Colorado IL a Gold State,

Coloradoans have noted that nature
in regulating the output of the two
metals, works independently of poll
ticians or financial manipulators. From
a silver state, in the early nineties,
Colorado was soon transformed into g.
gold-mining state. When silver was
at a low ebb the gold camp of Cripple
Creek began to loom up. In 1891 the
gold product of this great district was
only $200,000; in 1893 it had risen to
$2,400000. In 1896, when the silver
miners were Trying loudly for govern
ment aid and Organism was rampant
1t yielded S8,O00,000. Last yea it pro-
duced $20,2?3,514, and this years output
will come close to $30,0OO,0O0. When it
is remembered that the total silver
product of the whole State of Colorado
last year was Only $13,771, 7S1, the great
change in mining conditions as we'll as
their natural import at once become

DO You Want Them to Returns

The accommodations of the city hall
are over taxed. There must be place
for the overflow, and yesterday In

discovered it. He proposes to make
use CT the Panorama building, on Wa

believes the place could be readily ad-
apted for such purpose and be heated
at little cost.
If not this place, some other must be
secured, or the morning sun will dis
cover dead men upon the bleak stairs.
Without retreat for the night, the
unemployed as well are confronted

s'BRYASls' CLAUSES In CONTRACTS,
Manufacturers Are Preparing ia
Protect Themselves.

G
Protect Themselves.
Manufacturers and their immediate
customers are beginning to get them-
selves in shape for the dull times that
they know would ensue in the event Of
the election of Mr.. Bryan. Reports
from all over the country indicate that
"Bryan" clauses are soon to be the
rule in signing new contracts. The
latest is contract entered into he-
tween the New Haven Carriage COM
pany and the J. Curley company Of
Brooklyn. The contract specifies that
the New Haven company shall furnish
the Curley company with certain
number Of carriages at a certain price
until Nov. Is, 1901. With the contract
received by the Curley company was
the following letter from the New
Haven company:
I'VE enclose herein agreements sign-
ed. You will notice that we have made
an Endorsement at the bottom. VIII
you please indorse this yourself? 1t is
just as good policy for you to indorse
1t as it Is for us, for you do not wish to
be bound down by anything in case of
such adverse circumstances as would
occur in the event Of Bryan's election"
The Endorsement reads:
"This agreement to be null and void
In case William J. Bryan is elected
president of the United States in No
vember, 1900."
Other large concerns are indorslng
important contracts in this way, their
managers we'll knowing that long
season of business depression would
follow the success of the Democratic
ticket. A large Philadelphia dry goods
| house in placing contracts abroad in
| sists that the contracts be similarly in
dorsed.
The business men know what four
years of Bryanism would mean to
them, and the working people are
equally aware of the fact. If these
classes are not prosperous they will be
| unable to consume as much of the
| products of the farm as they would in
the event of Republican success, and
| the farmer knows the value Of having
an era Of prosperity among those who
eat and wear his products.

II do not know of any stronger ap-
peal that can be made for Republican
votes than a recital Of the last four
years, as compared with the previous
four years. Boiled down the issues are
McKinleyism and Bryanism. Boiled
down it Is free silver and free trade on
Bryan's side and prosperity and devel-
opment on ours. Out West the argu-
ment of imperialism is played out.
Mr.. Bryan will not talk free silver in
the Empire State unless you force him
to, and I want you to force him to. I
have frequently expressed publicly that
the Republicans in this state and
country are feeling too sanguine as to
the result The Republican national
committee does not take any chances.
The issues in this campaign are greater
than in any other. A defeat would put
us ten years behind.

favorable freight and steamship rates
having been obtained. The farmers Of
the Northwest are thus assured Of re-
ceiving direct benefit from the trade
expansion on the Pacific ocean. The
exports of flour to China, Japan and
the Philippines may be said to be only
fairly started. The most recent report
of Consul Wildman at Hongkong, says
that American -four is being shipped
to the interior Of China, something
that was unknown few years ago,
The seacoast cities formerly absorbed
all Of the flour that was exported.
It appears that the farmers of the
West and Northwest will soon be ben
ef1tted directly by this new departure
of trade, just as the cotton raisers Of
the South find their most promising
market in the Orient.

Judging by the results of the polls
taken in the big office buildings in
Chicago an immense vote will be piled
up for Mckinley and Roosevelt in the
Republican wards of the city. That
this will be true has become evident
by the result of the poll in Marshall
Field & Co.'s big store, in the Mar
quette building, where the vote is five
to one, and in the Nonadnock building,
where it is six to one in favor Of the
administration. The Rookery, one Of
the largest office buildings, shows a
still larger Mckinley percentage, the
ration being nine to one. The vote Of
the Rookery in detail is as follows:
