Show EXCEPi IN KEPUBLiCANISM There is i a class of men who cry aloud day and night in season and out on the streets and upon the housetops there is no hope for silver save in the the republican party To this crowd belongs the Patton ol Ogden who went blundering out from the democratic lines the other day and who ia now hoverina about between the lines of the populIsts and the republicans none apparently caring where he finally falle If reallythere is i no hope for silver save in its restoration by the republican party then indeed may we take a lone last farewell of the money of the ages and the money of the poor We do not seek the assassin when we desire reliaf Neither do we seek the republican republi-can party when we are in earnest to restore silver There is not an intelligent intelli-gent republican in Utah iIcluding the Tribune but knows to absolute certainty cer-tainty that the republican party as a national organization is the biiter hostile and bloodthirstv foe of silver aud all the industries which depend upon its restoration to its old time money functions Worse still they know to an absolute certainty that asa as-a national party the republicans will hold that policy while time lasts or while the republican party exists It is the lineal descendant of the several parties which apposed the democratic in the early years of the life of the nation When the democracy demo-cracy was arefully guarding the interests inter-ests of hard coin money in eyery one of its written platforms the republican republi-can party or rather its progen tors were battling for federal and state banks as against hard money It is thus the legitimate foe by blood of silver sil-ver It comes legitimately by its hostility hos-tility to silver In this way it worked until emboldened by partial success it at last reached up and in 1873 it finally delivered the final blow which laid the white metal prone in the dust as one of the mere commodities commodi-ties of commerce Tnis destroyed over one half oE the money of commerceand laiu + times > If we are fg njtn earnest T earn-est in the claim that we are seeking to find the cause of the present stagnation stagna-tion of business the present hard T timesweneed not look any fartherHere it is in the original act which decapitulat ed silver and surely no one will deny that the republican party did that Now then how an honest and wellin formed advocate of remonetization or one who is honsstly seeking for the causes of the hard times prevailing in order to apply a remedy can vote this year in Utah for the republican party candidates passes our ken completely Any political party seeking to find measures of reliet from the hard times occasioned by the republican act of de monetization must inevitably strike for free coniage It is true that the measnre of tariff reform we have secured se-cured will help some It is a step ahead and in the right direction but only complete restoration of silver will restore the good times of the past Nowhere Now-here we have two parties seeking this dissideratum in Utah The republican party the power which originally demonetized de-monetized silver and the democratic party which opposed with might and main the policy of demonetization and which is today by a vast majority still in favor of remonetization Which will the people of this silver state trust Which is the most reasonably apt to workout the relief desired We cannot help the conclusion that the claim put for the republican party is the aheerest nonsense ever sought to be crammed down the throats of the people |
