A STRONG APPEAL-GET READY FOR WORK.

Editor Representative.
wish to say to my brother soldiers in
the cause Of humanity who voted with the
the Peoples Party in 1894 that if they
wish to win in the coming election that
the time to begin work is now, here.
There is work requiring much correspon-
dence, and therefore time is absolutely
necessary in order to have this campaign
carried on in an effective manner. 1t is
work that cannot be done in the heat of
campaign, in fact, you cannot make
your side hot unless you are ready for
business as soon as you put your tickets
in the field.
For the lack of this preliminary work
and funds your state central committee
for three campaigns have not been able
to make an effective fight and meet the
expectations of many earnest workers.
/ have consented to act as secretary of
the state central committee during the
remainder of it's term, which will be I'M
til the next state convention.
feel the great Importance of this pre-
liminary work and will do my part if you
will do yours. / shall start it if l have
to sell COW to pay for postage stamps.
and want you to keep the work going to
q finish.
Inc tneory OF campaign work expressed
in the statement, 1--WE will take care of
our own county," is deplored, and con-
demned by every man of experience in
political work; in order to have the most
effective work for your money your cam
paign must be Systematically and ener-
getically conducted by your state central
committee.
1t is with desire to lay basis for

The energy Of the campaign will depend
not alone upon the men who form your
committee, but much upon the working
power you put into their hands in the
shape of funds.
Among the assets of the Peoples Party

Editor Representatives:
Mr.. Editor: The grand old parties are
arousing quite an excitement between
themselves as the time approaches for
electing delegates to the st. Louis con-
vention. The Republicans have I'M
doubtedly decided on Mckinley and he
would make an excellent successor to
Father Grover, owing to the fact that
they are both reared, owned and en-
dorsed by capitalists and English bond
holders. 1t is immaterial to the people
which man the G. o. P. puts up because
they are all constituted alike We might

other candidate of the same gang, for all
the good the common people will get
through their administration. 1t is plain

INCONSISTENT-A STRIKING FACT.

INCONSISTENT-A STRIKING FACT.
Cleveland, in his annual message, claim
ed, because the Sherman act in 1890, said
it was his intention to keep all money
at a parity, that it was the duty Of the
treasury to pay all claims against the
United States in gold when gold was de-
manded, totally ignoring the following
Joint resolution of congress, which was
introduced by Stanley Matthews when
senator from Ohio, passed the senate Jan.
25, 1878, by a vote of AZ to 20, and the
house Jan. %, by a vote of 1S9 to 70.
President vetoed it, and it was passed
over his veto:
THAT all bonds of the United States
issued or authorized to be issued under
the said acts Of congress hereinbefore re-
cited are payable, principal and interest,
at the option of the government of the
United States, in silver dollars of the
coinage of the United States, containing
412Ha grains each of standard silver; and
that to restore to it's coinage such silver
coins as legal tender in payment of said
bonds, principal and interest, is not in
violation Of the public faith nor in duero-
CATION of the rights of the public cred
itor.'
The fact that every president, since the
passage of that resolution, has treated that
law as dead letter shows the plutocrats
have controlled the presidents, Democrats
and Republicans Here is law passed
by congress, vetoed by the president, and
passed over his veto by two-thirds ma
jority of both houses of congress. treated
as dead letter. though every president
has sworn to faithfully execute the laws.
How can the people be expected to respect
the laws when their president, sworn to
execute them, refuses to keep his oath?

Why Are the Prohibitionists Fierce Against
the Peoples Party.
Editor Representative.
1t seems to me that some Prohibition
lists attack the Peoples Party more
viciously than they do the old parties.
cannot understand why they should do
so. If they work for Reform, in earnest,
it seems natural that they should join
hands with those who are working for
reform BY staying in small bands,
fighting one another, they can never COM
mand the respect of the people; and
thereby permit the old parties to be in
power. The whisky ring works in har
mony with the old parties. Now, some of
the Prohibitionists say: 81 cah't, for con-
science sake, vote anything but the Pro-
hibition ticket" If were to argue about
religion I would say: Don't rest your
salvation on that measure alone"
I will only state the case as it ap-
pears to me. With the old parties in
power we can't even get a chance to vote
whether we want prohibition in the state
or not. A good many, like myself, have
spent lots of time in getting names to
petitions addressed to the legislature
asking them to permit the people to vote
for or against Prohibition in this state.
We have had several thousand names of
legal voters before the last legislature;
but they paid no attention to it. Now, if
we get the liquor traffic under govern
ment control, it would be necessary for
a state, or possibly a county, to vote for
a saloon in order to get it; also to vote
how many and who should run 1t. That
will give Prohibitionists chance to vote
against the saloon, without any party
politics being mixed in with it.
The Peoples Party wants to open the
gates, so the Prohibitionists can get in
and get a chance to fight their bitter
enemy, the Whisky power. The Peoples
Party holds out it's hands to everybody
that will work for reform When the
liquor traffic gets under government con-
troll, there will be no loafing and treat
ing one another in saloon. And it will
be to the interest of the saloon keeper
not to violate any of the clauses in the
law, as he has no income from his sales.
Minnesota would get Prohibition at once
and in one generation the whole system
would be wiped out of the whole United
States. &C. ]. Arntzen.
eve add to our correspondents in
quiries this:-Why do the Prohibitionists
permit that miserable slanderer, the Rev.
CD James Pinkham, to goaround holding
meetings in their name? This man
spread the basest falsehoods, in private
conventions, against the editor of The
Representative, and when we showed the
utter falsity and challenged him to prove
his charges or apologize like man, he
did neither. A respectable pick-pocket
would be ashamed of such action.
The prohibitionists are highly moral,
worthy people, but if they can't get any
one better than Pinkham to speak for
them they had better invite the devil to
canvass Minnesota for Prohibition, for
we are assured "the prince of darkness is
gentleman" and that is more than
Pinkham ever was or will bed. Rep.)

A New Side of Missionary

The Sick Are Healed and
Hearts Touched.

In Bulgaria. as In all eastern countries
where misery abounds, the healing OF
the sick Is the surest way TO the heart OF
the natives. These extracts, from the
letters Of Mr.. George ID. Marsh, a mis-
sionary of the American Board. tell their
own stories. He writes from Phil
lipopolis, Bulgaria. as follows:
We have just received your very kind
and generous donation OF Arnold's Bal
som, and wish 10 express our most hearty
thanks for the gift. We have long known
and valued this medicine, and were glad
TO receive this bountiful supply. We had

two loud calls for the Balsam.

wife of one OF our pastors had only lit

TO keep In case of need for any Of her
children. A neighbor came in begging
for some kind of medicine for her hus-
band, whom she thought would soon be

rhoea that had laid hold Of him. The
last of the Balsam was given, and the

next morning the man, who was on his
feet and around the village, said: II

the first using the child improved, and
was soon well.
Later the father said to me: THAT

A dear Christian woman came to me
asking IL could not give her something
to take home. She had walked 10 miles
from her village 10 attend church. She
reported that many children were dying
from dysentery, and their people did not
know what to do for them, except call
