It

the part o f the people.
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,
