White Peaks and Dark Canons.

White Peaks and Dark CanOns.
Colorado is a land of sharp contrasts,
of brilliant lights, of intense shadows;
land where heights and depths make OBJ
vious the meaning of the word antithesis;
q land where every mood in mind can
find an answering mood in nature. The
high, white minarets of the mountains,
from whose slender pinnacleS float the
wind blown banners of the snow, appeal
with silent eloquence to the lofty aspira-
tions of the soul; the sombre chasms cleft
by Titan forces through granite hearted
hills, within whose depths dark shadows
throng and swirling torrents dash, speak
to the heart language that thrills, in
spires and swes. 1t does not follow that
these glories of white peaks and these
glooms of dark canons preclude the
pleasant intervals, the sunny meadows or
the secluded hooks wherein the tired
mind or wearied body may find peaceful
rest and refuge from turmoil and toll.
To one making Journey in Colorado,
New Mexico or Utah, or taking trans
continental tour from east to west, or
Uice gersa, the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad offers accommodations equal In
elegance, convenience and luxury to
those of any other line with the added
attractions Of the unrivalled scenery
along its line, abounding in magni6-
cent opulence of white peaks and dark
canons. The month of November, 1890,
witnessed one of the most important inn
provements in railroad facilities that has
yet been made in Colorado and the west.
The completion of the standard guage of
the Denver & Rio Grand railroad from
Denver, Colorado, over the mountains to
Ogden, Utah, which five years ago was
deemed an impossibility, is certainly a
triumph of daring and engineering skill.
The new line is by the way of Leadville,
tunneling Tennessee Pass, threading the
canons of the Eagle and Grand rivers,
giving a view of the Mount Of the Holy
Cross, en- rou.e, taking its trains through
Glenwood Springs and down the Grand
river to Grand Junction, thence to Salt
Lake City, Ogden and San Francisco. By
this route one is given an opportunity to
behold the msgnifcence of Eagle river
canon and the marvellous beauty and
grandeur Of the canon of the Grande.
The overland train is a model in every
respect. From the engine to the last
first-class coach everything is bright, new,
and of the most elegant style of work
manshlp and finish.
If any reader desires to know more
about these stupendous works Of nature,
write to S. K. Hooper, General Passenger
Agent, Denver, Colorado, and he will
send you, free Of cost, elegantly illus
trated books, giving full description OF
the marrels of the "Scenic Line. ."1StGR-

FARMER DESIRES A WORD WITH
SENATOR KELLY.


It would be assumption bordering on
foolhardiness for common farmer like
myself to enter into an argument upon
any subject with q recognized scholar,
gifted orator and sharp lawyer like the
Hon. H. B. Kelly, but his letter to the
editor Of THE ADVOCATE given to the
public must be considered open TO dis
cuasion, and as / am wishing more light
on the subject, hope my epistle and
questions will not be considered inoppor-
tune or out OF place. He begins his
argument that money Is substance, not
shadow, nor promise, that gold and silver
are, and always have been, since time out
Of mind, the only money of civilization.
He does seem to ignore the fact that we
to-day recognize four kinds Of paper
notes or certificates as money, and fails
to show why a certificate, based upon
gold, or silver, or bonds, should have any
more substance, or should be less Of a
promise than notes based upon the very
essentials Of life, like land and It's inn
perishable products. Is there more sub
stance In one dollars worth Of gold than
there would be in 80 worth Of land, or
are such nonentlties in human progress
and existence, such luxuries as gold and
silver q better, safer basis for money
than landH The Senator cannot deny
that certificates are preferred to the
metal by everybody. Would 1t make
much difference what they are based
upon, so it be real, useful, tangible,
actually existing property Does he con-
slider 1t just to coin the property Of the
miner, the bullion speculstor, or the
bondholder, into coin or certificates, but
deny such privilege to other far more
useful property For the sake Of argu-
ment admit that gold has always been
the only money Of civilization. What
reason can he advance that 1t always
should remain such?
Up to revolutionary times, the gov
ernment Of the world had been mostly
absolute despotic monarchies. They
were declared sacred by church, sage,
poet and statesman. Even up to date
the larger number Of inhabitants on this
globe cling to the delusion that God
created two classes Of men; one specially
to rule, live in luxury and splendor,
while the other are to work for all,
many being barely able to sustain life,
that the ruling Glasses may reVel 80
much more In excesses. Our fathers,
contrary to the ideas Of the So-called
statesman Of the time, proceeded to found
government upon justice and equality.
Now would he reproach our forefathers
for not waiting till Europe and the rest
Of the world were ready to establish
like form of government? Would, to
break away from q barbarious custom,
concerning gold and the owners there
Of, the control of the realm Of commerce
as he terms 1t, be any greater departure
from usages than the acts OF our fore
fathers, and would we not be liable to be
as successful in coping with the world
in our new undertaking as our fore
fathers were In theirs, possessing now as
we do a powerful government and coun-
tEy. full of boundless resourcesY Is 1t
more just to pay tax, (be It called rent,
interest, dividend or profit, TO King Shy
The advocate., 1891-11-18

the distinction of being used as money
basis, or money as compared to other
more needed commodities? And If gold,
as he admits, has become scarce, that the
increase In commodities has largely ex-
ceeded the supply of gold, is it not both
just and reasonable to look for some
thing to assist In doing the service here
tofore left to gold alone. II farmer
could only do one-half Of his work he
would not advocate that he should leave
the other half undone if help was easy
had. Or, If wheat Is the main bread
stuff Of a certain people, and it runs
short from natural causes, or a few specu-
lators obtain control thereof and hold 1t
at an exorbitant price, he would mot
reason that the people should give all
they had to those spectators, or starve,
rather than to take substitute like corn
or rye, to do the same service, even if
not quite SO good as wheat? Would not
the same logic apply In the case Of gold,
1t having become insufficient for the
needs Of the people, and spectators
hold all and nearly the greater share Of
the peoples property? AS to comparing
the affairs Of Shawnee county, or private
citizens, to those of our general govern
ment, that will not do. Shawnee county
has not the authority to coin money, levy
taxes upon imports, declare war, etc.
The general government has prerogatives
and powers and duties delegated to 1t,
not possessed by individual states or
citizens.
Take President Harrison for instance.
AS private citizen he does not possess
more rights or privileges under the con-
or laws, than the humblest
private citizen; as president, however, he
has prerogatives, powers and duties al
most Of king. One of the duties Of
government is to provide for the general
welfare. 1t alone has power to coin
No forms, or materials are pre-
scrlbed. Gold, silver and bonds have
been coined into certificates, why can't
other commodities be also? Trust deeds,
or warehouses, or even personal mort
cages, would give the government as good
security as gold, silver or bonds are
equal rights to all commodities we might
claim. will not attempt to discuss the
Justice or question motive Of legislation
discussed between DR.. McLallin and
Senator Kelly, but it seems curious logic
to claim that bonds, every one Of which
were bought or exchanged for green
backs, should be paid In something else,
or that the people asked for interest
bearing, longtime promises TO pay in
stead of being satisfied with notes. /
venture to wager that there is not single
petition in Congress signed by wealth
producers who understood the question
asking for the change, and If the people
did not ask for 1t by what right was the
change made? Do a few boards Of trade
or banks control the finances, the life
blood Of commerce OF nRtionY
Does Senator Kelly consider it loyal
to this government to, besides God and
nature, recognize q higher power of
authority, as he.appsrently does, by con-
ceeding to "King Gold" the control and
sovereignty Of the whole commercial
realm of the globe? What sound reasons
