WHAT DOES THIS MEAN3
WILL HOLD TO FUSION

a meeting of the leaders of the
Populist and Democratic parties in
Minnesota has been called to be he Id
in st. Paul, Jan. In this call the
names Of the Populists and Demo
Gratis appear side toy side indicating
the determination to carry fusion in to
the next campaign.-St. Paul Globe.
Who is there that, at this time, pre-.
tends to have any right to pledge the
PopuliSts to "fuse" with the Demo
Gratis four years from now?
Nothing can speak for the People's
Party Of Minnesota but the me m be rs
of the Peoples Party,in state conven-
ton duly assem- bled?
Why this precipitancy? We shall
look with curiosity for the publication
Of this call. The Minneapolis Owen
Lynch gang are PROBABLY at the back
of it.
There seems to be determined
purpose, in some quarters, that the
Peoples Party shall die, whether it
wants to or not. 1t has not fulfilled
the object of its organization because
Lynch has got an office under the
Democratic sheriff Of Hennepin coun.
tY. There is something more in the
universe besides Lynch.

4 TEXAS VIEW.

The above tale is on par with the
usual Democratic yarns. Gibbs said
to the Mercury editor when shown
this slip: II don't remember having
met the gentleman, but if did. 1
never either winked at him or made
any such statement to him. The
Populist party is not dead, but got a
little frost bitten at ST. Louis by
sticking its toes cut from under the
cover. never had any confidence Of
success after the Populist party &C
copied a part of the Democratic
ticket at St. Louis. The Populist
principles will never be honestly es-
poused by any other political party"
Southern Mercury, Dallas, Texas.
We could just as we'll have had our
own candidates for president, and
vice president and beyond doubt
they would have made vigorous can
vass and carried the close states, de-
feated Mckinley, and united their
electoral votes on Bryan or some 9TH
er good man. But then Owen would
not have been end by the Demo-
Gratis and-de feated!

WHAT THE VOTE WAS.

Mr.. Martin Aalberg, of Henning,
MIMI, questions the accuracy of some
Of our statements as to Mr.. S. NJ.
Ovens vote for Congressman. We
have waited for the official canvass.
We find that Loren Fletcher had
24,5O8 votes and Mr.. Owen 81. 521 votes
in the Fifth district; this gave
Fletcher a majority OF 1887 or thirteen
less than three thousand. At the same
time Hon. John Lind had "a ,375 votes
in the Fifth district-So that Lind ran
1854 rotes ahead of Queen. Clough's
vote in the district was 81, ITO; so that
Lind carried the District by 1905 ma
jority, while Owen lost it by 1887
votes: this making a total loss on
Ovens vote, as compared with Lind's.
OF SIX THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND
NINETY-TwO.!! The total vote of the
district was 46,029; so that Owen lost
as compared with Lind nearly ONE
VOTE OUT OF SEVEN.
Mr.. Alberg will find we did not over
state the extent to which Owen ran
behind Lind.

A SENSIBLE BANKER.

We have a broad minded banker, in
Hastings, Minn., who believes that
his own prosperity depends on the
prosperity of the people among whom
he lives; and who cannot see how the
impoverishment Of Minnesota, for the
benefit of Wall street. is going to en-
rich any man who lives in Minnesota.
He stood by the Peoples Party Loyalty
in the recent conflict. His name is
Mr.. George Barbaras. We are pleased
to receive the following letter from
him:
HON. 1GNATIUs DONNELLY:
Dear Sir:-Enclosed you will find
our draft for 81 subscription for The
REPRESENTATIVE, for Clarence Pen
mock, Of this city.
see the hum Of the factories does
not disturb us much and l am afraid
they may not start up until just be-
fore election in 1900. How some of
our farmers wish they coud change
their vote now!
II Bryan had been elected would
they not give it to us now and blame
us for voting for him. Yours truly,
Geo. Barbaras.
P. S.-The last copy of THE REP:
RESENTATIVE was worth years sub
scription. G.. b.
Hastings, Mimi.
If all our bankers were like Mr.,
Barbaras the people would honor and
respect them. But too many Of them
are mere blind tools of our Cypress ors;
and are hard at work turning their
own assets into dead leaves and
stones. They are ruling the country
to ruin it-and hemselres' GOD give
them good sense. before they drive
the United States into another Reign
Of Terror.
The faculty to make money is not
equivalent to craftsmanship. The
two qualities seldom go together. The
Man who drove the money-changers
out OF the temple had no shoes to his
feet;--and his endorsement on a
promissory note would not have been
considered good security for a loan of
one Of the pieces of silver for which
Judas sold him.

smashing the business men. We are
sorry for them; and yet we recognize
the domination of Gods justice. They

tiOn.

SINGLE TAX.

Could a man under the single tax
have title to land, just as at present,
so long as he paid the tax promptly?
Certainly. -EXchange.
But the single tax would include all
the other taxes; and therefore man
could have home as long as he paid
all the taxes of all the rest Of the
community, including bankers, corpo-
rations, usurers, etc. Well he can
have home now il he will do this
but he can't do it. That's where the
trouble is.
Instead of single tax on homes we
want no tax. If there has got to be a
"s!ngle tax" put it an the other fel-
lows. You remember how the country
debating society discussed the ques.
ton: IF you had to have a boil where
would you have it?" And the conclu.
sion they. reached was, ON the other
chap. That's the whole question in a
nutshell.

THE TRUTH OF II.
THE PEOPLES PARTY THE ONLY
REALLY GREAT PARTY IN THE
UNITED STATES

THE PEOPLES PARTY THE ONLY
REALLY GREAT PARTY IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Mr.. VIM. T. Jackson, Of Jeterville.
Ca, writes to Tom Watson's paper:
''Let it hereafter be understood
that the scheming leaders of the Peo-
pies Party may hob-nob and make
| profitable deals with the other par
ties, but they cannot deliver the vote
Of the people which they pledged.
From all | can gather, great many
Populists in Virginia refused to vote
some few voted for the epublicans,
! Notwithstanding the pressure that
was used for Bryan. Against Bryan l
| have nothing to say. He is one Of the
heroes OF the age. But his public ut
terances give entirely too seldom and
scant recognition Of the Peoples Par
| ty, whose labOrs first opened his eyes
on the line Of reform, and educated a
constituency sufficiently strong to
make his nomination possible. lii the
| ultimate analysis or causes Bryan
owes his present prominence to POpu-
list propaganda, and he should with
truthful generosity confess it. Unless
in the future he gives more recogni-
tion Of this potent fact than he has
been disposed to do on the stump, and
unless he resolves to be leader Of the
whole people and not alone of the
Democratic party, 1t takes no prOphe t
to see that he is a greater man today
than he will ever be hereafter"
We feel very kindly to the Demo-
Gratis of Minnesota, and yet we are
constrained to say there is great
deal of truth in this. II we have any
cooperation with the Democracy, four
years from now. it will be necessary
for them to give up their idea that
such cooperation affords them an op-
portunity to swallow the Populists,
and that they should avail the mselves
of it at once. This is not proper,
brotherly feeling. II they accept our
doctrines they must treat us as some
thing that ought to live. II not it
will look as if they were making an
unwilling concession to truth which
they did not intend to carry out il
successful. Mr.. Bryan was excessive
ly tender Of the feelings Of lot of old
hard shells who had been dragged into
the support Of reform by their hind
legs, but he hardly dared to mention
the Populist Party by name. He is a
great man but lie needs to have the
scope OF his views pried open little.
He must not forget that the Demo-
Gratis voted down five different bills
for the reconciliation Of silver; and
only accepted that doctrine when

THE IRREPRESSIBLE CON-
FLICI,

ShylOck demands his pound Of flesh:
the retirement of the greenbacks;
but Mckinley sees the people will not
stand it,-that there has got to be a
limit to the party's subservience to
the Money-power. The St. Paul Globe,
gold bug, voices the discomfort Of
the money-lenders. It says:
In an authorized interview with
Mr.. Hanna. sent out by the press the
other day, he is reported as using this
language:
"The truth is, our currency matters
are in pretty good shape, / think.
There is nothing alarming about the
currency question. There is no ques-
ton about the Republicans of the
West wanting conservative tariff
bill passed by Congress"
This represents quite faithfully, we
believe, the prevailing attitude OF the
Republican party on the issues now
before the country. We want to say
TO them right here and now that it
will not do; that they are taking the
surest course to offend and outrage those
by aChOse UOteS they ,ce,e returned to poacer;
and that if the tariff question is TAX
en- up and the currency question let
cAAOhS UuVy Wall OO OCdUVu dS Oduly do
they deserve. Before the 4th day of
last November we heard Of nothing
but the money question. The most
that the partisan Republican asserted
about election time was that the
tariff Halso ran" We cannot say that
those who insist now that the Repub.
lican majority has right to go over
the tariff schedules are illogical, how
ever ill-advised and outrageous we
may consider their action to be. But
we do say that when they make tariff
revision the sole end and object of
their victory. and prepare to send to
the rear the all-impOrtant question of
currency revision. they are traitors to
their trust"
Give it to the them, bully boy. II
you sell your soul to the devil you
must expect to pay the price. The
Republican party cannot get $16,0OO,-
600 from Plutocracy and refuse to do
what Plutocracy demands, without
having a 'poll-parrot and monkey
time of it.
On with the dance. "Our withers
