Show THEY ALL SEE IT. The agitation which has been going on for a week in favor of home labor and .home material ia the paving of Main street has a broad ' application to the political situation ' in Utah that ought to be appreciated. When we are talking of protecting our own home and local interests right here in Salt Lake, of building up our enterprises and using the natural resources re-sources stored in our mountains, there is not a man or newspaper who dares to stand up and openly oppose us. But when we are talking of the great principle of protection as applied to American industries against the outside world, Democrats argue in favor of the very proposition which they indignantly indignant-ly reject when it comes up in relation to paving Main street. Can they not see that in both cases the principle is the same that in both cases Republicans are aiming to protect and build up home interests against outside competition? We hope the agitation over an important im-portant local question has paved the way to Republican success in Utah as well as provided for the paving of our streets by home labor and with home material. |
