MR.. EDITOR:
At regular meeting of the lodge
there was good attendance and dur
ing the meeting the last issue of
the REPRESENTATIVE was handed
the secretary, with the request that
he should read the article on binding
Irvine, written by Mr.. Donnelly. At
ter reading the article a resolution
was offered and passed without dis
senting vote, as follows:
Resolved That we, the members
or North Star alliance No. GA. do
pledge ourselves jointly and severally
to do all in our power to sustain
the states prison Irvine plant now in
operation at Saltwater; and we fur
Their pledge ourselves to use, whenev-
er practicable, the Irvine manufac-
tured by the state to the extent of
our needs"
This alliance is in a flourishing con-
dition, with a membership of about
sixty-tive. We are holding weekly
meetings. There is strength in the
development of true alliance.

[ herewith remit $1.OO for two six

the sample copy. The article on

many times a years subscription to

alive to his own interest. That's

A Shameless Creature.

Fish says that not single particle
of testimony has ever been given to
show that he sold out to the
Republican party in 1892 And yet he
knows perfectly we'll that Louis Han
son, OF Clay county, secretary of the
peoples party state central commit
tee, testified before that committee,
and the executive committee of the
state alliance, July 6, 1893, that Fish
had told him, near the close of the
1892 campaign, in a fit of rage, be-
cause one of his bills was cut down,
that he had been ''Offered a large
sum of money by the republicans to
turn his paper over to them, and that
he had decided to do So" This testi-
mony was published in this paper
nearly six months ago, and to Mis
hour has neuer been denied or co1,trodicted
by Fish. Louis Hanson is ready to
swear to the truth of his statement
at any time.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Carl E. Taylor was born in the
town of Leroy, Dodge county, Wis
consin, on the Goth of August, 1859.
His father was born in Great Bar
rington, Massachusetts, 1914, and
Moved to Paynesville, Ohio, where he
Married Miss Almira Parrish, a ma
tive of Eagle, Allegheny county, New
York.
Mr.. Taylor attended the district
school and by strict attention to his
studies, succeeded in preparing
himself to teach school at the age of
Is; but his health failing he was
forced to suspend studies. In the
summer of '76 suffered a sun stroke
which nearly ended his days. In the
spring of 1879, his health being
greatly improved, he went to Lu-
verne, Rock county, Minnesota, where
he met his fate in the person of Miss
Florence Weber. On the I'd of
July he concluded to try his fortune
farther west, and went to Waterloo,
Neb., and after one month on a
farm concluded he had the mountain
fever, and went to Fort Collins, Colo.
He spent about two years in the
mountains, working at river driving,
railroading, mining, farming and
hunting, when his mother, wishing
his assistance on the farm, he re-
turned to Wisconsin. He was mar
ried May 2, 1882. He operated the
homestead farm until the fall of 1886,
then removed to Minneapolis. After
eight months of city life he removed
to Long Lake, Hennepin county.
Mr.. Taylor was educated a republi-
can, but was believer in Temper
ance, and the republicans, failing to
take up that issue, he concluded to
vote for Fisk, and took an active
part in the campaign. After one
year Mr.. Taylor moved to Aitkin Co.,
and settled on a homestead, where
he has resided since and worked for
the Farmers Alliance Mutual InSur-
ance Co. He has taken an active
part in politics. He was an indie
pendent candidate for county COM
missioner last fall, and made a good
run, but was defeated. Mr.. Taylor is
a Deputy State Lecturer for the
State Alliance, and is now in the
field lecturing on alliance principles
wherever he can get a hearing.

REMEMBER
the Annual Meeting of the State
Alliance.

Alliance.
The constitution of the State ALI
ance originally fixed the first Tues
day in January as the day of the an
nual meeting 1t has been thought
that the members would prefer to
come together a week later, so as to
be able to celebrate New Years Day
with their families. Hence the con-
stitution was changed fixing the date
of the annual meeting on the second
Tuesday in January. 1t will be held
in the Lumber Exchange hall, Mime
apolis. Let all friends of the
cause will make special efforts to be
present. The meeting will be an in
teresting and most important one;
and several questions of moment will
be discussed; the speeches by Hon. A.
Reyes, w. w. Erwin, S. NJ. Owen and
others will add interest to the occa
sion. We are passing through terri
BILE times, and unless special efforts
are made the convention will be
small one;-not from any lack of in
terest in the work but because of the
cost of attending from distant parts
of the state.
But remember that the evil cOndi-
tions of disagreement which now
afflict us are due to past neglect of
duty by the voters; and if the chosen
spirits of the rural population, repre-
sented in the State Alliance now
grow disheartened and give up the
fight, the last barrier will be broken
down and the poverty and wretched-
ness of the people must greatly in
crease. This is not any one mans
battle:-it is all mems battle.
Let every man who loves his coun-
try and liberty, and who desires the
happiness and prosperity of himself
and his posterity, rally his neighbors,
rekindle the alliance fires, and be
with us on the 9th of January.
The worst of oppression is that it
depresses it's victims below the point
of resistance. 1t first plumbers and
then demOnetizes them. It gives the
slave a slaves spirit. 1t robs him
until he has nothing left to fight
with. That is the condition that is
slowly crawling over the producing
classes of Minnesota. The toilers of
the eastern states have already fallen
into political helplessness. They
grOan and obey.
Be with us, friends and brethren, on
January 9th, and let us see if we can
not do something toward driving
back the demoniac forces that are in
vading our land.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
A Word to the Delegates to the annual
Meeting and to Other Friends Of
the Representative.

We direct your attention to the
new advertisements which appear in
this number of the REPRESENTA-
TIVE, and we want you to read every
word of the following:
The success of this paper depends
upon it's advertising patronage, and
advertisers will use it to just the eX-
tent that it is useful to them. Its
usefulness to them depends upon YOU.
All the delegates, and farmers in the
city ION other errands, must seek hotels.
Many of you will doubtless defer
your purchases of clothing, or other
goods, to secure the advantages the
larger stocks and cheaper prices of
the city offer Some of you will take
the opportunity to find a CASH mar
ket for your butter, eggs, etc.
We have some hotel advertisements
Other things being equal, Datronize
those acho putronize yootr paper and help
you keep it up. These hotels are con-
venient to the hall, and you cannot
do better. The Palace Clothing
house, of Minneapolis, [see eight
pagel is not excelled in Minnesota,
either for the extent of it's stock, the
value it returns to purchasers for the
money invested, or in reputation
for uniformly fair dealing.
The Milton Dairy Company whose
advertisement appears on the third
page, has been known to us for
years. They are courteous, reliable
and honorable gentlemen. They do
a large business, and have a special
trade in and pay special prices for
fancy grades of dairy butter. You
can make it pay you to call on or
write them. And alaoays mention this
paper when you do so. The REPRE-
SENTATIVE is devoted to the up
building of your cause-it is fighting
for the interests of your home and
family-patroniZe those who sustain
it by their patronage.
