Mo-, where three children were born

TO THE coLoRED PEOPLE OF
COLORADO.

Special to The Colorado Statesman.
l wish to ask the young people of
Colorado, who say that the Republican
party did not fight to free the slaves,
who was John Brown, the man hung
by Gov. Wise of Virginia? Well, John
Brown was the first man to whom
you can trace your freedom, and he
died for the colored man; he was a
Republican.
The white man of the North organ
lied the underground railroad and ran
all sorts of risks to bring slaves into
the Northern states and then refused
to allow them to be taken back; and
the Methodist and Quakers compelled
their members to free their slaves or
resign from the church. The above
facts were really the cause of the war
1t was against the law to be caught
stealing slaves and shipping them
North and the man of the South was
allowed to kill anyone so caught and
was protected by law, and yet the
white man of the North took those
chances for the black man of the
South.
Do you still say the white man did
not fight to free slaves?
Why did Gen. Grant tell President
Lincoln (both Republicans) to free the
slaves? So they could fight and help
free themselves; and you young col
ored people don't appreciate all this.
The Northern white man has done
more for the black man than all the
rest of the world put together. would
like to ask the black man this ques-
ton: If the white man was in slavery
today, how many of you colored folks
would take up gun and shed your
blood to give him freedom? Yet the
white man of the North did all this
for you.
Now boys, don't forget that it was
the Republican party that was respon-
sible for all this, and the party has
always been your friend. Don't forget
this in November; cast your vote
straight, and remember that Mr.. Will
son is the first man that ever drew
the color line in the White House All
we want is fair chance, and believe
the Republican party is our party and
why make a change for something else
which we know is antagonistic to US.

ALL RIGHT IN ITS PLACE.

The price of silver is higher now
than at any time since 1898. By the
mere processes of supply and demand
it has come to bear a ratio of 27 to l
to gold. The war caused the hoard
ing of gold, and silver therefore has
been in great demand for coming pur-
poses among the belligerent nations.
Meanwhile the output of Mexico has
been decreased. Silver has benefited
more by war than it ever did by
Coins specious arguments or by Mr..
Bryan's perfervid eloquence. Only
twenty years have passed since the
nation was in an uproar over the
cause of silver. We passed through
period of evasions before the is
sue was joined in 1895, and then one
of the most exciting and picturesque
presidential campaigns of our history
occurred. Today no man raises his
voice in behalf of silver. Unhonored
and unsung, it nevertheless is doing
