AN APPEAL FOR PEACE.

IAN appeal for peace" That is
the way Mr. Patterson heads an ed
itorial in yesterdays News.
And that Is Just sample of the
editorials that are flooding the Dem
ocratic and Federation press of the
state.
Let's have peace" they wall in
solemn chant And loudly they be-
moan the blot cast on the fair game
OF Colorado. by the endless outrages
and common lawlessness that has in
tested the mining districts.
They talk of constitutional rights
and of law and order. censure and
condemn all who are opposed to them.
And always they wind up with the
same old plea Let us have peace"
And-always all the way through
their advice and their petitions. runs
the same demagoguic Indictment that
above all else is really responsible
for all the so called lawlessness, for
all the much condemned mob rule,
that has caused them to much worry.
In one paragraph they cry Let us
have peace" And in the next, they
bewail the tyranny of the citizens of
Teller county and advise the deported
Federation members to return to their
homes"
In one sentence they demand har-
monius settlement Of the labor
troubles. And in the next they priase
Messrs. Haywood and Meyer for the
stand they have taken and insist that
the Cripple Creek district be again
thrown open to the anarchistic, dy-
namiting, assassinating Federation
sympathiZer.
They call for harmony and-they
preach dissension.
They demand an end to this war"
and they must have 1t on their own
terms.
They don't want war. They want
to see the end OF the labor troubles
They say so loudly and we must be-
ielve them. But-they won't take
any steps to end 1t.
They want settlement and they
want to drop the whole business and
settle down and quit their foolishness
But-they want the settlement all
their own way.
so they say. They want to see an
end to this lawlessness and mob vio-
lence-as they call it--but they won't
take the first step to bring It about
1t could be easily done. There is
nothing very difficult about it.
The Federation sympathizers and
their allies realize that there is no
place for them in the Cripple Creek
district
They know that there Is no room for
them here. They know that II they
were here. that there is no work LOT
them to earn their daily living.
They know all this. And-also-
they know that II all these things
were not as they are, II there was
place for them here. that the people
Of the Cripple Creek district would
not tolerate their presence for a single
day.
They konw these things They
have learned them from experience.
And 1t was a much needed lesson that
was given them.
They can easily end the "war."
They can without turning hand
bring peace to the troubled commun-
ity"
All they have to do la to leave the
district alone
We are getting along very we'll
without them. We don't need them
and we don't want them. And what's
more we won't have them.
They know all-they know 1t full
well And yet, they keep up their
endless exertions.
Also, they keep up their cry for
peace!-Cripple Creek Star.

10 the good Offices of the foreign or
American professional tea faster, who
passes on the goods as to price. The
tea faster has the samples infused, not
boiled, in his presence and passes upon
the quality, flavor, twang and manner
of curing. fixing a price accordingly,
from which there is never any varia-
ton and which the tea grower must &C.
cept or go elsewhere to dispose Of his
wares. In a single tract of tea land
like the one cited above the price has
ranged from IA cents, the lowest, to
4Sla cents, the highest, per pound
among sixty-one different tea produ
GERS. A matter Of great moment that
also figures in the price Of tea is
that very often tea from the same dis
trict will have the various Chops
blended together in order to produce
special fiavors.

The Cost of Living.

A careful analysis of the con-
ditions which govern the lives of
the American people today, fails
utterly to show that an era Of great
prosperity, such as administration
suumpspeakers picture, is existant.
1t costs the citizens of the Unit
ed States considerably more to live
now than it did a few years ago.
70 be exact, the advance in the
past five years in the cost of the
commodities necessary to sustain
life is II per cent, while, if there
has been any advance during that
period in the average wages paid
to the man who labors, it is not
appreciate.
The Increase in prices is. attrib-
utable to the combinations which
have been formed for the control
OF food-stufs, clothing, coal, house
hold goods, etc, which combina-
tions are fostered and protected by
national legislation.
The increase in the cost OF living
has increased steadily in the five
wears referred to. La 1902 the
price OF food was Is per cent high
er tnan in 1896, the year when
food was cheapest, and nearly IL
per cent higher than the average
in lS9O-99, and new, in 1904, things
cost more than they did in 1902.
As result of this increase fami-
