For POINTS.1 The Salt Lake Tribune says that it "could .I ? see no point in any Republican who had left his party on account of the silver question staying out of it when that question was setAnd it asks if the editor of the State tled.

So far the answer has been applicable to any former silver Republican in the United States. But inasmuch as the Tribunes question may have a local direction, there is this additional answer: Certainly.- Smootism. Like Rooseveltism, with which it is so closely allied, Smootism is the substitution of self for community welfare. It sets up per sonal aspiration as the chief object for human achievement. As Rooseveltism has involved the nation in difficult questions abroad, so Smootism has involved the people of Utah in troublous circumstances at home. This state was gaining in commercial pow er, it was attracting to its fair fields, its wondrous hills, its growing cities, sterling elements of American brawn and brain with a steady stream of capital to help the state to its mighty destiny; when the ambitions of one man, already freighted with magnificent opportunities and holy duties, was interposed and the good promise of peace and prosperity was shattered. Not even the Tribune will deny that Smootism has retarded indefinitely the progress of Utah. It is so closely akin in character to Rooseveltism that no wonder the two are in close concord. As Mr. Roosevelt aspires to be a writer, a warrior, a preacher, a diplomat, a political leader; so Mr. Smoot aspired to be all things. And the overweening ambitions in both cases represent dangers to the nation and the state. There is ample "point in Utah why former silver Republicans should be allied with the Democratic party. The foregoing answer is of itself sufficient. But other "points are not wanting. Those members of the United States senate who first organized the silver Republican movement, made their secession from the four Republican party in Washington months previous to the St. Louis convention of 18; and made their secession, not upon the silver question but upon the tariff question. Their action was not because of disbe-beliin protection when equitably applied; but because of the perfectly manifest intention of the Republican party to make a bill such as Democrats had always denounced as the Republican idea and such as Republicans had always denied a tariff which would favor certain powerful industries and ignore the weak ones; a tariff bill which would lay a burden We recognize that the Tribune is quite sinupon the farmer affording to him no adequate cere in its advocacy of the Republican cause; ef 't STATE FRIDAY, JULY recompense; a tariff composed of schedules prepared by the trusts and under which the domestic manufacturers could and would sell their goods abroad at less prices than they charged at home. The original Dingley bill of February, 18, demonstrated this intention by the Republican party, although the bill did not become a law; and the second Dingley bill, which was enacted into law in 1897, fulfilled the intention. of this Following the determination of came recession of the "point separation, the Republican party from its old principles of bimetallism; and this was the acute matter upon which the silver Republicans split from the party at the convention in St. Louis. Following this, in turn, was the colonial and imperialistic policy of the Republican party so antagonistic to all the ideals which had been held through more than a century of this country's life, so dangerous to the future of the republic as that men already separated from the party found ample "point to justify their remaining in antagonism to it. And, still, following this, came the accidental appearance of Rooseveltism as the dominating force in the Republican party. Mr. Roosevelt is a party and law unto himself. He has subverted the plain statutes of this country by executive order. He has sought to make the army a creature of his will by the elevation of his personal favorites to positions of power; and while his friends may claim that he does not iucline toward military dictatorship in this country, this is exactly the step that he would take if he did thus incline and Americans should be forever on their guard against the danger. He has abandoned the great ideals of the fathers under which human liberty was a sacred thing and under which peace with all mankind was one of our most desired possessions; and in his insensate zeal to appear as a military figure he has interfered in the affairs of other peoples and has shadowed this land with a cloud of war menace. To deny that the Rooseveltian ideal is "I, the State, is to deny the fact which is palpable to every observant person who comes in contact with this accident of the presidency or who relds of his words and doings. The Republican party of 18 started away from its party creed and the magnificent exIt has not amples of the old party leaders. returned ; but on the contrary it has proceeded further and further away from the old safeguards, the old purposes, the old affections for the people's need and the old splendid leadership. To see the party of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and even the party of McKinley and Hanna, now dominated by Theodore Roosevelt is to see ample "point to justify former silver Republicans in adheringto their present Democratic affiliation, refusing to go back to the party whose error of 18 has been multiplied and whose dangerous and we can equally recognize that former silver Republicans in this state are determinedly sincere in their association with the Democratic party, which opposes alike the Rooseveltism that menaces the welfare of the United States and the Smootism which menaces the well being of the state of Utah. .Knowing the temper and disposition of those former silver Republicans, we shall be greatly mistaken if thousands of them do not rally to the Democratic standard this year in this state.

He is a Tammany man; and his organization would have been glad to see him nominated for the presidency. Failing that, Chief Murphy and others proposed to get the politics of the Democratic party in New York in such condition as that Parkers friends would be glad to support McClellan for the gubernatorial nomination in order to solidify the party. The plan seems to have worked. Parker can carry New York with an united Democracy. McClellan can carry the state for the governorship with an united Democracy. What a clever political idea it is! Parker electors at the head of the ticket to insure all the vote, and George B. McClellan for governor to insure all the Tammany vote. There may be other combinations that would be equally effective; but it is unnecessary to look further, as this would absolutely assure victory. up-sta- te - A correspondent complains because the first excursion over the Lucin cut-of- f was for Salt Lake people.
