Show yr TO VARIOUS INQUIRERS COMINGS G EV S CAST THEm THEIR B SHADOWS BEFORE T They y our friends are growing distracted and be to think that maybe th silver question is not dead deac and that next ne t time it will require a n vast amount of OZ money to buy and votes newspapers an enough to win Salt Lake Au 26 1898 The question is frequently asked why The Herald doe do not pay more at attention attention tenton to the tho th inconsistent political record of the Tribune It has not been our purpose often orten so to do editorially for several reasons First that journal td d not point of this campaign second people generally under understand understand understand stand the nature a ur of oZ iUs ith flop third a lie travels a league while truth Is pulling on Its ft boots boot 8 and our contemporary has ha had bad so o many years experience in Ix I long distance races ot of this kind that truth would find the conditions more than usually unequal We will give ve an illustration or two Quoting The Heralds assertion that for lor silver eliver men the first step in this second battle batHe is lo to t elect Bryan ryan It prO coeds to specify tip twelve horrible things that silver men will also have to vote for tor Of Ot these specifications five relating to greenbacks national banks bonds railroads government by injunction and courts are In the most dire direful direful ful jul phraseology exaggerated and unfairly stated state Assuming s however these are as bad as painted they are re in no respect different from the platform J dec dee declarations tour four years ago ague when that paper was very strenuous that silver sliver men should uld vote vot or waive them In to get Ir coinage And it did not discover their inherent wickedness until a n few tew months ago Another spec specification specIfication equally eri terrifying Is that to vote for Bryan would indicate an e opinion Jon ion that t at there Is 18 a secret alliance between the United States and Great Brit Bitt Britain ain am I IThe The other six specifications refer to questions growing out ot of the Ithe Spanish war in regard to which silver sliver Republicans voting for Cor Bryan would unfortunately unfortunately unfortunately find themselves in the company of such cutthroats ts ers doubters demagogues and traitors as Frank J 3 Cannon Senator Dubois Dubols Senator Teller Senator Wellington Sena

In whole w ole or In part condemned the very acts and policy to oppose which now gives our contemporary such a 0 nightmare A few of or those named have decided to condone the presidents offenses like Senator Hoar who first of ot all an desires to once o ce again bury silver Surely this does not strongly 8 appeal to silver men that they should also go into the condonation business in order to t assist the senator in the burial services s And as ns to Mr Bryans status as a a silver sUver man what would be the use of wasting much time on a contemporary whose moral obliquity permits It to announce that a silver sUver argument cannot be framed by any anyone one this year and andIn andIn andIn In the same sam breath denounces Mr Bryan for not doing dIng what Jt ft t asserts to be bean bean bean an impossibility It is so convenient to overlook that Mr Bryan stands on a silver plank which only sixty days ago this contemporary insisted he had imposed upon a great areat convention I It Is so characteristic for a paper that preached sliver sUver for fifteen en years and now dares not say r 1 word in favor of bimetallism to doubt the sincerity of ot a min maO who never ti Ver has occasion to retract anything It Is fB so natural for tor a Journal that finds its Sneers of a today answered by Its statements of yesterday to impugn the character of ot Mr 1011 Bryan who told his neighbors recently that he could not look them in the face if I for any po political HUMI favors they could bestow he had to abandon any of ot tile the principles for which he had contended in the past post It Is Ia so appropriate that a man who congratulates his hearers that hav hay having having hayIng ing seen sean the of the sold gold old standard they are now with him not only on the silver question but on all the new questions also that such a aman aman aman man should be vilified by a publication that has embraced the of ofa ofa a gold goki standard We desire to remind our readers that this contemporary through a period of oj say months published a daily dally demonstration that at t the bottom of the principles of financial fin science lay laws so immutable that they could never be disregarded In March 1898 answering a goldbug it denied there is ever eer a time when men mo should abandon a sacred acred principle on the settle settlement settlement settlement ment of ot which the worlds prosperity and civilization are to advance or re retreat retreat treat trent This argument was continued d column after column until about eighteen eighteen eighteen teen months
