THE TARIFF ON SUGAR.

Everybody knows that Shafroth and
Bell are no more friendly to the sugar
tariff and no more strenuously oppos-
ed to reciprocity with Cuba than
Bonynge and Hogg. What then can
be gained by electing them in place
of the Republican candidates to con
gress?
To try to save the sugar tariff by
electing Democrats should he like
jumping from the frying pan into the
fire. The most that any Republican
in the East proposes to do is to re-
duce the tariff on raw sugar imported
from Cuba. But we know that if the
Democrats get control of congress
they will let in not only Cuban sugar
but that of Germany, France and the
Philippines as well.
The Republican party is the author
and the friend of the protective tariff
The Democratic party is it's sworn
enemy. If the Democrats get into
power they will revise the tariff. Ii
Teller, Adams, Shafroth and Bell are
sent TO Washington they will vote for
revision, and then it will be impossi
Bile for them to save the sugar tariff
whether they wish to do so or not
1t would be folly to send these men to
congress with an idea of saving the
tariff on sugar.
Mr.. Bonynges word is as good as
Mr.. Shafroth, and Mr.. Hogg is as
worthy of confidence as Judge Bell
The people can trust these Republi
cans to vote against reducing the tar
iff on Cuban sugar as well as they
can trust the Democrats: and the
two Republicans would count for more
because they would belong to the ma
jority. in case the Republicans con
troll the next congress. On the Other
hand, if the Democrats control the
next congress, both Shafroth and Bel
will vote for tariff revision, and the
sugar tariff will go with the rest.
Senator Teller has already declared
that he would agree to reduction o
20 per cent in the tariff on CupaI
sugar If the Republicans would agree
to like reduction in the tariff OF
iron and steel. He is willing to cui
the tariff on sugar, a Colorado pro
duct provided the tariff on iron ant
steel, also Colorado products, is cut
Is this the kind OF defender the in
dustries of Colorado need ?-Denvel

yesterday. "In the News of Friday
he had what purported to be an ac-
count of meeting at Montrose,
which he said was attended by all
the Pupulists, including the Populist

Now there aren't any Populist Office

and the Populists there inform me
that the Democratic attempt to hold
a meeting was frost, and that all
the Populists are in line for their

TELLER COUNTY.

1t is not at all improbable that Tel
Ter county will give Republican ma
jority on November 4th The indica-
tions point very strongly that way
When the Republicans can hold a
meeting in Victor, the Democratic
stronghold of the county. and have an
audience OF 900 people who enthusias-
tically cheer the sentiments express
ed; when the men and women of Vic
tor think enough of their party and
its principles to parade through the
streets in its behalf, 1t will be seen
that the confidence expressed by
prominent Republicans of carrying
Teller county for the party has not
been without reasonable foundation.
There has never been any doubt of
carrying Cripple Creek by much
larger majority than last year and this
will be swelled by smaller precincts in
the county. The reduced majority in
Victor therefore is likely to be more
than offset by Republican pluralities
in other towns. 1t is a gratifying
condition of things. II indicates that
the banner Democratic county of the
state is going to be from this time for
ward Republican county. and that
it will join its sister, El Paso. in
standing for the honor. progress and
prosperity of Colorado Colorado

HONEST jim cARLILE."

The entire stock in trade of Jim"
Carlile, Democratic candidate for state
treasurer, consists in the allegation
that while he was state treasurer in
the early nineties he introduced the
custom of covering back into the
treasury the interest on all the pub
lie funds. For this reason all his
reckless of the fate that has too often
befallen self-lauded honesty and re-
gardless of Honest Jim's" Democratic
ring in Pueblo, which has literally de-
moralized the people of that city and
made sure of Republican success
there.
1t might be worth while to inquire
how Honest jim" could have done
otherwise than turn over the interest
on the public money which came into
his hands. On January 13, 1891, a Re
publican legislature passed law
which received the signature of a
Republican governor Routt, not only
requiring that the interest on all pub
lie funds be turned back into the state
treasury, but thoughtfully affixing
thereto penalty for the non-perform-
ance of that duty.
So it may reasonably be asked how
could Honest Jim" do otherwise than
he did. The law left him without an
option. and not only Jim" Carlile
but every other treasurer who has
since occupied the office has been
forced to do precisely the same thing
Honest JIM" however, is the only
