Show LIVING Uarren O O' SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. FRIDAY, MAY 6. 1898. VOL. 4. Successor to THE THE SILVER CAUSE. Hon. Ctus. A. Towne, chairman of the Silver Republican Committee, last evening on The the Theatre spoke at As an orator, Mr. Outlook for Silver. Towne is a success; as a reasoner on the money question he is able and understands the question thoroughly. He understands it so well that when he sees his logic leading him onto the inevitable breakers of paper money, he simply hushes and talks about some other phase of the question In order to make 40 cents in silver bullion worth 100 cents in coin, he admits the potency of the fiat of the government; but lest some inquiring, mind might ask why this fiat should not furnish the same other forty cents, he simply changes the subject. He showed plainly that his real object was to make facts fit the cause of silver rather than make the cause of silver fiL facts a thing that Judge Goodwin has been trying, but failing, to da for the last quarter of a century. He closed his speech with an appeal for a union of all the free silver forces, and pictured the fre silver Republican party as an angel of ;ieace, patriotism and justice, standing with arms outstretched, the one to the Democrats and the other to the Populists, and pleadingly begging for them to come over to the help of the Lord; to the help of the Lord against the mighty. He then gave his reasons why the union should be made under the free silver Republican banner, which reasons hold good as against the Democratic party, but not as against Populists or Socialists. The Democrats of Utah are simply following their leaders. Their leaders (that is, their be leaders) at this time happen, supposed-t- o for the first time on earth, to favor free silver. If their leaders were advocating anything else they would be yelling for that, as they used to do for Grover Cleveland. But the lree silver Republicans had the backbone out of their party and stand alone what they believe to be right. So, as between those two, the Republicans have decidedly the best of it. As compared with Democrats, free silver Republicans look fairly well; but their glory glimmers and d their lustre leaves them when they are with the faithful, conscientious Popu-list- s or Socialists who years ago, seeing the wrong of their party, not only had the backbone to leave it and condemn it, but invited the taunts and the jeers of the political world by organizing a party of their own He seemsyi&ave the idea that Populists are born tK y; that they are a different class of peflfoi altogether; forgetting, it seems, that they once belonged to the Republican and Democratic parties. The position Mr. Towne assumes woulc be funnjlere it not so ridiculous.
