ITS TARIFF RECORD.

Our morning contemporary is very
much annoyed over its tariff record. 1t
has repeatedly declared that the tariff
ought to be left severely alone until
the financial issue is settled. 1t has
told its readers time and again that
no tariff could help the people until
after the restoration of silver coinage.
1t has said more than once that the
fight should be for silver alone until
a bimetallic victory was assured.
Now it complains that The Herald
and not the page in full; that para
graphs are reproduced when some
where in the article an admission of
Dingley benefits and prosperity might
be found
Our contemporary is classifying its
own record. and it knows it, If there
were any such assertions to be found
it would have given them, instead of
making an empty complaint.
On the 18th of April, 1885, the Repub-
lican organ contained an editorial re-
monstrating against a tariff agitation
until the settlement of the financial
question. There was not one word in
that article concerning any actual or
alleged benefits to come from a pro-
tective tariff. 1t closed as follows:
No tariff can cure a disease like
that. 1t is useless to give medicine to
a corpse"
There are at least a score of edi-
torials in which our contemporary has
said that the country is beyond the
reach OF any tariff legislation TO help
it; that the only essential thing is free
coinage; that prosperity has not fol-
lowed Dingleyism; and that men who
claim tariff brings prosperity lie.
Last week it printed editorials like
that; this week it denies them. On
the 9th of August, 1898, it did the
same; now it says The Herald is mis-
representing it. On the 5th of October.
1896, it had another. If there is a line
of admission in any of these that the
tariff can help the country under a
Republican administration, let our
neighbor point it out.

LOCAL AFFILIATIONS.

So-called silver Republicans" who
have followed the alleged silver Re
publican" organ back into the regular
Hanna fold, are either forgetful or in
different.
There was a silver Republican" con-
ference held in this city last April An
address was issued by the "silver Re
Dublicans'' Of the state to the voters
the miners, the farmers, the taxpayers
of Utah.
The address appeared April 6, 1898,
six months ago.. In that address the
following independent, ringing declara-
ton occurred:
1--WE point to the fact that the ma
tional Republican party of the United
States has abandoned the cause of
bimetallism, and that local adher-
ence to the national Republican or
ganization is afiliating with gold
recommendation and oppression of the
people"
If local adherence to the national
Republican organization" meant ''af-
filiation with gold monometallism" six
months ago, why doesn't it mean the
same thing today?
If the national Republican party Of
the United States has abandoned the
cause of binetaliism," why did the So
called silver Republican" organization
drop the silver prefix and apply for ad-
mission to the straight Republican
PARTY?
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-10-22
REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION.

The regular Republican organization
is composed of national. state, county
and precinct committees.
Mark Hanna is chairman of the ma
tional Republican committee. He sup
ported Mckinley in 1896. At least that
is the story they tell on him.
Wesley K Walton is chairman of the
state Republican committee of Utah.
MIR. Walton was Mckinley man in
1896, and is yet.
Dennis G Eichnor is chairman of the
county Republican committee of Salt
Lake county. Mr.. Eichnor was a Nc
Kinley man in Utah when they We're
few and far between; he has not
changed.
This is the regular Republican organ
ization which Arthur Brown and the
Salt Lake Tribune are supporting.
Mr.. Brown was with the regular or
ganization two years ago; the organ
was not; it strayed from Leader
Brown; it has returned to him.
Indications are not wanting to show
that the organ never did care for silver
except as a popular theme TO harp on;
it always was more hostile to Democ-
racy than friendly to bimetallism.
Be that as it may. it Will be noticed
that it isn't producing any audible OBJ
jections to Mr.. Browns making the
tariff issue paramount this year.
The organ flayed him for that two
years ago.

Angeles and Portland, Ore, studying
the facilities and advantages that those
cities offer for holding the next conven-
ton Of the association, which meets in
July. 1899. The committee comes to
our city TO see what advantages and
Inducements i offers.
First comes the question of a suitable
building in which 10 hold the sessions
of the convention. The tabernacle is
without d superior for holding the con-
ventions sessions in. 1t affords ample
room and every facility, while its
acoustic properties are unexeelled.
Could the city accommodate the
members of the convention? Yes. Hotel
facilities are exceptionally good and
abundant, while the citizens would
gladly open their houses TO their guests.
The citizens would guarantee sum
sufficient TO defray the conventions
expenses, such expenses as are usually
guaranteed. We think there can be
no doubt on this point
It you'd be to the advantage of MEM
bers CT the convention to come here in
preference TO going to either Los An
geles or Portland. A thousand miles OF
travel would be saved, and the attend
ant expense.
The matter of scenery is always an
important one with those who travel,
and no city in the United States offers
such grand and magnificent scenery as
does Salt Lake City 1t is the one
place in the country named by Pro-
fessor Bryce in his american Com
monwealth" IS remarkable for its
grand vistas.
The city is the center of some of the
greatest mining camps in the country,
most of them being accessible by rail,
and the chief ones but a few hours
ride awa-.
For exclusions to either mountain or
lake the city has no equal
The history of the city and state is
unique, while the city itself is possessed
of characteristics. possessed by none
other in the United States. In this re-
:spect no .oJher city can offer such in
ducements.
The railroads will offer every induce
ment; the city will offer that welcome
and hospitality for which it is so ia
nous.
The executive committee will make
no mistake if it selects this city as the
place for holding the next convention
of the National Educational associa-
ton. Let every inducement be offered
the committee to select it.

THE COUNTYS CREDIT.

1t certainly seems that Republicans
should be ashamed to go before the
people of Salt Lake county this year
and ask taxpayers to return them to
power. /
The Republican record of extrava-
gance in the administration of county
affairs, i'll the handling of public funds,
is fresh in the minds of the people
The Republicans went out of office
1897, leaving q deficit of $1S7, SOS91. Let
taxpayers go to the records and exam
inc for themselves.
1T is not necessary TO make long
winded explanations. to cast unfounded
insinuations, based upon personal ami
mosities. The Herald's review of coun-
ty business is not prompted by enmi-
ties. Men are not issues. The records
speak for themselves.
The present county administration
had To take care of the bonded debt
and that deficit. 1t was a knotty prob
lem, but the Democrats are solving ii.
They are reducing expenses, wiping
out the floating Indebtedness left by
Republican officials. lowering assessed
valuations, and redeeming the credit of
the county.
When the Democratic commissioners
entered upon the discharge of their
official duties they found county war
rants discounted and debased- Today
the county warrants are as good as

Taxpayers cannot afford to vote for
a return to Republican methods.

SOME SILVER HISTORY.
on Mr.. Roberts speech

Commenting on Mr.. Roberts speech
at Murray, the Tribune says:
At that time the government was
absorbing into the currency OF the
country $500 600 of silver monthly.
! Well, Mr.. Cleveland at once called an
extraordinary session Of congress anc
repealed that law and took from the
American miner all market for his
silver, anywhere under the flag. That
accounted for the accent wheat in 1894.
That was the elimination of 16 years
of promising by the Democratic party,
and those who made the promises We're
much more distinguished Democrats
than any Democrats who are shouting
free silver in Utah today.
In the very first sentence here quoted
there is q glaring misstatement of fact.
In 1893 the government was not "ab-
sorbing into the currency of the coun-
try $4SOG,OOO of silver monthly" 1t was
purchasing, under the law of July H.,
1890 C1nown as the Sherman law), H.
10000 ounces of silver per month. The
price Of silver in 1898 was .7S031 per
ounce, making the amount that the
producer of silver got some Sc, 100000
9er month.
in 1893 by Mr.. Cleveland, and the Dur-
chasing clause of the Sherman law was
repealed. Had the Republicans not
have aided Mr.. Cleveland, had they
not been his mainstay. it would never
have been repealed. The author Of the
law. Senator Sherman. was the great
champion of the repeal of the purchas-
ing clause OF the law that bore his
name. just as he was the great cham
pion of the law Of February Il, 1873, the
law that struck the silver dollar from
the list of coins henceforth to be coined.
Senator Sherman. the champion of
repeal and the most distinguished
financier in the Republican party, o.
posed every proposition for aiding sill

the purchasing clause was under con-

SILVER, SHERMAN, M'KINLEY.

Silver was demonetiZed in the same
surreptitious way that the Republicans
of Utah are trying to elect a McKin-
leyite to congress.
John Sherman. the author of the bill
that debased silver, was rewarded by
President Mckinley with an important
place in his cabinet. This showed that
the service of 1873 was fully a9pre-
ciated.
John Sherman determined to fasten
the gold standard upon this country
away back in the eos. But how to ac-
compiish it without provoking comment
or attracting attention puzzled him for
several years.
on the 18th of May, 1867, Mr.. Sher-
man favored a gold standard and
urged it upon the international none
tary conference on coinage. weights
and measures" then IN session at
Paris.
The gold standard was adopted in a
great measure, upon the representa-
lions of Mr.. Sherman, who was believed
10 represent the sentiment of the gov
er,Iment.
On the 18th day of February, 1868. a
bill was introduced by Senator Sher-
man demonetizing silver. The scheme
was too apparent, and was defeated.
Two other bills leading uD to the
same matter were passed without no
tice or suspicion.
Then Senator Sherman tried it again.
on the 18th of October, 1870. he sue
ceeded in getting through the senate a
bill which enumerated silver coins to be
issued. emitting the dollar. The bill
died in the house.
on the 9Th of the next March it was
introduced again by another distin-
guished Republican, Mr.. Kelley of
Pennsylvania. 1t passed without many
of The members being let into the secret

1t was taken w, considered and
passed in the senate on the 18th of jan
uary. 1873.
That was "the Sherman act of 1873.
Its author was one of the few men in
congress who voted for the measure

place in McKinley's cabinet.

GERS for the benefit of the depositor;
provided, that it shall be lawful to re-
fuse, at the mint. any deposit of less
value than S100. and any bullion so
base as to be unsuitable for the opera
tons of the mint. And, provided fur

at the mint, any deposit of silver coin

the mines and smelters of the United
States"
Senator John Sherman voted against
the amendment.
On Oct. 49, 1898. Senator Berry Of

same is hereby revived and re-enacted
into full force and effect"
Senator John Sherman voted against
that amendment.
Senator John Sherman voted against
the Allen amendment; he voted against
the Blackburn amendment; against the
second Stewart amendment, and
Squire's. ali having substantially the
same object in view
But Senator Sherman did not vote
against everything. On Oct. 30, 1893
the bill for the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law was put
upon its final passage. Senator John
Sherman voted for the repeal of the
clause And of the 10 who voted for
repeal (the vote was yeas. 40: nays.
50: not voting, 100, tine Overwhelming
majority lit was almost two-thirds)
were Republicans, just as the over
whelming majority who voted against
repeal were Democrats. 1t was the
same in the votes on the various
amendments having for their object the
establishment OF free coinage of sill
yer.
The Democratic party, in national
convention, has repudiated Mr.. Cleve-
lands silver policy. The Republican
party, in national convention, has ap-
proved of the act of Feb. II, 1873, strik-
ing down silver and institIting the sin
gle gold standard. And today President
Mckinley and the Republican party
are pledged to the enactment of laws
whose purpose is to strengthen the ex-
listing gold standard.
The Democratic party is today the
champion of the silver cause. Today
the Republican party is the enemy of
silver, and the champion of the single
gold standard. Does the Tribune deny
this?

AS TO "ASIATic METHODS
To the Editor of The Herald:

To the Editor of The Herald:
ID What paper do You mean when you
refer to the Republican organ?" %
What is meant by ''Asiatic methods" that
the Republican organ" you speak of
said that Brother Roberts was trained
to from childhood?" SANDY.
% The organ of the reunited Re
publican or Hanna party IN Utah is
generally conceded to be the Tribune.
(2) 1t is not an easy matter to inter
pref Tribune editorials. but when it
referred to 3. H. Roberts as having
been from childhood trained to Asiatic
methods" il must have meant his re-
ligious training.
There is no other reasonable interpre-
tation to put upon the matter.

CAPTAIN DUcAT's EXPERIENCE

Few stories of the Santiago cam
paign and its horrors have the epic
directness- and simplicity of the nara
tive given by Captain Ducat Thursday
evening at the entertainment for the
Washington memorial fund.
Those who heard his simple forceful
statement of the situation in the hos
pitfalls and ON the transports that
brought the wounded men home, were
impressed with the fearful mismanage-
ment of affair that could have pro-
duced such awful conditions.
No shrieSing, raving yellow journal
has printed such an arraignment Of the
general staff of the army as was con-
veyed by that story OF the officer who
was wounded in the trenches, was
carried for miles on an improvised liz
ter. dumped face downward into the
mud before the hospital tent. was left
there for hours without attention, and
suffered the agonies of death without
finding the rest that death brings.
Even here the disgraceful neglect
might have been excused, if it had not
been prolonged through the journey
homeward on a ship whose reeking
odors and inadequate provision made
it unfit for any human, much less for
humans suffering from wounds and ex-
p0sure.
The investigating commission which
has found such delightful condition
of affairs in army administration may
bring in q verdict to suit the presi-
dent, or it may not; those who heard
the Ducat story have already reached a
finding, and it is not of the kind to
make patriot proud of the secretary
of war and his subordinates, who are
responsible for such treatment of the
