TIE LEAD SCHEDULE.

THE LEAD SCHEDULE
Senator Joseph L. Bristow OF kan
sas. one OF tho bcil-wcathers OF the
insurgents. and one OF those estim-
able gentlemen who would ruin the
Republican party n ne could, and is
working constantly toward that end,
in a speech az Manhattan. Kan, at
tackled the lead schedule OF the tariff
bill. and said that it was one Of the
robbc1 schedules.
Senator Bristow S. talking. OF
course. for Kansas consumption. but it
IS interesting TO speculate on what
would happen 90 the gentleman from
Yansas II he came to Utah ana aired
those views. Suppose he were TO go
20 Provo to fratcrnizo with the
Knights. father and son. who are
Democrats at certain times. and were
60 talk 20 them OF free lead. Most
Utah people viii remember the IA
nous telegram that was sent 20 the
finance committee Of the United States
senate when tho schedules to the
tariff bill were being considered.
Being interested in lead. Jesse
knight and his son. J. Will Knight.
sent n telegram 60 the committee that
putting lead on the free list would
spell ruin 60 the industries Of Utah.
This was n case where the Democratic
doctrine Of tariff for revenue only, or
OF free trade. did not appeal 60 the
man who turned down the Democratic
nomination for governor. or the son
who accepted that nomination
and was defeated az the polls by the
present incumbent. william Spry. It
would scarcely appeal either TO any
insurgont Utah Republicans, who know
tho Importance OF the lead industry
20 Utah either as mine owners. en-
pioyes I'm mines or merchants who get
the benefit thercfrom.
Joseph @. Cannon. speaker Of the
House Of Representative. IS i'm Kan
sas at the present time. defending the
Payrc-Aidrich bin from the attacks
OF Bristov and others who arc 50
great that they are trying to dictate TO
the Republican party. Speaker Can
non several times has referred 90 the
insurgents as 'gucrrilias." The speak
er does not always choose his lanEu-
aEc with nice discrimination. but I'm
this instance. ne has hit the nail
squarcly on the head.
Tho insurrcrt Republicans who are
cudcavorinE 90 the present time to
disIntcgrate the Republican party so
that they can gather up the pieces
and mold them 90 suit their own
fancics, arc very aptly named guer-
r,las- During the great War Of the
Rebellion. there were bodies of men
who fought with ono side. then the
other. fought anywhere that would Of
fer them the best chance for rob-
berry. and piilage. These men were
known as Euerrillas. That the in
surgents I'm and out Of Congress are
working the same side OF the street
there can be no question.
The Republican party has endured
FOR many years. Il has been gcner-
ally rirht. No IS right this time. and
the right will always prevail. II the
insurgents were 60 have their way.
every industry that IS making Utah
great would receive a death-blow. The
tariff was revised by its friends. in
line with the policy or protection. the
poiicv that has made the United states
the greatest nation on the globe COM
n,ercially. and that will keep 70 so.
The needs Of Utah were well taken
care Of In the Payne-Aldrich TARIFF
bill. The senior senator from Utah
played "a prominent part in framing
the bill. and the junior senator from
Utah did his share in seeing that the
attacks Of certain Democrats. and Of
certain weck-lnccd Republicans wore
successfully resisted. Tho congress
man from Utah did well his part in
the lower House. The state owes them
n debt or gratitude Tor their labor,
and the successful issue of f.

Paync-Aldrich bill is concerned. is go

the Republican party in Utah. but the
