What do the people of Utah think of a party that will tako such t ttand la reference to h matter that i of such great importance to the country?

Get right down to the meat of the ques-tioi ques-tioi and compare the positions of the two parties and see which correspond with the Utah idea.

A N Al IOX A I, Tit H M I'll. The United States is a gre it nation. Every citien has a direct interest in-terest in every part of it. Tho democratic, demo-cratic, party with its ideas of states rights, would have the people show a spirit of secti uialisiu in thrir views, but the truly American spirit is that which enlists the interest of rach citien cit-ien in anything that affect the inter est of any community over which our j common ling (loals. L, lan is nut nae y io eii(iae in iuu iu-dustry iu-dustry of manufacturing tin-plate at any time in tho near future, but there are other American communities where the business is being established and tho fact is ono that interests our people iu common with thoso of all part of tho country. It seems probable that in a very few years the United States w ill be manufacturing all of this product pro-duct that it needs. Tho achievement achieve-ment is ono that will be cause for universal congratulation among Americans, anil tho present promising prospects of it ought to be recognized by the voters of every suction suc-tion iu the nloctions this tall. The establishment of the tiu-plate industry in-dustry will be a national blessing nnd tho party that has made it possiblo ought to secure tho support ef every progressive citizen. Itwill bo of more benefit to tho United States than everything every-thing done by tho democrats in forty years. The United States has bocn paying about $J0, 000,000 annually for English tin-piate, nearly the entire sum rrpreseutiug labor. The mining aud sniulling of tha iron snd the manufacture of th bSnek-plates furnishes employment employ-ment I a crji 1 1 T'i y of mec, while the iiuuir.g c:f tho plates p it work in tha hands of slill auother .rray. With the founding of the industry in this country a sum nearly if not quite equal to the amount heretofore paiil for Welsh plate will be annually distributed amoni American workmen, who in turn will spread it among the producers of articles ar-ticles oi food and clothing, the builders of homes, and all who derive business from tho requirement:) of civilied life. Twenty million dollars will bo saved annually to the country to be distributed distrib-uted among our own people, and the ripening of the door for this great bless- ' ing ought to be celebrated by a grand fhuwer of republican ballots in the coming elections. 1 There is ample testimony to show that tho effort to secure the industry is going to be entirely successful. The fact that wo can mako tin-plates hii3 been fully established. Soveral mills are rnuoiug on a small scale already, and these and others are preparing to mako large outputs. One extensive contractor in New York is putting on roofs of American tin exclusively, finding find-ing it better than the imported article. The Welshmen have made up their minds that the Americans are in earntMt and that they will succeed. As a result, they are devUing means to cheapen their own product so that they can pay the increased tariff and still cut prices to a ruinous point. The best judges believe that this plan cannot succeed, though it is thought that it will worrv our neoule. to some extent. A favorite theory has been that climatic cli-matic conditions in this country were such that the business could not be successfully suc-cessfully conducted, but this is being ! abandoned. The theory was advanced in former years in relation to iron and steel but was soon proved to be incorrect, incor-rect, when, under adequate protection, the business of manufacturing iron and steel w as int upon a broad basis here. Fair Trade, an industrial paper published in London, receutiy referred to this ffaturs of the matter. Regarding t!ie old theory in relation to iron and steel it said: "Such belief has been entirely falsified, for in iron and steel ;he United States has not or.'y succeeded beyond tho wildest hopes, but h;is taken the lead which the United Kingdom has probably lost forever." The paper goes on to declare its belief that in the tia plato industry "the day of re- j vemt" has com for British interests and ! tnat America will secure control of its own market, wuich by long odds is the i best in the world. ' Evideuce as to the coming success of j the industry -jnight be continued at j great length; but what The Timks j wishes to call particular attention to is i tho fact that no democratic speaker, j nor any democratic paper.has extended j a word of encouragement. 'I he demo- ; crats have worked curly and Isle to prevent pre-vent the establishment of this industry in the United States. They voted aiainst it in congress aod are proclaiming azaiust it now.
