enterprises and interferes in a
greater or less degree with those
already established, The Ameri-
can people are nation of politi-
clans. They like the excitement
of the game.
1t is bat six months until anoth-
er campaign will be on, and in the
meantime it will be profitable for
every citizen regardless of political
belief to earnestly consider how
he may best promote his own inter
ests by sincere effort to promote
the general welfare.
The financial condition of the
nation at large, and the CONNER
cial reports of those agencies that
make their business to know, show
that the spring and summer of
this year ought to be seasons of
general activity and prosperity in
Denver and Colorado.
Our mines have never done so
we'll, while new and valuable dis
coveries are of almost daily occur
renee. The Unprecedented pre-
cipitation of snow insures the most
bountiful crops in the history of
the state. This being true it is
difficult to understand why our
people may not declare the panic
off aud take up the thread of
prosperity where it was broken
seven years ago.
To insure prosperous times in
the older states the people only
have to know that there is to be
good crops. That one thing is
sufficient to give confidence to the
farmer, banker, merchant aud me-
chanic. Colorado does not hsye
to depend on its agricultural re
sources, although they are as great
by the per capita test rs those
of any other state. When, there
fore, we see not only the farms,
but the mines and live stock in
terests all riding at high tide, it is
reasonable to say that most
prosperous era is at hand. Let us
all pull together for revival of
business.-Denver Republican.

THE WEST IN THE WAR.

The West has peculiar interest
in the war now being waged in the
Philippines, says the Kansas Civ
journal. The army fighting under
General Oils is almost exclusively
Western. Every volunteer regi-
m11t, with the exception of the
Tenth Pennsylvania and the First
Tennessee, was recruited west oil
the Mississippi river, Kansas.
Colorado, Utah, Montana. Idaho.
Wyoming, Washington, Ofegon.
Nebraska, Minnesota, North Da-
kota and California each had a
regiment or part of Il regiment in
the lighting which has been going
on about Manila. Not only this.
but the commanding general and
all the brigadiers are thoroughgo-
ing Westerners. Major-general
Otis has been iii.the West for more
than thirty years, and the same
may be said for Brigadiers Oven

American country may well be
proud of these hardy Westerners
who are carrying the flag 10000
miles from home.

STILL GAINING GROUND.

The Times has felicitated itself on two
occasions of late on the fact that the
great cause Of free banking IS gaining
strength. We quoted the other day from
the Atlanta Constitution TO show that
that paper had come very near TO COM
hitting itself, IL indeed IL did not actu-
ally commit itself. to the repeal of the
ten per cent. tax on State bank issues.
Now comes the Louisville Courier-Journal
with an. article on the same line. After
calling attention to the fact that although
money has been scarce and high in New
York there is an enormous surplus in the
government vaults. which under our
wretched system has been drawn from the
channels Of trade without any adequate
means of turning it back again. the Cour-
ier-Journal says:
If only a small part of the nearly $780,,
OOOOO0 piled up useless in the Treasury
were liberated there would be relief every
where. II the 100000 that has been
swallowed up by the Sub-treasury be-
tween June LIST and October 1st were
available there would be no more squeezes
The money might as well be in Kam-
schatka as In the Treasury for all the
effect IL is having upon the money mar
ket. The way to stop this shocking
waste Of capital is for the Government
TO go out of the banking business and
throw upon the banks the necessity Of
supplying the currency wants of the
people.
That's the doctrine. Let the govern
ment get out of the banking business and
throw upon the banks of the country not
the national banks alone but the State
banks also, the responsibility Of supply
ing currency and there will. as surely as
the logic of the laws of trade. be at all
times a prompt response to the legitimate
demands for money. This is good bust
ness principle and good Democracy. Gov
eminent interference with business is Re
publican doctrine, not Democratic doc
trine. "The least governed people are the
