pointed agent of the people, have form
ulated my book. For 80 years, as
could spare time from the daily duties
to family and society. I have been gath
ering facts, till at last the whole is
framed together as complete view of
the government OF the past, government
OF the present, and what desire as gov
ernment Of the future. The work is as
radical as truth and as answering as
Justice. It is the work OF my life. / cast
1t as bread upon the water to inspire
higher and nobler end. The three ques-
tions discussed, the land question. the
carrying question Transportation is the
modern name) and the money question,
are as old as the race, and are as ,neces-
sary to government as association Is ne
cessary to the life Of man. The corelates
OF these questions have been fully dis
ctlSSed and remedy set before my cOun
trymen that up-rocts every vestige Of
class government and places them on the
divine foundation; sovereignty of the
people. sovereignty by the people and
sovereignty for the people, Gods sover-
eighty supreme over ALL / believe in
my heart. and it inspired me and the
dear companion, my wife, while we
worked on the book. and 1t was finished
while she was with me, both believeing
in the Fatherhood Of God and Brother
hood OF Man. A lifetime struggle for
humanity only makes me more earnest
In helping my brother man to rise, rise,
rise TILL he reaches the image of the
Creator. j. Harper.

Editor Representat;ve-Le there
should be cause for misunderstanding my
position on this platform question, let me
say that l don't want the Peoples Party
to abandon the Omaha platform. / only
wanted to make the steps unto the plat
form as wide and easy of ascent as posi-
BILE. There is mo difference whatever be-
tween myself and Mr.. Donnelly. Mr.
Donnelly's action at national committee
meeting showed that he duly appreciates
the necessity Of combining the reform
forces; and his original suggestion that
all reform bodies meet in convention at
the same date and place and unite on
candidates, which was accepted by the
national committee, is by all odds the
greatest strategic move in the politics of
the day, and strictly in line with what
call practical politics. l am one of those
persons that speak right out in meeting
while it is time to talk. l believe we
should thoroughly understand one an
other before the battle opens, so that
when the time for fighting the common
enemy comes, we may be able to ad-
vance In regular and systematic lines of
battle, shoulder to shoulder, with the
swinging step and measured tread of
trained veterans. We must not attempt
more than we can do. If we do, and we
are defeated, our men lose confidence in
us as political leaders. A victory for the
Peoples Party next fall, be it ever so
small, is of more consequence i'm build
ing up the party than anything else at
this time. This, of course, is my indi-
vidual opinion, and is given for what it
is worth. DIR. Christian Johnson.

GALL AND WORMWOOD.
RED-HOT SARCASM.

Editor Representative-Dow with the
Penny Press" Mr.. Blethen started that
paper and put the daily editions which
gave the latest and most reliable news
down to one cent copy and forced our
dear Tribune" and Times" down to the
same price, and thereupon the journal"
dropped from five to two cents a copy.
This invasion Of legitimate newspaper en-
terprise must be put down. More than
this, Blethen has cut into the public
printing contracts TO the scandal of honest
prices for honest labor.
This ought to be enough to down the
paper and to arouse the indignation of
the public. But, sir, the "Press" advo-
Gates bimetallism-it raves for the coin
age of a base metal on a par with gold!
This is the straw which breaks the back
of that concern. At mere mention of
this crime, the public should jump on the
Press
How true it IS that a concern which
starts in to rob the public robber is sure
to come to grief, and again how true it
is that generous public always rallies
around the public benefactor fin a
horn" The encouragement to protect the
Internal fools against the scoundrels is
gigantic. l have ever had a kind Of ad-
miration for Herod, Pontius Plate and
the Jewish rabble in the chasing down
