THE FRIEND OF LABOR.

TO organize for social or material advance.
ment; the right of wage-workers to use all
lawful means to protect themselves against
the encroachments of moneyed monop-
lists, and the right to fix a price for
their labor commensurate with the labor
required of them, and we hold that every
man has the right to dispose of his own
labor upon such terms as he may think
will best promote his interest. In rela-
tions between capital and labor, the Dem
ocratic party favors such measures and
policies as will promote harmony be-
tween them, and will adequately protect
the rights and interests of both. We
freely indorse and approve the laws passed
pursuant to the demands of former Demo
cratic Conventions making provision for
the safety and protection Of laborers and
miners, and provision for the collection oil
their wages, and are in faver Of all other
enactments to that end which may be
necessary and proper.

II is the duty of the Government to re-
possess itself Of all public lands heretofore
granted for the benefit of corporations,
which have been forfeited by non-com-
pliance with the conditions of the grant,
and should hold the same for the use and
benefit of the people.
Laws should be passed TO prevent the
ownership of large tracts OF land by cor.
portations, or by persons not citizens OF
the United States, or who have not de-
clared their intention to become such as
provided by law. Congress should dis
courage the purchase of public land in
large bodies by any parties for specula-
tive purposes, but should preserve the
same as far as possible Tor actual settlers,
and to that end all subsidies of land. as
well as money to corporations and specu-
lators should cease forever.

The Democratic party Of the State of
Nevada, IN convention assembled, re-
affirm It's devotion to the Federal Union,
and to the Constitution of the United

He has maintained the peace and dig
nifty Of the nation; has upheld Public
Credit; has reduced public expenses; has
restored millions of acres to the public
domain, and has impartially enforced the
laws throughout the length and breadth Of
the land.
Under his wise and benifcent administers.
tion the whole country Is enjoying remark
able prosperity and all sectional feeling has

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Wsfully Of the efforts Democratic
Representatives in Congress to perform the
pledge made by the last National Demo-
cratic Convention to reform and remove
taxes, to the end that the labor of the
country be relieved of onerous and un-
necessary burdens.
We denounce the present tariff system,
which creates an annual surplus Of $780,
00U, 900 in the National Treasury, by tax
ing the every day necessities of our farm
ers, miners and laborers for the benefit of
protected Eastern manufacturers 50 for
every dollar that goes into the Treasury,
and which does not protect the laborsr.
We declare that taxtation schould be
limited to the requirements Of government,
and that the burden Of taxation should
rest upon those who use luxuries rather
than upon those who use only the necessaries
Of life.

No More Royalty.

In the Supreme Court Of Colorado
there was rendered last week by Justice
Helm decision which IS of very great i'm
portance to the farmers OF Colorado.
The case decided is that OF DIR. Wheeler.
of Denver, vs. The Northern Colorado Irri
eating Company, commonly known as the
High Line Ditch Company. The suit was
brought nearly two years ago in the Dis
| trict Court OF Colorado.
An absirsctof the case would show that
DIR. Wheeler, owning piece OF land snder
the ditch OF the defendants, applied for
water and rendered TO the company the
sum OF si.5o per inch for what water he
wanted for the year, which was the price
OF the water at that time: and that the
ditch company charged additionally roy
atty OF $40 per acre, which they claimed
should be paid before the water
would be furnished. DR.. Wheeler refused
TO pay the royalty. yet allowed the
tender OF the water rate, already made 10
stand. The company refused to carry wa
ter to DIR. wheeier's land, and as result
Of no irrigation the crops were burned out
and destroyed by drouth. Wheeler applied
to the District Court for mandamus TO COM
pei the company to furnish him the water
Complaint was filed and defendant de-
INJURED.
Judge Elliott dec ided upon the demurrer
that the $40 was part of the purchase price
OF the water and must be paid.
The Supreme Court has rendered its de-
cision and held that the only necessary
sum to be paid was the price per inch and
that the royalty of $40 was in such case un-
reasonable and could not be demanded.
The result OF this will be TO entitle DIR.
Wheeler damages for the loss OF crop and
to the right to have the water carried to him
by the defendant company at such times as
he may need upon tender of the statutory

SALIDA, Colo, Jan. "A fire broke

workmen who were engaged In the upper
story OF the building discovered the lire in

of F street, sweeping everything before it.
1t made clean sweep, burning everything
from the Presbyterian Church to the Post
Office on both sides of the main business

between First and Second streets.
The total loss is estimated at soOc, 600, OF

is thought that every one was insured more

the Colorado Iron Industry.

From the Denver Republics.
The following extracts from a pri-
vate letter written from the iron soiks at
South Pueblo by gentleman well acquaint-
ed with the iron industry will prove inter
esting:
1.-The more experience 1 have with Colo
RADIO steel, the greater my belief that Rocky
Mountain ore produces the finest iron and
steel in the country, if not in the world. 1t
will soon have national reputation as the
steel of the future. Analyses of Besse-
mer manufacture of pig'iron and steel,
tests of finished product, prove conclusive
ly that every kind, shape and description
can be made cheaper and better here (South
Pueblo than by any mill or any district in
America
"Mr. G. W. Holdredge, General Superin-
tendent Of the Burlington & Missouri, has
an assortment of rail from Eastern mills.
He told me last year that the Colorado Coal
& Iron Company's rails were better than
any steel he had.
ITO cheaper production blast furnaces
must soon be built in the mountains where
iron, coke, lime, ETC., abounds, exception
ally fine and plentiful. Near Glenwood
Springs, Colorado, are deposits of the finest
iron ore, coking and anthracite coal, lime,
clay, etc.
AT Birmingham, Alabama, pig iron is
made for sla (it is claimed it can be made
for s7.5o) but they have little or no Besse-
| mer iron. Competent iron men say in the
| Rockies pig iron can be make just as cheap
as in Alabama. Bessemer iron is worth
several dollars per ton more than Alabama
and Tennessee iron.

THE FIRST WINTER.

Her first summer ended, Mother Earth is weep
ing;
Heavy is her heart with loneliness and dread;
She never yet has learned that flowers awake
from sleeping:
And when they close their eyes she thinks
them dead.
Overcome at length by agony of grieving
She sobs herself to sleep at eventide,
And the Old Year, mid snowdIifts white up
heaving,
Has fallen cold and lifeless by her side.
In the dark night star;-and. 10, the Earth is
dreaming,
Peacefully dreaming underneath the snow;
She dreams that the wales with silver lakes are
cleaning,
Dreams that the hills with summer sunshine
glow.
Nor is the vision to vanish with her waking;
The night of the year is followed by the day;
The morning of the Spring time is gloriously
breaking;
And darkness, grief and fear must flee away
First, as the dawn of the new year is nearing,
Gentle Heptica opens her blue eyes:
Close to Mother Earth bows down her head, half
fearing.
And softly wakes her to glad surprise.
Low is the voice; yet Earth from sleep hath
started;
And, as the blossoms open one by one,
" Death is but Sleep" she singeth, happy hearted
And life 7setoc0raeth When the might Is done"

1t is clearly evident to most Americans
that the advantage of this country lies in
multiplying domestic industries, rather
than in diminishing them. Every new
industry that can be maintained, which
supplies want felt by the people, is a
clear gain in every way, as employing
workmen, keeping profits at home, using
materials that are produced here, paying
wages that are spent here, and tending to
make us industrially independent The
very highest form of national life is that
which exists with the widest possible d.
versi6cation of industry. England suffers
to-day because she has intensified her man
features and neglected to cultivate her soil
thoroughly. Ireland and India suffer be-
cause they have agriculture without manu-
features. We give our people chance in
every direction, and the most robust ma
