To Colorado wheat Growers.

Farmers! The extremely low prices
offered for our wheat by the millers Of
Colorado, at time when wheat is bring
ing fair prices ail over the country is a
subject deserving your most earnest at
tention. = - ~
Producing grade of wheat second to
none in the world, there must be some
thing radically wrong when we are com.
PEELED to sell it in, Fort Collins for Los
while wheat of an Inferior quality
brings $l.60 in Chicago. We, farmers OF
Lsrimer county, have held several public
meetings, at which the wheat question
was discussed in all its bearings. After
careful, candid and impartial consider
alton of the whole matter we are unable
to discover any cause for the present low
prices other than the dictum of the Mil
lers' Association. Consequently we con-
cluded that the best course to pursue
under present circumstances ID to ship
the greater portion of our wheat out Of
the state, although we may not realize
any more thereby than if we sold it at
home. We see no alternative left US
until we become organized in such way
that we can act understandingly for our
own interest in moments notice. The
time has come when If we would protect
our interests we must be organized.
A glance will show that all professions,
trades and callings, (except farmers) have
their organized clubs, associations, and
brotherhoods. Farmers as a class do not
combine permanently for mutual pro-
lection, and consequently become an
easy prey to grain spectators. To initi-
ate movement towards permanent
organization we have elected officers,
and appointed committees to conduct
the business of shipping our wheat.
Committees are now at work perfecting
arrangements with the railroads for
special rates to Chicago, soliciting ship
ments from our neighbors all over the
county, and gathering information from
every possible source bearing on the
question at issue.
The lines are drawn and the question
to be decided is whether the farmers
shall have anything to say in regard to.
what prices their wheat will bring when
put upon the market.
We respectfully and earnestly invite
your cooperation in this movement for
our mutual protection. If We are to
have living prices for our wheat we must
of necessity unite in demanding them.
The first and most important step to be
taken is to hold public meetings in your
respective counties, and arrange to ship
as much wheat as possible without delay.
For the committee on address,
JOSEPH MURRAY, Secretary.

Irish are going to cause it. All Europe

state of affairs cannot continue much
longer. The mutterings of discomfort
must soon crystalize into action. There
is reason to believe that the oppressed
Irish, the Socialists and the Nihilists

extent and activity of which is fal
stronger than any like conspi racy that
history has ever known. The European
governments have ruled with an lror
hand in an age when such rule would

thing seems.to point to revolt against
this absoiutism. If the old country't

their tactics. Force will not suffice in an
age of reason and of individual rights

n0tice that the Republican press IL
highly excited over call from Lynn,
Massachusetts,, for national working
mans convention, while they appear to
cherish the idea that il is gigantic
scheme to boost Ben Butler IS candi-
date for presidency. The New York
Herald sums it up thus; 4Butler has .
very clever scheme by means of which
majority of the delegates may be scored
over to his side at the democratic ma
tional convention. In the early part Of
the year, some weeks before the demo-
cratic national convention will be held,
the national labor perty will hold its
convention, and General Butler will
be itsnominee for president. OF this
Butler is sure; he can have the nomina-
ton for the asking, and it is very neces-
sary to the governors plans that he
should have it. The vote of this party
under ordinary circumstances, with
some cranky labor or currency reformer
at its head, would, of course, not be
worth considering; but, with q man like
Butler as the leader, who would, besides
securing thousands of labor votes, un-
doubtedly have the warm support of
John Kelly and Malone, the result in
three or four states would be changed
from democratic to republican. This, at
least, lis the Butler theory. Then he will
be in condition to say, Take your
choice, gentlemen, between me and a
republican. you do not nominate me
you cannot win; with me you may. l
am good to my friends. He firmly be-
lieves that this will secure him the
democratic nomination, and he believes
just as firmly with this nomination he
can be elected
Well, believe Butler would make
| just about the right kind Of a president
for this country of ours, and | am in

provided of course, that he has ever
thought of it. There can be no doubt
now that Butler will be in the field next
year. as predicted the Saturday follow
ing his defeat for the governorship of
massachusetts. The methods by which
he hopes to secure a nomination rests
with himself, and am not bothered
about them. have sufficient confidence
in the man to know that they will not
be more dishonest than the usual
methods of candidates. Butler has Sc
cared strong hold upon the affections
of the working; people, and will receive
their hearty united support, for he de-
serves it. l am satisfied to let time de-

One of the most disagreeable things
in the world is toothache; and one Of the
most difficult to make up your minds to
perform is to have the acher extracted.
The reason for this latter is that 80 many
so-called dentists are nothing but butch
ers. The wisest disposition to make Of
an aching tooth is to have it pulled, and
the next wisest is to have the job done
by competent operator. Such an ope-
rator is DR.. Dameron, in the Union
block. OF my personal knowledge can

the able efforts put forth by the gentlemen
having charge of the affair were not as salts
factory as was deserved. However, those
who attended had pleasant time. 1t is not
known whether the ball was financial fail

+ Of Labor and Reduce the -
49, Wastes.
Evolution or Revelation.

Evolution or Revelation.
SHORTENING THE HOURS OF LABOR.
With governmental co operation there
would be less work for each and more
work for all.
If all persons able to work were use
fully employed, an average of three
hours per day from each would produce
all the necessities and luxuries of life,
with large surplus to be added to the
national or communal capital; in the
way of public Improvements and public
benefits.
Why are men compelled to work ten
or more hours under the present system :?
First-Because the employer takes for
his profit, all over and above three hours
labor, to keep himself and other loafers
in idleness and luxury.
Second-Because men cannot get
steady employment all the year round,
and so are compelled to work long hours
to make up for lost time.
Third Not more than 5oper cent of
the adult population are regularly and
usefully employed. A great many labor
hard at work that is useless, or abso-
lutely injurious to oociety.
Shortening the hours Of labor would
be the greatest boon that could be con-
ferred upon mankind at present, for the
following reasons:
First Suppose in a commu-
nifty there is certain amount Of labor
to be performed in given time, BY re,
ducing the hours of labor 10 per cent, or
say to nine instead, of ten hours for q
days work, it follows that to complete
the given work in given time, 10 per
cent more workmen must be employed /;
and if legal work day was made five
hours, to perform the necessary work of
society, double the number of hands now
employed would be needed, thus giving
the classes at present compelled to be
hoodlums, tramps and loafers, an oppor-
tunity to become useful members of 30
ciety, besides making large drafts on
those who are at present uselessly and
vicious1y employed, w
Second-Shortening the hours of labor
would give more opportunity for recrea-
ton, social and intellectual culture, and
general development The man who
works long and hard cannot be healthy,
educated and refined; excessive toll bru-
talizes and reduces the worker to the
lowest condition of animalism.
Third-Shortening the hours of labor
would speedily prepare men for other
and higher reforms; in fact, We regard
this measure as simrly amelioratiVe and
as means to an end. the end being eco
nomic emancipation and higher nobler
life.
THE WASTES OF SOCIETY.
In the Social State, with governmental
cooperation as the corner stone, nearly
all the wastes of society as now existing
might be abolished.
Asapeople, and as individuals, We are
exceedingly parsimonious in the expen-
diture of small amounts of coin, but yet
extremely extravagant in the employ
ment of time, labor and material.
In the four professions of theology,
law physic and war there are millions of
the most intelligent, educated and able
bodied men employed, for no apparent
purpose but to delude, rob and murder
their fellows.
