Mr.. DOnnelly's Services.

To the Editor:
Find enclosed 81 for continuation of your
paper to my address. l think the Repre-
sentative the greatest reform paper in the
country. I take great pleasure in reading
the able writings and pointed remarks of
that aggressive contributor, l. D. In pro-
gressive craftsmanship the sage is easily
in the lead of all teachers on economic
thought. His encourag ing words to the
weary student and impa tent voter have
added new brilliants to his crown of great
ness. He is doing a work that will not
have to be done over agin. To organize
and educate men to a higher mental status.
and the getting of them to accept a little
more of home state and national respon-
sibiity, has invited persecution in all ages.
Vigorous tongues and driveling pens only
make MinnesOta's great lion roar the
louder.
Long may he live to roar. Respectfully
yours, LEW PALMER

DO YOU ECONOMIZE:
How to Do 1t without Being Made
Entirely Miaecu BILE.

There are all sorts of ways Of econo-
MIXING" remarked Mrs. Pipkins, who was
having chat with her particular chum,
Mrs Timpson, and was in philosophic
mood, says the Washington Star. Some
methods are uncomfortable as possible
some as little so. Indeed I have praC ticed
economies that were rather fun. Mr.. Pip
kin's method is of the very worst possible
sort He gives up his glass of wine with
his dinner and his cigars. The result is
that he feels the grind of poverty very
hard, indeed-and gets exceedingly cross
over it,
II should think that wine and cigars
We're the natural things to give UP first
when one was ecOnomiZing,' said Mrs.
TimpSon, who is not a philosopher.
Natural! Why, l call it simply 1idicu-
lous-unless one were really in want. L
once heard man say that at pinch he
could get along without some of the neces-
saries of life-but without the luXuries,
never. They were what made life endura-
BILE. Well, l have always sympathized with
that man. When I want to plan economies
l always provide myself with a box of
French candies and then l sit down and
think real hard about%what can be given
up without discomfort.
Last fall we, in common with most Of
our neighbors, found our income somewhat
reduced, and that dear, silly old man OF
mine Immediately began to make himself
wretched by giving up his little luxuries
l stood it for several days, until he sug-
gested that we had better give up desserts
to which he is exceedingly partial, and then
] ordered a box of his favorite cigars and
a gallon of wine / also got my favorite
box of candy and settled down for long
argument.
How did it end? Oh, I showed Mr..
Pipkins on paper that by sending away
one of the servants and wearing last year S
clothes, could have our desserts and lit
tie extravagances, and really not feel sc
horribly poor, after all. We need not feel
obliged to save fares at the expense
of our legs, as some people l know always
do when they economic. Really, the
most heartrending and temper-spoling
way of saving is that which keeps up APP
pearances at the cost of comfort.
Yes; 1 know you think me horribly ex-
travagant because l do not count my pen
MES; but just there lies the secret of not
feeling poor To have a small income is
very endurable hardship if only one
keeps down the big expenses as not
to have to deny ones self the trif1es.
Like Les petites miseres de la vie hui
maine, which assured on very
good authority the hardest ones to
bear it is the little pleasures that make
life enjoyable. Life is made up of small
things. To have one big economy is a
bore, of course, but to refrain every time
you want glass of soda water or cigar
or car fare, is a constant source of irri-
tation and very bad for the temper, l am
sure"
But l have bored you long enough with
my views of life, and so l will say good
by and go home. and that my dear old
man has something good for his dinner

A BIG GOLD BOOM

"A Big GUILD BUM.
You have probably heard a rumor, and
put no confidence in it, that Colorado is to
nave a big gold boom in the spring; but it
is as true as truth can we'll be. Our gold
production went up last year to ST., 600 600,
and tbs year, from present appearances,
there will not be less than $4,000, Co., Our
silver mines, in most mining districts, ran
more or less in gold. Mirabile dictu! of
late the yield of gold has largely increased.
Cripple Creek is almost wholly gold camp,
and poor mans camp because the gold
Is found near the surface. Every week it
is sending to the smelterS carloads of ore
that will run % ounces gold to the ton
$500 a ton!
Leadvllle, originally a placer gold field
Tin California gulch), afterwards almost en-
tirely silver (carbonate), has greatly
larged it's area of production, and
runs most heavily in gold but is a deep
mining camp, frequently 500 feet below the
porphyry rock. There are in many parts of
the state huge moraines, the debris of gla
clers that in ages gone by covered the
land, that are spread on the surface in va
rying thickness, which make placers of
pay mineral in gold. Creede formerly a
silver camp, is lately yielding as much or
more gold than silver. If the two old par
ties continue their insensate and criminal
policy of the single gold standard, Colorado
will probably suffer the least of any state.

THE GREAT FINANCIER.

(Written for the Representatives
A great financier
Is Senator Queer
He saved from paltry five thousand a
year
Ten millions or more,

To keep the wolf, Want from his fine pal
ace door.
1t once came to pass
He looked in the glass
And saw poor fellow with nothing but
brass.
Benevolent? Yes
No words express
His love for the poor He relieved his dis
tress
And made that poor fellow a brazen suc-
cess.
plain workingman,
Without any plan
But to make both ends meet as we'll as he
can.
Perchance might save all
His wages, though small,
If he lived upon air, read nothing at all
And dressed in the costume of Adams first
ball
To save evry cent
In view of the rent
OF a Washington lot and a Coxeyite tent,
Is surely feat
That cannot be beat
By any professional, all-around cheat.
Suppose one could clear
Five thousand q year,
To save up ten millions, like Senator Queer,
Would take, you see,
AS all will agree,
Just two thousand years for yourself or for
me.
How old or how wise must the senator be!
Now was it by chance
This king of finance
Did quickly his income so greatly enhance?
The nation should share
Prosperity rare
If fortunes like his come from earth or
from air.
Is genius displayed
When fortunes are made
By agents who thrive while their principals
fade.
And fail, nothing worth?
Oh. land of my birth.

earth?"

THE PLATFORM.


MIR. Lund Suggests Changes in 1t.
To the Editor
l have read Il. ID. s article in the Repre-
sentative -on one or more planks in our
platform. The first plank in our platform
is the one that will draw the most votes to
our standard, but if we should amend the
unlimited clause in it, in section 6. and let
it read something like this: I'VE demand
free coinage of silver and gold, at the pres
ent legal ratio of 16 to L. and thereby con-
vey the idea that silver and gold have the
same rights at the mnts, we would remove
the greatest stumbling block in our finan-
cial plank for there are a great many
voters who can't see it in that light, and
who believe there would be nothing else

selves to that task. No dependence can be
placed on silver Democrats or silver Re

who are really in favor of our silver plank
are already members of the Populist party;

voted Republican at the late election, knew

THE DOCTORS.
A Correspondent Criticises Senator
Barr's Bill.


To the Editor:
In relation to the bill introduced by Sem
ator Barr to restrict the practice of medi-
cine to those who have passed through a
certain course, I wish to say few words
additional. The Peoples party is strug-
Cling for reform. It is opposed to all spe-
cies of monopoly, class legislation and
whatever tends to enrich the few at the ex
pense of the masses. Hence, from my
standpoint l cannot aid Senator Barr in
his effort to build up one of the worst
monopoles on earth; for If 1t can be shown
that there is any sciencefto the practice Of
medicine, the allopathic system in partic-
ular, and that he who has been through
their schools is alone inapossession of this
science, then there might be some reason
for the passage of such a law; but inteli-
gent experience precludes any such conclu-
sion, forcing us to the opposite conclusion.
that there is no science about it. The
time has happily gone by when one styl-
ing himself a doctor is regarded with feel
ings allied to venera ton. Thank the pow
ers that be. true science is invading the
world and in time is sure to conquer and
supplant the ignorance by virtue of which
a mighty army of doctors have grown rich.

license fanaticism.. 1t is tantamount to
saying my neighbOr shall not eat at all I'M
less he eats just such as do. If my neigh
Dor is able to purchase an all wool suit,
has he any right to compel me to go with
out entirely unless l buy one as costly?
The fact is, Mr. Editor. and no sophistry
can gloss it, when attempt to determine
by law what man shall eat drink or
wear, or whom he shall employ when sick
to doctor him, despotism is our sure and
certain goal I consider the high license
system one of the most cruel monopolies
that ever cursed the world. Any business
