Very few people, even the mothers
themselves, seem to have very correct
ideas of what the baby suffers during
warm weather. The poor little thing

prickly heat and cries-as indeed who
wouldn't? When the little sufferer
gets in this condition, get piece of old
linen, wash it in soap-suds, rinse it
thoroughly in clear water, dry it, iron
it out smoothly, take off all the baby's
clothing except the little shirt and
wrap the baby up in this bit of linen
and lay it away in a cool place, like

struction of silver at the approach
ing special session of congress was
shown at Mankato the other day
when they caused the board of trade
of that town to assemble itself in
solemn session and admonish the
people that their national existence
depends upon the immediate repeal
of the Sherman law and to forward
copies of their resolutions to all the
national legislators.
The Mankato ''board of trade" has
been in existence twenty-five years,
during which time it has never been
known to be in session. It has been
in comatose state; it's sleep has
been as profound and untroubled as
that of an Egyptian mummy, and it
is barbarous on the part of the gold
bugs to rudely disturb it merely
because they are scared at the pros
pect of losing control of the peoples

Last weeks REPRESENTATIVE con-
tanned the final paper of Mr.. Burke's
series of papers on the history of the
Great Northern railroad apropos of
the late demonstrate in St. Paul in
honor of it's completion. In the first
paper evidence was introduced from
which the presumption is fair that
the actual cost of the road was about
$4,000 per mile, and that it is bond
ed and stocked for about $4,000 per
mile, and that the difference repre-
sents the amount of water upon
which the people are paying interest.
If Mr.. Burke's conclusions are true,
they show that Mr.. Hills company is
neither better nor worse in this re-
spect than other railroad companies
and they show the necessity for gov
eminent ownership and control of
railroads. The last paper of the SER
les relates the history of the acquisi-
tion of the road by its present own
ers. If any of the facts alleged do
injustice to Mr.. Hill or to the Great
Northern, we shall be glad to open
our columns for the publication of
any statement Mr.. Hill or his friends
may desire to make.

At MOOrhead.
MOORHEAD, July 2, '93


The county alliance of Clay county
met on July 1st, and was addressed
by John II. Burke. Mr. Burke ar
raigned certain state officials and
prominent politicians. Making seri-
GUS and specific charges of crime,
giving names, dates, facts and proof.
His denunciations of Nelson, Pills
bury and others were severe, direct,
and binding, and challenge issued to
all to dare cause his arrest, finally
stating as reason why he would not
be arrested the fact that he had him
self turned the tables by asking the
grand jury to investigate all their
acts.
He hit the pillars of the church
and timber land pirates whack,
and scored the Regents of the
University for not keeping books of
account, also scoring G. A Smith &
Co. (Pillsbury), for their deals in
school lands.
One direct result of this speech
and the charges made is the subse-
quent action Of Gov. Nelson in de-
handing that Smith & Co., pills
bury pay for the timber they have
cut.
Hit 'em again Burke! LIsTNER.

The .populist candidates for the
supreme judgeship in South Dakota
are H. H. Potter of Aberdeen, S. D.
Fairbanks of .Deadwood, and G. H.
Kennedy of Canton. There is danger
in the existing tendency to fill va
cancies in the Supreme court from
the ranks of corporation lawyers.
And the tendency of the courts to
usurp the functions of the legisla-
tive and the executive branches of
the government is menace to
American liberty. The courts, the
only bulwark that stands between
the peoples rights and the aggres-
sions of Greed, are becoming a refuge
for monopolies and trusts. The cleo
tion of populist judges who stand on
the Omaha platform, is the most ur-
gent duty that rests upon the peo-
pies party of South Dakota.

Congressman Boon Talks.

Congressman Boon of Fergus Falls
was in the city yesterday. In re-
Spouse to an inquiry of the REPRE-
SENTATIVE man Mr.. Boon said he was
not on his way to Washington to at
tend the special session, but came
down to Minneapolis to attend to pri-
vate business matters. When asked
his opinion on financial matters he
said: 'The national platform of the
peoples party which is, suppose, our
guide in that matter, declares in IA
vor of unrestricted coinage of silver
at the present ratio of Is to1. That
was under the then existing condi-
tions; but the suspension of free
coinage in India may have altered
the status of affairs somewhat.
What are your views in regard to a
paper currency?
What we want is more mOney-a
debt-poying money, not a debt-creat-
ing money.
AS l understand it we are now pay
ing interest on nearly every dollar in
existence in this country. l would
issue five hundred million dollars
In legal tender treasury notes every
year for three years and pay it
out for services rendered and ma
terials furnished to the government.
That would make fifteen hundred
million dollars, and would increase
our money little over seven dollars
head each year or twenty-five dol
lars per capita in three years, which
together with the money now in ex-
istence would make about forty dol
lars per capita.
| would then pay up the national
debt, and stop the interest. That
would destroy the national banks as
banks of issue and would make it
more difficult for the banks to con-
troll the money, in fact 1 think it
would make it impossible for them to
do so.
With the nation out of the field as
a borrower, American capitalists
would have to invest in other Ameri-
can securities. That would send
American gold abroad to buy Ameri-
can railroad bonds and other securi-
ties.
That would increase the money
volume in Europe, raise prices there,
and create a demand for American
wheat, corn, cotton, ETC., and bring
the gold to this country once more.
The American Farmers would then
be the gold bugs, this country free in
fact as in name; English interference
in and control of American finance
would be at an end, and with people
enjoying the results of their own
toll, and the country not sending
dollar abroad for tribute in the
shape of interest, it would in true
sense be: "America for the Ameri-
cans"

Silver is an unlimited legal tender,
made such by the Sherman law. Pri-
or to the passage of that law and
since 1878, it has had legal tender
power only in sums of SIS or less. To
repeal the Sherman law would be to
demonetize silver and take coined sill
yer and silver certificates out of cir
culation and reduce the country to a
gold basis. The money power with
the cooperation of the democratic
administration by manipulating the
currency has precipitated financial
panic which it falsely attributes to
the effect Of the Sherman law with
the Interior object Of forcing the re-
peal Of that law.

Standard of Value.

''What magnificent STANDARD of
value" silver is, to be sure; a stand
ard that varied in price from seventy
two to sixty-twO cents and back to
seventy-twO cents, all in three days.
What a magnificent standard"
that depends altogether on the
whims of mine owners who get up in
the morning and note the direction
of the wind before they determine
whether their mines shall be oper-
ated that day. A ''standard" of this
kind is about as much to be depend
ed on as would a fertilization of
mush against one of the Krupp
guns"
Thousands of people who are de-
MED any intelligent source of infor-
nation, base their opinions on fnan-
cial matters upon such fool stuff as
the above paragraph, which we have
taken from the Fargo Argus. If the
author of that paragraph had
''mQsh'' in the place of his alleged
brains he would write more to the
point. Silver is not ''standard of
value" in any sense; it was demone-
tized twenty years ago and is now,
like potatoes or cabbage, commo-
dity, and it's value is determined by
precisely the same laws that govern
the value of all other commodities;
it's value is measured by the gold dol
lar which is the only standard this
country possesses. Restore to silver
it's constitutional free-coinage right
and full-legal-tender power, such as
it always had prior to the crime of
1873, and such as gold has now, and
it will again become as stable as
gold, and it's price will raise to SIPS
an ounce. Under free coinage silver
has never failed to maintain it's place
by the side of gold, and when de-
monetized in 1873, was worth more
than gold on the ratio of Is to 1.
Since the first coinage law was
passed in 1892 the weight of gold coins
has been changed at least twice,
while the silver dollar has to-day and
has always had precisely the same
weight of pure silver that it had in
colonial times. Gold is not a safe
and stable standard by which to
measure values. 1t is treacherous.
The comparison to "a fertilization of
mush' may be applied to that metal
with aptness and truth. For gold
has deserted every people that ever
depended upon it in the emergency of
war, just as it did our own govern
ment during the civil war. If bullion
silver did fluctuate 10 cents in price
in Y hours the coined dollar passed
everywhere during that time for 100
cents.

Call for a National Convention
of the American Bimetal.
lie League.
Let the People Rally.

SUN BUILDING, WASHINGTON, d. G.
July 4, 1898.
The recent elimination of events
of the greatest moment to the
people Of this country calls for wise
counsel and determined action on
the part of all patriotic ciizens. A
concerted purpose is manifested to
seize upon the present opportunity to
destroy silver as money and estab-
lish finally and forever the single
gold standard, and at one stroke to
change all debts to gold debts, with
a never-ending rise of gold and fall
of prices.
A financial disturbance, largely
artificial and needless, has been Gre
ated as an "object lesson" and false
ly attributed to the present silver
law, in order out of it to create a
manifestation of public sentiment,
under cover of which the greater
crime of overthrowing the money OF
the Constitution and establishing
the single gold standard may be con-
summated. AS part of the same
great conspiracy the minis Of India
have been closed, and the shock is
felt around the world.
Congress has been called to meet
in extra session on August I. If
at this session the money standard
of the Constitution is OverthrOwn
and the single gold standard is final
ly established, to be extended over
the world, an economic revolution
will have been inaugurated more
disastrous to the welfare Of man
kind, and especially to the produc-
ing and laboring classes, than any
in the history of the world.
In view, therefore, of the threat
ening conditions that have arisen,
and in answer to numerous appeals
for action, the executive committee
of the American Bimetallic League
has deemed it proper to call a ma
tiOnal convention to be held at Chi
cago, beginning August 1 and to con-
tinue as long as the convention may
direct.
All members of the League are
urged to attend, and all who are in
favor of maintaining the money of
the Constitution and opposed to the
establishment of the single gold
standard in the United States, with
out regard to party, are invited to
attend and participate in the DELHI
erations of the convention. All
economic associations and all indus
trial organizations are requested to
send delegates to this convention.
A special invitation is extended to
members of Congress and members
of State Legislatures. Governors of
States are requested to appoint as
many delegates as they may deem
proper.
