DOCTOR AMES.

We have no sympathy with the con.
slant and cruel attacks, made by the
Penny Press on Doctor A. A. Ames, OF
Minneapolis. The Doctor has bee q
one of the most prominent public
men in the state. He was nominated
for governor Of Minnesota, by the
Democrats some years ago, and was
really elected, although counted out
by the Republicans. He made at that
time, one Of the most energetic and
magnificent campaigns ever put forth
in the state:-and he made it on
liberal and reform lines. It was
therefore most natural that he should
throw in his fortunes with the Peo-
ple's Party in this crisis of our coun-
try's history. He should have been
met with open arms, but, instead, a
few men, of the narrow-headed
Ovens stripe, proceeded to smite him
hip and thigh.
takes-who has not? But he is fam
Gus for his charitable deeds. He is
the friend Of every man in distress.
He established, at his own expense, a
hospital for the relief of the unfor-
tunate, in this city, and maintained
it for years. His heart, his hand and
his purse are open as the day to all
who need assistance. The result is he
has an immense following in Mime
apolis, and is beloved OF the common
people, who know that his defamers
would not give five cents to save a
blind beggar from starvation, but
live simply to grab all they can from
the people. 500
Doctor Ames is man! A big
hearted, tender-souled humanitarian;
and THE REPRESENTATIVE protests
against all efforts to humiliate and
degrade him by men who are not tit
to tie his shOe.strfngs.

THANKS.


When, as chairman of the Joint
committee of conference Of Populists
and Free-silver Republicans, we ap-
peared before the Democratic State
convention, on August 4th. to report
the result Of our deliberations, we met
with reception which warmed the
very cookies of our heart. Hon. Lars
NJ. Rand, Of Minneapolis, move
"three cheers for Ignatius Donnelly''
and they were given with a will by the
whole convention: and every sentence
of our speech was punctured with ap-
plause.
This was especially gratifying to US,
coming so soon after the attempt of
some of our own men to humiliate
and disgrace US in the presence of the
whole nation. We had fought for
many years. without reward of any
kind, for the Peoples Party of Mime
sofa, and the majority Of It's represen-
tatives had nothing for US at St. Louis
but insults and infamy. We had
fought the Democrats Of this state
for an equal length of time, and they
met US with open arms and made the
Exposition Building ring with their
cheers.
A thousand thanks to our noble al
lies: and may the wrath of an out
ragged people fall on the heads of the
bitter-hearted, narrow-souled wretches
who could see in the dawning of posi-
BILE victory only an opportunity to
stamp in the dirt the man who had
made more sacrifices of time, labor
and money, for the cause of Reform,
than any other Populist III the North

COOPERATION.

The Democratic party of Minnesota
is firmly and irrevoeably committed to
Free-Silver. 1t has nominated Hon.
John Lind for Governor, and left the
places. of Lieutenant Governor and
Attorney General open for the Peo-
ple's Party to fill, at the convention,
August 26. They have also left four
places on the electoral ticket vacant
to be filed in the same way. There
are nine electors to be elected In Min
nesota this year-four of these will be
Populists, four Democrats and one
will represent the Free-Silver ele-
ment. Hon. John Day Smith, an able
and honorable gentleman, has been
elected for this place by the Free-sil-
verites and has been already nomin-
ated by the Democrats.
!. The Populists who assemb led in
Minneapolis on the 4th inst, upon the
Invitation of Hon. Thos. j. Meighen,
chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, did not feel that they had any
power or right to bind the People,
Party, and were therefore careful not
to appear to fores tall the action OF
the coming convention. They stated
that it was probable the convention
would nominate Mr.. Lind, but it was
possible they might refuse to do so.
They recognized that there were hon.
est differences of opinion on the sub
ject, and they preferred that the party
in convention assemble should settle
them. THE REPRESENTATIVE will
support their action whatever it may
be but it has no desire to dictate to
the party what it should do.

A NEW BOOK.

Bimetallism, or the Evils Of Gold Mo-
nometallism, and the Benefits of Bimet-
allism. BY Wharton Barker. Phi1adel-
phia. Barker Publishing Company.
Cloth 81, paper SOC.
most comprehensive and lucid work
Is that OF Bimetallism, by Wharton Bar
ker. Bearing evidence OF exhaustive re-
seach and careful compilation, the book
is written with a thoroughness and
breadth Of scope that makes it easily the
peer Of all works on bmetllism.
Mr.. Barker makes clear that the ap-
preciating gold standard is the mother
Of poverty, for falling prices destroy the
profits of industry, check enterprise,
lead to industrial stagnation, the throw
ing of wage earners out of work and
lower wages, with resulting impOverish-
ment and distress to the wage-earning
classes. Not until we check the appre-
citation of gold and thereby the fall in
prices, will prosperity return. for in the
face Of falling prices, labor and energy
spent in production entail loss on the
producer. To check the appreciation OF
gold is therefore the first requisite to re-
newed prosperity, and 80 long as we
make use Of the precious metals as
money, this can only be done by restor-
ing bimetallism, by opening our minis
to the free coinage Of silver, and thereby
throwing upon silver, equally with gold,
the burden of money functions. We
must use both gold and silver as money
metal. We must give to both metals
the same privileges Of mintage and legal
tender, and as our 1nints are now open to
the free and unlimited coinage Of gold
into full legal tender money, SO we must
throw them open to silver. Only by SO
doing can we restore bimetallism and
thus check the appreciation of gold and
the benumbing effect of falling prices.
1t is, therefore our first duty to restore
bimetallism and lift from the shoulders
of our producing classes the burden Of
falling prices that is grinding them down
to poverty and building up on their i'm
poverishment an aristocracy of wealth.
Such in outline is the purpose and
scope of Mr. Wharton Bankers work con
bimetallism.
Undertaken in response to the demand
for an authoritative and exhaustive yet
concise and comprehensive work on BIZ
metallism, Mr.. Barker has compiled this
work, and now presents the result of his
labor to the great body of American
voters, who hold the destiny of America
in their hands, in the hope that it may
not fail, during the coming campaign, to
be of some service and assistance to
those struggling to preserve our fnan-
cial and industrial, as well as political in
dependence, and to save our producing
classes from the thraldom of virtual
slavery to the foreign money cliQues and
their allies in America, who are striving
to fasten the appreciatin gold standard
on our country.

NO TIME TO SURRENDER.

The duty Of conscientious reformers il
to hold the ground gained, and push for
ward to further conquests. Instead Of
Reorganization, a more disciplined force
should be called into the field. Instead
of a retreat, a formidable and determined
advance should be made. Instead Of a
combination with party or faction an
tagonistic to reform, the lines should be
more closely drawn, and none but blood
washed reformers placed on guard. y The
time has come for action, and brave men
are needed in the front ranks. Keep the
ranks pure; and your. powder dry!
