snrV Of Snlu and demand to see the
color of the mans hair who viii haul
it down.
Fl. By the way, II It is not cut Of or
der, we would like to inquire at this
juncture who hauled the flag down
from the bloOd-stained and hero-conse-
Grated fields Of Cerro Gordo. Cberu-
busoo and a score Of Mexican local.
ties?
p. Who viii haul down the flag from
the eitadels of Cuba in compliance with
the pledge of the American govern
ment?
%. We rejoice that the president has
agreed to protect slavery and po!vg-
amy in the Philippines so long as the
sultan is satisfied with his present sal
airy for saluting the flag.
p. We point with pride to the fact
that the president permits the Dost-
master Of Provo to retain his federal
commission, while the administration
party is preparing a constitutional
amendment aimed at the people of
Utah.
25. We are gratihed with the progress
Of superior civilization in Luzon and
that Observance Of Christian duty
which has placed 400 saloons in Manila
and located others wherever the needs
Of benevolent assimilation seemed most
pressing.
rs. We point with hilarious pride to
the fact that famines in foreign lands
have kept up the prices of farm prod
uce as much as it has been kept up
during this administration.
p. We call attention to the fact that
American manufacturers are compet-
ing successfully with the pauper. labor
Of the Old World in foreign markets,
and demand more tariff for their pro-
lection from this competition here at
home.
IS. We note with surprise and cha
grin that the Republican publishers Of
the United States declare that the pa
per trust is a tariff creation and that
they have abandoned the sacred prin-
ciple of protection so far as it affects
the necessities of their business.
%. The necessity for tariff protection
is rendered more apparent every day
by the admissions of trust magnates
that upon a capital of $4,000 900 it is
possible for them to make, with the aid
of the tariff, $21OOO,O 900 per annum.
90. This has been a year of great
prosperity for the trusts and bankers.
while speculation has been facilitated
by the secretary of the treasury; and
the fact that he has averted several
panics during the past twelve months
by turning the treasury over to the
brokers, is an evidence of good times
20 which we desire to call especial at
tention.
81. We congratulate the administra-
ton upon making a trade treaty with
South American republics, reducing
the duty on wool imported from there
20 per cent.
50. We congratulate Mr.. Pauncefote
upon his diplomatic victory over Sec
rotary Hay in the canal matter. and
likewise congratulate Mr.. Hay for
yielding so innocently to the English
ambassador.
80. We heartily agree with the presi-
dents message of last December.
wherein he recommends absolute free
trade between the states and Porto
Rico as the constitution requires; we
also agree with the Republican Lead
ers in the house, who say that the
sugar trust and coffee syndicate of
this country must be protected against
our island possessions.
"a. We believe that Porto Rico is a
part of this government, but demand
that it's people shall be treated as for
eigners; in other words, our policy
towards the islands shall be modelled
on the ancient policy Of England
towards the American colonies.
50. We are unreservedly in favor of
the Hanna-Payne subsidy scheme, as
Chairman Hanna deserves the OppOr-
tunity therein presented to acquire a
competency under a government Of
which he is 1t.
&c. We applaud the presidents dec
laration in favor of a strict enforce
ment of the civil service law as set
forth in his inaugural address; we
likewise approve of his abrogation Of
the civil service law.
81. We congratulate Alger upon his
miraculous escape, and denounce the
soldiers who couldn't swallow the beef
he furnished them.
s.. We denOunce Dewey as a traitor
for saying that the Filipinos are far
better fitted for self government than
the CUbans are
80. We denounee as traitors all who
refuse to regard the Platt-H Hanna syn
dictate as the American government, all
who differ from the religious and po-
htical views of the Salt Lake Tribune.
and all who believe that Washington
was in any way superior to Hanna
40. We endorse the declaration of
the Tribune that the people of Utah
are Iaw-breakers and pledge-breakers
and reafirm the declaration Of our
party organ that the exclusion Of Rob
erts from congress was "a triumph of
the American home over the Asiatic
harem.'
With these declarations OF principle
the Republican party Of Utah is will
ing to go before the people and ask
their suffrage.
