OUR FORUM.

It is part of the purpose Of estab-

ford a forum, in which the brightest
minds in the populist party and in
the farmers alliance can express and
compare their views. g., The es. paper will
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 column, If pos
sible. If you have lengthy commun-

letters of it. Avoid personalities.
Don't write unless you have some
thing to say; and let each letter

readers better and wiser by what

KEEP OFF THE GRASS.

What the deuce ails the country?
The tariff bill don't pass.
Grover off a fishing
And Coxey stepped on the grass.
Old Sherman knocked out silver.
And the people curse his brass.
Grover sporting in the dismal.
And cop knocks Coxey off the grass.
Labor starving by the million.
1t can't quite live on gas,
The coal baron shoots the miner
And Coxey bites the grass
Our senators are taking Doodle;
Then on to fame they pass;
But CoXey goes to prison,
For just stepping on the grass.
How long before right will triumph?
AS through this vale we pass,
Will the blood of the supplicant
Always stain the nations grass?
Then arouse. We hungry toilers,
Come forth in solid mass,
Storm the pleutocratic ballot-boX;
If you have to tramp the grass.

Editor Representatives. see in a late is
sue of your paper that some one wants
the name or designation of just one nation
al bank that has failed and cheated it's de-
positors, and 1 was considerably astonished
that the Representative did not give him a.
list of a half dozen or so, until I found
that l could not do it myself.
While 1 know of a number of national
banks in New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio
Alabama, Illinois and Missouri 1 can give
the full name of only one of the whole
number, every one which has failed and
cheated its depositors.
The Fifth National Bank of ST. Louis
Mo-. failed some time in the winter of 1887
1888, and cheated it's depositors out of a.
vast amount, but made a speciality of laun-
dry women, newSbOyS and other poor peo-
pie.
But why kick especially on national
banks? Are not savings banks and trust
companies much protected and encour-
aged by law as the national bank?
am credibly informed that today there
is concern In Minneapolis taking money
on deposit on seven years time at a high
rate of compound9iinterest; that the mem
bers of the concern are living like kings

The Representative has established a rep
resentation and if it were not for the ex-
IRENE restitution of money it would not be
in the least difficult to obtain any num-
Der Of subscribers. 1 have had two school
house meetings, one on June 16, and one
last night. Both were well attended and
was really surprised-not at the number of
auditors but on account of their former
political creed.
In times past very few Democrats would
attend a Republican meeting, and hardly
any Republicans would ever attend Dem
ocratic meeting. At the first meeting the
Democrats and Republicans, that WERE
constituted more than three-quarters of the
attendance. At the last meeting l cannot
be sure of giving approximate correct
ratio but venture to say that it was about
the same, and while l far from saying
that all who attend will vote the Popuist
ticket. 1 feel that a great forward stride
is made when people begin to think and
attend those meetings which will make
them shift their thinking caps SO they
will think more.
1 should be glad if the people in Clay
county would arrange those little school
house meetings, to attend them if sufficient
notice We're given and had no engage
ments on the same day elsewhere. They
need not fear an account of expense as no
hat will be passed around nor any collection
made for the services of myself, but I
would make an effort to get subscriptions

Grain GrOwersS Convention.

EIlOT REPRESENTATIVE
This is one of the grandest moves of the
present age. That thai grain growers can
cooperate and work together to protect
themselves from the spoliation of the grain
gamblers and money pnwer, is a. move de-
voutly to be wished. Scan any well bah
anced farmer object to- joining an associa-
ton that would have sthe power to open
free trade to the markets of the world for
his products, instead of having the price of
his grain set by a cotere of gamblers :?
He might have word to say in the matter
himself. Co-operation-united Efforts the
secret of fair dealing and equal rights to
all.
The few thousand traders that control the
markets of the United States work to-
gether. They are united in their work. and
control the millions of producers who try
to run an independent race. We, as grain
growers, must unite and work together if
we expect to have fair deal in the mar
kets of the world. Individuals cannot
hold their own under our present greedy
social system. We must organize We
must show a solid, systematic front to our
business, to gain and hold respect In the
business world Can we do it? Yes If
we WILL and l think we WILL

Big Meeting of the County Alliance
Eric Olson Made n Hot Speech
Prison Irvine Endorsed.
GRANITE FALLS, Mimi, June 15-The
semi-annual meeting of the Yellow Medicine
County Alliance was held in the village of
Hanley Falls on Tuesday, June u. The at
tendance was quite large and a lively in
terest was manifested in general Alliance
work. AS it had been given out that the
question of purchasing Irvine from the
state prison would come up for discussion
and final adjustment, quite a number inter-
ested In this particular part of the pro-
gramme came in to participate. Commune
cations from Warden Wolfer, explanatory
OF all necessary procedure in ordering to-
gether with price, terms and conditions
OF sale, also samples of the prison twine
were placed on the secretary's desk After
the reading of the communication and an
examination of the samples a rising vote
was taken to determine the sentiment for
or against patronizing the prison plant
The result of this vote showed as did also
the sentiment brought out in discussion,
tnat there was strong determination on
the part of the farmers of this county to
encourage and sustain the manufacture of
tWlne at the state prison. The motion that
we establish general agency for hand
ling the prison Irvine in Yellow Medicine
county," was carried by the same unan-
unity, and Mr.. G. c. Baker was appointed
agent, with headquarters at Granite Falls.
The newly elected officers are: President,
o. c.. Wilson; vice-president, C. G. Nelson:
secretary, e. B. Day; treasurer, L. S. Or
well; county lecturer, J. ]. Mooney; busi-
ness agent, J. ]. Mooney
Mr.. Erick Olson, deputy state lecturer
was present and during the absence of the
committee on credentials treated the audi
ence to a half-hourS talk on needed and de-
feated legislation. He threw some hot shots
INTO the enemys camp and not little
abuse. Had his remarks been shorn of the
latter element and delivered in a meeting
other than a strictly Alliance business meet
ing they would have met with more general
favor However, Mr.. Oson's speech was
we'll received, many regretting that time
did not permit more of it. The following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
F'irst-Whereas there is an attempt being
made to form a threshers' combination or
trust, and that many of our threshing ma
chine managers have Joined said combine
therefore, ask the cooperation of our
brother farmers in refusing to patronize
those who have joined said combine, and to
encourage and patronize those who have
not.
Second-That we earnestly ask our
brother farmers to join in patronizing
our states prison Irvine plant at Still
water.
Third-That we extend our thanks to the
village council of the village of Hanley
Falls for the free use of their hall.
Fourth-That the secretary be instructed
to furnish report of this meeting to the
Representative and the Reform Advocate.

Good Words From Wheaton.

Editor REPRESENTATIVES,:
The Peoples party in this county will
sweep everything before it this fall Our
people favor Owen for governor and he will
no doubt get a handsome majority in this
country. The Republicans and Democratic
parties have preached to us all these wears
and promised us prosperity by voting for
them. We have done so and now we have
got it-begsing for bread! No man who
loves his country should fail to vote the
Peoples party ticket this fall. L.

After two or three false alarms the Central Park
tennis courts were opened Saturday to the many
players who frequent these grounds. The courts
arc in better condition this year than they have
been any year since the grounds were opened
eight or nine years ago. All this Is due. on the
lower grounds especially, to the change In the
management Of them. Every court on the upper
grounds had its group Of young tennis enthusiasts
but their patience severely tried by the many
May parties which surrounded the grounds on all
sides, and whose members were continually rum
ming across the courts. This Inconvenience Will
continue long, for with the arrival OF June the
May parties are longer allowed on the grounds.

to be found not all in readiness. Among
the better players who were on the grounds were
