a|d Settler Mine
Is Abandoned

A meeting of the stockholders
of the Violet Mining Company
was held in Wuodmen hall Satur-
day night at which Mr.. Houck,
president, Fred PetteYs, acting
secretary, Mr.. Kelley, director,
and about 10 of the stockholders
were present ard a pretty stormy
meeting it proved. This is q
company that the money used
about SO, 000-was put u by men
of this county-Elbert alone pay
ing in nearly $4,000 and Eliza
beth IL. 900. The money is all
gone, work discontinued on the
Old Settler mine at Idaho Springs
and tho lease thrown up.
Many of the stockholders are
sore because of the glowing repre-
sentations made, obtaining their
confidence and money, when the
actual facts did not warrant any
such representations. Their con-
6dence in mining promoters is
badly shaken and some of them
are inclined to think the whole
thing was a fake of the first
water. SO, 900 in spot cash out
of two towns the size of Elbert
and Elizabeth is a pretty bad slam,
to say the least, and the DISPOSE
ton Of many of the stockholders
is to prosecute the instigators If
they can do so. They are now
investigating the scheme from
first 10 last and when all informa-
tien is obtained will decide what
to do.

The grove on F, S. Ramey's
ranch, half mile south of Pros
perity Ridge church, has been
neatly cleaned and all the under
brush cleared out, so in the future
picnics in that neighborhood will
be held there. Antelope creek
runs near by and it is a level,
grassy, shady spot that will be a
delightful place for outdoor gath

BUSINESS OR IDLENESSs

The thoughtful voter will dis
tingulsh between the transient
an1 the permanent differences be
tween the Republicans and Demo
cratic parties. Each campaign
brings TO the front some tempo
rary questions OF expedlency,
which are intended to blind the
eyes of the thoughtless and at.
tract the floating vote.
''Tippecanoe and Tyler too won
more votes than logical argument.
"Fifty- four forty or fight aroused
the whole country and not few
would have preferred the fight TO
the fifty four forty. And ''16 to
1" drives sound money Democrats
into the Republican party and
Silver Republicans into the Dem
ocratlc ranks.
However, back OF all these
campaign cries. deeper than the
money question, more important
than the subject of imperialism,
more vital to the future welfare
of the nation than milltarism is
the radical difference between the
two great historical parties on the
tariff question. 1t is not ques-
ton Of protection and free trade.
No party advocates and no gov
ernment practices absolute free
trade. The Democratic party
has, however, for years advocat
ed in its platforms the we'll -defin-
ed policy of "a tariff for revenue
only" refusing to recognize as
democratic the wisdom, justice or
propriety Of atlordlng either pro
lection to American labor or A
merican capital invested In Amer
lean industries.
The avowed Republican policy
often reiterated in national plat
forms and enacted into law, as is
evidenced by the Mckinley and
the Dlngley tariff bills, openly af
firms that the Republicans favor
protective tariff that will encour-
age the investment Of American
capital in manufacturing enter
prises and insure to American la
Dor, both native and naturalized
the advantage Of Il fair days wa
ges for fair DAVIS work.
Both of these plans have been
tried within the memory of most
of those who will cast their votes
next November.
The Wilson -Gorman tariff bill
and the effects thereof were Dem
ocratic. The Dinglcy bill and its
results are Republican. The Ell
tects produced by these two meas
ures should be carefully weighed
by every voter who desires his
ballot TO influence national pros
perlty and personal advantage.
Under the operation of the Will
SON German revenue tanll, the IN
come of the government was not
sufficient to pay current eXpens-
es. The tariff Tor revenue only
did not produce the revenue.
Government bonds We're sold in

at the polls, Cleveland was repu

TILE DOUGLAS SHOE.

The best advertised and consequent
ly the best known shoe in the world
today is undoubtedly made by the w.
l.. Douglas Shoe Co., of Brockton,
Mass. The one idea Of this comrany
has always been to sell a Shoe for
$3.50 which equals in every way the 50
shoes of any other concern. They are
able to do this on account Of there be-
ing no middle mans profit, as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
to the woarer In 60 of the principal
cities of the country they have their
own retail stores. The goods are made
in all sizes and widths. and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Drockton employs
over LOO hands. and all labor trou-
bles are settled by the state board OF
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
is employed, and pay about the best
average wages OF any shoe workers iE
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to $l7,435 per week. This
company makes shoes for men only,
and it is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denvel
