Editor Representative:
Enclosed find check for 81 to keep my
subscription good Your paper must and
shall be upheld. Keep it up, the people
are slowly being educated, not via the
Uranium, but by the astronomical route.
Several old time Republicans up here
have been converted to free silver that
way. An angel from heaven could not
have converted them when their bellies
were we'll filled. AS you say in your issue
of 4th of December, "the present condi-
tons are not only destroying the pros
perity Of the masses. but will eventually
turn the property of the wealthy into
dead leaves and asheS.'
The Southern planter knew better, and
took good care Of his chattels as far as
bodily health was concerned, but the
plutOcrat evidently has forgotten his his
tory, or perhaps the parveun never read
it. howGreece and Rome rotted and went
down. The French Revolution is les
son lost on them, and as for the time
worn nursery story of the famous goose
and the golden egg-it might as well
have remained in oblivion. / sometimes
think that the breed of ghouls who are
waking fat on the hearts blood Of the
community are a breed unto themselves
and have been evolved by some other
process than the people that the Naza-
reen expected to raise to higher plane of
civilization.
Again 1 say, stick to it Brother Don
nelly. Nail your colors to the mast heah.
Right must prevail. Scotland preserved
her independence by refusing to be con-
quered and it was a Scotch king that went
on the throne at the union Of Scotland
and England as Great Britain. Why not
emll1a to the llncOnO1lerel Scotch and over
throw the gold bug plutOcrats and their
hirelings, then place a Populist in the
White House. put honest men in Office or
at least keep out those whose reputation
is bad, and then the time will not be far
distant that the Poet Burns looked for

ON THE WAR PATH.

THE POPULISTS OF THE CITY OF ST.
PAUL ARE PLANNING A WINTER
CAMPAIGN.
A meeting was held last night at
the store Of H. A. Wallraff. 544 Rice
street. 1t was an semblage OF rep
resentative POpulists and labor lead
erS, who filled the store. An organic
alton was effected by the election Of
y. w. BOnham as chairman and II. A
Wallraff secretary, and meeting is to
be held next week in one Of the halls
OF the city to be followed by series
OF meetings during the winter. Igna-
titus Donnelly was present and will
speak at the meetings to be held dur
ing the winter. The purpose of the
movement is to organize the Peoples
Party, and, if possible, carry the city
at the coming spring election" especi-
ally by the distribution weekly of
many thousands of copies of THE
REPRESENTATIVE which is to be pub
lished jointly in both ST. Paul and
Minneapolis and have an office in this
city. The meeting last night was
very enthusiastic.
Arrangements will be made for an
address in January by Mrs. Lease.-St.
Paul Dispatch.
This means business. They were
the most enthusiastic crowd ever
called together. They will circulate
from 5000 to 10000 extra copies of
The REPRESENTATIVE in St. Paul
during the winter, aud the whole city
will be organized for victory in the
spring election. The ST. Paul leaders
feel that if they can carry the city and
elect their Mayor and other officers
the impulse will sweep the state.

IF the good work continues to go
on here in Tacoma. as it has recently,
the G. 0. P. will be bothered to find
candidates for the next election, as
their leading men are already in the
penitentiary or getting there as fast
as the Lord will let them. Our ex-city
treasurer is in Jail, and can find no
bondsmen. Our county treasurer and
city treasurer were both arrested and
are out on $4,000 bail; and so are
three of our busted bank presidents.
All these are good, honest (?) Repub-
licans. They believe in sound money
the kind that makes you Rowland
they are doing some lively bowling
now themselves. They told us that
Populist success would keep money
out of Tacoma; and they are doing all
they can to keep it from going out, by
pocketing it themselves. )"

A VALUABLE LETT Err.

THE EXPERIENCE OF ONE FARMERS
ELEVATOR-THE REMEDY IS IN
THE FARMERS HANDS TO DRIVE
THE THIEVES OUT OF THE STATE.
Editor Representative:
Dear Sir-Inclosed please find 81 which
please place to my subscription. AS there
is great cry this year of farmers being
robbed by elevator companies, especially
along the Great Northern, I will tell your
readers what 1 think is the only remedy
in this matter, and that is for the farmers
to build their own elevators. The farmers
around Fertile formed a stock company in
the summer of 1898; we incorporated under
the state law, put our shares at s. each
and limited the amount of stock to 20
shares or $780, This was done so that the
stock could not be gobbled up by few
men. Well. we sold shares for about ST.
coo; over one hundre farmers being share
holders, and we went ahead and built an

earnings amounted to S2,f40; running ex-
penses, $500.
