TWO WARS INCLUDED.

Our evening contemporary calls at
tention to the fact that our death list
in the Philippines includes the three
months of Spanish war as well as the
nine months of Tagal war and the six
months which interviewed.
The total loss by death in the two
wars amounted to 1905 men, Con-
sidering the fact that only one man
was killed in the naval battle off Santi-
ago and that the battle of Manila bay
was fought and won without the loss
of single American life during the
engagement this is a very startling
total.
inadvertently The Herald attributed
this report of the adjutant generals de-
partment TO the war now in progress,
not deeIning it possible that he would
report the casualties of two wars to-
gether. especially since he had already
reported the first one months ago. The
Herald was misled by these circum-
stances and is glad TO correct the error.
1t seems that a majority of the dead
persisted in the pest camps eating the
putrid food furnished by an incom-
petent administration. 1t were better
for Mckinley and those responsible
with him for the conduct of the war and
the care of the army if those 10000
soldiers had fallen in the jungles of
Luzon. 1t would be more to the credit
of his administration that ten regi-
ments of men had been sacrificed in
carrying out mistaken policy than
that one regiment, or one company or
one soldier had died through willful
neglect. criminal ignorance. or mercen-
airy meanness.

CALLISTER,S REVENGE.

Councilman Callister tried TO read the
Republican organ out of the party in
his speech the other evening This is
Callister's revenge. The organ has
been reading Callister out of the party
for year or more. When the city

very clearly demonstrated that if either
had to go it would be Callister He
failed 20 secure a denomination to the
council, while the Republican council
men whom Callister had opposed and
twitted with being under the influence
of their party organ were endorsed by
the convention.
Therefore, we take it, Councilman
Callister is not a recognized authority
On Republicanism-eith in men or

Democrats in the city council for more
than twelve months preceding the re-

water question was up for considera-
ton in the council. His collea CUES re-
garded him as more of a Democrat
than a Republican" as Mr.. Callister
himself has said.

lican organ, even if he is out stamping

The SECRET OF 1T.

this city not long ago. Then why is 1t
that 1.-The syndicate in control of ma
tional affairs wants to retain Che Phil
ippines regardless of expense? Is it to
find an outlet for our surplus popula-
ton? Is it to give US a wider mar

Says the ex-senator from Idaho: we
do not have 20 take in 100000 or TO-
100000 Malays in order TO extend our
trade White men cannot live in these
hot countries. Men of wealth will put
up factories there, employ the cheap
labor OF those islands. and teach the
coolies to manufacture goods to COM

provision of the constitution which pre-
vents trade restrictions between the DIFF
ferent parts of this government, so that
the market will be open to syndicates
who take advantage of the labor they
can employ there for a dollar and
half a month"
Is this the secret of these fresh out

dents hackers who believe that all

national honor, can be figured up by
a bookkeeper and settled with certi-
fed check"

TARIFF AND PROSPERITY.

When the Dingley bill was taken up
in congress soon after President Nc
Kinley's Inauguration, and by the
way. an extra session of congress was
called to pass it. the local Republican
organ said:
Republicans of the west felt their first
real fear of what has come when the
debate was sprung in the senate on the
proposition to bring up the Dingiey bill.
Why were western Republicans
afraid? The answer was that there
was no necessity for tariff legislation:
that the Democratic tariff was plenty
high enough for the needs of the coun-
try and the demand of any reasonable
Republican
The Provo Enquirer demonstrated
with its co-laborer and wanted to know
why the Tribune should oppose the i'm
mediate repeal of the Wilson free
trade law" In answer the Tribune
said:

tariff that ever was, except one. 1t does
not help Utah especially, and we will
tell the provo Enquirer a secret: The

that, having no standing army we do
not understand an army's needs. We

thing; we know that the deficiencies
cannot all be charged to ineompetency
but that they must be put down to
pure rascality; and this could not be
unless some one high in authority was
in collision with the worse than muir
derers.''
This was the opinion of the local Re-
publican organ expressed long after
the end of the war with Spain; and it
added: There has been shameful in
competency and stealing beyond COM
pute. Our country stands disgraced
before the world. and the authors Of
the wrongs perpetrated upon our SOL
diers ought to be punished with
death"
The foe that has done more injury to
the army and to the country than all
the Spaniards and Tagals ever did, is

the troops by unnecessary and bungling

THOSE SEVEN LEAN YEARS.

Why is the Republican organ so fear
city council will take the city back TO
the days of 1890 before the seven years
period ending with 1897 began?
Two years ago the Tribune grieved
itself to skin and bone almost because
the city had ever departed from the
easy times of II mills on the dollar
taxation to enter upon an era of 271z
mills on the dollar.
According TO the signed statement of
P. II. Lannan, c. c. Goodwin. ]. E.
Dolly, eft al, the increase of taxes, of
debts, of office expenses, of wasteful-
ness and official extravaganza between
1890 and 1898 was simply unbearable.
But read their exact language:
Heavy debts, increase of office,
large salaries and consequent Excess
sive taxation have made the bur-
dens upon the people unbearable. In
1890 the aggregate of tax
alton in Salt Lake City was
IL mills; in 1897 it is
271a mills. Even this enormous
figure will not cover current ex-
penses at their present volume; and
when to this is added that the valu-
alton on which this assessment is
made is in many instances greater
than the property is actually worth,
there will be none to dispute that
Salt Lake City bears a burden heav-
Ter than almost any city in the land.
Depreciation in values since 1890
has gone hand in hand with increase
in expenses; the ease with which
public money has bean expended is
only to be compared with the difficult
ty the people have had in supplying
it. All things considered, the state
ment is fairly susceptible of proof
that taxes have increased more than
200 per cent during the seven years,
while the prevailing depression has
many times multiplied the difficult
ties of the taxpayers"
1t was an awful time. that period of
seven years following the retirement of
the church party from civil office in
this city: at least Messrs. P. ii. Lam
nan. C. C. Goodwin, j. f. Dolly ct al.
have said it was an awful time.
And Brutus is an honorable man:
So are they all, all honorable men.
But where in the name of common
sense are they trying to lead the city
now?
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-11-04
HOW TO BE JUST.

The Republican organ is an extremist.
1t maintains that whoever refuses to
denounce the Miners union as an ag-
gregation of cutthroats and every in
dividual member thereof as IAN in
cendiary and a murderer at heart" is
in sympathy with the crimes committed
al Wardner.
This is very silly. 1t includes in its
sweeping denunciation President Com
pers and every prominent labor union
list in the United States. 1t misrepre-
sents them all.
There is a wav TO be just to both
sides-a way the Republican organ
has repeatedly pointed out for its guild
ance The criminals should be pun
ished 10 the limit of the law If Ed
ward Boyce is one of them he should be
punished, too. No exceptions should be
made, no mercy shown. But we
never did believe and have never seen
anything to convince one that every
member of the Miners union is guilty
as charged by the Tribune.
Therefore, The Herald looks upon the
order Of General Merriam and the civil
authorities that men seeking employ
renounce membership in the miners
unions" as an unjust and an un-Amer-
lean edict. the Salt Lake organ of
trusts and militarism to the contrary
Notwithstanding.

SILVER is NOT VERY DEAD.

blow
There is no other issue before the
people today as vital as this" says the
Chicago Times Herald. another staunch
administration supporter.
The St Louis Globe Democrat, than
which Mckinley has no more enthusi-
astic admirer. notes with evident glee
that 1.-THE boilers of 1896 are returning
to the regular Republican organization
without a whimper about the debase-
ment of silver or protest against the
crime of 49, -
Yet Salt Lake Republicans are trying
to deceive the people for obvious rea-
sons, and make them believe that the
silver issue is dead and buried.
Eastern Republicans know better;
Democrats everywhere know better.
and we suspect that western Repub-
licans know better.

DEMOCRATS AND THE WAR.

1t was not necessary for Colonel Will
jam ]. Bryan 70 assure New York
newspaper that he had never at any
time favored the withdrawal of troops
from the Philippines before the estab-
Iishment of peace on the archipelago.
Neither Mr.. Bryan nor any other
Democrat has advocated such with
drawal. The Democratic position was
clearly stated in the Bacon resolution
which reads as follows:
..Resolved. That the United States here
by disclaim any disposition or intention to
exercise permanent sovereignty. Jurisoic-
lion or control over said islands. and as
scrt their determination. when stable

mandcd is an assurance that they will

hans are to get their Independence I'M
der the solemn declarations of this gov
erRment. Why should Republican con-
.-ressGnen withhold it? Why should a
Republican administration deny it?
Simply to furnish an excuse for con-
quest
In the first speech Mr.. Bryan made
on this topic he said: Il believe it is
the duty of this government to recog-
nize as allies the men whom Admiral
Dewey armed and treated as such, and
10 hold out TO them the same hone of
eventual independence that we hold out
to The Cubans: TO assure them that the
purpose % this nation is to establish a
stable government and then turn that
government over TO the Filipinos and
give them independence. I believe fur

PARTY PRINCIPLES.

The New York Sun, one of the most
radical. unreasoning, uncompromising
adherents of the national administra-
ton, says that mo silver man has a
right to call himself Republican" In
fact, all Republican organs of national
reputation express the same opinion.
which is confirmed everywhere by the
declarations of Republican conventions.
1T is nonsense to talk of silver Re-
publicans or gold standard Democrats, -
says the Seattle acknowledgement
"One might as we'll undertake to de-
scribe himself as Christian atheist A
Republican is opposed to silver, a Dem
ccrat to the gold standard"
The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. another Republican organ of
national reputation, explains why it is
necessary to subscribe to the creed of
the single gold standard in order to be
recognized as a Republican, or to af1ili
ate with the Republican organization.
1T says: THE ST. Louis convention was
the only body authorized to declare the
national policy of the party. and to de-
fine what Republicanism is. There is
no appeal from its decision. 1t may
have modified or changed it's articles of
political faith, but it had right to
change them if it wanted to. 1t was
the supreme official organization. the
authoritative voice of the Republican
party"
There is no silver Republican organ
ization in this city. The state organ
ization was disbanded year ago be-
cause a few of the leaders were induced
to ally themselves with the gold forces
and there was nothing left for silver
men to do but join the Democratic
party. The Republican committee is a
goldbug committee. working in perfect
harmony with the organization of
which Mark Hanna is the recognized
head.
OF course mo silver man has a right
to call himself Republican"

ever changes there may be in the tariff,
to make IL of any special benefit TO the
men of the west"
When the Dingiey bill was pending In
congress this is what our neighbor said
about it: THE Dingley tariff is not a
truly protective tariff; all the underly-
ing principles OF a real protective tar
if had TO be violated in the struggle to
obtain a certain amount of revenue
from an impoverished people,
When the claim was made last year
that Dingleyism had started wave OF
prosperity across the country the Trib-
une said:
Mr.. Mckinley and the whole band are
telling of the increased prosperity; the
whole band know that they are lying,
and that they are trying to deceive the
people,
1t wasn't very long ago that the
Tribune explained the ebb and flow of
prosperity I'VE have seen all this

vests, no epidemics. no failure of crops.
no floods. no droughts. no extraordinary
calamities, the nation at large has
steadily grown poorer. To fix it all,
nothing is necessary except to restore
the currency TO the 1872 basis 1t said
again that there had been intervals of
prosperity due to divers causes over
which the administration had absolute
ly no control, but that the rich had
kept on growing richer, the poor poorer.
and that the republic never faced such
imminent peril as it is facing today in
spite of the temporary good times And
1t hasn't been six weeks since it made
this assertion. either.
Naturally we were surprised yester-
day to read in its editorial columns that
Dingleyism had started that wave of
prosperity. Was our morning contem-
porary ever consistent, ever sincere,
ever reliable in its whole checkered ca
reer?
