Bpeel C”""”"a.i':m Orry, Col., é’upt. o0, 1873, It scoms that tho politionl rovolution now swoeping ovr tho prairies of tho Northwost is svon beginning to make ite influonces folt at the baso of tho Rocky Mountalns. Thoso who ro- ypose in tho fab places and enjoy & sinccure of tho Government-oftices affect to sneer nb and dospleo tho movemont ; bub tho massos percolve Mt thero ls somethingin i, and will gladly bail any step which promisos reliof from tho legion frauds of tho party now in vower. A notable Rlustration of this was afforded in tho eloo- tions for mombors of tho Torritorial Loglslaturo, beold on the 9th inst. The Ropublicans mado n strugglo as usnal ; bubit is o aingular fact that » majority of all the candidatos opposed to mo- nopoly, opposed to the ‘¢ enlary-grab,” opposed to Orodit Mobilier, and Crodit Foncior swindles, woro clocted. Tho now Legislature will be Lib- ernl In its tondonoles, and opposed from the very start to that outrogeous systom of dospotism and ‘brasa-collar rule which prevails so oxtonsively at Washington. The revolution is sproading, no mistake, and those who do not wish to got pinchod must stand from under. TIE STATE-MOVEMENT. Last wintor, Colorado made o vigorous sod determinod attompt to sccure admission into the sistorhood of States, only to meot with o disas- trous failuro, Proclscly how the movemont failed, and why it failed, tho readers of Tuk Tripuse doubtloss know, but this ead oxperi- snco witl not provent a second attompt at the noxt seesion of Congross. And yot, loaving oub ‘the politicians, and sll thoso wholo-souled, pa- Lriotic individuals who are willing to sorve their country in tho hnlls of Congross as Bonator or Roprosontativo, tho Stato-movoment is not pop- xnlar, and, if the mattor was eubmitted to o voto of the poople Lo-morrow, it would bo defonted by © largo majority. Colorado is not thickly enough ottled, and hor citizons are too busy over their own privato affairs, to ro much about n Btate-Government. on her thousands ond lona of acres of unoccupied Innd are takon up; when Yor rich mines of gold and silver aro dovelopad : when railways ponotrate her borders to all points of thia compnsa; whon iho spirit of wild ipooulation, now rampaut, makes way for logiti- mate onterpriso, aud patient, persovoring toil ; whon the lazy, shiftless grensors in the southern sounties aro routed out, to maeke room for livo, Intelligont Yankees; ond, flonlly, whon a fow bundrad of tho old aboriginal squatters are buried and thoir postority civilized,—then Coloraao can, and ehould, como in s o State; but now tho moyement I8 promature. Bvery candid porson feols that tho Territory will bo safer and much more prosperous to remain in the lending- etrings of Unclo Sam a fow yoars longer. Oolorado has on nbundenco of natural re- pources, and the immigration und capital now pouring in will soon develop theso to tho fullest Sapacity; but thore is daugor in pusbing and pvercrowding. OANON OITY. The point from which I nim writing the prosent loltor, Canou City, Is, without doubf, ono of tho most charming snd romautic towns in the Terri- wory. It s altuated just ot tho gato of that Nighty gorgo, tho Arknusas Canon, through TS 15 Ariauses River ravos, fonms, nud sjumbles for o distance of 12 miles, before irri- ating tho alkali eands of the plains bolow, !enta at n rongh pinc-table boforo the opon window (the mahogany and waluub articls ls inclingd to bo scarce in this country), o Botightful viow is afforded of lovely parks, grcon Foothills, castollatod racks, and_disiant moun- Lain-rango; whilo tho entire panorama is ro- Jieved and brought out in plainost dotail by an rtmoaphero which would put that of Italy to the blush. Tho noarest range does not scom to boe moro than 6 milos away ; but I am assured by £ho tall, stately Georginn who presides over tho hotol, and leads n hand to tho village-choir on Bundhys, that it Is twonty milos to the summit it it is an inch, and that & joumoy thoro and back would require Father Timo to potoh off at least two days. Tho distance Is very deceiving; but then the mountains would bo unworthy Colorado if they wore other- wise. Evorything in this country ia OALCULATED TO DECEIVE. Tho village-lot speculntor and the colony-prosi Aent botll work on that principle; the rancher, with Lis hand upon lis honrt and' Lia eyes up- turned to hoayen, will valiantly swear that tho soil of Colorado will produco the biggest wheat and vegetables of auy soil in the universo, while 3t the samo timo, & glanco over bis flolds will convinca any one that tho gmsnhup{mr! lave gob away with tho baggage, nud that sovany bae claimed his laplees wifo an lit- tle ones for its own; tho sturdy miner will wax eloquent over tho auriferous sands and silver-soninod rocks of Colorado, sud then proceed to tako in his victim with sslted ore; whilo tho cunning immigration agent rushes forward wilh o masa of statistics every figuro of which seoms fairly to bristlo with in- dignation towards any oue go foolish as to ques- tion tho future possibilitics and resouroes of the Switzerland of America, ‘Theeo mountalns, &0 near and yet o far, only FOLLOW OUT THIE: GENEMAL RMULE, Tho air that swocps down from their rugged heights {s wafted to our olfactories, Iaden with the balsamic breath of the pinion and the pine ; it ecems to whisper glorious things of the beauties boyond, and ig redolont with the traditions ~ of gold and procious stones, of grizzly-bears, and mountain-shocp that go bounding {rom crag to crag; every mo- tlon wnd every breath seems to inviie the aicont ; bat try it onco, and you are really undeceived.

Wo bo sure, tho Hon. Willinm D.

Tho mistake is, that Canon Oit Uae doponded to0 much upon hor natural ad. vantagos, aud not onough wpon puffory, ontor prise, eud printors’ ink.

Striko out in_slmost any directfon you plense from Canon City toward” tho mountalus, aond poltoty-olay, lime, grindstono matorial, varioga- tod marble, and other building stones exist in unbounded profusion.

EATLY BETTLEMENT, Canon Clty was first sotilod in 1858, and, at tho brenking out of our clvil war, wa one of the moxt prosperous towns in Colorado.

RSN~ FREE BANKING NOT THE REMEDY. To the Editor af The Chicago Tribune: 5 8in: The amount of curroncy extant {8 about #760,000,000. That sum is at least $200,000,000 more than the naturel commorce of tho country roquires dnring noarly ono-hinlf of every yoar. That gane sum {8 probsbly $200,000,000 loss {han commerce requires during the remaindor of tho samo yonr. In other words, in the normal exchange of commodities, £900,000,000 is nocdod one-half of tho year as much as £600,000,000 is noeded tho othor half, At times, the country banks Lave on deposit in the Oity of Now York upwards of $200,000,000. Desidos the New York Dalances, probably $50,000,000 of curroncy lio unomployed throughout the country during tho summor. It is opparent that, for many months annually, £500,000,000 is sufliciont for all usos, except speculation, gambling, and stupondous confidence oporations. Very fow poopla doubt that an additional fssue to-morrow of £200,000,000 would be greedily abeorbod into tho honlthy chinuuels of trado within o fow months,—a largo poart of it beforn to-morrow night, 8o commerce suffers intormittont on- gorgement snd famishmont,—s stomach too Smpty nnd n stomach too full of curroncy. How would {ras banking romody the altornations of distress? It is uaid, Fhrow open bouk doors, aud lot wybml{ issue currency who cun put up tho bouds. ~ 1t I8 furthor said that {he jmmediate result would be an immenso incroase of the National Bank notes in circula~ tion. Which s probsbly trno. Supposo tho fuoronse equal to tho wants of trado this fall and wintor, oud that tho coming spring should find us with currency afloat to the amount of $1,000,000,000, What then would bo done with it ? How couldit bo rotived ? The Danks that issuo would not redeom it. If they should, thoy would do 0 with other currency, If, thon, thie chaunols of commorco contrack overy Eummer 50 8 to bo gorgad with 870,000, 000, how could thoy._carty off 81,000,000,000'7 Dounble tho quantity noeded for a timo for any proper busixess, ono-half of it would bo diseri~ Eagod from trado.

Tho monoy, being 1dle, must bo Kub out for gain, Not finding employ= ment in fields of honost industry, aud uot boin convertiblo at once into roourities, sound, ptoady in valuo, and of sure proflt, out of which it could be reconverted when wanted sgaio, it would be turnod—an enormous freshst ol notos—into tho cnuons of spooulation, which empty into the stormy scas of panics and rovul- sions, The inflation following unrostrivted bank-issues, without at the,same tima providing on myiting mothod for subsequent contraction, would marshal all the claments of a future hur« zicano of hazarde. Thoy who prescribe freo banking think the bauky would regulnm tho supply of currency to the domand of Lrade. It is ovident that'the banks could, and probably would, lot out cur- yonoy rosponsive to tha increasing domand ab any #eaton, or from auy oxtraordinary condi- tions, But will any one tell how the banks could, and would, dinw in the snrplus nbun- dance after the conditions which called it out had Fusued? Would any bank, jn regulating its suo, -+ look with disinterosted benev- olonce to tho wolfare of tho community? ‘Would it not rothor alwsys be governed by {tfl own prlyato intorosts? Would not such bank + Meinsdorse go steadily to worl to Pllt out its pn&:ar 60 far oy possible, and to keep it out at ail times for . whatovor intorost it would eam? Indeod, how could tho bank got it in periodieally, if go de- giring?. Tlnt paper would be in the hands of n thousnnd unkmown holders, widely distributed, Tho notes would thon bolong, not "to the bauk, but to the holdors, and, when ounce out, the bank's control over them would bo gone. And, wherover thoy wero, at cortain seasons thoy would become fuol to the consuming firos of spoculation. Tho anticipation that freo banking would regulato tho curroncy would bo dlsnpe pointed. “As a balance-wheel, It would have the woight all on ono sldo; that sido would go down, but novor got IIJ}; S ‘Notwithstanding all which, the arbitrary limita- tions to bank lesuen might with safety bo re- moved, and should bo, if, ot the same time, some eifectivo mensures for poriodio retiremont of re- dundant .ourroncy bo provided, Bowo psople think tho mothod advanced in my formor lettors would adequately presorve tho equillbrium be- tweon mlpply ond demand, ~ Tho rolation of unlimited Louk-lssuos to the system nr:‘lnturuhnnqn proposed will, if you plonso, bo considerad heronftor, 01110460, O¢t. 18, 1873, CAToL GAYTES, ———— wyh 'VHEAT-SHIPMENTS.
