Editor Labor Enquirer.
ASHCROFT, CoLO., oct. S-Dear friend {;
AS is every town in the state so is Ash
croft, governed by the monopolizing,
soulleSS crew. The Tam O'Shanter group
of mines, far above timber line, have but
few men now working owing to a re-
ducton of wages. Five dollars per day
in that high altitude would be only rea-
-sonably pay, But what cares the man
(whom funkeys exhibit as having done
so much for ColoradoJ if he could get
men to work or starvation pay. There
is also freezeout game seemingly on the
tapis. Poor men have too many rich
mines, therefore the game is to keep
eastern capital away and the knowing
ones buy dirt cheap; then will they in
vite their brothers to come and buy of
them. The same game was played with
Aspen, till one honest, sturdy man Mr..
Wheeler) saw how matters stood
Now there are fifty men employed this
fall to the one last.
Mr.. Tabor has a boy brotherin-law
employed carrying the mail from the
postofficc to the mines. 1t is very ac-
commodating to say the least. Young
Stephen McCourt is bound to have men
notice him. He had a hundred dollar
mare hired, belonging to- ]. B. Walsh, at
the paltry sum of ten dollars per month.
The month brings the. mare home not
worth twenty dollars. What of it? He
is Tabor's brother-in-law, and Walsh
dare not grumble. There are yet hire
lings living all the same-Connors and
Sweeney, of eadville, stink.

The Calender Minstrel company has

Grand during the week, and the per
formances have fully merited the audi
ences drawn. Several notable additions
have been made to this company since
their former appearance in this city and
the new features added have all tended
to enhance the character of their per
formances. The stage setting in the first
part is one of the prettiest scenes ever
shown in this city and and was greeted
each evening by prolonged applause.

the great spectacular drama of The

boards at Tabor's opera house. The fol

that there are two brothers, "Royston'

The Other Side.

Joseph Medill, of the Chicago Tribune
the kind hearted philanthropist who in
1877 advised all his readers to put strych-
nine into the food that they furnished
"tramps," was given chance last week
bv the senate committee to air his views
on capital and labor.
He was worthy of his previous record
as an inhuman brute, added to it the lus,
ter born of unrivalled mendacity when
he said that the cause of the misery Of
the wage classes of this country is their
own improvidence and lack of thrift
that there are workers who squander the
greater part of their wages in drink and
tobacco, that those who thus spend can
not save, etc, etc.
The real cause of this miserable con-
dition of the wage-slave, is as every in,
telligent mechanic now knows, that la
Dor only receives two-tenths of the
value it creates, the other eight-tenths
being ''hornswaggled" by such legalized
robbers and rascals as Medill.
He further says that the workingmen
of this country spend at least $4OO, ,OOO,'

sertion that at least Ss00,O00,OOO per an
mum is spent by the loafng classes for
wines, cordials and spirits, aad at least
$50, 600 900 for fine tobaccos and cigars.
Ideplore the liquor traffic but l brand
any drunken, disgusting loafer like
Medill as liar when he seeks to cast
upon the laboring classes the slur of an
intemperance of which his own class is
the originator and chief supporter
