planks to be "free coinage Of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and all issue
Of paper money by the government alone.
Frank l.. Young, Of Duluth, also sends
in 20 new subscribers, with a promise that
more will follow.
A. c. Teien, of Teen, Mimi, says he has
been a reader of The Representative for
some years; and believing in the princi-
Piles laid down for the people of the
United States; he therefore contributes
"a 90 to the campaign fund, by sending in
the names of fifty new subscribers for
the period Of three months, thinking that
the farmers have more time to read in the
winter than in the summer. Long live
Donnelly and the Cause"
VIM. Robdore of Bismarck, NJ D.,
sends in dollar to renew his subscrip-
ton. saying: Keep right on with the
good work; I cannot get along without
The Representative"
T. T. Julseth, Rockford, Wash, says:
My best wishes have always followed
The Representative since it started; and
1t really has done more good than any
other paper I know of. l feel that I
should have done more than l have in
helping the good work along, but since
L came out here, panic and misfortune
rolled onto me like a flood to do any,
thing beyond keeping my own head above
water was impossible. / am now nearly
HIly years Olu, ana never saw q country
SO badly stripped Of money as this state
Of Washington; and the people are now
losing their homes by the wholesale. I
for my part think l shall be able to be
back in Minnesota before election of go"
]. H. Maxwell, Worthington, Mimi,
says:
Dear Sir-Enclosed find one dollar for
the best paper that l take, The Represent
atlve. If every voter in the land would
tWn nj or~tio
would be buried next fall so deep that
GabriePs trumpet could not resurrect
them. But the dear people seem to prefer
darkness rather than light, so the most
of them stick to the old party papers, and
they are blind leaders of the blind so they
are sure to fall into the ditch. But it is
too bad that they pull the rest of us
in. But we must all keep pounding away,
and the time is sure to come that the
right will triumph and the people will
run this country in the interest Of all in
stead of the few as it is now run.
Maurice Luly, Long Lake, Hennepin
county, Mimi, sends so new subscribers
and says:
Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 would like to see
at least one man in every township in this
state, man that believes in the principles
advocated by The Representative some
man that is willing to give little of his
time toward increasing the usefulness Of
The Representative, start out and get up
a Club of Fifty. Let him start with his
next neighbor, and ask him for % cents
for IS weeks subscription to The Rep
resentative. Tell him, as / have done
that if at the end Of the 10 weeks he
thought he had not had his moneys
worth, l would return his 25 cents to him.
The canvasser will very likely get his
first quarter if his neighbor has any con-
fidence in him. Let him keep on in that
way until he has sixteen names and six
teen quarters, then fill in the balance Of
the SO names of men that YOU KNOW
will read; men that will do their own
thinking You can find fifty such men in
almost any town. There is no need of
hunting up fifty men and asking eight
cents apiece of them.
Hoping that the circulation of The
Representative will equal the number of
votes cast for S. M. Owen one year ago.
before the next campaign opens, and that
you. Mr.. DOnnelly, may live to see the
principles you have so long advocated,
accepted by the people of this state
D. M. Vess, Rockford, WASH says:
With the few sample copies that you
sent me 1 started out and found it easy
work to get a club for your paper. I Sc
cured II in one days time. If every
reader of The Representative would do
that well or half that we'll it would not
be long till the blinded eyes of the people
could see where the trouble is. If every
farmer in the land would take The Rep
resentative it would soon help them to
see where the trouble lay.
"A few words to readers of The Repre-
sentative. Now, brothers. let us keep The
Representative booming; for it is doing
a great work. Don't let ClevelandJohn-
Bull-busness scare you from 1.-The middle
Of the road" Take all the Popuist
papers that you can; and when done read
ing, then give them around to others. If
we can get the people to read they are
all right. There are great many people
who don't think about their own interests
unless they can see it in print. Circulate
all the reform papers and literature you
can"
1.-THE Little Statesman contains about
a thousand times much information
as many big statesmen of national rep
utation. The former only costs % cents,
