as well as the commune we believe the restoration of the money of the constitution is now the paramount issue before the country and insist that both parties shall plainly their reaper ive positions upon the question in order thac the voters may in inelli elli gently express their preference we therefore declare ourselves in favor of ibe immediate resto restoration radou of the free and unlimited

full and legal tender tor for all debts public and priva e we denounce the republican party for the of silver in 1873 and for us Ls repeated acts of hostility toward its we call attention to the fact that the country was in the throes ot of a financial panic when the democrat in ic administration assumed control in 1893 and cecon the people upon the approaching reign of prosperity as a result of a democratic reform of the tariff and also to tue fact that factories foundries and mill have resumed work since the repeal of the mckinley lawand to the constantly advancing wages of workingmen in almost every industry we again express our heart hearty appreciation of the democratic congress and president in providing an enabling act by virtue ot of which utah is about to assume i s position as a sovereign state we vve commend the action of the democratic cra t ic members rs of the constitutional convention in surrounding the taxing and revenue raising power of the state by such restrictions and limitations as to preclude any squandering of public property in aid of private enterprises and to confine the expenses of carr carrying ving on public business within proper limits of economy despite the almost unanimous opposition of a republican majority and we favor the adap ion of the proposed constitution we e the women of utah upon their admission to equal political oal rights with men under the provisions of r the constitution propose dand the democratic party for the earnest and able sup up port of that measure by it its representatives in the constitutional convention we denounce as aa false the charge that the democratic party of utah haw ban been guilty of stuffing ballot boxes or 0 her election frauds and condemn the re publican party for its unwarranted and
