Show JUDGE KINGS KING'S SPEECH 5 S The Democrats had a jolly convention in Provo and azid Judge King made a splendid parti partisan n speech Th There re was a good deal of in it but all that is excusable Sometimes mes at the foot foot of a hill as as a man turns around and looks over the trail lown which he has come he forgets the rocks that were h-were in the the way th thorns and the slippery places pl ces and lie te ic says the landscape lands is beautiful And so so itis iLis natural natura for a orn D Democrat looking back t through the vista of th the years to honestly believe 0 that the Democracy d during ring ring- it its first sixty years was th the splendor of the earth carth It is natural too to the lOst cost of the government was so much p per rc capita pita in those days and what it is now and it it is is' convenient to ignore the fact that at that S time a a lawyer almost as great as Judge King would have done for 20 what Judge King would S ri riot t have any hesitancy cy in in charging for now The money m ney did not happ n to be in the country In those hose clays ays in N New v e York City a person could S get a room room in the finest hotel a bath and

jAnd S M jS speaking king of that reminds l us S that one of S f he factors r which elected Mr 1 Cleveland Clevela d was was' the l tariff on tin in plate Every housewife in the thet he t country w was s to be robbed robbe b because cause of the shameful shame- shame ful tariff on tin plate plat But the country because of S that tariff for three or oi four years has saved eighteen millions of dollars a year since that j ot otherwise rise cr would have gone to England and tin tinS tinplate tinplate S plate is jot ot any nore c costly than it was before the t t tariff was put 01 on We We mention that simply to show that theIa the i Ia g in J his is speech did not discriminate he sim- sim sim-I sim t ly 4 hurled denu denunciations at the tariff and forgot I that that is on one of the l reasons why the Democracy Democracy racy racy ricy w was s hurled from power fourteen years ago aril arid iid has never appeared since in a national sense Of course the burden of the judges judge's speech was against the trusts Ve We have some great trusts in inS S th the United States but have they plenty of them Mn 1 England Engl ci where there is free trade in fact 7 j they had their birth there This same cry Down with the e trusts trusts was raised eighteen years ago by br the Democrats in their camp campaign ign They were given full swing president and both houses of congress and if th they y smashed any trust we weare are not vare It aware of it Rather we saw the great money tu tru trust r t which is behind all the other trusts j S dominated the Democratic president and bot h S 'S o S O S- S ss and so compelled S them to vote f- f x T against 0 their 1 lest est convictions in a way that has br brought i infinite fin finite te sorrow to the people of the United States States- A Ani J hile hile the pl platform adopted at Provo erce in its denunciation of anything like o l labor bor in this country coming in competition with ith white labor the truth is that if jf a Chinaman comes here and works he has to live here But ButS S the judge h had d not a word to sa say about bout the the comi com com- i r of Chinese in in their own c country where they cY live on rt a. a t little rice and where the nuin nin man who employs them is able to sell to the United States U the j pr product b of their ei labo labor GO 60 per per cent che cheaper per pert t than an h hs could ev
