Show THC REAL CAMPAIGN ISSUE People who are not yet familiar with the principles of Democracy should be careful not to look tor information infor-mation from Republican sources Particularly Par-ticularly they should avoid papers which opposed on purely partisan grounds to the election of any Democrat Demo-crat to public office are ready to misrepresent mis-represent his position and his principles princi-ples at the cost of truth and common I decency I When any paper pictures the Democratic Demo-cratic party as opposed to home industries in-dustries desirous of fostering foreign manufactures and destroying American Ameri-can labor and trade favorable to the deprivation of the franchise of a large body of voters opposed to any principle prin-ciple of the Constitution denying the right of the government to throw any protection around any class of citizens or to offer rewards for any enterprise they may inaugurate it is simply seeking to deceive the public and to accomplish by falsehood that which it cannot effect by fair means And of such are some alleged Republican papers pa-pers It is true that the Democratic party is opposed to the high tariff which has increased with the growth of the Republican party and to that policy which places heavy burdens of taxation taxa-tion on the many for the special and avowed benefit of the few It is opposed op-posed to the encroachment of the federal fed-eral power upon the constitutional rights of the several states It is against force bills which would give control of elections in the several states to a horde of United States marshals backed if necessary by the military It is hostile to that sort of protection which is In the interest of employers and offers no protection to employees which is formed to foster fos-ter monopolies and build up trusts and which while pretending to help the producersIa some special cases is never In the Interest of the consumers who form the entire pppulatlon And it denies the right of public functionaries function-aries to take the public funds and give them to private firms or corporations for private purposes If the Republican party favors these things that tho Democratic party is I against all the worse for the favoring party For though tt may flourish awhile on the deception It practices I JJ J 1 fi < i k on the people it is just as sure to go under as wrong is to go down before right and as constitutional principles are to prevaif over political heresies The issue in the approaching election is i not the prevalence of the principles d5 herein touched up0n It is which candidate can-didate will best subserve the interests of the people who are to elect him will he the best qualified for the position posi-tion and can be most relied upon as a legislator on territorial subjects Her He-r will cast no vote for protection or for free trade He will do nothing for or against wool lead or silver It is possible pos-sible that he may have to cast a vote on the question of taxing the whole people peo-ple of the territory the enrichment of a few and on that the people of Salt Lake city who pay so large a proportion propor-tion of the taxes ought not to hesitate hesi-tate five minutes They want a Representative Repre-sentative in the legislature who will vote public moneys for public purposes onlyVoters I Voters do not permit the sophistries of partisans to blind your eyes to the truth There have been hard times during the past year Demagogues always al-ways attribute prevailing disasters to the party in power because they know the masses of the people who feel these things most and understand their causes least are easily led by such specious deceptions If people will only stop a moment and think they will perceive that if any political party is responsible for the troubles of the year 1893 it is the party which made the laws and established the policy under which those disasters have occurred oc-curred Yet Republicans who know these troubles came on year by year under Republican rule and culminated this year under the same influence wilfully wil-fully and intentionally lie to the people and say they are the effects of Democratic Demo-cratic power when not a Democratic law had been enacted Under the high tariff everything affecting af-fecting the industries and products of Utah went down in price The fall in wool wheat pork beef lead silver and the rest was under Republican laws and policy and any denial of that is equal to denying that the leaves do not fall in autumn or that the frosts of winter do not chill the ground But these questions are not pertir nent to our local election except in avery a-very indirect manner They have to be referred to because of the < Tmsrepre sentations of Republican sophists What the voters of this city should study is to learn which candidate may be fully entrusted with the peoples local interests in-terests and whose election will be most likely to aid in the accomplishment of the grand end in viewthe admission of Utah into the Union as a state That the Democratic candidate only fills these requirements every Democrat and a great many Republicans frankly and truly admit |
