Show THE HOKR-H.AUVEY DEBATE. - The above Bet-to now on in Chicago is being closely watched by all classes of people all over the United States. At first we felt a little nervous for Coin in couteEt with one of the giants of the gold standard. We do not feel bo now, because in every instance where bed-rock principles have been so far touched, Harvey has had the best of the set-to. Eyidently Mr. Horr, as well as the people he represents, has made a great mistake in supposing that Harvey is a boy in finance as is the litttle schoolmaster in Coin. Up to date he has had surely the advantage advant-age of his opponent and we do not doubt but he will retain it to the close of the debate. It must be Eaid, how ever, that he has the beet side of the controversy to begin with and the active ac-tive sympathy of the vast majority of the people of the country. This ought to give him confidence, lie ought to put up the best fight, lie is making it in the cause of the poor. He is fighting for the money as well as the living chance of the poor. To fail under un-der the circumstances would constitute consti-tute a crime of the first magnitude. The silver producing states of the weBt watch this contest with absorbed ab-sorbed interest. The people watch the daily reportB of it and snatch the papers with eagerness. The people are so far satisfied with their I champion, while the bankers in Eng land and here, especially in New York, are growing nervous as to Horr's ability abil-ity to wring success Ironi the hard conditions con-ditions surrounding him. Harvey is very ready and seems to have his facts as well as his theories well in hand, and ready for use at any moment. Mr. Horr does not like it becaase'Coin denominated John Sherman'B act of 73 demonetizing silver, a crime, "The crime of '73." In view of the ever advancing ad-vancing power of monev in determining determin-ing the policies of government and fn swaying the opinions of men,it becomes a crime to add to the power of money as it also does to weaken the resist ance of the people. This is a government govern-ment of the people, bankers have usurped the pow er and are now in control. con-trol. This power must be wrested from them at every hazard, and it car only be done by eliminating ttie piytfy crats from the public service, by restoring re-storing the people to power and in wresting the government from the reckless hands of the speculators. The vast fortunes made by the speculators spec-ulators in the blood and the tears of the late war and the favoritism practiced prac-ticed by the republican administrations since its close, has produced a class of monied aristocrats, or rather plutocrats, pluto-crats, and those now give the law aiike u the people and the government. They are true to their class. All the advantages of government are thrown in the direction of the bankers and the rich generally. Tuese had no difficulty whatever in successfully meeting the raid of congress on the millionaires in the income tax law. They just went at the supreme court, and behold their iShiras turned up at the exact moment of time when he was needed to turn the tide in favor of the rich. Thus it is that monev beats majority so easily. Since demonetization the rich have had all the chance, the poor none. Silver Sil-ver is the meney of the poor while gold is the money of the rich and the powerful. Harvey is contending for the restoration of the money of the poor; Horr is battling in fayor of gold, i the money of llothschildj and the less er bankers. Of course in such a contest con-test there can be no sort of doubt where tne sympathies of the masses are placed, or where the righteous are. The cause of the poor is the cause of God. It is no wonder that this contest con-test has begotten a vast interest here in the eet where all are poor, because of demonetization, and where thousands thou-sands ot pious men and women are loyally praying for the success of our champion. One of the (Standard's subscribers up ;in Idaho takes up the paper's defense de-fense against the Tribune in a very complimentary way and Bill proceeds to comment on the letter in a way that must make the whole thing just a little exasperating to the Tribune. The beauty of the whole thing is that last fall this same subscriber was in Ogden and worked hard to do up the Standard. Stand-ard. .Now, Bill, if you can always thus conyert your enemies into friends and set them to working for you, not all the devils in or out of pandemonium can prevail against you. Go ahead old fellow, your friends are all pulling for you. Independent political thinking is done in the democratic party and if that makes a democrat of the editor of the Tribune all right. True indepersd-ence indepersd-ence is only found in democracy, but when the party authorities speak out O the law all good democrats acquiesce v and vote the ticket unscratcLed and clean. Democratic individuals hare ; their say inside of party lines, but democratic conventions give the law to democrats, The Utah coun'y republicans set great store on the ladies' organization's organiza-tion's conclusion to act with the regular regu-lar republican organization in this campaign.

It is gone, gone glimmering in both Utah county aad in Utah territory. The Logan Journal is quite severe upon the Tribune and doubts its utility util-ity as a republican paper. The Tribunals Trib-unals by far better than its party, and in its efforts to raise the party to its own plane it 6hould havj the help and encouragement of all good democratic journals.THE Dispatch stands squarely by the Salt Lake paper in this effort. The Black Flags rather piled it onto the Japs on the Island of Formosa. For-mosa. The Japs, must be careful not to fall into the error that because they whipped the Chine?e rather neatly, they can whip eterybody." Such a mistake as that would prove both costly and bloody. Of course Mr. Horr dissents from Harvey's denominating demonetization demonetiza-tion "the crime of 1S73." These cold buggp.ra very delicate and can stand but Uttlfif KJi when it is againBt them. B Jjlarvey had the thing down fine and the thing stand3,by and with the consent of the people. . The idea of separate action on the Bilver queetion next fall in our elections, elec-tions, does not seem to be popular to any great extent among outside democrats. demo-crats. We regard the democratic party as the most reliable silver party on earth. The Ephraim Enterprise nominates Hon, B. H. Roberts for governor. Now this is a nomination which we can and do most warmly second; if we can swing it, the state would bail it ub among the strongest that could be made. The Salt Lake Star says woman's intuition impels her to cling to the clean candidate. That simply wipes out all chance for women supporting the republican ticket. The new declaration of independence independ-ence spoken of by Judge Powers in his Ogden speech, just fits the shoulders of the average Utah citizen like a gun-stock. gun-stock. The coal developments in this vicinity vicin-ity promise to become very valuable in the near future. It will constitute a boom for this city. Imoweeeme as if there will be serious seri-ous trouble with the Indians at Jackson's Jack-son's Hole.
