THE TRACK ASSOCIATION

In AN interview with ID. Z. Gibson
Saturday a reporter for The Record
found that gentleman very enthusias-
tic over rhe bright outlook for the
Canon Track association. The Asso-
citation was organized in aarch of this
year and incorporated under the laws
of Colorado with capital stoik IF
bers have taken stock representing ~. :
600. Mt $40 shan. So far the people
have entered into the proposition
checrfully, and the committee having
in hand the presentation of the project
are fire in expressing their gratitude
for the hearty support received
The association already has AN ex-
c..llent half-mile track with grand
stand, judges stand, etc. in Hard
ing's addition Twelve hundred dol
lars have been expended upon the track
70 far and great deal morc will be
spent a. time prugresses. until the
speedway Is second to none in the
SKATE. However. it is not the inten-
attractions st the track merely TO horse
r~cing. II is hoped to embody them
with n county fair, in which every re-
sident of the county may take an in
terest. and add such attractions in ad-
dition to the exhibition of fine live
stock, poultry, orchard and farm pro-
ducts, as may be deemed of sufficient
merit to warrant people to come from
n distance and pass several days in the
city.
In this manner it is Hoped to earn
enough from gate receipts to warrant
improvements in buildings, fences.
shade and other essentials in keeping
with first-class fair ground and race
track. A ruling WAS Incorporated at
the outset that intoxicants and pool
sales were to bp barrAd from the
grounds. and it is the determination
to make of the place clean. desirable
resort, where men can take their wives,
and mothers may take their children
in perfect confidence that no foul thing
will he permitted. which will mar
their pleasure or shock their sense of
propricty.
Mr.. Gibson Is a great fsncier of fine
horses himself and he asserts that there
never has been time in the history
of his country when as much attention
was given to light harness horses as
just now. During the last year the
quality of the road horse i'm Canon
City has been wonderfully improved.
Mr.. Gibson thinks the existence of n
track association has been instrument
tai in great measure in bringing this
condition about.
The officers of the Association are
NJ. 5. Bailey. president; d. f. Glib
son, vice president; l.. Y. Kohlmn,
secretary; w. II. Peabody, treasurer.
There is no question that if the
people of Fremont county, rs people
would take hold of the matter in the
proper spirit, they could soon have an
established place of amusement. where
great crowds of visitors from dis
tance could be entertained at inter
walls in a profitable and acceptable way.
The Track Association should receive
the hearty cooperation of the people
at large.

of his fare and fled. They are a
mixed breed. bl ,odhound and fox
hound.
Old Spot has been at the peniten-
tiary for years and is the champion
dry-climate trailer of the world.
He has been known to take trail that
WAS thirty-six hours old and run the
man to earth. About the hest catch
ever made by him WAS this spring.
One Saturday afternoon in March TWO
cons" got away while after wood ON
Cripple mountain, north of the city.
Spot was put on the trail the next
morning tabout twenty hours after the
men had fiedD and at three O'Clock in
II.
Another good job WAS the trailing
of negro at La Junta The negio
Was accused of committing rape upon
the keeper of a boarding house and
some time had elapsed before the
dogs were brought into use. Spot
took the trail at once at the house. fol-
lowed it three miles out in the country
then hack to town and picked the
guilty wretch out of n crowd of sever
al dozen men There was no mistake
about it. for the negro confessed to
save his miserable neck.
When general store WAS burglar
lized at Whitehorn year or 50 ago.
Old Spot was called into service and
in very brief period had establish
ed new record. He followed the
trail all over town after il had been
trsmped by hundreds of feet besides
those of the burglar. finally stopped
al the door of saloon. He asked
for admission in dog language. Once
in side he surveyed the crowd for
AN instant then put his nose against
the leg of each man in turn until he
found the right one. He at once
stood upon his hind legs and placed
his fore paws upon the mans breast
looked him square in the face and
bs,rked.
No other accusation was necessary.
Deputy Warden Burghart says the
most sickening pallor overspread the
mans features at this action of the
dog and confession of the crime
was easily obtained by the officers
when he WAS placed under arrest.
Deputy Warden Burghart is au-
thority for the statement that in a
pack of 100 dogs not more than twen-
ty would work in this climate Southern
bloodhounds. Mr.. Burghart says, are
no good at all here, MS has been DEM
onstrated.
The penitentiary dogs go to the
ranch with the loads of convicts work
ing there every day and have sslu-
tary effect upon the prisoners. The
attempts to escape are at the minimum
now. Besides Old Spo, there are two
pups. Tom and Blue, sircd by Spot.
They promise to be- fully as good as

lamented that the profession does not eN-

The concluding words OF Mr.. Smiths ad-

glass which can be consumed in the United
States, and even more. When the free
trade or revenue tariff statesman comes
to consider window glass with reference TO
tariff schedules. if true to his theory, he
will say: The American glass-maker can
supply the home market easily; consequent
ly. any duty imposed upon window glass
will not afford much if any revenue. but
will add TO the price almost the amount
OF the duty for the home price, thereby
taking the duty from the pockets OF the
consumer and transferring it TO the peck
cts of the manufacturer and his labor;
therefore. window glass must go to the
free list If it should be minated to the
free-trade or revenue-only statesman who
is making tariff schedules that free-trade
on window glass will give a large part Of
the American market TO European COM
petitors who pay one-third the wages paid
in American glass plants and force a large
part % them to shut down and the others
to reduce the scale of wages, If true TO his
profession he would say: II am making a
tariff for revenue only; any tariff which
checks imports without yielding revenue
is a protective tariff. no matter whether
the percentage Of duty is ) or 20; l am sorry
II labor employed in glass-making must
suffer If glass is put on the free list, but
American labor must learn to get along
with European wages, since a tariff 10 pro-
tect their industry IS simply legalized rob-
berry"
Heretofore, in the discussion of the tariff
question. the advocates of protection have
not compelled those who advocate "a tariff
for revenue only 10 defend their doctrine.
which is that any duty which does not af-
ford revenue or which incidentally assists
a home industry is a protective duty, and,
therefore, cannot be imposed. Now that
Democrats are disposed TO take up "a tariff
for revenue only" as al issue, force them
to fight on logical grounds with honest
arguments, and hold them up to the truth
on the stump and in the newspaper that
"a tariff for revenue only is a. tariff which
imposes a tax upon goods not produced in
this country and are of general use. Com

zeal grounds

MAKE TIE ISSUE CLEAR.

The advocates of the policy of protection
have not in their discussion Of the tariff
question compelled their opponents to &C
cept the logic of their profession. A tariff
for revenue only means that every element
of incidental protection should be elimin-
ated from tariff laws. We have never had
such a tariff law in this country, since here
and there incidental protection was in
volved in the difference in the rates of duty
between the manufactured product and the
raw material Of which ii is made. For in
stance. TO put wool on the free list and
place a duty upon goods made of wool is a
recognition of the rightfuIness or the ne
cessity of protection. To put the simple
forms OF iron and steel on the free list and
then put a duty of any figure. no matter
how small. upon like goods made from iron
or steel, is a recognition OF the principle
of protection. In principle. a tariff which
puts wool on the free list and imposes a
duty ranging from Is to 40 per cent. upon
wooden goods, according 10 the amount of
labor expended upon their production. is
as much q protective tariff as if the duties
began with wool and ended with 100 per
cent. ad valorem upon the finest goods. All
of the talk about free raw material which
Mr.. Cleveland's supporters made in 1892.
and a moderate duty on the goods was a
recognition OF the necessity Of protection.
a tariff Cor revenue only must be placed
upon articles OF large consumption not pro-
duced in the country. II must be a duty
on liquor. coffee. tea and a few other arti-
cles not produced 70 any extent in the
United states. The free-trade theory that
the consumer pays the duty and that the
duty Is always added to the worlds price
OF the goods makes il a great injustice TO
place a duty upon any goods manufactures
largely in this country. Since the amount
added 10 the price by the duty is taken
from the pocket OF the consumer and
transferred 10 the stronghold OF the manu-
facturer. To illustrate: Indiana and Ohio
and Pittsburg can turn out all the window

Micawber Democrats.

Washington Star.
Mr.. C~leveland's speech at the Tilden Club
met nowhere with more vigorous objection
than in Georgia. Some Of the comments. in
deed. were almost savage. The ex-President
was in effect told 10 go way back and sit
down. The Democracy desired none or his
counsels. He had had his day and made a
mess of his task. And so on.
Since the Georgia Democrats have met in
state convention. nominated a ticket for
state offices, and adopted a platform. Not
a word appears in il either about Mr.. Bryan
or the Kansas City platform, and this is ac-
cepted everywhere as a reputation of the
Nebraskan and his policies.
Now the question arises. for what in ma
tional affairs do the Georgia Democrats
stand? If neither the Cleveland policies nor
the Bryan policies will any longer answer,
are there any policies in sight that do? Or
are the Georgians simply waiting for some
thing to turn up? Have we then three
brands of MISUNDERSTANDING Democrats,
Bryan Democrats and Micawber Demo
Gratis?

There were times during the South Afri-

Britain. but she is coming out OF the con-

really winning laurels by her generous

course, it is good politics on her part TO
treat them magnanimously. but If she had
adopted a different policy they would have

that Great Britain has won more glory
