BELGIUM QUIET.
Granting of Universal Suffrage
A1iays Agitation.

UCaNCin& Oh universal Suffrage
A1iays Agitation.
BRUSSELS, April 19.-Yesterday's
elections of the chamber of depu-
ties granting universal suffrage
practically as demanded Dy
the workingmen, has allayed
the agitation among the Industrial
population. The strikers here, at
Antwerp and at all other
places, resumed work this
morning and no further
trouble is apprehended. Suffrage,
heretofore held by 1907 persons,
will be extended, under the new
system, to over 100000. Of the
100, 900 previously enjoying the fran
chise, most of them will have three
votes each. But 1000, 900 of the new
voters will have two or three
votes each and the property classes
cannot hope to capture the chamber
at the next election. The senate
will no doubt heed the demand of
the people and act favorably upon
the suffrage measure.

The Cruel Domination of Gold
Alliance Libraries.

To the Editor of The REPRESENTATIVE
DOVER, April 2.-The monopolistic
press, with the plutocratic portion
of the church and the assistance of
smart writers, are trying to hold our
people in the old rut of superstition
in regard to that most treacherous
metal, gold; we'll knowing that gold
is scarce mineral deposit that is
liable to fail, and that with the in
crease of productive industries, if
everything is measured by this
scarce metal, prices must fall in
proportion to the failure of the
mines, or in proportion to the in
creased productions of labor. The,
believe that every man who. calls
halt on any of the
great combines is a communist
or anarchist. These false pluto
cratic teachings must be met and
defeated if we wish to remain a
free people. How are we to do it?
BY education. Let every Alliance
become a library association, let
each member throw in rs to so
cents, invest the money in reform
books on the three great questions
of land, transportation and money.
When you meet at the Alliance
meetings discuss the different
books. Ten dollars worth of books
in each Alliance in Minnesota would
educate the people more than all
the speakers we could put in the
state. We have thirty-six books
in our association here in Quincy.
No man can read them all and
honestly uphold a single
metal standard for all money,
No man can read all of them and
uphold our senseless watered stock
railroad system; or uphold the for
eign stock companies that now con-
troll our elevator system. Friends
of the Alliance, isn't it possible for
you to go to work in your Alliance
and do something? There is so
much to do. You ought to ship your
own grain and let the combine ware
house alone. You ought to buy
your binding Irvine through the AL
lance. You ought to carry on
campaign of education in a library
association. Plutocracy is gaining
ground; it can only be arrested by
the great common people, and if
they are not posted on the cause
they can never hope tor remedy.
Come, friends, let US help our
people make one great effort.

ST. PAIL. MINI. Anril Ii

ST. PAUL, MINI, April IS, '93.
To the editor of the REPRESENTATIVE
wish through your paper to
deny the oft repeated charge made
by paper called the Great West,
published in the city of ST. Paul,
stating that l, as one of the elect
ors chosen to represent the Peoples
principles, as Endorsed by the
Omaha convention have made a
bargain or pledge of something i'm
aginary in the editors brain, ''that
if Endorsed by the Democrats I
would vote for Cleveland" Iwould
say, that for thirty years l have
labored and endorsed the action of
the great minds who endeavored
to grasp the power from capital.
I would mention a few, such as our
own Donnelly, Gen. Weaver,
and such men as continually
advocate the rights of humanity. I
hope to continue to support such
principles enunciated bv these
mighty statemen as long as l live.
I wish to say that have not entered
into any bargain or trade with the
Democrats to cast vote for Mr..
Cleveland or any one outside the
nominees of the Peoples party. I
am aware by the habits and Gus
toms of men in order to accomplish
little money, that they would sell
out the principles that they would
seem to advocate. I, therefore say
in reply to the accusation that it
has animated from a distorted
brain. There is not nor would be
enough of money to induce me to
vote for any other than Gen. Wea-
yer, as do believe in his election
there would be some hopes for the
people. Very truly yours,
JAMES DILLON.

THAT FUSION RACKET.
A Letter From One of the Elec.
tOral Candidates.

tOral Candidates.
That great, corruscating, middle
of-the-road journal has, ever since
the election, been hurting mud at
furious rate, especially,on the heads
of the four deluded electors who
were Endorsed by the state Demo-
cratic committee. s'Loathsome and
hideous betrayal of the Peoples
party" "that deepest of political
infamies that ever blackened the
records of American politics."
"damnable electoral betrayal" etc.
These are some of the classic cpl
thets which the fiery agitator uses
in order to soothe his wounded feel
ings. Come, now, doctor; what is
the use of fighting among our
selves after the defeat of No
vember. Let US take our medicine
cheerfully and get ready for the
next time. You put me in mind of
the minister's COW, filling a large
bucket. with milk, and invariab bly,
kicking it over in the end. We did
splendidly in the last election; L.
party and the first election It is
poor policy, after the battle is over,
for comrades to spend their time in
recrimination. Close up ranks, face
forward.
For one, entered the reform
movement from conviction. I de-
sired no Office, not even that of SEN
ator. In accepting the duty of
elector to which was appointed by
the Populist convention, l was
prompted by the desire to help the
movement. ! was loval to the Peo-
pies party from beginning to end.
entered into no trade or bargain
as condition of being Endorsed by
the Democratic committee. l never
intimated that in easel were elect
ed l would cast nv vote for Mr..
Cleveland. 1T refers to no kind of
political or financial bargain"
These are the words of the secreta-
ry of the state Democratic commit
tee. l was as sincere and pure a
Populist all through as DR.. E. w.
Fish ever was or ever will be: and
all this racket about the loss of
20, ZOO votes by the so-called fusion
plan is simply nonsense. 1t looks
like big smoke started to hide
somebody else's mistakes. DR.. Fish
came into our part of the state in
the midst of harvest, and, because
the farmers did not leave their
binders stand in the fields and flock
to his institute, he rushed into his
great middle of the road paper,
squaling like a singed rat; and, of
course, the Republican papers all
NJ act r
of the state spread the
news that the farmers cared
nothing for Fish's institute. Silence
is sometimes golden, and the first
quality of great reformer is good
comm on sense. When e. W. Fish
states that there was any kind of
political or financial bargain, he
states that which is false. I still
think that the Democratic commit
tee showed their good sense and APP
probation by endorsing the four
Populists electors; and 1 do not
think that our success would have
been enhanced one particle by re-
fusing the courtesy. There were.
other causes of defeat. Look nearer
home, We mighty crruscating

paying them for their work.
There are two classes who
are earnest workers, and
whose private business prevents
him or her from devoting much
time to the work, the other class
too have to put in their time with
out compensation.
Something should be done to get
workers in the field and keep them
there. One mistake 1 think has
been to get up large meeting in
some town and secure prominent
speaker. The same expense paid out
to schoolhouse workers would reach
a large class who cannot be in
duced to attend the large meetings.
This movement is education
al and these large meet
ings reach the graduates. We
must have scholars to make grad
yates of. Many of these scholars are
either too Indifferent or from other
reasons unable to attend these
grand meetings, so to reach them
meetings must be held as near the m
as possible and personal effort made
TO induce them to attend. No one
need fear where the votes will go
once man is fully shown the, true
condition of this country and the
only remedy So we should not allow
our enemies to mix the Alliance
with the political organization, the
Peoples party. There is pressing
need of the Alliance. 1 see
plainly the good effect
of the Alliance organization
in removing personal jealousies and
enmity over personal matters that
SO often estrange the farmers from
each other. Let earnest men in
every county meet and map out a
series of school house meetings, Sc
cure some capable person to lecture
and organize, then every one make
a special effort to secure good at
tendance at the meetings; arrange
for not less than ten or fifteen
meetings to be held continuously;
by appeal to the audiences for con-
tributions it will be found that the
lecturer will be compensated with
. out any great individual sacrifice.

A Notice From the State Lecturer
Let Every Alliance Man Read
With Attention.


I have received quite number of
letters from Alliance men through
out the state within the past month,

published letter. I am not mug

claim the Alliance and Peoples
Party are two different organiza-
tions; if they are not, then one of
them might as well disband.
AS I understand it men of all
political parties may join the ALI
ance as it is non-partisan. When the
Adrian Alliance was organized it was
so understood, but we soon went
into politics, and because some of
the members would not vote for the
candidates nominated at our con-
vention they were denounced as
traitors, which caused US to lose
some of our best members. For
this reason I said: s'Let US call no
man a traitor simply because he
does not see things as we do,'' and
was not fling at any particular in
dividual, as some supposed.
But, when man renounces his al
1egiance to his party because he
fails in getting nomination, or is
showed under at an election; or,
when man forsakes the principles
of his party after being elected to
represent us; if such men are not
traitors, then Benedict Arnold was
patriot and Judas Iscariot a saint
I have never asked the state or
ganization, nor any one, to pay me
for working in the Alliance cause.
l am ready to take the field when
invited by the sub alliances.
We have always invited the state
lecturer to speak in Adrian, and Mr.
Donnelly is the only one, who ever
received less than twenty dollars
for one speech; he would not accept
a cent, even for expenses. I can
not afford to be so liberal as Mr..
Donnelly; but, I will speak twice
in every county in the state, if the
Alliances will contribute three
dollars at each meeting
to defray my expenses.
To afford this it must be so ar
ranged that l can visit several adj
Joining counties in succession If
the Alliance spirit is so dead that
six dollars cannot be raised in a
county, we might as well cele brate
its funeral rites, oand mingle our
tears over its sepulchre.
