BLOOD TO THE HORSES BRI
DIES"

Hon. David II. Waite, ex Governor
of Colorado, who has caused the cor
porations and money changers more
uneasiness than any man of the pres
ent time, has established a weekly re-
form paper at Denver, Colo. 1t is
chock full of good thoughts and terse
sayings on living issues. 1t would be
cheap at 81 per annum, but the price
is so cts. The Governor is a broad,
liberal thinker; he delves deeply and
analy yes closely he is such a f~orceful
writer that even those who differ with
him delight to read his paper. He
closed one of his recent speeches with
the following significant paragraph:
"Our weapons are arguments and the
ballot-a free ballot and a fair count.
But if the money power shall attempt
to sustain it's usurpation by the strong
hand we will meet that issue when it
is forced upon us; for it is better, in
fnitely better that blood should flow
to the horses brides, rather than our
national liberties should be destroyed "
Every progressive thinker should send
so cts to Our National Crisis" Den,
