man on the Democratic ticket, whether
they said or not beforehand what they
were going to do, is going to vote for
free silver, because it is the Democratic
doctrine. But if they pass free silver
bill it cannot become law. 1t probably
! cannot get through the senate. be-
| cause we are going to have a Repub-
lican senate; but if it did get through
the senate it could never get by the
White House.
The New York Commercial .Adver-
tiser in an editorial entitled ''Democ-
racy for Free Silver" says:
If any doubt has existed that the
Democratic party intends to keep the
| free silver issue to the front it will be
| dispelled by the result of an inquiry
just made by the Chicago Tribune into
| the attitude taken on the money ques-
ton by Democratic congressional nomi-
mating conventions in all parts of the
country Out of 347 conventions, rep
resenting all but ten of the congress
/ have explicitly endorsed the Chicago
| ter either by taking no action on it or
| by making some vague reference to
! the ime-honored principles of the
| stance was Organism condemned or
the gold standard upheld.
In the face of such declarations as
these, can any one doubt whether sill
yer is an issue in this campaign, and
where the Democratic and Republican
parties stand on it?
Silver is the great issue of the cam
paign. The Democratic party is for
it and the Republican party is against
it. And the declarations in their re
spective platforms are proof positive
of this fact.

REPUBLICAN, INTOLERANCE.
American Fork. Nov.

American Fork, Nov. B.
To the Editor of The Herald:
The Democratic candidates for Utah
county, at the suggestion of their chair
man, allowed short biographical sketches
of themselves to be printed, and selected
as the paper for this purpose the Ameri-
can Fork World, that being the only
Democratic paper published in the coun-
ty outside of Provo. The editor. who
is a Democrat, did not inform the Re-
publican local committee of the intended
publication until the paper containing the
writeup made it's appearance. This morn
ing Messrs. A. X. Thornton. Peter
Adamson and E. H. Boley, prominent Re
publicans of this place, together with
Bishop w. D. Robinson, Republican can
didate for commissioner. called in group
on the World and requested to have their
papers stopped, stating that they would
not support a local Democratic paper.
If local papers have to sacrifice independ-
ence to crafty the wishes of every rabid
partisan set, they may as well shut uD
shop. This. we understand, the World
has no intention of doing.
FAIR PLAY.

taxation to properly provide for public
expenditures.
Democrats believe that the taxing
power can only be constitutionally
exercised to raise money for public
purposes.
Republicans believe that the taxing
power can and should be exercised for
the purpose of raising money in aid of
private enterprise; in other words, that
it is legitimate to tax the many for the
benefit of the few.
In view of all this the Democratic
candidates for the legislature, every
where throughout the state, should be
elected.
