AN ADMINISTRATION VICTORY


Some friction is unavoidable at a
convention of goldites and silverites
where both claim rights and expect
concessions. And, according to the
degree of sincerity in their respective
professions, the friction will be much
or little. There was considerable in
the Colorado Republican convention; in
the Utah convention there was very
little
True, the sergeant-at-arms had a
row with some of the delegates, but
this was over an order from the chair,
and not about the endorsement of Nc
Kinley's policy or the adoption of a
silver plank.
The permanent chairman was Arthur
Brown, which clearly showed the COM
plexion of the convention. With
platform aimed at Senator Cannon,
and Senator Brown in the saddle, it
would seem that the so-called silver
Republicans of Utah have undergone a
change of heart since 1886. If we re-
member correctly, there was some talk
Of lynching Brown when he returned
from the st. Louis convention, while,
on the other hand, elaborate prepara-
tionst were made and a rousing recep-
ton was rendered Cannon
Had anyone told the Republicans who
participated in that ovation that two
years would not elapse before they
would select Arthur Brown as chair
man of their state convention, and
that Frank Cannon would be left out
in the cold entirely, they would have
resented it as a slanderous insinuation.
But that very thing has come to pass.
Administration Republicans dictated
the platform and made the ticket.
Bouquets were thrown to the women
and sop to the silver crowd, but an
administration ticket was named, and
the platform is an endorsement of Nc
Kinley's entire policy.
Judge Zane will not prove a tower
of strength to the party, although his
nomination was by reclamation. He
Will receive but few Democratic
votes, if any, and there are many Re
publicans who are whetting their
knives for chance at. his scalp-lock.
The nomination of Alma Eldredge
was engineered by Judge Zanes sup
porters for the purpose of balancing
the ticket geographically and religious
". It is not strong selection. and
reminds one somewhat of the Holbrook
nomination of two years ago.
Both nominees are administration
men. They are now and were in 1896
If the silver men" of the party are
contented with the sun-dried silver
plank of 1895, which was jabbed into
the platform for them to- tie to, they
are capable of a humility and self
denial which would be commendable if
exercised in a better cause.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-10
THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican platform is "all
things to all men" 1t contains an I'M
qualified endorsement of president
Mckinley and the policies ably pro-
posed and accomplished by him. 1t
also declares for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver as set forth in the
platform of 1895, before the national
organization had defined the policy of
the party.
President Mckinley was elected on a
straight fight for the single standard.
The Republican party, under the very
business-like leadership of Chairman
Hanna, won upon this issue. Its most
conspicuous honors, and the achieve
ment of its present power, are based
upon a corrupt fight made for the gold
standard in 1896.
And when the Republicans of Utah
renew their "fealty to the Republican
party and to the principles upon which
its honors and achievements have been
Won" they cannot deny that such feal-
ty must cover the leading issues upon
which Mr. Mckinley was elected presi-
dent
The platform also commends 1.-The
"grald and able management of the
war by the administration. Score
tary Alger may add this to the very
limited number of eulogies he has re-
cefved since peace restored to men the
liberty TO speak their thoughts
But the main plank in this patchwork
platform is the one which refers to the
tariff. Utah and the whole country are
congratulated upon the great imam
cial success of the Republican doctrine
of protection as expressed and fulfilled
in the Dingley bill"
There is no question but ''the great
financial success" of many well known
citizens of the east may be traced to
some such measure, and that trusts
have thrived under its benefcent infiu-
ence. Some doubt exists as TO whether
all classes have been benefited alike,
however.
For a man to get the support of the
state Republican organization for the
senate or house of congress, the plat
form AYERS that ne must be known
supporter of the principles of the
Dingley bill" No other requirement
is exacted; and. while free coinage
plank is inserted, it does not appear
to hamper in the least a senator or
member of the house who simply fills
the Dingley BIZ
Protection has been and shall be the
cornerstone of Republicanism," say
the members of the reunited party.
Other sections refer to the county
question and a few state laws some
body wants changed or repealed.
Take it all in all it is very clever
document, and fully as consistent as an
endorsement of the administration by
silver men," and an endorsement of
free coinage by gold men" can be
made

TALES OF THE DAY.
Gladstone and John Bright.

The story about Gladstone and Bright
told by Frank Holl, the artist, is an old
one. but it has been brought out again:
When Mr.. Bright was sitting for his por-
trait. so Mr.. Holl told the story. Mr.. Holl
hazarded the remark: "It must be very
painful thing for you, Mr.. Bright, that
after all these years you should have
found cause to sever your connection
Indeed it is" responded Mr.. Bright,
with sigh. ito think that after we have
trodden the same path together, Shout
der to shoulder and hand in hand. we
should be forced apart in the evening of
our lives. And by what? BY a DOGGY
that has risen up within him, and is
reckoning him away from duty and sense,
by his own Frankanstcins mr7Ster. Do
you know. Mr.. HoIl ! seriously fear
that my dear old friends mind has really
become radically undermined
When was painting Mr.. Gladstone the
subject of Mr.. Bright's portrait cropped
up. Ali said Mr.. Gladstone. with
much interest, and how did you find
him.? Fairly well. and he spoke very
affectionately of you. Mr.. Gladstone
Did he, indeed" replied he sorrowfully.
did he. indeed? All that was a cruel
blow. That after lifetime of mutual
esteem and of good work carried through
together we should be divided on so clear
a question! Tell me, Mr. Holr'-and here
his mouth twitched and his voice shook
with great emotion-"tell me- did you
observe anything in the manner of my
old friend which would lead you to be-
lieve that his reason was becoming in
any way unhinged?''

TARIFF AND EXPANSION.

A platform that favors territorial ex-
pansion and the Dingley idea of pro
tettion is a paradox.
The policy of a protective tariff is to
restrict trade and its tendency is to
erect a high wall, with a stran of
barbed wire on top of it, all around the
country.
America for Americans has been
q catch phrase of Republican stump
speakers since Mckinley first sprang
into prominence as a tariff elevator in
congress. I'VE must keep out foreign
goods, as their presence on the market
brings home labor into indirect COM
petition with the pauper labor of Eu-
rope" This was an appeal which car
ried conviction to the hearts of work
ingmen and enabled the party of pro-
lection and gold to win success.
But the annexation of other lands
means more markets. new customers
and trade extension. If the trouble
and expense entaiied in governing new
acquisitions were equal to the benefits

WHOSE IS THE MURDERER'S
HAND?

Back from the war they are coming,
Back to their heart-worshiped land.
Hearts with weak efforts are drumming
Feeble the fever-torn breath,
Every wan face of our heroes
By wings of dread pestilence famed,
Warriors brave
On the brink of the gravel
Whose is the murderer'S hand?
Prompt at the summons to duty
Marched they away to the fight,
Models of physical beauty.
Eyes with pure loyalty bright;
Now to their homes they're returning.
Back to their heart-worshipped FInd,
Gasping for breath.
Wrestling with DEATH
Whose is the murderers hand?
Hundreds, aye, thousands are sleeping
Down in that island of pain.
Thousands of stricken ones weeping
Call for their loved ones in vaini
o. that they'd persisted in battle,
Fighting for principles grand,
Why We're they wrecked
Through official neglect?
Whose is the murderer'S hand?
Right on the threshold of plenty
Scores of our valiant ones died.
CRYING to hearts that were flinty,
Succor to them was denied.
Blaze on the heavens the query,
There let it glaringly stand,
Bright as the sun,
Till justice is done:
Whose is the murderer's hand?'

volunteer than the other Spaniards
were. may be found the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
When it isn't assailing Bryan it is
defending Alger. Its dislike for a

intense, but not more so than its de-

ment. the Third Nebraska"

from our maritime hermitage. is cer-
tainly pleasing one. But there are
other matters to consider besides the
satisfaction of witnessing the surren-
der of protectionists. There is the cost,
the army required, political corruption
to contend with, and people to subju-
gate who have nothing in common with
civilization.
This reciprocity idea is nothing in
the world but backdown, gradual
backdown of protectionists.- Territorial
expansion is another move in the same
direction. They discovered that trade
restriction was bound to work an in
jury on the people of this country But
so much had been said and written In
defense of a protective tariff that a
total abandonment of the policy at
once meant party shame. 1t would
have beens a confession of error And
the fertile brain OF Blaine evolved the
reciprocity dodge
Still the market is too circumscribed;
the opportunities to do business are in
adequate 10 the eHtISy anu ms SAA%AieS
of the people of the United States; and
a little more free trade is wanted. A
few millions more of consumers are
sought 1t doesn't matter that annex

bringing of the cheapest kind OF pau
per labor" into direct competition with
American workmen. In this lust for
territory the laborer is forgotten.
Protection is fraud. 1t is a system
of robbery And, while Republicans
deny this charge, they are making es-
pecial efforts to extend free trade. They
go farther than the Democrats go IN
this direction. Democrats believe in a
tariff for revenue levied on all alike.
Republicans believe in prohibitory
tariff against some countries and abso-
lutte free trade with others.
The whole trend of the Republican
party is to get away from tariff protec-
ton as fast and as far as possible.

ORIGIN OF YANKEE DOODLE,

The tune Yankee Doodle seems to
belong TO America only by adoption. its
origin being very obscure. In ISIS Buck
