grade them, you breed anarchists and you
can breed nothing else. When one class
produces everything, and has not itself the
necessaries of life you may expect trouble.
The only cure for discomfort is content
and content springs from justice and fair
dealing. equal opportunity and full abund-
ance. 1t is the fools remedy to pin down
the wretch with bayonets. To do this you
must have a STRONG government" vast
standing army. nobility and a king; and
America becomes Europe. You cannot es-
tablsh despotism and perpetuate liberty
at the same time.
In the name of God an, our country we
protest against the transformation of our
institutions which are now so rapidly going
on. We protest against making the public
school system an armed police force in the
hands of plutocracy. This excresence of a
State University has gone far enough. The
wen is too big. 1t is time to cut off the
supply of blood; and if we have any money
to spare let us use it to build up the COM
mon schools, which carry learning into ev-
cry nook and corner in the state and give
the plain people a chance to master tho
probabilities of civilization. We want 10
more $1,000 books about bugs in the mud
puddles. and more $4,000 armories with
portcullises, and no more boy soldiers bred
in the gospel of hate and murder. Christ

A KIND LETTER.

In the rush and crush of events we
failed to respond to very kind letter,
written more than a month ago, by
Robert Pyne. editor and proprietor of
the Hartford, Comm Weekly Ex-
aminer, one of the few great Populist
papers Of New England. We are
deeply obliged Mr.. Pyne for his kind
and sympathetic words.
Hon Ignatus Donnelly:
Dear Slr:-I take the first opportun-
lty, away from the incessant grind, al
most killing in this terrible weather,
to say that | read of the conduct OF
with feelings OF deep regret, as we'll
as surprise; and tender1you my SYM
pathy in the humiliation of spirit
caused by such base ingratttude.
1t would indeed be hard to blame
you il you should CARRY out your
threat and desert the shipltO the rats
who are striving to eat holes through
it. But feel that you are Incapable
of anything of the kind.]iEhe true re-
foOrmer, like the poet, 9isi not made
but is born. Time will yet right all
wrongs and the little fellows will be
known Of their stature no matter
what may be the height of their
stills. When such as they are for
gotten in their graves tile name of Ig-
natius Donnelly will be- known and
blessed. Their effort to pull you down
should in no-wise disconcert you-it
only adds to their own ]fttleness of
character.
We would say in reply that many,
perhaps majority of the Minnesota
delegates to the St. Louis conve ntion,
had no sympathy with the action re-
ferred to by Mr.. Pyne. They were
taken by surprise and carried off their
feet by carefully prepared conspir-
acy, instigated by one ambitious man,
and carried through by a coterie OF
his friends. There was no reason or
excuse for tive were not asking any
thing. 1t was a gratuitous insult,
and repetition Of the treatment we
had received from the same source in
1890, 1892 and 1894.

The following amendment is all
right and should be adopted:

pending amendments of any moment

next election.
The voters should study the Ques-
tions involved; make memorandum
OF the section and chapter Of the con.
stitution to be amended and familiar
ize themselves with the whole issues,
so that they may vote intelligently
upon them.
THE REPRESENTATIVE has no de-
sire to instruct or govern the people
in their action, but it deems it it's

ers informed as to what is going on,
leaving it for them to make further
inquiry and decide for themselves.

Il KIND TRIBUTE.

We cannot refrain from reproducing
the following most kind references to
one whose memory is very dear to us.
We copy them from the Fergus Falls
Globe:
In describing his recent visit to Lin
coin, Neb., in the last REPRESENTA-
TIVE. Hon. Isnatius Donnelly pays a
pretty tribute to that grand little
woman who is the wife of that young
brilliant leader, William Jennings
Bryan.
No man knows better the worth to
an ambitious man of a wife, who, be-
sides being true woman sympa thizes
with her husband ia his lauda BILE en-
deavors to rise above his surround
ings, whether it be in the field of poll
tics. science, arts, mechanics, the So
called learned professions, farming or
day labor.
Mr. Donnelly had the good fortune
to have for his companion and help
mate for long years one of natures
noblest, ablest and best women, who
sympathized with him in his life
work, to raise himself and his family
above his surroundings in the fields OF
politics and literature.
Mrs. Donnelly was woman of rare
Intellectual endowments, honest and
brave; and when the world seemed to
be in a natural conspiracy to crush
her husband it was the brave, sympa-
thetic, ambitious, wife that cOmforted
consoled and cheered him to higher
exertions. D g.
A woman can be help or a hinder
ance to her husbands ambition as she
likes.
Many an able, ambitious man has
had his ambition, his PROSPECTS. his
life blighted; and has BEEN forced to
give up in dispair, because he happen
ed to marry woman who, ont of jeal-
ousy, did all in her power to make his
life as bitter. his paths as thorny as
possible. ii5a
How many an Intelligent t, ambitious
woman is held down by a,dummy of u
husband; and how many an, q BILE; pre-
gressive, ambitious man IS dragged
down by foolishly jealous wife.
All honor to the late MrJoDonnelly
for her faithful devotiOnjtO cher able
husbands cause. All honor to Mrs.
Bryan for her perfect understanding
OF her illustrious husbands ambition,
and for her wlfely and womanly sup

AN ADDRESS AND APPEAL.

THE OUTLOOK BRILLIANT But FUNDS
NEEDED.
Peoples Party Headquarters.
st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 49, 1896.
Greeting to the reform forces of the
state: n,, .,.... ISL,
We are glad to say that at the pres
ent time the political situation is very
gratifying.
Our candidates for Governor and
Lieut.. Governor have been met by
large and attentive audiences in many
OF the large cities of the state. and in
most places their reception has been
an ovation.
Our candidate for Attorney General
and our nominees for Congress in the
districts of large territory,ar are making
gallant presentation of the peoples
cause.
Our opponets are challenged to d.
vide time with our speakers and at all
meetings respectful questions are in-
vited.
Our position is founded upon Truth,
and our cause is that of Justice.
Viewing our seventy million of people
as great National family, whose
prosperity and happiness can be as
sured, only by the adoption and main
tenance OF public policy that will in.
sure the greatest good to the great
est number" we appeal to all patriot
ic citizens to make an unbiased study
Of the principles at issue in this cam
paign. Assuming the axioms THE
greatest good to the greatest num-
her," to be true, we maintain that the
Financial Policy advocated by the
union of re form forces. is sustained by
the teachings of every political econi-
mist who has established scholarly
reputation.
sTruth is mighty and shall prevail"
is the Divine intent, but the history
Of the human race shows Man, who
suffers from untruth must set the
time Of his own deliverance.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty therefore do not allow en-
thusiasm and confidence in victory to
relax your efforts. Remember that
the last two weeks OF campaign
are the critical period; when every art
of the trained political juggler and
corruptionist will be employed by
those who have greed, seltishness and
special privileges to protect.
Your committees, County and State,
should be enabled to do effective work
with speakers and literature at this
time, and popular contributions Is the
only resource. We but state the
situation. the cause Is In your hands;
Immediate action Is the duty and ne
cessity Of the hour. Fraternally,
