A NEW IDEA.
Why Not Seek to Have Voters Rep
resented by PrOportiOnate Voting.

Why Not Seek to Have Voters Rep
resented by PrOpGrtiOnate Voting.
Mr.. Editor: My thanks are due to some
for sending me a COPY Of the Repre-
sentative. Here, in the East, where l am
soJourning temporarily, in the state of New
York, mental and political fossils abound.
An editor asks THE referendum, what
is that?' The farmers hereabouts have
faint interest in the hungry, weary march
ing men who are but a small portion of the
army who are unable to earn bread by la
Dor, anG are compelled to eat the bread of
charity. They say, 80, we can't get men to
work. and we pay big wages" There will
be mighty change in this section before
the principles of the Peoples Party are
even taken into consideration.
One of the several forcible articles in
your splendid paper, over the signature, 81
d., suggests to me the immense benefit to
the cause of the people which would be ac-
complished by personal representation
the representation of the voter.
l. d. enumerates the votes in respective
districts, Illustration of the fruitless-
ness Of "strong campaigns by good men,
by minority party He also admits that
for Democrats and Republicans to abandon
their party means sundering the old ties
that have bound them for life time. If
as 1. D. states. there are tens Of thousands
of intelligent Democrats and Republicans
who are disguised with their parties these
disguised men could, under the quota sys-
tenn, vote for a candidate who would repre-
sent their will in regard to the remonetiza-
ton Of silver, or any other principle, with
out moving body, boots and baggage into
the Peoples Party" But, more than this
if compulsory district lines in the election
of representatives were abolished and a
quota of voters anywhere in the state could
elect a representative, strong campaigns
by good men would be effective, and voters
would be represented.
Why do voters choose to be thwarted of
their will by political geography? Why do
they prefer to repeat campaigns of failure
while the formation of a progressive poti-
cal movement is in progress of develop
ment?
Why do the anti-monopolists cling to the
monopolistc compulsory district, ballot box
majority, partisan representative system?
James A. Garfield said in 1870: 'In my
judgment it is the weak point in the theory
60 of representative government as now
organized and administered, that a large
portion of the people permanently dis
franchised." Mr.. Garfield was speaking of
male people, who are voters.
If the more than 1900 voters quoted by
I. D., that awaited nothing, had belonged in
quota filled elsewhere in the state those
votes would have been represented in the
legislature congress. The vote would
then execute the freeman's will"
Do the people, the male people who are
voters prefer party fetiShism or a system
Of representation that will make their will
effective in the administration of affairs?

How to Foil the Grain Gamblers.
CROOKsTON. MINI. June 10. 1894.
Editor Representative: have read with
interest the various communications In
your paper in regard to advancing, MAIN
tanning or regulating the price of wheat,
and from the various suggestions and
criticisms therein contained I have come to
think that possibly plan could be adopted
wherein the objections raised as to such an
arrangement could be avoided, and especi-
ally the one raised by one of it's CORE
spondents to the effect that such a move
would have the effect to- raise the price Of
breadstuffs. My plan Is as follows: Or
ganize corporation of the grain growers
of the United States, with a capital Of
S5O.oO0,OOo. The object of said corporation
to be to buy all grain offered on the Board
of Trade throughout the United States at
a less price than cost Of production, said
cost of production to be agreed upon by
the directors of the corporation once each
year, and established by them with the Sec
rotary of agriculture, who should be vested
with such right by the general govern
ment. If these points could be attained, I
have no doubt but that the grain growers
could control or prevent the downfall in
the price of wheat to a ruinous figure. 1t
would harm no one, as it is not proposed
| to attempt to raise the price above cost Of
production, and surely there can be no
| wrong in that. The average farm price
| or wheat for 19 of the grain-raisng states
| in the Union from 1877 to 1890 inclusive, is
abobut IS cents per bushel. The average
| for Minnesota same years is rs cents; the
| lowest was in 1884, 50 cents and the high
| est In 1881, $1.06. AS it stands, it is only
supply and demand that regulates price of
wheat, and l believe that if we could get
| up an arrangement whereby cost of produc-
| ton would also have something to say, a
| point In our favor would be scored. If
| such an arrangement Is made, there will be
| no more need of option laws. Let then,
gamble in wheat to their hearts content
| and we will turn their machinery to our
| advantage. We will let them run it UP
| as high as they choose, but when they
press it down to cost of production. we will
| buy 1t ourselves, and our failure in main
| tanning the price at that figure would only
| be limited by our ability to buy, which,
| with such an arrangement and such a CAPT.
tai. you might say would be unlimited.
| The hardest job for us is, of course, to
| get the necessary capital subscribed II
Is not herculean task, however, as $50, 900,
900 only represents about 10 per cent of the
| value of one years crop, so that If mar
| sells $1,000 worth Of wheat in a year, his amount
| of stock to take would be 500. 1t seems
| to me that even elevator companies and
ralroad companies should take kindly tc
such move, as it would maintain the
price of wheat and thus bring the raising
| or wheat and handling thereof on a more
solid and sure foundation and induce pros
| perity to all. Yours truly,

Gentlemen
We have in this town an organization
pretending to be an exclusive American
society, that is playing the old worked-out
game of the San Francisco Argonaut, to
catch Peoples party voters. and divert
their attention from tie Omaha platform,
One of their alleged facts, which they make
use of in catching suckers, is that there
were in the last legislature but one native
born Americans in the house. and two or
three in the senate Now, I am not wor-
ried if this should be the case; 1 am for
eign born myself; but I want to show
these people that they have been stuffed
VIII the Representative kindly publish the
number of native born Americans in each
house of the last legislature and oblige,

The FalIncy of Protection.

In the last part of an article by Christian
Johnson, of New London, I find one of the
most scathing pieces of irony that 1 have
ever seen.
He praises our so-caled protection"
only demanding little bit of a change, SO
as to make protection" general, instead of
benefiting only two or three classes, as at
present.
The demand that the farmer should have
bounty" for raising wheat. as well as
the sugar planter for raising sugar. GER
tainly is a Just one But when we come to
the question of equal protection to ALL the
folly of the protection theory is at once
exposed.
Some time ago I was in one of our larger
villages which is not temperance town.
A man, evidently under alcoholic influence
who was just going to leave with his team,
was standing by the side of his wagon
and Juggling at his boot straps with might
and main A. boy asked him why he did
so. "Why," said the man, Il am going to
life myself UP into the wagon" you
can't lift yourself up that way said the
boy. But the man swore by 10000 devils
that he could. He had just lifted a weight
of 200 pounds, and he certainly could lift
his own weight, which was only 1870 pounds.
Now the protection theory simply
amounts to this: That nation can lift
itself into prosperity by Juggling at its boot
straps.
"Protection" in order to be just, must,
of course be equally distributed to ALL
The farmer must have bonus for each
bushel of wheat that he raises the black
smith bonus for each shoe that he puts
under the hoof of a horse, and the mer-
chant a bonus for each article that he sells.
The "protection," whether in the form of
bounty or tariff duty, must be paid by
somebody. Let us suppose the protection
consists in bounties. These are paid out OF
the public treasury, into which the money
was gathered, either directly or indirectly
from the taxpayers. Supposing that both
taxation and protection were justly dis
tributed, the result Of the protection"
would be that each protected" citizen gets
back just the amount that he paid into the
protection" fund, minus the expenses of
collecting the tax and distributing the
bounties.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is all that
the protection humbug amounts to.
Respectfully,
p. p. IVERSLEE.

FopuilstS of the state. Hoping that our
people may profit by the wise (?) examnIo
OF these time-honored Republicans. l briefly
relate.
On Tuesday. June 5, the Republicans hold
their county convention for the purpose of
eiecting delegates to the state and con-
gressional conventions
10 disinterested spectator it looked
more like convention to boom the candi-
daow Of w. w Rich for state auditor. AS
coiiiirmatory proof of my position | will

Resolved. That we recognize in w w

with ability, integrity and worthy uualif
cations to ill the office of state auditor for
minnesota, and recommend that the dele
gates to the state convention be requested
to use all honorable means to secure his
nomination for said office. And furtber
recommend that W. w. Rich be allowed to
head said delegation and choose the other
delegates as means of STRENGTHENING his
constituency"
Mr.. Rich explained that he expected there
would be numerous trades made at tha
state convention, and that in order. TO So
sure ms nomination it would be necessary

support of Hennepin and Ramsey.
Inc account says further: "Report of
poth committees were adopted and on mo-
Lon w. W. Rich was elected chairman of
the Delegation and selected the other dele
gates"
Reflect for a moment. Would it not he
amusing If this delegation of geese wera
sWapped OFT for ganders and the whole
nock, with Mr.. Rich stool-piseon thrown
IN, traded IN accordance with some shrewd
scheme previously laid to which Mr.. Rich
was not a party?
All this was very bunliating to the
young men OF tho convention. but the old
line wheel horses tell them that .ssuob ia

The trouble is. they are SO fntoxicatd with
s'over confidence" they are SO surs the =
the state will go overwhelmingly Republi-
can that all they need do in the convention
Is to decide who will hold the offices.
1t Is simply mad scramble for spoil and
