The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1893-11-22
Thinking for Himself.

Senator Frank Day, of Martin Co.,
is very bright young man, and as
shrewd as they make them. have
heard him deliver off-hand speeches
in the state senate that would do
credit to congress. I am glad to see
that he is beginning to think for
himself. He is an outspoken advo-
cate of free silver.
He puts it strongly. thus:
cit is the crowning outrage in a
most high-handed conspiracy of the
rich against the poor. II the people
do not rise in their majesty and
thwart the diabolical schemes OF the
gold-bugs and open the doors of the
government mints to the coinage OF
silver, they have more patience and
humility than we give them credit
| for"
And again he says:
"The Moorhead News, one of the
strongest republican papers in the
state, is manfully fighting for silver,
and predicts that if the repeal of the
Sherman law is not followed by legis-
| lation favOrab BILE to the white metal
there will be revolution in the poll
tics of this country which will be dis
astrous to the old parties. In our
opinion there are enough heretics OF
Bro. Lamphere's stamp in the repub-
lican party to rescue it from the dom
ination of the bosses and bring it
back to bi-metallism-the gold and
silver of the constitution. If this
cannot be done the party better die
than live and the sooner it dies the
better"
But Frank is a politician, and
doubtless since the late election, and
the overwhelming victories for the
republican party, he is eating hum
BILE pie, and willing to take it all
back. II he stands firm, the popu
lists should hold out the hand of en-
couragement to him. But alas
strong men are scarcer than hens
| teeth. /. u.

\ GRAVE MISTAKE.
An Answer to HalvOr SteenerSOn.
The Celebrated "Milk Case.'

Hon. Halvor SteenersOn attorney
at law, of Crookston, writes a COM
munication to the Polk County Jour-
nal, in which he takes issue with our
Interpretation of the celebrated
"Milk Case" decision, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, (R. R.
Co. VS.. Minnesota 1874 q. S.. He
thinks that decision simply goes to
the extent that the action of the
railroad commissioners in fixing
rates on milk, from Northfield to St.
Paul, was null and void, because no
opportunity was given the railroad
company to be heard before the rate
was fixed. This was, we understand,
a misrepresentation by the court.
Ample notice soas given, by the COM
missioners, to the company and op-
portunity offered to be heard. But
the case, we are told, was "made-
up" case. The supreme court had
been packed by the great corpora
tions; and was ready to fire off it's
gun: and the "Milk case" was con-
trived to give it something to shoot
at; and it brought down the game
most beautifully. The decision was
such vast invasion of public rights
that the wording of it was made pur-
posely obscure; but we get at the
real meaning Of it by reading the dis
senting opinion of the minority of
the court, as expressed by Justice
Bradley. He said the court had al
ways held, prior to that time, that
the adjustment of rates was legis-
lative and not judicial prerogative.
On this point that celebrated judge
and honest man thus expressed him
self:
'"The state, in chartering a rail
road company, delegated a duty
which primarily was the duty Of the
state, that Of providing means OF in
ter-communication from one part of
| it's interior to another. 1t was the
leqislature's duty to fix the rates which
might be charged. 1t ecds the prerogo-
tive OF the legislature to name tcleut should
| be reasonable rate, AND ON THAT l
DIFFER FROM MY COLLEAGUES. WHO
HELD THAT THE FINAL TRIBUNAL OF
lARBITRAMENT WAS THE JUDICIAL.
The courts should neuer make an issue
Uith the Legislative department OF the gou-
e,nment, when it is possible to avoid
| it.
It might be asked if the public is
at the mercy Of the legislature? Yes.
| There had to be a 16naltribunal sonsc,olsere

Meighen at it's head. We men
tion Mr.. Meighen's name because he
took hold and sold four carloads OF
twine in Fillmore county, in the last
harvest. He is a practical, earnest
man. Let the local alliance in every
county take charge Of the matter as
agents for the state, with some rea-
sonable compensation for those who
do the work; and let us see to it that
when January. 1895, arrives, the sue
cess of the state manufacture of
twine is established beyond contro-
versy; and thus head off our persist
ent and greedy enemies.
Mr.. Wolfer tells me that the price
of twine can be still further reduced.
Is it not worth twenty cents year
of dues to keep up an organization
for this great work of self-protec-
tion?
So call your local alliances together
at once, and read this article to them:
and let the members discuss the sit
uaticn, collect the pittance of dues
and elect delegates to attend the an
nual convention. Don't slump
down, even if the times are hard. 1t

to decide eUery case. The courts. it the
matter is left to them, might reach
conclusion that would be thought
unjust. just as was alleged against
the commission, which was in this
case the representative Of the legis-
lature: just as committees would be
if the legislature itself had under
taken to fix rates.
The question was, which was the
proper final tribunal. In my judy
n1ent 1t Is the legislature"
Justice Bradley, and the other dis
senting judges, who joined with him,
clearly understood:
I. That prior to the "Milk case''
the supreme court of the United
States had always held, that the leg
islature had the right to fix rates on
railroad transportation.
II. That the "Milk case" reversed
all this, and took away that power
from the legislature and give it tC
the courts.
III. Heretofore the legislature
had been the ultimate tribunal OF
power.
w. Now the courts are.
V. Therefore this was a tremen.
dOus revolution in our form of gov.
ernment; by which the law-making
power, representing the whole people
is subordinated to another branch OF
the government the judicial.
vi. Therefore that "Milk case
swept away the sovereignty Of the
states and the people, and reduced
the commonwealth to a level with
the creatures it had created, to wit
the corporations.
For one, l am not willing to hum.

GRAFTON of 1856-ls6O greeted the Dred-
Scott decision; they attacked it in
every quarter; they denounced it,
they ridiculed it; they made Chief
Justice Tawney's life martyrdom;
they drove him into the grave; they
reused up the entire people and
revolutionized parties and recon-
structed the supreme court. This is
what we must do now. If any man
is foolish enough to think that the
corporations will let go their grip Of
the court they own, he will find him
self grievOusly mistaken. They pack

the court will protect them to the

fear of the aroused indignation of
fierce people can check that cOterie

An Age of Crime and Suicides.


The terrible conditions imposed up
on the people by the plutocracy
through the taoo old parties, are leading
to the most dsas trous and unhappy
results. We could fill this whole pa
per with the weekly record of mur-
ders, robberies, train-looting, forger-
les, arsons, suicides; and then we
would not reveal one-hundredth part
of the sufferings of the multitude of
which these are but the expression.
And the severity of the winter is not
yet on US.
Take this item:
yesterday afternoon the funeral
of Adolph Gloeser. Sr., who commit
ted suicide last Wednesday morning
by shooting himself with a revolver,
was held from the family residence
on the West side. Delegations of la
boring men attended the funeral
from the Trades and Labor assembly,
the cigar makers union, and the Sons
of Herman German society,""
Adolph Gloeser was one of the lead
ers of the peoples party Of St. Paul;
capable, earnest, honest, fiery soul,
who loved his fellow men and sought
to lift them up. He ended his own
life from sheer despair the morning
after the recent election, when he
saw how the people had rushed blind
ly. headlong from the democratic to
the republican party, returning like
the dog to it's vomit and the sow to
it's wallow; leaping from the arms of
Beelzebub into the arms of Moloch.
He despaired of humanity. He des-
paired of the capacity Of the working
people to save themselves from serf-
dom. He forgot that there is God
over all, who in his own good time
and way will redeem mankind from
bondage. For the Almighty cannot per-
NIT this republic to perish, sucked to
death by beastly, voracious, filthy
vampires.
Poor fellow! His faith gave way
and he died in despair,-because he
| loved his fellOwmen.
But brave hearts! Let us fight it
out until the flesh is hacked from the
bones. The cause is worth the lives
of a generation. And another gene.
ration and another will take up the
unfinished task until mankind is
saved. I'D.

HON. IGNATIUs DONNELLY:
Dear Sir: have been by nature and
the force of circumstances a republi-
can until lately. have become rath
er independent of late, especially
when voting; and am now almost
persuaded that both the old parties
have about outlived their usefulness
so far as the great mass of the Amer
ican people is concerned. In other
words, the leaders and office-holders
have grown gray in the service of
their parties, and rich in the backing
of corporations and milliOnaires,
whose will they seem ready and will
ling too often to obey, regardless
of the interests and rights of the
poorer people and great middle class
es, who are the backbone of this ma
tion. They seem to ignore the loyal
young men of the nation, and choose
to treat them as great babies, in
swaddling clothes. and unworthy of
consideration, except upon the eve of
elections, when their votes and inf1u-
ence will count for something. lam
tired of such stuff and believe the
American people are not always 60
ing to stand such nonsense. am not
an Office seeker, and am one of those
who believe that the office should
seek the man, and not the man the
Office.
What do you think of the prospect
for business prosperity within the
next six months or year? Are we 60
