| Show HANSEN HAMMERED to THE EDI A certain john M haneon living at fillmore has ha teen fit to withdraw his most august presence from the he ranks of the democracy and feeling that he owes not only to himself but to the public bubli c in an expression of tile reasons that I 1 compelled him to the act lie sent a letter to tile the chairman of the millard county committee this letter a jumble of gen general eral and unmeaning statements was published in the ogden standard and salt lake vines times under display heads arid and double leaded introductions introduction duct ions it be foolish for rue me to take up his letter line for line and disprove his assertions as with a seemingly quickly acquired republican style of argument lie lic has proven nothing arid and has claimed everything in light and a little more to reply in full would open up the hc whole held field of tariff discussion cassion cus sion sion arid and I 1 will only reply to his statements with wilh other general statements lie ile says lie was led to believe that tile the democratic party was to bu the successor of the ilic peoples party had alad lie read the democratic campaign documents band and listened to the campaign speeches arid and had lie known adv anything of democratic principles lie he would have known that thi the party of tile jefferson intended to be a successor to the peoples party part only so far as the principles of eliat party agreed etli the pr principles of jefferson jan erson and odthe of alie national democracy lie says lie thought the democratic party was the party to which a poor man could always tic for political ru redress dress and has not shown us whether lie has chan changed ed his mind or not if lie he lias has chan changed mcd his mind on oil this point it would be well for him to state his reasons if he be has any lie ile bays 1 I was lej led to believe that the democratic party part was the party ot of progress tato atie oi of loyalty the party of economy the patty pal ty that would protect the american farmer the american artiman art artiz izan in the american laborer and the american home against the pauper labor of england and combination E europe drope this is a very pretty prett y piece of rhetoric ibe anil and shows that mr ilan han bon did once have a glimmering of the light of real democratic truth but his next sentence shows how low the downfall of this youth was ac campli hed and how lie he was led astray from the true paths just as lie was beginning to see 0 7 the ilic first glimmerings glimme lommerin lim merin rings s of the light of the dem democratic 0 cratic d day av and while the ole darkness still sur surrounded rounded him ike lie raw a small light near at liand hind following this small false light onward through wire arid and baush lie he was war finally brought to the bosky deptris of a treacherous morass and before he was aware was made into a denizen of the woods arid and we are arc told in an irish tale that when a man mail is transformed after following one of tile the fal false e lights light that hit flit about to lure nien men to destruction that man mail in ill his new character r is blinded to the delights 0 of the outside world and ever yer after peacefully roots in tile the depths of the da dark rl k forest even fearing the light C we lve this poor deluded young man As to the correspondents assertions in regard to free wool arid and free lead I 1 will only say that if lie he will look into history lie will find the tariff on wool arid and lead lias has reduced the price of each of these commodities our wool now sells for the game price or less than the price of the same grade rade of wool jn in eril england land I 1 in n 25 years cars of protection when the tariff lias has been from 40 to GO 60 acts on oil wool from to 1890 the price paid fur for australian wool of the same panic grade averaged but 44 of a cent lint but in the years 1891 and 1892 wild speculation raised rais cd tho the price of wool more than it should be counted leave out tile these be two years when prices were unduly inflated arid and we vre have an average of 26 of a cent paid for australian wool more inore than for american wool of the same panic grade neither the wool nor the lead 1 industry I will lie be killed by free trade mr Ila ivansen makes a statement that wages would be reduced one half balf under free trade but lie he forgets that our highest paid laborers are those eliom protection does docs not interfere with anti and our loween paid men are those whom protection is supposed to 1 benefit our ur pauper labor is ia all in the protected act urics ile he says protection lias has made us the richest most prosperous and most inot powerful nation on earth we ave have grown in spite of protection for wo we have enough natural advantages to even bear this great bur burden denand and yet prosper let tin this s talented gentleman look at a comparison between IKO arid and 1860 a comparative free I 1 fcc trade era ind and the protection era extending from 1860 to the day clay and an t vouch he can never iwer thereafter speak against free trade and believe lam self the gentleman waves the alie floody floody shirt and shouts Ireae broa sou ou at the democratic side but he be has surely lived in utah long enough tro know that this people does not beneve in dead issues issi ios when the gentleman speaks of the present congress hein ext extravagant 11 anti lie ho must remember that the republicans faste nied things on the country which cark can only be chan changed t when obtain the control of the 3 branched branch eq of the legislative 11 department io in the fall then there will be economy for the annual made by the republicans will cease until the democrats control contro all three branches which control will commence on the ath of march 1893 tile the k gentleman can c in not arraign that party for extravagance ance reciprocity is a 11 diluted dose of free trade rut but it was another I 1 piece acce of legisla legislation tio n for the manufacturers and a against ainest the farmers tire alie gent lemans admiration for this doctrine which to give him the benefit of the doubt I 1 think is fur the free trade part of it and liis his clotill closing sentences lead me to believe li eve that that even the glorious principles of the republican party have not yet dwarfed hini him for his closing u words are as good us as we could expect from a democrat and we aria are surprised ased that mr clansen could write such words and yet espouse the principles of the g 0 p the alie closing words of the gentleman are but sir aliese are duly a few of tile lie causes that corn pel me to draw from your par baity ty I 1 love my iny
