Show LIMITS OF saya tho logan journal in its last issue the marked improvement in the aden Is a matter that sprightly organ was never so well edited as now its editorials are clear forcible and from a literary standpoint regular gems THE is by far the best republican sheet in utah it is mainly because of the radical and pronounced democracy of so able a standard bearer as the logan journal that we publish alie foregoing commendatory mend atory notice as an introduction to the thoughts that follow we are desirous as a republican paper to give the people of utah the benefit of the more advanced and more wholesome ideas of party discipline and party obligation we have more in common as people as citizens as human beings than wo have in mutual opposition as political parties most politicians are selfish they are very willing to harness the people to their car they are not slow to deepen and darken the loyalty of their friends until it becomes an ignoble political serfdom A great deal of bondage is engendered in the advocacy of freedom the so called heroes of liberty are oft times alie petty tyrants what an outrageous travesty of free government is the bossism of political organizations both parties have leading and influential men who know nothing better or higher than to make the party a machine the caucus is their god they can run eliat little growler to suit themselves and this ie done on the nickel in alie slot principle and when the ticket pops out they want every man to swear by it to live and die by it so far as he las any political identity the caucus lias its uses but it should be confined to its proper sphere national politics should cover only national issues and local questions should be determined by the interacting and reciprocal judgments of men locally affected and that independently of general politics there is no other way to make tia people free than to destroy machine in politics tina is due to the people whether they realize it or not it is only in tins way that politics can represent the breadth and freedom of alie sunlight only thus can the mountains and the valleys have a voice only thus will the counsels of man represent the diversity and simplicity of creative genius for otherwise our politics will smell of the clique the crowded city tha counting room and the gold bin whenever politics becomes mechanical it transforms itself into chain with which to tie the hands ot liberty in order to prevent let its action be free that is let it bo the embodiment of principle when men consent ta act arid let others do their thinking they make jumping jacks of themselves Part isian newspapers have a mission in common they separate on broad party issues but on common interests they stand shoulder to shoulder republicanism and democracy represent distinct types of thou elit but any man is narrow minded who cant eee that both principles plea are deeply rooted into our government as deeply as lincoln and jefferson are rooted into our hearts and into our nations life and history they are both foundation stones and it we should pull either ono out the mighty structure would fall wo believe as republicans in building up with the thought that lincoln and his school gave to the country others cleave to jefferson and tact stand with him in alie political temple there is a higher wisdom puta in the keystone and locks these two political developments together and frames them into a li armoni ous structure if we can but keep our national politics separate from our local interests we will have taken an important step in the direction of freeing alie people from the tendencies of national centralization to cruba out individual liberty and true local development JAKES G was variously

southern wing of the democratic party are determined to establish die doctrine of free trade in this land they will be assisted by their northern allies the is now on there Is a great body of visionary but educated men who are employed day by day in writing free trade essays and arguments in favor of that doctrine which find their way into ever this land the great body of our people have never experienced themselves the sufferings which always result when the protective principles are laid aside poisoned and excited by the wild statements of these writers and the demagogic appeals of democratic speakers the result will be that in the very near future these forces which are now working will be strong enough to defeat at the polls th party advocating the doctrine of protection it must inevitably follow that uncertainty and doubt wiil ensue the business men of the country fearing the destruction of the principle of protection will decline to in business consequently mills will shut down and the will be thrown out of employment the people will then see as they have never seen before that they cannot be prosperous and have work while this principle is threatened in the midst
