IN SLAVERY.


movement III the interest OF i'm American
system of finance, based on an entirely re-
publican and national currency, is the bit
teropposition that such just and proita-
BILE policy, so fraught with advantage to
themselves especially, meets at the hands
OF the mercantile classes in Colorado. This
prejudice is not the result of study or in
vestigation. 1t is not the honest outcome
OF an honest desire TO know the truth, or
even, as is the case in most other proceed
lngs OF the same class Of men, from a sell
fish anxiety to protect their interests or
advance their business. Let us review
the situation. Tairtecn years ago the MT
ton emerged from one of the most terrific
contests for ITS existence ever suffered by
any nation. 1t had been forced into the
ordeal Of preserving its very life by the
lntemperate demands of a heartless mon
ey-archy, whose felon hand had grasped
in its iron clutch Une-fourth of the pOpula-
ton and One-third of the territory of the
United States, and had disgraccd and de-
graded 'the land Of the free and the home
OF the brave to a land grOaning under
the imperiOus tyranny of political infideli-

1t had so brutali2cd and corrupted the
public conscience as to be able to enlist in
lnhuman schemes of national policy the
most influential classes of the people; and
then, as now, so blinded the eyes of the
mercantile classes as to secure through
them the political control of the nation.
They even went 50 far ns 70 nresont to thr
paralvzed pa2e of mankind the monstrlus

Of tbe hest and ths nurcst of onr r;t,yons
that il Iopiod ;tsnIrin tbnir oyou ond tl,o
pulpits of the land were filed with their
devoted accompliccs, and the sacred vaults
of our cathedrals and sanctuaries echoed
with the solemn mockery of truth and ms.
tice that claimed for the slave master thc
sanction of Heaven ON his inhuman traffic
Such were then the infatuations of blind
prejudice founded on willing Ignorance.
