You want to see the Populists carry
Minnesota next year. Or course you
do. But you despair some times. Let
us look at it.
How did the vote stand on governor
last year? Here are the figures as they
appear in the Blue Book:
Nelson's vote. e.................. 147. 943
BeckcrS vote. te.................. 53, 3S4
Remember that in four years the
POpulist vote hau r.sen from nothing
to 1880. Suppose each Popuist voter
secures one convert before November,
1896, and that this increase is drawn
in proportion to their numbers equally
from the two old parties; that is, W.
will say, two-thirds from the Republi-
can and one third from the Democrat
ic forces; then the vote would stand
in 1896:
Republican vote. .......... S9,351
democratic vote. Ge............... Z4.ZeS
They told me in Montana that the
cattle raisers at first slaughtered great
numbers Of wolves, by poisoning the
carcasses of dead calves, etc. But ia
little while the wolves ''got on to it,"
and would not touch carcass how
ever cunningly inlaid with strychnine.
Surely the old party men of Minnesota
have as much sense as Montana
wolves! A continuation of 40 cent
wheat is great eye-Opener. 1t is
logician and an orator. Demosthenes
is nothing to it. All the Old-party
promises have been proved to be lies.
Times are as hard as ever in the midst
OF the biggest crop ever grown on the
ground. Knute humbugged them to
the top of their bent last year; but
knute has crawled into his hole, (and
a golden hole it is), and dragged the
hole in after him. 1t is his interest
that the G. 0. p. should realize that
it is powerless without him as can
didate. From every quarter we get
the same repOrt:-that the converts
are fiocking in not singly but in
couples. in squads, in regiments, in
brigades. The Democrats feel like
the famous hard shell preacher. "A
strange woman," said he, "took in
your beloved PASTOR in New Orleans,
to the tune of two dollars and seventy
five cents,-but she can't do it again!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!''
They can't play the Becker game
again.
The Democrats are asking them
selves. all over the prairies and in the
woods:-"We know what Becker got
for reducing the Democratic vote
from 100000 cast for Lawler in 1892 to
1854, cast for himself in 1S94,-but
What did WE gets Where did WE come
IN, IN these money-shin.es3" And echo
answers:-'MOnkey-shinesn
But il each Populist will convert
one old party voter to the faith we
need not care how the Democracy
vote;-we would have nearly 100000
plurality over the highest competitor,
and 81, 141 majority over both united.
Well how are you going to get that
convert? Pick out neighbor and
lend him Populist newspapers and
books until he gets his eyes open.
Work on him quietly all winter.
And to help along the good work, we
will make this offer Send us a dollar
and ace acill send THE REPRESENTATIVE

II you can't spare the dollar then
club with two or three others and make

men, and not unmitigated fools, to

them what you have done, so that

This aUiW make the papers cost less than
II cents each for three months;-ABoUT II
CENTS WEEK!
You can surely afford to invest dol
lar in this way to help save the coun-
try for your posterity. But if you are
too poor to give any financial aid, and
we know how desperate is the condi-

then lend your copy Of THE REPREsEN-
TATIvE around until 1t Is ,uorn o,u.
The PlutOcrats are working, with
the industry Of the imps of Sheol. to
destroy liberty and enslave you. Are
you not willing to put in few days
work to defeat them? You are the
spoil of the mighty game.
For Gods sake, for your children's
sake, for liberty's sake, for the coun-
try's sake, take off your coat and 60 to
work.
The horsefesh trade in London gives
employment to 80 wholesale statesmen
and over 900 retailers. Not single
part Of the carcass Of horse that
ends his days at the knacker's yard is,
it appears, treated as valueless: but,
on the contrary, the flesh, the hide,
