CARE YOU IN IT?"

The constantly increasing circulation Of
The Representative is bringing into line
the wide-awake business men of the Twin
Cities. The question with them is sWhat
is the circulation?' Not who is the owner
editor or makeup of the staff or it's
politics, but simply, How many thou
sand do you print and where do they go
TOP Simply this, and nothing more:
Every mail brings from twenty-five to a
hundred new names to The Representa-
tive. and what is more, to the satisfa ction
of sharp advertisers, the cash accompan n
les the subscriptions. Today it might
be safely said that the circulation of The
Representative is equal to the combined
circulation of all the exclusively weekly
papers of either st. Paul or Minneapolis.
Other weekly papers ARE ordinarily print
ed on slow fiat presses, running at the
rate of about 1000 an hour. The Repre-
sentative is printed on a Scott press, run
ming at the rate of from 25,0 900 to 10000
per hour, an actual necessity with it in
order to catch the earliest express trains
flying to every point Of the compass on
the day of publication.
AS before intimated. the Give" adver-
tisers of both cities are becoming aware
of all this and preparing to avail them
selves of the universal advantages Of
fered them by this paper to bring their
goods and prices to the attention of a, dis

we may mention 1.-THE Plymouth cloth

AN EXPLANATION.

Dun'S Review makes an interesting
exhibit Of what the gold organs call
1.-THE movement Of Nlces," but what
they had much better call "the appre-
citation OF gold" Comparing the
prices Of today with those Of five years
ago, they find an apparent fall of
nearly eighteen per cent It is heav-
lest in the case of food products (23.2
per cent? and of woolens (235 per
cent?. Cotton goods have fallen l2.5
and iron wares ia. while boots and
shoes have risen 4.6 per cent.
A fall of this kind is normal only
when it is due to improved methods
Of production, i. e., to the general adj
vance Of human power in the mastery
Of nature. 1t is, however, quite i'm
possible that an advance Of nearly
twenty per cent should have taken
place in the progress of industrial
power within five years, and these not
marked by a single great striking in
venlion. Judging from the past, it is
safe to say that the advance in these
five years has not amounted to five
Der cent. Values, therefore, which
are the measure of natures resistance
to mans mastery of her resources,
have not fallen five per cent, and the
apparen fall is due simply to the
alteration which is taking place
steadily in the yardstick with which
we are measuring them. The gold
dollars has risen in value to the full
extent of this fall in prices, minus the
small amount of the fall due to i'm
provements He who owns the dollar
is thus enabled to profit at the ex-
pense of every class of producers.
These are generally in debt to him,
and the real rate Of interest on the
debt. steadily rises, as does also the
amount Of the principal. Where he

takes not only from the individuals
who are SO unhappy as to owe any
thing. but from the Nation, the State,
the Municipalities. and the corpora
tions who are carrying any bonds of

It is impossible to deny the truth Of
any part of this statement. Low
prices are simply high gold. Nine

POPULAR LOANS.

Some time ago we alluded to the
fact that the city of Philadelphia,
finding that the bankers and capital
lists wanted to charge the city too
high rate Of interest, concluded to
issue three per cent bond in small
denominations and sell it directly to
the people without the Intervention
Of brokers or agents. The plan was
magnificent success. The bonds we're
quickly taken, many small investors
fetching out money which they had
hid away for years, fearing to trust it
to the banks, and putting it into city
bonds, thus restoring it to circula-
tion.
Welearn from the Philadelphia Press
of the 10Th inst, that >econd pOpu-
lar loan has just been placed on the
market by the municipality, and has
proven as much OF success as the
first one did.
Since the first loan was issued the.
New York bank reserve has been re-
duced, and there has been a rising
rate for money, and 1T was predicted
in some quarters that this would in
terfere with the sale of the second
loan, but it did not. The people are.
still eager for 3 per cent bond which
they consider perfectly safe.
There is a hint to all solvent NUM-
cipalities in Philadelphia's action. 1t
would be better for all cities if they
could place their loans at.home. Such
a policy would bring outsa good deal
OF idle money, and would keep the in
terest paid by the city at home.
This is moving in the direction of
the Populist camp. The small bonds
take the place of the postal savings
banks. 1t is better that the people
should owe themselves than owe for
elgners. France has set an example
for all the world to follow. 1t is
claimed that there are 100000, 900 Of
gold in circulation in this country
If this be true why did Cleveland have
to go to London to get $150,000 900
from the Rothschilds? Is the first
statement a falsehood. or is Cleveland
d fraud?

this story is that the officers of the

BAD FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The following dispatch, November
9Th, comes from Boston:
The new woman" in politics was
by all odds the most interesting factor
of the days contest. All over the
state all legal male voters and all
women vino are entitled by law to
vote for school cand idateS. were today
entitled to vote yes or no on the Ques-
tiOn: us it eXpedient that che
statutes be so amended as to permit
women to vote in all municipal cleo
tions?" The total registration in
Boston of women to vote on this QueS-
tiOn was little more than $4,000, and
in the state about 10000. Before the
campaign closed there was an i'm
mense amount of work done on both
sides OF this question. So earnest be-
came the men opposed to this meas
ure that they even organized what
was called the Mans Suffrage Associa-
ton, and, what was more significant,
was the fact that the ass ociation's ap-
peal to tile voters was signed by 100 of
the most prominent men in MaSSa-
chusetts. The result of to-day's vote
on this question is a disappointment
to the friends Of woman suffrage in
this state. Not only in Boston did the
1900 women who registered fail TO
vote, but all through the state great
part of the 10000 women registered
also failed to go to the polls. In the
times when the school committee
question in Boston was real live is
sue, woman's registration to vote for
candidates was sometimes as high as
"a 900. That was ten years ago. To
day in Boston less than 10000 women,
out of possible total of above 10000,
voted on the much more important
question Of municipal suffrage on all
candidates, and also on the great an
nual local option issues. The women
have given their opponets an almos t
unanswerable argument against
themselves. In Boston, out of total
OF 1900 votes cast ON the question,
there is majority against it Of about
