GOLDBUG SENTIMENTS.

In trying to explain it's flop to the
Sacramento Bee. our goldbug contem-
porary begs the question. 1t tries to
deceive the Bee as to its real position.
Here is the Tribune's platform:
The silver issue has been eliminated as
a living factor from the politics of the
day.
1t is useless TO make another stand for
silver in this country until conditions
change.
Ii would be a foolish and fatal mistake
for the Democratic party to lean next
year upon silver as IL did IN 1876.
These are the financial views of the
Salt Lake Tribune, as revised last April
by Chairman Hanna during the widely
known editors trip to Washington.
These are the views of a newspaper
given to sneering at other peoples de-
votion to silver. and to Boosting of its
own superior knowledge. of the cause
it has betrayed. In discussing this mat
ter some time ago il delighted the
goldbug press of the east by declaring
that there is no hope for silver unless
it be taken up and established by for
it can see mo possible chance for an
International agreement"
Relieved of all circumlocutien and
verbose ambiguity the platform of the
Tribune may be stated thus:
1. Silver is dead.
o There is no hope for independent
bimetallism.
3. Democrats should abandon the
principle, too.
4. Silver's only hope is in the action
of foreign countries.
5. There is no possible chance for in
ternaticnal agreement on the question
of bimetallism.
6. Abuse of everybody who glances
over its tangled political record.
What it says when cornered by a
contemporary is no indication of our
neighbours position. Its utterances
from day to day make up the record.

SILVER IN THE NEXT CAMPAIGN

Republican newspapers have been
some time that the financial issue will
take a front place in the next national
campaign and that the party should
not be caught mapping or over conf
dent because of a tide of prosperity,
which may turn at any time.
THE silver battle must be fought
over again. says the Chicago Times
honest money, who would maintain the
nations honor, and who desires to see
the principles of monetary reform fixed
in the statutes must turn out to help
the administration"
1t prays that the victory next year
may be so decisive that free silver and
its delusive and lying promises will be
Crushed forever"
The New York Sun, an authority on
the new Republicanism second to none
in this country, says: THE Republi-
can party will again declare for gold,
and it has proved its faith by it's
works by maintaining the gold stand
ard as it promised to do in 1886. No
body has any doubt as to that matter.
Nor is there any doubt that the Dem
ocratic party will not declare for gold"
Here are the opinions of two leading
administration papers-the first closer
to President Mckinley. perhaps, than
any other in the United States, and the
second the most servile tool in Hanna's
hands.

The Herald said the other day: I'm
perialists, or rather those advocating
forcible expansion, who are not ac-
quainted with history, are fond of COM
pairing the annexation of Texas with
the proposed subjugation of the Philip
pines
Our morning contemporary quoted
that and said: I'VE challenge our con-
temporary to make any such showing
from any source"
On Sunday the Tribune concluded an
editorial justification of conquest with
these words: when congress meets it
will be quickly seen that the men of the
south will not, even by implication. adj
nit that Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,
California, Nevada and Utah were OBJ
tanned by conquest, and that the title
is not good
If that wasn't a use of the Texas
case in comparison, how was the refer
ence TO Texas made?

BRITISH VIEWS AND FACTS.

An "Anglocized Irish-American, the
widely known editor of local organ
If imperialism, describes the Beers as
cruel, vicious, dishonest and immoral,
and SAYS that such savagery can only
be beaten by determination"
That is the Anglicized view. to be
sure. but it finds its origin in two i'm
prAper motives: First. a racial preju-
dice embittered at Majuba Hill; sec
ond. an attempt to justify conquest.
T, ;s view that Irish-Americans, or
arv other believers in a republican
form OF government, for that matter,
do not entertain as a rule. Yet there
are some who sneeze whenever Mark
Hanna takes snuff, and the local Re
publican boss is one OF them When
Mark came home from Europe thor
eughsy in love with a monarchial form
Of government, imperialism was under
etood 70 be in full sail in this country.
The fact of the matter is that the
most that can be said against the
Beers is that they are old-fashioned,
non-progressive. grinly religious and
primitive in their. social and political
customs. The worst crime of which
they stand convicted is an effort at
MISREPRESENTATION on the part of their
government. But. as The Herald has
already pointed out, the Beers are not
savages: they are not even nomads;
they are Christisns; they believe in the
Bible: they build churches and attend
worship as regularly as ever the Puri-
tans did: they are moral, honest, fru-
gal and industrious; they respect fam
i,y ties and property rights; ard. while
oid-fashioned and peculiar. there are
rural districts in New England. no
doubt. where the ways are as quaint
sud the people as non-progressive.
England is making the same appeal
to the world that all great powers make
in carrying on a war Of determination
or conquest. She says that the Beers
are an obstruction TO civilization, and
every in.perialist in this country is
duty bound to say Amen" If strong
powers are tc be. believed under such

TRUSTS AND THE PRESIDENT,

| One of the greatest trust m1gnates
in this country has said that 1.-THE pro-
tective tariff is the mother of the
trusts" The Republican party is the
acknowledged father.
One Of the most shining examples of
tariff-made trust, one of the most
promising ofrsprings in the family of ex-
tortion and monopoly, is the tin plate
trust. Within year from the date of
its formation il had advanced the price
of the product from $3.50 to $3.50 per
box. This comes out of the pockets of
the people. Ii is paid by men and
women who use tinware; and if the
price of a cup or a bucket is not raised
poorer material is used, and the loss
is that of the consumer anyhow.
BIT this robbery of the people in the
price of the product is not the only
injury done by Mr.. McKinley's pet
monopoly Formerly the United States
treasury derived 100000 year from
the duty on tin plate. but this now
goes TO the trust. 1t keeps out foreign
competition and strangies that at
home. 1t claims credit for paying good
wages. bat the American people are
taxed Tor those wages. The trust can
not play philanthropist Oh the money
of the people.
When William Mckinley served the
tin plate makers in congress as their
special agent and attorney some years
ago, ne secured everything they de-
manded, and enabled them to build up
monopoly, amass billions of dollars,
increase prices to consumers, and con-
tribute hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to his election to the presidency
There are other trusts he helped Gre
ate. and each of them has ever stood
ready and willing TO contribute To his
promotion, which means the advance
ment of their interests.
THE first duty of congress upon its
meeting should be to strike the tariff
from tin plate That is not the only
way to cure the trust evil, perhaps,
but it will go long ways towards 1t.
The cause of the disease removed, it is
comparatively easy to apply the needed
remedies.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-11-15

There is a class of loud mouthed pro-
tectionists in this country who claim
that advocates of q revenue tariff are
in favor of killing American industries.
They can give no reason why half the
people, almost half the voters. are so
opposed to prosperity and industries.
but they continue 10 yaw about their
enmity to industrial enterprise just the
same. Most of the load-mouthed pro-
tectionists have taken a hitch in their
vocal chords since trusts have fulfilled
the predictions of the tariff reformers
but q few of the mouths are still doing
business at the old stand.

On account of the Otis censorship it
is hard to understand the real situation
on Luzcn. So many rose-colored dis
patches have been sent out, so much
truth has been suppressed and SO much
deception practiced on the American
people that one is puzzled to know
whether any significance attaches to
Manila cablegrams or not.
Yesterdays dispatches contain cheer

and. his army are surrounded and that
the collapse of the instruction is as

the war "manana" for eight months.
and has surrounded the insurgent gem
raj III times since last February; but
there is something about this report
yesterday that induces one to hope that
something definite. is about to be ac-
compiished. With Wheaton's di-

George Washington to escape this trap.
And since President Mckinley has per-
sistently. refused for nine months TO
end the horrible slaughter by saying
the word that would have brought
peace any day, the next best thing is
TO force the finish and quit lying about
results to protect the politicians in
power from the righteous criticism of
an impatient public.
Then. when peace is secured, or even
a 4semblance of peace. this government
should give the Filipinos an assurance
OF Independence to which all the freed
colonists are entitled: the American
army should be left on the islands for
a while and the natives enabled to es-
tabiish the sort of government they
prefer; there should be a protectorate
maintained for a number of years and
notice served on all other powers to
leave those islands alone. In the mean
time the conquest of the schoolmaster
and the trader viii begin; the friend
shin and the interest of the islanders
will be enlisted. Perhaps they may be-
come attached TO this nation and ask
to be made a part of it. We may not,
on sober second thought, want those
sixty tribes of South Pacific islanders
as bad as Hannaites now believe we do.
At all events, let us give them chance
TO demonstrate their capacity for self
government: let US cultivate rather
than stifie their ambitions along this
line: and finally, let us seek an oppor-
tunity TO make a peaceful conquest OF
the islands if we need thenl-the only
conquest that can be justified in this
ave of arbitration and enlightenment.
