Large Business With Him in Missouri
| and Found Him Honest--Gray's Friends
in Missouri Believe Him Innocent.
James Norris, president of the Milan
/ Sullivan county Mo, came all the way
! to Wichita TO see his friend Anderson
| Gray.
Anderson Gray is now confined in the
! Sedgwick county Jail under the convic-
! ton for murder in the famous hypnotic
case in Sumner county. Mr.. Norris
says all his life except when crossing
the plains TO Colorado and California
and few years residence in Iowa he
has lived nj Sullivan county, where he
now lives and was county clerk of his
county eight years.
II came long way to visit an old
friend when l found he was in trouble"
said Mr.. Norris.
II have known Anderson Gray ever
since 1863 At that time he lived in
Jefferson county, Ia, where his old faith
er and mother still reside. They are
good people and now very old and have
lived there ever since 1856.
Il crossed the plains with Anderson
Gray in 1860. during the gold excitement
near finding out what a man was made
of in an expedition like that.
''At that time all the country from
Omaha was inhabited by Indians, buff
falo and wolves and white man took
chances when he invaded that country.
'"The Indians were a little trouble
some those times as they thought white
men had no business to be out there
and small parties of white men were in
great danger of being scalped.
Il found out on that trip that An
derson Gray was a man of courage
and true to his friends. Our party had
fifty-two head of work cattle and one
right the Indians stole every OK we
had in the outfit. We were left on the
prairie unable TO move an inch with
our train.
1--WE sent out scouting parties but
they were unable to find anything of
our cattle. Anderson Gray struck a
trail all alone and found the Indians in
camp with our cattle twenty-five miles
away.
He kept secreted from the Indians
until night when the camp became quiet
he slipped in and rounded up the cat
tie and got away with them without
alarming the Indian camp and when
at a safe distance from the Indians

WHAT BROKE DOWN WHEAT.

COME LET Us REASON TOGETHER"
FELLOW CITIZENS AND VOTERS.
Fellow Citizens and Voters:
Come, let us reason together.
God gave us the reasoning power to
be used to the best advantage. You read
in Matthew, twenty fifth chapter, verses
Is to 80, about how one servant got five
talents, and one got two talents, and one
got one talent Now if I gave you, or I
have been so unfortunate as to have got
only one talent, let us try and use it; let
us not go and bury it as the lazy servant
did. No, let us get up and dust, as the
old saying is. How can we expect others
TO work for us? No; the same word will
be said to us as to the lazy servant of old
You are lazy and bad servant. Did you
not know that you cannot reap where you
did not SOW? That is why God gave us
reason to serve us in all things as we'll
in religion and politics as in our daily
work Therefore, brethren, Come, let
us reason together and find out what is
best to do to better our condition. Throw
aside superstition and prejudice. Call
bad thing a bad thing wherever it
comes from, and whOsoever has perpe-
trated it whether it was men who have
belonged to the Republican party or to
the Democratic party. You all know that
in 1865 the Republican party had all the
power and consequently they are to
blame for the contraction of our cur
rency before 873,when the Rotschild and
his gang got in his hellish work by de-
monetizing silver. Let us examine the
prices on the four leading products of
the country from 1865 to 1876.

i'll deeds to be done. The means to con-
tract or expand the currency to fitch the
products of Industry is what is hurting
the American people today, and not over
production, and the town banking system
will forever crush this power more eff
fectually than all the courts in Christen>
dom.
If it is necessary to absorb the green.
backs, ETC.. let the comptroller of the
currency hold back 40 per cent of the cur
rency to which a town is entieled until
it returns that amount into the treas
ury but l doubt the wisdom Of this. The
interest paid to the government would
be $67 ,OCO. 900 a year and with the natural
increase of currency as population in
creases it would absorb the whole in 10
years. The increased facilities of ex-
change between the government and
each town would more than save the
$67, 100000 The entire pension agency
system, customs house, ETC., might be dis
pensed with and done strictly through
the town. All deposits would be under
public scrutiny. and if a man is bribed
ito vote against the public interests we
should know it quickly.
Now, on a Monday morning the arch
bishop of ST. Paul makes a deposit, fol-
lowed by Madame Bond, with wages of
unrighteousness and both receive the
same urbane civilities from the bank Of
flcials. God AMI the devil are on the
same terms in any bank.
The town bank also has a large adj
vantage as trust breaker. With it you
assess railroad and banks and bank off
of them. BY applying this principle we
would soon squeeze water enough out
of watered stock to refill the dried up
lakes the Pioneer Press is bowling about
while industry would exert herself with
renewed energy. A. E. BALL.

To show just little how the sentiment
is in this county against an organized
gang of scoundrels in this city and Dun

throughout this union who have been
plundering us these 80 years, vote was
taken last Wednesday from a threshing
crew, on the farm of Ben Stanford, five
miles south, by your reporter which re-
suited as follows

the exception of four men (all four Re-

Populists
l would like to say to the old ossified
editors of the PIP Press, Globe and Min
neapolis Trib. that twelve of this crew are
readers of those old rotten Sheets and are
stuffed full of goldbugism, supporters of

to aid in the next campaign. 1t looks
dark and discouraging, perhaps, to you

glimmering light around the horizon.

you will have $3.50 for your wheat
What do you get now if you take your
wheat there? Yes, you get your 1000
ounces of silver and bring it home, but
you can't get it minted So you have to
sell it and it will bring you about sc
cents an ounce, and your wheat will
bring you So, 440, instead of IS, 100, diff
ference of 81, 720.
Now let reason talk to you and listen
very attentatively to what it will tell
you. 1t will tell you just this-that the
politicians and quacks who assure you
that it would only be the silver king that
would be the gamer if we had free COIN
age of silver, that he simply talks
through his hat; and is trying to deceive
you by working your prejudices as Abra-
ham Lincoln said, to prolong their power
to rob you. Now my friends, use your
reason You have it in your power to
throw off this yoke. Be man instead OF
beast of burden, to carry wealth to
other mems doors for them to live on in
luxury; and be dressed in the very finest
clothes while you starve and go ragged.
When God created this world for us
to have and to hold He intended that all
His children should have what they
needed and nobody any more What say
you, my brethren; will you make your
self free by jumping on the Omaha plat
form or Will you stay where you are and
be a slave? Let your reason tell you
which would be the better for you.
Think hard and act wisely.

A STRONG LETTER.
GO THOU AND DO LIKEWISE

Editor Representative:
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find SO to
apply on my subscription and two years
in advance
Strange to say that the above is the
value of 81 bushels of Stickney's potatoes,
or bushels of wheat, or "a bushels of
oats. Nevertheless if we want to ad
vance and protect our interests we must
labor for them; and we can do it, if we
&c at it with determination in spite of
Plutocracy. Hence let others do their
duty and furnish their mite to The Rep
resentative, one of the mightiest papers
published in the interest of the OPP
pressed. But fail not also to support your
local papers that are also published in
your interest. Hoping the Representa-
tive will never have to suspend single
issue. | am a populist. Respectfully,
A. S. STEPHENS.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1895-11-06

By the above table of prices it will be
seen that from 1865 to 1872 (the year be-
fore the denomination of silver. wheat
declined from $2.55 to $1.68, that corn
declined from $186 to 76 cents, cotton
from S1.2O to 81 cents, and pork from
$36 to $14.75.
Now put on your reasoning caps and
YOU will find that it is the contraction of
the currency that has made the decline
of the prices of all products and property
and ruin on all sides; and not the quail
ity of the material the money is made
from, as we all know. There was a per-
iod of 10 or Is years when there was not
a gold or silver dollar in circulation and
our country never was as prosperous as
during those years; but you see they
contracted the currency from $72 per cap
tia in 1866 to SIS per capita in 1872.
Then in 1873 the robbers capped their
abomidable work by the decentralization
of silver, thereby curtailing our currency
again. Now many of you farmers think
that silver has nothing to do with the
price of your wheat, and you have heard
the smart stump speakers tell you so.
Let us see if they told you the truth
There has been an established rule in
England for many years to pay an ounce
OF silver tor one bushel of wheat. Now
you all know that most of your wheat
goes to England Suppose we now had
free coinage of silver. You took your
wheat to England and sold it; say you
had 1000 bushels, you would then get
1000 ounces of silver. You take it home
and have it minted into silver dollars,
