The REPRESENTATIVE is your
official paper, established and con-
trolled by the State Central Com
mittee. 1t is your paper, and it's
success is y0ur success. You want
the cause to succeed, but it cannot
do SO unless your paper succeeds.
Hear how the official paper of the
Georgia alliance talks to it's readers.
1t says:
eve want $4,000 subscribers in
Georgia by the first of May. 1t will
pay you to get them.
First, let every Sub-alliance send
ten yearly subscriptions at Is cents
each. Then let each one Of these
ten get at least one new subscriber
between the meetings of his SUBJ
alliance and send in.
In little while you would find the
$4,000 subscribers on the list and
your membership more than doubled.
The paper would command an adj
vertlsing patronage and would be
the pride Of the order. 5
Put your shoulder to the wheel
now and let us do this. We can if
we will only work.
Start it at your next meeting."
Put this plan into operation, in Min
nesOta and we will double the mem
bership of sub-alliances. All that
is needed to the success of our cause
is to get the public ear. Give the
people all the facts and figures and the
logic of events will do the rest.
If dollars are too hard to get, send
us CSC subscriptions tor Is aceeks This
is practicable. No farmer is so hard
up but he can spare Is cents for
reading matter to while away the
long winter evenings. This divides
by four the work of getting the
$4,000.
Try it.

An Honest Man.

Justice Harlan, of the United
States supreme court, recently OBJ
served in prOmiscuous company
that in his opinion half of the men
in Wall Street should be in states
prison. Certain men of prominent e
in Wall Street endeavored to get
from Judge Harlan a denial of the
remarks attributed to him, but he
declined to retract his ugly words.
Good for Judge Harlan! He under
stated the fact instead of over-stat-
ing it.
We have scores of men in the peni-
Tertiary at Saltwater who are hon
ester and better than the fellows
who are running" Cleveland and
dominating the whole country.
We want new deal to get them

The influence of the REPRESENTA-

Atlantic to the Pacific. We have
subscribers in nearly every state of
the Union: and the $3.50 for three

More Villainy.

And now Hon. John W. Arctander,
leading attorney of Minneapolis,
makes affidavit, that State Treasur-
er Joseph Bobleter, has,-to speak
plainly,-been swindling the people
of the state. The statutes provide
that the state treasurer shall place
the public funds in banks of his Sc
lection, in the name of the state, and
the banks shall pay the state not
less than three per cent per annum
for the use of such funds. Mr.. Arc
lander swears that the state treaSu-
rer deposited the states moneys in
has oaon name, in "shaky" banks in
Minneapolis, which subsequently
failed; and that he arranged to get 3
per cent for the state and 2.5 per cent
for himself! These latter payments
were entered by the bank "on the ex-
pense account" OF course the bet
ter class of banks would not pay ST
per cent for money, and hence Bob
Letter, to make his individual profit,
was forced to trust the peoples mon
ey to the hands of concerns trem-
bling on the brink of bankruptcy. A
lot of this money is now tied up and
will be probably lost, and will have to
be made up by taxation of the afflict-
ed and struggling people.
Is it not time for a new deal, and
to have the books at the capitol over
hauled?

The way the associated pre-.

The way the associated press
buries the election news from Vir-
ginia is very significant. The asso-
ciated press claimed $4,000 democrat
ic majority on the night of election
and the Pioneer Press said "Praise
God" Since then there has not been
a word from Virginia. This means
that the democrats are counting the
votes up to $4,000. The populists
were not allowed one Judge of cleo

discusses the ACCESSIBILITY of change

eliminating silver from our platform

notes, because of the defeat of the
silver men in congress. Mr.. Ringdal
did not of course expect that the
views presented would receive the
unqualified endorsement of the REP

to his suggestion a cordial invitation
for a general discussion of the sub
ject in the REPRESENTATIVE
