auspices ot alie young mens democratic club the eagle was not there in ili all his ills glory as us the post lias has it and tile place on th tit stage was therefore endur endurable able and anti a meeting of much more pleasant character to all 1 parties arties I 1 than the recent three hours rally was ta the i e result promptly at 8 sir It roberta I 1 alto he was gre greeted with cheers took the stand and spoke for two hours lie commenced by taking for his text ike third paragraph of the national democratic platform which declared cd belief in tariff far Tf revenue irenne only in ili a government administered ministered republicans believed in protection that word had a pleasing leasing found sound alie unfortunate for them ans w n that it was nothing bat sound tito goods imported ini artey here notwithstanding the ill high i tariff is is net imported i I 1 by foreigners but by americans the duties bring to the national treasury the j money for the governments expenses j revenue duties give but incidental pro tec tion but the high tariff is for the purpose sethelle alie republican party says of protecting american industries am among na tile defects of this system is the fact eliat alie great burden tolls falls upon the poor man mail with a large family instead of upon the rich arlic democratic standpoint is that taxes shall bo levied uny only for public purpose lose to raise raise the expenses of the government consequently their position is that we shall duties on imports imports orts not hawing having in ill view Iro protection tx imy 0 of tile manufacturers but fo for r rev the virtue of title this principle is that tile heaviest burden is thus placed tn tin shoulders best able to carr carry yit it and thus wealth is taxed and not poverty wo we s bay take off alie icax tit on raw materials n ell enter into tile manufactured of articles used by the masses place taxation taxi upon pon imported luxuries especially i those considered

the virtue of revenue a taxation this also given incidental ci protection and no other which should bo be the caso in every instance prom from this you oil may eee see that the two parties differ as is proper sphere of government and its fundamental principles since the use the I 1 power of government for other than I 1 public purposes it follows that they believe there is a paternal power 13 ID the government govern meat in other words that tile power of the government may be used to foster private industries and private private gain and create private affairs it t means paternalism and

in industries in s tries our republican giva friends seem astounded at this announcement it matters not whether wo have been silent in the past on oil this proposition we raise the issue now and say Is it constitutional or not no matter who ito taught the principle in the past should it prove wrong it should lie ile put under the foot of alie to people unless the power is not delegated in lit the constitution it doom not exist if it do not exist how bow then does protection exist through the abuse of the power the constitution gives the power to government to levy jm hn porth and ce what for

proposition r 0 I 1 yes 0 s il but it democracy is 1 fortunate atu W in iii I 1 having vina tho the supreme T court art of the tile united slates states with sul t them em the speaker then quoted tile

statement ho he will not vote the tile democratic tic ticket k t ha he is still a I 1 republican publican te what industry ia is established that is is not an advantage to a community ho lie eaid said and arid then added a few morg more worda words from justice 31 millers illers decision we meet another proposition from our friends by which they hope to walk around these propositions namely by their aaning that protection ia is not a tax and tl therefore le millare Mill cre and cooleys colleys Coo leys words are not applicable the tile speaker then pro proceeded weded to show that the consumer paid the tax whether it waa was a it protective r tive tariff or only a revenue til tariff riff p for or instances he lie brought up the tile fearful tax on pearl buttons A merchant lie said buys of goods and anti pays in m duties how liow must lie meet duty luty ho must fix price high enough to pay liis his original investment commission and the duty paid this ia is self evident and its useless to argue arguo it further brother It roberts did not say ay what the price to the consumer would bo be did that merchant buy bay liia his goods in american markets some of which arc are 6 eold old tor for a less price than the dut duty T he ile quoted mckiniry s words on s sugar agar to the effect that the importation was so great that the home production does joe es not materially affect the tile price IV eliy ily he lie I 1 I 1 I 1 1 said if tile tariff on oil sugar was vas paid by I 1 the to c consumer on sumer docs does not tit the principle work on oil naolen goods an and d gl glassware jass and other articles that we biml import rt it ia against such policy that tho tile democratic party is fighting mckinley says tho the tariff is a tax and it ia is as clear as da day that it is a tax fortunately r tuna tely wo we have had a revenue tariff period our friends call it free trade also it protection period we can go t to the history of each period and see which oh lias been alio most A beneficial the tree free trade period was from 1846 to 1861 and the protection period from 1861 to 1892 1 shall venture it i few statements to prove that tile former period was the most prosperous ill take ten years in in cadi each period our exports in 1850 amounted to in fit 1860 OW now let us take ten years of protection in 1881 our exports were in 1891 it was a loae loss of 4 per

industries all my mv heart and even believe that wo at times can afford to pay a n it higher price for home made articles than buy those imported democrats believe in supporting home industries I 1 am a little suspicious auspicious that our friend the enemy is ili a little more frank in name than in nature there has been issued of late a picture book expected to do marvelous service in this campaign mainly because it places the republican nominees picture in a gallery that makes him bo be in good company the tile pictures of df joseph smith brigham young jolin john taylor joseph F smith wilford woodruff are there and can call you blame frank for lo putting utting liis his picture there I 1 am sorry that the names and faces of these men should be made to farve the infamy of republican principles i n Ilie I 1 reby challenge ballenge tk ako tko e republican nominee and his party to point to a it single enactment of the legislatures of utah in the past kast stoop ir BO so low as n to

the one on jal hi silks silks a and id satins gatins when thedarl the dark picture presents itself lie said where people hold half of the wealth of of people it I 1 is s time that so some me steps were taken for reconstruction I 1 have not riot troubled you with weary details of wire nails and glass and pearl a r I 1 li buttons and I 1 said much about ut sheep but there is something however on that feib act when we are na national donai issacs issues shall we quote local ocal affairs such us as wool and lead load shall hall vie ue because the government thrusts upon us a paltry six sixpence support that government that it irmay may rob us of pounds what kind dof of state statesmanship ma 18 hill is is that in discussing national issues we must look over the tile whole country this however ig is but talking on a supposed case now let ua us look at wool it is said we must protect wool in order that wo may draw increased prices by tile way the postles apostles apost lea of protection have scour scoured the country and ever every man mail who lias has a pet lamb lias has been counted a wool pr producer sons eo as to make alic number in 1867 the tile number of elieen were OW in 1892 the number were in 1867 tile sheep were unprotected you can call see what a small in twenty four years of protection lias has wrought now let me point to tile poor 1 unprotected american hog the tile anum number 1 er of swine in ili 1887 1867 was ain in 1892 it numbered tito poor unprotected hog his looks and habits against liim him lias has done better than marys ia little lamb so with the am mild ild eyed 3 unprotected ox in lit 1867 th boy numbered and in 1892 1 so with the horse borse in 1859 they numbered in 1892 1802 I 1 yet they were unprotected tile unprotected mule in ill 1867 numbered numb eted in 1892 tile unprotected beld mule has outstripped the protected slice sheep this whole whole tariff discussion reminds me of a race track the speaker s pe ill e r then pictured a noble steed and arid mule As they arc brought out sonic one shouts ita its going to bo be an all uneven race that mule will outstrip the horse if you dont put on extra weights that was gov mckinley you must cross that mule or lie will beat the horse shouts another frank cannon the explanation of that allegory is tins OAS we are in the race of progress the fine steed is tile american people other nations with less advantages energy enemy and genius less everything a in I 1 the rie raica us in this proposed race our protective friends are afraid that that cli chuckle tickle headed mule will ont outstrip strip us the effect of tariff on value of sheep ellowis the following rest result lit in 1867 7 the they were worth in 1892 tI under protection detection the price has it as

price of woo wool ca between 1847 47 and 1867 was 48 cents per pound between 1867 and 1888 it was 42 cents per pound we do not ftc produce lo 10 the amount of wool necessary lor our r consumption blence wo we can cant t get the naces necessary ary woolen woolen goods without in importing porting yankee I 1 ingenuity 11 has as partially bial shady supplied the want aa rit by sh shoddy 0 addy shoddy competition is more in injurious jurius than woollen competition from borci foreign countries 1 shoddy docs does not supply the lounda pounds of difference between m tween production and consumption however production Ero hence ence we must yc act import a areat deal deal of wool in a manufactured state on oil which wo we pay tariff the tito tariff on wool means that if you you rob the tile people to protect I 1 lie wool grower you must rob them to protect the manufacturer it may bo be harsh to ca call 11 it robbery but it is mighty near that now what can utah do silo is not a at state we cant elect grover cleveland nor help in tho the election but we can at least send a grand message 0 across the mountains and say god od 7 0 u 11 and that utah is for democrat democracy
