CALLING IN VAIN.

The Chicago Chronicle is loudly calling
for party leader. 1t says the country
is looking for Democratic leader, man
who has the confidence of the people, to
become a candidate for the presidency.
The Chronicle also says that this sort Of
a man has the opportunity to make one
great speech and spring into full blown
popularity at leap.
The country is becoming distrustful of
it's brilliant phenomenonIand over-prais-
ed agents of foreign capital called states
men, They have acquired the habit Of
telling the people how earnestly they lovet
them and then voting to put the screws
on harder than ever. What the country
wants is less British craftsmanship, mas
querading in American garments, in con-
gress and the white house, and more COM
mon honesty and business sense coupled
with little real regard for the domestic
Preside, instead.
1t is safe to say that no one man in the
Democratic party as dominated by the
faction the Chronicle supports can ever
leap at bound into the confidence of the
people as a leader and as a safe man to
elect president. The brand of his mas
ter Is too plainly 10 De seen ON every pup
lie man whose record IS now known to
the public, to be disguised In order to
succeed the Democratic party has got to
get down on it's marrow bones and seek
the means of success in the homes Of the
laboring men and farmers of the country
from whence came the misguided vote
that sent Cleveland to the White House
in 1892 AS Differed at present the par
ty will not do this. New men at the
wheel, new American citizens in the lead,
who have discarded the old political
trumpery and taken up living questions
alone can do this. The old Democratic
party does not harbor them.-Jamestown

THE PIRACY ACT OF 1873

BUSINESS MANS PRIVATE LETTER.
Editor Representative:
Is there not something wrong In a
great nations financial condition when a
few individuals can at will send off our
gold and break down the price of all
kinds of property throughout the coun-
try? oh! what deep-laid scheme of
speculation and scoundrelism was that
act of piracy, by sea and by land, in 1878?
And how we'll it has worked for the free
hooters ever since? 1t will be sad COM
ment upon the intelligence of the Ameri-
can people if we fail to overthrow this
gang of national wreckers next year. l
fear we are only fit for slaves at best, for
no people will submit to wrong and mis-
government when their intellectual and
moral standard is higher than their con-
dition. Only look at our grain markets
of last Friday, when we had little adj
vance and producers began to feel lit
tie more hopeful, when gold shipments of
the very next day sent wheat down to
the lowest level within my remembrance
of twenty years in the grain business.

VOTE RIGHT.

The majority of voters only see the
immediate present, hence vote to secure
"a job" and by SO doing ruin their flu
ture and the future of their children.
They vote for a little breathing spell,
for full stomach for few days, instead
of voting for conditions that will not
only benefit themselves permanently but
will also insure success for their poster
ity. They vote for an "eight-hour'' sys-
tenn instead of voting for a life system.
For heavens sake, think, reflect Don t
be induced to enslave your children for
brief respite. Vote for permanent re-
lief.-Tacoma Sun.

Editor Representatives:
l have known you for thirty years or
more, and have admired your character
you are doing a noble work. You are
also getting what all reformers, in all
the ages past, have gotten abuse, SLAM
der, and all manner of persecution. I
sympathize with you and hope you may
live, as few reformers have done before
you, to see the fruits of your labors. Re-
member they killed prophets and stoned
those that were sent unto them, but after
awhile their children garnished their
sepulchors. So will it be with you.

is OUR SYSTEM THE BEST? ARE WE
CoDDLING THE UPPER RANKS TO
THE INJURY OF THE COMMON
PEOPLE?
Editor Representative:
In the Aug. issue Of Farm, Stock and
Home I noticed a very able article by
Prof Downey, entitled, Educating the
Children Prof. Downey spoke of the
inefficiency of the country schools in
many places and the tendency of farmers
in some localities to shorten the length of
the school term and send their children
for only few months in the year.
In the Aug. IA issue of the Representa-
tive certain e. H. Dodge comes at this
article in meaningless, nonsensical har-
angue, evidently for the purpose of see
ing his name in print, but serving simply
as manifestation of his ignorance. Mr..
Dodge drifts away from his subject and
begins to talk about the number of far
mers' boys and girls at the normal schools
and other city schools. 1t is true that
many farmers children attend CITY
schools. Many attend city schools at a
large expense to their parents and in
convenience to themselves that could re-
ceive the same instruction in the coutry
school if it were made what it should be.
But apart from the few that owing to ia
vorable circumstances are enabled to re-
ceive the privileges of city schools is the
vast majority that must receive their en-
tire school education in the country
schools, which are in many cases not only
not what they are capable of being made,
but are disgrace to the educational sys-
tenn of modern America. Americans may
well feel proud of their colleges and uni
versities, with towers ascending into the
heavens colleges that yearly send forth
thousands of capable young men and wo-

universities, normal schools and high
schools are yearly graduating SO many ef-
ncient teachers there is no need OF hav-
ing our country schools taught by the

Dodge spoke Of the intelligence Of his

is very little, but the difference in the
results is inestimable.

1t is urged that Russia and India are
pouring out wheat in extraordinary
quantities. In truth, the exports of Rus
sian wheat last year were less than in
1890 and 1891. India began to export
wheat only after 1873. She does SO be-
cause her great annual tribute to Eng
land, like ours, is paid in commodities;
and as prices fall greater quantity is
required to pay the same amount of debt.
India and Russia are famine countries.
The people have no surplus food for ex-
port. When they do export food, they do
so because they must, not at all because
they have more than they can eat.

THE THEORY OF OVER PRODUC-
TION.

An attempt has been made to account
for the fall of prices upon the theory that
there is overproduction. 1t is unreason-
able to ask us to believe that there has
been an overproduction all along the
line for twenty years. and the fact that
millions of men have not enough food
or clothing is sufficient to demonstrate
that the theory is absurd. Take wheat
for example. The belief is general that
this country constantly expands its
wheat growing area. In truth, we had
100000 acres less in wheat in 1890 than
we had in 1880. The wheat crops of the
world are not excessive. They do not
increase as fast as the requirements of
the population demand. Here are the
figures for ten years:

We believe that 1t would pay the
cable company itself much better
to make the rates one-fourth Of
those in the contract. The re.

1t is hypothecating the rights of
the people, for two decades to

of the country. Indeed, we do
not believe that the outrageous

A HASTY JOB.


ate and precipitate Legislation
enacted as that of the ratifica
ton of the cable contract with
Col. Spaldipg. An act had just
been passed authorizing the Gov
eminent to make a contract with
any other government or any cor
poration in the world for
the work; but before any
other Government or any cor
poration is made acquainted with
the opportunity, or with the fav-
orably terms this Government
could offer, an individual is dele -
gated with all the powers of the
Government in the premises.
With nothing but a speculative
standing, this individual is given,
in the hollow Of his hand, the en-
tire prospects of even the initial
i've of a cable scheme for the
space of eighteen months. A
member of the Chamber of Com
merce approved of rushing this
work through, because, as he
thought, it would prevent a delay
of another year in getting a cable
scheme on foot, 1t is quite prob
able that the giving Of this con-
tract will cause delay of half as
long again as that apprehended.
All of the power of proffering aid
or of rejecting propositions how
ever favorable, given to the Gov.
eminent by its own cable bill of
this session, are deliberately sur
rendered to a shrewd Spectator
under a forfeit that need not be
exacted if he draw out of the
compact before the time granted
him in which to sell the fran
ohise. His $4,000 in Govern
ment bonds are not to become
liquidated damages to the Gov
ernment unless he make o bargain
with some corporation within
eighteen months, and that cor
poratjon begin the work and then
leave it unfinished. When that
stage had been reached the
speculator would have pocketed
enough out Of his sale of the fran
ehise to make him Indifferent to
the loss of the bonds IN question.
Although it is useless now to
dilate upon the wretched terms
made for the country in the con-
tract, now that the mischief has
been done beyond repair, yet it is
proper in the name of the public,
that has not been consulted in the
matter, to record the strongest
protest against the transaction.
The rates are entirely too high, 80
high that the operators will be
idle most of the time. Half of
the maximum rates mentioned in
the contr ct would probably re-
suit in three or four times the
amount of business without anv
more operators. 1t is prescribed
that the cable must have q capa-
city of fifteen words a minute.
Mr.. Thurston has given an es-
innate that it would take sixty
messages day to yield
n revenue of 100000 a year.
That number of messages would
pay that amount at the average of
only five words a message. AS
the address counts in cablegrams
that average is probably too low.
Suppose the average was ten
words, and allowing a loss of ten
minutes an hour from actual
transmission, the whole sixty
messages would make one hours
work with $50 words to spare.
