THEY SPRING PERENNIAL.
We have received the following let
ter:
HON. IGNATIUs DONNELLY:
There was a man here yesterday to
dinner. and during our conversation
on political matters he attacked you,
and claimed that you were no more
trustworthy than the people you were
opposing. He said that the last time
you was in the Senate you made a
great show of breaking up the Coal
Combine, but when it came to court,
wa failed to appeal as prosecuting
witness, and it was dropped. And
right after that you moved from your
farm to the Ryan Hotel, and lived in
style. [ think the man really believes
it true, and while we believe it only
campaign lie, we would like you to
prove to us that it is, so that we may
be able to do the same to the doubt
ing ThOmaSeS' who may have heard
it. A little solid proof with facts we
all know is worth a million asSer-
tions. MRS. 0. NJ. VINsoN.
Princeton, Mimi, May 27.
If our CORES pendent will write to
Pierce Butler, County Attorney of
Ramsey county, St. Paul, MINI, he
will tell her that we were on hand,
and insisted on going before the
Grand Jury in that case, and aoe Uent
before 1t and testified; and did it so earn
estly that we were checked by one of
the iurvmen, Crawford Livingstone,
(the head Of the gas combine,) for be-
ing too Jealous. The jury was picked
against the people, and all the powers
Of earth and the devil were used to
prevent an indictment.
AS to the other matter we do not
think it is anybody's business where
we stop for the winter, so long as we
pay our board bill; and we have al
ways been able to do that; and the
charges Of the Ryan Hotel are but a
trf1e higher than those of other first
class hotels in St. Paul, although the
building is bigger. And we are not
pauper. And we believe a man can
battle for reform without having the
white flag Of poverty displayed at
half-mast through the oritices Of his
dishevelled ne ther garments.
If any body else bothers our good
correspondent with such yarns we
hope she will tell him, candidly, kind
ly and cordially, to go where the price
of fuel will have no farther interest
for him.
Bring on the next liar in chafing
dish. We will get through with the m
after awhile. Id.

TO OUR FRIENDS.

We want you on our subscription
list, but we can't "carry" you. We are
too poor; and the Money-power has its
finger On our financial pulse to note
the first tremor marking the approach
Of death. But there is no tremor yet.
The banks would rather give one
thousand dollars to destroy us than
one dollar to help us. We don't blame
them. We have got to throw ourself
on the broad bosom of the people who
believe in US. Thank God the num-
Der is large and rapidly increasing
every day. We expect to live when all
the knock-kneed. scorbutic banks of
Minneapolis are busted.
AS we stand alone stand by us.
Look at the number on the label on
your paper and if you are in arrears,
or nearly s0s pay up at once; and then
start out and get us up royal big
club Of ten-ceDters. Spread the light
and help the truth. l.. d.

4 VALUED FRIEND.

We gave the other day the names Of
the candidates we had heard spoken
Of for the congressional nomination
in the Seventh District, Mimi, with a
kind word for each. Since then we
have heard that Senator Probstfield,
Of Moorhead has been spoken Of. He
is not himself a candidate but his
friends hope that in a protracted con-
test he might be a compromise candi-
date. We do not want to Interfere in
the battle, but we cannot forbear to
say that senator Probstfieid is an ad-
mirable gentleman; sincere, honest
and reliab BILE under all circumstances.

continued this until near the end Of
the week, when the pr.ce of the white

That means that the silver tidal
wave began to put up the price of sill

would buy-up the Democratic conven-

1t is just as we said week or two
ago. The election of Populist presi-
dent and House will put silver back
to the pre-1S73 mark before any act
can be passed by Congress to open the
minis once more to the white metal.

MRS. LEASE IS DOING A GREAT
WORK.

Mrs. Lease, on June 3, made a grand
speech. of two and half hourse, be-
fore an immense crowd at Dodge Cen

extemporized meeting at Kasson.
She intends to go to st. Louis acith the
Minnesota delegation! Good
Steps should be taken to keep her
in this state until election day, if it is
possible.
She makes hundreds of votes where
ever she speaks. The only danger is
OF breakdown. She is over-ZealouS
and forgets herself in her earnest
ness. Our friends must not let her
work herself to death. See that she

Hon. Marion Butler, United States
Senator from North Carolina, Popu-

to himself. by forcing through the
United States Senate his bill to pre-
vent the sale Of any more government
bonds in time of peace, except by and
with the consent Of Congress. The
Republican House Of course killed the
bill: and the vote given will kill a
good many of them. But Senator But

It was handsome act on the part
of the POpulists of the First Congress
sional District of Minnesota, to place
1t the head of their delegation, as
delegate at large to St. Louis, that
gallant old hero of the late war, Major
w. A. Hotchkiss, of Preston, who won
for himself imperishable laurels on
many bloody battle field.
The Major is constitutional re-
former, and has been fighting for Peo-
pies Party principles long before the
Peoples Iarty was born.
May his days be long in the land to
enjoy the good times which those
principles are soon to produce.

SURPRISING FREE SPEECH

'stool-rigeon correspondent" of that
paper. living in Nashville township:
Some friend (?) put copy of The
REPRESENTATIvE in our box last
week. We read one article under the
caption "a Bowie Knife" and had all
we wanted. Free speech is all right,
but such slanderous sheets as THE
Representative should be sup
pressed.

there be left in the land if such pa

be 'suppressed' at the demand of

A DIAGNOSIS OF THE DISEASE.

The Minneapolis Times has some
strong editorials. Here is one:
The free trade movement in Eng
land took its rise in the agitation of
Richard Golden for the repeal of the
corn laws, and the system is frequent
ly characterized as "Cobdenism." The
fiftieth anniversary of repeal was re-
Gently LIBERATED. with much adula-
tion of the system which enables the
well-to-do classes to purchase cheap
food and cheap goods, but which, as is
alleged on the other hand, reduces the
to poverty. This LIBERATION has
elicted discordant note from a few
responsible organs Of British opinion,
and especially from the provincial
press. A paper known as the Lon
don Christian" for example, declares
that one out Of every two laboring
men over 60 years Of age is a pauper,
receiving public relief. Attention is
called to the fact that the Spitaltield
weavers and the tenant farmers, in a
convention held in November, 1855,
resolved that protection is the only
possible remedy for the disaster and
suffering which free trade has
brought upon them. One OF the pa
pers has also unearthed the following
severe arraignment Of Cobdenism by
the late Cardinal Manning. He said:
cit has created two thlngs-the ir-
responsible wealth, which stagnates,
and the starvation wages OF the labor
market. This cheapest market is the
market OF the lacklandE, penniless
and helpless. In four OF our western
counties wages are so low that men
come to London by the Thousands
every year, and being here, crowd the
dock gates and underbid the perma-
nent workingmen. who have already
reason not to be content with their
hire. We have these two worlds al
ways and openly face to face-the
world Of wealth saying in its heart, |
sit as queen over all toilers and
traders, and the world OF want, not
knowing what may be on the morrow.

ployed. Millions are in poverty.

4 GENERAL RISE OF PRICES

We should not be surprised if there
should come a general rise in the
prices Of all commodities, side by side
with the rise in silver, due to the fact
that the gold-bugs are about to be
overthrow in the United States.
The money dispatches Of June 3, say:
THE pressure to sell incidental to
the passage by the Senate OF the But
Ter bond bill was soon exhausted, and
better tone became apparent, which
was supplemented by almost GENERAL I'M
prOuementS IN values. Under a moder-
ate inquiry for both accounts, Leath-
er preferred was we'll supported, rising

were slight.

sales. The sales to noon were 60, 100

large circulation, was, until quite re-
Gently, a gold-bug paper. But the
dose Of misery is becoming too strong,
and it has come over to the peoples
side, in ringing article which will be
worth thousands of votes to the cause
Of reform:
The Republican and Democratic
parties have become rotten. The ma.
tion has tried them, alternately, for
sixteen years, and what is the result?
Wherever We turn our eyes we see
signs Of their destructive tyranny and
oppression. Factories closed, farms
abandoned, towns and villages going
to decay, large bodies of men thrown
out of employment. The grinding
heel of tyrants laid upon the necks Of
those in their employ: strikes and dis
turbances in every city; thousands
willing to work, unable to support
their families on the wage-pittance
they receive. Bands Of workmen, re-
duced TO tramps, roaming over the
land and living at the expense of the
citizens. The produce of the farms
rotting in the granarieS and no money
to move it to the market, or to pur-
chase it when brought there. Debt
ors unable to meet their obligations
and as consequence driven from
their homes. These, and thousand
other evils, aff1ict the country anG are
all due to the tinkering of our Legis-
latureS.
Congress, whether Democratic or
Republican, meets only to consult
how it may lay more burthens on the
masses, and procure larger appropria-
tions for its friends and pensioners.
For this purpose the people are loaded
down with additional taxes every
year, while wages. farm produce and
land have fallen one-half in the last
decade. The tariff taxed necessaries
Of lie are as high as ever. The en-
ployes of the nation TOO, insist upon
receiving the same salaries. In fact
nobody is distressed but the national
mines, Or work In the factories and
machine shops, and their burthenS be.
come heavier year by year.
Now any party that proposes to al
ter this state of affairs should receive
the support Of the people. Our citi-
zens have too long played into the
hands Of politicians, and injured
themselves by party affiliations. BY
putting the silver party in power mat
tiers cannot be made worse. The free
silver question will quickly ADJUST it.
