In the I'nited States a man who should be-come mixed up rn such an affair could never hope to win exalted political honors; aud if the American spirit ani-mated Iirilish hearts, sueh a scandal as this would lead to au agitation over tb. that the manager in the present liberal party are not available io the new order of things. l iAii roi.iricg. The Chicago Inter-Ocea- has the fol-lowing from this city under date of May 25. It coutaius some plain statements of some plain truths: "Tha territory of I'tah is in the be-ginning of a great revolution. Never iu the history of tho mormon people has polities been so important a thing to them as it is at the present moment. Heretofore there have been but the gentile against tho mormon, and the country and congress iu warm sympa-thy with the gentile and against the Saints. The mormon church has ai- - ways been a unit at the polls, and the gentiles equally united, irgardless of tlieir alliiiatiuns with the national par-ties But this is ail to bo changed, and, as it now appears, to tho advantage of the mormons. J lie territory is to have a democratic and u republican party, iho democratic parly is airnady organ-ized aud in the lield, Las bought the Salt Lake Daily Herald, the leading mormon paper, and made a directory of prominent gentiles and mormons. "The republican party is in the fains of travail struggling for birth uud life, opposed by the leaders of the liberal party now iu power in this city and a few other localities. Tht the lii.erals will have to yield is a foregone conclu-sion, aud the sooner they do so the better for the republicans. This is made necessary by the organisation of the democratic party, which has already united with the democrats of the peo-ples' party, and unless tho liberals, who are iu a" great majority republicans, unite with the republicans of the church it will boa walk-ove- forihe democrats With the republicans thoroughly or-ganized and sineereiy determined to deal honestly aud fairly, dropping all the old prejudice and burying the past and going in to win with their mormon brother republicans, it is a question w hether or not they can carry this ter-ritory in the next, presidential election. It has been the general impression that the mormons are all democrats; their press has certainly been so in sentiment aud in profession, and they have been so regarded by the nation-al democratic party, but, to my surprise, 1 find very many are repub-licans, and they are as enthusiastic in establishing the republican party iu this territory as the gentilo republicans can well be, but ou no consideration could they be induced to vote with the liberal party, therefore if the liberal party is determined to continue its present course, the republicans will be divided, nnd in choice of evils will desert both the liberals aud the republicans and vote w ith the democrats. This state of things is somewhat surprising, consid-ering the intelligent moii that form the rank and file of the republican party in I tah. Men not wanting otlice, moved by pure philanthropy, desiring nothing but the greatest good for the territory. "Of course, this is the very beginning, and a little time may bring about a calm and cool judgment and the aban-donment of tho liberal organization that has, apparently, finished its work. No one expects that this can be accom-plished without dilliculty, for the reason gist that tile wrong of demonetization, when partially remedied, should not iuvolve a direct theft fnm than). TMK I'dSll lOr, r HII.VKK. Tim Transmississippi congress, which has just been boldnig forth in Denver, was not harmonious even in its iniqui-ties aud absurd ilirs. While the gather-ing asked for free coinage, more than half of its members would bo satisfied to confine this til the American product in the beginning and to let in the out-side world's metal later on. Of course if the coinage were restricted to the home output disaster would not come to the country so early as if the Uiints were thrown" open to the rest of the globe as well, but as the government already buys the whole of the domestic product, under the bullion deposit law, it is not easy to see how the silver "cause" would be materially strength-ened by the change suggested. The silver miners would be helped by free coinage, but there is a pretty deep-seate- d conviction in the minds of the people that the country owes no fur-ther favors to the silver kings. (ilobe Democrat. The foregoing presents the objection that exists against the proposal to give free coinage to the American product, Rnee the plan is open to thu charge that it is simply a scheme to benelit the silver mineiSj However, since the govern-ment is determined to limit the coinage to an amouui equivalent to the home production, it is perfectly right to ask that the producers be given the full benelit instead of being compelled to lurreuder a portion of their hard earn-ings. We now have tho entire product ,iiit in use by tho government but 2,j per cent toll is taken from it. It is the greatest outrsgo ever perpetrated upon any people and the demand that full value be giveij is legitimate. Tho farmers are as much interested in this demand as are the producers of silver, for the plan would take the hand of the government from thu metal aod the rise here would be followed by a similar advance in all the money cen-ters. It has been clearly demonstrated that the prices of all products are af-fected by the price of tilver and any-thing that will advance the quotations ori the metal will be of direct benelit to the men who grow w heat, and oorn and roiton. This is a feature of the silua-- tion which i persistently ignored by the eastern press, but it is forcing itseif upon the public mind. People are beginning to realize that the Almighty placed the silver and the Hold in the boweU of tho mountains for n purpose, and that any human action running contrary to that purpose must work public disaster. Tho iron was mado for one purpose and was deposi-ted in quantities to suit that purpose; so also was the lead ami copper, and to also were tho gold and the silver. If ve are at liberty to guess at. the pur- - poses of the Creator from a review of human history, we cannot avoid .he conclusion that the two gn at precious metals were intended to be used jointly as a medium of exchange. If any human government should undertake to legislate iron out of use as a mater-ial for building engines, constructing buildings and equipping railroads, one S would say that the folly involved was criminal that the legislators were Hy-ing in the face of nature and entailing disaster upou the world. Iron was intended to carry men along in their mechanical alfairs, and the coin metals were designed to maintain the even equipoise of com-mercial relations. Values are meas-ured by them, and their production, under the operation of natural laws, maintains a practically unchanging re-lation to the demands made upon them. The unnatural legislation against silver lias destroyed this relation andthronn our financial system all out of joint. We Are accustomed to the sueering comuient that the silver miner is alone Interested iu the stnfys of silver, but the producers of the metal would be derelict to their duty to humanity if they did not hurl the charge back at its authors as often as it is put forward. There is no fear of disaster because of j silver coinage; the danger all lies in the j opposite direction. The silver miners stick, by this proposition, but they in- - J THE SALTJ.AKE TIMES.

Second Sou tlx. 1 IIVl.VO IN Til K PAST. The Ti.mks fears that there is danger of a revival hero of that old New Kng-lan-custom under which aged women were drowned or burned ou the chargo of" witchcraft. This fear U not an aiarnting one, but it is quite as reason-able as that which tha Tribuue euter-taiu- s regarding tho inornioiis. The ancestors of some of the geutleuieu who ia trembling in their boots e ill things that were done at Nauvoo fifty .years ago, were concerned in the persecutions that were carried on iu N'c'-- Holland in the. early days. TLetc is 6;.ch a tiling as carrying .peculation to a't extreme and it tho Tribune, has nut dotio so in its hsue of iodjy, we must eouli ss that we are mi-abl- e to judge of tho ridiculous. It ac-tually quotes a document alleged to have been issued by some women of tho mormon church in ibil; and this is dune in support of the assertion that the younger generation of the mormon people who hold the boards today are practicing deception noon the people of this city. If that is sound argument then we mint look for a revival of reli- - g.ous prosecution, of witch burning, of slavery, and of everything else that has been btir.ed by tho advance of tho years, simply beeauso there is evidence in the musty records of earlier generation that people once toieraled them aud believed in thein. It was very hard for some of those people of the olden lime to believe that any change could come in the steins that they had supported, and it is, just so, very hard now for some of our lib-eral friends to rea'.i.o that the condi-tions which surrounded them in tho past have disappeared and given place to a healthy order of things, such as they themselves desired when they set out upou their early campaigns and whicli they would readily have accepted if it had been established be-fore they had become incased in the shells that now bind them. 'J'iikTimi.s will mako this proposi-tion: if at some date, say tifteeu years ago, a change should have come in a night establishing the conditions that now exist, it would have unquestioning!)-a-ccepted. If w hile men ulept the world could have been carried forward to the present time; if the liberals had awakened and found the old leaders of the opposition gone; if they had found young men at the holm anxious to have old animosities forgotten; if they had opened their eyes in euch a city and such a territory as we have today w ith its constantly increasing infusion of new blood; if they bad found that polygamy had been abandoued and that its abandonment was believed everywhere to have beeu in entire good faith iu short, if they could have walked forth aud found that iu a single sleep they had been transported into a now era, finding themselves iu the midst o! a busy, progressive popula-tion, all classes of which were inspired ' by the highest aspirations of American citizeusfiip, they would have said "Our work is fin-ished; we can now devote ourselves to advancing the interests of this great territory w ith the proud conscious that we can-soo- n make it the most prosper-ous and the most populous section in tho west." The Timks dees not impugn tho mo-tives of the men who are lighting the change that has taken place, but it docs say that they have become so bound up iu past conditions that they now at-tempt to live in the past iustead of in the present; aud this is very clearly thowu by the Tribune's Xauvoo illus-tration. The Tribune is endowed with some most marvelous powers, the display of which pnts it ia a contradictory posi-tion. It belongs to the class who do not believe that the mormon church ever received n revelation from on high; but while it ridicules the claim that the church was ever given any knowledge f the thoughts of Deity, it lays claim itself to a thorough knowledge of the thoughts of the men who aro at the head of the church. It has gutton so that if any of those men have any doubt as to what their reflections may have been they oa!y have to rofor to tho columns of the paper in question. Whatever individual may think of mormon reve-lations, it must be admitted that the ollicisls of tha church have never claimed to know what were the work-ings of other meu's minds. People judge of men's thoughts by what they eee of their preseut actions. The actions of tho mormon people cleany indicate that they earnestly desire to take their church out of polities aud establish it iu quiet harmony with the laws nnd the sentiment of the country; but the Tribune knows men's thoughts ami it tolls us in detail how these people ai'B laving out a course that would lead to practical destruction of their church. Chnrch-Aoln- c Md Easy. New York Morning Journal 1'eople who don't like to go to church Sunday mornings now have an easy way out of the dilliculty. All that they have to do is to buy Kdiaon's latest and most wonderful invention tho myste-rious "kinetograph," and they can have sermons at home, in the cool se-clusion of their drawing rooms. Yea: thev may even listen to them while they recline in their beds, wooing the breeze with the palm-lea- f fan on sultry Sun-day mornings. C.M.d to tit a Faotor. Kanas City Star. Tho Latter Day Saints have ceased to be a factor in the politic of Utah, and all issues henceforth will be on national party lines. Tho Kdmunds law has wrought a bloodless revolution in the territory. Salt Lakh has everything to hope for iu connection with the rumors that aro in circulation regarding the Deep rek road. The building of that line this year would mean the increasing of this city's business from 25 to 00 per cent within eighteen months after its completion. It would open the richest an;! largest undeveloped mineral terri-tory in the 1' idled States, and the great Volume of trade that would immediately spring up would be tributary to Salt Lake. 'The value of property here would be increased enormously and the geueral prosperity would bo enhanced to an extent that can scarcely be estimated. If it be not true that the beginning of work on the road is. at baud, tiio business men of the city ought to form some kind of an associa-tion to start it. They should do as the live men of other places have so often done in the past make a start, thereby showing their good faith, and then call iu assistance to complete the work. I5y following such a plan the road could be secured, and Salt Lake would be given the commanding position which .its people hope to see it assume. The liberal organ, in speaking of the advantages of Salt Lake, says: "Noth-ing but political aud religious conten-tion has held it back aud kept it an in-ferior town while all amund it cities have materioli,ed." This is a great truth; and it is equally true that the place would be kept back for twenty-liv- e years more if the religious conten-tion should be maintained, if the Tribune had had its way an organized opposition, composed of all the gentiles, would have beeu kept up against the church, and the members of the church would have remained cemented together in its defense. Following that paper's theory that it would not be safe to diyide while tho proportion of votes was such that the Mormon vote cast solidly would con-trol results, we find that the day of ces- - saliou of religious contention would be at least twenty-liv- e years in the fjture. Indeed it would probably be a century away, for this territory would never stride forward at the gait that should characterize it while a religious war .was maintained. It is a great disappointment to the Herald not to be able to carry every-thing iu this city for democracy. .The fart is that the republican organization shows more real streugth than the dem-ocratic. The Herald has read the liberal democrats out of the party, and pro-ceeds upon the assumption that that settles it, resorting to the shallow argu-ment that tiie liberals are ail repub-licans. The people of Salt Lake will not be fooled by such utterances as that. The remnant of the liberal party retains about the same proportion of democrats that the organization had when in its prime; and a majority of the most fanatical liberals today are democrats. The Herald's efforts to be-little the republican movement, simply displays the fear with which it is viewed. The republican party is here, aud it is here to stay. When noses shall finally be counted it will havn a majority, aud the shadow of tho forthcoming result naturally makes restless dreams for our democratic contemporary. Mr. Frauk S. Puksukk.y, manager aud treasurer of Public Opinion of New York aud Washington, has submitted a proposition to tho Chamber - of Com-merce, that if the individuals and firms composing that body will furnish 105 yearly su tiscriptious to Public Opinion it will publish gratuitously a four-pag- e article on the resources of Salt Lako and Utah, to be prepared by Secretary (ili.i.Esi'iE. Publio Opinion is one of the most popular journals published, and hasalarga and wide spread circula-tion among intelligent and well-to-d-people of the entire country. It is also a recognized authority fur investment advertising. It is to be hoped, there-fore, that its most liberal oiler will be promptly accepted. Such an article as it proposes to publish would be of vast benefit to our city. A VEitr interesting.republican meet-ing was held in the Fourth precinct last evening and a good club was started. These clubs will soon be organized all over the city and will be a power in shaping the political complexion of Salt Lake. With the activity being shown by the democrats, republicans generally should take an interest in this work. This city and territory can easily be made republican in sentiment, but the opjiortunity would be lost for a generation if the republicans should not bestir themselves now. |
