THE COUNTRY IN BAD sTIAPE1How
1T CAN BE IMPROVED.
Editor Representative:
The crops in this vicinity are very
good; but l think it is overestimated as
to the yield by the acre; and it has to be
understood that there are two kinds of
acres, one of 16O rods, and one other kind
marked by the er-wheel-machine,
$50 rods Some farmers claim that they
have raised this year 33 bushels of wheat
to the acre. Senator G. A. Glader told
me that he has raised that much on 100
acres, or 6270 bushels, but part of this is
raised on the state capitol lands that
Glader has rented for so cents an acre.
Think of this, citizens of the state!
Thirty three bushels of wheat raised on
the state capitol lands; and the same
land Governor Merriam voted to be sold
as other state lands are sold, for $500
per acre.
But it is fact that the crops this year
will average from 20 to, s3OBbushels per
acre. But how much will4tAAs help the
condition of the farmers and the people
in general at these low wheat prices?

KIND WORDS.

The Hartford Conn. Examiner
quotes our appeal to our friends, three
weeks ago, and adds:
I'VE trust the appeal of THE REP
RESENTATIvE will not be in vain. 1t
will be a misfortune to the cause of
the people in Minnesota if otherwise.
The REPRESENTA- is truly a
great paper md it's life is essential to
fight down the rings and corruption
lists of that state, which seems to pro-
fusely abound in one and the other.
The paper has brought the Peoples
Farty in the comm onwealth to second
place and this with the concentrated
power Of the monopOlies and corrup-
tonists pitted against it.
1t seems as il no subscriber worthy
the name Of man could deny his sup
port to such power for good as The
REPRESENTATIVE, if it's subscription
price was the last dollar in his posses
sion. If it be otherwise, then indeed
is there cause for despair. Our belief
is that great many Of the people Of
the West are so poor that they cannot
afford to spare even the paltry sum of
81 year away from the purpose Of
sustaining the mere animal body.
Many of the workingmen Of the East
are badly of enough, but according to
those acquainted with the conditions
of East and West alike, the lot Of the
Western farmer is by far more de-
plorable.
However. THE REPRESENTATIVE
should not die if it can at all live.
And it should make every exertion to
live At present it is unjust to itself
and its stockholders. Its weights and
measures are entirely beyond the
mark. 1t gives too much value for
the price charged. 1t can afford to
cut down several columns and then be
full weight for 81 a year. Let it cut
off of the list those who cannot and
will not pay and live for those who
will It we're better to lose the inf1u-
ence exerted over few or many read
ers than to cease that influence alto
gether A live patriot is Of more ac
count to the world than a dead hero.
And there is more wisdom in one liv
ing for his country than dying for it."

GRAIN PRICES.

YOUR GRAIN YOURSELF.

THE SIZE OF THE ROBBERY-SHIP
YOUR GRAIN YOURSELF.
Editor Representative:
In my travels through the state during
the past month found that on some lines
of railroads within sixty to seventy miles
of Minneapolis the farmers were being
paid for their grain the same number of
cents off Minneapolis price that we are
receiving from here, two hundred miles
from the same market. This allows
about six cents per hundred pounds that
the grain buyers put in their pockets
above a reasonable margin. Now, this
is unnecessary, because the farmer can
ship his own grain with perfect safety.
1t pays to ship your own grain under GER
tain circumstances even if you are a
stakeholder in a farmers elevator, as
both barley and wheat sometimes bring
a premium where it is just alike, all from
the same field, and good quality. l have
made as much as $56 on one car load
II there are any who wish to ship, and do
not understand the business, I will send
YOU all needed information if you enclose
postage for reply.
Three years ago l had an article in
F. S. and H and other papers in relation
to elevators, advocating a system of farm
err elevators all over the state, and a state
elevator at Duluth. Ny plan was en-
dorsed by the most prominent Alliance
men in the state Some weeks ago
had card in The Representative asking
for the address of the officers of all farm
ers' elevators; some ten answered, and
laid my plan before them. A few have
endorsed the move, and some have made
no reply. 1t seems to me we should not
be satisfied With simply local organiza-

MAJOR BOWLER DISCUSSES TIA
GREAT FIGHT AHEAD FOR 1s9s-LET
US ALL GO TO WORK.
Editor Representative:
l notice what Capt. Nelson has to say
in the Progressive Age, and Brother L. G.
Long in the Representative, about the P.
P. State League and it's executive COM
mittee l am delighted with it. 1t shows
that the boys are becoming FESTIVE from
political ennui and are about to wake up
and &C, to work to organize local leagues
and be in readiness for the great con-
and be in readiness for the great conflict
of 1896. Be assured that it is to be con-
flict greater and more momentous than
that of 1860 The forces are stronger and
there is more-vastly more-at stake
than there was in 1860. l am hopeful
enough to believe that the result of the
coming conflict will be such as to dispel
the doubt and encouragement that seems
to darken the soul of Brother Long.
Something inclines me to still believe
that God lives and will temper the winds
to the shorn lamb. Now, boys, let's go
to work and do as we have done in this
little burg if no more. Last winter
few of the faithful got together and or
ganized a small league, Clipped in and
got some of the most effective P. P. books
and sold or gave them away where they
would do the most good. We also chip
ped in again without regard to cent
per capita and sent the amount to Secre-
tary L.. M. Aver to help towards getting
a poll of the state, which we so much
need, and for other purposes of thorough
organization. We met twice month In
this work until the busy summer season
came on, and occasionally we got up
program of speeches by local talent, songs
by our glee club, and readings and recita-
tions by the younger members. all in
line of our work We carried out our
program without single skip and with
most pleasing and encouraging results.
Now let every one of that immortal 35
do as much as that and the example will
prove Infectious, and by the time Of our
annual state meeting we will all feel bet

REPUD1ATES GLOBES STATEMENT

L. c. LONG SPEAKs-NOT READY. TO
ABANDON THE OMAHA PLATFORM
NOBODY BELIEVED HE WOULD BE.
Editor Representative.
The Representative Of Oct. 9 contains
a clipping from the st. Paul Globe which
states that w. R. Hodges, of Sleepy Eye,
says that Southwestern Minnesota is 60
ing into the free silver movement, and
that am strongly in favor of the move.
There is some mistake somewhere in re-
gard to this. Why, if this were true, the
Peoples party of Minnesota could rightly
call me the worst lying hypocritical
knave in the state.
Bah! to think that after all these years
of fighting on the Greenback issue, sacri-
fcing almost everything worth living for;
abused by my enemies, ridiculed by fools,
and then, on the eve Of victory, to for
sake the one cherished idea of my life,
is, to say the least, very ridiculous. The
thousands who have heard me speak,
and have read my letters in the Repre-
sentative, could not be led to believe that

of them Populists.

WHY is THIS THUS?

When wheat is the cheapest then is
the hardest struggle for bread.
When wool and cotton are the
cheapest, then the people wear patch
es and rags.
But when money is the highest
price, then do people most feel the
need of money.
High-priced money means low
priced products.
Low priced products mean low
wages.
And low wages mean hunger and
rags.
But, says some galvanized cuckoo,
this last proposition is not so; because
produce and wages are low at the
same time. and their relative value is
the same as when both are higher
Right you are as far as you go, but
after the rent and the interest and
the taxes are paid-what then? How
much has the iaborer at low wages
left to spend for the cheap neces-
saries?
The mortgage or other debt doesn't
come down with wages and products.
Interest doesn't come down on con-
tracts previously made, nor any other
kind of contracts.
Taxes don't come down with wages
