Mr.. Allison. and this expression is contra
dicted fatty in an interview Of more than
an hour which had with him.
Mr.. Teller Is one of the most outspoken
men in public life. Whatever he thinks on
any public question he Is not afraid to say.
And as the ex-Vice President, Gov. Nor
ton, said of him in conversation few days
ago, he is quite able to hold his own in
debate
My conversation with Senator Teller was
held for the purposes of newspaper publ
cation. and he authorized the use of it as
it appears here.
WHAT we need" said Senator Teller, els
parity between the two metals, gold and
silver. How that Is to be brought about
except through the adoption of the free
coinage of silver, l do not know Possibly
some one can suggest way. No one has
we nave nothing to expect from this ad-
mlnlstration and nothing from the next
congress. The administration is under the
influence or three or four men in New
York-or possibly two would cover 1t.
could not undertake to name them, but
neither party will name man who will be
satisfactory to the silver states. If neither
of them does, the old parties are going
to disintesrate in Colorado.
1t looks as If the next President would
be republican. And it looks now as
though he would be named by the east
and as though he would be gold man, If
SO. colorado will not vote the republican
ticket. AS for myself, if the republican
party names a gold candidate, I will not
follow it in that folly. / will not stultify
hiyseif py supporting a candidate whose
principles l believe to be opposed to the
pest interests of the country and to the
liberties of the American people 1 should
prefer to resign from the Senate and re-
tire from politics rather than to support a
candidate whose principles l do not APP
of ~
against any candidate representing the gold
interest

asked the Senator if the people of Colo
RADIO were taking a very lively interest il
politics.
They are interested chiefly in making
money, he said. "They are engaged large
ly in developing the gold fields of tie state.
The silver mines are still producing, but
not to the extent, that they did before the
decline in the value of silver. The we'll
developed mines with large reserves of ore
are shipping; the smaller producers are
closed down. But the gold mines of the
state are developing wo.iderfully, and be-
| leve that within a very short time Colo
| RADIO will be producing s25. 100000 year in
| gold. The Cripple Creek camp is the most
remarkable mining camp in the world to-
| uay. was down there for several days
this fall. They claim to be taking out now
million dollars month"
The cost of getting out he gold is
something unprecedented. What would
you say If 1 told you that gold was being
| produced in Colorado today cheaper than
silver? will have letters to lay before the
Senate in December showing that n the
Portland mine they have got out gold at a
cost OF sixteen cents an ounce. and that
they have got it out in quantity at TWEEN
ty-hve cents Silver was never produced
as low as twenty-five cents an ounce,
Ihey are getting out ore worth $1,000 a
ton there right along.
Il think they are taking out about eight
millions year. But the output is in
creasing all the time. And they are put
ting i'll machinery now which will increa So
the yield wonderfully. STATION, who owns
one of the finest properties in the camp,
Will not take out more than a certain
amount month, because he has no use
for the money. In fact he has more
money now than he knows what to do with.
So even in the next year or two the camp
will not be producing probably to its euil
capacity. The gold yield of the entire
world is going.to increase. though. I think
That within five years the production of
| gold will be $3.50, 00o.u0O year"
