CTHE OTHER SIDE
EdlUfif Independent
Will you allow me a email apace to re
ply to Brother 0. L. Todd's letter of
April 27. In the first place we did not
seek this trouble with tbe Filipinos. We
know from onr boye and others tbat tbe
natives changed tbelr demeanor toward
ns when tbey were forbidden to enter tbe
city of Manilla in an armed condition for
tb purpose of plunder, murder and out
rage and were most inaobmt and con
temptible. This was poor recompenos
for freeing tbem from Bpaln but then
tbey were Ignorant dupes who were being
led by the nose by Agulnaldo, a sort of
small dictator whose power only ex
tended over tbe Island of Luzon, one of
tbe 150 Island In the Philippine group,
no that we could not enter into a treaty
with such a pereon. J am aware we are
a nation of different races but it become
to to stand together in war aad be loyal
ua the glorious star and atrlpea. Those
few Germans who bare been alrintr tbelr
eloquence lately roust know that by
this time the fatherland woe only play
ing a bluff in acting in tbe way tbey did
at Manilla a they are too shrewd not to
be aware tbat France 1 waiting with
bated breath to aee tbem embroiled lo
aome squabble in order to regain poane-
aion of Alsace and Loraine and again
raise their beloved tri color over It. No
Mr. Editor we believe it ia the mission of
the great English speaking people of
this nation and of tbe world to spread
civilization, law and libertr to oil tbe
dark place of tbe earth. Look at tbe
dark continent of Africa, 1100 bow tbe
curse of slavery and canfbulism bo been
eliminated mainly by Great Kntain, bow
the building ot railroads, thriving town

Every sow and then we bear some
easterner talking about hi "losses in

np the east," and ell that sort of thing,,
It ninkc us lose onr patience every
time we bear any one of these fellows

little, In tbe first place, we ere willing
to grant that emm exint where indi
vidual buve got the worst of their
wcntern investments, but u a whole
the east ia ahead of tbe west by a large
and very decided toaJiVlty. Take Colo
rado, for instance. During tbe pant ten
year we have mined about (300,000,
000 wortii of gold and silver. Who bns
that gold snd silver T la it in Colorado?
Not inucb I It is all buck cant. We have
sent over $200,000,000 back east in the
thape of other natural resources and
$500,000,000 won't cover the interest,
w have paid to the east io tbe shape
of Insurance and loans. Lunt year in
Gilpin conuty 12,800,000 worth of gold
and silver waa mined, and, strange to
say, only f200,000 in dividend wa
declared upon all tbe mining properties
of tbat county, snd those dividends,
most of tbem, fonnd their way oot of
the state. Here is something to think
about. If Colorado wann't thetlcbcst
state on en rib in natural resources, it
wouldn't be on tbe mnp today. Colora
do people prosper in spite of tbe bleed

Soma Traat Smaatars,
Despite til fact tbat s;m of tbe Re
publican organs are claiming in a vagn
way tbat their party will arnasb trust
by and by, it ia no secret tbat all th
G. O. P. leaders, witb hardly ao excep
tion, bold atock in trusta and corpora
tion, lint it appears that tbe Democ
racy ia pretty well tarred by tbe same
tick. All tb eastern leaders, inch aa
Croker, Flower, Gorman and Hill, are
identified witb trusts, and now it torn

always bad a warm aide for tbe money

are also reported aa having some of tbelr
