Show I i I THE SALT LAKE TIMES. TUESDAY. MAKCH 10, 1891. 5 STANLE'MICASDS.: Ths Hero of tbe Dark Continent Tells of His Twenty-Thre- e Tears Work in the Heart of Africa. HI3 MAGNIflOENT EGOTISM. Hii Trials, Bufferings and Triumphs The Founding of the Congo free States Hope for tho Future. What a magnificent egotist is the nrnn Stanley. An egotist, however, who has just reason for being such;who would almost be more than a man were lie otherwise. No man, of tundorn times has so much cause for egotism as has Henry M. Stanley. Probably few men could show It less. Flattered by monarch; courted by princes.houored by savants; worshiped by sovereign citizens of a great republic is not this enough to make hiui even more of an egotist than he is? (Ireat, however, as have been the honors that have been showered upon him; fulsome as has been his measure of (lattery; just as has been the position accorded him as a geographer, explorer and discoverer; still ho cauuot deny himself a (ling at the carping of littler men. This might at least have boeu omitted. A lecture otherwise perfect Africa. The building of tbe great road from Vivi to Stanley Pool, the hostility of tho native tribes along the river, the building of the first little town. What a pleasing pic-ture was that first post of civilization on the Congo (on his map Mr. Stanley spoils Congo with a C), tlie double row of neat wooden cottages, ranged on either sido of .a long, wido street, and painted white and blue, with a yard to each, in which nourished tropical plants of every variety. Some" things in connection with tha Kmin relief expedition might have beeti omitted. Why need Mr. Stanley tell us that Kmin. after being rather unwil-lingly rescued, got drunk and foil from a second story window, narrowly es-caping with his life. Kmin was in Africa before Mr. Stanley, ho has been the more successful of the two in his management of the natives, his name is linked with that of tho opening of Africa, but in spite of this fact Mr. Stanley for eight years never meutioucd bis name. The twenty-thre- years with Stanley in Africa w'ill not soon be forgotten by anyone who was with bim last night, and with tho work of the great explorer the beginning of a great future for the dark continent is seen. Thirty steam-ers now ply the waters of, the Congo, and innumerable steam launches now cleave the waters of the great lakes. This year a navy will be placed upon the lakes; railways are now being con-structed by the Belgian and German governments, and an Knglish road has already been completed for a distance of forty miles. Over fifty missionary station's have been established that pre-cept and example may not be wanting for the regeneration of Africa. should not have been marred by a blot that can indx.ito only a twinge of jeal-ousy. The press, he said, had called him hard names. But did it ever try to do-tra-from the greatness of the work he has accomplished? There was a bitter controversy between himself and his officers. Hard names and ugly accusa-tions were exchanged. Tho press gave the details; it could not do otherwise. IIo himself has bcou a uewspapor man (:ind ho referred to himself as a re-porter proudly), and he must under-stand this. Why, then, that one scar on the polished surface of th't glass in which he showed us the picture of his noble work in Darkest Africa?. Stanley's lecture last night was a curious exposition of the character of the man. It has been said that no man ever went to Africa with him and cum t bick bis friend. In tho plainest of w nils he told us why. He had occa-- on to write a letter to one of his lieu-tenants. It was couched in the follow-ing words, as nearly as I can remember it: "If you consider yourself a mem-ber of my party, bind my commands upon your brow. Get you a boat and set sail for this place, and do it without delay." A truer picture of Henry M. Stanley was never drawn than those few words depict. Stanley's work in Africa was maguifi-rent- . The task was au Herculean one. lie accomplished it in a manner almost Siibliine. Ho suffered; ho eudured; ho y came off more than conqueror. The re sults-hav- been glorious, and as tho years go on they will becomo more and more glorious. Tho liberator of Africa, his name has forever become a part of its history, lie brought to a triumphant completion sthe conception of David Livingston, a greater man than himself, and because of w.iom hecannot restrain a small thrust of what can it be called jealousy 'scarcely, but envy, perhaps, because another name than his own is linked with the bringing of light to the dark continent. Probably he is scarcely aware of it, and only his unconscious and, tit the same timo, magnificent egotism gives it utterance. Stanley's welcome to Salt Lake ' was almost an ovation. Inspito of seas of liipiidescent mud; in spite of drizzling rain; in spite of lowering clouds, the theater did not have even "standing room" left. A more Intelligent audience never lilled that auditorium. It represented the best culture of tho city. It was not an which would on ordinary occa-sions enthuse, still tho reception of the great explorer was genuinely enthusi-astic. Stanley is a magnificent num. Tho rnomeut he stepped on the stage, the charm of his presence was felt. Hois a handsome man and looks like a hero. His snow-whit- e hair; his square, deter-mined faco and compact form aro at Dnco prepossessing. He is one of those men who look well iu full dress, lie Ihows just the slightest tendency to Unbonpoint. His body is rather long and his legs rather short, as aro uIbo bis arms. His clothes do not have.the appearance of fitting (at least not snug-ly). Tho legs of tho pantaloons seemed long, also the sleeves of his coat, but ho Is one of tho men who appear even bet-ter dressed under these apparent disad-vantages. Ho is a good speaker; talks plainly and directly and without any striving after oratorical effect. Ho toldjhis story clearly hud in terse, vigorous language, lie has tho power of placing vividly e his hearers the scenes through which he passed in few words. Not a gleam of humor showed through pictures of arduous toil and nwful privation and suffering. At one point it was the mellow haze of rich banana w ine on tho borders of a calm and lovely inland sea; at another the carefully planned reception of a pomp-ous native sovereign with a troublo-Bom- e conscience which would only be fjuieted by the extortion of more tribute Irom tho white invader. Alore magnificent word painting than the description of tho march through the tropical forest is not to be found iu the English language. In words few and terse ho painted tho picture in all Its awful grandeur; the blackness of the forest, tho drippiug moisture from the tropical foliage, pools of stagnant water encrusted with slime; (he tatlon limbs of trees, rotting and slimy; gi-gantic serpents and tho millions of turning vines fornvng a network so dense that tho ray- - of the sun never penetrated thorn. There were other pictures Oue was that of a Christmas day under the eonator. at the base of tbe Mountains of the Moon, when the weary explorers gathered blackberries in the midst of a sceno of verdant beauty and drank water, pure and cool that flowed from the snow cupped mountains that over-shadowed them. And there were the voyages on the mighty river the CotiiM. Its rushing current, ever in-creasing in volume, dotted by thous-ands of green and lovely islands, and its banks clad in tropical glory. The of the founding of the Congo free states. In rapid terse sen-tences he sketched this, probably tho most important of his work in HON. IIIIRUS llflOM One of the Foremost Men in America in the Farmers' Alliance Movement. VIEWS ON MONETARY QUESTIONS The Bill More Important Than First Appears They Favor Frte Coinage of Silver. Tho reporter of Tiik Times last night met tho Hon. Charles Boone of Warren, Illinois, who is now spending a few days in this city on bis return from a three months trip to tho Paeilie coast. The meeting was a surprise and a de-light iu more ways thau one, for the reporter had known Mr. Boone from his very early boyhood and they bad been friends when one was a child and the other a man. Tha double pleasure arose from the fact that Mr. Boouo is now one of tho most prominent leaders of the farmers' alliance iu tho United States; ho is one of the leaders who helps to mould tho thought and formulate the principles of that organi-zation, and than which thero is no other which is attracting so much poli-tical attention and discussion today. There is so much interest manifested in this movement that it was esteemed an unusual privilege to meet and discuss the subject with one who has attained the eminence iu economic philosophy produce a greater era of prosperity among the farmers do you anticipate, that your party can carry the next Na-tional election v" "It is too early to express an opinion as to what might follow were we to en-ter national politics as a new party. Our movement is industrial and need not bo political unless forced to such policv bv tho enemy. We propose to accomplish our ends through peaceful and constitutional methods." "What do you think of tho chances of such men as Senator Stanford of Cali-fornia and Secretary Husk for tho pres-idential nominations of your party, both of whoso names are prominently mentioned in that connection?" 'Should we present a national ticket it is not likely candidates would bo se-lected who have already played a prom-inent part iu either of tho old patties. I am not aware of any special admira-tion on the part of alliance men for the two statesmen metitiotiod. It should be remembered that up to tho present mo-ment, and for a considerable period further, we shall have no occasion to propose anything but measures. Later, nhould tho exigency arise, we hope that the best men to head the ticket will be forthcoming. "Then, iias tho alliance- any sym-pathy with Mr. Boone, oris it favorably impressed with the single tax move-ment or the theories of Henry George lew farmers comprehend 1 it; doctrines advocated by Henry George in what is known a the single tax. The alliance is opposed to the ownership of land by aliens, and the, j withholding from use of largo tracts for speculative purposes." What is the senatorial situation iu Illinois?" ' Three alliance ntembers of the leg-islature hold tho balance of power be-tween the democrats and republicans. They regard this as an opportunity to elect their man by sheer persistence, as was onco before done in Illinois when Judge Davis became senator. The choice of these three members is A. J. Streeter, an old timo granger and greenbacker and a man possessed of all the- - qualifications for tho national senate except being a millionaire. 'u regard Ogleshy and l'almor as very re-- , speotahlo fossils, but not in sympathy with our ideasof monetary reform. The alliance respectfully declined them." "If organized as a national party what effect do you anticipate tho alli-ance would have ou the solid south;" "Wo declare iu our creed against na-tional ami sectional prejudice and strife. Organize 1 upon industrial lines, with common interests, political hatred among the people must die out." "State now iu what way you expect the financial changes you propose will benefit the country." "Reducing interest upon money to a low and uniform rate will assist debtors to liquidate. Mon who now iuvest in mortgages will not compete with the government but put their money into business. Tho larger volume of money iu circulation that Mr. Boone has. Some years ago ho was a most enthusiastic advocate of tbe greenback doctrine, and it was ob-served that the views he then enter-tained subjects had rather developed and progressed in tho same line rather than ho had changed. When, therefore, the reporter waited ou Mr. lioono at bis hotel, amunitioned with a roll of paper ami asked him to give his views 011 some of those topics, the dis-cussion of which bred the cyclone in the last election, metamorphosed tho complexion of congress and caused the hearts of certain senators who were not returned to their seats by the legisla-tures of their stales, to bo filled with an ulterable anguish and their lips to blossom with navy bluo profanity, on the damnable ignorance and iugrati-tud-of a species of human nature which asserted its rights to have a square meal ouce in a while and a suit of clothes doeeut enough to make a public appearance in; an untutored mob who asked that their wives aud daughters might experience the delights of decorating their forms in some of the beauties of raiment in which women tako pleasure; who demanded that their sons might bo endowed with an education which would qualify them for the duties of citizenship; we presumed that tho interview would bo profitable to himself and perhaps and educating to bis readers. In the first presumption ho was not dis-appointed and he doe9 not think he will be in tho last, especially not as regards thoso who are not so biased as to tear to listen to opinions which may be op-posed to their own. After a prelude of reminiscences the reporter propounded this question: "Mr. Boone will you please give me succinctly the main principles of the farmers' alliance platform?" "The aim of our movement is to in-struct our industrial classes in the science of economic government iu a strictly n spirit. We do noj, ask privileges for a few, but rights for all. Believing the great mass of our countrymen to be hopelessly in debt, with chronic business depression as a consequence, we seek relief chielly through improving our existing mone-tary system. We proposo that govern-nieu- t loans bo made diretly to the peo-ple, at low interest upon such security as their homes, farms, factories, and principal farm aud factory products afford. We want this system of loans to be organized in all its details upon a strictly safe and equitable basis as be- - will stimulato traoe anil rewanl production. The interest saved by a lower rate will reappear in a general advance in wages. Debtors, especially farmers, now crippled and disabled as customers, will have more of theirearn-ing- s to spend for 'improvements,' con-veniences and comforts present high rales of interest deny to them. Hence, work for tho unemployed. The interest accruing upon tho money loaned by government will go as revenue into the. public treasury to meet public expendi-ture, to provide funds for tho acquisi-tion of railroads and the construction of public works. Under our alliance monetary system ordinary taxation will disappear when, as a people, wo shall have learned to administer public affairs upon holiest aud economic principles." Mr. Boono is a very emphatic speaker, a clean-cut- , logical reason without a bit of the demogogue in his nature. Ho is plain and unassuming, very positive, yet desirous of being criticised and having the weak spots of his arguments pointed out. He is an houost and gentle spirited farmer about 00 years of age, not rich but in a good substantial position financially. Pecun-iarily tha measures he advocates would bo disadvantageous to him as he is so fortunately situated as to be able to loan money to his less favorably con-ditioned neighbors. iwoen government ami lnuiviuunis. '.'What strength has the movement in your own section, and what do you be-lieve it to be in the states you liavo re-cently visited?" "I am not advised as to present nu-merical strength, but understand ur membership to be over 1.200. Out). Counting other organizations more or less in affiliation with us, it probably exceeds 2,000,000." "Is then," pursued the reporter, "the farmers' alliance the old greenback party of some years ago more perfectly developed, and if not, what caused its inception?" "Tho alliance is undoubtedly tho joint growth of the grange and green-back movement. The educational work then done is bearing fruit now. The leadership has not changed in charac-ter, and not greatly iu person; to the men who deplored tho timid conserva-tion of the grange is duo the birth of tho alliance, and these men aro its active spirits today. "Now will you tell Tub Timks of tho condition of prosperity among the farmers of Illinois, and to what you at-tribute their misfortunes?" "There is no prosperity among Amer-ican farmers in any section of our country. Debt is too common, and tho interest tribute too excessive to permit of prosperity among our industrial pop-ulation anywhere," "Mr. Boone, will you now tell mo the position assumed by tho alli.inee on tho subject of the free coinage of silver." "Tho freo coinage of silver is one of the planks of our creed. So long as gold and silver are to be used as money wo want both metals to be placed upon an eipial footing us to coinage and legal tender." "Do you think that measure would prove beneficial to farmers and pro-ducers of wealth?" "Conjointly with all who favor" a larger volume of currency, we believe the addition which free coinage of sil-ver would bring, must stimulate busi-ness, and benefit all classes, with tho exception of the comparative few who draw fixed income from money loaned. These, however, as a matter of course, will antagonize us with ail their strat-egy and power. Tho alliance fpiite un-derstands that it is entering upon a tight with the dynnsty which reigns in Wall street and rules at Washington. Hence it confidently expects tho sym-pat- y and support of tho commercial and industrial population of our cities." "And now, Mr. Booue, would you be kind enough to tell nio what you think of tho bill and what vou believe to be its advantages and def-cts- ?" "There is really more merit in tho sub treasury scheme than at first sight appears. It is iu effect a proposition to hold over the surplus of prosperous seasons against our time of uved, by averaging reward to producers and C03t to consumers through a series of years, thus measurably avoiding glut at oue period and scarcity at another. It is intended as a blow to market mo-nopolization now so prolific of evil to all classes." "Should not hing intervene that would BUS IU ESS DIRECTORY. ' ARCHITECTS. TEED A. HALE, (LATl Of DINTBA.)
