Stay! Stay! Stay!

stay! 0tdy! stay!
To the Governors of the Several
States, to Hon. Ignatus Donnelly,
III. E. Boon. S. M. Owen. w. w.
Gamble, and others in general, and
the people of Minnesota in partic-
ular:
Hard times are here and seem to be
here to stay, if something is not done
soon.
Business men have stopped giving
credit and are doing business on a
strictly cash basis. Now why not ex-
tend the system and continue on a
cash basis?
How?
BY calling special sessions of the
legislatures of the several states of
the Union and passing stay laws for
three or four years; that is, suspend
the payment of debts and interests
for three or four years and give the
poor chance to save enough to get
out of debt. JAMES P. EMM.
No exigency greater than that of
the present hour has confronted the
American people since the republic
was established. The western men in
congress are making a splendid fight
for the salvation of the country from
the rapacity of the money-kings, but
meantime the people are in distress
and measures for their immediate re-
lief are needed. Mr.. Emm talks to
the point. We hope his suggestion
may provoke discuSsiOn.-ED.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1893-10-18

The farmer does some more figuring.
In 1857 the salary OF the clerks Office
was about $1,000. 1t is the same in
1893. Two thousand dollars in 1893
will buy, on an average, three times
as much of all the farmer produces
as it would in 1867. So everything is
all right-for the clerk. Why should
he want change? Mr.. Farmer now
begins to open his eyes. 1t seems
like everybody is getting more value
for the same amount of work in 1893
than they did 1867, except the farmer,
and he don't get one-half as much.
He now becomes earnest. He gets
down statistical abstract and finds
that the congressmen's salary repre-
sents now, about four times as much
real value as it did in 1867. So does
the presidents salary. Had the price
of farm products remained the same
the salaries of all government officers
would have had to be increased from
three to four fold in order to rep
resent the value of as much property
as they do now. The farmer found it
was true also of the banker, the
bondholder and the owners of notes
and other evidences of Indebtedness.
In 1867 the presidents salary could
have been paid with the money OBJ
tanned for $4,000 bushels of wheat, or
335 bales of cotton. Now it would re-
quire 10000 bushels of wheat or 1 800
bales of cotton to obtain the same
amount of money. Notes, bonds and
money have increased in value.
Salaries have appreciated. Even
idleness is better paid than it was in
1867. Where does all this come from?
Somebody loses it. Somebody pays
the freight. Who is it? 1t is the
farmer. He is intelligent enough to
have discovered that. Where has the
value of his property and labor gone.
Squeezed into the dollar, the bond,
the note and mortgage, and the sal
airy of the government official All
these fellows are trying to make the
farmer believe everything is all right.
That they are looking after his in
terests. They want him to continue
to shake the potato bugs off the vines
and keep the weeds out of the crops,
and they will run the government.
If the farmer does this he is the
"bone and. sinew," "the bulwark of
the nation" "the patriot" and all
that. If he don't. if he refuses to be
robbed while every body else is better
off, if he kicks and refuses to take
the medicine issued out to him every
two years by political demagogues
when they want an office, he is
crank, lunatic, dolt, an anarchist.
a calamity bowler, and bad man
generally.

The efforts that have been made during

been 90 far successful that now nothing is
moro exceptional than to hear anything
immoral or offensive at our best theaters.
On the extremely rare occasions when l

not only witnessed the noble Shake
spearean revivals Of Mr.. Charles Kean
and Mr.. Irving. but have seen modern
plays absolutely innocent and morally
elevating. The clergy-including their
highest dignltaries-have heartily well
coined the endeavor to rescue from misuse
by the world, the flesh and the devil q
form of recreation which may in itself be
eIevating and salutary. But if sacred per-
sonages were to be presented in plays
