NOTICE..

Our offer of the REPRESENTATIVE
for 13 weeks for Csc. is being heartily
responded to. But we want the
young men and women in the houses
of our friends to have an inducement
to get us up clubs by talking to their
neighbors. We therefore make this
special offer:
To any person who will send us s.. so
we will send the paper to ten parties
for thirteen weeks, and will also send
the getter-up of the club a soc. copy
of the Golden Bottle, postpaid.
We make the same offer to any per-
son who will send us $3.50, and
the names of five parties, or to
any person who will send us $500 and
the names of two subscribers.
Or, if they prefer it, we will send
the REPRESENTATIVE free for six
months to the getter-up of any such
club. h. sN ~ 4eA

Booming!

Our SPLENDID offer of the REP
REsENTAT1vE for ID weeks for 25c.,
has met with a big response. Sub
scriptions are pouring in from all
directions.
During the past two weeks we
have added ITO names to our list.
At this rate it will not require many
months to reach that 10000. Let all
our friends take hold with a will.
Stop euery man you meet on the hiqhaoay,
put a newspaper to has head, and ask
him for @5cl Local politicians who
desire to increase the populist vote
in their respective counties cannot
do better than chip in $40, and send
40 copies, free, to leading and think
ing men, in the county, of both the
old parties, for three months. That
is the cheapest way of electioneer-
ing. Forty copies scattered among
the best minds of all parts of coun-
ty will do a wonderful amount of
educating:-better than ten times
the amount of speech-making, in the
heat of campaign. Let local COM
mittees consider this, and act
promptly

HURRAH!
Good News From Virginia. The
P0pulist Vote.
An Increase from $4,000 to 1OO,.
600 in One Year.

The plutocratic press has suppress
ed all reports from Virginia. Not
word has appeared IN the daily papers
about the election in Virginia since
the 9Th of November, and we write
this on the 2lst. But Judge Gator, of
California, in a speech made in San
Francisco and published in the popu-
list paper, Fair Play, says:
"But in Virginia we have the real
key to the future. There we have
raised our vote from $1,000 last year
to over loo, 600 as now indicated. This
gain in single year, in the heart of
democracy, proves that we shall carry
several southern states in 1894. We
are much stronger to-day in Texas,
Georgia, Alabama and North Carroll
ma than in Virginia if vote could
be had"
So take heart, brethren. Don't let
the liars overwhelm you, or take away
your courage. God does not intend
that the devil shall take permao-
nent possession of the world. The day
is dawning.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Enclosed please SOC. for the REPRE-
SENTATIVE six months, commencing

it, although it is very hard times in
this part of Cass county. A great
many of the settlers depend on the
sale of cord wood while opening up
their farms, and the N. P. r. r. char
ges the same rate for wood as they do
for merchandise, SO we get nothing
for our wood after the freight is paid.
If we could get freight rates to St.
Paul, we would like to have some good
man start an alliance wood yard
there. You can buy good, dry jack
pine wood, loaded on the cars here,
for from $3.50 to $1.75 per cord.

While I believe that a sufficient

it would be advisable to hold the an

come to this conclusion after cOnsid-
ering all circumstances some of
which l knew nothing about week

place of meeting each year, and to
small cities, but this may not be the
best year to begin. If, however, the

to hold the meeting here, we will do
our best to raise the necessary funds
and to make the meeting success.

The REPRESENTATIVE regrets that
it inadvertently did an injustice, re-
Gently, to its esteemed friend Mr.. A.
4. Holston, county attorney of Polk
county and editor of the Crookston
Tribune. In q letter published in
connection with the petition for re-
duced rates on wheat, q sighting ref
erence was made to Mr.. Holston's
work in that behalf. As soon as our
attention was called to the matter
the letter was withdrawn. The
Tribune is q valued exchange. and
has done much to foster and encour-
age the movement for lower rates.

ATE CENTRAL, COMMITTEE.
A Good Suggestion.

That excellent and reliable popu-
list, j. I. Verm;iya, of Dover, sug-
gests that we try to arrange for a
campaign all over the state begin
ming December 1st. He thinks the
central committee of each congress
sional district should hold a meeting
about that time and arrange for an
active winter campaign-'lay out
the work and then push it," Let us
hear from Thomas J. Meighen, chair
man of the state central committee
of the peoples party, on this matter.
Would it not be good idea for him
to issue call to the congressional
and all county committees to move
on the enemy's works about Dec. lst.
We are sorry to hear that, on ac-
count of his wife's sickness, Mr..
Vermilya will not be able to attend
the Nov. 23d conference. He will be
missed.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1893-11-22

The reason these notices are sent
to you so late is owing to the uncer-
tainty as to when the executive
committee would meet. Mr.. Long
and myself both wishing to attend
that meeting, did not want any
appointment to interfere, since
date of meeting was published have
been corresponding and arranging
these meetings.
The houses at which these meet
ings will be held, will be stated on
the bills that are sent out.
We pledge ourselves to do our
part at these meetings, and hope for
good turn-Outs. There will be no
collections taken up; like "salva-
tion," these meetings will be free.

Interest Growing in Alliance
Work,

S. M. Owen says, in the last number
of Farm, Stock and Home:
Within a few weeks past the man
aging editor of the +. S. & H. has
had the opportunity of addressing
several meetings of farmers and local
business men, and the absorbing in
terest, the eagerness to learn, and
the enthusiasm with which the work
of education is being entered upon
were not only common to all, but
constitute the most cheering signs of
the times. The people of the coun-
try will not long suffer the wrongs OF
legislation if they will intelligent
ly exercise the power of that grand
sovereignty with which the fathers of
the republic endowed them. ''It is
not in their stars, but in themselves
if they be Slaves" and there is such a
thing as being slaves to conditions as
we'll as to human masters.

grown up from the same cause, and
those that have the power to remedy
it all belong to the same breed.

Horrible.

Here is a terrible statement illus
trating the inhumanity of man:
Crookston, Nov. 3.-Last year a far
mer living near Argyle bought some
farm machinery, and, like the major
ity of farmers last year gave his note
for the same, secured by mortgage on
the machinery. Things did not run
smoothly, and week ago his wife re-
ceived word from him that he was 60
ing away and not coming back. The
wife knew of the note and mortgage
for new machinery bought last year,
but concluded to let the agent fore
close the mortgage and take the ma
chinery. Yesterday the machine man
showed up, and judge her surprise
when he produced mortgage in
which was contained every article on
the farm and in the house, even to
the chickens running about the yard.
She protested, but to no avail, as the
agent proceeded to put things in
shape for removal. The poor woman
was crazed with grief at the loss of
both her husband and everything she
possessed in the world, and pleaded
with the agent for more time; but it
did no good. The machine agent
kept right on with his work and re-
moved everything from the place. AS
a consequence, the woman who had
seen SO much trouble in a few brief
weeks was taken through here last
night-a raving maniac on her way to
the asylum.
The county alliance Of Polk county
should investigate this matter. They
should publish the name of the law
yer who so ruthlessly enforced the
mortgage. And the husband who
would act as described, should be fol-
lowed to the ends of the earth and
denounced and boycotted by every
human being. And the next legisla-
ture should so amend the chattel
mortgage law as to make them of no
effect without the wife's signature,
as in the case of mortgages on real
estate.
But all this is an illustration of the
terrible tragedies in private life that
are going on in these times beneath
the quiet, placid surface of civilized
society. If the millennium is COM
ing it should hurry up.

He said, speaking of the poor and
wretched:
II am he who comes from the

in it the outbreak Of irresistible day.
You are the dark clouds of privilege.
Be afraid. The true master is about

is his son? Abuse. Neither chance
nor abuse is enduring. They have
both of them an evil tomorrow. 1
