political leaders, but the sturdy
son of the mountains was too in
! telligeht to take such advice. He
withdrew his pick from the glisten-
ing veins of silver and welded it
in the veins of gold. AS result,
the yellow metal has fguratively

These leaders were not idiots.
They were men of intelligence but
barren of conscience. Politics was
profession with them and there
was no honor in the profession. 1t
would be an insult to many of the
men who led the people into strange
paths to say that they did not
realize that they were doing wrong.
They knew it-but anything that
padded their purses could not affect
consciences calloused by misdeeds.
Today there is a different sent
iment in the state. The people
are pot all Republicans. They are
not all Democrats. But they are
all Coloradans today and all Amer
leans. We do not hear any more
from the people that Colorado
should secede from the union, or
that every man in the East is a
thief The people begin to
acknowledge that the prejutlicfaI
sentiment that grew out of the
fertile brains of the leaders wns foo
often for purpose--and that
purpose was to perpetuate these
leaders in power at the expense of
the honor of the state.
There is not city, town or
county in the state of Colorado to-
day that did not furnish abundant
evidence of prosperity during the
year just passed. The grand totals
for the state are the best evidence
Of this fact.-Denver Times.

PROSPERITY IN COLORADO.

During the year 1898 the voice
of calamity grew faint in Colorado,
1t was difficult for few of the
orators and street corner statesmen
to drop the vocabulary made prom
inent by the election aud admins
tration of Ex-Governor Davis Fl.
Waite, They could not call we'll

of Republican made tramps" nor
could they parade that threadbare
Populist expression: "The rich
are growing richer and the poor
poorer" The day of blood to the
brides" reputation, confiscation
and all its attendant evils has seen
its sunset in the Centennial state.
There has been a pronounced
change in the politics of the peo-
pie. To a great extent this change
has come about as result of the
Vaccinations and peculations of
the parties born in the throes
brought on by the visitation of the
calamity panic. Instead of honor
ing the curious pledges the political
curios made to the people they
dishonored them. Prosperity was
promised but it did not come until
the machinery of Republican
national administration sent it
across the prafries to the mount
aims. AS an illustration of the fads
and fallacies and foolishness of the
past it is only necessary to state
that the leaders of the hosts of
calamity advised the miners to alb
jure allegiance to toll in the mines
when panic times came, and through
dire need force the people "who
had impoverished them to care for
them" This was the wall of the

The rapidly forming trusts are
the greatest menace in existence TO
the liberties of the American peo-
pie. When the last industry of
the nation is organized in cooper
alton against free competition, and
that disaster seems not far distant,
the freedom of the citizen will be
seriously curtailed. With startling
rapidity the day is approaching
when a few marvelously rich men,
like John D. Rockefeller, will rule
and all the rest of the American
people will practically be servants.
The day of the small proprietor has
almost passed; soon all the fnde-
pendent middle class must join the
ranks of those who serve. If effec-
tive steps are not speedily adopted
to avert the throttling of the prin-
ciple of free competition the great
est and most overbearing plutocracy
the world has ever known will reign
over the people and shape the des-
TIMES of the United States. What
more is necessary to arouse the
people of this country to realiza-
tion of their imminent peril9

A tobacco trust is about TO invade
Cuba, buy up all the plantations on
which the best tobacco isgrown and
thus control the product. the
methods of trust are not so rude as
those of the Spanish. but in the end
they will amount practically to the
same as far as the Cuban planter
is concerned.
