NOES NOT AFFECT WAGES.

The Republicans are talking tariff
more or less these days, and unblush-
ingIy continue TO make assertions
which have been proven false time and
time again. one OF the arguments pre-
scented to an audience of workingmen
is the claim that the tariff represents
the difference between the American
laborer's wages and those of his COM
petitors. The AMERICAN workman. it
is said, receives more than the Eng
lshman, because the tariff protects
him from the free competition of Eng
lish goods; and if the tariff fell the
wages would fall in proportion.
There are several reasons why this
isn't SO. In the first place. the wages
Of the English workingmen are much
higher than those paid in any impor-
tant prOtectionist country with the
single exception of the States
If the high protective tariff assesses
the virtue ascribed TO it, why does it
not produce similar effects in Germany,
France. Austria and Russia. all of
which have large manufacturing in
dustries with a highly protected home
market? Yet, in all these countries the
wages of the working classes are much
lower than in England.
Another fatal objection to this pet
Republican theory is that the same
comparative superiority of wages was
possessed when much lower tariffs
were current in this country. Again,
the great majority of laborers in the
United States are employed in agricul-
ture and in other lines which gain no
advantages from the protective tariff,
while they reap all the disadvantages
Of exorbitant prices for the necessaries
of life
In former campaigns the Republicans
were dinging it into the ears of the
people that "the foreigner pays the
tax That claim has long since been
abandoned, and the present campaign
will probably be the last time an effort
Will be made to fool the workingmen
with the plea that their wages depend
upon the tariff schedules

REVERIDeE,s SURPRISE PARTY.

Senator Beveridge's experience i'm the
salt Lake theatre furnishes a most in
teresting light on the local political sit
uatIon and ought to give the Smoot
machine food for thought during the
time intervening before election. Al
though it was a Republican meeting
addressed by one Of the partys most
gifted orators. the chief demonstra-
tons of the evening were for Jesse w
Knight. the Democratic candidate for
governor, and William Jennings Bry-
an. the Democratic nominee for presi-
dent. The tribute TO Senator Smoot
was received with conspicuous lack of
enthusiasm, indicating with mathemat-
zeal accuracy the opinion Salt Lake
holds of his political activity
The significant thing about the DEM
onstrftions was the showing of strength
for the Democratic state and presiden-
tial tickets. The SmoOt Republicans
have been taking for granted the sue
cess III their ticket i'm this state at the
.apprfachins election, basing their
hopfs probably on the ease with which
hn-ss have manipulated their party ma
ehinery in times past, and on the
presidential vote in 1904 They fail to
recognize the growing antagonism to
Smoot and all his clan in the Republi-
can party, and the tremendous popu-
larity Of Bryan among all classes in
this state.
In addition, they have ignored the
vote-setting qualities of Mr.. Knight
his large following among the younger
men of the state, and his eminent fit
ness for the office of governor. Com
pared with Mr.. Spry, whose nominal
ton. like Tafts was forced upon the
party, uncalled for and distasteful as
it is. Mr.. Knight starts with the ad-
vantage Of personal strength and free
dom from ENHANCEMENT with any fac
ton or any quarrel The people know
his election would go far toward estab-
fishing political peace in the state. and
If there were no other reason for his
election that of itself would influence
n very large number of votes in his
favor.
AS for the Bryan outbreak which dis
turbed the Hoosier senator so serious
~, every citizen of Utah understands
it. Mr.. Bryan has always been liked
here in the mountain states: his out
spoken, aggressive hostility to the
trusts. his defense of free silver in 1896,
his loyalty 10 principle and answering
devotion TO what he believes is right.

that an outburst of applause should

If the theatre meeting proved any
thing, it was the overwhelming growth
of the sentiment for Bryan and knight

ence were Republicans. but they were
Republicans who have no use for the
brand of party politics dished up to
them by the Smoot machine and who
still admire Bryan as they did in 1896.
