WHAT'S THE USE.

WHAT'S THE USE
What is tn. use of the Democratic bosses and their
allies of the torch and bomb brigade constantly abusing
the men who have established and who develop
ing Cotorados mining industries?
They refer to the who conducting the mining
interests of this state in the contemptuous
denounce them as heartess corporations, arrogant
combines Of wealth, arbitrary aristocrats other
men because they asked the privilege of operating their
properties unmoested and unterrorzed by the Western
stutional right conduct legitimate business.
The Democratic platform that the party is in
alike
Why. then. should the Democratic leaders denounce
ing interests of the state for asking for the legal
lection which the platform they entitled to?
The mines of Teller county by grasp
ing syndicates illegal combines trusts, by
sands of individual stockholders the most of whom
The and the investor have developed
many instances under conditions calling for
nary business courage and if there is industry in Colo
rado that merits the full and complete protection of the
law. it is the mining industry.
They asked for protection in their right to operate
the strikers admitted satisfactory
they did not ask to have changed
This lawful right the lawless element undertook to
deny to the mine owners and to the who wished
work for them and yet the Democratic denounces
stration for granting it. If they entitled this
lection, why are the Democrats kicking?
sordid and unpatriotic Appeal.
The Democratic party cannot attack or 1njure one Of
Coorados industries without injuring all them
industry is to great extent dependent another The
Democratic speakers in the agricultural that
the farmers are no concerned in the prosperity OF the
mining industry. and they tell the farmers that they
should not be called to portion of the
pense incurred in maintaining personal rights
in the mining counties
A more sordid and unpatriotc appeal could not pos
sibly be made by political party.
The prosperity of the farmer depends the pros
perity of the mining state
the greater portion of Colorados agricultural products
he m in
dsry to suffer without causing the farmer to suffer- The
numerous mining of the state, which agri
cultural products of all kinds could not exist without the
mines.
Colorado mines have supported, directly indirectly
very large portion of the population of the state which
lives in the larger cities and which is
with the smaller towns or in smelling and refining works
and other enterprises tributary to and dependent the
mining districts.
All Protected Alike.
To depress destroy mining industry permit
the Socialists, who declare all be robbery
do it, would industrial to the entire The
farmers of Colorado not called upon pay for
protection granted the mine that they do not
themselves enjoy.
The farmer owing to the his business,
DOM If obliged to call the state to protect him
right to work his property or to guard himself and
his from attacks of awless but il his
sona property rights attacked he would promptly
and demand the protection of the county
authorities which would be promptly granted him If the
Republicans administering the law.
1t insult to the intelligence and patriotism of the
farmer to that he would deny the protection and
justice to the who conducting the mining indus
try of the state which he would demand for himself if
his rights assaed. 1t is equally insulting
the intelligence and common of the for Demo
cratic to assume that he does know that his
interests intimately bound with the
mining industry.
The Republican party hopes support of a ma
ority of the voters of Colorado it appeals them the
grounds of common sense Justice and patriotism and
satisfied to leave to the opposition the policy undea
ing to win political support by arrayng class against class
and the agricultural interests against the mining interests
