Ihave examined the work, Labor

slider it a first class work, which should
be read by every one who is interested
in the reform movement and the prog
ress toward a higher civilization. The
more equitable distribution of wealth
is the great problem of the age, and
should be studied by every citizen, and
Labor and Capital" throws much
light upon the subject which every one
should know.

EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE:
AS an illustration of the kind of
slush Dr. Fish has been feeding the
people with, clip an extract from
recent number of the Great West:
''And yet again. Minnesota needs
strong men in the senate. The car
of peaceful revolution is moving
slowly on-and Minnesota is not upon
the quarter deck. with her trumpt
call and her sword drawn. Would to
God that she were in the arena"
What does all this mean?
The car of revolution moves on:
and Minnesota is not on the quarter
deck OF the car-with her trumpet call
druscn;-and would to God the shin
with the quarterback and the car
underneath it and the sword and the
trumpet call drawn were in the
arena. And what in thunder is the
arena? And what would a ship do in
an arena?

It is part of the purpose of estab-

ford a forum, in which the brightest
minds in the populist party and in
the farmers alliance can express and
compare their views. The paper will
not be responsible for the opinions
set forth, but will try to give all
sides OF the questions at issue fair
hearing. We would suggest to our

brief and to the point: not to ex-

TAXING RAILROAD LANDS THE
PEOPLE MUST HELP THEM,
SELVES

MIR. EDITOR:
If railroad lands and all OF her prop
erty escape the tax gatherer now. the
people can blame first their state and
county officials and then themselves
for by this act, passed on April 18th.
the method is clear and speedy. Tn
der it the governor shall. whenever
it is made to appear by a complaint
in writing and under oath. or by a
legislative committee or court report
that any cOnSiderab bic amount Of
property in any county has been
omitted from. or under-assessed in.
the roll for any year or years--select
some citizen not residing in such
county to examine tho matter and
report thereon.
Such party Shall prepare a list or
lists showing the names Of owners.
character and value of property for
each, year, assessed value of same.
actual value and difference. and file
On receipt of any such list the aud
itOr shall charge the amount Of taxes
against the property for each year.
with per cent interest from date
when same would have become de-
linquent, and the taxes on same shall.
from the date of such filing. become
a lien on all the real property in the
county owned by the party assessed.
and may be collected by levy and sale
of any property in said county owned
by said party.
This. then. is one of the measures
OF relief open to the people. and if
they do not seek ito avail themselves
thereof they alone are to blame.
since they must bear in mind that
official action can only be had by the
personal efforts of the individual. and
you have no right to blame officials
for non-action unless you first present
such official an array of facts.
That railroad lands can be but are
not taxed is truism. and it remains
to be seen how many men will take
advantage of the law and file a COM
plant with the governor, asking for
such taxation.
We want the people Of this state to
''either fish or cut bait" now that the
chance is afforded them for 50 doing.
and bear in mind that they can not
expect help unless they show will
ingnesS to help themselves.

Fusion.

Truth, in Farm, Stock and Home
1.-THE individual who insists that
what was done was a wrong to the
peoples party, by it's leaders, did not

republican leaders frantic with fear,

by the then peoples party organ
those four electors would have come
much nearer election. Only the
friends of the republicans should

The pOpulist leaders would have

what fools these mortals be. =
Shakespeare.
The above quotation is not only
too common. but it is also too weak
for our times. 1t might be all right
when Shakespeare or Bacon wrote it:
but now, any one under the rank of
Cardinal, who watches the actions Of
his fellowmen, ought to be allowed
to strengthen it by saying, What
id fools these mortals be-
Take for instance the action Of our
state Legislature. Talk about Nero
fiddling when Rome was burning" it
is not a circumstance to it.
Look at the condition of Minnesota
at the present time, business men
going under every day, farmers on the
verge of bankruptcy, and bankrupt,
money-loaners charging 20 per cent
interest, regardless of law against
usury, country millers breaking the
law by taking one-fourth-toll instead
of one-sixth-toll, in order to save
themselves from being swamped by
their powerful and INSCRIPTIONS
craftsmen in Minneapolis.
Indeed, it is the wealthy classes
who are the greatest law-breakers.
They are the ones who eyade their
just and lawful share of the taxes,
by hiding their wealth, and giving
an under valuation Of that which
cannot be hidden. But it is not our
purpose, now, to write of the sins
and lawlessness of the rich, for our
subject is folly" not crime. One

came in cold and wintry. and in order to
bear out the old proverb. it should go

and has given us about three weeks of
