Show KALL the oman of lies hugly scored DEMOCRATS FALSELY CHARGED AS FREE TRADERS the tariff boef bot the wage question at half past beven evening alie theatre was full of people assembled to attend the democratic rally mr david evains called the meeting to order in doing so lie slated the object of the rally alluding to the inharmonious convention that was bield in the afternoon and asked alie forbearance and charity of the people in overlooking everything that might appear to have disorderly the speakers who had been invited to be present tonight biad on account of the defeat they suffered in the convention declined to remain still several prominent gentlemen add concluded to stay and interest the st of the people the chairman then introduced mr van cott of salt lake city waldermar van cott assured the public that it was not with any enthusiasm that he addressed the people he referred to the coave ct on and the manner in which the minority treated i defeat instead of bravely standing their defeat biad gone to work and their friends whereas they should havu exhibited the spirit cf fairness and maintained the principle that the majority rules as I 1 hope it always will the speaker then alluded to the tariff on wool and showed alie depressing and disastrous effects alie present tariff on that product was causing free wool will encourage and nut depress our manufactures the united states today to day deeb not produce enough wool by a million pounds to keep our factories running consequently were the tariff taken oaf the imported product wo would not only keep our factories running but we would also have cheaper clothing the american would get more for his wool if the present tariff was taken off that product alim he gets this was plainly and clearly demonstrated in congress during the recent debates on alie mills tariff bill the present tariff on wool benefits the manufacturers it is true but where one manufacturer is benefited a hundred farmers arc robbed it is better for one man to suffer than a hundred there one person out of every five thousand of the population of the united states who is in the wool growing business hence the sheep men make their profits from the four thousand and odd others around then it is true I 1 am interested in sheep raising and I 1 am in favor of free wool but j the market does not depend on the pro fits made in wool growing as a good many suppose but on the supply and demand take it in everything no matter what and you will find ft is the same mr david evans said it had been persistently argued by wool growers that if was to be placed on the free list it would result in disaster to the wool interests of territory statistics wherever wool has been allowed to enter the ports free prove this to be a fallacy he would call upon mr ben who was thoroughly posted on the subject to speak to the people mr ben eaid he was somewhat disappointed at the way things turned at the democratic convention in the afternoon he had for vears longed to attend a convention of democrats and he hailed today with pleasure but when lio came here he was sorely disappointed instead of finding a democratic convention he was sorry to sav that it was an old time liberal meeting applause in speaking upon the political situation of the territory ho would naturally refer to v the several political 1 1 parties A in utah and the peoples barty would of necessity be among them he trusted he would not hurt the feelings of una one while speaking upon the situation the condition the territory is in to dav is deplorable and instead of blaming congress or alie people of the united states for it we should ask ourselves if we are not responsible individually the liberal party claims the honor of having done all the good that has been accomplished complis hed in this territory but I 1 say the forces of civilization ha done more toward sit than the by the way is the most ill liberal party I 1 have ever heard tell of now it would be better for all liberals and peoples party men alike to leave their several organizations and ally themselves with either the democratic or republican party I 1 would strongly advice you to join the democratic party if you dont you wont have the privilege much longer as the republican party is nearly used up it was killed at alie last presidential election and in my opinion it will be buried next november Mr Casaday of salt lake city was proud to address the people on the principles of democracy he blood before them as alio substitute of mr norrell ahoon account of having delivered such an impassioned speech as he did in the convention had rendered himself unable 13 appointment his voice having failed hijii bo as to render him unable to speak mr casaday alluded to alie misrepresentations made bv republican papers which a lie juht as good for democratic aa the truth the speaker then gave the people a pointer and that was Itt hev wanted to know anything concertin con cernin democratic doctrine neat r go to a R publican source for it so far as the tariff question is concerned lie in a tariff on every imported article that needs to be taxed in order to protect our own industries ami manufactures borne republicans would probably siy a dema al talk like that 1 hv against alie democratic platform but is it no decidedly not alie speaker read the st louis platform to prove liis assertion have been charged with traders what does allan G that blackstone of america say about this he declares that alia man who says we believe in broo fiade is either willfully falsia ing or asserting that of which he knows not liin T e milla bill proves that the democratic party does not believe in free trade why aliat is free trade nothing more or less than taking the tariff off evera imported article arl icle whoever heard 0 f jicy democrat believing in lucli a doctrine as that alie fact of the matter is there are too many republican organ like that vile paper the salt lake tri amne misrepresenting facts and figures v hv a time ago I 1 read an article i eliat sheet on the tariff question that was not true in the least particle so sir as the tribune is let me here say that we dont want such a sheet on our gide we have no use for any argan that lias to wilfully lie to make its point applause our republican trends state hat if we take alio tariff off goods wo not only injure our industries and manufactures ant necessarily have to cut down alie wages of our working men let mo tell you that the tariff has nothing at all to do with alio wage uc sion take protective germany for instance and class her with tree trade england aud what do you find aou find that the wages of protective germany are lower considerably than of england hence that is no argument nt all some will say alie conditions of cheso two nations are different let us see how it is then in the united states the wages in new york are lower than they arem chicago and the further west we go the higher wages we find the working men retting 86 this positively kroics that the tariff does not regulate tho wag question tha present tariff is a rich tariff or as the quality of the goods come down goods the p man must have the tariff goes up while as the grade of good goes up which the rich purchase the tariff comes down the speaker then scored the republican party for corruption and dishonesty and de silver proving that party to bo the guardians of rich monopolists and trust and oppressors of the poor in giving away whole empires of land that should have been reserved for homes of alie poor to fat railroad corporations sir david evans made the closing speech in which he paid a glowing tribute to the fearless and honest administration of president grover cleveland during the nearly four years he has been in power notwithstanding alie fearful and awful results that were predicted hy our republican friends would take place in alie event of n democratic president being elected A vote of thanks was then tendered dr hannberg for decorating the theatre and also to the speakers for their kindness in athe audience the meeting was then adjourned the committee are deserving of great praise for their untiring efforts |
