er. Set the printing presses running, and

erybody peck to make them wealthy"
Government does not give money" an
swered the editor, even though it prints
basketfuls. 1t parts with the peoples
money, which it creates, only when it
receives in return value for the people.
The man who renders service to all the
people, in their collective capacity as
government, is paid, we will say, in paper
which bears the money stamp for five dol
lars. His labor has created that value
He has exchanged the value he created
for the money of the people. The paper
thus becomes energized by his labor-the
value which his labor created. That in
vests the paper with an honest title to the
wealth created by the labor of others to
the extent Of five dollars. Government
did not create the value by printing the
stamp on the paper; it became money
when it commenced to do the work Of
money by paying for the labor of the man
and thus entering into the volume Of
money which influences prices. Without
labor, no wealth can be created. For
wealth created for the people, and re-
ceived by the people, the man who created
the wealth holds a certificate to that eff
feet, and the certificate is a claim for an
equivalent to he rendered either by the
people collectively, or any one of them as
an individual. The individual who accepts
it has the same rights against others Sc
cured to him by law The certificate or
money thus passes from hand to hand,
and is redeemed with every exchange
which it effects; and finally government
itself accepts it in payment of taxes owed
by the individual who represents it to
government for that purpose. 1t has COM
pleted its round Of redemption and is
finally redeemed by the government-the
people--by whom it was issued"

1t is sure thing when money is spent for

JUDGE TAULBEE JOINS US.

Georgetown, Tex, Jan. 81, 1861 have
been asked by my friends who are still
holding on to the forlorn hope of getting
any reform in the Democratic party, If it
was a fact that had joined the Peoples
party.
To those who are thus interested, l de-
sire to say that it is fact; and further
more I have burned the bridges behind
me.
I have many reasons for taking this
step, but will mention only few.
First, / began to study these questions
for myself.
Second, after studying the questions
and taking up the record of the Demo-
cratic party, found that it was party
of promises unfulfilled and pledges brok-
en-. In fact found by investigation that
the present party, now calling itself Dem
ocratic is not the party as originally or
ganized and does not respond to the true
principles of Democracy. I am also in
favor of change in our financial system,
which do not think can ever be accom-
plished in either of the old parties.
I could mention many more sins of
omission and commission by the Dem
ocratic party, but as this communication
is only intended to place myself on rec
ord and leave no doubt in the minds of my
friends about where / stand politically, l
remain for the present. Yours in the
fight to win. -Jno. r. Taulbee.

FRIEND OF CRONKHITE,

Editor Representative.
beg leave for space in your valuable pa
per for few-I would not say-all original
thoughts in your paper. The day will come
when men will be ashamed to own and pos
sess more riches than their own work has
produced. The right of ownership will be
built on the foundation of labor and produce
ton, and such words as compensation,
wages, ETC., will mean exactly what they
not be a blessing to those that possess them,
because mankind will come to value equal
ity, unity and brotherhood above honorary
titles, riches and distinction. Selfishness
and greed, properly termed hoggishness, will
eventually have to yield to influences of be-
a bounden duty of those of us whom birth
and circumstances has favored to be help
to those of us who has not thus been fav-
ored. Monopolies, corporations and million
aires are throwing obstacles in the road of
their fellow men to their just right to pos

so-called Favored classes" and, instead,
turn helping hand to the so-called "lower
classes" when, instead Of quoting and re-

years ago. they, spontaneously, will sound
the bugle cry, how much evil, calamity and
wickedness has been for the last decades,
brought about by said party; when local ed

you from Mrs o. NJ. Vinton, of Winston

In the first place am glad that in far off

Doth the blue and the gray, as our standard

My ticket is Donnelly and Watson, the
brave Tom Watson of Georgia l have writ

past, and believe it stronger in this part of
the South than any other with the Populists
and independents generally.
But the brilliant memories brought back
by the Thomas Walker letter, the sen of my
old and revered friend, Rev. Richard
Walker, true reformer and who aided me
largely in getting out of theological quag
nires, took me back again to my Princeton
scenes of pioneer life there enacted again

Ideas Of reforms instituted into his mind by
his venerated father. Hastily.

spare from my business, as the hard times
compel me to be always at the helm. one
of my brother merchants and myself had
an animated discussion few evenings
ago and l claimed there was little or no
difference between the Republicans and
the Democrats Well accident placed in
my hands a Republican paper which Will
accidenty let part of the truth get to the
public and this part confirmed my asser-
ton and l took il to his store and pre-
scented the paper to him which he took and
read, though being a Democrat he had
no objection to handle the Republican
paper and when he got through reading
the article. handed him the Representa-
tive, pencil marked in many places. He
reached his hand to take it. but seeing 1T
was a Populist paper. he would not touch
it. / told him it would not bite him. He
shook his head and left me at once, saying
he would have nothing to do with the
cranks. l thought if we ever reach those
fellows, and there are many Of them, that
we must strike them where they carry
their brains, viz: In their pockets. 1t will
do them no good to strike them in the

He who provides not for those Of his

applies to governments as we'll as to in

time we are as dependent on Great Britain
for our lawful money as we are are on the
Omnipotent for the air we breathe.
Gush, will not remove a grievance; and
the attentions of the people have been
called to the great national wrong COM
United In 1873, when the Republican party
struck down silver; and that question will
not down until it is settled upon the basis
OF our national constitution. 1t is very
gratifying to the laborers in the Peoples
Party cause that the current Of public
opinion is growing stronger every day in
favor of the Peoples Party principles,
and the spirit of justice cries aloud against
the evasive and atrocious actions of the
old parties that deal out oppression to the
innocent and shield the guilty from the
legitimate consequences of willful trans
erosion. And think of it; the people are
responsible for the acts of their chosen
servants for without their consent the
government could not exist. But, thank
God, no bankers association can call a
halt in this battle for the people. 1t is
destined to go forward, and the people are
uniting in defense Of it, and will put it
through.

DIRECT LEGISLATION,

Editor Representative:
Arrowsmiths definition for direct leg
islation are two, viz: O Initiative
Where a certain percentum of citizens,
by mandatory petition, introduce prop
osition of law to the consideration of all
the citizens so that at the following cleo
ton it will appear upon the ballot by title,
where every voter will have the privilege
of writing Eyes" or mo" opposite it. If
a majority vote Eyes" it becomes law and
only the people, by a similar vote, can
repeal it.
(2) Observation-Disclosures a certain per-
centum of the citizens by mandatory pc
tition compel the submission to vote of
the people of law already enacted by
some legislative body. Method of voting
for or against same as under initiative.
Sullivan's definitions of direct legisla-
ton are: az "The Initiative. THE pro-
posal (by petition) of a law by percen-
tlim of the voters.
~ "The Referendum THE vote at
the polls on a proposed law.
Law making by the voters is termed
direct legislation to distinguish it from
law making by representatives, which is
supposed to carry out the will of the SOW
e1eign people indirectly"
Fellow Citizens-The coming town of
Newport election offers a crude example
of direct legislation, viz: The question of
the new bridge on Superior street. True,
we will have chance to vote on this
measure, but to most it will be hastily
and without time for serious reflection.
"Under direct legislation, as practiced
in the New England states, (see Coming
Nation" p. of No. 149, Mar. 28), the
town of Brookline, Norfolk county, Mass.
"a town within city, Boston,, and hay
ing a population of $4,000, metropolitan
in character, but so much more cheaply
and better run than Boston, that it is
constantly receiving population there
from, and is popularity known as "Tax
Dodgers Paradise"
Here's the way they do it.: A warrant
for the yearly town meeting contains
proposals calling for action, accompanied
by pamphlet, being the report of the
town board on the articles in the war
rant. These proposals are the result of
resolutions by the town board 60 to 80
days ago, and sent out to the voters about
20 days before the town meeting. They
read about in this form:
"To the voters of the town of Newport.
In pursuance of a resolution of the town
DCdru Oh feD. ISL, Tie IOllOWlng prOpOS-
ais are laid before the voters: % pro-
posal to build new bridge across Park
Ravine on Superior street. Circular
should state the necessity of the bridge,
it's unsafe condition now, cost, etc. The
law is that the county must stand half
the total cost, estimated at $4,000, for an
iron bridge, and this would leave but
| 81 400 for Viewpoints share of such COST
If action is delayed the next session of
the legislature might cancel this law and
we WORLD then have to pay all of it, quite
| an extra burden, you see. Such bridge
would last SO years, or more; be graceful,
durable, safe; and an accident with the
old one might soon cost us twice that
