We send specimen copies of this issue
to a great many of our friends. We want
every one to subscribe and get us up

and make each issue an improvement on

For the next three months we will furn-
ing) of 'CEsAR's COLUMN CDR HUGUET,' -
or GOLDEN BOTTLE" postage prepaid, for
81. The price of the paper alone is 81, and
the price of any of these books is fifty
cents, but we have made arrangements
with Mr.. DOnnelly to put his books so low
to subscribers for the paper that we can
furnish both paper and book for 81.
THIS MAKES THE PAPER COST BUT so CENTS
FOR A YEAR.
There is, of course, no money in pub
fishing a paper at these rates; but The
REPRESENTATIVE is not started to make
money; but to present certain views and
principles.
When club of six subscribers is sent in
with Sc. we will give one additional copy
free to the getter up of the club But we
cannot afford to give the extra copy and
premium book also. Parties desiring to
canvass a township ,Or county should
write to our business manager for terms.
We hope every friend of the cause will
take hold and press the work AT ONCE. We
are not rich enough to send out a great
many sample copies so, if you want the
paper subscribe at once.
While we would greatly prefer yearly
subscribers, yet, if any cannot, in cOnse-
quence of the low price of wheat, spare
the money for years subscription, we
will take fifty cents for six months.

The Guaranty Loan Co.

The suspension of the Guaranty
Loan Company of Minneapolis is an
event which should be considered
apart from the calamities which
have overtaken Minneapolis finan-
cial houses this week. There is rea
son to believe that the failure of
this concern is due to other causes
more than to the effect of the general
stringency of the Vaccinations of
Wall street pirates. Nov. 29th, 1890,
G. J. Bartleson, the attorney of the
Guaranty Loan company came to
Mr.. John Burke at Bound Brook New
Jersey, and requested him not to
publish any facts in New York in re-
gard to the Guaranty Loan company
until after his return to Minneapo-
lis. Mr.. Burke agreed on condition
that Mr.. Bartleson would furnish
to the directors all facts that
he should write him, and that on
his return they and he (Burke)
were to 60 over everything. He
wrote the attorney several letters
showing the facts, none of which
found their way to the directors.
In January, 1891, the following cir
cular, which had been prepared by
Mr.. Burke, was on his return to St.
Paul sent to Thomas Lowry, VIM.

a former attorney of some of the
parties assaulted Mr.. Burke in the
state library.
Mr.. Burke was seen but says but
little further than that he has only
told a fraction of the truth and
writes the Grand Jury of Hennepin
county to investigate the facts and
see how many if any of the directors
have been culpable.
1t is not pleasant to feel compelled
to criticise the acts of any official,
but in view of the wide publicity Civ

years it would seem that some state
official has been derelict and their

We do not wish unnecessarily to

Neither do we wish to make any I'M

the management of the company,
but it is right and best that the facts
should be known, and our columns
are open to the company or it's friends

fraudulent mismanagement has not
been permitted to wreck a great
financial institution, carrying with

BINDER TWINE.
Warden WOlfer Writes a Letter of
Importance to Farmers.

SALTWATER, May Is, '93.
HON. r. ECKFORD,
State Business Agent,
ST, Paul, Mimi.
MY DEAR SIR:-I see there is
large amount of samples of what is
claimed to be hemp binder Irvine
being sent about; upon examination
| find them to be nothing but poor
jute. A firm in Chicago, namely,
Smith & Frain, quote prices on A. No.
l American hemp Irvine, sample of
which was sent me and which is
made entirely of jute, and will not,
in my judgment, give satisfaction.
This class of twines are being sent
about the Northwest, and will fail to
give satisfaction. They have neither
the strength nor the evenness neces-
sary to successfully operate.
Thanking you for past favors, / am,
Very truly yours,

isn't it'about time that Minnesota
wiped out of existence the grand jury
farce? With that body out of the

When grand jury, presented with
the incontestible evidence of a mans
own letters containing irrefutable
proof of crime, refuses to indict the
criminal and thereby brands the
rogue an honest man-then the al
legged instrument Of justice is more
dangerous to the people than is the
criminal himself. Let the people
wipe it out of existence.

President Gompers, of the Ameri-

ing must if necessity beget in the
minds of the public confidence in the
financial standing and integrity of
it's management. Since it is to your
connection with it's management
that the institution owes all or nearly
all it's credit, and it is on the
strength of your names that the
widows the orphans, and the charit-
able institutions in the east may
have been induced to entruSt their
savings to the tender mercieS of the
individual who evidently has had too
much to say what disposition should
be made thereof.
The situation as disclosed by the
county records is a grave one, and

from the disclosures made by said
records, that the Northwestern Guar
anty Loan company is on the verge

in the hope that you will see your
way clearly to pursue the latter
course yourselves as plaintiffs rather
than as defendants, since the law is
such that you and each of you jointly
and seyerally are liable for every
dollar which may be found to have
been misapprOpriat ted whether with or
without your knowledge, provided
you have by silence or neglect acquis-
ced in these acts, for by that silence
or neglect to dicover the acts you
may have been accessory after if not
before the fact.
To one less charitably disposed the
records of the county disclose state
of affairs that might warrant sus-
picion that, on the part of one of the
officers of the company at least there
existed carefully executed plan to
wreck the company at the outset and
transfer it's monies to his pocket in re-
turn for alleged securities, which one
might be pardOned, from the circum-
Stantial evidence afforded by these
records for suspecting that both fraud
and conspiracy has been perpetrated
by some one.
Since 1884 Louis F. Menage, presi-
dent of the Northwestern Guaranty
Loan Co. has paid to Louis f. Menage

Effects of the War ON Silver.

liz SUSPENSION Oh Uno FARMERS ana
Merchants state bank of Minneapo-
lis was announced on Monday. The
announcement was made as incOn-
spicuous as possible and the daily pa
pers have practically suppressed the
news, alluSiOn to the matter being
confined to paragraphs in the regular
market report. This course was pur-
sued at the request of the bankers
in order to avert general panic and
was wise, not SO much because it pro-
tected the banks as for the reason
that the savings of the widow, the
orphan, the mechanic and the trades
man entrusted to the care of the f.
nancial institutions of the twin cities
were in imminent danger of being
swept away.
A run on the Farmers and Mechan-
les bank was also made on Monday by
frightened depositors, which con-
tinued, though with abated strength,
during Tuesday. The banking houses
of Minneapolis came to the rescue of
the besieged bank and kept it's doors
open so that it weathered the storm
and confidence was in measure re-
stored. The situation was rendered
still more critical by the rumor,
which scarcely needed confirmation,
that the Guaranty Loan company
would go down. The failure of three
great financial institutions at time
like this is dangerous thing, and
a general financial crash at the twin
cities was averted probably by the
promptness with which the crippled
banks were helped and by the allay-
ing of public apprehension by keep
ing the facts out of the papers.
The condition here is fairly indica-
tive of the condition throughout the
country. Everywhere the banks, in
anticipation of panic, are getting
under cover. Loans, even upon gilt
edged security are refused. We are
skating on thin ice.
Beneath all other causes for the
strained condition is the insufficiency
OF the volume of money in circula-
tion; but the direct and immediate
cause of it is the Wall street fight
against silver. What matters it to
these pirates if they wreck the for
tunes Of the widows and orphans, the
aged and infirm whose future main
tenance is intrusted to the care of
financial institutions they have
wrecked in their reasonable fight
against the government to force the
people to give them bonds in ex-
change for gold,
These developments harbingers
of the approaching storm-show the
extent and the satanic nature of the
money-power that rules the people.
