the lily of France may fade. The sham
rock of Ireland may disappear, but the
stars of America are eternal, and this
principle is as lasting MS the stars. The
policy of Democracy never dies until all
issues are settled. and settled right.
What do they offer. these men, Ar
thur Brown, c. O. Whittemore. Glen
Miller and Alma Eldredge, who devised
this bunco platform which offers moth
ing to those who have looked to mother
earth for the metals of which we make
our money?
They offer us a protection which does
not protect; reciprocity with big R.
and silver with small s. Very small
and weak. Laughter.)
What does reciprocity mean? Do you
suppose Mr.. Eldredge can tell? CAD
plause.)
Really, this reciprocity is a sort of
you-uckle me-and-Fll-tickle-yo bust
ness. A proposition to take from con-
gress the power to levy tariff and dele
gate it to one man, who may raise and
lower it at will. We claim all taxes
should fall equally on all men, without
discrimination against any section of
the country. They offer as q substitute
reciprocity.
We claim the tariff is no issue But
they are attending to force the same
upon us as an issue They claim the
benefit of the Dingley bill means much
for Utah. Why, that bill represents
more corruption than any measure of
a similar nature ever enacted. 1t dis
eliminates in favor o fthe east and
against the people of the west. Why
at the time the bill was pending Sugar
trust certificates went from $115 to
s1.45 and the Sugar trust made $50 000,-
600 by the passage of the bill. If. as
they say, tariff raises prices, why is it
that lead is now $3.50, when 1t was
S3.S5 at the time the bill was passed?
How do they explain the fall in the
price Of wheat. They claim the tariff
has raised the price of wool Why, the
! tariff on the kinds of wool we produce
is more than we get for it. Their tariff
I law went uD like a rocket, and came
down like a stick. Because the law of
supply and demand governs, and tariff
cuts no figure.
! Abiding to the claim that the Repub-

/ Colonel Ellis declared that any party

statement
! Colonel Ellis then spoke of the SUI

sidered Mr.. Basl5in, and so did the
members Of the bar generally and the
public at large, a man of sterling in
tegrity and great ability as a lawyer.
In closing, the colonel paid an eloquent

Senator Matte Hughes Cannon was

Cannon, quoting from the Hon. John
Henry Smith, said she would address
a few words to the ladies. She referred
TO women in the east writing to and
4 giving advice to the women of Utah.
Politics was doing a great deal for the
women of Utah in the way of educa-
ton. 1t had been decided that it was
not sufficient for ladies of the east, the
rich and the well born, to give of their
money by the thousand to aid their
less highly favored sisters. To sue
coed, it is necessary that they give a
portion OF themselves. They must go
and see their poorer sisters in their
