NATIONAL DELEGATES.

Although the Populist Natio-
nal convention will not be held
until the 22nd day of July, it is
we'll to began to consider what
mode of selection the delegates
from this district, shall be adop,
ted.
We understand that this dis
trict is to send ten delegates.
Usually the district delegates
are selected at the nominating
convention for representatives in
congress. But the very timely,
prudent and proper action of the
National committee in recon
mending that all nominating con-
ventions for representatives in
congress and state officers be
postponed until after the national
platform is adopted will make it
necessary to hold two congress
sional district conventions this
year if the delegates are to be
elected at a convention.
In a large district like this, it
costs the delegates to the conven-
ton a great deal of money to at
tend it.. And in as much as it
will cost a considerable sum of
money to attend the national con-
vention at St. Louis there is not
likely to be any great contest over
positions on the delegations.
Following the example set by
the state committee in appointing
the two delegates at large, we sug-
gest that the district committee
meet and appoint the delegates to
the national convention.
Also in order that the commit
tee may be furnished with a list
of names of men who are willing
and able to spend the time and
money necessary to make the trip
we suggest that all who are will
ing to go as delegates signify it
to the committee by writing to
tho chairman, Chris. Johnson,
Fergus Falls, MINI.
Should the com mittee decide to
call a convention to- elect dele
gates, those who may have writ
ten as suggested above will not
be out more than a. piece of
paper, an envelope and postage
stamp. ..
The Globe suggests that the
other Populist papers in the: dis
trict give this matter their atten.
ton at once.-Fergus Globe.

Republican or Die.

;. Asfriend at Grue sends us the
following conversation overheard
betWeen=a Republican and a Pop
uist: SIS:
Populist- Well, what party do you
intend to. support this fall?
:Repubfean-I have always voted
the Republican ticket straight and will
always do so, no matter what men or
measures it advocates. -...-- -.
P.-What were the reasons that
made you support that party?
R.-Because it was for high pro-
lection.
Pillow does high protection bene
fit you?
R.-High neutrality-suspicious.
'tection-I went to town yestero ay and
had the mortgage renewed for five
years more.
P.-On the eighty you got on home
stead?
R.-Yes, it is handy that we can
have a chance to borrow.
Pit is something good then, even
under the Democratic administration?
R.-No, that is Republican inven-
ton.
P.-How do you like it?
R.-Nobody likes to be in debt and
had it not been for the Democrats
coming into power, it would not been
necessary for me to renew it.
P.-What party was in power five
years ago, when you made the first
loan?
R.-DO not recOllect.
P.-Has not Cleveland been Presi-
| dent about three years and two years
further back would bring us about in
the middle of Harrison's administra-
ton?
R.-Y-e-s.
P.-If under the Republican admin
istration you had to borrow and un-
! der Democratic administration you
did not need to borrow, but only re-
new probable the Democrats are uot
as bad as your party men say:
! R.-Well dollar is now so much
better that we can buy much more
with it than before so do not need to
increase my debt.
Pillow much more taxes, interest,
debts, transportation and other eX-
penses can you pay with a dollar
than before?
Riff we can elect Mckinley presi.
| dent all the factories will start and we
will have good times and protection
P.-Where will you get the money tc
buy their products?
R.-Do not know, but our party lner
will tell us this fall when the campaign
is On,
P.-Do you believe what they say:
R.-Well, yes. No, they have told
SO many lies already that if there il
any truth in them it ought to come GU
now
P.-Suppose turkeys can only rails

THE COMING CONFLICT.

1ulS CHILL pdlSll Will SetUle Ol1e
thing, no matter who wins, and
that is whether this country is
going to remain a republic in
fact or not. If after all the edu-
cation that is now being done
both by experience and the press,
the people will still vote for con-
traction of the money volume and
their own ruin, then the people
do not possess intelligence
enough to govern themselves,
and further agitation on this
line is useless. If public reform
does not carry some signal vic
tory this fall to encourage those
that are pushing it, they will sim
ply quit. If thatshould be thecase
then the sooner a few men own
everything and all the common
people are reduced to beggary
the better. For that will be the
road they will have to travel after
all before anything better will
come. It lies with the common
people to say how they want it.
You farmers, you laborers and
you business men that are now
complaining Of hard times and
all that sort of a thing, you are
the ones to decide this matter.
You CAN have and will have,
just what you want. Down in
Mexico they have prosperous
times. Capital and labor is flock
ing there and property is raising
in value. These conditions pre-
vail there because Mexico has
a money system on which bust
ness can be done, and labor be
employed in the production of
wealth. You can have the same
thing here, the same prosperity
here and more so, if you want it.
1t lies with yourself to choose in
this matter. Or you can keep on
with our present money system
and kill this country deader than
q door nail. And you reformers
that see that there is something
wrong, and really want to do
something to better it, you can
divide yourself up into a dozen
different parties each shouting
for your own peculiar notion and
help our enemies to victory. Or
you can skulk in your tents or
straggle behind when the battle
is on and leave those who fight
for you to be slaughtered for
want of cheerful support, and be
the hewers of wood and drawers
of water to plutocracy the rest of
your days, and your children af-
ter you.
Such struggle as this cam
paign will be was never witnes.
sed before in the world s his

civilization before as this Ameri-
can nation of 100000 Of the

WE WANT PROTECTION.

The republicans say we must
return to the principle of pro
lection. We agree with them.
But lei us have protection of the
right kind. The rich and power
full have been pampered long
enough. They are able to protect
themselves. Let us rather pro-
tect the weak against the strong,
the workingman against the mon
opolist, the farmer against the
Shylock, the producer against
the idle despoiler.
Will the republican party &C
complish such a purpose? No.
It's leaders do not even aim at
these results. They would build
a still higher tariff wall around
'theprotected capitalist and manu-
facturer, while the workingman,
who must compete with the
immigrant from every pauperiz-
de country in the world, is left to
SHIFT for himself.
Will the protection of the re.
publican party be extended to the
farmer? Will it's candidates for
Office pledge themselves to do all
in their power to protect him
against the extortionate charges
of the railroad and express COM
panies? How can they do it and
at the same time earn the i'm
mense sums which the railroad
magnates of the country con-
tribute to the republican cam
paign fund each election year?
Twenty-Five thousand dollars is
the sum contributed in the last
campaign to the Minnesota re-
publican state central committee
by the railroads of this state.
Protection! Who do you think
gets it:
A year ago, when Mckinley
made his electioneering tour
through the south, it was in an
elegant car furnished him free
of cost by the head mogul of the
Standard Oil monopoly. Not
withstanding the wonderfully low
cost of producing Illuminating oil
with present improved methods,
the farmers must now give a
bushel of wheat for only two and
a half gallons Of kerosene OF gaso-
line. If we had men in office who
would enforce the antitrust laws
to break up this one monopoly it
would mean saving of millions
upon millions of dollars to the
people of this country. But the
Standard Oil infants want protec-
tion and they know just how and
where to get it.
The American land owners.
who should hold up his head and
look the whole world in the face,
conscious of the proud distinction
of being all independent king in
the fairest and richest country
under the sun-what of him? He
finds himself sinking into the
slough of despond beneath a
burden of mortgages, taxes and
bonds, and as he struggles to
free himself, sinks deeper and
deeper into the nire. What
kind of protection do they pro-
pose to extend to him? All, yes,
they are going to give him the
gold standard and make dollars
so scarce and dear that the strug-
Cling debtor can never secure
enough Of them to pay his debts,
and will therefore be compelled
to live in bondage all his days.
!. Protection and repu blican rule!
What a sarcasm! What a travesty
on common sense! The people in
their distress are crying out for
protection against the wolves
who are devouring them. but
they certainly ought not to look
for such protection from the
wolves them elve Reform.
