In our last issue we published an
interesting article from r. j. Hall,
upon S. F. No. 81. the bill which
places all country warehouses and
elevators under the control of the
board of railroad and warehouse
commissioners. in which Mr.. Hall
charges that the law. as passed, is in
furious to the grain-raiSers of the
state. We have since been called up-
on by a prominent republican and
asked to publish reply to Mr.. Halls
article from the pen of Hon. John
Zelch. Of Washington county, chair
man of the grain and warehouse
committee of the last House of Rep
resentatives. We do not see that we
can refuse this requst. AS we stated
in our first number we propose to
make the REPRESENTATIVE
forum" in which all questions i'm
portant to the producing classes shall
be discussed. Let the truth be made
manifest, no matter whom it hurts.
And so We will gladly make room for
Mr.. Zelch's article in our next issue:
and We have written r. J. Hall
that we will be glad to have him re-
ply to it..

The associated press published
statement to the effect that Exon
gresham Watson, of Georgia, had
abandoned the populists, and report
ed him as having said that if the
democratic party carried out it's
promises there was no room for
third party. The following grand
utterance from one of Mr.. Watson's
speeches makes the lying methods of
the associated press look infinitely
small and mean:
Bearing malice to no human be-
ing; giving charity of opinion and
asking it: wishing always to be fair
and courteous and cOnciliatory, feel
bound to say that under no circum-
stances will l falter in the path l

/ believe to be right, or desert the
people who have been so Splendidly
true to me.
Every dictate of common honesty,
of self-respect and loyalty; every feel
ing of patriotism, Of regard for the
future of this great country, and of
sympathy with my fellOw-men render
it absolutely impossible for me to
harbor the thought of giving up the
! fight for better law, brighter homes
and happier lives until every word
my lips can utter has been spoken,
and every line my pen can write has
been written.

me here is generous and cordial re-
lationship if he will have it SO. But

Who We Will Jump on.

The Slayton Gazette accuses us of
inconsistency in jumping upon a
local paper because it differed with
us in the matter Of holding annual
session.
When the REPRESENTATIVE said
it did not intend to jump on those
who differed from it. it referred to
members of the alliance and peoples
party men. 1t believes in the widest
liberation among those who
have the same ends in view. But for
outsiders. God-forsaken fools, or adj
vocates of plutocracy and enemies Of
the people, it proposes to jump on
them with spikes in its boots,
and weighing ten thousand pounds
to the square inch.

This number of the REPRESENTA-
TIVE is gotten up in our own Office,
No. 673 Wabasha street, and is print
ed from our own type and material.
Since our first number was issued
subscriptions for the paper and for
stock have exceeded our most san
guine anticipatiOns, and we have
been enabled thereby to purchase
this splendid new printing outfit. It
is not all paid for but it is not mort
gagged, and it is YOURs-your money
has bought it,-it is under the con-
troll of your officers, and cannot be
sold out and it's guns turned upon

first service of the new material
is to help smash ''corner" in

The American Type Founders
Company is the name of new corpo-
ration that has gained absolute con-
troll of % Of the q type boundaries in
the United States In the circular
issued by the promoters OF the trust
it is asserted that the joint profits of
the several foundries averaged $780,
600 per annum for three years and
that the yearly profits under the
management of the trust will be
81, 200, 900. Not satisfied with legiti-
mate profits the gentlemen of the
trust combine against their patrons
to increase their joint earnings a
million, dollars year by economies
effected and by refusing to compete
with each other. The four foundries
that refused to go into the trust are
the only barriers between the news
paper and other publishers and the
rapacity of the combine. Our splen-

from the Minnesota Type Foundry,

We send specimen copies of this issue
to a great many of our friends. We want
every one to subscribe and get us up q
club in his neighbOrhOOd. We shall try
and make each issue an improvement on
the last.
For the next three months we will furn-
ish the paper and one copy lpaper bind,
ing) of 'CESARS COLUMN, ," 'DR. HUGUET,"
or golden BOTTLE" postage prepaid, for
ST. The price of the pa per 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 u 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 S., 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
tht money for years subscriptions. We
WILL take fifty cents for six months.

A Populist Congressman Initiates
Great Work.

Minnesota's only populist congress
man, Hon. II. E. Boon, justifies the
confidence of the people by initiating
an important enterprise.
The Big Stone Co. Journal says:
Congressman Boon is agitating a
move that strikes the popular chord.
1t is the most important one yet pro-
mulgated by any representative of
the seventh district. He proposes to
relieve the Red River country of the
surplus water to which it is subject
almost annually, by running the
head waters of the Red River, south,
by means of a canal from Big Stone
to Traverse Lake, Big Stone lake to
be dyked at the foot Thus it will be
seen that the scheme includes i'm
pOrtant features, either of which are
worthy of the expenditure of public
funds required. viz: slack water
navigation from Ortonville north,
the drainage of valuable lands in the
Red River country and the establish
ment of an immense reservoir for the
Mississippi river. The scheme is
feasible and practical and has the
hearty support of Minnesota and the
Dakotas. Petitions demanding early
action by Congress on this matter are
now being circulated and univer sally
signed. This is move in the right
direction and one that is demanded
by the people.

ST. PAUL. ADril 1. 1898.

EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE:
Will you please state the law which
governs the wages of labor in this
country, and oblige one who has read
with interest the first number Of
your paper. P. T. A.
An adequate answer to the ques-
ton which our correspondent asks
would plunge us into the depths of
the subject of social economy, and
would necessarily extend far beyond
the bounds of newspaper article.
If we were to present the answer
that lies nearest the surface, we
should say that immigration brings
to our shores the unemployed labor
of Europe, that the importations
of pauper labor by the owners Of
mining and manufacturing indus
tries greatly augment the accessions
to the ranks Of labor; that the latter
class of laborers subsists upon quail
ity of food that no civilized people
could eat except as an alternative
for starvation; that this class
of laborers is content with wag-
es that provides them with
trifie more than animal existence !:
and that these conditions furnish the
law which governs the price of labor.
However patent these facts, how
ever cOgent the reasoning, yet they
are superficial; deeper principle
underlies the question of which the
foregoing facts are but incidental
and temporary conditions. The Or
ganization of labor is the temporary
and wise cxpedient which has been
applied to this temporary condition.
But for labor to content itself with
devising makeshift means to meet
present emergencies and close it's
eyes to the underlying, permanent,
persistent and aggressive forces that
have produced the present unjust So
cial condition, would be as unwise
and suicidal, as the remedy at pres
ent in vogue is useless and Intellectual
as means of coping with those
forces.
The root of the evil is in vicious
laws.
The soil of Ireland is owned by
few landlords. The lands are an
nually put up for rental to the high
est bidder The farmer estimates
what net revenue can be derived from
the closest tillage of the land. He
then estimates the smallest amount
upon which his family can subSist,
and by subtracting the latter from
the former sum, arrives at the
amount of his bid for the rent.
When the bids are all made the
farmer who can get the most revenue
from the land and can support his
family for the least amount gets the
the land. The landlord gets all there
is in 1.-THE tenent is permitted to
live. What is the root of the evil?
The monopoly which the landlord en-
joys in the ownership of the soil.
If farm laborer wants work, where
these conditions prevail, what is his
salary? It is fixed-it is the smallest
sum upon which he can survive.
Now suppose the soil were free! What
then would be the law of wages? If
the farm laborer was offered for his
services only an amount sufficient to
keep him, would he not at once turn
to the soil and work piece of land
for himself, and receive the entire
fruits of his labor?
