DOLORES MoNrEzuMA COUNTY, COLORADO FRIDAY JANUARY 1900

From all aristocrats and their
poems come the cries Of prosperity, y"
but look at the situation closely
Railroads are advancing their
freight rates, the necessities of life
are advancing in price, in fact
everything that benefits or is used
by the farmer and laboror is ad-
vancing in price; but has any one
noticed corresponding advance in
wages? OF course there are a few
instances when some big concern
has advanced wages, but such cases
are few and are heraled to the read
ers of the Republican press with
fiaring headlines, but, candidly.
have the wages of the vast majority
OF laborers advanced, or have the
advances made been in keeping
with the increased price on life's
necessitles! They certainly have
not and the prosperity that exists
is not for the man who supports
his family by honest toll, but goes
to the trusts, railroad companies
and the wealthy. The poor man
gets init" and will continue to do
so as long as he does not think for
himself and let the wool be pulled
over his eyes. Keep account of
the number of advances made in
wages, the amount and compare
them with the advanced price on
what you eat and wear and note
who is benefited.

FAR REACHING PLANS or TIE
FINANCIAL TRUST.

The ulterior objects Of the finan-
cial trust, according to inside i'll
formation, are of startling char
acter. 1t is said that what has
thus far been done by the secretary
of the treasury, the visible execu-
tive officer of the trust, is only pre-
liminary work. The main object,
which will not be attained until
after the approaching national cleo
ton, is the creation of financial
institution in New York which IS
to handle all the government funds.
All the revenues of the government
will go on deposit in that one BAT k,
and all the disbursements of gov
ernment funds will be made by it.
This bank will therefore become,
i'll fact the national treasury, and
have all of the government funds at
its disposal, only subject to orders
for disbursement.
This, however, is only one part
of the plan. All Of the national
banks throughout the country will
be organized as branches OF the big
bank, from which they will receive
their funds and where the profits
will be concentrated. The paper
currency will be issued by the one
big institution in accordance with
the reserves held by it and its
branches The government will be
permitted to coin gold and subsi-
diary silver coins, but the paper
issue will be exclusively in the
hands OF the bank. Thus the fin
ancial trust will control the wheels
of trade, commcrce and industry at
will; it will be the the central, all
powerful trust of the country, With
everything, government included,
subordinate TO it. This is the plan
to be consummated, and the people
are expected to support ii by their
votes next full by electing the
ticket which will be put i'll the field
by the financial rust.-Denver
Post.

NO BOXING IN IOWA.
Proposed New Law VIII Stop Even
the Short Bouts

DES MONIES, Feb. 5.-All kinds of
prize fighting, or so-called boxing con-
tests where money Is at stake, or where
an admission fee is charged, will be pro-
hibited by the Iowa legislature A bill
Is now being perfected by the judiciary
committee of the senate which will GER
tainly put a stop to all future exhibit
tiens of this kind.
The frequent occurrence of third-c,ass
prize fights In Iowa during the past two
years has called attention to the need Of
new law on the subject. Gov Shaw in
his last biennial message said:
There Is at present statute prohib-
iting what are called prize fights but
the language employed is not sufficiently
comprehensive to be effective. In order
to be brought under the purview of the
lnmolt1on the contest must be for prize.
and the winner must receive more than
the loser, else there is no prize.
In practice the law Is evaded by des-
ignating the fight as a contest of a limited
number of rounds (no matter how many.
and written contract that the particf-
pants shall receive equal or stimulated
sums In no manner made to depend upon
the results. Then the actual terms are
arranged on the side. The statute should
forbid contests where physical injury,
pain or exhaustion is mauifestly involved
brutal practice be either effectively sup
pressed on Iowa soil or that the present
inefficient statute be repealed. OF course,

that it was without a doubt the best

ten permission for the specific purpose
shall first have been obtained from the
sheriff of the county, or If the exercises
or exhibition are had within the limits
of municipal corporation, then from the
mayor of such corporation.
1t was claimed that this bill would not
prevent so-called boxing and sparring ex-
hibitions, but would, on the contrary, ON
power the sheriffs and mayors to license
them. Members of the legislature thought
that the sheriffs and mayors were not to
be trusted in this matter and that the
law should be so framed as to absolutely
prohibit all such exhibitions
The matter was referred to subcom-
mtttee, of which Senator Finch, of Hum
boldt Is chairman. and he prepared a
substitute. This will be reported by the
committee and doubtless passed by the
senate. This bill shuts out legalizsd box
ing contests of any kind whatever for the
purpose of making money or to award a
prize to anyone.
