Show CHARLES CRAKES CLARION CALL the threatened democratic legislation CAUSE OF FINANCIAL depression an appeal to utah citizens to redeem the territory from democratic misrule facts and fleuren Fl eures THE 8 1 chairman of the republican territorial committee deairas to bring to the notice of every citizen who is identified with prosperity and material development regardless of past political affiliations the causo of the present financial and industrial depression in utah during the last campaign in this territory democratic orators never lost an opportunity of impressing upon the people the glorious times in store for us when democracy should be triumphant and control every branch of the nati onci government woolen milla would be built up in every county to manufacture into cloth blankets and yarns the pounds of wool wo now ship to the east to purchase back in part at per cent increase sugar factories would be erected in various parts of our territory and alius save to our people tens of thousands of dollars which are now sent abroad for eliat most necessary article wool would be placed upon alic free list and thereby create a demand at a much greater advance in price to the utah wool growers miners wages would be increased in every camp in utah all products of the soil conid be higher and every article wo had to purchase would be cheaper manufacturers would prosper factories would bo built up and industries dus tries thrive had heretofore been burdened by protection fellow citizens how have these prom bes been realized to the people in utah since the 0 democratic party wages have been lowered in every mining camp in every mine in every mill in every smelter in butali strikes have been inaugurated a thing unheard of before wool has decreased in price 4 to 6 cents per pound entailing a loss on the wool growers of over sheep have decreased in value 1 per head another loss to our people of over and this without a single individual in utah being one cent this widespread wide spread disaster is being felt in every branch of industry not only in butali but all over alio union the failures of inks aggregating millions of dollars the enormous shrinkage in value of real estate and industrial enterprises the strikes lockouts and social discontent in every state in the union all portent the approach of commercial panic and convulsion should the threatened repeal of the purchasing clause of alio sharman act at the demand of the president be carried into effect it will close 75 per cent of alie mines tn utah and should the tariff of SO per ton which now protects our utah lead miners be also repealed as promised by the democratic party detill creater and more widespread disaster will bo inflicted upon us will the patriotic sturdy people of utah who desire the prosperity of our magnificent territory and ita material development and who are identified with its political future help to uphold the hands of any party that would alius bring financial destruction upon us the last campaign was fought on alie tariff issue alone protection is a fraud and robbery the mckinley bill is the culminating atrocity of class legislation yet the democratic party which has nok been power over one hundred days has made no effort to remove that monstrous iniquitous measure from off the heads of alio trusting american people and a few days since the president aard the only menace to the prosperity is a financial policy which obliges us to purchase idle silver bullion with gold taken from our reserve it fellow citizens protection is a fraud and robbery why docs brauc party continue that robbery why permit that culminating atrocity alio mckinley bill to remain upon our statute books was it not clearly the duty of the president to call congress together and sweep forever from alie statute books every vestige of protection and place us upon alie broad and open highway of free trade with all mankind and fulfill some of alie promises mado to tho people who placed U in power last november if the democratic party docs not keep these promises then the democratic campaign of last year was a gigantic lie alio people of utah cannot bo blind to these matters and the causes of this dark cloud of adversity liangqing lia nging over us alie democratic party now promise ua freo raw material which would make ua in utah hewers of wood and drawers of water for we are preeminently of raw ferial in worth of raw material and manufactured less than worth I 1 do not believe alie patriotic people of utah desire to place our wool growers in competition with the south american who receives the earn of 6 per month nor our mancra with those of mexico alio receive tho sum of 50 cents per day nor do I 1 believe any of the people of utah are so tied to any political party that they are willing to place themselves and families on a level with the pauper labor of other lands ano dark clouds of adversity which now threaten the welfare and prosperity is not alio idle dilver bullion but the threatened democratic against the american people and their prosperity if alien follow citizens this is the result of legislation what think you will bo the result of the realization iza tion already alio timidity of capital is painfully apparent and none of can fail to see that fear and apprehension i in anticipated democratic legislation legi will ultimately bring suffering to every humble home in our land the things just now needed are coolness and calmness and study and reflection amon gour people let prejudice be laid aside and let the electric light of reason and intelligence pervade every homo in utah and when next we meet this free trade democratic party in alio battle of ballots utah will redeem herself and be forever regenerated and from democratic misrule her will then advocate every measure for the uplifting and up building of industries and the protection of her people CHARLES CRANE chairman republican
