THE SILVER MEN.

Senator S-2wal, says the Silver men
in Congress this winter will have a
definite program. He thinks they will
form a national pai,y and nominate
a candidate for President. Their plat
form, he believes, will be simple and
direct and might be summarized in
these points:
The free and unlimited coinage Of
silver: no further issue of interest
bearing bonds that the National Gov
eminent shall issue all the paper cur
rency.
This is a platform upon which the
people Of the country who favor finan-
cial reform can stand. 1t is not loaded
with issues. it deals direct with the fl
nancial question and leaves matters
of minor importance to be determined
when the paramount issue is settled.
Senator Stewart does not believe there
will be any currency Legislation by the
next Congress unless the rights of
silver are fully recognized. Neither
wing Of the gold combination will
have a majority in the Senate and the
friends Of silver can prevent the pas
sage of any currency bill that is not
satisfactOl T..

The truth is that our modern pro-
gress has been largely built upon the
exploitation of the labor of the hum
bier classes; and now we have entered
upon unlimited reservoirs Of human
misery, among the dark and yellow
races; and the whites will either have
to sink to the same levels OF wretch
ness, Or the whole constitution OF So
ciety will have to be recast in new
moulds; and the entire power of civil
ization be directed to lifting up man
kind instead of beating it down. We
are on the eve of great CHANGES; for
the simple reason that we cannot ad-
vance much farther in the direction
we are now travelling, without reach

STAND FIRM.

Stand by the Omaha platform from
top to bottom, but don't club people
out of the idea of joining us in our
struggle for liberty just because they
can't understand it all. A good silver

The Peoples Party is our ship. It

ship than to build one. It has taken
US five years to build the Peoples Par

INCRE ASED Salaries.

We understand that the editors of
the Minneapolis Tribune are going to
demand 81 900 a month for their work,
instead Of the pittance they now re.
ceive. They ought to have it, for
surely nothing less could compensate
them for the wear and tear of con-
science, and the dangers of the next
world which they encounter. Here is
a sample of their workmanship from
the issue of May 10th:
Not all the workingmen have been
carried away by the free silver craze.
In the international convention of
machinists at Cincinnati on Wednes-
day, resolution committing the or
der to the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver was tabloid
Now of course the inference sought
to be conveyed is, that the machinists
were on the side of the Gold-bu and
in favor of reduced currency. And
yet the honest man who wrote that
squib knew very well, for the item
was in all the dailies, that while the
machinists refused to pass the free
silver resolution as convention,
probably because they may have
thought it exceeded their function,
they adjourned as a convention and
adopted the resolution unanimously
as individuals, and then reassembled
at once as a convention!

warded what is this world good for.

PERSECUTION.
A DEvILIsH CONSPIRACY.

K
This paper had connected with it a
very worthy, good-hearted gentleman,
whose only fault was disposition to
alcoholic stimulants. More than a
year ago he took a course at Kelley
Institute and came out cured, as it
was hoped, Of the degrading appetite
for life; and for months afterwards he
conducted himself with great propri-
ETY.. Then certain individuals forced
themselves into intimacy with him
and gradually led him back to his old
habit and to ruin. There is reason to
believe that this work was inspired by
hostility to the principles advocated
by this paper, and by a belief that by
demoralizing the gentleman in ques-
tion the business Of the paper might
be broken up and the paper forced to
suspend. II this was the object it has
failed Of accomplishments: it has SIM
ply ruined, by hellish wiles, the poor
victim of the intrigue.
Our country friends can scarcely
imagine the degree of hostility a
Populist paper is subject to. Our can
vassing agents, soliciting advertising,
have repeatedly been met by the
statement that the merchant who
was called on would not advertise in a
paper, with the opinions of THE REP
REsENTATIvE, il the advertisement
was given to him free of cost! And
yet we were trying to promote the
welfare of these very men.
Do not make any mistake, friends
We are fighting battle to the death
The feeling, forty years ago. against
the Abolitionists was no more bitter
than it is today against the Populist is;
and it is oftentimes most fierce on the
part of those who should be our best
friends. But Boston-even Boston
once led Lloyd Garrison with a rope
around his neck to hang him; it is not
to be wondered at therefore that
Populists should be pesecuted.
Stand together, brethren, for the
whole world is against YOU.

And observe how one end Of the egg is
partitioned off by thin film to con
Tain small quantity Of air, to supply
the youngster, before he can crack the
she'll; aud then see how the great De-
signer puts upon the top of his bill
little projection with which to break
the shell, land which disappears after
that Is accomplished); and remember
that it has been observed that the
chick, after it had broken the shell,
but had not yet crawled out, has,
at the cry OF danger from the hen,
gathered itself into a small compass
and remained perfectly quiet for some

Ii there is anything that should

OF the illimitable and tremendous ma
ture of the Being who made him, and
made all things else in this world, and
without whom there would be Moth
ing-not even Chaos.
And what spiritual bastard is the
poor creature who spends his allotted
span of life in gathering the dust Of
the earth into little heaps and calling
them wealth! The umbilical-chord
which bound him to the womb of the
Infinite has been eaten asunder by
rats; and he floats around through mat
ter the orphan of the universe; the
shallowest and meanest little microbe
that ever disgraced Omnipotence.

THE F1RMER,S' ALLIANCE IN
SURANCE COMPANY,

We regret to say that the Farmers
Alliance Fire Insurance Company has
fallen a victim to the hard times.
The members could not or would not
pay up their assessm ents, and be ing
unable to meet its liabilities, for fire
losses, the Company has passed into
the hands of receiver. It may be
revived hereafter, but we feel that in
the meantime, it is due to those who
have insured in the company that
they should be informed of the real
situation of the association, and not
trust to it for repayment in case their
property is destroyed. They should
insure in some other company at once.
The Farmers Alliance Fire Insur.
ance Company was a private enter
prize, and had no connection with the
Farmers Alliance, except in name. 1t
has had a. hard time from the start.
It was fought by the old-line compan-
ies,and all manner of obstacles thrown
in its way, until the members became
disheartened; then came the panic
and, with a thousand other enter
prises, banks, mills, railroad COM
panies, ETC., it went down before the
terrible conditions that are now on
the country.
We need however scarcely add that
the company had no connection with
The REPRESENTATIVE, of any kind.
except that we advertised for it a
year ago,as we would for any other en-
terprize. We made an effort, recently,
to try to encourage its stockholders to
put it on its feet again. but found the
insured reluctant to pay up, and the
task too big for our powers. We still
hope that, when better times come, it
may be revived.

IF all the temperance people were
filled with the wise and temperate
spirit Of that very able paper, the
New York Voice, there would be no
difficulty in all the reformers in the
United States voting for the same
candidates, in 1896, for president and
vice-president. But we fear there is
q plutocratic element in the Prohibit
tion Party which does not desire real
reform. 1t opposes the liquor habit
not SO much because of the harm it
does the drinkers family, as because of
the temporary qualification the poor

Nothing short Of a clause In the Con.
stitution will prevent the Delaware
Legislature from divorcing people. The
average member has heart that is soft
and sympathetic. The tale of woe
poured into his ear in the room of the
committee on divorces melts him at
once. He votes for favorable report,
and the bill of enforcement runs rapid
course through House and Senate.
The divorce committee meets imme-
diately after the midday dinner. The
members are full of their food and dis
posed accordingly. They long to restore
all mankind to happiness.
At meeting Of the committee, be.
tween the time the members come out
from dinner and the time the Legis.
lature convenes at three in the after
noon, it is nothing unusual for two or
three divorce cases to be decided--evi.
dence, argument and everything else
disposed of in that length of time.
And such evidenced No rules for the
admission Of evidenced Anything the
parties choose to say is heard. When
the members, in their tender. hearted
condition, think the married people are
unhappy and would be better off apart,
they vote for divorce and divorced they
arc.
By this process, divorces are secured
in Delaware more easily, perhaps, than
in any other part of tn civilized world.
A person may get divorced for a smaller
sum of money than it usually costs to
get married. Tie number of divorces
granted by the Legislature during its
sitting is great enough 10 be shameful
to the State.
