Show DAILY 4 UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON. EDITOR. GET TOGETHER IN WASHINGTON As the regular session of congress approaches it seems to be assured that the Democratic minority in both houses will Get Together upon two important and imminent propThese are: First, dishonesty in ositions. the public service; second, restraint of the trusts. Not in a quarter of a century has the United States been so disgraced as now by the thievery of public officials at Washington. The exposure of fraud in the postoffice department demonstrated that this branch of the public service is permeated by rottenness from top to botton. If the highest officials in that department did not have antecedent knowledge of corruption and guilty participation in the spoils, they at least used all their power in the department and all their influence with the press to preserve the criminals from exposure and punishment. In eith- er case the administration is tainted with the crime. And it should be the duty of all Dem- ocrats in congress to push the exposure to a conclusion, that the rascals may be driven out and the government purified of their vicious presence. It is not sufficient that one or two mere subordinates 'should have been arrested and prosecuted; it is necessary that the people of the United States shall know the full extent of the wrong and the names and shares of the higher officials who permitted the iniquity to continue and who sought to avert the consequences of guilt. It is today as thoroughly understood as any other current fact that the great trusts of the United States have their representatives on the floor of both senate and house. They have advance information of legislative tendency; they are able to secure at least the quiescence of the prosecuting officers of government; they dominate our affairs; they rule the country. And it is time for the Democracy as represented in congress to tear aside the flimsy veil of attempted concealment and expose the trusts and their servants, no matter how high in station the latter may be. If the officers of the government will not prosecute, not only should they be exposed but themselves should be prosecuted. If the Democrats in Washington will Get Together on these two propositions and pursue them with all the intensity of our political faith and of our duty to the people, there will be such a rattling of dry bones as has not been heard since the edrly seventies. Punish the rascals and expose the partners of the trusts. GROVER MAKES IT EASY. In a very dignified and characteristic let- the punishment of the big rascals all of whom are Republicans; he must be for reciprocity with Cuba in Wall street and against it in Michigan; he must be against increase of money when the Democratic platform demands it and for an increase of money when the asset currency bill is before congress; he must be for the Monroe doctrine where European nations are considered and against the Monroe doctrine when we want a territorial slice; he must believe that forcible annexation is criminal aggression when McKinley says it and he must believe that forcible annexation is righteous when Roosevelt does it. Finally he must hold all his views no matter how long and conscientiously entertained subject to instant revision at the behest of the party bosses. AN UNNECESSARY PROTECTION. It is utterly impossible to defend the tariff schedule on iron and steel. We produce both more cheaply than any other place in the world. We have more convenient natural resources, more extensive works and better facilities for transportatiou than our competitors. We sell our goods at home at the worlds price, plus the tariff. We sell iron and steel goods abroad, minus the cost of The steel trust has foreign transportion. put into its stocks and bonds more than one billion dollars of invested profits and fraudulent issue. The American people are paying interest on this vast sum in the way of higher prices for the steel and iron goods which they consume. Whom does this tariff benefit? Not the whole people, for they are being defrauded for the benefit of the few. For whom is such tariff necessary? Not for the steel manufacturers of the United States for they can undersell their world competitors in all the markets of the earth. Then if the tariff is neither necessary to the manufacturer nor beneficial to the people at large why should it be retained? Is the manufacture of iron and steel in the United States an infant industry? It is the most gorged of all the manufacturing interests of the world. It has made greater pro- fits in a given length of time than any other industry. It has the highest capitalization and bonded indebtedness of all the corporations in existence. It pays more than two hundred per cent annually upon all the original money invested in its works. ' How long will the American people bear this kind af injustice? Together. With a candidate who represents Democratic principles, without antagonism to or from any Democrat; with issues greater than it ever had to present to the people; the Democratic party can win the presidency and the house in the elections next 3Tear. PLIANT FOLLOWERS. To follow the Republican party and at the. same time to think, is to be one of the most pliant and versatile of men. A devotee of that organization must be for the trusts in the morning and against the trusts at night; he must be for letting well enough alone in Pennsylvania and for tariff revision in Iowa; he must be for the punishment of the small rascals in the postoffice department if they are found to have been appointed under Democratic administration and he must be against 1903. 28, NEW YORK STOCKS GRAND From present indications we will be able to take Canada into our keeping as soon as we can find Great Britain at a disadvantage. We might doit in the interest of the lumber men of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, who have recently made large purchases of timber lands in the dominion. They surely have as much right to the of our governin ment their enrichment as had the Panama It would would be interesting to have a joint debate upon the tariff between William J. Bryan and Joseph Chamberlain during the visit of the former to England. Joseph could tell William why England, a free trade country,' should go to protection; and William could tell Joseph why' the United States, a protected country, should go to free trade. When the Republican party makes an anti-trulaw it calls in the ablest intellects of its party in order to secure an effective st measure. As soon as the people become clamorous for enforcement of the law the Republican administration calls in these same intellects to devise a means for making the law non-effecti- Closing Novambor Quotation 28. country is devoted to the declaration that the Democratic party has no issue from which to go to the people next year. If there were nothing else, the rascality in the departments at Washington under Republican administration would be enough. And then there are others. The Sacramento Bee is making a fight to have the school teachers use language which the children will understand. Is this an insidious attempt to restore the old method of talking with a birch rod or a ruler? Charles M. Schwab has given a church to the St. Thomas congregation in Braddock. The structure cost $125,000. The receiver of the shipping trust has told us where the money came from. HOUSE WHDAv1eC3 Furnished by the Ogden Brokerage 2482 Washington; company, phone 215.

It would not be worth while to discuss this attitude of the sage of Princeton in the light of novelty; for it has been common knowledge during the last two years that the Democrats of the United States did not intend to nominate either Grover Cleveland or William J. Bryan. The letter therefore of Mr. Cleveland is important only in its individual aspect. It demonstrates that he, like Mr. Bryan, realizes that the triumph of Democratic principles is of more importance than any personal candidacy; and that, in order to win, the Democrats must have for a leader one upon whose nomination they can all Get NOVEMBER UTAH STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY, MILLINERY One-thi- rd St. Twenty-Fift- h 2344 Washington Ave. oil all Millinery until Comic Character Singer EllSOrS LATEST SONGS AND PICTURE 10fc ADMISSION Extra. 10c.
