crane prefaced his remarks by informing the audience that he proposed to correct some errors into which the people were led at the democratic ratification by rawlins king and thurman gentlemen said the speaker whose learning and powers of oratory far surpass my feeble efforts mr crane then cook mr rawlins to task for daring to cast aspersions on the character or general alger and for flauding lauding guomas jefferson too highly whom no termed as mr rawlins political god ho then alluded to south carolina Ja rolina as that hotbed of treason and democracy and called john C calhoun an arch traitor referring to the remarks made on the occasion previously mentioned he said your favoured favour ed son of provo hon asani isani thurman speaks and after lashing the republican back with the ame democratic whip he makes thib remark if trover cleveland was a inan of no ability who could not cven read or write I 1 would booner ote for him representing as he deeb hoo glorious principles of democracy than I 1 would for the most ably and intelligent man that could bo nominated by the republicans can it be possible gentlemen that this aright young lawyer lately admitted into the democratic ranks from the peoples party can utter such a sentiment that stomach counts for more han brains he rominda mo of the jid democratic war horae from jon who said that he would vote or a democrat if they put up a mule i now glance at the remarks ot another of the good men of provo dror pike whom I 1 presume is also a late recruit to the ranks ot democracy and who believes the principles of the democratic parr nave been secured by the blood 01 thousands from their and the death of patriots haw evolved these glorious principles ar chairmen it seems to me I 1 ariard these remarks before we ans kind of language in our meeting abuse every evening aleu vu wish to impress upon the young the early struggles of th church the learned dr forgets tc inform the peoples party democratic party that it wab alood of the republicans upheld thi jag which the traitorous democratic party tried to trail in the dust that a republican president a republican congress a republican Republic ac cenate and a republican army dur of the most stupendous wars of 0 modem times upheld the hag ahat anu and I 1 might enjoy the liber IBS of a republican government iho dr then proceeds to rehash that old stale exploded argument that the democratic party la tho poor mans party and then arraigns tho rich the poor and tella you that only tho rich are kicking against the tariff reduction air chairman I 1 am not tho aon of a prophet but I 1 predict that next november wo may see the democratic party snowed under so deep that the blast of gabriels horn will bo unable to resurrect them but mr chairman not hero to dissect the remarks of tho young teachers 1 merely wished to set them aright as a father does his erring child and lead them into the paths of righteousness and peace mr crane then proceeded to eulogize himself he said I 1 propose to deal in facts I 1 am a plain inan and I 1 know I 1 am sp ealing to ulam people I 1 am a utah farmer and abol grower and to thosa of my class I 1 now ad dross myself what I 1 say will be cast iron facts that you may spike to your cabin doors mr bawling wants cheaper clothing and I 1 suppose king and thurman the same well how and eliere do they to get it for today to day a better made suit can be purchased in the united states than can be purchased anywhere else in the world I will tell you how they propose to get it by placing wool on the free list and reducing the wages of the employers of our woolen factories to the level labor of europe let me illustrate in 81 82 sold my wool for 18 cents to per pound and gave my men wages to 35 per month fed them well and gave them good tents and wagons to live in and paid my 6 cents per head for shearing after the reduction of the tariff I 1 had to sell my wool for 14 cents reduced the wages to 5 cents and lowered alie wages of my employees per month and freight from 60 to 55 cents per hundred last season I 1 sold my wool for 12 cents a pounds lowered the wages of my employees to 25 per month to 5 cents per head and freight to 50 cents per hundred to nephi this year owing to the agitation of the tariff I 1 have been offered 10 cents for my clip a free trade basis almost audit I 1 receive no more shall again reduce my employees wages my wages my dippers wages my freighters wages ahall cease to import from california or the east fine hams I 1 shall cease to purchase the production of all the alarms in my neighborhood all th ebay grain and sorghum the stores now take in for goods f 1 purchase for cash that must stop now the last two years I 1 have expended 2000 in driving wells and in digging for water on the deserts but however without success that must stop this season I 1 want four miles of pipe to bring a mountain spring on the desert to supply my sheep with water I 1 cannot afford it at tha low price of wool all improvements and all to add wealth to the country must so far as I 1 am concerned caaso in australia wool can be raised for half what it costs fiere in hindustan hindostan Hind and china are millions of people who work for from 4 cents to 10 cents a day in the argentine republic shepherds get 3 per month and board themselves can icom peto with these people can you live on these wages freight from sydney and melbourne to boston are less than from utah to boston it will be the same with your factories the superintendent of that hive of industry in your midst can no more compete with germany and france in manufactures without reducing the wages of his employees than I 1 can in producing what tho tariff reformers call th aw material wool what is one mans raw materialist materi alis an others finished product the ore as it lies in our mountains untouched by the hand of man is raw material the minor drives in his pick and loads it on the car i then becomes his finished product every time you reduce the tariff on wool and air other articles that come in competition with american productions you add to the the value of the foreign product you benefit the foreigner at the expense of the american mr james E clinton of nephi in his opening remarks alluded to the vast natural resources of utah and the importation of foreign products and asked the very pertinent question why cannot we manufacture these for our own market why should we import so much when we have such natural resources right at our doors judge emerson who was the recipient of the greatest applause during the evening congratulated provo on the formation of a straight out and out republican club upon local issues and for local matters it may be as well to obliterate party lines but upon matters of national importance they should be preserved and the strictest attention paid to them ahe young men of this territory need to have the principles that un derli ethis great government explained to them that they might understand them thoroughly and comprehensively tha history of the republican party is something of which we are not ashamed it furnishes the brightest page in the history of our government there are many good men in the democratic party but how on earth they got there is something I 1 cannot explain it is true 3 remember thorn in my prayers and iho lord
