Wolcott's Baca Land Steal


Senator WOlcott's record on the free
range question is one that will haunt
him through this campaign. The ranch
men and cattlemen of northwestern
Colorado are not going to vote for any
man for the Legislature who will assist
by his vote in returning Wolcott to the
Senate. His attempt to smuggle
through bill for the sale Of all the
public lands of Baca county will not
be forgotten. 1t was characteristic of
Wolcott, and an unblushing attempt to
rob the ranchmen and settlers of that
section of the state, to the gain and
benefit of the syndicates he represents.
If the people of Colorado sanction this
action with their votes next November,
the next thing may be bill for the
private sale of all the public lands of
ROutt county for the benefit of some of
the great cattle or sheep syndicates.-

An Unnecessary Tax.

In an official communication to
Chairman Richardson. under date of
August 2, 1900, the Hon. Lyman j.
Gage, secretary of the treasury, says:
1.-The estimated cost of the war with
Spain, including the Philippines, to
June 80, 1900. is as follows:
army, $2S4, 100000; navy, $79,5OO,-
600; miscellaneous, including interest
on war loan and payment of $2O,OOO,'
600 to Spain, $50, 75O,OOO; total $685.
100000.
'"rhe department is unable to sepa-
rate the expenditures made for war
purposes in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines"
The total amount collected from the
people under the special war revenue
act, up to July 1, 1900, is $210,OO0,00O.
The amount of gold in the treasury
is now somewhat in excess of $780,
100000. This is the largest sum of gold
ever accumulated in the United States
treasury and exceeds the total eX-
penses of the war by $35,0O0,0OO, and
this is in gold alone, exclusive of hun
dreds of millions of silver and paper
money which has also accumulated in
the treasury.
Thus it is readily seen that the reg
ular revenues of the government dur
ing the past two years would have
been sufficient to carry on our wars

"The Republicans have not full

What platform Of the Republican

note signed by the government?
And yet the Republican party
. places the bank note first and
pushes the greenback into the

this is just, l think can make
. that so clear in a word that you
. will never make the mistake
again. Whenever a farmer or a

has the money, but the bank is

lnsincere Support of Mckinley

George f. Hoar is not in earnest in
his support of President Mckinley, for
he has in express terms denounced the
Philippine policy Of the administration
as destructive of the republic
Chauncey NJ. Depew is not in earnest,
for he has declared, in phraseology
that cannot be misunderstood or given
a modified meaning, that the acquisi-
ton of the Philippine islands would
be utterly hostile to our system of gov
eminent. Albert J. Beveridge is not
in earnest, for only short time ago he
denounced the Porto Rican policy pur-
sued by the president and congress-

A Policy Of Negation.

The Republican campaign has be-
come a negative proposition. The can
didates and leaders have become sto-
lid agnostics. The rank and file is
hiding behind breastworks of shifting
sand.
Mr.. Hanna says: There are no
trusts"
Mr.. Mckinley says: There is no
such thing as Imperialism"
Mr.. Roosevelt says: Il am not afraid
of militarism, because there isn't any
militarism.'

standard, therefore the gold standard
must not be attacked"

ture to any great extent. and II
you want to see now sOrdid the

remind you that 1t insists on max
ing the money question the ques-

whereas, the question Of human
rights is the question OF para

paign. In 1895, the Republicans
were worrying about the M-cent

something awful and yet to-day
they have given us an eighty-five
! per cent. citizen In Porto Rico,
and they cannot tell us what per

the Philippines. In 1896 they
/ said they could not have a double

want double standard of gov

wolcotts Dream Dispelled.

The roseate visions which have come
to Republicans of the possibility Of
their carrying Colorado have been
rudely dispelled. -
For some time Republican managers
have been indulging in pipe dream
talks of the likelihood of their carry
ing the state. Senator Wolcott and
his henchmen have, however, based
the possibility of success upon the fail
ure of the anti-Republican forces to
bring about fusion.
The possibility has now been elimi-
mated by the completion of fusion
ticket which will have the harmonious
support of all anti Republican forces,
and Wolcott's chance to remain in
public life is gone.-Atlanta Constitu-

Liable to Cause a Smile,

Addressing the American Bankers
association, in annual convention at
Richmond, Mr.. Roberts, the treasurer
of the United States, felicitated his
hearers on the fact that "for two years
our financial problems have related to
the surplus. General prosperity has
given large revenues" In view Of the
fact that $2OO,OOO.OOO of bonds were
sold to meet the expenses of the war
with Spain and that two years after
the close of that brief struggle the war
taxes are still in full force, Mr..
Roberts audience might be pardoned

The Republican national literary bu-
reau is circulating, as refutation Of
the charge that Imperialism and mill
tarism go together, a campaign speech
delivered with exquisite taste by ex-
Senator Henderson in his official ca
pacity as graduation day speaker at
West Point.
General Henderson has compiled a
series of tables designed to show tAnt
the military burden is insigniticantin
the United States compared with fhat
borne by the subjects of the Ymed
monarchies of Europe. These tables,
we are Informed, have been prepared
with great care with the idea Of
having them accurate beyond posA-
bility of dispute" We are also in
formed that in so far as they refer
to foreign countries, the figures have
been drought down to the very latest
date possible"
We have a first table showing the
number of men in the army of each
country and its proportion to popula-
ton. Next we have the area Of each
country, the ratio of soldiers to the
square mile, and of square miles to
soldiers. 1t is all very interesting, but
ought there not be something more!
Yes, and General Henderson has not
forgotten it. We want to know how
much all this costs, and here is his
answer:

THAT FULL DINNER PAIL
A Very Unpopular Issue al
the Deering Harvester Works.


The Full Dinner Pail'' is the most
unpopular issue Of this campaign in
the neighborhood of the Deering Har-
vester works.
The great corporation has just fin
ished paying off its thousands Of work
men for the first two weeks under a
new schedule, and the employees have
discovered that their wages have been
cut, in few cases less than two per
cent. and in many instances as much
as fifty per cent. Not many men, how
ever, have quit work. Many of them
had been laid off during the summer.
OF these, about 800 have been taken
back, and others are being put to work
at the rate of fifty or sixty day.
Whether new hands or old, they come
at the lower scale of piece work. Prac-
tically every department has been af-
fected by the new scale.
Men who had been drawing So day,
which was as high as any reported,
said that under the new regime they
could not earn 50. The 50 day men
said that they were hard taxed to earn
$1.25. Many avowed that they aver
aged less than 81 day, in spite of the
fact that they were skilled workmen
and in good times" had drawn So a
day and $75 or $50 month.-Chicago

Election Of Senators by the People

First-Popular election would make
the senator more truly representative
of the people for whom he speaks. The
Democratic idea of government is that
the representative reflects the senti-
ments of the sovereign people. Sec
ond, if there was no other reason for
the change, a sufficient reason would
be found in the scandals growing out Of
senatorial elections. The charge of di-
rect bribery is made with increasing
frequency, and indirect forms of brib-
ery are even more cOmmOn.-W. J.

in Cuba and the Philippines without
the special war tax, which is thus
shown to have been wholly needless
in the first place, and Il more than
gratuitous burden upon the people
now.
Perhaps the monstrous injustice and
injury inflicted by this tax will be
better understood when it is stated
that the Treasury Department state
ments show that the amount of this
tax collected from the people from
January 1 to July 1, 1900, is $104, OOO.-

sum Of $3.50, 100000 in gold was being

To usurp dominion over peo-

. is to violate that law of nature
which gives every man right

WHAT IT COSTS TO WAGE
WAR in THE PHILIPPINES

cal year 1901 is $114 ,22O,O9555, which
is nearly five times the amount under
the Democratic regime. The cost of
the army in 1896 was only 500, 252,-
COS. The rest of General Manderson's
$51 ,093,927 represents river and har-
Dor and other non-military expendi-
lures.
Thus, even on the Republican sta
tistician's owfAshowing, there are only
three military h<wers in Europe that
spend more on they armies than we
are spending now. Tut that tells less
than half the story All the following
expenditures, pptSided for in our ap-
