| Show A journalistic the loan journal has been telling its readers that the free coinage ot allver at 16 to I 1 alone can bring prosperity mo the people in a very considerate editorial invited the journal to eive ita reason for believing beli evine such a possible the journal can not do at and hence it goes out of its way to misquote history in order to find an opportunity port unity to abuse THE first the journal says it did not support tree trade or gold let us bec eec the logan journal supported grover cleveland after be had written bit famous letter to ex con gressman warner stating that be waa opposed to the free coinage of silver the journal supported grover cleveland durine abo campaign when harri eon waa elecey which was after be wrote his letter in favor of free trade the journal baye it never advocated free trade yet when the writer made a protection speech in logan the journal used the beet part of its paper for several issues in an attempt to prove that protection was wrong and free trade right few clippings from tho journal would satisfy everybody on that point but it is only a waste ot paper tor everybody knows that the journal was a freo paper as its columns will prove it the journal bays that supported harridon Harr the gold bua that is equally untrue there never waa a gold bug benjamin whom THE supported for president banned binned the aber man law under which of silver or ita equivalent was placed in circulation while the journal sup ported cleveland the abold bugi who repealed this silver law which 1 bent allver up to the highest price known since it was de by the united stales the journal STANDARD supported frank J cannon who discovered that a protective tariff was a robbery that la untrue again STANDARD supported frank J cannon a supposed eup posed protectionist who basner cr discovered that a protective tariff is a robbery and ho cannot furnish the proof of hia discovery the journal baye TUB STANDARD was fighting that champion of silver the salt lake tribune wrong again TUB STANDARD never fought the tribune the record shows that the tribune and THE STANDARD have generally supported the same political party THE may have differed from the tribune in some things but never made a fight on that paper the journal says that we traveled with the hon isaac trumbo speaking during a certain campaign to which we plead guilty we were authorized by the republican party of the stale to do such speaking with what objection the journal has to that it failed to state the if it is a silver advocate why does it print a paragraph like this those editors who think the free coinage of silver is the only hope for prosperity had better sandy the silver question and then tell their readers how way and under what circumstances the american people will be benefited by the free and unlimited coinage of silver there you are A paper claims that silver alone can bring prosperity and when it ie asked to produce reasons why and how such a is possible pos aible it simply offers a sneer in reply either tell how the free coinage alone can bring prosperity to the american people or stop dooline the people I 1 the journal says it Is such a loyal champion of silver yet why does every other paper suspicion it why does every politician of every party distrust it we republish the above item very few papers dare publish the uncomplimentary remarks about themselves yet THE STANDARD does because this paper has made for itself a record that no person or paper can successfully assail without at least presenting the proof THE STANDARD is proud ot its record and standing in its own home and community and nothing that political tricksters trick or dishonest papers thai are party slaves siy can injure it we therefore cheerfully comply with the journal and answer all its questions in full why does every other newspaper suspicion THE STANDARD every other newspaper does not only the dishonest and corrupt newspapers do when THE STANDARD editor visited washington the dishonest newspaper editors at once concluded that only one thing could possibly sibly take a utah editor to washington and that was to cell out to mark hanna the salt lake tribune and herald made euch a statement and every little dishonest sheet published it there are a fet honest editors in utah who refused to believe such statements they said the fall campaign would prove the truth and that they would wait for proof before making such a charge STANDARD those editors who believe that other editors sell their paper policy only think so because they themselves would do it tor suspicion is always with the corrupt STANDARD being an absolutely independent paper politicians ciana naturally fear t A politician always wants a papers support and politicians never like an independent paper an independent paper may dee troya politicians dearest ambition and dream the politician usually is a trickster and often has a shady career back of him the independent paper lays such a record before the public that ia why the politician fears THE STANDARD it was samuel J tilden who said show me a paper the politicians fear and I 1 will show you a paper of influence and respectability ability those popgun pop gun who think every other paper in the state sells out because they do should come to ogden and learn the standing of THE STANDARD among the people in its own home then they can home and wonder why THE prospers and all other papers fail in oden it there are any questions we havo overlooked dear journal call our tion to them we shall be pleased to J answer them in full there is nothing about STANDARD or its policy that cannot bear the open inspection of daylight we bieh wieh all the other state papers could truthfully cay the came |
