WITHOUT MONEY,

At the time this is written the re-
suit of the election is unknown.
There is one thing. however, which is
known and that is that the campo On
of the Peoples party in this state has
been prosecuted with the most limited
means. The party has had no pine
la d ring nor any rich bankers or plu-
tocrats to draw on for funds. 1t has
had no blank railway passes to be filed
out by it's committees. Yet what a
racket it has made! How the Repub-
lican party has been frightened into
making the most expensive campaign
it has ever prosecuted in this state. 1t
has not been hampered for means. Its
speakers, many of them under pay,
have covered the remotest corners and
hamletS in the state.
Under these circumstances the Peo-
pies party has shown that it is full of
life and vitality. Although it may be
beaten now, it will goad up it's loins
anew for the great battle for human
rights in 1896, and it will win.

THREE LOWLY HEROTNES.
A Trio of Girls Walk 100 Miles to
Secure Employment.
minneapolis Times, Oct. 31.1,

minneapolis Times, Oct 81 IL
Three young girls, the eldest not
over Is years of age, entered Olson's
great departments store Monday noon
and made their way to the employ
mcnt bureau. They looked careworn
and weary, and their detected mien at
once attracted the kindly attention of
Miss Wilson, the lady in charge. On
inquiring their errand, Miss Wilson
was informed by the eldest Of the girls
that on the Thursday before she had
picked up a copy of the Times, in which
she saw an advertise ment of the en-
plOyment bureau connected with S. E,
Olson's store.
She informed her two friends of her
discovery. and they all resolved to
leave for Minneapolis that very night.
Having no money to pay their fare,
they bravely, but not without misgiv-
ings, set out to walk to Minneapolis. a
distance of 100 miles, They reached
the city, as stated above, on Monday
at noon, and within 20 minutes after
applying at OlsOn's were provided with
suitable places.
The Times is informed that since
the opening of Olson's employment
bureau, Sept. last, under the super
vision of Miss Wilson, 1,101 girls have
registered and S94 ladies have been
provided with help. A number of type
writer's, dreSsmakers. ETC., have also

Wheat 10 Cents.

Wheat selling for 10 cents bushel.
Think of it! The mainstay of man
kinds existence, that from which
comes the staff of life selling for the
paltry sum of 10 cents bushel. 1t is
almost beyond belief.
To the Palouse country it is terri
BILE calamity. To our financial inter
ests it is almost as bad as a total loss
of the crop. At this price the cost of
harvesting will consume the entire
proceeds.
The average cost of harvesting a
twenty-five bushel to the acre crop is

Where is the farmers pay for the
long, hard days spent in seeding? And
where is the tax and interest money
and his store bills to come from?
A rise in the market is hoped for,
but at present all eyes are turned to-

lapse of the trust marked one OF the
most sensational features OF the In
dustrial market during the early
months of 1898. The company was or
ganized in 1890, with capital that
was watered beyond redemption.
1.-THE very greatest failure in the
trust line, to my mind, was the Rich
mond & West Point Terminal crash.
This does not come under the head OF
industrial trusts, but it was trust
pure and simple. This was case
where a syndicate bit off more than 1t
could masticate, and as res ult went
to the wall. Pierrepont Morgan, the
great financil seer, is making the en-
deavor Of his life in trying to entangle

THE RESULT.
weeks.

Without any doubt Gov. Nelson is
reelected.
This result has been accomplished
by Democratic votes. While the rank
and file of the party largely voted
for Owen, the plutocratic Democrats,
in the curtained booths, have largely
voted for Nelson.
This is not an unexpected result,
but it carries with it the great con-
solatory fact that the Democratic par
ty is dead beyond the hope Of resurrec-
tion.
The defeat of David B. Hill in New
York, by an overwhelming majority,
and Of Wilson, the father of the new
tariff bill in West Virginia, estab-
fishes this fact beyond controversy.
The Peoples party has gained and
the Democrats have lost.
The logic of the event is that the
Democratic party must go out of eX-
istence and be largely merged in the
Peoples party. The plutocratic por
ton will go to the Republicans, while
the other, and. by far, the larger por-
ton, will go the Peoples party.
When this happens the portion of
the Republican party which believes
in free silver and the rule of the peo-
pie as against the plutocrats and the
corporations will also come to us.
The great battle of 1896 for human
rights is now on. No man can say
what the final outcome will be, but no
friend of his country can fail to hope
that the Peoples party will win.

AN OUTRAGE!
FALSE REPORTS BY THE AS.
SOCIATED PRESS.
The Denver Bank Clearings
FaISified,

On Friday night last the Associate
Press, as is its custom, sent out tho
bank clearings Of the principal cities.
Denver, as reported, showed de-
crease OF 40 per cent over the CORE
spending week Of last year. Believing
sent out for political effect, the editor
OF the REPRESENTATIVE Investigated
it and found that, ms stead of a de-
crease of 40 per cent. there had been
an increase of eighteen per cent. The
Penny Press wired the Denver News
and got confirmation Of these last
figures. The editor of the REPREsEN-
TATIvE then addressed letter to the
manager of the Associated Press at
Chicago on the subject and has re-
ceived the following reply.

WaShburn An Iceberg

Sam Phillips in Mazeppa Tribune
A great many of the best-posed pol
iticians of the state affect the belief
that the Republicans will not har1
control Of the next legislature, il
which event there would be no ques-
ton about the election of Hon. Igna-
titus Donnelly, vice Washburn, the
Minneapolis Iceberg. If the Republic
cans succeed in retaining control Of
the house and senate next winter, the
Junior senator will be retired with a
thump. The election of just such
men as w. D. Washburn to the United
States senate has caused the downfall
of the Republican party. 1t is time
to call halt. The Washburns must
be retired from the United States sem
ate, and honorable men, close to the
people, elected in their places. If w.
ID. Washburn were candidate before
the voters Of this state, he would be
defeated by at least 900 majority.
The people do not want him. He is
not in touch with the masses. The
attempt to again fOist him upon the
Republican party of the state, If sue
ceSSful. will result disaStrously to the
Republicans. There are two sides to
that proposition. Therefore all Re-
publicans who have the best interests
of the party at heart should make it
point to oppose the candidacy Of w. d.
Washburn. ANY decent Republican is
preferable to the Minneapolis Ice.

Kansas have been much exaggerated
by partisanship, while Owen is a man
much better balanced than Waite or

The good things the Populist ad.
ministrations have done in Colorado
and Kansas are not much quoted, the
conversion of public lands that had

self an agent and secure at least one
more, with the cash in advance. The
outlay of the REPRESENTATIVE dur
ing the campaign just closed has been
at least 81 900 m ore than the receipts.
All of this has been given freely for
the cause of human progress. 1t is no
more than fair that its patrons and
those who believe in the principles
which it advocates should now lend a
helping hand We intend to make the
paper even better than 1T has been in
the past. An important session of the
legislature is at hand. The people
want the truth regarding the proceed
ings of that body. They will get it in
an unvarnished form in the REPRE-
SENTATIVE, and probably nowhe re
else.
In less than two years we will be in
the midst of hot presidential cam
paign. Minnesota must and can be
carried for the principles of the Peo-
pies party. 1t will be campaign of
education. The time to commence
this work is nooc-toddy. Do not wait
nor put off the commencement of this
great and good work. Let us not give
up Minnesota to the rule of plutocrats
and pine land thieves. Let us not
supinely sit down and accept the
bonds of slavery which are being forged
for us by the goldbug aristocracy. Let
us not condemn our children and our
children's children to everlasting slav-
erY and bondage.

THE DENVER Wall,

Election is over, but the REPREsEN-

pleasure of perusing the wall of the
business men" of Denver over Peo-
pies party rule in that state. This
wall appeared simultaneously in the
old party organs of this state last Sat-
urday morning. Weare informed that
Tams Bixby went to the expense of
telegraphing all the way to Denver for
it. Well, here it is:

present moment even gold mine cannot
borrow one dollar on five dollars worth
of gold ore actually in sight, with which
to extract that ore and send it to the

harvest offered, but hold aloof until the
election in November decides whether we
are to have anarchy or civilized govern
ment.

drought stricken states to the east of us
are anxious to come here and farm by
irrigation; but under Populist rule we can
borrow no more money with which to
build irrigating canals. Manufacturing is
most profitable here, but capital shuns

NOW look at this. 1t assigns three
reasons why Peoples party rule has
been distrous. as follows:
l. 1t has caused great decline in
real estate values in Denver.
2. Money cannot be borrowed on
prospective gold mines.
3. Money can not be borrowed with
which to dig irrigating bitches so that
they can get the drought-stricken
farmers of Kansas and Nebraska into
Colorado.
AS to the first reason, it may be said
that real estate values have fallen as
much in Minneapolis as they have in
Denver.
AS to the second reason no answer is
needed. The banker who in these
days would loan money on a hole in
the ground, or a prospective hole, would
be quickly adjudged to be insane. :,
AS to the third reason, it seems that
these Denver "business men" want to
borrow money with which to dig irri-
eating bitches. Having dug them the
irrigated lands would be worth $500
per acre, and these high-priced lands
they figure to sell to the drought
stricken farmers of Kansas and Ne
braska, who have not got money
enough to pay their railroad fares to
Denver!

A Gold-Bug- lmpOssibility.

Our contention is that there is not
enough of gold and silver metal COM
bined to furnish money for the
transaction of one-tenth of the bust
ness and commerce of the world. This
is evidenced by the fact that there is
less than eight billion dollars of both
gold and silver in the world, while the
bonded Indebtedness is over seventy
five billion dollars.
AS we showed last week, with only
gold as legal tender Gas money of
final redemption) the amount to each
person, on the average, would be only
$2.54. In face of this fact, the gold
bug bondocracy insist that the people
must do business in this narrow base.
The Minneapolis Journal men who
publish both Republican "Journal'
and Democratic "Times," in the in
terests of the gold bondocracy, in
reply to the questions: lis there not
in the treasury at Washington suffi
cient coin to redeem all paper money
now in circulation" published the
folowing:'
s'In the treasury there is a gold re-
serve which was intended to be kept
UP " PlOO,OOU,UUV, OuU WItCu DICS"
entis reduced to $50, 100000, which is
back Of $1,125, 900, 600 of currency out
standing. This is not enough to re-
deem all this currency in gold, but the
government is pledged to redeem in
gold, and would have to borrow gold to
do it if run was made on it, which
is impossible. The gold reserve should
be not less than $l5o, 900, OOO"
Why gold any more than wheat?
In the commerce of the world gold
is only merchandise.
Why gold any more than silver?
Both are merchandise in London, Ber-
lin or Paris.
But to the point. Every intelligent
man knows that with only 500, 900
of gold in the treasury-being the on
ly legal tender-the gold gambling
bondOcracy of Wall Street can bank
iupt the United States treasury and
every state treasury in the Union in
less than week, if they SO desire.
The same would be true if $150,O0O, 900
or 5000 900 QUO were in the treasury;
for, in addition to the 81, he, OOO, 900 of
currency, mentioned by the Journal,
there are outstanding bonds to the
amount of about 81, 500 100000.
Talk about borrowing gold to re-
deem the currency Every intelligent
man knows it is impossible.
What Plutocracy wants is to make
it impossible for the people to pay
their debts: first by demonetizing sill
yer and greenbacks: and second, by
continuing the National bank system.
thus drawing large interest from the
people. and placing the government
and everybody else in their power so
that any day in the year they can de-

other business in the country except
