It Is Underconsumption.

"The amount of work you do" said S.
J. Kent of Lincoln, Neb., in q recent lee
ture, "does not depend on the number Of
hours you work. The difference between
barbarism and civilization is consump-
ton, and anything that makes it impos-
mble for men to satisfy their desires is an
impediment to civilization. We are told
by men high in authority that we are
suffering from overproduction-from the
overproduction of silver, from the over
production of the necessaries of life, al
though there are thousands of poor fell
lows who have not a dollar in their pock-
cts or food to eat. The trouble is there
is not enough consumption. In the same
breath that these people say that there is
overproduction they tell workingmen to
economic. Why, if we were to econo-
mize there would be still greater over
production. Such people are not con-
sistent. It is by expanding our wants
and desires that civilization is advanced,
and if this were done generally there
need not be an idle man in the world to-
day, and it is sin that there is"

Trouble Only Begun.

The World-Herald says that railway
men report that Omaha wholesale deal
ers in things other than the necessities
of life find orders from Colorado can
celed every day" And this is only the
beginning Of trouble. On account Of
this loss of traffic the roads are discharg-
ing hundreds Of employees, and as soon
as they are discharged they become
largely nonconsumers. That reduces
the sales Of retail dealers, and they don't
buy of the wholesale houses. When the
wholesale houses can't sell. they cease to
buy of the eastern manufacturers.
When the eastern manufacturer can't
sell, he discharges his workmen. Then
they can't buy, and the eastern retail
dealer can't sell.
Those fellows may think they have no
interest in this silver question, but they
will find out one of these days before
long whether they have or not. It may
strike them last, but it will strike them
hardest of all in the end. We are not
going to starve on these fertile plains if
the banks do make it impossible to pay
debts. We raise enough to feed our pop
ulation, and doom there they do not.
There will be some long, piercing calam-
ity bowls from New England before
long. -Nonconformist

Why Not Whaat9
MOOrhead. Miss,

In your weekly issue for July is an
article which assume to be an editorial,
entitled "Mr. BANDS Injustice" in
which you characterize as absurd the
declaration by Mr.. Bland that there is a
conspiracy against silver, and then pro-
coed to argue that our government, in
stead Of conspiring against silver, has
been very friendly toward it, has bought
large quantities of it with view to keep
ing up it's price and has lost large sum
Of money in its vain effort to accomplish
that result. Your conclusion is that sill
yer mine owners and all friends Of silver
should feel grateful to the government
for its heroic efforts in their behalf-ef-
forts never made in behalf of other in
terests or any other product.
Your argument provokes the ques-
tions: Has the government been friendly
to silver? Have it's efforts been conducive
to the maintenance of its price? Suppose
the government had prohibited the use
Of wheat for bread; then, to keep up
its price, decreed to buy a few million
bushels each month, store it in ware
houses, from which it was probably new
er to be drawn, and issue to the people
the equivalent of it's value in rye and
corn bread. Would the growers of
wheat regard that as kind treatment of
their product? Would that sort of 6nan-
ciering C0 be considered single remove
from idiocy?
Has not the government given precise
ly such treatment to silver as my hypo-
thetical treatment Of wheat Wouldnot
wheat inevitably decline under such con-
ditions, and under like conditions could
silver hope to escape similar fate? If
this government has been kind to silver,
was it not kindness that kills2-S. M.

HIT THE BULLSEYE.
Tom Watson Takes Time Between Speeches

Tom Watson Takes Time Between Speeches
to Exhort the True Men.
When did the people Of Georgia ever
assemble in such tremendous crowds to
hear political speeches?
Where is the man that does not know
that profound depths Of popular feeling
are being touched, and that the heart Of
the commonwealth is troubled at the
Cend of government?
The hum of discussion vibrates in the
lir from center to circumference of the
body polite. The silent but irresistible
columns of thought are moving as they
have not moved for 25 years.
The scouting parties of research and
inquiry take no rest either day or night.
Throwing down his Atlanta Journal
or his Savannah News, the Democrat,
nearly starved for taste of the whole
bodied truth, rides 20 miles to hear a
Populist discuss national affairs.
Disguised with the never ending
squabble among the Democratic bosses
about the Offices, and turning with sick
ened surprise from the spectacle Of the
national government of 65,OOO,OOO of
people being run by lot Of statesmen
who work one day and go fishing the
other six, he bitches up the old mare to
the buggy and joins the wonderful pro-
cession which rumbles along under the
tall pines, mile after mile, to hear an
honest talk about the most important
questions which can affect people.
This is no fancy sketch. It is the lit
eral truth. Democrats by the score are
attending our meetings and will continue
to do so.
Now, our duty is plain. Every speech
must be pitched to the high level of pa
triotism. Speak for the good of our COM
mon country. Lift principle above par
ty and truth above partisanship.
Concede that the country Democrat
has been honestly in error and then try
to convince him of that error.
Drive home the thought that we have
been made the tools Of the money kings,
who have captured the machinery Of
both the old parties, and that our only
salvation lies in massing all the people
to fight the banker combine.
Dwell untiringly upon the fact that
the eastern and northern Democrat is as
much our enemy upon all questions of
finance and taxation as the eastern and
northern Republican.
Explain with all the might that's in
you the identity of interests between the
south and the west and the antagonism
of interest between the south and the
east and north, then ask the country
Democrat why he should always follow
the bosses, who allow the south to be
plundered in the interest of the eastern
and northern plutocrats.
Load you guns in this way, men, and
you'll hit the bullseye every crack.-T.

FARMS IN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
4 Letter From Prominent Business Ma,
Giving the True Situation.

Letter From q Prominent Business Man
Giving the True Situation.
General A. j. Warner, President American BIZ
metallic League. Washington:
DEAR SIR inclose a list of country homes
whose owners have been ruined by the low
price of cotton and whose homes are now Of
fered for sale by the Caldwell and Judah Mort
gage company. Here is a list of IS farms Of
fered for sale by single mortgage company
and the closing out Of farmers is barely COM
menced. Those marked with cross in pencil
are In the valley here and are in q section that
Is as fertile as the valley of the Nile.
You will notice that these farms, part wood
ed and part under cultivation, including build
ings, cotton gins and all improvements. are Of
fered at an average of some $40 per acre. a fig
ure not over one-third of what they should
bring, as the wild land alone is worth $40.
This list is not all that this company has taken
In. The larger places in this valley, bid in by
them at ~ to rs cents on the dollar, they have
retained for themselves, and l am informed
that they lost a large sum Of money last year
running those places, raising cotton. and they
will lose more this year.
There is no money in this valley, and land
and lumber are absolutely unstable. l can
sell my clear lumber to go north usually,
though just now we cannot sell in the north,
but coarse lumber for building cabins, etc.,
here cannot be sold, and to ship it to the north
will hardly pay freight. l cannot sustain my
self in the lumber business and must STOP
About all the lumber mills around me have
failed or shut down. l have quit cutting logs
in the woods and as soon rs can saw up the
logs already cut and sell the lumber will
quit and go to buying car lots of lumber and
shipping north.
There is nothing but serfdom before the peo-
pie Of the south and west unless there is a
change that will give them living price for
the products Of their farms
Everything is at a deadlock-banks refusing
accommodations to their customers, compel
ling everybody to pay up and not paying out q
single nickel that they can avoid. The govern
ment, banks and people-a,ll are short Of money.
II this and heavy fall in prices until wheat
Is lower than ever before known is not proof
that there Is not near money enough, then in
Gods name when can we get proof of it?

Virginia Campaign.

We are now more than ever impressed
with the importance of the Virginia
campaign. It is the initial battle of the
campaign Of 1894. This fight cannot be
confined to the state Of Virginia. It is
national in it's character and results.
Every Populist in this country is in
terested in it's outcome and should stand
ready to do his or her full share to bring
about a glorious victory. We propose
to start "Watchman fund" for Vir-
ginia to be used in paying the expenses
of outside speakers. There are good
men who can be sent into that state with
little expense. Everything will be done
under the direction of the Virginia state
committee. A strict account will be
rendered each week of receipts and dis
bursements. No matter how small the
contribution, it will be gladly received.

Parties and Panics.

The first great panic in our history fell
on the year after John Adams was
elected. The second, emitting the war
era Of 1925, began soon after Monroe's
first election and eliminated in 1919. A
few miner furries occurred, and then
came the crusher of 1887. do not count
1927, 1847 and the state bank panic Of
1854 as more than mere furries. So Of
the really great panics we have had one
under the Federalists, one under the
Jeffersonian Demo-Republicans, three
under the Democrats Gf you count this
one) and two under the Republicans. AS
the panics of 1887 and 1878 lasted five
years each, we find that the number Of
panic years under each political party
bears an exact ratio to the number Of
years that party ruled the county,.

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Executive Com
mittees of the Peoples Party
and the State Alliance.

Following is the full text of the
resolutions adopted by the execu-
tive committees of the peoples party
and the state farmers alliance at the
Joint session held at St. Paul July
9Th, 1898:
ENDORSING MIR. DONNELLY.
"Resolved, That we have entire
confidence in Hon. IgnatiuS DOnnel
ly. We believe that he has been and
is the best friend the farmers and la
borers have had in Minnesota, for
the last thirty years; and that dur
ing all that time he has been the
target of plutocracy, and their hire
lngs.
FUSION"
Resolved, That we resent the i'm
putatiOn that the peoples party of
the state of Minnesota in the last
campaign, ''fused" with the demo-
cratic party, as an absolute, unjusti-
fable falsehOOd.
ENDORSING THE REPRESENTATIVE.
sResolved, That we desire to ex-
press our cordial approval and hearty
endorsement of the new alliance pa
per, the REPRESENTATIVE, and we
ask every friend of reform in the
state to constitute himself commit

tain it and increase it's circulation.
1t is laboring, in a moderate and
temperate spirit, to unite all ele-
ments of reform, in this state, in
harmonious action;it is owned by the
local alliances; 1t cannot and 1t aoill not
sell as out IN the crisis of campaign,
and if it is sustained, as it should be,
it will give us the state in 1894. We
ask every local alliance and every
peoples party club and industrial
league in the state, to 60 to work at
once and help build it up and make
it great power"
This was followed by the following,
also unanimously adopted:

If farmer having specific obligations,

or six times as much wheat as he
had, would pay in wheat at the de-
mand of creditors obligation while he
had the option of paying in oats of which
he had more than he had granary room
for, he would be universally considered
an idiot. If, acting for another, under
such circumstances he paid out wheat to
q party who was conspiring to compel
his employer to buy back wheat at big

NAMES,
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Resolved, That we desire to say to
the members of the peoples party of
this state, that the prospects for the
success of the principles our party
were never so bright as they are to-
day: The terrible collapse of the
business and commerce of the whole
country, and the great suffering
which is following and must follow
to the mass of the people, who labor
for a living, are opening the eyes of
the voters to the fact that the finan-
cial principles of the old parties are
destructive of the country, and they
are coming over to the peoples party
by the hundreds of thousands. We
have only to stand firm by our prin-
ciples to speedily achieve state and
national triumphS.
Resolved, That in the presidential
campaign of last year we told the
people that the great issue was the
financial one; and that the outcry of
both the old parties, about the tariff,
was simply a sham fight, agreed upon
by them, for temporary purposes, to
divert public attention from the real
questions at issue. The result has
proved the truth of our statements:
the tariff issue is now dead and
buried; the money issue is the sole
and only one before the people to-
day. We call the attention of the
voters to this to show how cunningly
they were humbugged, by the money
power, acting through the leaders of
two great agencies, the republican
and democratic parties.
THE FREE SILVER CONVENTION.
Resolved, That we urge that full
delegation go from Minnesota to the
Chicago convention. to be held
August 1st, 1898; to protect against
the repeal of the Sherman act and to
demand the full reconciliation of
silver. We believe that the said con-
ventiOn will be the most important
held in this country, in the last quar-
ter of century.
"Resolved, That we have heard
with profound regret of the great
and irreparable loss sustained by our
friend and fellow member of this
committee, Hon. II. P. Bjorge, in the
loss of his eldest son; and we assure
him that he and his family have the
sympathy of all who know them in
their great affection.
Resolved, That this resolution be
spread upon the minutes of the state
farmers alliance, and the secretary is
directed to forward copy of the
same to Mr.. Bjorge.
