unjust legislation. have bulidec tnoSe
sef-initiative and individual enterprise
upon the part OF the most AMBITIOUS
young men who are growing up In tIis

Republican Party Responsible.
Whe is responsible for the trusts. for
these criminal organizations In restraint
OF trade? The Republican party, because
under It's policies these great orSaniza-

reached the gigantic proportions WHICH
they now assume. Take the broken
pledges of the Republican party on trust
legislation and upon tariff legislation. and

occupies the position of temporary chair

which It enacted at the special session.
Cannot Defend Tariff Bill.
I have been east during the past two
months for a short time, and conversed
with Republicans and Democrats. with
with Chameleon" Republicans. a term
adopted by Jack Bill and 1 found. no
one that had the hardihood to defend
the Payne -Aldrich tariff bill. and 1t re-
mains Only for the organ of the Re
publican machine in Utah. and for the
federal bunch of Utah to defend that
monstrous. vicious, Infamous bill, that
congressional delegation from the state
OF Utah.
You read. Of course. the report OF
OF Utah many OF them didn't read and
ing about. What was done when that
bin was UP for consideration? Who was

chimes here as we'll as elsewhere. and
the people abdicate 10 these bosses the
independence which belongs TO every
American citizen; and so the Payne
tariff bill was drawn. line by line. para
graph by paragraph. schedule by sched-
llc. by the trusts and the combina tions,
and the corrupt organizations OF the
United States. The peoples voice was
not heard. They could not enter into
that Legislative hall and have their voice
heard in behalf OF low tariff and pros
perity
And what is the result? The Payne
tariff bill is a revision upward instead
of n revision downward. Instead OF re-
lievins the people from the eXaction OF
trusts, II imposes upon them additional
burdens at the demands OF these pluto
cratic influences.
Utah Delegation Silent as Grave
And the delegation from Utah what
did they do? When they should have
spoken, their voices were silent as the
grave. They became the errand boys
Of the trusts and Aldrch. the corpora
tions and plutocrats, instead of lnde-
pendent representatives OF the great SOW
ereign state OF Utah and the people OF
the United States
