A Republican Mess.

The Washington Post declares that
the German Ambassador has deliver
ed an ultimatum to the State Depart
ment on the tariff issue and threatens
II Germans are not given reciprocal
tariff privileges to annul the Favored
nation" tariff treatment to this coun-
try. That would place exports from
the United States on the maximum
basis which is virtually prohibitive
and would shut out our products
from the German market.

enough alone" evidently has its
drawbacks, yet the Republican lead
ers and President Roosevelt have de-
cided to ''stand pat" The news Of
that Oyster Bay conference has evil

ment to retaliate. Who will back
down? Emperor Bill or President

The Denver Fight.

Anent the squabble In the Denver
Democratic camp, the Silverton
Standard (Dem.) says:
"Governor Thomas takes the role
Of regular, Patterson Of the irregular.
Both are admirably suited to their
parts. Patterson is veritable Go
mez to lead rebellion, but seldom
with the disinterested motives that
moved the Cuban patriot. He is
labeled Democrat for want of an ap-
ter designation. Governor Thomas
is a Democrat by birth, choice and
training. AS rule he has been reg
ular, but his record is not wholly
clear. AS late rs 1900, when COVER
nor, in company with Speer he lead q
revolt in Denver against the regular
Democratic chairman, Thomas J.
Maloney, and organization. AS re-
suit, two delegations were sent to
the state convention and both denied
recognition, though the Maloney
faction was awarded the party name
by the supreme court. The whirligig
of time has reversed the attitude of
Thomas and Speer. Today they
stand as the champions Of regularity.
patterson, the prince Of inconsis-
tency, could hardly beat that per-
Torrance.
"Absolute justice cannot be done
by the recognition of either contend
ing faction. There is modicum of
right and a balance Of wrong in both
pIeadings. In such case the state
convention has little recourse.
"If the parties to the suit refuse to
arbitrate their differences, throw
them out Of court. There is Justice
and precedent in such procedure"

Protecting the Farmers.

The International Harvester Com
pany-the agricultural machinery
trust-has just made contract with
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany for 5000 tons of pig iron, the
price being about $l3 q ton At Birm-
ingham. That will make good
many harvesters and other farm ma
chimes which will cost the farmers Of
the United States at least 20 per cent
more than 1t should through tariff
protection of the trust Paragraph
400 of the tariff law provides that:
"Plows, tooth and disk harrows,
harvesters, reapers, agricultural
drills, and planters, mowers, horse
rakes, cultivators, threshing ma
chimes and cotton gins, twenty per
centum ad valOrem."
This trust is said to be selling its
products cheaper abroad than here
and our farmers have to pay high
prices for the benefit Of the trust and
the foreigners.

Denver Markets.

Denver Union Stock Yards, Sept. 8
Receipts Of cattle were liberal last
week at all points. The market here
was fairly active but with plenty Of
cattle on hand buyers were not slow
to take advantage Of the opportunity
afforded to shade prices. The local
market held up we'll the week before
even though western markets report
ed . big decline, and prices here were
considerably higher than at river
points. With good run here this
week buyers have been trying to get
the market back into line with quo
tations at other points. In this they
have been partially successful al
though prices here are still higher
than they are east. Choice beef steers
have been in good demand all week
and quotations are just about steady
with . week ago, but the medium to
Afsir kinds are 10 to 10 cents lower.
Some choice grass steers sold Satur-
day at t4.4O, which represents about
the top, bulk of the pretty good kinds
selling from this down to $3.50. Cows
suffered most, the decline for the
week amounting to 25 to 40 cents. A
bunch of fancy spayed heifers sold
Saturday at 1915 but few cows land
ed above $500 and most Of the pretty
good went at $40 to $2.s5. Bulls and
veals are about steady and In very
good demand. Feeder and stocker
trade was fairly active. Supply was
better than it has been and demand
was good from all sources but buyers
seem to think present prices are pref
ty high and the trading for this rea-
son has been . little slow. The feed
or demand on the eastern markets is
very light and prices reported lower
than . week ago. Prices here are 10
to 20 cents lower in sympathy. Indi-
cations point to an excellent trade
here from now on. Eastern feeders,
by coming to Denver for their steers
get the advantage Of the feed-in-tran-
sit rate and a great many of them
now buy regularly on this market.
With this advantage they can afford
to pay more for their cattle here than
at the river markets and shippers
will make no mistake by sending
their stuff this way.

"stewart and Gabbert."

A Denver dispatch says Stewart
and Gabbert are to be the Republican
standard bearers.
Both Messrs. Stewart and ,Gabbert
are recognized as the corporation
candidates. Mr.. Stewart not only
stands close to the corporations Of
Colorado, but was treasurer Of the
famous Peabody campaign fund, per-
haps the largest fund ever raised in
Colorado by the corporations to re-
ward with further honor . man who
had 70 signally befriended them. The
law ~ enunciated by the supreme
court during Justice Gabbert's chief
justiceship has also signally befriend-
ed these same corporations, and the
announcement that they would be
candidates came as no surprise. The
rank and file do not believe that the
Republican party will nominate
either Of the two men and do not be-
lieve that either of them can be elect
ed II nominated.
Already their candidacy has caused
widespread opposition to the corpor-
atoms running the Republican con-
vention. No one save the agents Of
the corporations wants either Of them
nominated. Neither has performed
any meritorious service to the state
or to the party to warrant their NOM
nation on the Republican ticket
Judge Gabbert was elected to the po-
sition that he now holds as Popu-
list-Democrat and has never announ-
ced that he belonged to any other
party. So far as Mr.. Stewart is con-
cerned the Republicans Of the state
say he has done nothing for either
party or the state to entitle him to
consideration at the hands Of the
convention. His position as president
Of q trust company that floats water
ed stock and bonds for corporations
and his position a. treasurer of the
corporations Peabody campaign fund
Of two years ago and his well-known
activity In defeating Senator VOL
colt four years ago all tend to make
him = very weak and very vulnerable
candidate In the eyes of the rank and
file Of the Republican party.
