Caunou whs in Salt Lake City j j-esu-n'.uy in conference with the managers of !ii ennnai!jn. lie was in the best of health and spirits and expressed himself as veil satisfied with the outlook for republican republi-can success at homo and abroad. He went to Xcpl.i last niyht and spoke to a large j;Rtlivrin of the people in that town. He wa accorded a magnificent reception, and ttroucd the enthusiasm of the people to the highest pitch. He will ppeak in Sandy on November 4. Roberts and Elder Penrose go over the country coun-try literally tearing up the earth for Democracy, Democ-racy, talking about the baroni in the valley of the Runneymede wrestins: Maarna Charta from King John, the rebellion in heaven, the paternity of the constitution, etc. They do not seem to wince either at the juvenile way in which People's Delegate Caine is striving to awaken the religious prejudices of the people. All of these thintrs are intended for Democratic g.od, hence are proper. They want to be all things to ail men for j Democracy's sake, but when the Republican idea is held before them and is given the vantage ground that belongs to it, they begin be-gin to charge Punic, faith, and object to having hav-ing the light of history and the record turned on. Tiio facts are with rercrence to these mutters, mut-ters, as I view them, that Joseph F. Smith, like all other oitizons who are desirous of seeing justice done to Utah, who wish to have the people know fairly and openly the great steps and eras in American history the past and present records of the two great parties and who are anxious, too, that our young as well as old shall not be taught their civil governmeut.from ex-confederates arid from Calhoun and'ex-confederate standpoints, stand-points, has felt it his duty to take a hand in sacking to make this a great and a glorious Republican state, when the proper time for statehood shall have oorae. Again, if these would-be teachers of governmental gov-ernmental policy desire to quote history let them give us a perspective view of Democracy Demo-cracy on this continent; let them show what Democracy has done for this country. It won't do to run off to tho valley ot tha Runneymede or to ante-diluvan days. We desire to know whit they have done for the United States of America and what they propose to do for Utah. Again, we desire to know what great man or men this Democratic faith has produced in the last forty years. Whom are we teaching teach-ing our children to honor and revere. Under Democratic denomination what cities have awakened confidence and grown proudly and well within the laRt forty years. "Experience is one of the lamps by which our feet are guided." Daniel Haruixgtox. Salt Lake City, Oct. 31. THEY'RE AFTER DAVIS. - The Democrats are afraid that Davis county's coun-ty's vote wiil not suit them next week, and so have decided to pour hot shot into that county every night this week. John T. Caine will speak at Bountiful tonight, Cen-terville Cen-terville tomorrow night, Farmington Thursday Thurs-day night, Kaysville Friday night, and Lay-ton Lay-ton Saturday. In additiou, Rawlins will hold forth at Bountiful and Kaysville. f ireat pressure will be brought to bear upon Layton precinct. IT WAS A CORKER. The Young Men's Democratic club had a meeting at 221 S. Fifth West street last evening, even-ing, and from the report of the organ of Democracy this niornine it must have been a brilliant affair. William Condon made the startling and original statement that "we are on the eve of an election," while A. N. Gibson Gib-son said he was a Democrat Waldemar Van Cott insisted that the Republicans were robbers, but didn't attempt to prove it. Before Be-fore dispersing an announcement was made that a rally would be held at the same place next Friday evening. POOR OLD RHODES. This man Rhodes of Ogden is the most humorous cuss in Utah journalism. While his owu newspaper hulk is beating on the rocks of disaster, he predicts death and destruction de-struction to every other daily paper in Utah. He has just changed his paper from a morning to an evening issue and is struggling strug-gling hard to keep breath in its body till the polls shall close ou election day. Rhodes has discovered that he has no legitimate place in Utah journalism, and so writes bis own obituary inxlast night's issue as follows: "We have not made money out of this newspaper newspa-per buniness but we have had a' lot of cheap advertising." ad-vertising." j SALT LAKE COUNTY SPEECHES.

Ben Rich stands a remarkably good show of being the next county recorder of Weber. James Devine and the Republican county candidates will speak at Draper this evening. Colonel Peyton still thinks that there is no hope for the Republicans in auy state or territory in the country. The "repeater" is in the land, and the chances are that he'll be in jail if he attempts at-tempts to ply his trade on election. The Oirden hasn't had much to say about Ben Rich -since that gentleman gave its editor a plain talk some time ago. The tongue of our distinguished fellow-citizen, fellow-citizen, Orlando W. Powers, is still sweating. If you don't believe it look at the first page of tonight's issue. The Cannon-Rawlins debate is the talk of the town in Ogden.

Dickson and the county candidates will discuss the political issues of the nation. At West Jordan, George M. Cannon and George W. Moyer. r Frank J. Cannon will speak at Bingham Saturday night, November's. THE "HERALD'S" FALSE REASONING- Editor Times: A writer in the Herald gives some amazing figures for Utah in regard re-gard to its wealth per capita for the decades ending 18o0-'60-'70-'S0, in order to make out a good case in favor of the '-free trade" policy pol-icy of the Democratic parly. These he prefaces pre-faces by statiug that Utah was protected prior to the building of the Union Pacific railroad, and has since had "free trade." The "protection" consisted in the high Ireight rates existing up to that time, the free trade in the lower rates conseuuent on that event. I was in Utah during 16tS-9, and well remember that Utah people at that time fully understood the value of "protection," "protec-tion," if we may judge by the prices they charged for supplies furnished to those en- gaged in bringing "free trade" to Utah building the Union Pacific railroad. For cottonwood, cut in cord-wood lengths, they charged the modest sum of til per cord; for dressed beef 11 to 13 cents pur pound, aud other Utah products at corresponding rates. Leaving out some statements for which the writer draws entirely on his imagination I will come to his figures. He says: "In ISoO the estimated value of the wealth of Utah to each inhabitant was f 273. By 1S00, under a system of thorough protection, it had increased to $275. I lind by reference to the American Almanac for 1887 the "estimated true vslue per capita" to be not $273, but $87 in 1850, while 1800 shows not $275 but $li9. For the same period the wealth of the country not "nearly doubled," but it much more than doubled, the increase being from $7,135,780.22 to $10,159,(516,068. The per capita valuation rose from $308 to $514. He says that New Mexico's Increase for the same period was $3'J5, whereas my authority au-thority shows New Mexico to have in"l850 only $Si, and 100 $223, $172 Itxs thau what he claims as an inrreaxe. Accidentally, perhaps, he states the valuation valua-tion for Utah in 1S70 correctly. This shows not a dcclirufot $50, but an increase of $47. For 1!80 the valuation is not $72, but $405. After "free trade" came he says: "My father, working at his bench, could eara enough in one hour to pay for more straw hats "than my sisters could braid in three days." What trade did his father work at or could his sisters braid at all? "The rush licbt and tallow candle yielded to lamps and chandelier, thus throwing out another great 'home industry,' while hats, ciothing, furniture and many other of the good things of earth poured in upon u. The protectionist f unkhcads raised an awful howl: 'Our commercial enemies are flooding us with cheap goods. " On the contrary, the protectionists were glitd that another home market was opened to them for their various products. Toward the close he finds it necessary to doctor hi figures in order to give them some semblance of truth ; in this process he finds it necessary to state what every taxpayer knows to be untrue: that is, that property was taxed nt its full value In 1870 and 1880. A cause that needs to be bolstered up by falsehood must indeed be a bad one. Eureka, Oct. 3L M. F. REPUBLICANISM FOR UTAH. Editor Times: The editor of the IlercM, as well as a good many other wooild-be Democratic Dem-ocratic statesmen, professes to be very much "humiliated and surprised" that Hon. Jos. F. ' Smith should seek to give to the people of Utah his ideas of civil government and hhould endeavor to awaken still more confidence confi-dence in the great principles of the Republican Republi-can party. In this connection, it is a little . odd to note that these isiui exemplary patriots are not at all crestfallen or surprisd ? when such men as Apostle Thatcher, B. H. |
