Fight on, Bro Donnelly; you are doing
well.
John F. Diamond, Sank Center, Mimi,
says:
Il have been reader of your paper for
some time, and am so we'll pleased with
it's teaching and especially so with your
writings that I herewith tender you my
check for 81 in payment of the same
wishing you success in your noble work
H. c. Kibbie, Oblong, ILL.,, says:

ton. If l paid my whole Indebtedness

for your valuable paper, but with wheat
at 43 cents per bushel and everything

Dear Sir: Find enclosed two dollars to

year. l like your paper better every
time l read it. There is no better paper
in broad America. 1 wish you success"
Mr.. J. Haggerty of 1O1 w 55th St., New
York, sends us an able pamphlet on "The
Platform of 1896" and writes us:
''The income tax decision shows that
we can get no progressive legislation un-
der present conditions. Let us therefore
refuse to submit our legislation to any
court less supreme than that of the
voting population, and confine our pres
ent demand to free coinage and the refer
endum. The other issues to be named;
but to await the decision of the refer
endum, when we secure that right. Such
a platform would, believe, be satisfac-
tory to the most radical and the most
timid reformer
IF you can dispose of any of these
can furnish them for 81 per 100, for what
you use, postage prepaid. or you can print
them yourself, don't want to make any
thing on them"
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1895-11-27

How long will the present conditions last
Is there no hope? Will greed never relax
its grip? VIII the toil:ng masses ever be
brainy enough to understand their rights?
In this country the political power is
equally divided among men. Bellamy
says, 80 per cent of the people own 81 per
cent of the wealth in this country" That
leaves 81 per cent Of the people owning
only 8 per cent of the wealth. In other
words, per cent of the people control tho
finances and politics of this country. Who
can comprehend the stupidity at the bot
tom of all this?
Every issue of your excellent paper is
holding out new inducements, and pre-
miums, begging the people to read; but it
is not needed Will they never cultivate
their brains? Will they always resort to
the club to put into force discovered
right? Why was the proclamation issued?

ducements held out to the public, let us
hope III will reach every home in the land.
| always feel grateful that among the
papers that accommodate themselves to
civilization, for no other motive than to
subdue that civilization, there are papers
and books to be had, that puts man in
his proper sphere lifts HIM out Of super
stition and ignorance-in short-teaches

WANTS A DAILY POP

Editor Representative:
We are selling potatoes at cents. oats
at 13 cents and barley at 1871 to 10 cents.
Consequently feel rich enough to pay
up my subscription to the Representa-
tive. You have deadheaded me long
enough on your list (thanks for the
seme). 1 hope all your delinquents will
follow my example and forward you their
dollars.
I would like to subscribe for Populist
daily paper. Is there any published in
the Twin Cities you could recommend as
being true blue to the Omaha platform?

OUR NEXT NATIONAL PLATFORM

WHAT SHOULD IT BE?
Editor Representative:
am not OF the number of those who
propose to believe that the Omaha plat
form it too large
1t has only three planks-finance land
and transportation-and 1 think it ought
to have more.
In my opinion the initiative and refer
endum system of legislation should be
the first plank in the platform.
The second plank should demand the
abolition of Ia1i private banks of issue.
which would embrace our present So
called national banks.
The third plank should demand the es-
Enlistment of postal savings banks for
the safe deposit Of the earnings of the
people.
The fourth plank should demand that
the national government be made the
banking establishment of the nation.
that its legal tender notes be loaned to
the people on real estate or other good
security at rate of interest not exceed
ing per cent per annum, and that the
volume of money be speedily increased
to not less than $50 per capita.
The fifth plank should demand the nav
ment of the bonded debt of the nation
with legal tender treasury notes bearing
no int5rest-in strict accordance with the
original contract.
The sixth plank should demand free
coinage of gold and silver bullion at the
ratio of 16 to 1, and the decentralization of
an gold and silver coins, except fraction
al coins. g>Tf,o h..
q The seventh plank should demand gov
eminent ownership of railroads and all
other great mOnOpolies.
The eighth plank should demand that
all land now held by railroad and other
corporations in excess of their actual
needs. and all lands now owned by aliens
shall be reclaimed by the government
and'held for actual settlers only.
And the ninth plank should demand
that no public official in the employ of
this nation shall receive more than IS a
day for his services.
The last plank would be the most pop-
ular of all. The Peoples Party cannot
be too bold and aggressive. We must
hold our grip and Ego forward" We
get all the virtue there is in the referen
dunn plank when we put it at the head OF
the platform. There is power in the 9TH
er planks also. Our candidate for presi-
dent should be farmer, and our cant]i-
datet for vice president should be me-
chanic, who would command the respect
and support of the labor element, Far
mers and wage workers will sweep the
country if we can get them united under
ethe Populast banner. We have nothing

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
RAILROADS,

We notice that Hon. l.. G. Long is con-
tributing to the Magnolia Advance
There is no better posted man in this dis
trict than Mr.. Long and we are glad to
read his articles. Here is one under the
above heading
The argument of Attorney General
Childs against the consolidating of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Railways is too long for most people to
read, but here is an extract which Re-
publicans especially should read and
ponder over:
THE era of railroad building is in the
main past. New rivals in a given field
need not now be expected. Certainly,
no new rival in the great field comman-
ded by the two companies in question
will appear in our generation. The
words of Mr.. Garfield may prove pro-
phetic.
We have tried he says, laisez fain
policy and it has failed; we have tried
meddlesome politics and it has failed al
so. We have now to meet the coming day
when all the railways, having completed
their several systems, may, and probably
in their own interest will, combine to-
gether to take advantage of the public.
In the face of this contingency we have
simply to make our choice between two
alternatives-either to let the state man.
age the railways, or let the railways man.
age the state.''
Now you have denounced the Populists
as cranks, anarchists, regulators and
confiscators of property, talk to the argu-
ment of your Republican attorney-gen
eral and blaspheme the name of the i'm
mortal Garfield if you dare Where now
is the hobo with the grin on his face like
a chimpanzee begging for peanuts, who
says you might as we'll talk of owning
all the stores as to talk of owning the
railways ?-Mankato Journal.

tocracy, receiving big salaries, free rail-
road passes, and half fare tickets, to
arouse from their savage lethargy and
drive the money changers and usurers
from the temples of our country as
Christ, our Savior, done them.
AS divine providence heard the pray
ers or three millions of an enslavad race
and gave them liberty, who can doubt
that he has heard the prayers of the
starving millions in the midst of plenty,
of the citizens of our once republic, and
has opened the ears of the nation for JUS
tice and right?
Be Of good cheer, oh, my countrymer,
deliverance is near. Cease party and
partisan strife and petty differences. En-
roll yourselves under the flag of the Peo-
pies Party, which is the only organized
reform party that tyrants and despots
fear Spread the truth among the peo-
pie. Every man who loves his country
get at least one new subscriber for The
Representative, edited by the greatest
American citizen and greatest patriot.

AN OLD SOLDIER SEES RELIEF CON-
ING FROM PROVIDENCE.
Editor Representatives:
3'The great Spirit is on earth this
morning" is what old Shakopee, a Sioux
chief, said to me on fine autumn morn
ing like this when Minnesota was a ter
ritory. And as I think of our common
country, I verify believe God and the
spirit of liberty is abroad in our land.
When see the wonderful progress that
the reform movement has made, by and
through the Peoples Party, l am filled
with wonder and amazement and see the
hand of divine providence aiding my
country.
The power of despotic administration
by the money power of the world crushed

gospel who have laid at the feet of plu-

PROBSTFIELD'S VIEWS.

THE VETERAN LEADER FAVORS ALL
REFORMERs GETTING TOGETHER
HOW GAN IT BEST BE DONE?
Editor Representative:
There are thousands of Democrats and
Republicans who conscientiOusly disap-
prove of the financial policy of either
of the old parties. If they are honest and
sincere they cannot in the future vote
with their respective parties. Taking
into consideration all the elements of
backing goldolators can and will bring
to bear on the councils of both old par
ties, it becomes almost moral certainty
that both party platforms will set up the
idol Of the golden calf for their adherents
to worship and sustain. A great deal of
agitation seems to be now going on in the
direction of forming new party or par
ties. Four or five political parties in the
field in 1896 will scarcely leave doubt
that gold will triumph. If there is sense
enough left to our people the financial
Issue should be made the pivotal question
in our next presidential campaign. 1t
can only be done by providing suf-
ficient and acceptable standing room for
all the dissenters from the two old par
ties; whatever that may require is a mat
ter OF opinion and study for the delegates
at the next national Peoples Party con-
vention, which should be held at any ear
ly date. Let the Peoples Party members
speak out in meetin'. This should be
done without delay.
| ask question: How much will you
ccncede to the dissenters from monomet-
allism? With how little of the Omaha
platform will you be satisfied to still work
as hard in the Peoples Party cause as you
did before to sweep the country in 1896?
Let us have your suggestion at an
early date. The Omaha platform is good
enough for me, but there are not suf-
f1cient number Of voters now who think
so to achieve success. l will make my
proposition to show that l am ready for
concessions.
Let us preserve the LIST and I'd of
Union of the People" of Finance" The
after the word people. The next three
lines after the 18th line. The next two
Inns, stopping after the word Increased"
and the last four lines of article Ell
nance" This is counted according to the
Omaha platform as published in The
Representative. In order to make this
brief enough to come within the inter
diction, 800 words, could not do the SUBJ
ject full justice confined to the space as
requested, but, in order to give others
space also, the limit set is reasonable.
Now, Brother Populists, offer your ideas
on the altar of The Representative

Editor Representative:
Please find inclosed $500 which credit

monopoly is just and holy one. Truth
is mighty and must prevail.
l believe that the twin crime of demon
citation of silver is the indiscriminate
importation of foreign labor. For cap
ital combines, limits production and
forces prices up; while labor has to COM
pete with the open market of the world.

cinct gave Elmer King, the Peoples par

that he knew Mrs. Cougar as a person of

but understood that she had the reputa-
ton of being personal, vindictive and
abusive in public speech. Senator Nc
Pherson, of New Jersey, and Eliza Hal

rotary, had informed him that Mrs. Gou-
gar had received money from both polite

London, Nov. 1.-THE Times says of
the elections "The elections have again
surprised American politicians. The re-
publicans were victorious beyond all ex-
pectations. The failure to break Tam
many is discouraging. Such is the state
of American politics in the absence of any
great issue(except the tariffs and the cur

are unable or unwilling to to range them
selves face to face)that it is impossible to
predict the result of the presidential cleo
