COLORADO REDEEMED.
THE POPULLSTS WOULD KEEP
MONEY OUT OF THE STATE.
Two Hundred Mortgage Sales a
Day in Denver.

For years Denver has shipped annu-
ally millions upon millions of dollars to
the east to pay interest. We are glad to
say this sort of thing is rapidly coming to
an end-but little interest money is going
out Of Denver now.
Eastern mortgage owners are scooping
in Denver property under foreclosure at
the rate of 200 sales per day. Being own
ers of the property now our eastern
friends will have lots of fun trying to ship
their profits on their holdings out of Den
yer.
Colorado is redeemed!
Bang the tom toni! Whang the Jump
augh!!!-Denver Road.
And they have no year Of redemption
of mortgages as we have here-title
passes almost Immediately.
Not long since we quoted the following
from the Coming Nation:
II am so glad to see that Colorado has
been redeemed In Dun's daily report
are long lists of the names Of merchants
and firms with assigned 'chattel mort
gage fled mortgage in possession at
gage fled mortgage in possession at
bankers redeemed it. / notice many Of
my Ulu are uIOpp1uS lAIO
the vortex of ruin daily. They stuck up
their noses at my advice four years ago.
l wonder how they like their condition
now? Let 'em drop--the more the bet
ter 1t will teach them a lesson they
need"
And we added this comment:
"Do you remember, friends, the bowls
of the old party papers, just before the
last election, about the Populists running
Colorado, and that Republican victory
would redeem it? All, what howl it
was! Preconcerted, unanimous, over
whelming. 1t scared lots of our
men away from us at the last moment.
Read the foregoing and see the kind of
good times the G. o. p. victory has be-
slowed on Colorado"
The Denver Road copied this and pro-
ceeded to show the kind of redemption
with which Colorado has been blessed
since the defeat of the populists
Mr.. Business Man! listen.
We want to talk to YOU.
Every election the banks and their SUBJ
sidized papers get after you and threaten
you with all sorts of misfortunes should
you fail to support their corporation NOM

elections are over you are no nearer loan
than you were before election. Run your
eye up Sixteenth street and figure up how
many business concerns are now owned
and operated by the banks. Try to real
ize if you can what sorry figure you cut
with your little capital pitted against Moi
fats or KOuntZ's millions in competitive
fight for business.
How do you like the manner in which
these rich banks are forcing you out OF
business?
YOU are the people who have made
these bankers rich by paying to them
enormous interest upon loans. YOU have
made them powerful by surrendering your
own independence in all public and politi-
cal affairs and blindly following the die
tates of these bankers.
What has been the result-the effect on
your business?
Let us see!
A few months ago, for instance, the Col
orado National Bank gobbled up stock
of goods worth 100000 at the very least
for about $4,000. and then went into
competition with nearly every merchant
| in town by conducting great department
store.
Eastern creditors were frozen out OF
claims aggregating 100000, thus damag-
ing the credit Of all our merchants who are
compelled to buy goods on time, and the
outrage and subsequent dishonOr is very
deity sawed off into "Populist misrule,
"Waiteism, and everything else except
the true reason.
M. J. Mcnamara was frozen out of his
interest in the dry goods business
amounting to something like 100000 and
80 wears of honorable told and now nearly
every merchant in the city is compelled to
contend against the enormous resources
of the richest bank in the west, in. order
to exist.
The Denver Dry Goods Company is a
department store for you with a VEN
geance.
Every person knows what tremendous
profit there is to merchants who have cap
ital enough to pay cash for all goods and
thus get the large discounts allowed by
wholesale merchants. That is where all
the merchant princes of the country have
made their fortunes.
Not content with usurious bank rates
our big bankers are now seeking to pile
up greater fortunes in mercantile fields by
crushing out of existence small merchants
struggling for living. The people should
not patronize hog institution of this
u,
| with or take political advice from banks
which are forcing them out Of business
and out Of the community. Let every in
stitution stick to it's own legitimate bust
ness Denver people should enforce the
rule of civilization: Live and let live. .
The people can do it If they wish to. II
| they do not take hold at once Denver will
| be worse than the Deserted Village about
which Goldsmith wrote 100 years ago
| Hogs should be kept in pens. Will Den
| yer citizens ever arouse themselves to a
little patriotism in these matters?
Prepare yourselves, friends, for another
blizzard of lies, in October, 1896, just like
those that carried you off your feet in DC.
tober and November, 1894.
They told you that Waite and his Pop.
plist followers had ruined Colorado, and
that Ovens election would ruin Mime
sofa; and that nothing would produce
good times in both states but g. o. p
victory. Well, they lied themselves into
victory here and in Colorado: and you
know the kind of prosperity you have hat
here; and the extracts we quote show
what kind they have had in Colorado.
Will you be fooled a second time? We
fear so.
