EXCEPT THE FIFTH.
Silver men control all the districts
except the Fifth, in which Louisville is
located. In the Fifth district all re-
ceiving places were not only instructed
for the gold standard, but each candi-
date was made TO pledge himself.
1t was raining this afternoon as the
delegates to the Democratic state con-
vention assembled. The music was
continuous and the decorations were
elaborate. Hon. Charles Long, chair
man of the state Democratic central
and executive committee, selected last
year when the gold standard men con-
I trolled the organization, in calling the
convention to order, gave an interest
ing history of the Hardin-Bradley cam
paign and contest for control of the
/ legislature. concluding as follows:

Gratis, differ with you greatly on the
money issue and regard it as the issue
of supreme Importance to our country,

LEXINGTON, KY, June g. The
drift of the Democratic state conven-
ton today has been to make Senator
Blackburn president and General P.
Watt Hardin, the defeated candidate
for governor. his successor in the SEN
ate. The convention is ten to one
for the Is to 1 ratio. 1t was thought
before the districts met that the gold
standard men would get the Chicago
delegates and other representative
out of three districts, but the Louis
vile district is the only one out of the
eleven that the gold men controlled,
and the committee on credentials is
laborirg all night on contests that may
wrest the fifth district from the gold
men and give a solid delegation to Chi
cago for free silver. The delegation
is instructed to
VOTE AS A UNIT
for Blackburn ait Chicago, and Black
burn is sitting up all night taking
part in the contests before the COM
mittee on credentials. Blackburn's con-
ciliatory course was followed in the
resolutions and the advice in the
speeches of Blackburn and Hardin
HOI 10 give one lOLa OIL Inelr Victory
away is likely to be followed in the
report on credentials, in which event
a bolt tomorrow is probable. The first
and second districts today condemn
Secretary Carlisle by name in their
resolutions, and all of the districts ex-
cept the fifth condemn the national
administration, but the committeeman
convention were more conservative. The
convention at one time attempted to
prevent the fifth district delegates
from voting till the report on creden-
tials was adopted. Colonel Joseph K.
Hickey, of Missouri, member of the
Bland executive committee, <has been
comforting with Blackburn during-the
day, and it is stated that the relations
between them are not only pleasant,
but also satisfactory.
THE FEATURES OF THE DAY
were not so much the speeches of
Blackburn and Hardin, as the ova-
lions that are rendered them in the
hotels, convention hall, or wherever
they appear. Hot fights are expected
tomorrow on credentials and resolu-
tons.
j. C. S. Blackburn, w. P. Hardin and
John S. Rhea and w. t. Ellis have
been determined upon for delegates at
large and w. K. Wheeler, of Paduc9h
for permanent chairman.

Sherman. 1T is
A MOST EXTREME POWER

and dangerous one unless exercised

this wise restriction is set aside and

Mr.. Smith Dem.) of New Jersey said
this discussion of the veto power was
not new. AS a result of personal in
quiry at thc engineer department he
was able to state that this bill con-
tanned appropriations of $40, 500, 900 for
projects which had not been approved
by the government engineers, and
81 800, 600 for projects which the engin-
GERS had reported as unworthy.
Mr.. Villas said that the bill contained
important appropria tons for his state.
but he could not bring himself to the
conviction that this great burden
should be added to the distressed
shoulders of the people of the country.
He regarded the criticisms of the veto
by Mr.. Vest as excessively minute and
inconsequential. The appropriations OF
this congress would exceed $500, O0O, 600

TERM)RIZING.

We were called upon yesterday by
about thirty of Ovens ga ng, headed
by ex-Parson Dorbyn; they filed into
our Office at e42a Boston Block, Mime
apolis, in solemn procession, and stood
up like crows onI& fence while the ex-
Parson categorieally questioned us as
to whether wev would or would not
support Mr.. Owen for Congress.
Among the crowd was Robert Eek
ford. formerly our Business Manager.
We supposed he had called to repay
the subscriptions to The REPREsEN-
TATIvE which he had pocketed, but it
seems he was there to give respect
ability to the gathering. And he did.
Parson Dobbyn, in tones which
seemed to imply that our execution
was to follow at once, and that he had
the rope in his pocket, put the
mOmentOus question.
We told him that we would not sup
support Mr.. Owen for any Office, un.
der any circumstances; that he was
not worthy any honest mans support;
that We would fight him to the end:
and If II sundered our relations with
the Peoples Party we'll and good; and

we would fight him outside the party.
And We banged the table so emphati-
caliy that they sneaked out like .
gang OF undertakes who found the
corpse missing.
This was meant to terrorize US. but
we did not terrorize worth cent.
These men knew perfectly we'll by the
utterances of THE REPRESENTATIVE
that we would not support Owen; and
II they wanted to interview US about
anything else, q committee Of three
would have served as we'll as COM
mittee Of thirty.

Of Wateryille, says the next state con-
vention is to expel us as the Demo
cratic convention did Lawler. They
will not have the opportunity. And
If they did forty explosions would not
force US to support Owen. We will
take the stump against him. We have
fought the lions of Republicanism and
Plutocracy too long to be scared by a
lot Of yelping wolves and foxes.

VERY TRUE.

A prominent St. Paul Democrat
writes us, under date of Aug. 18th.
It is reported today that the PEN
ny Press refuses to print the last issue
OF the REPRESENTATIVE. Is this
true? 1t the friends of free silver at
this time commence quarrelino
among themselves the last hone Of
carrying either the state or nation
will be gone"
Very true. But whose fault fs itp
The Penny Press refused to complv
with the terms of their written con.
tract, and tied up our paper when the
issue to be printed was already maid
for In advance; and then covered us
with lies, ISLANDERS and abuse. No
man can ask us to patiently submit
to such treatment. And we have a
perfect right to attack S. M. Owen for
treachery to the party when he is not
the candidate Of the party, and will
not be unless another party indorses
-ldm. There IL therefore no question
pf party fidelity at issue.

We think our readers will note the
improved appearance Of THE REPRE-
SENTATIVE this week. The paper on
which 1T is printed Is whittier and bet
ter, and the type clearer. But what
the Penny Press lacked in workman.
ship it made up in insolence and
trickery. There is no other business
concern Oh earth that would exhibit
to newspaper reporter its private
contracts with its customers, or that
would claim $500 or $500 from those
who did not owe it cent, but had
overpaid 1t $50.
But We must not abuse it too
severely for we expect to own it IN
about month or six weeks.

THE END NOT YET.

On Tuesday last, August IL, 1896.
Ignatius Donnelly, editor of The REP
REsENTATIvE, was called on. at his
Office, GAP Boston block, Minneapolis,
by Mr.. Peter Sutherland, an estimable
gentleman, connected with the PEN
ny Press Company, which did the press
work for THE REPRESENTATIVE. Mr..
Sutherland said his paper was in hard
lines financially, and begged Mr.. DON
nelly to let him have as much money
as he could spare. Mr.. Donnelly re-
piled that he had not gone over the ac-
counts carefully, but he did not think
there was much, if anything, due the
Penny Press; but to help them out he
gave Mr.. Sutherland his check for $40,
aid took his receipt for the same
And that evening, as was his custom
he left Minneapolis, at 6:25. for his
country home. What was his aston

manager of THE REPRESENTATIVES,:

a letter from Mr.. Seberger. enclosing

THE LUMBER TRUST.

Editor Representative:
Will you please inform US whethe
there is Lumber Trust" and how
it operates, and oblige. yours truly,
ZILLIaET & JOHNSON.
We cannot speak definitely upon the
subj ect, for such matters are kept Sc
cret; but we understand that all the
wholesale lumbermen of the North
west are united in an organization to
fix prices and prevent competition:
and that they agree not to deal direct
~ with any individual farmer or bus
mess man, SO that it is impossible for
one not retail lumber dealer to buy
stick of timber from a manufac-
turer. A case growing out Of dis
pute between the wholesaler and a re-
taller went to the United States dis
trict court, and Judge r. R. Nelson
held that 1t was not monopoly
against public policy, because it was
not shown that it extended, In the
particular town in question, to every
man that sold lumber. Under the de-
cision all that is necessary is for the
trust to keep one man employed to
sell few boards in the course of a
year, and the monopoly stands.
A similar system of trusts extends
to wheat, flax. coal, kerosene, cattle,
butchers meat, whisky, tobacco,
boots, shoes, biscuits, barley, express
matter, railroad transportation, and
pretty much everything else the peo-
pie use. This is one of the causes that
keeps so many poor. II the continued
life of the Peoples Party is necessary
for nothing else it is to fight the trust
cancer of the age.

And remember these conclusions
are based on the figures given by the

And over these figures the fool

masterpiece. Never before was 50

envy was taken up in detail. squeezed
In the grip of the orator, and dropped

OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
THE PENNY PRESS.

The Penny Press tries to cast some
slurs-altQgether lies--upon The
REPRESENTATIVE Company for fail
ing to pay its debts.
Good Lord! Why the Penny Press
is one mass of debt, poverty despera-
tiOn, fltffRnd nastiness. 1t owes the
greater part of 100000 on its bonds,
and nearly $4,000 on its presses; it
owes everybody for everything, includ-
ing even its workmen. Saturday q
week ago it paid its printers one dol
lar apiece for weeks work, with
which to support themselves and
their families! The poor fellows have
been half starved. We had to make
one of them a present Of five dollars
to pay his board. It was publicly
charged by the Republicans, two
months ago. that the Penny Press had
offered to sell its influence to Loren
Fletcher, the Republican candidate
for Congress. for $500. It is the COM
mon talk on the street that it cannot
live through the campaigns; and that
it is liable to sell out its plant to the
friends of Mckinley at any hour. It
has not dollar of credit and does not
even keep bank account; and no one
would trust it as far as you could fling
a bull by the tail. It is rotten from
center to circumference:-morally,
physically and financially. 1t is the
last paper in the world that should at
tack the monetary standing of any
person.
We have sued them for $4,000 for
damages, and have not the slightest
doubt we shall get judgment against
them for the full amount of our
claim. Our only fear is that. the pa
per will dissolve in a bad stink before
we can get execution upon our judg-
ment.
The REPRESENTATIVE Company
has paid them nearly $1,000 in two
years; it has kept them alive; and
when they refused to print our paper
they owed us $3O.6l; and we would
have owed them $92.62 three days
thereafter, if they had complied with
their contract; and small sum on
September 10Th, 1896, a month there
after. We had the money in bank to
pay the 1872 81 when it fell due.
II we now owe them anything we
will deduct it from our judgment
against them. They never complied
with the terms Of their contract as to
the printing Of the paper in any par
ticular, or as to the quality of the pa
per or workmanship; and legally we do
not owe them penny; but il a court
decides that we do owe them anything
we will give them due credit on our
bill for damages.
They must not complain. They
have had such royal, Jolly, amusing,
splendid time trying to crush u.s.
showing our private contract to news
paper reporters, and violating every
principle of decent business men,
and lying about us with lies forty feet
thick, in strata, that they must be
content now to dance for a space
while we fiddle. We will give them
plenty of music. 1t is said to be
splendid sport to hunt the tiger. but
not so really amusing and laughable
II the tiger hunts you. It is the
tigers turn now. We will leave to
the jackaSses the inestimable privi-
lege Of braying at the top Of their
lungs when they feel our claws.

We wM furnish our paper from this

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 ,cithdra,cn. 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

Average prices Mexico. PAT us. O82
Here then we find that the prices of
agricultural products in Mexico are
three times as high as in the United States!
And the Times-Herald comedies that
this is due to the fact that one coun-
try is under a bi-metallic standard
and the other under q single gold
standard! And 1t appeals to the
workingmen Of the city of Chicago to
sustain the gold bugs, because, it says,
they would have to pay three times as
much for the farmers productions!
1t does not perceive that the rule
works both ways and that the farm
ers of the United States should vote
for Bryan and free silver because then
,ciu get three times as much for eclsat they
produce as they do now.
And then it lies about wages by
quoting, not the recompense of skilled
labor, in Mexico, but the pay given to
the "greasers." who for hundreds Of
years have been poems or serfs,-only
two per cent of them able to read and
write;-and emitting the fact that
skilled. intelligent American labor in
Mexico is paid three or four times as
much as in this country.
But it gives these sample prices Of
the fruits of labor in the two coun-
tries:
Mexican price. q. 8. price.
Iron bedstead 1880 $50
Mattress and pillows 1900 1000
Blankets, per pair. 600 3.45

Ingram carpet per

Cheapest calico.... .13 .06
Average ........... $3l.1l $5.88
By this it appears that the compen-
sation Of labor, engaged in manufac-
turing, is six times as great in Mexico
as 1t is in the United States. II the
wages of workmen were six times as
great in this country as they are they
could afford to pay the farmers three
times as much for their productions.
And q three-fold higher price for
everything that the farmer produces
