The nation has paid dearly already for the few years which the Radical party has been in power, and the price of so exquisite a luxury is uot todimin- ish. So long as there is a demand for it, so long the cost will increase. When the pas-ious tnd prejudices engendered by tho war shall have fully passed away, the people will approach an investiga tion of the condition into which their government has been plunged he the men they have intrusted with power, with more calmness and consideration. Reason will resume its throne, aud tho action o f the masses will be no longer controllable by passions both unnatural a* d unwise. When that day shall come, as come it must, tho Democratic party will gain the victory. The power of the Constitution will bo restored— a r- spect for law, for justice and for right will again prevail throughout the le.nd. The immutable fact that free govern ment can only be sustained when 4 equal and exact justice to all men, o f what* ever persuasion religous or political," will again make itself the ruling convic tion o f the masses, To secure that end people will again demand that their public servants shall come up to tho J e f f e r s o n ia n standard of honesty aud capability. They will demand that in their official duties tKoy shall act for their country and not for their party; for through such means only can the government be r« stored to its original purity, vigor and capacity for contrib uting to the happiness aud prosperity ot the people. TO W O O L E S M A N U F A C U R E R S Let it not be forgot ted that there are half a million head of.ehecp in Southern Colorado, inexhaustible and abundant water power, a sufficent number o f peo ple. within a radius of one hundred and fifty miles, to consume the products of our wool, a thriving, energetic, prosper ous population, aud every other element c o m b i n e d which would tend to make the manufacture of wool a success and yet not a woolen factory in the Territo ry. To men of experience in that branch of manufacture, and capital, there never in the history o f the world were such inducements offered. W e have on two or three occasions publish ed statistics which demonstrated to the fullest extent all we now assert How Ion»' i hall such unparalleled epportuni- ti s for the investment of business capac ity and capital go begging? The first man » h o shall take the initiative in the establishment of a woolen manufactory at Pueblo, or some other favorable point in Southern Colorado, will harvest a fortune as the sure reward o f his ett.- tei prise.— Colorado Chieftain,
