REPUBLIcANIsM AND SILVER

Those persons possessed of the idea
that there is any hope for silver in the
Republican party, would do well to
disabuse their minds of any such false
idea. So far as the silver question is
concerned, there is neither balm nor
healer for it in the Republican party.
The Philadelphia Ledger, comment
ing on Republicanism in Colorado,
says:
The Colorado Republicans
reckon without their host if they i'm
agine that the national Republican
party is to juggle any further with So
called bimetallism. The country is now
practically on a single standard, that
of gold, and if that standard is to be
departed from, it will be by the Demo-
Gratis. Populists or silverltes, and not
by the Republicans. The Wolcott Re
publicans would have been wiser if
they had frankly declared that they in
tended to stand by the party, although,
as silverites, they could not approve
the position of the party on the cur
rency question. The time for Quibbling
in party platforms is past. Henceforth
the Republican party is for the gold
standard, and the Colorado Republic
ans and other dissenters must be made
to appreciate that fact. An internatiOn-
al agreement on the 16 to 1 ratio, or any
other fixed ratio, is out of the question,
and Republican policy, therefore, is
favorable to the maintenance of the
gold standard, the only standard under
which all of our obligations can be kept
at 100 cents to the dollar.
The time for clubbing in party plat
forms on the silver question has passed.
and those who have honest convictions
on it no longer 90 so. 1t is downright
double dealing and hypocrisy to declare
for free silver in the same platform
that endorses the Mckinley adminis-
tration; and that is precisely what the
platform of the Republican party of
Utah does.
1t is not many weeks since Mark
Hanna was in the west While in yell
lowstone park he told a prominent citi-
zen of this state that he did not propose
that the great name and prestige of the
Republican party should be used to
further the silver cause, or to give it
any countenance whatsoever. That de-
fines the true Republican attitude
towards silver as it is.
If the people of Utah have a real
desire to further the cause of silver,
and we believe they have, they should
not try to further that interest through
the Republican party. That is the
party of the single gold standard, the
party that repudiates free silver.

THE BoND-IsSUE ISSUE.

Congressman Bailey of Texas, in a
recent speech, said the policy Of the
Democrats in congress next winter will
be to attack the Republicans for is
suing bonds. The St Louis Globe
Democrat, commenting on this state
ment, says that the people will see
that while the Republicans issued $780,
100000 of bonds to meet the demands
of war which nobody supposed OF had
a right to suppose would end so soon,
the Democrats. in the second admins
tration of President Cleveland, issued
S262, OoC, 600 bonds in a period of pro-
found peace. The Republicans,
of course, will be overjoyed by the
springing of this Democratic bond is
sue on the country. The issue will not
come until congress meets in. December,
and thus cannot be used by the Re-
puhlicans in the. congressional canvass
this year, but it will be of great serv~
ice to them in the presidential canvass
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-25

two years hence. It will force COM
parison between Democratic and Re-
publican financial methods. which dis
Greet Democrats always desire to shun.
Thus the people will not only be re-
minded that the Democracy under
Cleveland sold more bonds in time
of peace than the Republicans have
done in foreign war, but they will
learn that the condition of the treasury
is immeasurably better now than it
was even after Cleveland's immense
gold borrowing had taken place"
Yes, Mr.. Cleveland did issue some
$262, 100000 bonds during his second adj
ministration, and he did it in further
ance of the Republican financial policy
to preserve the gold standard. And
he received the plaudits of the Re
publican papers of the country, includ-
ing the Globe-Democrat. They all said
his action was the most patriotic pos
sible, and that he deserved the praise
of all the people. Our St. Louis con-
temporary should consult its files of a
few years back and it would see how
contemplate its reference to the bond
issues under MI. Cleveland is.
The Republicans will hardly be over
joyed at the springing of the bond issue
before it is all over. Before it is all
over they will wish there had never
been any bond issue, and that the au-
thors of it were in purgatory.

THE WAR INVESTIGATION COM.
MISSION.

The commission to investigate the
conduct of the war department during
the war with Spain has been complet-
ed, and has held its first meeting. The
personnel of the commission is such as
to command respect and confidence,
but after all it will have to be judged
by its method of conducting the inves-
! tigation and the result of it's labors.
The commissions position is by no
| means an enviable one.
The administration of the war de-
partment during the war has called
forth the severest criticisms from the
press and people OF the whole country.
and this without regard to party. The
seYerest criticisms have come from the
men who volunteered for the war, and
who have had experience Of the war de-
partment's bad management; and these
in letters to their friends at home. So
far as press criticisms are concerned
the very severest that have appeared
have been in Republican papers, such
as the New York Press and the Phila-
delphia Ledger.
No matter from what sources the
charges emanate, the important thing
now is that they are 10 be investigated
Constituted as the commission is, can
there be a thorough and exhaustive in
vestigation? 1t is to be feared there
cannot be, for the commission will have
no power or authority to compel the
attendance of witnesses or TO make
them testify when in attendance. Those
ton that might be helpful to the com
mission, but injurious to the war de-
partment, will be disinclined to give
it up voluntarily, for they know, es-
pecially if they are in the military ser
vice, that their superiors can make
things very uncomfortable for them;
this they would not dare to do if wit
nesses only testified in obedience to the
mandate of a tribunal having power
to compel them to testify.
All this viii hamper the commission
N its work, and if the result Of its la
bors is unsatisfactory all around, elicit
ing no particular information, coming
to no definite conclusions, the explana-
ton will be made that the commission
could not help this, as it had not au-
thority to compel the attendance of
witnesses. 1t is this very fact that has
caused SO many distinguished citizens
to decline to serve upon it.
Any inquiry into the conduct of the
war should be conducted by a commits
sion having full powers to compel the
attendance Of witnesses and the pro-
duction of documents of all kinds. 4
can accomplish little or nothing. 1t is
possible that congress, when it meets,
may give the present commission the
powers it now lacks.

CENTRAL AMERICAN COMBINE
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
MEETS MANY OBSTACLES.
Salvador Wants a Rake-off On the
Revenues-States May Refuse to-
Surrender Their Arms.

Correspondence of the Associated PreSs.)
Managua, Nicaragua, Sept. 5.-The
delegates who are daily holding meet
ings at this place for the purpose of
deciding upon the articles of the con-
stitution to be formulated for the pro-
posed United States of Central Amer
ica,'' to be composed of the states of
Salvador. Honduras and Nicaragua,
have had serious differences, the rep
reSentatives of Nicaragua and Hondu-
rs voting in some instances Solidly or
nearly so in opposition to the views of
the delegates from Salvador. One con-
tention was in regard TO the finances
of the proposed federal government.
All the delegates conceded that the fed
eral government should control the Gus
tom houses and collect the duties, but
these delegates declared that one-half
of the duties collected from their state
should be returned to Salvador, be-
cause that country imported as much
or more than Nicaragua and Honduras
combined The convention voted
against this, however, but the next day,
as q disruption was evident, from
protest published in the newspapers by
the SalVadorean delegates, the conven-
ton agreed, in order to smooth mat
tiers over, that one-half the revenues
collected by the federal government
state should be paid TO the state. The
Salvadorean representatives are evil
IDENTIFY not satisfied with several arti-
Giles that have been adopted over their
vetoes by the other delegates.
The members of the convention have
declared themselves at present the sole
and supreme opponents of the Will OF
the states and people of Salvador, Hon
duras and Nicaragua and therefore ig-
more the edict of the Greater Repub-
lie of Central America" which they
apply through the state governments,
and will not submit the constitution
nominally formulated for the states
and people to the people for approval
or disapprOval
Many critics of the work of the con-
ventiOn declare that when the presi-
dents of the states are ordered by the
federal government, on its Organiza-
ton, in compliance with the new con-
stitution, TO deliver to the federal gov
eminent the cannon, rifles and NUM-
tions of war and soldiers in the various
states, there will be much opposition
and that some of the presidents will de-
lay or refuse altogether to comply with
the order and thus prevent the estab-
lishment of the United States of Cen
trail America. 1t is believed the posi-
tions and even lives of some of the
presidents of the Central American
countries depend solely upon the fact
that they vigilantly control personally
or through paid satellites, all the arms,
munitions of war and soldiers in their
respective states.

AGUINALDo'S APPEAL.

If not a great man, Aguinaldo is
surely a shrewd man. He is an excel
lent master of himself, and succeeds
admirably in subordinating himself to
his policies.
He has just issued an appeal to the
powers to recognize the insurgent gov
eminent and aid it in its ambition for
freedom. The appeal is to all powers,
and this, of course includes the United
States, though it is undoubtedly in
tended to be an appeal to the powers
against this country. In many respects
it is very inviting to those powers that
have ambitions in the Orient, though if
they heed it in the spirit in which it is
issued, it could profit them nothing: it
is a tempting occasion to step in and
try to thwart what the powers probably
believe to be the ambitions of the
United States in the Philippines. They
will scarcely care to do this if they
are not to divide the carcass for them
selves.
There is another reason why they
will hesitate TO give heed to this APP
peal. To do so would be to recognize
the right of Instruction, and to recog-
niZe that would be to encourage in
surrection at home This they cannot
and viii not do. Already they find it
hard enough to repress revolution
within their own borders.
1t looks as though Aguinaldo's appeal
would produce no other fruit than to
elicit commentator for the mastery
manner in which he frames public doc
uments. He is entitled to praise for
this

coNcEALING THE ISSUES.


The people, of Utah should not be
blinded to the real issues of this cam
paign by appeals to prejudice or eff
forts to renew an old fight along lines
which have been wiped out, concern
ing conditions which are adjusting
themselves quite as rapidly as one may
expect.
1t viii not be wise to allow a dis
gruntled boss and an unreliable organ
to mislead a voter into aiding the
goldbug party. either directly or indi-
rectly.
The Republicans of Utah, through
their organ, are trying to elect Alma
Eldredge, an administration man, to
congress by making personal attacks
upon his opponent, B. H. Roberts. AS
Mr.. Eldredge is quietly appropriating
the benefits, whatever they may be,
of these assaults upon Mr.. Roberts, it
is but natural to infer that Mr.. Ed
redge endorses and approves them. lie
may whisper around that he does not
favor such campaign methods. but he
has not had the manhood yet to pub
I licly repudiate them.
The Republican organ opposed Mr..
Roberts for congress in 1895, but it
claims to have done so solely and ex-
clusively because ''he was a Demo-
erat." Today it opposes him for other
reasons entirely, for matters which it
refused to consider in 1885
The conditions are the same now as
tfatr hut !,
gan is different, that is ALL 1t was
playing for certain support in those
days. It is forsaken and sore today.
There are no worthy motives behind
its fight on Mr.. Roberts It has sup
ported, in times gone by, everything it
condemns these days. 1t has condoned
all that it is at present spluttering
over
Voters of Utah should remember
these things. They should not forget
that the real object of these personal
attacks upon B. i. Roberts is to secure
the election of a McKinlayite to con-
gress.
And the voters of Salt Lake county
should bear in mind that c cry Repub-
lican candidate for the legislature and
for a county office is pledged to all of
McKinley's policies, financial and
otherwise; that administration Repub
licans predominant on the ticket. and
that all are running on a Mckinley
platform.
There is a plank in the Republican
state platform which ratifies and re-
affirms every policy ably put forth and
advocated by President Mckinley" and
the Republican county platform of Salt
Lake county endorses the state plat
form in full.
The Herald has already stated that it
does not purpose to defend Mr.. Rob
erts or any other candidate on the
Democratic ticket from personal at
tacks. They are able to fight their own
battles. The only object in mention
ing this matter at ALL is to show the
animus behind the fight and the dan
ger of losing sight of the real issues of
the campaign.

upon the issue of approving or con-
