The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1895-12-18
BRILLIANT MEDITATIONS.

E. D. Campton, Grove Lake, Mimi
writes:
Enclosed find postoffice order for two
dollars to boost Mr.. A. P Andersons
and my own arrears to the front. I called
upon the subscribers at this place; they
all want the best paper for reform pub
lished in United States; but they are a
little slow in getting the dollars together
but l think the most of them will re-
new. When I stop taking the "old eye
opener l will either be dead or busted
L. w. Henderson, Little Pine Creek, NJ
c., says
AS long as I can raise % cents I want
to read The Representative.
D. O. Westman, of Wheaton, Mimi,
says:
Enclosed please find $500 to pay for one
set of the Chambers Encyclopedia Gn
cloth binding); and the rest to go to pay
upon an extension for the Representa-
tive. I like The Representative very much
and could not do without it. I should
like to do something for it, but the farm
ers are generally hard up, even though
they have obtained a good crop this year.
And my time is too much taken up with
corn huSking now adayS, of which we
also had a good crop; but what is it good
for anyhow? Unless it be to burn in the
stoves as many of the farmers do in this
section.
c. w. Ericsson, Florence, Wis, says:
Please find enclosed $1.OO for new sub
scribers to your paper, The Representa-
tive, for three months. 1t is not very
many but 1 am glad l could get that
much, because the people around here
have been tied up to the hired money
power press SO long; so it is very hard
to get loose from it. But they are in gen
eral, honest sensible people. So if they
once get hold of the light they will not
give it up; so / have good hope for the
future.
The Secretary of the Alta, Iowa, Po-
litical Reading room writes:
Enclosed you find draft for the amount
of $500 two dollars to apply on that won
derful offer of your, 20 copies of The Rep
resentative for $500
1 wish to God that we was strong
enough to flood the country with your
excellent paper. Well, by the way we are
getting stronger if we are poor, and will
try to send another list soon.
e. T. Tucker, Leadville, Col, writes u.s.
In your issue Of the 4th inst. I see a
suggestion that you would like addresses
of those who might be induced to SUBJ
scribe, and I herewith submit list of
leading Populst workers throughout this
state, (Colorado), and 1 believe that if
you will send each of them a copy of this
weeks paper, 4th inst, at least a few of
them will take hold and circulate it in
their own counties. Your great offer is
too low to be regarded by those wishing
to reach the masses through the press.
Your paper is splendid recruiting officer
wherever it circulateS and we can see the
good it has done here in the results Of the
late election, everything in the county
having gone Populist, excepting the
county treasurer and coroner upon whom
a personal fight was made See enclosed
list of 81 names.
w. T. Carver Tracy, Mimi, writes us
Enclosed find one dollar for which
please continue the Representative. 1t is
doing noble work: it will tell in time. The
good work moves briskly on but not as
fast as many of us would like yet
think we are making as much Roadway
now in one year as we did from 1876 to
1893 all put together. We have got the
opposition on the hip; lets keep it going
Twenty years in the life of a nation is
nothing 1t took thirty years, or more
for the abolition principal to stir up the
people.
The platform adopted at Omaha suits
me and until something better is pre-
sented shall stand by it.
Do YOU send out letter heads with our
platform on the back; if so I can use 500
or 1000; what are the prices; there are
those who have never yet read it. 1t is
good idea to get it around as much rs
possible. If the people will only read
and think it over 1 will risk the result
Those who denounce it most never saw it
to read it carefully, they get their opin-
ion of it from its enemies.
(This is a good suggestion We could
furnish such letter heads with the plat
form of the Peoples Party, and, if de-
sired few lines about The Represent
ative, with the name and address of the
person ordering, on letter heads and en-
yelopeS at very reasonable rates and in
good styles if enough were used to make
it an object. How. many would want
such? The more that are added the
cheaper we could furnish them. Ed. Rep
