REDUCED FARES.
Delegates Take Notice!


The Great Northern, Northern Pa
citic and all roads in the Western Pas
senger Association haYe granted a
round trip rate Of fare and third
on the certificate plan, from all points
in Minnesota for the Minnesota State
Farmers Alliance and Peoples Party
meetings, to be held at St. Paul, Jan.
5, 1897.
Delegates should be sure to procure
receipts from the local ticket agent,
showing that full fare was paid to ST.
Paul. These certificates must then be
filled out and countersigned by the
Secretary of the meeting, before it's
adjournment, when they will be hon.
ored for return tickets at one-third
fare.
Tickets may be purchased three
days prior to Jan. 5, and are good up
to and including three days after the
closing of the convention.
The outlook for an immense gather
ing is very favorable. We receive en-
couranging letters from all parts of
the state, which assure us that the
farmers are waking up again.
The labor organizations will be rep
resented by large delegations from St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Saltwater.
The meeting will probably be held
in the State Capitol, or in the Tr;- jes
and Labor Hall.
All Alliance men and Populists
should be sure to attend. Your Inter
SITS are to be discussed.

THE ALLIANCE AID.

Mseting at Bird Island-Cheap and Safe Insur-
ance.
Editor Representative.
a very interesting meeting of the
National Alliance Aid was held in
Bird Island on the 10th inst. Presi-
dent A. Wardall, presided, and pre-
sented several amendments to the by
laws of the order that owing to the
growths of the order were needed;
they were adopted unanimously. The
report for the past year shows splen-
did growth. With proper effort made
in this state the coming year we can
soon secure a state Jurisdiction, whe u
we accomplish that We can give safe,
cheap and sure insurance that will
compare favorably with any fraternaI
insurance.
They saw fl to elect me as delegate
to attend the annual meeting to be
held in February, either in Texas or
Kansas, the place of meeting not be-
ing fully decided yet. There is no
question in my mind as to this frater-
nal insurance being the only form of
organization that will prove lasting
among farmers and one that will grow
stronger with time and trial.

HE FAVORS UNION.

I enclose a paper which 1 think will do
good republished. You can strike out
some paragraphs if you like. While
think that Mr. Watson's course caused q
great injury to our cause and possibly it's
defeat for the time, yet his papers like
that in the current number of the Rep
resentative, What Shall We Do" is
grand. 1t is a big mistake, so much
harping against fusion. Far better to
denounce confusion. Now Watson still
''harps On my daughter" and says Sewall
should have been forced off the ticket.
Folly insufferable. No one had the pow
er to do it and had it been done Watson
would not, owing to his impracticable
ways-nO one questions his ability-have
received 100000 votes. We have the
right ito shear wolves" Wise men do
not exercise the right. All this talk
about there being 6,500000 in favor Of
Peoples Party idea is nonsense; 8,000,-
900 are in favor Of bimetallism.
Undoubtedly millions voted for Nc
Kinley who would have favored Bryan,
but for the fear of too much reformation.
Under two banners, without cohesion
of purposes, no battle was ever gained.
1t was a great success to get one of the
old parties reformed, regenerated.
If they do nothing more and stand by
what has been done there is hope for us.
l. who never voted for a Democratic tick
ct, till Bryan led, feel this deeply. No re-
form is possible until the gold standard
is broken.
Three-fourths of the people can write
on that and will. It was grandly brought
out at Chicago, the added declarations Of
a new movement and it wants to the
verge of prosperity and safety.
Sincerely yours, four our country and
humanity, j. w. Porter.
