4 RACE OF DWARFS.

An extraordinary large number Of
dwarfs live in the District of Riwas,
in the Easte Pyrenees. Tradition
has 1t that they are the descendants
of a race which inhabited those noun
tain regions in prehistoric times.
A French savant has written a
learned work called 'The Pygmies,"
in which he shows that the present
large races of men were preceded, all
over the world, by dwarf races. brown,
black, yellow or white. 1t is from
these legends of fairies, kobolds, etc.,
are derived. The varities of stature,
found in all European races, are rem
iniscenses of this mixture of tall and
short people; and dwarfs like Genl.
Tom Thumb, are an outcrop of "the
pygmies;" while the giants of our
museums are, in like manner, rever-
sions to ''the ice giants" of the Scan
dinavian legends. There was also a
Monaghan stock which followed the
Dwarfs, and it's peculiar cast Of fea-
lures reappers, through the Aryan
stock, and helps to give us that in
finite variety of facial expression
which separates man from man and
family from family. Europe and the
United States are "palimpsists,"
where race overlays race: just as diff
ferent writings were imposed on the
ancient parchments, the older record
family appearing through the later.

Il SUGGESTION.

Think of this:-would it be wise to
have Mrs. Leases lectures in the
afternoon, and then get the mer-
chants Of the town to interest them
selves in making it a gala-day, and
getting in the whole country around?
1t would help trade. At the same
time hold Peoples Party meeting
and organize a club or league;-also
an Alliance meeting. Let the folks
bring their baskets and have picnic
dinner in the hall. Make day Of it.
Be alive! 1t is the lire people who are
not cnSlaved.
Many applications are coming in
for Mrs, Lease. We should keep her
here for month. A ten cent admis-
sion fee would cover expenses of her
lectures and leave surplus fund to
purchase copies of The REPRESENTA-
TIVE, to give away to the fossilized
hard-heads, who would not subscribe
for it, but will read it if sent to them.
Let us take the frost out of the long
winter by some wholesome energy.
Boys-watch the chaps who are the
most earnest in the work. These are
the ones to give the offices to next
year. The man who will not do any
thing to help the cause in 1856 will
not do anything to help it in 1897, in
the Legislature or anywhere else.

4 PITIFUL STORY.

We have received from Mrs. Marion
Todd, copy of her little book.-''Ra-
chefs Pitiful story" 1t is indeed a
pitiful History,-a story of good
woman, crushed by cruel crcum-
stances and driven to the dark and
desperate side of life, and finally to a
mad house. 1t is sad commentary
upon the existing conditions of socie-
ty and the misjudgments OF men.
Many of our readers have heard Mrs.
Todd lecture at our Alliance meetings;
she is sincere philanthrophist, a
great orator and good woman. We
surmise she has been caught in the
stress Of the present financial panic,
and has put forth this little book to
help keep the wolf from the door. She
publishes it herself. The price of the
book is 10 cents. We want every one
of our readers to send that sum, in
silver, to Mrs. Marion Todd, Spring.

NOTICE..

Our old friend, Mr.. A. Kruger, of
Lake City, who has done great deal
to help THE REPRESENTATIVE in the
past, has kindly consented to act as
our agent at that place, to receive
subscriptions for this paper and re-
ceipt for the same. Many thanks.
We ought to have a thousand sub
scribers in Wabasha county alone, and
can get them if Mr.. Kruger will put
his shoulder to the wheel. Give us
500 subscribers in old Wabasha and
the Populists will carry the next
county election. Let the men who
are ambitious to fill the fat county Of
fees, and go to the Legislature, thaw
out. and battle their heads, and put on
their boots, land go to work. The poet
says:
"Who would be free
Themselves must strike the blow"
and the man who wants the honOrs
aud emoluments Of life has got to
hustle for them; and they belong to
Gods people, the Populists, by divine
right, and are only kept from them by
the devil-otherwise Plutocracy.

A YEAR OF PLENTY,

Fruits and vegetables of all kinds
are unusually abundant in most parts
of Virginia this year. Apples have
brought only five cents bushel in
market towns, and tomatoes are so
plentiful that often the farmers are
unable to sell the loads they bring to
market and have either to give them
away or throw them away.-Philadel-
phia American.
The same thing took place here in
Minnesota. We heard Of wagon loads
of tomatoes, when the price got down
to five cents bushel in the St. Paul
market, being dumped over bridges
and into streets or rivers. If any one
we're superstitious he would be re-
minded of Egypt's seven years Of plen-
ty and seven years Of famine-the
clean kline" and the "fat kine,"-
Like widowed ear
Blasting it's healthy brother"
and he would anticipate year or
years Of short crops. Certainly it is
most extraordinary that, on the At
lantic coast, as we'll as in the Mississip-
pi valley, such a vast and extraordi-
nary production Of food should occur
in the same season. Moral:-Don' t
throw away your crop.

OF children hopeless childhood. initi-
atlng them into still more hopeless
adult existence. report Of special
committee of the New York Legisla-
ture. submitted May l, 1852
When the money of a country is
contracted the prices Of commodities
fall; less goods are made; labor is idle
or poorly paid; women as we'll as men
go hungry; and then the step from
starvation to vice is one easily made
by either sex. The 10000 abandoned
women of New York City are largely
the result of the characterization of
silver and the contraction of the cur
rency, (both Republican measures);
and the men who are supporting these
cruel policies are greatly shocked to
think that the statue of a mermaid,
"a creature that never existed), should
appear without pants and overcoat.
That is New York virtue:-to clothe
the statues and put the women and
children into sweat-shops and dens of
infaIny.

HOW TO COOPERATE.

Commenting on Ignatius Donnelly's
plan for union of reform forces in
1896, Senator Stewart says:~'Mr. Don
nelly's idea is, as we understand him,
to all join hands on the main Ques-
ton, the money issue, as we all agree;
then on these other questions have
them submitted to the people if all
cannot agree. 1t would seem that no
honest person could object to such a
procedure. If this combine can be
effected, we can elect the next Presi-
dent, the next Congress, and the most
Of the Governors Of the states, West
and South. His suggestions are able,
and coming from one Of his known
great ability, are worthy Of honest
thought and consideration.-Ex.
Our suggestion was for each party,
Populists, Free Silverites, Woman
Suffragists, Single Takers, Socialists
and all to held separate national con-
ventions, and adopt their own plat
forms, and remain distinct move
ments, but all cast their votes for the
same men for president and vice-presi-
dent. This would unite the entire OBJ
position to the Demo Republican par
ty, not on the same platform but in
behalf of the same candidates; and it
would make square issue between
Plutucracy and the People, and the
People would win. It will be pitiful
state of things If those who think
alike on the main issues can not vote
together, while the enemy is arrayed
in solid phalanx.
We would not want to see the Peo-
pies Party abate single plank Of the
Omaha platform, or get into bed with
any element hostile to the spirit and
principles of the party; but f we can
not win alone, and can win by voting,
at the polls, with those who think just
as we do, but are kept from us by pre-
JUDGES, then in Gods name let us all
vote together and redeem the nation.
and save the people from universal
bankruptcy. We would be towards
and fools if we adopted any other
course.

Il CHANGE OF BASE.

When the stress of hard times fell
upon us last August and September,
and the farmers were too busy
harvest ting to pay up their subscrip-
tion, we gave up our handsome office
in the Boston Block, and retreated
into our printing office, among type
and presses, and so weathered the
hurricane. Now our condition has
improved so much, and the money is
coming in al such lively rate, that
we feel justified in expanding again.
and we have just rented three hand
some communicating rooms, in the
same Boston Block, corner Sd and
Hennepin Ave-, No. GAP. while Mr.. E.
G. Devine, the head of the western
Advertising Company" and who is
working vigorously to extend the ad-
vertising business of THE REPREsEN-
TATIvE all over the nation, has taken
an adjoining communicating room for
his business. We will be glad to well
come any Populists, Tor indeed any
men or women of any party,) who may
do us the honor to visit us. We will
not move until next week. We hope
to make our rooms a kind of Peoples
Party headquarters, for the city and
the state.

EXEMPT FROM TAXATION.

TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS OF PERSON
AL PROPERTY FOR EACH 1ND1v1D-
UAL.
We received the following note long
ago, but it was mislaid and covered
up under mass of papers, where We
have just found it:
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly:
Dear SRI have seen an article In
THE REPRESENTATIVE stating that
each individual is exempt from taxa
ton on 5000 worth of personal proper
ty. This is news to us here and
I would feel much obliged If you would
let US know when this became law,
what year, etc. | remain yours very
truly. M. G. MAHoNY.
Woods took, MINI.
The provision will be found in the
Constitution Of MINES ota, Article
TX, Sec. 8. 1t says:
Laws shall be passed taxing all
moneys, credits, (etc., etc.
but public burying grounds, public
school houses, (etc., etc., and personal
property to an amount not exceeding IN
val,te taco hundred doll1rs for each indi-
riduol, shall, by general lars, be exempt
from tdTdtiOn."
The very liberal Legislature of 1873
made this exemption 500 instead Of
$3.50, while Harding all the fat sows Of
Plutocracy. When the Populsts car
ry the state it will be proper to in
quire whether this 800 law should not
be wiped out, and the constitution
amended to make an exemption Of
$500 on real and personal estate. This
will be an approach to the New Zoa-
land system. There the man who has
little pays nothing; and the burden Of
government is put on the shoulders
best able to bear it.
In the meantime see that your as
SCISSOR reduces your taxation by omit
ting 500 of personal property from
taxation. That has been the law in
this state since Oct. 13, 1851, as amend
ed in 1878.

by command of the people a Gus

while encouraging our intercourse and
trade with other nations, reorganizes
the fact that American self-reliance,
thrift and ingenuity can build up our

Think Of that! He runs a sentence
through three blocks, around the cor
ner, across the street, back again, up
a flight of stairs and terminates on
top OF chimney; and from that
elevated position he concludes his
period with blast against "enervat-

pose to abolish the public schools, and
turn over the education Of the people
to Rockefeller? Surely nothing could
be more "paternaP' than to tax the

mans children.
No man needs "paternalism," to
protect him from himself, more than

To our FRIENDS.

We believe it is the game Of Plutoc.
racy to send men travelling through
the country. spreading whispered lies
about our humble self. The int ntion
is to poison the minds Of the voters
with falsehoods which they do not
dare to publish in the newspapers;
but which will help, passed from one
to another, to turn men away from
the Peoples Party by inoculating
them with suspicion against one of its
leaders. We want our friends, where
ever they hear Of anything of the
kind, to write US at once, and give US
the name of the slanderer, land the tale
he tells, and the names Of the wit
nesses; and we will see if we can not
convey the scoundrel to the peniten-
tiary.
Our life is open as the day to the

cation of it's minutest particulars.

BE REASONABLE, FRANK.

Fairmont Sentinel: The greatest
crop ever produced in this state! The
lowest prices for grain ever known in
the history Of the country! And the
rates of transportation increased up
on nearly every railroad line in the
state! Have we Board of Railroad
and Warehou Commissioners? If so,
why in the name of justice don't they
do something or resign?
My dear Frank, you don't seem to
understand that they could not resign
without being unable, thereafter, to
continue to draw their salaries; and
that is what they are there for. Be
reasonable. You know very we'll that
General Becker ran for governor last
year, and kept the Democrats from
stampeding into the Populist camp,
under the promise that he should
hold the Office of Railroad Commits
sioner for three years more, at $4,000 a
year, $4,000 in alD; and it would be a
great hardsh hip and injustice to make
him resign before year had expired.
Think how difficult it would be to
make another such deal hereafter, If
you Republicans broke your promises
that way. And it was the Railroad
companies that engineered the trade,
and it would be horrible piece Of in
gratitude. after they had given Mr..
Nelson a governorship and senator
ship, and Mr.. Clough governorship,
and Mr.. Becker $4,000, to go in and cut
their Threats by reducing rates.
Don't think of it.
But the people''-Ah yes, we for
got. But then the people are happy;
they ratified the deal by $4,000 plural
ity, and they crowed over the defeat
Of the Populists until feathers
sprouted down their backs They
can't have the penny and the cake
both. They can't have Republican
victories and reduced railroad rates:
those things never went together,
and never will.
Be reasonable, brother Frank; you
have "made your bed and must lie in
it," We knowyou would not lie out
side of il.
