Letter from Colorado Ter.
Con. TER Anr;I 1s

VALMoNT, Col. TER, April, 1874.
In looking over your valuable paper !
find letters from all parts of the country ex-
cepting Colorado, and thought perhaps q
word from our country would be of inter-
est to your many readers.
The Spring has been rather backward,
but it has opened up at last. TheI majority
of the farmers are done sowing wheat. No
winter wheat is sown.
The first wave of the Temperance cru
sade has reached here, but after crossing
the uninhabited portion of the so-called
American Desert" the blow was scarcely
felt, and but little good has been done.
We would advise those who think of
making home in the West to visit Colora-
do and see for themselves. It needs no
praise-it speaks for itself.
Wheat is worth S1.5O per bushel;
corn 81 per cwt. There was mistaken idea
among the farmers that they could not raise
corn here. They are beginning to see
their folly now.
Potatoes are worth $12O per bushel.
Coal $3.50 per ton.
Small fruits do very well in this part of the
country. A few of the harder varieties of
apples can be raised, but they require so
much attention that few have attempted to
raise them.
As this Is my first attempt as a cores
pondent, 1 will "wind up" by promising to
write again if you publish this.

1t is surprising what difference there is
in mems views and ways of doing business.
Where one succeeds, another is unsuccess-
full. For instance, the other day, in look
ing over town for items, we dropped into
different business Houses, including the
New York Clothing House, ]. Lazarus,
Proprietor, in his new room, now one of tn ,
largest establishments of the kind in this
part of the State. You can find there one
of the largest and best stocks of Goods we
have ever seen in our town. Mr.. Lazarus,
in addition to his present business, has now
in his employ an experienced cutter from
the City, and will make to order all kinds of
Mems and Boys Clothing and guarantee a
fit. He has for sale some of the best
French and English manufactured Cloths
and Cassimeres, stylish patterns.
1t is truly astonishing how large trade
has been established by Mr. Lazarus in so
short time, and still greatly increasing.
Mr.. L. is live business man, and his store
is creditable to any town.
Givehim a call, he can supply your wants
at lowest possible rates. Remember the

TEMPERANCE,
Great Excitement In Cincin.
natl!

43 Women Of the Temperance
League Arrested by the Po.
lice.
Last Saturday, a band of 43 Tenn
perance women, headed by Mrs. Rev.
S. Z. Leavitt, were arrested by the
police of Cincinnati, while holding q
street prayer meeting before saloon
in the western part ofthe city. They
were taken to the Sd street station
house, where they remained short
time, when they were released, on
promising to appear for trial in the
Police Court on Monday morning
They appeared promptly at 9 o'clock
on Monday morning, but the exam
nation was postponed till Wednes-
day morning at the same hour.
Judge Hagans, Judge Stanley Matth-
ews and W. M. Ramsay, Esq, ap-
peared as counsel for the ladies.
Their arrest created great excitement,
and the action of the Mayor and Po-
lice was severely denounced in sever
al of the churches on Sunday. The
fact is now apparent to all, that the
city authorities are completely under
the control of the liquor interest, and
while allowing liquor sellers to vio-
late the laws with impunity, are de-
termined to enforce them with 1igor
against the Temperance women,
whose only offence is that they are
trying by moral suasion, to stop the
fearful tide of intemperance. There
is day of reckoning coming for
these unfaithful and time-serving
officials of Cincinnati, who have thus
openly arrayed themselves against
The moral and Christian sentiment of
the whole community.

Why Is 1t So Z?

ALI the Democratic papers that
have come to our notice have given
the temperance movement the cold
shoulder. Why is it so? They GER
tainly can but acknowledge that in
the abstract, temperance is right, and
drunkenness wrong. Then why
throw the weight of their influence
against a great moral reform that
should enlist the sympathy of all good
men ?- Batavia Courier.
We have also noticed the fact stat
ed by our cotemporary, and believe
it is almost universally true. Is it
because Democratic editors are gen.
erallya little too fond of "John Barley
corn, or because they think the ma
jority of their readers are 50? Per-
haps little of both.

Secrets of the Liquor Traffic.


We have seen copy of a conf
dental circular Intended for liquor
dealers, in which some of the secrets
of the trade were revealed.
1t contains 244 receipts for manu-
featuring all kinds of spurious drinks
and fancy liquors out of corn whisky;
and discloses where the power of the
liquor traffic ies-thatis, in creating
a mint of money out of trife.
One 6asshel Of corn, worth in Iowa
some 20 cents, will make 8 gallons
OF alcohol, worth from 81 to 50 per
gallon.
Alcohol is bad enough, but there
are more virulent and rapid poisons.
By putting stryehnine, another name
for nux vomica, a rank poison, into
the malt, bushel will make 4 gal
Ions. Then, after distillation, by ad-
ding deadly night-shade, Ietc., with
4 gallons more of water, there are s
gallons of equally intoxicating drink
from one bushel of corn, sold at say
81 a gallon, or SIG the product of
bushel of corn.
But that is for the rabble. Now
let us see the delicacies prepared for
the gentry and the ladies. For this
purpose the manufacturer has 81 fla
voring extracts II colorings, "a choice
essential oils, and SO drugs. With
these, by little slight of hand, he
will take gallon of corn whisky and
convert it into French brandy, Bour-
bon whisky, Holland gin, or port,
champagne, madeira, claret, or any
kind of wine or cordial you choose.
For example: To make French
brandy, take brandy coloring half
pint, brandy favor a half pint, age
and body preparations 1 pound, corn
whisky 40 gallons, and you have 40
gallons of French brandy, worth from
81 to S16 per gallon.
In the same way vile compound,
representing every variety of the
choicest liquors, is prepared
And this is the common liquor of
commerce. DR.. Cox, state chemist of
Ohio, states that of 600 inspections
made in two years ninety per cent.
were spurious.
The following case was among the
number:
ga druggist in Cincinnati ordered
from New York two hogsheads of the
best brands of French brandy, for
medical purposes.
ITO test them DR.. Cox poured
some in glass and inserted a steel
blade, and in fifteen minutes the
brandy turned black, and the steel
a bright copper color. The drug
gist refused to pay, and stood suit,
and the doctor analyzed the stuff be-
fore the court and jury, and found
that it contained nitric acid, sulphur
ic acid, Prussic acid, Guano pepper,
and fusil oil, and theiury pronounced
it worthless.
Such is the disclosure. And now
there are 100000 men, makers, and
venders, entrenched behind this i'm
mensely lucrative business, and prey
ing upon the vitals of the commu-
nifty.
VIII not the nation rise up as one
man and burst the shackles, and
break up this murderous destruction
of life? 1t seems to us every Chris
tian, every patriot, must come up to
the conflict, with determined energy
and overwhelming enthusiasm, till
the curse is removed United Pres.

saders'' be a Lasting One?
This question is being asked and
answered negatively by all 'Patrons
OF Whisky" and hesitatingly afirma-
lively, by temperance people. And
for the encouragement of the sfCru-
saders' and their friends, wish to
say all conquered territory belongs
to the conquerors, and will be held
by them as long as they desire to do
So In proof of this statement I
need refer to one fact only, but
could to many similar ones.
The town of Salem, Columbiana
county, in this State, was conquered
at the time of the old Washingtonian
movement. Since that time no sa-
looms or grog-shops of any character
have been permitted to exist there.
Several times there has been secret
indications of rebellion, that have
been promptly suppressed before
they could get into active operation.
Salem is one of the most energetic
manufacturing and business towns in
the State, and has prospered satis-
factorily under thorough temperance
influences. For several years 1 was q
resident of that town, and know these
facts to exist there, and Hon. Ruken-
brod of the State Senate, a citizen of
Salem, and just such man as such
a place would be likely to produce.
told me that the same temperance
influence has been maintained from
the beginning until the present time.
So that the Crusaders" have no
to convert, or hells to ex-
in Salem.
