A majority ~ the voters ~ New
Mexico remember Niyldly the condi-

1898 when lambs sold at a dollar
head and cattle were on the market
at seven dollars II head: when banks
and business houses closed their
doors and when poverty stalked

presented In behalf OF the Democratic
candidates in 1899 that are being pre-
scented In behalf OF the Democratic
andldAtes In 1919. The same poll
cies are being advocated and the
democratic party 10 pledged TO carry
out those policies, just az Il was In
1891.
q Incidentally a little study Of sta

between the prices OF retail meats In
London ana New York was relatively
