THE GROWTH OF THE PREF
SENTATIVE.
We think we can, without vain
boasting, declare that no paper, in
this Northwest. or perhaps in the
Union, has ever grown in circulation
as THE REPRESENTATIVE is now
growing. Jealous friends are at work
everywhere. They begin to see clearly
that the way to convert the people,
and to break the influence Of the
influence Of the money power, is toput
THE REPRESENTATIVE into every
household. Stump-speaking is we'll
enough, but it's effect is evanescent,
and the old parties come in, during
the last months Of the campaign, and
whoop it up with BRASS bands and fire.
works and bristling and omnipresent
lies, and drive the voters back to their
hog wallow; and it takes them month
or two after the election to recover
the balance Of their faculties and real
ize that they have been Swindled
once more But where we base our
work en- the good sense Of intelligent
mon, by appealing during the quiet
winter months. to their own faculty
OF thinking, exercised by their own
tire-side, we lay a foundation which
cannot be destroyed by the legal
jumping-jackS of the cross roads, or
the howls Of the howlsrs of Howler-
Vile.
We desire to make THE REPREsEN-
TATIvE, above all things, fair. reason.
able and truthful, and brin-f full Of facts.
II any Of our readers, especially the
new ones of the old parties, do not see
their way clearly to the conclusions,
we want them to write US, and submit
their points Of difficulty, and we
promise them kindly and candid treat
ment. If we cannot win with the
lamp OF truth to lead US we do not
want to win at all.
Look at the following figures, which
relate only to Clubs of new subscrib-
ers, mostly for three months at ten
cents each. A majority Of these have
been obtained by solicitation of the
men themselves by some active Popu-
list. In some cases contributions are
taken up and the paper given away.
All we want is to spread the light.
We lose something on every subscrip-
tion, but we hope to make it up by
increased advertising. Here are some
of the clubs, received since the issue of
our lGst paper Our new subscribers
for the monG Gh will
