MIR. WARD AGAIN.
The Per Capita of Circulation.-A
Letter and Comments.

we received the following letter:
EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE.
l note the very extraordinary
course Mr.. Donnelly has chosen to
pursue, in respect to my communica.
tlOn criticising Mr.. DOnnellys esti-
mate of the per capita circulation. /
have no reply to make. My course in
regard to the silver question has been
abundantly vindicated, and such men
as Jesse Harper and Col. Norton, are
now pointing to the truth, that the
peoples party, is paper money par
ty, opposed from principle to metal
lism-mono, or BIZ Senator Stewart,
demands the demonetization of both
metals.
But Mr.. Donnelly's comments upon
my communication, lay him open to
ridicnle. By what rules of logic does
he assume, that in giving, or formu-
lating statement of per capita cir
culation on September 3Oth, 1892,
would, or should divide the volume of
money on that date, by the popula-
tion on Jan. l, 1893. Such bubble
is unmanly and puerile, and beneath
any honest reformer's dignity.
Mr.. Donnelly, laughs at my esti-

from coal, cordage, lumber and ma
chine combines and ship your produce
over the highways whose toll gates
are guarded for private interests.
Ihls IS no criticism of men, (for we
nave no especial quarrel with indi-
vlduals), but of a system that has ap-
parently outgrown democracy and is
smOthering it in it's cradle, and bids
falr to close every avenue of escape
before it's growth can be arrested.
Here it is then that the plan Of the
fathers has failed or proved ineffi-
cient.
They did not take sufficient pre-
caution to protect and secure the
common property rights of the indi-
vidual.
No i'll judgment is to be ascribed to
them for the form and frame of gov

ate wants Of the people at that
period; nor rcould they forsee the mar

mans potential control over the
forces of nature.

ST T~FAUL, MINI, WEDNESDAY, FEB. II, 1894

The soldier ran his bayunet into the
beast and killed him. The owner OF
the dog rushed out, very much ex.
cited, and yelled
'Why did you kill my dog?"
Why did he bite me?" replied the
soldier, quietly.
"But why did you not go at him
with the other end of your gun?'
said the man.
why did he not come at me with
his other end?" replied the soldier.
When Mr.. Ward, who is stranger
to us, crossed several hundred miles
of other states, to assail us, and said
that statement which we had pub
lished, and republished several times,
as to the per capita of circulation
was a roaring, farcical fake" he
came at us with the wrong end, and
we were justified in jabbing our
bayonet into him. He could have
presented his figures just as well
without all that brash insolence; and
in that case we should have met
courtesy with courtesy.
He now intimates, however, that he
referred to Mr.. Dunning, whose
Arena article we copied; but we had
adopted Mr.. Dunning's figures and
made them our own, and the phrase
''roaring, farcical fake" applied
therefore to us fully as much as to
Mr.. Dunning.
We never attack any man; but,

Our offer of the REPRESENTATIVE
for 13 weeks for 25c 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 $2.5
we will send the paper to ten parties
for thirteen weeks, and will also send
the getter-up Of the club 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 for six
months each, or to any person who
will send us $500 and the names of
two subscribers for one year each.
Or, if they prefer it, we will send
the REPRESENTATIVE free for six
months to the getter-up Of any such
club.

| should be only too happy, as presi-
dent of the alliance. to appoint a
man in each county, as suggested by
Mr.. Hetland, to organize the farmers
to attempt this great work. Will Mr..
Hetland take hold of the matter in
Norman county? And who will try
it in the other counties? Or had the
county alliances better select the
men?
L would suggest that those who
thus go out to organize should be
reasonable and moderate in their
statements. If concerted action
could raise the price of wheat even
five cents bushel, that would put
2,5OO,0OO in the pockets of the farm
ers of this state. Ten cents rise per
bushel would mean the difference be-
tween success and failure for thous-
ands OF farmers. If it was known to
the bulls and bears of Chicago and
New York and Liverpool that such
an organization existed, with power
to hold back the wheat or throw mill
ions on the market at once, a great
terror would sieZe upon the souls of
the wheat gamblers. Their next step
would be to buy up the agents of the
farmers, to work with them; and here
would be one of our main difficulties.
The man who could control the wheat
crop Of the northwest could make a
million dollars,in a month, by bulling
or bearing the market,
Do not start new association but
use the machinery of the alliance.
There is danger in a multiplicity of
societies. Urge the farmers every
where to contract no debts maturing
in the fall of the year That will be
an immense point gained. When the
merchants learn that such an organ
ization is on foot they will adapt
their business to it; for they know
that the farmers prosperity is as es-
ScuUldl W UIlcIu DIS III Is 10 Uno 1drIn-

But the thoughts of many men are
better then the thoughts of any one
man; so call your county alliances to-
gether at once, read this article and
thoroughly discuss the whole ques-
tion. We believe the scheme is prac-
ticable, but it must be conducted
with the greatest shrewdness and good
sense. II it succeeds it will be- the
greatest step forward achieved by the
agriculturalist ts since the feudal ages.
Be assured that personally we will
do all we can to help forward such a
movements; and the columns of the
REPRESENTATIVE are thrown open
to it, to any extent, free of charge,
So ''get a hustle" on yourselves,
bretheren, and be up and doing.
This is the time when your farm
work is not pressing. Take advan-
tage of it. And let us have your
views and suggestions.

year. shall make Rome howlp'
we hope our friend will, for the
good OF the cause, let us have all the
details. There should be no mercy
for traitors. There are some things
which go to confirm the statements of
our correspondent. The editor of the
7 Farmers Leader of .pipestone fought
MIR. Donnelly on the floor of the con-
-Vention; and since then he has en-
dorsed the policy Of giving up all the !
distinctive principles of the peoples
party and denounced those principles
as "FADs y" And the editors of the
Madison Western Guard, and of the
Sleepy Eye Herald, demand that Mr..
Donnelly be driven out of the peoples
party Every railroad corporation in
the state seconds the motion. And
who will the populists find who will
give as much time and money to the
work as Mr.. D.? Is he a burden on
the party? It does not look so, when
he ran 1O,580 votes above the Weaver
vote in 1892; while Nelson fell 1868
below Harrison's vote and Lawler
$500 below Cleveland's vote. What
IS the meaning of these concerted
attacks? Is our correspondent right?
Have the plutocrats, since they lost
Fish, set up a new game? Do they
propose to arrest the forward move
nent of reform by buying up such OF
our country editors as are for sale?
We don't object to any body fighting.
Mr.. Donnelly. He is able to take care
OF himself; but opposition to the prin-
ciples OF Our party is high treason. Our
only point is, that to make war on
Mr. u. now, when he ask for nothing,
but the privilege of working for 9TH
ers, looks suspicious. It looks as if it
wasn't Donnelly they were after but
that they wanted to head off the
work he can do for the cause.
Keep your eyes open, bretheren.
Death to the traitors, must be your
battle cry. n

A Democratic View,
Special to the Dispatch.

Special to the Dispatch.
Washington, Jan. 81 1.-COngreSsman
Baldwin has speech on record today
in which he makes an open bid for
the pOpulist Endorsement. He says:
II speak for the democratic-populist
and peoples parties of Minnesota,
whose aggregate vote makes an over
whelming majority for tariff reform
The total vote in 1892 was 251, 1T, of
vote was 1882. 1t is claimed by the
populists that Knute Nelson received
81 900 Scandinavian n votes which would
Nelson been a Scandinavian. I claim
also that 70 per cent of the republi-
can vote of Minnesota is democratic
on the tariff ISSUE"
The Dispatch adds:
''Mr. Baldwin makes no mention of
the fact that four candidates on the
fusion electoral ticket were defeated
in Minnesota last year."
That was Fish's work. But the
two populist candidates for the su-
preme bench were elected by the help
of democratic votes. We hope they
will be OF some use to the people.
The united populist and democratic
vote is a majority of 2,SO3 on the vote
of 1892. It will be more than that
next time.
The democrats would like our votes
without our principles; but it is our
principles that gave us our votes. To
give up our principles is to give up
our party. The democrats sing:
Twill you walk into my parlor?'
Said the spider to the fly;
It's the prettieSt little parlOr
That ever you did spy"
But is victory without our princi-
pies real victory? Does it mean
anything but change in the names
of the men to whom the salaries are
paid? And how will that advance
the cause Of humanity? We are
ready to accept cooperation, but not
a surrender of all the principles that
make us party. That is "tusion"
of the most despicable and abomina-
BILE kind. 1t is slumping into the
cess-pool. We must be practical, but
we must be honest. We cannot af-
ford to save our clothes at the ex-
pense of our honor. We want sue
cess, but we want success that moves
the world forward peg Il. D.

Divide this among 81 ,622, $50 people
and it gives us the grand total Of
$4.97 per capital
When Mr.. Ward attempts to con-
trovert these figures does he follow
the same line of statement? No; in
stead of giving the gross total, as
stated by the q. s. Treasurer, of all
moneys in existence or that had been
in existense, he omits that factor al
together, and starts in with this
statement: "On Sept. 80, 1892, the
amount of money coined, stamped
and issued. and not in the U. s. Treas
qlry, was as follows" Where does he
get those figures? And why in the
year 1894, does he 60 back to the fig
ures of 1892?
