OUR FORUM.

1t is part of the purpose Of estab-
fishing the REPRESENTATIVE to af-
ford 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 a fair
hearing. We would suggest to our
correspondents to make their lette RS
brief and to the point; not to ex-
coed one-Quarter of column, if pos
sible. If you have lengthy commun-
ication cut it in half and make two
letters of it. Avoid personalities.
Don't write unless you have some
thing to say: and let each letter
have a motive and teach something
to the reader. Try to make your
readers better and wiser by what
you write. Never mind about the
grammar or the spelling. The prin-
ter will fix all that. Good sense and
an honest purpose are rarer things
than book learning.-THE EDITOR.

MIR. EDITOR:
An Alliance meeting will be held
at Mcintosh, April 7, "a, to make ar
range ments to purchase state prison
Irvine for next harvest.
At meeting held by the Scandal
Alliance, No. 643, of the town of
Knute, Polk county, the following
resolution was adopted and ordered
published
Resolved, That the Secretary of
this Alliance is hereby instructed to
notify the several secretaries of the
different sub-alliances, in the eastern
part of Polk county, to call their ALI
ances together and appoint commit
tees to meet at Mcintosh, April I, '94
at 10 O'Clock a. M, to take action in
regard to the purchase of the state
prison Irvine for this year.
1t is in our opinion necessary to
have such meeting, that we may
agree on some person to act as our
agent in the purchase and delivery of
the Irvine, and to agree on compensa-
tion foI such agent.
We believe this to be more con-
venient time for holding such a
meeting than later in the year when
farmers are busy with their work.
We would also suggest that each
alliance ascertain approximately the
number of pounds of Irvine needed in
their alliance or town, so that at
the proposed meeting we can form On
idea as to the quantity to be handled,
and thus more intelligently arrive at
what would be reasonable compensa-
tion to the agent"

published in the REPRESENTATIVE,

Alliance men, Don't hesitate to
take part in this meeting on account
of inability to pay cash for the Irvine
at the time of ordering If the state
prison board expects to dispose of the
Irvine they will have to give us time
| till after harvest.

Mr.. Owens believes as many others
do myself included) that it is bad
policy for any political party, espe-
cially one just coming into existence,
to go too much into detail. in it's de-
Cha ration of principles. 1t is (tO il
lustrate) enough for it to declare in
favor of the free coinage of silver and
gold, without committing themselves
to the ratio of Is to |: or any other
ratio. There are many who favor
free coinage, but not at IS toll. Hon.
l. Donnelly has, in your columns, CIV
en- it as his opinion that the incorpora-
tiOn of the So-called ''subtreasury
plan" in the Omaha platform was a
mistake: and, in common with many
refOrmerS, [ agree with him. Hon.
5. M. Owen has said nothing more
than this, and it should have been
left to those who act as if they be-
lieved that neither corporations or
monopolies can do wrong, to assail
one who, for years, has written and
spoken as Mr.. Owen has.
In the name ofour suffering people,
who are to be found at every turn,
let there be more unity and harmony
amOngall who agree that the reforms
we advocate, are necessary to ia
vorable change from the present ter
rible condition of things,
] know that Mr.. Owen is not seek
ing the gubernatOrial nomination,
and that nothing will please him
better than that another standard
bearer may be four d. If anyone
suppOSeS that it is pleasant and
very agreeable thing to become such
candidate, and to discharge the oner-
Gus labors of the campaign, he is woe
fully mistaken.
Let us have peace and unity among
us. Let the motto of all reformers
be. measures, not men,

To Control the Wheat Market in
the Interest of Producers.
MoLAND, Mimi, Feb. 10, '94.
Mr.. EDITOR:
l read J. M. Hollands letter in the
REPRESENTATIVE, Feb. IA. For some
time my own mind has been running
in the same channel. l have no doubt
but great organization could be eff
fected under such system as Mr..
Hetland suggested: but to accomp-
lish the desired results no grave mis-
takes should be made. First the
men selected to be at the head of the
movement should be wise, capable.
and true.
Now, this is my plan: | would not
start a new organization but work it
through the Alliance, and other farm
organizations. If possible get all the
states west of the Mississippi, and as
many east of the river as would join
us; have three men from each state
meet in the convention as soon as it
could be ascertained what the world S
crop was, and it's requirements: and
then and there establish reasonable
price for all farm produce, according
to grade of same, what should be
paid in each state, and each county
of said state. That would cut off all
speculation and gambling; it would
in fact, be law of supply and de-
mand. | would have one man in
each county to do the selling, and on
the first day of each month every
farmer in his respective county give
written statement of all he had to
sell that month to the salesman, and
the salesman on the third Of each
month would cause to be published
in the county papers all he had for
sale that month, and when he made
sale have the purchaser make de-
posit of money for the whole amount
of the sale in a bank. Then the
salesman shall notify every farmer in
his county that has such listed pro-
duce for sale at that time, how much
of said produce he has contracted
for sale and how much he is required
to deliver. If A has 1000 bushels for
sale, and B has 500, A shall deliver
twice as much as B. So, if we had to
carry over any grain from one crop
year to another, it would fall equally
on all according to the amount.
That plan could be applied to beef,
pork: mutton, wool, and all farm
produce; and when the farmer de-
livered his goods, he would get a
check, and go to the bank as now,
and get the money. l will not enter
into details, for my letter is already
too long. w. S. WEATHERsTON.

Our Differences and Agreements.

Mr.. EDITOR:
1t has been said that to ''err is hui
man; to forgive, divine" and SO it
sometimes happens that it becomes
almost something divine for some
one to surrender a cherished idea
and accept modification in it's
place.
Many statesmen and scientists
have found the most bitter expert
ence of their lives centered in the
abandonment of theory. We all
know, however, that it must be done,
and no really great thing can be ac-
complished by any considerable num-
Der of men without individual con-
cessions of opinion. In other words,
there must be substantial unity Of
feeling and action in order to really
attain any common good. 1t is the
same with a reform movement of any
kind. We each have our notions of
what ought to be done and cannot
quite see why they should not be
adopted, and even predict failure un-
less they are. And yet if we study
history we shall observe that some
way, while men have said the same
thing before, the reforms have
been accomplished along unthought-
of lines. All this teaches us lesson,
and it is that of toleration. What if
our views are a little different; it
matters not. We are pressing for
ward toward the truth, and all our
roads will after all lead to it. So let
us unite upon common, broad, pro-
gresSive platforms and march in solid
column, envying not one another,
disputing not one another: but rath-
er supporting and aiding the great
forward movement that is sweeping
on, and is to save our land. 1t mat
tiers not who is up or down just now.
To-day the man who is faithful to
the duty at hand may be called from
the toll of the hour to higher and
more difficult labors. The essential
thing is a spirit of brotherhood; of
common interest: of common effort.
A few of us will fall, here and there;
but the orders should be, "close up
and "advance."
Therefore | plead for a brother
hood fight and turning of guns
against the enemy. By SO doing we
can possess ourselves of the state
and the country, and inaugurate
needed reforms and usher in new
era. Shall it be done?

ST. PAUL, March -, 1894
EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE:
Shortly after the recent meeting of
the Farmers Alliance you published
a communication from a namesake
of mine, who resides in Minneapolis:
but who is a stranger to me. That
communication was an unfriendly
criticism of Hon. S. NJ. Owen, based
upon certain remarks, which he is re.
ported to have made, at a meeting
held there during that session of the
Alliance; and my attention has been
called to the fact that many of your
readers believe that / wrote it. 1t is
TO disabuse the minds of all such that
| write this.
l not only did not write that crit
icism of Mr.. Owen; but l disagree.
radically, with it's author. l am a
friend and admirer of Mr.. Owen, and
saw no valid reason for that attack
which 81. L. Mcdonald" (of Minnea-
polis) made upon him. / have been
a subscriber to Farm, Stock &
Home" from the first year of it's ex-
istence, and have read the editorials
in every issue, and these are all the
platform need, if he is a candidate.
Upon what subject. that is import
ant or material to consider, in con-
nectiOn with candidate for COVER
nor, has he not declared himself to
our satisfaction, in his paper? lean
not recallany.
| underS tand him to have declared,
in the remarks criticised, that the
reform element should be less verbose
in their platform, and that instead
of great multitude of blanks, it
should be limited to comparatively
few declarations of overshadowing
principles; and leave the matter of
minor details until Legislature or
Congress had been elected, which
would carry those principles into eff
feet. The gravamen of the charge
of my namesake was that Mr.. Owen
said the cardinal plank of the plat
form should be an assault upon 1.-THE
political power of corporations and
monopolies''. Now, if he will reflect
moment, he will see that every DO
litical evil Of which we complain is
directly traceable to that very thing

WANT RATIoNs STOPPED.
Indians Will Never be Selt-Support-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-General COM
plaiut against the issuance government

agency, officially characterizes the prac-
Iica as a most potent factor In retardlng
the development of the Indians, and Capt.
p. II. Ray, of ShOShOne agency, in wy
Omng, saws: They will never become
self-SuppOrting as long as the government
gives them SemblanCe of support; Meth
er can they begin to accumulate property
50 long as the supply of the necesSarieS OF
life is solely 10 the hands OF white
traders"
Another factor in retarding their devel-
opment compla ned OF by Cap ain Ray,
j. the domination OF the chiefs, who have
been allowed TO dictate to the agents as
tn the issue of aDuuities and the affairs OF
the agency, thereby fostering and perpet-
ua,ing the influence required In war
The ShoShones are regarded as commun-
Its who are 10th to take up any untrled
pursuits. Their agent recommends tn 1t
the ration issue, except to the INDECENT
and helpless, be gradually discontinued
and he money now used for the rations,
be devoted 10 the payment OF Indian labor.
The progress made at Tulalip agency
in Washington indicates that within a
ew years these Indians will become sell
supporting and independent of govern
ment aid. i.Whiskey," says Agent Erwin
of the Yak las, "is the greatest hindrance
to the Indians prosperity. There is an
immebs Sc traffic in alcohol aud vile decoc-
tionS carried on with them, and one muir
der and three violent deaths during the
wear are charcoal BILE to these agents."
