A Premium Offered.

For the purpose of introducing our
paper into the homes of new sub
scribers, we agree to give, during the
next four weeks from August 16,
to each subscriber who sends in one
dollar, for one years subscription,
for himself or any one else; or two
subscribers for six months each, a
copy of Hon. Ignatius Donnelly's
last and most famous book, The
Golden Bottle" the retail price of
which is Scots.

thing. Read what is said of it in
another column. Call the attention
of your neighbors, who are not yet
subscribers for the REPRESENTA-
TIVE, to this offer. The book is hav-
ing an immense sale from the At
lantic to the Pacific. One Boston
firm is now negotiating with the
publishers for special order of 5000
copies, to give away, to help the
cause of reform.

The fact that they have already

Ignatius Donnelly did his duty.
He helped to expose the rascality.
But ever since the democratic and
republican courts and juries have
been busy undoing his work and pro-
tecting the robbers. And the winter

is rising. God help the poor
Don't blame Donnelly. Give him
power enough and the thieves would
be crawling into artesian we'll holes
all over this country, and asking the

The question is, whether republi-
can institutions can endure where
a majority of the people are fools
and most of the rest are knaves.
That is an interesting problem; and
we are studying it with acute in
terest. In the east it has passed
beyond discussion. 1t is still an open

The UNEMPLOYED.

The problem of providing for the
support of the laboring men who are
out of work, is assuming serious pro-

and suffering will prevail unless
effective measures for relief are
promptly used. Monday evening
five or six hundred men who are with

Mr.. III. B. Martin gave admirable ex-
preston to the prevalent sentiment
when he said that these men "know
that society does not owe them a
living, but they believe it does owe
them chance to make a living"

Mr.. Taylor assures us that the peO-

The Premium Books.

When we started the REPRESENT
ALIVE we offered premium copy of
Caesars Column" or doctor HUI
guet" to all subscribers for one year
paying one dollar. A large number
subscribed paying this amount and
ordering one or other of these books.
Just then Mr.. Donnelly's Chicago
publishers, F. j. Schultz & Co.,
failed in business and the plates and
copies of these books were attached
by their creditors, and we found it
impossible to get the books from
him. We have since been trying to
get copies from a third party, and
we have just received word from
Chicago that enough copies of doc
tor Huguet" have been shipped to
us to fill the orders for those books.
We will forward them to the SUBJ
scribers as soon as received. AS to
Caesars Column we regret to say
that we have not yet been able to
secure copies; but within a month
we expect that the Arena Publish
ing Company, of Boston, will pub
lish the book and also doctor HUI

that are wanted. If any of the sub
scribers think they cannot wait that
long we will send them copies of

An American Policy.

If man endorses the English
policy of single gold standard, he
is financier; if he advocates Amer
lean interests he is a "crank."
England is the largest creditor ma
tion in the world. She owns $1,000
100000 of American securities that
draw interest. We pay that inter
est. She is the blood-sucker; we
furnish the blood. Our interests de-
mand financial policy the very re-
verse of hers. Any one with as
much brains as woodpecker can see
that! Nevertheless, the man who
ventures to defend an independent
American system of finance for the
benefit of Americans, is a "cheap
money lunat1c." So say the daily
papers.
If the cadaverous chap with the
"plug'' hat and star-spangled-banner
breeches, familiarly called ''Uncle
SAM" should swap clothes with "John
Bull" the result would be pictur-
esque; but his clothes would fit him
better than England's financial pol
icy fits American interest.

Do You See the Point?

The bankers on one street in New
York control the volume of money
in circulation. Their income is in
the form of interest. Debt is an es-
sential factor in the production of
interest. To produce interest is their
business.
Minnesota owes, according to the U.
S. census report, about $500, 900, 900 of
real estate debts, the evidences of
which are held in the east. A mini
mum rate of interest on this debt is
6 per cent-$12, 100000 annually!!
The price paid for wheat during the
last year did not cover the cost of
raising the grain. If congress an
swers the demand of Wall street for
the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act, thus reducing the vol
ume of money by nearly one-half, de-
probation of all values, except that
of gold, will follow. This includes
wheat. If the price of wheat is thus
further deprecated lit dropped two
cents in one day last week., how will
the people of Minnesota raise this
debt? The real estate debt must in
evitably be increased. More mortga-
ges, more interest!
Do you not see the animuS of the
gold gamblers in their clamOr for the
repeal of the Sherman act?

A New ORGANIZATION.

A meeting was held Sunday after
noon, the 18th inst, at Druid's Hall,
corner St. Peter and 7th streets, for
the purpose of organizing a society
for the study of political principles
and to promote the ends of good
government. An organization was
affected by the election of P. Brown,
Prest., A. w. M. Anderson Sec.,
John Erickson. financial secretary,
and John Lidberg, Treas. Meetings
will be held the first and third Sun
days in each month, at o'clock p.
M, in Druid's Hall. The society ex-
tends cordial invitation to all who
are in sympathy with the purpose
of the organization to attend the
meetings. The society has not yet
been formally christened, but it is
probable that it will be known as
the Scandinavian Socialistic De-
batting Club.
