TO SILVER REPUBLICANS.

To My Friends, the Silver Republicans
of Utah:
Now that the skirrnish line is advancing
in Utah for the great political battle to
be fought to a finish at our national cleo
ton, November next, 10 be decided for or
against binetallism, stop, think and con-
slider as true Americans. Line up, study
the political chart. heave the lead, and
try the soundings before it is too late, or
you may run upon hidden sand bars OF
rocks and be stranded.
Stand firm to your principles, as you did
four years ago. and vote for the man and
party that will suDserve your interests.
Is not voting for the free coinage OF silver
as much Of principle today as 1t was
four years ago? Shame on the electOr
who will vote his or her prejudice at this
critical time against sacred principles
What is in a name when a principle and
your interests are at stake?
I have the honor to say that, for forty
years, followed the line of Lincoln Re-
publicanism or Jeffersonian principles, as
one of the people, for the people. asking
no foreign nation how we should adjust
our tariff or financial affairs, in the Ian
guage of the Hon. Charles Crane, or toa-
dying to other nations.
Ny silver Republican friends, stand firm
to your American principles. as you did
four years ago FAN not falter not, IN
well doing. Let not q subsidized paper
cause YOU to change your adherence to
the cause of humanity. The free coinage
of silver is just as much Of principle
today as ever II was: Il so. then vote for
the Hon. W. H King. a tried and true
advocate OF your principles, one who viii
stand UP in the halls of congress and ad-
vocate your cause as q true American.
pleading for Utah and humanity. He is
competent in every way for your suffrage.
Bimetalhsm is rot a dead issue, as the
subsidized press and politicians claim. II
is as vital a question today as II was in
1896 II is an established principle, inner
tied from our revolutionary foTefathers,
and not a calamity cry, for such was the
cry of Toryism, toadying TO thin-skinned
royalty.
Let not your prejudices for party's
name carry you astray, but go and vote
for that honorable candidate, w. H
King.
In Utah bimetaliisrn is what the people
want. The people of Utah want 1t. and
ing to bring IL about. Il will stimulate
industries, will increase the value Of the
mineral output of all of the states. II
will insure better prices to the farmers,
will increase the value OF real estate and
attract a desirable immigration. II will
aid In the development of mines, give
work to thousands, send hundreds to the
mines from of the streets. 1t would fur
nish local consumers for the farmers and
stock men, and double business in every
way.
It would create a demand for mining
machinery and miners and present in
ducements for the location of manufac-
turing establishments, and for these rea-
sons alone the voters of Utah should do
everything TO encourage and nothing to
discourage the cause of independent BIZ
metallism- Then vote for King, the true
advocate Of bimetallism- You will never
regret it. Yours respectfully,
c. R. BERRY.

that Is brought upon honest. indepersl-
ent manhood and womanhood by the
knowledge that here in Utah are poll
ticians who would advertise Il TO the
world that they believe the people of
this state are ready to barter off their
American citizenship to secure protec-
ton for the institution Of polygamyl
And while such Infamous methods as
these are employed in the hope OF in
fluencing the votes OF one element, a
purchased Hanna organ in this city is
seeking votes by playing upon the pref
udice Of another class. By gross falsi-
fication and distortion of the record Of
the Democratic convention, it attempts
to show that that convention endorsed
polygamy, and that Mr.. Kings election
would be an endorsement of polygamy,
all the While dishonesty conceahng the
attitude Of its own candidate, who prl-
vately endorses the Democratic resolu-
ton, because he knows it is a statement
Of truth, who approves the appointment
Of polygamists to federal place and ap-
proves their retention in office, but who
is too cowardiy to proclaim in public
his belief in the good faith and honesty
Of the people of the state.
Such outrageous methods cannot win
In Utah. The people know, if outsiders
do not, that polygamy as an institution
IS OF so little moment here that it can
not be used either as bride or a threat
to the voters. The free citizens of Utah
OF all sects and creeds will neither be
bribed or bulldozed, and by yielding to
such appeals, invite the charge that a
dying custom is dearer to them than
the welfare Of their state or the future
OF the republic. They know that the
people OF this commonwealth are Meth
er fledge-breakers nor defers of the
law; and they will repudiate the charge
OF lawlesEness and bad faith by voting
for the Democratic candidate, who en-
dorses the resolution denying those
charges.
The political party that thinks a.
whole people can be blaclmailed by in
timidation will meet retribution at the
polls

PARTY DEcADENcE.

From c. T. Allen to James T. Ham
nlond; from Judge Dickson to Scipio
Africanus Kenner; from Frank ]. Can
non to Bill Glasmann; from Charles S.
Varian to George A Smith.
Sic transit gloria mundi!
Where are the Republican leaders of
five years ago? What untoward chain
of events has elevated to the front and
fore of the grand old party this mar
row-gauge squad of candidates and
orators now gyrating before the pub
lie? Whence and wherefore hath flown
the prestige on a once great party ?
Where are those strong men whose elo-
quence and wisdom gave to the party
CT Lincoln a standing in this state?
Read this list:
Judge w. II. Dickson
Frank J. Cannon.
G. s. Varian.
Charles Crane.
c. Z. Allen.
Henry W. Lawrence.
Frank B. Stephens.
These were names to coniure by in
the early days Of Utah Republicanissn.
These men supplied in a large measure
the brains and intelligence Of the party
half a decade ago. Where are they
now2 Not one of them supports the
party Of Hanna.
Is there no lesson in the situation for
honest, thoughtful Republicans? Does
not contemplation of such condition
suggest a conscientious investigation of
the cause? When such men as these
are driven from their party. is there not
something wrong with the party? You
men who have been Republicans be-
cause you have believed in the princi-
pies upon which your party was found
ed, what do you think of this new Re
pubhcanism, of which Mark Hanna is
the apostle?
Is it not possible that your former
leader. Frank j. Cannon. spoke the
truth when he declared that ''the Re
publican party has made a new league
with death and a covenant with help
And if your investigation discloses
that there is a new ReDublicanism
from which patriotic citizens are turn
ing with disgust, it may also reveal a
new Democracy.

Mr.. HAMMOND'S SUPPORT.

All silver miners in the state who
think that 60 cents an ounce for silver
is better than $1.29 should certainly
vote for Mr.. Hammond. All farmers
who enjoy the rule of the trusts should
give him their support. All sugar beet
growers who favor cheap sugar and
lower prices for beets can see their way
clear to vote for the exponent OF i'm
perialism. All Americans who repu-
diate the Declaration of Independence
and believe the American republic
should be remodeled upon the British
plan. can readily endorse the McKin-
ley candidate. All good citizens who
believe the United States treasury
should be turned over to the Standard
Oil bank. belong to Mr.. Hammond's
side. And all voters in Utah who wish
to perpetuate the bitterness and strife
Of the past should give their most en-
thusiastic encourag cement to the can
6idate of the storm bureau

MR.. BRYAN'S RECEPTION.

William J. Bryan's reception in Og-
den and Salt Lake yesterday was the
most remarkable tribute to a great
leader THE intermountain region has
ever known. 1t was remarkable dem
onstration Of popular faith in the mans
sincerity and unselfish devotion 10 the
public welfare. No individual Of his
day has been so abused, misrepresented,
ridiculed and traduced as has Mr..
Bryan. No man has been more indiffer-
ent % the attacks of his enemies or
more loyal TO principle. The petty eva
slons Of expediencY that mark the
small politician have been as foreign
10 him as any other weakness. With
powers that wealth would court gladly
and reward munificently. he has advo-
Gated the cause OF the plain people. who
prefer liberty to the enforcement Of
wealth, who still believe in the Declara-
tion of Independence and the constitu-
ton of the United States.

England. 20 keep this republic free from
the influence of imperialism, to pro
tect It from the open and insidious at
tacks OF English rapacity and revenge.
we nave had one war since that Of the
revolution. a rupture in 1868, and diplo-
matte battles without number.
But now the supreme struggle is at
hand. Toryism. long silent and sub
dued, has wormed its way into the
national capital. -Four years ago a
new era in politics was inaugurated. An
unknown magnate sprang into national
prominence as a political leader,
bought national convention as Re-
publican newspapers have admitted,
secured the nomination Of a candidate
upon whom he held a mortgage, and,
by hiring orators and Substituting news
papers, coercing employees Of manu-
featuring establishments and corrupt
Ing states, he placed his man in the
White House.
Then this founder Of the new school
of craftsmanship took a trip to
Europe and came home with the
opinion that "the English form OF gov
eminent is in many respects better
than our own"
This was the keynote of the admin
istration. The English model was set
up Enslish ideals have been adopted.
English disregard for the constitution
as a characteristic Of the present ad-
minlstration- English contempt for the
Declaration Of independence is care
fully copied by the party in power.
English Indifference to weak nations
struggling for liberty is a prominent
feature of this new republicanism.
g 9 8
The English government is all right
for the English people If they prefer
1t they win no doubt remain under it
But England is governed by a monarch
and her laws are made by landed
aristocracy.
This Is America, not England. This
IS republic, not a monarchy. We have
different aims, different rights and DIFF
ferent ideals from those of England.
And yet this Mckinley adn1inistra-
ton has made as complete a surrender
OF American traditions, as humble an
apology for American independence as
the Tories wanted to make in the dark
days Of the revolution.
The American people are beginning
TO show signs Of disgust with the whole
toady Tory crew at Washington By
the time November drifts around they

president and American policies.

alone would easily place him at the
head OF American orators. Their force,
their clearnesst their power Of convic-
ton impressed every one who heard
them But great as the orator is, the
character Of the man is greater. To
see and hear him IS to know that the
giants of the revolution themselves
were not more devoted to their country
than he; that Lincoln himself did not
desire more earnestly a free, enlight-
ened. liberty-loving government.
To the friends of silver, to the Dsmoe-
racy, TO believers in the doctrine of
equality for all and special privileges
for none, Mr.. Bryan's presence was an
inspiration The welcome accorded him
shows that the men and women of
these mountain states are still true to
the leader woo has devoted his whole
career to thar cause.

Mr.. Hammond, in his travels through
Sanpete county, promised the farmers
a beet sugar factory if they would only
endorse the policy of Imperialism. He
did not make it quite clear how pol
10y that would flood the American
market with the cheapest sugar in the
world would encourage the erection OF
more sugar factories here. Perhaps he
means that the free Introduction of the
cheap sugar Of the Philippines, and
lower prices for the American product,
would stimulate production at home. A
candidate who believes that the sureSt
way to get bimetaIlism is TO perpetuate
the single gold standard, is quite capa-
bic Of adopting any unique line Of
reasoning on other questions.
