The undersigned Join in call for a
state convention of delegates to be he'd
in Denver, June 23, for the purpose Of
choosing fourtdelegates to the anti-mo-
nopoly conference which convenes in
Chicago, Illinois, July 4, 1888. Believ-
ing that crisis, forced by the power of
organized greed, is approaching not
alone in our national affairs, but in civ
ilization itself, we appeal to the freemen
of Colorado to organize themselves
anew to stand with their brothers all
over America again as they and their
fathers have stood before, for the rights
of man and the dignity of human nature.
All who favor the restriction of the
power of corporations, the holding, of
the public lands for actual settlers, the
suppression of gambling in the necessa-
RES Of life, and of combinations which
fix prices against the natural laws of
trade, the destruction of legal rights in
vested wrongs, and the overthrow Of all
monopolies and of all systems and laws
made in the interest of the few and
against the many, all who oppose the
control of the currency by banks of
issue, and the taxation of all industry for
the benefit Of favorite enterprises under
the guise ola protective tariff: all who
favor the election of the president, vice
president and United States senators, by
direct vote of the people; all who ia
vor simple and just government as
against that which is complex and cor
rupt, are invited to choose delegates to
represent them in the state convention.
The apportionment of delegates is
made upon the basis of three to each
county las they were before the session
of the last general assembly, and one for
every thousand voters or majority frac-
ton thereof, figuring from the returns
Of the election in November 1882 This
rule Of apportionment will allow to each
county delegates as follows:

AS some funds will be necessary to
successfully carry out the plans and
reach the desired end, each delegate is
requested to collect from the friends of

state central committee, which will be
selected at the state convention. A

apolis on the sixth, and selected dele
oates to the Chicago Conference

gates to the Chicago Conference: Es
| Resolved, That the natural rights OF
man constitute the basis of this anti
monopoly movement, and that the time
| has fully come for the emphatic and
practical reassertion of these rights ,by
| departments of the government.
Resolved, That the slavery oi the
negro was one form only OF serVitude,,
and that it's abolition was the natural
prelude to the emancipation OF all races
| from all forms of slavery, whether grow
| ing out of the legalized robbery OF pro-
tective tariff, the robbery OF the puollc
domain. the power of concentrated cap
ital in alliance with the labor saving
machinery. or the domination OF corpo-
rate wealth in the control OF the currency.
Resolved, That perpetual debt is
perpetual curse and we demand the
prompt payment of the public debt.
Resolved, That it is not the purpose
of the anti-monopoly movement TO ald
the democratic or the republican party
but to defeat them both and that beilev-
ing them to be wholly incapable OF re-
form and necessarily under the control
of concentrated capital and corporate
wealth. the purpose of our movement is
to take possession of the government
and administer it for the protection Of
the rights and interests of the whole
people.
Resolved, That in order to distribute
the burdens of taxation among citizens
in proportion to their ability to pay, and
in order to prevent the accumulation of
all wealth in the hands of few, taxes
should be assessed on graduated scale,
falling lightly on the poor man and those
of moderate means and increasing with
the wealth of the individual, 50 that the
taxes of the millionaires would be so
heavy as to make the accumulation Of
excessive private fortunes forever im-
possible.
Resolved, That the growing DISPOSE
ton to ape the styles and usages of for
eign courts and foreign potentates, is de-
grading to the simplicity of republican
institutions; and that our public func-
tionaries are the servants, and not the
masters, of the people; and must content
themselves with such remuneration as is
a fair equivalent for the work they have
to perform; and we are in favor of cut
ting down the salary of the president of
the United States to not more than $685.

StOning President Arthur.

While Ell route to Louisville to at
tend the exposition at that place some
sort of dirty piece of fl esh, threw a
stone through the car window at the
president, but happily missed him by
few feet. We can scarcely conceive
what evil spirit could have had pos
session of one to cause him to do such
thing. More probable than other
wise the thrower of the missile was an
old political hack, who had long
worked in the traces of politics, and
had been promised much, and received
nothing from those he had worked for
and then sought this opportunity to
obtain his revenge on the president,
who most likely never saw or heard of
him, If this representation concern-
ing his motive is correct, he should go
and deal directly with the one who
gave him his hope of future reward.
A man who cannot go into politics,
and take what the occupation meets
nut t9 its workers, in the way of slams,
hangs and abuse, and disappointments,
and remain good natured until the end
would do himself great justice by
keeping out oft entirely. Assaulting
the President, let him be of what party
he may, is an insult to the country
at large, and one that any good citizen
will resent. A man In his
right mind, it is not believed, would
so far forget himself, as to commit
such deed.

friendship between the subscribers
and the paper are as hard to break by
an outside third party as the link
which binds old friends in business or
social life. Occasional defeats and
errors in newspaper are over looked
by those who have become attached to
it through it's perusal for years. They
sometimes become dissatisfied with it
on account of something which has
slipped into its columns, and may
stop taking it /; but the absence of the
familiar sheet at their homes and
offices for few weeks becomes an
insupportable privation, and they
hasten to take it again, and possibly
apologize for having it stopped. 40
friendship on earth is more constant
than that contracted by the reader for
a journal which makes an honest and
earnest effort to merit its continued
support. Hence conscientiously
conduetedpaper becomes favorite in
the family.-EX.

not so agreeable as one should think,
and the rainy one can of course be no
more inviting. Flour from wheat
raised here makes very poor bread il
crumbles and gets hard right away.
The dryness of the atmosphere must
be the cause, for the wheat | have
seen is plump and nice to look at, but
there is no taste to it when cracked in
the mouth. Flour is so high, $500
per barrel, but potatoes are scarce at
81, to cents per pound. Butter is
imported from California and sells in

they have to be fed during the dry
season to keep the milk in them and
the milk has a peculiar taste AID

The winters here are said not to be so
hard or cold as i'm Minnesota and no
snow storms of any consequence, but
the snow fall is sometimes from two
to three feet on the level. Cattle are
left to roam around and take care of
themselves good deal in the winter
but that they suffer and starve to death
is proved by the many dead animals
lying around in the woods. Strange
enough the cattle are fat and nice to
look at. Taking it all in all believe
that if Il man could find range with
plenty ofhandy WATERPROOF it and go in
for stock-raising and gardening he
could make a nice living here, and
such places can yet be had, from ten
to 20 miles from town. | have seen
a few nice gardens here, bat they are
watered and sprinkled every day.
The soil or plow-land, where there is
any, is mixture of yellow clay and
sand, no black loom have | seen. If
any should like to come here to live
my advice is to come and take look
at the country first, and not come in
the spring, for that is the time of the
year when folks get fooled, for the
grass is green then and the soil is wet
and soft. believe that could not
induce my family to stay her =, so l
shall probably come back and take up
my residence in Minnesota again aud
| am not the only one, for some others
are already leaving for the East and
many more are to follow when the

cured of the west going fever, and be
more contented to spend the rest of

"A wONDEREVL COW.

In view of the fact that there is al
present general revival of interest in
everything pertaining to the dairy and
its products, the following from an ex-
change will be interesting to butter
makeRs
The American trotter is of recent orr
gin, and, during the lifetime of compare
lively young men now living, has re-
duced the record from 2:3O to. about
2:1O per mile, or nearly twenty seconds,
or, as our business men would say, over
Sper cent.
This spirit of progress has not been
confined to the breeding and training of
roadster horses, but American breeders
OF dairy cattle have made equally as
creditable record and if breeders on
the other side of the Atlantic have made
careful tests that will compare with the
following we should like to publish their
records
The best yearly butter record is that
of Eurotas 1854, owned by A. B. OAR
ling, of Ramsey, N. ]. During the
test of Errotas 2,454, which occupied
eleven months and six days lending Oct.
Is, 1880, she made IT'S pounds of but
ter from 1925 pounds of milk, averaging
one pound of butter from less than ten
pounds of milk. In the month of June,
1880, she made lightweight pounds Of
butter. The monthly record of Eurotas
2,44 has been exceeded by Lady Nell
second l, 795, owned by Charles F. Mills,
of Springfield, Ill. Lady Nell second
1,795 dropped her calf in March, and
her milk was kept separate, and the
cream therefrom churned by itself, from
the 18th day of April to the 18th day of
June (sixty-one days., during which
period her cream produced 1873 pounds
of butter-ninety pounds of butter per
month of thirty days - twenty-one
pounds per week, or three pounds per
day. Lady Nell second 1875 was 5
years old when the test was made, and
gave during the trial an average of
eighteen quarts of milk per day. The
best weekly yields of the above-named
COWS have been exceeded by Jersey Belle
of Scituate 1928, now dead. This COW
has a well-authenticated record of
twenty-five pounds and two ounces in
one week. The three COWS above
named have the best yearly, monthly
and weekly butter records, and we con-
fidently expect, at no late date, that the
records will be improved. Perform
ances, and not fancy points, are the
essential matters that attract the atten-
ton Of the practical Jersey breeder of
the day, who first inquiries as to the
of fourteen to twenty pound
COWS in hexpedigree of the sire or dam
that he wishes to purchase.

A GOOD REASON.

They are two lovers-he 10 and she 8.
1t is June evening, and they are sit
ting with their arms around each other
on the lower step of the front stoop of
her fathers house. Bill Tomkins, the
boy next door, comes along about that
time, sees them sitting there, gives an
audible chuckle, and goes off to summon
other boys to come and witness the
spectacle. Then the adolescent Romeo
turns to his Juliet and says with an ex-
preston of offended dignity:
"Lizzie, I don't like Bill Tomkins.
"Why?" murmurs Lizzie.
"'Cos," returns her lover, "he's so
regardless"

The railroads have already brought the
Territory into communication with the
rest OF the country, and the development
of the mines must ultimately bring in a
large Gentle opulation-almost alto
gether male. A strong tendency in the
direction of marriages between Gentle
men and the daughters OF Mormon par
ents must spring up. Indeed, this is
said to show itself already. There is no
surplus of women in the West from
which to recruit polygamous households;
the births of the two sexes are always
very nearly equal, and the Mormon
population is no longer being rapidly
increased from abroad, as it was in the
times of the early persecution of the
church. 1t is now stationary, or nearly
so, and being rapidly hemmed in by
community having social system which
all experience shows is the only one per-
manently adapted to modern industrial
life. AS the Territory fills up, and the
Mormons are brought more and more
into relations with the rest of the world,
one of the strongest internal causes of
disintegration will unquestionably be the
sense of shame operating upon the
younger female generation. In the nat
ural course of things, some of the daugh-
tiers of Mormon householders must marry
Gentiles, and others, who do not marry
outside the church, will be made keenly
aware that they are surrounded by a
community which regards their position
as a degraded one. AS long as they
could keep themselves separated from
the rest of the world, this Gentle feel
ing was of very little consequence to
them. It did not affect them in their
daily life; it was something remote from
them, which they did not even need to
disregard. This cannot continue for
ever, and indeed change must begin,
if it has not begun already, as soon as
the surrounding monoganlic GENTLE sys-
tenn of marriage has fair opportunity
to enter into competition with its rival.
Under these circumstances, there is
nothing to be done with the Mormons
but to let them alone. Persecution has
been tried, and has only served to
strengthen and increase them. Law has
been tried, and has proved of no use,
because it has not been enforced. From
the circumstances of the case, it can
not be.

CALICO PRINTING IN AMERICA.

Amasa, the father of William Sprague,
laid the foundation of calico printing in
this country in 1928, and erected his mill
on the site of his present Cranston print
works. The difficulties which young
American printers were obliged to over
come were stupendous. For long time
Amasa struggled with almost insur-
mountable difficulties, displaying per-
severance seldom seen. Sometimes the
fabrics were ruined by the acids, and
sometimes the colors would run to-
gether and produce the most disastrous
results.
The difficulties seemed to increase in
number. Thousands and thousands of
yards were often ruined, and what were
then considered small fortunes were
more than once lost in this way. Amasa
Sprague, however, was not to be foiled,
and he determined to go to Europe to
see how the business was done there.
He knew beforehand that it was the
purpose of the English manufacturers to
conceal their process of the art Of dying,
bleaching and printing. The only way,
then, was for him to secure work in
some establishment, and this he sue
ceeded in doing for the compensation of
only few shillings week. Step by
step he gained favor and advancement
from his employers, until at last, to his
great happiness, he was promoted to
someposition in the coloring-room, where
he learned the long-coveted art. When
he felt satisfied that he had acquired
sufficient knowledge of it he returned
home. He started his print-works in
the town of Cranston, and gradually ad-
vanced in prosperity.

have not our faith in mulching and pre-
fer beds of plants, young trees, etc., to
have the soil stirred up about them FREE

soaked it thoroughly in, warm water,

cloths at one end and used that to push
the turnip down. The trouble was soon
ended and the COW returned to her

of the offending substance by pressure

grasping the gullet just below the OBJ

most cases quick relief may be obtained
by this method, and it has the merit OF
being free from risk. But in the case
to-day it was not effectual. even re-

to mash the turnip by placing block at

CosT OF THE SMo.-When silo is
dug in the side of hill and the walls
are constructed of rough stone laid up
with mortar, composed in part of hy-
drauic cement, or of concrete, the cost
is ordinarily about 81 per ton capacity.
If stone is near at hand and lime is
found on the premises this cost may be
If both are obtained from
distance the expense will be greater. In
some sections the walls of the silo may
be cheaply constructed of hewn logs
laid up as they ordinarily are to form
log building. If a ravine is utilized for
a silo all the expense of excavating is
saved. If the bottom of the silo is on a
evel with the floor of the barn or feed
ing shed there is a great saving effected
IN moving the ensilage. August Gofart
estimates the cost of gathering, hauling,
,hopping and packing ton OF corn
'odder in France at franc, or about 20 |
cents. Several persons in this country
out the cost of the above work at from
80 to rs cents per ton. When the corn
s raised on high-priced land, which is
MANFRED by commercial fertilizers, the
ost of raising, harvesting and packing is
generally about So per ton. When the
orn is raised on land comparatively
heap and at the same time rich the
ost is reduced about one-half. Several
