From starr Correspondent I,
GARLAND, Colo, Oct. 23.-one Of the
most important industries of Colorado
that during the past three years has ad-
yanced with rapid strides, Is the Guilt
walton of the sugar beet In several, To-
cait!cs where. the soil Is peculiarly
adapted to the growth OF that plant.
In othero county y new town called
sugar City" has just, sprung into, ex-
istence. and large capital Is now profit
ably employed In operating sugar fac
tories there. 1t is safe to say that 9th
Gro county will return a Republican
majority OF large dimensions for Nc
Klnley and Protection, for without the
benaNccnt laws enacted by u Republican
Congress all the capitalists and laborers
now engaged in converting many. thou
sands of tons of beets grown in that
vicinity Into pure white granulated
sugar. would like othero. find their &C.
cupa,ion gone" II the Ding!cy tariff
law had never been enacted there would
be no Sugar City" In Colorado to-day.
Difficult Issue.
While It Is difficult to forecast the re.
suit OF the national. state and leSisla-
tive tickets at the approaching election,
II is absolutely certain that the fusion
vote will be enormously reduced and
indeed there is lighting chance to
wholly overcome the great majority of
$4,000 by which Bryan carried this
state in 1896 and thereby swing Colora-
do fairly into the Republican column,
where by reason of her great natural re-
sources she properly belongs. The great
tidal wave of silver that engulfed the
state in 1896 has gradually receded, but
in the mountain vicinity there remains
stagnant pools which time has not yet
wholly evapuratGd.
In fact it is only In some Of the min
Ing camps and among 4 class of voters
whose daily occupations give them only
sufficient leisure to read the dclusive
puUlLSIlGu iNObhy
tain News and other Democratic papers
which are more attached to the political
fortunes OF Hon. Tom Patterson and
Governor Thomas. than they are to the
welfare Of the people, that the silver
craze still survives
To Destroy Gold Standard.
II is the vain hope OF destroying the
gold standard and substituting 16 to
legislation that alone prevents this glo-
rious state from assuming q position in
full accord with the principles of the
Republican party. The leaders are in
telligrnt men and no doubt fully realize
The imposslblity of accomplishing such
4 disastrous change In our financial
system, but having deceived and de-
luded the people in the last national
campaign they still rely on this ex-
ploded issue 10 achieve their political
ends and promote their personal ambi-
lions.
It remains with the voters OF the east
ard middle west to decide whether this
pale corpse OF silver shall be galvanized
into renewed life to infect the body
polite with the germs of disease or
whether we shall continue to measure
the value of all property in the stand
ard money Of the world.
Paint a Word Picture.
wish could paint?l worl picture for
your readers that would conway to them
an adequate conception OF the unsur-
passed beauty and attractivcness Of the
San Luis valley at this season of the
year. Imagine n broad plateau 12j
miles in length. covering the counties OF
Saguache and Costilla. through the cen
ter OF which as straight as an arrow
stretches the glistcning steel rails OF the
Denver K Rio Grandc narrow gauge
road. On the east towers the magnin.
cent Sangre-dc- Christie range, the mos,
picturesque Of all the mountains of Col.
orado. which are now yielding up thcil
treasures of gold, silver, copper, lead
and Iron, and under which are buried
greater mineral wealth than would pay
the national debt OF England. Here al
Garland we arc almost under thu
shadow OF the giant Sierra Blanche
whose snow crowned summit rises 1900
feet above the level of the sea. and or
whose rugged and rock ribbed sides ar,
heard the deep detonations OF the
miners blasts rs they industriously serl
to wrest the precious metals from old
Blanche's tenacious group.
