Our readers will be glad to know
that we have received permission
from Mrs. S. E. V. Emery, of Lans-
ing, Michigan to publish, in the REP
REsENTATIvE, her remarkable and
most valuable book, "The Seven FL
nancial ~Conspiracies;" a work which
has made more converts to the peo-
Piles party than any other; 100000
copies have been printed of it. We
shall print the first installment in
our issue of Jan'y 10th, and continue
it from week to week until finished.
Speak to acquaintances, and let
them know that by subscribing now
they will get this great work for
nothing; and be sure to lend your
copy around among your neighbors.
The man who will vote for either of
the old parties, after reading that
book, ought to have a guardian.

equal with all the rest,-that being
the cornerstone of the whole govern
ment,-would hand over the highest
function Of government, the right of
taxation, to few men, and permit
them to put the revenues of the
masses into their pockets, and give
nothing for it. And yet the daily pa
pers published, the other day, a col
umn of letters, from the leading re-
publicans and democrats of the cOun-
try, Farwell being one of them, to
the committee of Banking and Cur
rency, urging precisely the same
views, without single dissenting
voice. And these are views of John
Sherman and Grover Cleveland.
1t was for this Cleveland has
just asked congress to give him pow
er to issue bonds, in time of profound
peace, not to meet a deficit or a
threatened war. but to turn the
whole currency of the country into
the hands of the banks, and make
every bank note the representative
OF an individual debt, first of the
bank, and secondly of the man who
got it out of the bank.
And thus the power of the govern
ment is to be used to build up a vast
monied aristOcracy at the expense of
the people;-the few enriched, the
many impoverished; and the end:-
the death of liberty and the estab-
liShment of royalty. How do you like
it, brethren? And what are you 90

A Victory for the People.

The St. Paul Globe says:
"The case of the State VS.. G. A.
Smith & Co., of Minneapolis, in the
celebrated pine land deal has been
decided by Judges Baxter and Searle
in favor of the state. The decision,
which was handed down at Princeton
yesterday, is very lengthy document
and embraces findings of fact and of
law and great deal of memoranda
setting forth the reasons for the de-
cision: The findings completely up
hold the position taken by Represen-
tative r. G. Dunn in the last legiSla-
ture. The sale made by State Audi
tor Biermann of the pine timber on
school section 36, township AZ, range
26, Mile LacS county, to G. A. Smith
is declared to be illegal and void.
The defendants are required to sur
render the permit and pay for the
pine already cut at the rate of $4 a
thousand feet, and interest. and
stand the costs of the case. It was
shown that the timber was sold at
private sale to G. A. Smith & Co. for
81 per thousand on an estimate of
100000 feet, while the tract con-
tainS 5000, 900 feet of pine, lands for
which 81 had been offered These
are practically the allegations made
by r. G. Dunn in resolution he pre-
Sented in the house of representa-
tiveS last session, and which was the
subject of legislative inveStigat alton
by special committee. 1t is thought
very probable that Smith & Co. will
not accept this decision, but will ap-
peal to the supreme COURT
OF course they will: but thanks to
the peoples party, their two candi-
dates for the Supreme Bench, Messrs.
Canty and Buck, endorsed by the
democrats, were elected, and may
help to hold things level. But it
must not be forgotten that G.. A.
Smith & Co. is G. A. Smith and Hon.

Reduced rates on the certificate
plan on all roads running trains to
Minneapolis have been secured for
the annual meeting of the state
farmers alliance.
When delegates buy tickets at their

a certificate showing they have paid
full fare going to Minneapolis; then,
by having the certificate signed by
Sec. Stromberg, they will be entitled
to a return ticket at one-third rate.

A Frank Acknowledgement.

That able republican paper the St.
Paul Dispatch, evidently concludes
that IAN open confession is good for
the soul,' and it tells the truth in a
way thatisenough to loos n it's pluto
cratic front teeth. 1t says:
GAS events progressed, the delay
caused by the silver adherents in the
senate was taken upas the operating
cause OF our industrial trouble. In
Time the silver purchase provision
was repealed, but the country has SINCE
kno,on no cessation of its nistorta.,,es.
more men are out of employment tO-duu
than there aoe9'e before the silver men oare
up their fight. Winter has appeared.
with the indications of more than
the usual share of dread to those who
are not fortunate in their worldly
circumstances, and, if the truth must
be told, all the indications point to q Dro-
longed period of suffering anaonq the M
dust1ial masses. We no longer close
our eyes to the situation"
And yet this paper howled, with
the rest, that if we only stopped the
purchase of silver bullion good times
would bound into the arena, like the
clown into the circus ring, shouting,
Here we are again, Mr.. Merry
men" But congress repealed the
act of $780, and now the Dispatch ad-
mits that times are worse than they
were before; and that there is no
prospect ahead but a prolonged
period of suffering among the indus
trial classes;-that is to say, the
farmers and workingmen.
But the Dispatch cannot forbear
trying to make a little political CAP
ital by dragging in the tariff and pro-
lection.
1t seems to us that with 5000, 900
Workmen out of employment,-starv
ing vagrants in this country to-day,
with the Mckinley bill unrepealed
on the statute books, that protection
cannot protect them very seriously:
and with American paupers we have
not much to fear from "the pauper
labor of the old world" We can
swap with them. "If there are any
people who can work for less than
the average American workmen gets
to-day-which consists largely of
charity soup and back-gate scraps
and cat-meat, let them take the job.
And if the democrats want any
cheaper goods than we have got to-
day, or cheaper men and women to
make them, let them draw the bot
tom out and permit the whole thing
to go kerslump into the abyss.
The tariff question is side issue.
Up from the bottom of the deep
comes monster besides which it is a
pigmy. A Leviathan lashes the
bloody sea and swallows the tariff.
That Leviathan is mOnO-noetullisnl!
The shrinkage of the worlds money
One-half; the shrinkage of all values
in the world one-half; the dial of
time turned backward toward the
middle ages; liberty evaporating and
slavery rising like a miasma.
And the party which the Dispatch
supports has largely helped to produce
these terrible results: and now, like
Macbeth, it is Mortified, and cries out:
Il am afraid to think on what I've done;
Look on it again dare not"
