Bin Browns Bombast.

Bill Brown, Republican candidate for
county attorney, was out to Kanorado
Tuesday evening and addressed an au-
dience composed of q men, women and
children, 10 of whom were from Colo
RADIO. In his address he gave his per-
varicating powers full sway. In the
course Of his harrangue he quoted
s4ParSon7 Stewards statement that
John Sherman was as much traitor as
Arnold, Burr or Judas and that he was
responsible for the demOnetization of
silver in 1873 All this Bill Brown de-
MED and stated that Sherman did not
vote for the bill that demonetized
silver in 1873. TIE REPUBLIC declares
Sherman did vote for the bill that de
monetized silver in 1878 and defieS Bill
Brown or any other man to prove that
he did not
Further ON in his remarks he stated
that the Populists members of congress
should not be credited with the pass
age of the income tax, and in so doing
he again showed his Ananias ability
The records show that the POpulists
did force the passage of the income
tax. He also stated that the PopuliStS
are not responsible for the pending
woman suffrage amendment, that the
Populists are not bi-metallists, that the

1t viii be readily seen that Mr. Ford,
Republican, has done the hefty part of
the lavish dealing and if Populist got
the heavy end of the aid it must be laid
at the door of the Republican trustee.
Mr.. Ford put in 365s days overseeing
the poor, while the highest number of
days put in by any one other trustee
was 3, and the total number of days
put in by all the other trustees combined
amounts to only about one third of that
of Mr. Ford All the other trustees
have large territories to cover, while
Mr. Ford has only the Goodland town
site The pauper bills from each dis
trict run about in the same ratio as the

OUR FORUM.


It is part of the purpose of estab-
fishing the REPRESENTATIVES, to af-
ford a 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 fair
hearing. We would suggest to our
correspondents to make their letters
brief and to the point; not to ex-
coed One-Quarter of a column, If pos
sible. II 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 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.

Our offer of the REPRESENTATIVE
for - weeks for Csc. 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 $3.50
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.

The Views of a Farmer on thu
New Law.
GRANITE FALLS, Jan. 9.

GRANITE FALLS, Jan. 9.
MR.. EDITOR:
In the REPRESENTATIVES for Dec.
10Th, 1893, On page 4, producers of
wheat were requested to give their
opinion as to whether the act of our
legislature, in Chap. % Is. F. No. 371)
operates to our benefit or injury.
1 will say for one that I have
not realized the smallest benefit from
the operation of the new law. The
object of the law apparently was to
get the farmers warehouses in line
of control and compel them to ''show
down" the accounts of their business
that's all.
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth
are, as far as I can ascertain, the
cities designated by the words "ter-
minal points" in said law, and when
our accommodating railroad compa-
ny will not allow their cars to go
any further before they must be un-
loaded and the middleman given a
chance to ''skim the cream" before
they can go any further,-this is
humbug and fraud.
At the rates of freight we are pay
ing our grain should 60 direct to some
of the main sea ports, or at least to
Chicago or Milwaukee. As long as
exorbitAnt freight rates are charged

Wright County Alliance.

EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE:
The annual meeting of the Wright
Co. alliance was held in Maple Lake.
Although the stormy weather and
drift.d roads prevented several dele
gates from coming, the interest TAX
en- in alliance work by those who
were present made it a pleasant and
lively meeting.
After short address by President
E. G. Day, the following officers were
elected for the coming year:
Richard Bennett, Woodland, Prest.
ND. Vandergon, Silver Creek, Sec.
Hans L. Sand, CokatO, Co. Lect.
Jas T. Plant, Monticello,
Paul Kennedy of Silver Creek as
delegate, and James German of Ma
pie Lake as alternate, were elected to-
represent Wright county at the state:
meeting.
The village of Waverly was chosen
as the next place of meeting.

Polk Co. Alliance.
MCINTOSH, Mimi, Jan. 2, "a.
EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE.
At a meeting of the Polk county
alliance held at Crookston Mimi,
Dec. q, 1898, the following resolu-
tions were unanimously passed:
Resolved, That the Polk county al
lance is unequivocally opposed to the
state alliance joining the N. F. A. &
/. u, as we believe it would be detri-
mental to and tend to disorganize the
alliance, there being a deep-rooted
prejudice among many churches and
also among the foreign nationalties
against secret societies..
THAT the open robbery being perpe-
trated upon our farmers and laborers
by charging usurious rates of interest
should be severely met, and we be-
lieve every member of the alliance
should do all in his power to cause
the diScOntinuance of the same.
That no farmer can pay "a per cent
interest and live is a patent fact,
and for any company or person to
take advantage of the times to ex-
tort such rates is a robbery of the
worst order.
And that we pray the next legisla-
ture to add the penalty of imprison-
ment for this Offense. And we
further demand that the law be SO
amended as to make the lender liable
for the acts of agents or sub-agents
in charging usury, whether the len
der authorized or knew of the acts of
the agent or not.
In view of the fact that Warden
Wolfer of the Minnesota state prison
has stated that about one-half of
last years output of Irvine at the
state prison is still on hand, and that
no concerted effort can be made to
dispose of this Irvine and maintain
the institution, except through or
ganizatiOn.
Resolved that we urge upon the
ub-alliances to maintain their or
ganiZatiOn and take steps to pur-
chase the prison Irvine the coming
season; we also urge upon the next
annual meeting of the state alliance
the need of action to the end that the
present plant be not destroyed, for
we realize that the trust still lives.
Resolved, That the agitation in
favor of lower freight rates on all
commodities meets with our hearty
approval, and particularly the case
now pending before the railroad and
warehouse commission for lower
freight rates on wheat.
Resolved, That the secretary cause
copies of the foregoing resolutions to
be published in the following reform
papers Viz: "THE REPRESENTA-
TIVE" "Crookston Tribune" "Mc-
Intosh Times, ""McIntosh Tribune"
est. Hillaire Spectator" "Rodhug-
geren," "Red River Dalen," "Nye
Normanden" and "Fertile Journal"

Growing in North Dakota.

Growing In North Dakota.
Mr.. S. E. Haight, of Milton, N. D.,
writes us:
We are having good populist meet
ings and the feeling is prevalent that
we have got to have "a new DEAL"
The demo-rep party with Voorhees,
and Sherman as leaders, and King
Cleveland as High-cock-a- lorum, is re.
garded with great contempt by a
large majority of the people of this
county. Nevertheless, it will be a
hard fight; but we are in it to the
bitter end. AS Mr.. Donnelly stated
at Omaha, ut is war to the knife,
and the knife to the hilt."
What in thunder do those western
silver men mean by trying to form a
free silver party? II they get all
their silver coined free at the ratio
of Is to l, what more can they ask:
And are we not fighting for that very
thing? I believe it is trick of the
demo-rep party to divide oul
strength.
So far as I have heard our party
followers talking about our principles
they confine themselves almost who'll
ly to the money-plank, only occasion
al reference being made to transpor.
tation, land, income tax, etc. We
must try and get these new party
fellows to "sit down." There is nc
sense in it.

The meeting held Dec. 80, of local
alliance No. sos, was called by the
scribe of this "squib" to ascertain
whether they proposed to con-
tinue to battle for existence, or
beat a retreat and cover into serf-
dom and worship Of the golden
calf"
There was good attendance and
the sense of the meeting was this:
That we keep in line, throw our col
ors to the breeze, and fight manful-
~ on.
The real reason of the alliance
fires dying out in some sections is not
want of fuel-that is, or should Be,
plenty; but lack of ''some Teller" to
stir it up.

and arouse your friends and neighbors
and lido the duty that lies nearest
thee" Let not the curse of your
children and your children's children
fall upon you for sleeping at your
post Of duty.

MORRIS, Mimi, Dec. 20, 1893.
Mr.. EDITOR:
I want to say that in these terri
bly, hard times, have not lost inter-
est in the struggle that is going on
between freedom and despotism. I
have carefully watched the great
battle in congress between the repre-
sentatives of the people, and those
who would defend and protect the
free homes, and liberties of the peo-
pie; and those who would deliver
them to the tender mercies of cold
blooded and cruel, plutocratic power,
that would first plumber and then en-
slave them. These are dangerous
times for this government, dedicated
to liberty, justice and human rights.
Lately l have been reading the
speeches of Senator Stewart of
Nevada, Mr.. Bryant Of Nebraska and
Mr.. Sibley of Pennsylvania; and am
confident that if those speeches
could be read by the farmers of this
state none but fools and scoundrels
would longer vote with the old politi-
cal parties. Cush Davis and Bill
Wahsburn have fairly represented
them by their vote on the repeal bill.
I have but little faith that the alli-
ance will be able to convince the
railroad commissioners that the rail-
road freights are too high at this
time. These gentlemen have all the
facts now; they know all you can tell
them; but unless their masters so d.
rect it is worse than useless to ask
for relief for the people. 1t is pos
sible now that the crop is nearly all
out of the farmers hands, and in or
der to gain little political capital
for. King Knute, small reduction
may be granted. Right and justice
will have no influence, but political
expediency will govern the action
of the commissioners.

Apropos of the agitation of tariff
changes the following Washington
correspondence of the Chicago Herald
is interesting:
"Senator Vance set his colleagues
and spectators in roar by reading in
splendid style the following pastoral
which he said was entitled 1.-THE Girl
With One Stocking" protective
pastoral composed and arranged for
the spinning wheel, and respectfully
dedicated to that devoted friend Of
protected machinery and high taxes,
the Senator from Rhode Island, Mr..
Aldrich:
Our Mary had little lamb,
And her heart was most intent,
To make its wool beyond its worth
Bring So per cent.
But a pauper girl across the sea
Had one small lamb also,
Whose wool for less than half that sum
She'd willingly let go.
Another girl who had no sheep,
Nor stockings, wool nor fax.
But money just enough to buy
A pair without the tax,
Went to the pauper girl to get
Some wool to shield her feet,
And make her stockings, not of fax,
But both of wool complete.
When Mary saw the girls design,
She straight began to swear.
She'd make her buy both wool and tax
Or let one leg go bare.
So she cried out, Protect reformi
Let pauper sheep wool freel
If it will keep both her legs warm
What will encourage me9"
So it was done, and people said
Where'er that poor girl went,
One leg was warm with wool. and one
With Sc per cent.
Now, praise to Mary and her lamb.
Who did this scheme invent,
To clothe one-half girl in wool,
And One-half in per cent.
All honor, too, to Mary's friend,
And all protective acts,
That cheaply clothe the rich in wool
And wrap the poor in tax.
The reading of this piece of dog
gerel was received with shouts Of
laughter, even republican senators
leaning back in their mirth. As for
the people in the galleries, they
screamed and yelled frantically, and
when Senator Vance sat down, kept
up their uprOariOus applause until
the North Carolina orator gravely in
clined his head in Acknowledgement.
