tain wonan's mental 2inferiority, would
but spend short space of the time de-
voted to their arguments, 10 follow them
to their finish, they would soon see
where their conclusions can only logi-
cally end. For il the ratio of respective
intelligence of the sexes is to decide
their respective rights then must the
same system hold good in apportioning
the rights between man and man. II
in order to ensure. supremacy OF the
best, liberty Of action be divided be-
tween mankind in the ratio of their re-
spective merits, possessing unquestion-
ably greater abilities than the average
man. should therefore have greater
rights than some men. The knowledge
that her voice will be effective in legis-
lative and industrial fields will soon
give her the stimuli for overcoming all
impediments from lack Of experience,
which may at nrst cucumber her: She
will lose none of her feminine bloom,
but on the contrary will gain in spirit,
and become a more intelligent and after
companion Of men. For no genuine dis
tinction between the sexes can, be OBJ
liberated by a similarity of education
and employment. a..
The feminine form from which the
masculine spirit is excluded, becomes
weak; and the masculine nature which
lacks the feminine attribute of tender
ness becomes gross.
There Is but one more argument which
can be urged against giving women
equal rights, that is: that her interests
are and have always been we'll repre-
sented by men. Men made the law
which fixes and governs all relations of
the marriage contract-a relation Of far
greater Importance to woman than man
and left her but an impracticable veto.
Man made the law which strips woman
of her property and leaves her fortune
at the mercy of her husband; and it was
/ he who made the law which permits
the husband to seize the wife's earn
ings, unless protected by legal separa-
ton.
Why is the law so severe in offenses
against property and comparatively lem
lent In Furnishing the brutal wife
beaten? Because man has made it. The
inference is too plain to require COM
ment. Men have for centuries been in
trusted with the most sacred of woman's
interests, and, as proven by facts, can
stewardship. ... 80 &c.
Let man then descend from his self
exalted position and give back to
woman her birthright of equal freedom;
her Just share of that Divine liberty
which was snatched from her during
the gloom of the barbaric ages!
Since woman is as free-bOrn as man,
let him willingly make a concession
which is unquestiopabfy right and good,
and which, If not voluntarily given, will
in time be wrested from him by the &C
cumulating forces of advancing civili-
cation. M. E. BRICK.

GREATER THAN ROME,

England, as factor in the control Of
money, issruling greater territory than
Rome did in all her glory. Through
the stealthy, secret influnece of gold,

nations of the earth, civilized and semi
civilized. No king can 90 to war with
out the permission of the men who
control the gold of the world and the
gold of the world is controlled by TIE
Rothschilds to such an extent that the
smaller holders must work in harmony
with them. At the dictates Of this pow
er one nation after another, has adopt
ed gold as the money of final payment
and all the commercial transactions Of
nations are so written. The adoption
by Russia of a gold standard a few
weeks ago will greatly enhance the
price of gold which will be noticed in
the falling of prices of other commodi-
ties. Should China and Japan adopt
the gold standard, 1t would reduce the
average days pay to perhaps ten or
twelve cents all over the world. OF
course, all other things would 90 down
with it excepting debts, taxes and stated
incomes, and under such conditions men
in debt could never redeem their obli-
CATION and would necessarily lose title
to all their propertyrwhich wuld 80 In
to the hands of those who held the
debts. We have just seen In this coun-
try a syndicate make eight millions Of
dollars on the issue of bonds simply
because of the idea that nothing but
gold can be used for the final payment
Of a debt. That gold standard offers
opportunities like this all over the
world is an incentive for rich men to
foist such laws upon nations and to
gather in the property Of those nations
just as this syndicate gathered in q
little lump by our recent bond issue.
The gold standard goes upon the theory
that all nations Of the world could not
gold. It will not take many years be-
fore this system must eliminate In an
exceedingly few people owning title to,
or mortgages on, all the property OF
the world, and then we may expect to
see what McCaulay predicted fifty years
ago, that not only the American nation
but all other nations will have their
Huns and Vandals, not from without,
but from within. Already there are be-
ing created in the United States mil
lions of poverty stricken, desperate men
and as certain as wealth concentrates
through monopolies and contracts 50
certain will this vast army increase I'M
til the time will come, not ten years
hence, when either this entire theory Of
government must be changed or its en-
tire fabric will go down In chaos.

TOM LOWRY's NONSENSE.

THE SILVER CRAZE" NOT OVER
- PLAIN SPEAKING.
To the Editor:
In today's issue of the Minneapolis
Tribune appears half column inter-
view with Thomas Lowry, recently re-
turned from Europe. And the Repub-
lican Tribune nearly jumps over itself
to tell what the Democratic Lowry has
to say; to the effect that the hard times
are past" etc. OF course they are
Tom Lowry's hard times have been past
for some time. Mr.. Lowry attributes
the revival Of business" to the last sale
Of bonds. He regards it as master
stroke!" Ye gods! 1t is a master
stroke and it won't take many more
strokes like 1t to do the business for
poor old Uncle Sam. "The London
fnanciers made big pile out of the
transaction, but that was perfectly fair"
he says. We always supposed Mr.. Low
~ had some little share Of American
honor, and patriotism in him, but we
humbly beg his pardon for having mis-
judged him, and we won't do it again.
It is hard to understand how any one
can be SO lost to all sense of right and
decency as to regard the issuing of those
bonds as anything but foul, Internal
crime. Mr.. Lowry goes on to talk about
Increased confidence in Anglican Sc
curities," etc. Bah! Give us rest.
That old confidence game" is getting
rotten-wer'e sick Of it.
He thinks the "silver craze" now ram
pant In the West will have lost its effect
before election time. May be 1t will,
but indications are very much against
1t, up here, let me tell you.
Mr.. Lowry then contradicts himself
by saying that finance seems certain to
be the issue in the next campaign. You
bet 1t will, and the calamity cry" will
not have lost its effect" so much as you
seem to think. Mr.. Lowry. All your
rot about confidence" revival of bust
ness" upward tendency" master
stroke and all, can't make fools of us
any longer, and thanks to "The Repre-
sentative" and others like it, in SO We
are going to win. Yours truly,

ARE THEY DOING THEIR DUTY?
GOD BEING THE ALL-FATHER HIS
MESSENGERS SHOULD DEFEND
GODS CHILDREN.
To the Editor:
Dear Sir: am an infldel and not an
admirer Of Dewitt Talmage and his like,
but if ever there was a sermon Of God
the Skeleton" sermon of Seth Bottom
ley certainly must be one of them. He
gives infallible proofs of the consequent
ces sure to follow the transgression
against the law of nature, and which
must be the law of God, If we have a
God, and who can doubt that? If there
is no other proof of the existence of q
God-the first cause of all organism
we would find it in the fitness Of things
in all creation; and the greatest of all
is the intelligence that we have re-
ceived, which could not have sprung
from dead and unthinking materials.
And natures laws must be the laws of
God, and this God must be our ALL
Father; and yet, despite this strong
proof of an existing God, his pretended
servants-the clergy-fail to chastise
the Mammon-serving humanity for
transgressing against the law, and neg
lecting to educate the slaves of Mammon
how to use the ballot they yet possess,
SO as to free themselves from his tyr
rany. Can such men have faith in what
they preach? Very respectfully yours,
AXEL JORGENSON.

What followed, you have had ample
evidence Of. The combination exists
just as firmly today, as it did in July,
when Chicago and other places were
taken possession Of without authority
under the constitutions; and the effort
was made to produce resistance, as an
excuse for shooting down the rebels;
and bringing to bear all the powers of
a judiciary, which Furnishes construc-

8 or 10 months imprisonment; and
forces juries who are disagreed, to bring

popuL1sr SUCCESS AT CRooKsron

POPULIST SUCCESS AT CROOKSTON.
TO the Editor:
April End we held our city election.
Mr.. John r. McKinnon, the citizens can
didate, was elected. So far he has show
ed himself very friendly to the Peoples
Party. He has appointed Martin O'Brien
city attorney and Aaron Eek as patrol
man. So far. however, the council has
failed to confirm the latter appointment.
In March a proposition for issuing
$1,000 OF bonds was brought up to be
voted on by the citizens and defeated. In
spite Of that the council had everything
ready and were about ready to have the
bonds issued when the new mayor quail
fed and vetoed the issue. McKinnon has
already made a record for himself, and
II he will only continue he will have the
solid support and cooperation Of every
true Populist In the city. Respectfully,
