SMALL BUSINESS,

1t appears that the wool buyers of the
land and the Republican press have gone
into a combine to keep down the price
of wool. This is SO in New Mexico as
well as at the east. In this territory, for
instance, Republican newspaper in
noting wool sales never states the price
of the product. They know the figures
are steadily advancing, and they are
afraid the producers will find it out. That
would hurt the buyers and knock the
props from under the claim of the Re-
publican organs that Democratic tariff
reform is solely responsible for the de.
preston the sheep men have suffered
during the period the Mckinley law has
been in force.

to this very resolution. 1t must now
grind Ohio Republicans not little to
come out now and even make bungllng
attempt at straddling the silver problem.
Nothing more clearly shows the Inherent
strength of bimetallism. Speaking OF
Sherman's position the St. Louis Repub-
lie says:
"John Sherman must take the stump
for Embellishments as he hates it and
far as he is from ever consenting to do
anything but kill it.
europe may not be able to agree upon
international bimetallism. We can
agree upon a ratio of free coinage for
ourselves. Ohio has been lately classed
| as an eastern state. When John Sher-
mans friends and pupils there dare not
dodge promise of free coinage, what
must be the temper of the voters in the
south and west?"

and Pueblo at 700 p. M, and arriving at
Kansas City at 5:45 p. M, st. Louis at
6:55 a. M, and Chicago at 800 a. M, with
direct connection over all trunk lines
for New York City, Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington, D. c., and all inter-
mediate points.
This will enabl passengers from Colo
RADIO interior points to make direct
connection with the Missouri Pacific Fast
Mail" at Pueblo, by taking D. & 4. e.,
train No. 4, thereby saving twelve hours

1t is no thanks to Senator John Sher-
using more silver than ever before in its

"THE laws of New Mexico were made by
men who were looking out tor their own
interests, and, in leaving loopholes for
themselves, provided others with the
means of escaping the enforcement of the

in this, hence the plain people had best
look out in selecting men to represent
them in the coming legislative assembly

The Truth Plainly Told.

Democrats received the government
from Republican hands in time to catch
the full effect of thirty years of mlsrule.
Every law that has been factor in pro-
ducing the miserable condition of the
country, save one, is still unrepealed To
undo Republican misrule was the work
voted into the hands of the Democratic
party by disguised people in 1892. If
disguised people in turn vote the Demo
cratic party out of power for not fulfill
ing it's pledges-for leaving things as 1t
found them-it is tie fault of Democratic
traitors. But all the SAINT, the country
will never prosper as long as the special
privileges granted by the Republican
party are maintained, no matter who is
president or what set of men have ma
jorty in congress.-Deming Headlight

Opposed to Everything.

If Delegate Joseph should fail to secure
the passage of the New Mexico statehood
bill, the Republican press of the territory
would be wildly intoxicated with Joy.
The fact is that much of the delay has
already been caused through their treach-
erous opposition to the measure, and as
greatly desired as statehood may be by the
people of this territory if left to vote
of the Republican scribblers it would be
defeated to-day by a majority SO large
that their pretended friendship would be
revealed as q miserable sham. Rather
than lend their assistance to Mr.. Joseph
in q measure, which if accomplished,
would inure to the we'll being of our peo-
pie they crawl into their little political
lairs and snarl at everything which bears
the semblance of Democracy. Statehood
is not question of politics, but policy.
Suppose that New Mexico was admitted
state under Democratic administra-
ton, 1t would argue nothing. True,
federal patronage might fall to the lot of
the dominant party for time, but only
for brief time if the sentiment of the
people should oppose 1t. Since that is
true, why is it that the Republican p arty
of the territory SO bitterly opposes the
matter of admission? The whole matter
seems to hinge upon the fact that they
are opposed to everything, good, bad,
and Indifferent, that the Democracy urge
as beneficial and expedient.-Silver City
