Facts (Denver.) , Governor Leedy, unless the advocate Is far at sea, will prove to be among the most successful and popular chief mag istrates In the history of our state. He has thus far in the main managed the affairs of his high flfilce with excellent judgment.

' The industries of America are chiefly manufacturing and agricultural. The manufacturer says to I ha farmer, "The way for you to prosper is to make me rich first, by shutting out competition, letting me have a monopoly of manu facturing and paying me more for the gomls you buy than you do now. I will then employ men you are feeding now, and they will continue to eat. Of course you can't expect higher prices for the products of your soil, because your prices are regulated by foreign demand." And the farmer votes lor such men as the manufacturer wants to send to con gress to enact laws for him to give him such monopoly.

Nor do they tell us that whilu they are benefit ting one farmer by a tariff on wool that they tore taxing a thousand other farm ers for this one fanner's benefit. Really, it i not the sheep farmer that they are interested in, but if.they can assist the manufacturer to ''fleece" the people out of a few millions through a tax on wool, it will stimulate their campaign fund in 1900.
