Show REPUBLICAN IMMIGRATION Mr Bennett the wideawake general passenger ascent of the Rio Grande Western railroad is just returned from an extensive visit to Europe and is full of the idea that with a little intelligent in-telligent effort there are thousands and thousands of immigrants of the better class there who could be induced to immigrate to Utah and join in the This idea the Tribune ridicules unmercifully un-mercifully It would be willing to see men worth a million or more immigrate immi-grate to Utah but for poor people it would rather they would stay at home It has no use in the world for them This indicates the policy of the republican repub-lican party beautifully That party and all of its immediate projemtors have been uniformly opposed to foreign immigration ever since the knownoth I party went out and was succeeded by the republican party that party has stood at the portals and waved back the masses of the useful the virtuous and the skilled laborers of Europe The Tribune is not alone in this idea of exclusion ex-clusion It is the well known and accepted ac-cepted policy of the republican party notwithstanding the fact that the leading lead-ing idea in the first settlement of this country was that an asylum might be built up here for the oppressed of all nations all creeds and all classes of people Thin paper belongs to and is unquestionably unques-tionably the leading paper of the republican party In Utab Now the great majority oi the people of this territory are of foieign birth They were invited here by both the civil and the ecclesiastical government of the territory They as a rule were poor people and yet the Tribune now and then invites attention to their thrift and general prosperity If a few years residence in our beautiful and prosperous new state renders men prosperous and transforms the helpless poor immigrants into well fed well clothed and eelf sustaining citizens we cannot see just why we should cbau e our policy to the extent that a mail must have a million in his pocket or find our gates locked securely se-curely against him It is true the republican re-publican is the party of the rich It has from its birth so far as it could filched from the poor and give to the rich All the advantages of the government gov-ernment have been shared among the pets of the party while the poor have born its burdens patiently and meekly I The party of the trusts and monopolies sees the poor come here as it does the wolves and wild beasts The ponr re cieve little or no consideration at its hands You must have money and in million dollar lots if you are to re cieve a welcome from Utah republicans or republicans of any other state This is the one fixed principle of j that faith How does this strike the heroic old first settlers and their descendants There is hardly a family of these but have friends and relatives back in Europe whom they are inviting to come to Utah to share in their own good fortune The republican party would close the doors to them because be-cause forsooth they haye not tne necessary neces-sary millions to insure their welcome or even their toleration This principle princi-ple is no better understood now than it has ever been and yet how the sturdy farmers of Utah can vote for this hostile party we are at a loss to see I |
