earth says that 81, PA 900 die annually;
that is an average or SO. $40 q day, 4.02O

number of births on the other hand is
estimated at SO, TO-, 900, an average of
100, 800 day. 1920 an hour and 70 a

Think Of that! Population increas-

over the whole earth! And the gold
bugs say that there shall be no in
crease of circulation to keep pace
with the increase of population! And
every new born baby adds to the mis-
cries of the world by decreasing the
pro-rata. per-capita money supply.
Fancy the landlord who has twenty
FIVE .boarders increasing the mum Der
to fifty, with no corresponding in
crease of the food furnished. The
boarders would crawl on to the table
and knock each other down In their
struggles to get something to eat.
But suppose he increased the boarders
to one hundred with no food increase!
There would be riot, revolution, an.

government for troops to defend his
miserable life and shoot down the
hungry men.
And there you have parallel for

The Peoples Party convention of
the Seventh Congressional District
was held in Fergus Falls, on the 18th
inst, and resulted in the nomination
of ex-senator, Hon. E. E. Lommen, of
Polk county, as the candidate for Con-
gress In that district. The first vote
stood:-Lommen, "a; Boon, 40; DR..
johnson, 20; Lamphere, %; Lewis, q;
r. j. Hall. 81; and Barker, 8. Mr..
Lommen was nominated on the eighth
ballot;-the vote standing 126 for
Lommen to 81 for johnson.
It was q great honor for Senator
Lommen to be nominated oyer such

any one of whom would have filed the

We served in the State Senate for

BOSH.

The Minneapolis Times has been
tearing its shirt and invalidating its
neither garments in an effort to keep
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern from consolidating.
Why, bless your soul, you old fool,
every railroad in the United States is
already consolidated with every 9TH
err! "Where combination is possible
competition is impossible" There
isn't a nickel's difference in the
charges of the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific, and never has
been. You might pass volume Of
laws on the subject. and no human de-
vice can prevent two lines of road
being owned by the same capital;
and working together to plumber the
people.
There is no remedy but government osO,a-
ership Of the road. If the Times is in
earnest let it advocate that, and save
its linen. But it will not.
The railroads of Minnesota draw
ten million dollars year of unjust
earnings to pay interest on "watered
stock" 1t can spend. one million to
buy up a Legislature. and save the
other nine millions. And where is, or
ever has been. a Legislature that
could not be bought for one-tenth of
that sum?
The people must not be turned
aside from the true remedy, for the
diseases of the body polite, by bowling
for quack medicines.
Put the Peoples Party IN possession Of
the national government, and buy or build
roads enough to regulate rates on all the
rest.
That is the remedy. And there is nc
other.
Any man who will tell you to look
to local legislation is either q knave
or fool.
We tried it for twenty-five years,
and we came out Of the same rat-hole
we went in at.
Our efforts simply resulted in fore
ing the road to buy up the scamps. A
great movement should have nobler
ends than that.

SEE HOW THEY LIE.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
June 26.-The local wheat market
opened weak and lower and ruled
weak throughout the morning session.
There was nothing encouraging in
the early morning news. Foreign
cables were slightly lower in SYM
pathy with our decline of yesterday.
Crop news from Northwes tern points
were generally roseate as to the prob
able yield. From the Southwest came
thrashing returns OF rs to 80 bushels
per acre from land that only month
ago had been plo,ced up and soscn to other
grdins-perhaps they refer to the new
crop!! The Northwestern crop reports
were discredited by many on the floor,
who are residents Of many of the Sec
tions reported. 1t is we'll to steer
clear of any opinion whatever and
simply rest on Providence. Specula-
lively. faith Is dead and works are
foreigners have taken large quantities
itself shows from its course to have
taken no cognizance Of 1T.
Other reports are similar in nature
but on the other hand, we have re-
ports Of good yield in parts Of Mis-
souri, just as we have every year, ard
now 4chen ,Che0t is near the bottom zoe act
the bio reports. When it gets toppy we
will have the poor yields. 1t is always
so. Liquidation OF July wheat is still
going on, and nobody cares to buy un-
til it lie over. That is all there is to it.
The movement indicates q good de-
crease In visible supply next Monday.
Outside OF Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago, there Is only ten millions In
sight, and the first movement OF the
winter wheat is apt to be absorbed by
local mills.
Oats and corn have not made any
new record to day, and that is some
thing to be thankful for. A prOmin-
ent Northwestern official in summing
up the situation says: It is doubtful
II it will pay to harvest crops in re-
mote sections. owing to low prices. It
does not occur to him to reduce rates,
and in fact, it would do no good to do
80, for IL would be met by q reduction
| in prices in final markets. We have
an agricultural department to keep
! foreigners posted. SO that our farmers
will not beat Them.
Stocks are shaky, they are rotten to
the core and will sell much lower.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

Campaign Edition-A Great Oppor-
tunity.
We are now almost in the midst of
the campaign. During the present
month, July, will occur the two great
conventions at St. Louis-the Peo-
pies Party and the Free-Silver gath
erings;-the nominations will be made
and the excitement will grow hotter
and hotter until it attains to white
heat in November.
The REPRESENTATIVE will do its
part; and to further induce sub
scribers we make this liberal offer.
We soIl furnish our paper from this
time until January 1st, 1897 for
FORTY CENTS.
This will carry it past the election
and will furnish our readers with the
results-a Free Silver victory. we
hope,-with all that is said and done,
prior to the new year. 1t will prob
ably be the record of very exciting
and important times.
Our offer Of the paper for three months
for ten cents is therefore soithdraspn. Those
who do not want to take the paper for
six months for forty cents, can take it
for three months for twenty-five cents.
We find that we are losing money on
the ten cent subscriptions.
The paper is growing at wonderful
rate. 1t is spreading all over the
United States. In three pages of our
subscription book we find subscribers
from the following states and terri
tories,-all entered June 29th;-Min-

Here our correspondent will pei

Here our correspondent will per-
ceive two things:
l. A steady. continuous and per-
sistent fall in prices of commodities
accompanied by corresponding fall
in the price of silver, since 1873, when
silver was demonetized in the United
States.
2. Fluctuations from year to year
caused by the size of crops or the ma
ture of legislation.
Congress man McCleary notes these
variations and says there has been no
fall! One has only to compare the
top of the table with the bottom of it
to see the worldwide effects conse-
quent on the decentralization of silver,
in all gold-standard countries.
The government Of Mexico was wise
enough to refuse to fall into the Eng
lish trap. It kept its minis open for
the free coinage of silver, and the re-
suit is that it is today the most pros
porous part Of the American contin-
ent. We consented to cut the price
of our productions in half. for the
benefit of the capitalists of the world.
aud the result is our people are bal
ancing today between starvation, po-
litical revolution or civil war.
But says our correspondent IL wheat
is worth dollar q bushel on the
Mexican side of the Rio Grande and
only worth 80 cents on the American
side, why is not all our wheat shipped
to. Mexico?
The answer is plain:-five million
people cannot afford q market for the
productions of seventy millions. And
besides Mexico has high tariff on
wheat and -four. And besides. it Is
twice as far from Chicago. where the
wheat OF the country collects, to
Mexico, as it is from Chicago to New
York.
The Mexican dollar will to-day, in
Mexico, buy as much food, clothes,
iron, copper, ETC., as the American
dollar will buy in the United States;
and moreover it sciH pay tsOice as much
debit
There's the rub! Here the dollar is
twice as hard to get and will only
pay half as much debt; and this the,
gold-bugs tell US is "a debtor nation. I"
Therefore whatever will help the
debtor to get out of debt represents
the greatest good for the greatest
number; and that is the end and aim
Of all good government.
The population Of the United States
is being rapidly reduced to pauperism,

Special to The Minneapolis Journal.
Washington, July 6.-Those who de-
sire to have the United States try the
experiment Of free coinage may be at.
forded an early opportunity of becom-
ing martyrs to the faith they have es-
poused. A movement is on foot which
will probably result in q discrimina.
tion being made by banking institu-
tions against those business men who
openly and avowediy favor legislation
looking to the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver. The plan is to re-
fuse such men all the usual accommo-
dations given by bank to its patrons.
Above all things else, they win not be
permitted to negotiate loans.
II a reason is demanded for this re-
fusal. these business men will be
politely informed that the banks will
take no chances in loaning good
money and run the risk of having 1t
repaid in silver, which may at the
time of repayment not be worth more
than half or twO-thirds of the orig
inal loan. Money will not be advanced
under these circum sta noes, even
where the clause might be inserted
making the amount returnable Ia
gold, as the present business outlook
does not warrant the tying up of
money which may only be recovered
after protracted litigation.
In tine main this is plan devised
7 for the purpose of teaching simple,
plain, unmistakeable object lesson.
The bankers hold that those who per-
sistently, and without sufficient con-
sideration, antagonize their interests
and indirectly seek to ruin their busi-
ness, should not expect any fav0rs, and
no point will be strained in granting
them when asked.
The plan originated in Louisville,
where the banks have reached NUT
ual agreement that all advocates Of
free coinage who do banking busi-
ness shall be refused all pecuniary &C
commOdatiOns. The fact cannot. be
necessarily entail hardship and per-
banks can satisfy their conscience by
saying that the silver men have no
one to blame but themselves, and
they must be prepared to take the
consequences Of their own vagaries.
Simmered down to plain basis, It
amounts to nothing more nor less
than boycott impose by the banks
upon those business men who antag-
onize their methods Of conducting
their own affairs. In q community
whore majority Of the voters are in
favor of free coinage the results Of
such q boycott must be Immediately
evident. Those already indebted in
the banks must pay their obligations
and will find 1T impossible to secure
extensions. Inability to do this will
drive many to the wall, while the 9th

statement in your paper that while
wheat is 50 cents per bushel in this
country it is 81 per bushel in Mexico,
all because of Mexico being free sill

Do you mean this as due to free sill

leading campaign yarn to delude

of our American shippers and farmers
to send wheat to Liverpool for 50

Will the Mexican ''dollar" buy as
much today as the American gold dol

The ready answer to the above
question in the columns OF THE REP
REsENTATIvE will go far to ease the
mind of voter who is in doubt how
to vote, either for gold or silver and
greatly obiige, yours truly,
GEO. A. PRESLEY.
Milaca. MINI.
It is literally true that such diff
ference in price does exist. We
quoted, not long since, from the Chi
cago Times Herald, the leading gold
bug paper Of the West. letter writ
ten by man who had recently come
to Chicago from Mexico, in which he
stated that the price of wheat ranged
from 81 to $l.5o per bushel, in that
country, and everything else In pro.
portion.
The difference is undoubtedly due to
the fact that Mexico is under the BIZ
metallic standard which we possessed
prior to 1873; while we have aban-
doned the system Of our forefathers
for one invented by John Bull and the
money-lenders, under which one dol
lar of gold now has purchasing pow
er of two hundred cents. and that
means half prices for everything that
Is for SALE.
Our correspondent has evidently
not studied the money question or he
would not ask the question he does.
The following table, showing the
fall of prices, was prepared by the
celebrated European statistican, Mr..
Sauerbeck,
