THE SHAM FIGHT.


For years past the Democrats and Re-
publicans have filled the heavens with their
outcries over the tariff questionable clamor
of the contending hosts has been terrible;
the smoke of battle darkened the sun. The
Democrats assured us that they were for
free trade; and if they obtained power they
would wipe out all protection" and give
the West cheap goods; and the West be-
lieved them. The Republicans played on
the other string and told the workmen Of
the East that the death Of protection
meant the end of employment for them;
and the workmen believed them Two years
ago the hard times gave the Democrats
complete and absolute possession of power
in all branches. What has been the result? :?
The whole pretense Of free trade is blown
to the winds. 1t loS1s as if both Republic

THE STATE CONVENTION
Of the Peoples Party of Minnesota
The Call Out for the Greatest Pop
ulfst Convention Ever Held in the
State-Leh All Hands Get Ready.

In the foregoing will be found
the call of the State Central Com
mittee for the State Convention of
the Peoples party of Minnesota.
The committee went straight ahead,
sin the middle of the road;" and
there is no doubt the convention, in
the same spirit, will nominate their
own ticket, without "fusion" with
any one.
This convention will be the great
est and most important ever held in
this state. 1t will name the winning
ticket. Our advices from all parts
are that the hard times are making
converts for US by the thousand,
every day and hour. The principles
of the Omaha platform are becoming
constantly more popular. There is
no more talk about 'calamity howl
ers." The people are all ''howling"
together now; and no one has any de-
sire to mock another. We are all in
the soup in a bunch.
Let us call the attention Of our
friends to the following item of
news:
"ANDERsON, Ind, April 26.-The
Populists of this county, including
Leroy Templeton, candidate for gov
ernor, in 1892, are at the head of a
movement to have all delegates go
overland in buggies and wagons to
the state convention, which will be
held in Indianapolis about May %.
The movement has been kept very
quiet. Letters have been sent out to
all of the county central committees,
asking them to interest their dele
gates in the scheme. They propose
to start three or four days ahead of
time and allow time to stop and
make speeches. As they gradually
draw near to indianapolis they will
form into platoons. Many of the
counties have been heard from and
every one in favor of the scheme"
Why would this not be good plan
for the Peoples party of Minnesota
to initiate? 1t would certainly work
we'll for the Populists living within
100 or 15O miles of Minneapolis. Ar
rangements will be made for cheap
stabling; and farmers could bring
their own feed with them. They
could gather at certain points, and
have one or two speakers with each
troop, and hold meetings every night
"a la Coxey." Why not? All that is
needed to revolutionize this state is
energy and courage. We have got
the facts the arguments and the
conditions to give victory"
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-05-02

1.-THE census of 1890 states that the total
accumulated wealth of the nation is about
$50, 900 600, 900. One-half of this is held by
81 600 persons, or one-twentieth Of one per
cent of our population averaging 81, 900 900
each. The remainder possess an average
of $500 each. Is it any wonder with this
wholesale congestion of wealth that the in
dustrial system is paralyzed and that mil
lions of men are out of work. A contracted
market follows in the wake Of concentrated
wealth, and contracted currency"
Wouldn't it be a good idea to '1et the
molasses run for another 80 years. under
the management Of the two-one old party i?
The only difficulty is that sheol will break
loose long before that time. 1t is the bal
lot box bullets. II you don't use your
brains you will have to use your guns.
Which shall it be-? ID.
