Honor to a Brave Man.

A worthy friend, but a misguided
one, took the REPRESENTATIVE to
task not long since, for publishing
the portrait of a democratic judge
who had shown some leanings to the
side Of the producing classes, simply
because he was a democrat. But
there is another democrat whose pic
ture we would be glad to publish if
we had it,-that is Hon. Richard P.
Bland of Mo. He told the democrats
of the east the other day in congress,
that the southern and western demo-
Gratis would see to it that "no political
party should be permitted to survive
that proposed to confiscate the prop
erty of the people of the United
States in the interest of England" !"
He added:
81 say it shall not be done. Re-
newed applause. And anybody or
any party that undertakes to do it,,
will, in Gods name, be trampled-as
it ought to be-in the dust of con-
demnation, now and in the future
Continued applause on the floor and
In the galleries.
Now you can take your choice of
sustaining America against England
of sustaining American industries
and American labOrerS against Eng
lish industries and English laborers,
or of our going apart. We have come
to the parting of the way"
Now this is heroic. All honor to
the. man that uttered it, l care not
whether he call himself democrat,
republican, or populist. This is the
spirit of American patriotism, which
rises above the limitations of parti-
sanship. This is the spirit that
alone can save the nation.
For one I have not the smallest
particle of malice or hatred against
any democrat or republican who is
following the light of his best judg-
ment and trying to do right as he un-
derstands it. If he thinks he is right
for all moral purposes he is right.

"A Good Lesson.

Brother populists-brother produc-
ers-I want you to read the follow
ing utterance of banker, and note
the arrogance with which these fel-
lows, who are not one in ten thous-
and of the population, undertake
to rule the sixty-five or seventy mill
ions of people of these United
States. 1t is enough to make man
reach out his hand for his cudgel,
and electric shocks to run down his
right arm. Read and think:
II don't think bankers will ever
be a power and shape the financial
policy OF the country as we should,
so long as we think more of our po-
litical party than we do of the fin
ancial and material interests of the
country" said J. Milliken, of De-
catur, Ill. "Our party will put up a
candidate because of some supposed
availability. We know that he will
vote to impose legislation which is
dangerous. We know he will vote
for unfriendly laws which will ham,
per railroads and disturb values,
yet we go to the polls and cast our
ballots for such candidates because
they are on the ticket of our party.
If the bankers of the country had
acted together when the Sherman
and the Bland bills came up, the
OO,OO0, 900 of gold in the country
would be in the banks to-day instead
of being boarded in the safety de-
pOsit vaults of the country. From
what I have learned of the condition
of the Chicago safety deposit con-
Germs, | believe that IS per cent of
the money which has been drawn
out of the banks and out of circula-
tiOn recently is in the form of gold,
which is being boarded by individu-
ais in the expectation that silver
may send gold to premium. The
result is the Stringency which the
country is feeling. And we can't
blame people for putting the gold
away. / think we could control fin
ancial legislation. If we had the
nerve we could at least compel our
parties to put up straight. square
men. We are too timid. We ought
to say to our parties, when they are
about to select improper candidates.
eff you nominate that man we will
not vote for him. '"
And note this man thinks that
bankers should drop all party dis
tinctions and go in for power.
Brother farmers and wOrkmen
would it be good idea for you to do
the same thing? Why not boldly
say to the old parties,-nominate
men who represent our ideas and in
terests or count us out? That ut
terance of the Decatur, Ill. banker
is good lesson to all our people.

Free Coinage Propaganda.

A circular from the propaganda

mittee has adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That this committee

ANCE. WEDNESDAY,, Is,

interest or commissions, more than
ten per cent on your loan. II you
have, take a witness and go to the
owner of the mortgage, or his agent,
and say to him:-"Your mortgage is
usurious. l can have it wiped out
and my farm freed from it. l do
not want to wrong you out of pen
ny:-but you took an illegal advan-
tage of my necessities. Cut down
your claim to legal interest; call the
interest for the future six per cent.
per annum, and 1 will try to work
it out Of the land. If this is not
satisfactory go ahead and 1 will fight
your claim"
In ninety-nine cases out of hund-
red the mortgage will agree to these
terms:-he knows that he is at your
mercy; he knows that in these times
no man can pay ten per cent per
year;-that even six per cent is a
big rate; he will respect you the
more because under the same cir
cumstances he would adopt that
very course himself: he will, in time
get back his money and interest.
What more has he, in conscience,
any right to? You are justified in
fighting for your home. See how
the birds defend their nests and the
badgers their holes in the ground.
II the mortgage will not accept
your terms let him 60 to law. En-
ploy good attorney;-prove, to the
satisfaction of jury, that he got
more than 10 per cent. a year from
you, and you can knock him and his
mortgage galley-west. The law is
just as good for you as it is for him.
Hang on to your land to the last
gasp. There are no more Mime
sofas on the planet; and every day
the battle of life will grow fiercer.

Trying to Boom il.

The bank of England having sue
ceeded in controlling the American
house of representatives, to de-
monetize silver, is now hard at work
to save it's miserable tools of getting
up a boom in American business.
The bank of England at once re-
duced it's rates of discount; and
numerous orders were sent to New
York to buy up American stocks.
The London Times doubts whether
conditions justify the bank in re-
ducing rates of discounts; and the
bank replies that it's action is due
to the heary majority IN congress against
free sslver! But wheat fell off; and
there was, says the Minneapolis Tri-
bune, "a weak and featurless mark
et." Strange to say silver did not
tumble. The demand of China, ia
pan, India, etc. it is thought will
keep up prices. The end is not yet.

JUST AS EXPECTED.
How the POpulists are Treated
by Their Allies,

by Their Allies.
In Kansas the populists held the
balance of power, and had a much
larger vote in the legislature than
the democrats; but they had not
votes enough to elect one of their
own men; and so they took up a dem
ocrat, who had appeared to sympa-
thize with them, a Mr.. John Martin,
and elected him as choice of evils.
What is the result? Here we have
it:
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. Ex-senator
John Martin is now a pronounced
administration man, not because of
any special influences brought to
bear upon him, but because he sees
in this decision the foundation of a
strong democratic party in Kansas.
Heretofore he has been inclined to
favor some of the heresies of the
populists, whose votes elected him,
but he no longer wavers. The night
before he started for Washington he
addressed the Democratic Flambeau
Club, the leading political organiza-
tion of this state, and advised
against any further fusion with the
populists. He declared that that
party was near it's end, and that,
like the old greenback and union
labor parties, four out of five of it's
members would go into the demo-
cratic rather than return to the re-
publican party.
He also announced his opposition
to the Sherman bill even while IA
voring the coinage of silver on such
terms as his party might determine
hereafter. He would vote for the
repeal of the present law uncondi-
tionally and then endeavor to secure
the needed silver legislation, pro-
vided there was no conflict with the
single-standard.
And this is just what might have
been expected. Having crawled up
by the populist ladder ina state
that never has been and never will
be democratic, John Martin, to Sc
cure a share of Cleveland's patron
age, kicked down the ladder he rose
by, and tells the populists to go to
his satanic majesty.
Brethern,-let us stand by our own
men and our own principles. Let us
nominate our own ticket, of tried
and true men. If the democrats or
republicans chose to vote for our no
minees that is none of our business,
provided we yield nothing in re-
turn. If either of the old parties
comes to us and says,-"If you will
nominate So-and-sO he will suit u.s."
be assured sO-and-so is a skalawag,
and has secret understanding with
the powers that rule the old parties,
and has agreed to sell you out. 1t
is better that you have an enemy in
office than traitor. You can con-
tinue the fight againstethe enemy,
but the traitor disgraces, divides
and demoralizes you.
Keep in the middle of the road.''
