Show THE PROVO ENQUIRER ON SILVER still the standard Is now accepting our position as opposed to independent free coinage of silver it was only a few months ago that we had an argument with that paper on the silver question and we then held that independent free coinage would result in lust buch a currency as mexico had tor this country could not maintain the parity of gold and silver against tho rest of the world the standard now aya the earne thing so the standard 13 following in the balce of the enquirer on that as we know of the silver question according to the standards opinion of us provo enquirer the provo enquirer Is way off the standard does not stand with the on the silver question by any means first the enquirer la opposed to the 1 r 5 ft independent tree coinage ot silver while the standard favors it Is that what the enquirer calls the same thing true the standard doubts very much the ability of the united states to maintain alone the parity of sliver and gold at 16 to 1 but ing that tact we favor it just the same tho enquirer however Is opposed to the independent free coinage of silver under all circumstances some months ago we may say a year or two ago the standard said the united states could maintain the parity of silver and gold at 16 to 1 tho standard however has changed its opinion since then and justly so when bryan ran for president two ot the leading nations of the world were on a silver basis since then both have adopted the gold standard and have repudiated the silver standard russia with and japan with people with the united states and mexico could in our opinion in 1896 with the conditions then prevailing have maintained the parity of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 but the conditions have changed russia and japan both have left the silver basis and we tear the united states alone could not rule the world on the money question notwithstanding that tact we anre willing tor the united states to try it we believe that the silver interest ot utah Is entitled to the full and aided vided support ot every citizen in the state the tree coinage ot silver will mean much tor utah and we dont think much ot a utah citizen who will not take the free coinage ot silver in any way shape or form he can get it again the standard has always favored the independent free coinage ot silver but the provo enquirer supported the st louis platform in 1896 but in 1898 it supported the standards platform ot independent tree coinage now it there Is any changing of opinion on that matter it seems to us the enquirer did the changing the bryan republicans have not changed their views on silver but the in utah have at any rate they accepted and endorsed the independent tree coinage of silver which was all the bryan republicans claimed while tho republicans opposed that |
