A Breeze From Colorado.

There have been three striking speeches
made Oh the Republican side of the Senate
on the Elections Force Bill. They were
made by Stewart of Nevada, Teller of Col
orado, and Wolcott of Colorado That
made by the last named, Is the most strik-
ing of the three. We publish it i'll full, not
only because Of its merit, bat because it
puts in words the new feeling of the North
west which last November resulted in the
total wrecking of the Republican party i'll
that section. And not only for that rea.
son, but because it is the utterance of the
new element which in the next few years
is to control the Republican party West of
the Allegheny mountains. The speaker.
Senator Wolcott, is young-only forty-two
IIe vas q soldier Of the civil war, who
went into the service at sixteen, just as the

Governor Boies, the Democratic Cover
nor-elect Of Iowa. in his speech at the
Tariff-reform banquet in New York gave
L very clear idea of what thoughts were il
the minds of the Republican farmers Of
that State who last November refused to
support their party nominees. He gave
statistics to show that so per cent, of the
male population Of that State are engaged
in agricultural pursuits, while only PEI
cent. are employed in manufacturing en-
Jerprises. The average wages Of able-bOdied
men employed upon farms is $3.50 per
month, Oh 20 cents per day and board, the
lowest price paid any class Of laborers il
the State. and yet out of 900 farmers re
porting, 500 claim that help at these wages
las been employed at Il loss. The cost OF
producing an acre OF corn ready for market
IS placed at rs: the average crop for five
years has been 33a bushels. and the average
price y cents per bushel. making the entire
value Of the crop when marketed $7.33,
III 81 cents less than the actual cost of pro-
Iuction. Iowa is one Of the greatest corr
producing States in the Union, and the
same condition that exists there will be
found throughout the West. The farmer
is compelled to sell his products in an over
stocked market for what he can get fol
them, and at the same time pay bounty
to the manufacturer in the form of a tax
on articles he usesor consumes. While tht
country is growing richer the farmer is be
coming poorer and the wealth of the nation
is fast accommodating in the hands of Il few

TT DOES NOT MOVE A PFC.

The solution of the negro problem at the
South-that is to say the negro as voter
at the South-has not moved Il peg in TWEEN
tytive years. A careful perusal Of the
long debate on the Force Bill in the Senate
shows this. Two extracts which we give
below from that debate show that the
whole matter stands where it stood when
the Republicans first began to experiment
with it. One is from u sketch of a speech
against the bill by Senator Stewart rep.
of Nevada. He said
Whatever was done in this matter of pro-
tecting suffrage at the South, unless it was
done through the voluntary action of the peo-
pie of that section, would have to result in
one OF two things: Ii the negroes were pro-
| tected by force, the same force would newt
ably be driven to the necessity of destroying
the enemy That involved the enslavement
and final determination Of the whites"
There it is exactly! Nobody is prepared
to exterminate> the whites in order to lei
the negros hold political power.
The next is an interruption made by Sci
ator Eustis DEM of Louisiana, to Mr..
Dolph of Oregon. Mr.. Dolph was denounc
ing the suppression of the negro vote in th'
Southern States, when this occurred
Mr.. Eustis said he would put a question IL.
the Senator from Oregon, and would ask ID
frank answer to it. The question was whether
if the immigration of Chinese had not been
prohibited; if there were a million and hall
Cinnamon in Oregon who had the right Of sui
frage, and who established in Oregon a Chi
nese State government, and if the people Oi
Oregon had overthrOwn that Chinese govern
ment and had re-esta blshed white poiitica
supremacy, would he (Mr. Dolph) in such d
case advocate the passage of a law by Congress,
the intent and effect of which would be to ell
courage, to stimulate and to sustain those
Cinnamon in their efforts to recover political
power on race lines?
Mr.. D0lph said that that was precisely the
argument made on the Democratic side of the
chamber.
MI Eustis-Will the Senator answer my
question?
Mr.. Dolph.-I am not going to be inter
runted.
I'nere it is again exactly! No man is
prepared to say that he is willing to do ii,
his own State what he is demanding thai
the people of the eN-slave States shall do il
their States.
The whole question is just whereit stood.
Neither laws, nor bayonets can solve ii

A Remarkable Case.
fF'rom a Washington Exchange.

For the past ten days there has been in
Washington, on business before Congress. a
man who has had most dangerous and pecu-

man is Col. James f. Wilson, OF Virginia, but

FRIDAY MORNING. Jan. 9, 1891
4 STILL HIGHER ACTIVITY
OPEN WITH THE SPRING.

Il STILL HIGHER ACTIVITY ~
OPEN WITH THE SPRING.
The feeling animates every mind that
Virginia will enter with the opening of
Spring, ON career of activity to which that
of the past year will not compare. Every
thing is being made ready for it. Virgin
ians will essay to lead the other Southern
States in the race, and in this Valley there
is cons iderable ambition to lead the rest
of the State.
This Valley has good ground for enter
tanning this ambition. Since January,
1890, miracles have been performed here by
enterprise and capital. and this year Of
1891. is expected to DO better yet, for the
ores and woods of this section have just
begun to be made known to the world.
Why shouldn't the South headed by the
Old Dominion double its work Of last year.:
What is there to hinder it
In ten years the Southern States have III
creased their population by 100000, OF
whom 1000 are from the Northern por-
ton of the Union. And. note it, that this
475.OOG is Just double the number of North
ern men who were living in the South in
1880.
Its actual wealth has increased in ten
years $500 0o0,o0o.
It's banking capital has increased 49,
100000.
The new capital invested here in the tel
years has been 81 ,339, 10000.
Twenty two thousand miles Of railroad
have been built.
The capital invested i'll manufactures
has increased 1872 100000.
Her farm products have increased ovel
$500, 000, 900.
The value of mineral products has in
creased s32,00O,O0O.
This is part only of the general advance
in the South in the last ten years. If tin
figures for the years 1888, 1889 and 1885,
could be separated from the aggregate O
the decade and printed by themselves, th'
showing especially ill Virginia in those
years would be marvellous.
Nor must this be attributed solely tt
'sbooming, - word with which the timii
connect eyanescence. Take the city o
Richmond, in this State, for example. i
has not had boom nor even rumors O
booms connected with it, but for all tina
the Dispotch's annual 1st of January tab
ular statement shows that since 1885 tn
taxable property there has increase,
Sl5,7 ,316, over three million dollars
year! The Times Of the same city in its Is
of January tabular statement shows in TIL
matter Of manufactures. that there al
$4,0G0,000 more capital, go more establish
ments and 1900 more workmen in Rich
mond manufactures than there were il
1889. The forging ahead Of Virginia an,
the rest of the South is no boom. 1t is no
expected to end. 1t cannot end: the force
behind it are too great.
And that being SO, what is the field opel
for it to fill up? The field is just as larg
as the capacity to support population. L
