THE AGE OF LIARS.

We called attention, q month ago,
to the prodigious mendacity of the or
gans of the money lenders, trying to
keep the people quiet, while suffering
from the characterization OF silver, by
pretending that the out-pour from
new gold mines was Of tremendous
proportions; and that this was es-
pecially true Of the shores of Cook
Inlet, Alaska, where vast region of
country was overlooking with the yell

ment as false at the time, and events
have verified our Judgment. We read:

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION

At
The Democratic party has had
death-bed repentance. After many
years Of neglected opportunity it is
trying to do right when torn to
pieces.
The united Democracy could not
have carried the country; surely the
divided Democracy cannot. Interne--
cine war will be waged in Its ranks in
every state In the Union. The curse
OF Clevelandism afflicts. even those
who repudiate him.
Mr.. Bryan, its candidate for presi-
dent, is an able gentleman. His nomi-
nation was conspicuous and startling
triumph of genius. We might be
ready to support him but can we
transfer the Populist vote to him?
We fear not. The bulk Of our party
members, In this region, were former
ly Republicans; and their prejudlces
against the Democracy are deep and
strong. Can they be wiped out by
campaign enthusiasm? We fear not.
The Democratic platform comes
very close to the Populist platform
but it is not identical. Should we
abandon our own organization and be-
come Democrats? II we do what as
surance have we that, despite the
noble men,-like Bryan, Altgeld,
Daniels, Blackburn, Bland, etc.-who
have made this revolution possible
the devil may not rise up and take
possession Of the old organization
orce more, as he has done repeatedly
in the past? In 1892 we saw forty
Democratic majority ia the House. in
favor Of free-silver, converted,i in few
months, into fourteen majority
against it. History may repeat itself.
What II we put all the treasures of
reform into the Democratic boat and
the scoundrels scuttle it9 The head
of the Democratic party is now in the
wheat and cotton fields, but its legs
are still shackled in the banking
no uses of New York. Where is the
line where radicalism ends and com.
promise begins? What is corpse and
what is man?
Would it not be better to stand by
our own party-live or die. sink or
swim, survive or perisho
But Is there to be no union Of forces:
Certainly. Let US unite the free-sil.
yer elements in every state in support
of the same state and local tickets.
Let US divide the electoral vote fairly.
Let US combine to fight goldbuglsm
and save humanity from destruction.
II the Democracy adhere faithfully
to their new departure there may
| grow up, in the course Of time, one
concentrated, united and triumphant
party. II they 60 back to the wallow
in which they have rolled for years
then we can retreat to the entrenched
camp Of Populism, and hoist the ban
ner of the worlds hope and fight the
battle Of Armageddon.
| But whatever the Peoples Party
| shall conclude to do at St. Louis, we
shall abide by it. We are simply re-
cording the operations of our own
mind as events unroll themselves be
fore it.
We may be wrong. Let every mar

We are now almost In the midst of

month, July. will occur the two great
conventions at St. Louis-the Peo-

and the excitement will grow hotter
and hotter until it attains to white
heat in November.
THE REPRESENTATIVE will do its
part; and to further induce sub
scribers we make this liberal offer.
We wll furnish our paper from this
time until January 1st, 1897 for
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 cemts Is therefore aoithdrasoys. Those
who do not want to take the paper for
six months for forty cents, can take 1t
for three months for twenty-five cents.
We find that we are losing money on
the ten cent subscriptions.
The paper is growing at a wonderful
rate. It is spreading all over the
United States. In three pages Of oul
subscription book we find subscribers
from the following states and terri

THE GREAT REVOLUTION.

Senator Oscar Sweningsen, Of Aus

as much this year as any other man in
it. said this morning.
II don't believe the Republicans
have anything to fear this year from
the silver movement, In some Sec
tions Of the state, the silver men may
be strong, but they will be more than
outnumb ered by the Democrats who
will vote tho Republican ticket.
Take Mower county as an example.
It is simply astounding to see the
number Of old line, rockribbed Demo
Gratis who have announced their in

lican ticket this year. and the

vote the state ticket also, II the sill

THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL SAD
COMPLICATION.

The nomination Of Sewell, Of Maine,
for vice president. BY the Democrats,
is most unfortunate.
He Is precedent Of a national ba,aA
This platform is against national
banks and one OF the nominees is q
banker!
And the worst OF it Is that under
our electoral system zoe cannot vots for
Bryan soithott voting for Se,celll
And the Peoples Party can scarcely
endorse Bryan. without endorsing the
national banker; for II we endorse
Bryan and nominate some one besides
Sewell for vice president. we shall
have to have two sets OF electoral
tickets in each state, which will
necessarily conflict with each other,
and lead to endless Implications.
The Democratic national conven-
tion should have adjourned as soon as
Bryan was nominated, and paid the
Populists and Free-Silverites the poor
compliment Of letting them name the
small end OF the ticket.
Would it be possible for the Demo
cratic national committee to take the
banker of the ticket and fill his place
with some man to be named by the
Peoples Party and the Free-Silver
rarty. and then have our people en-
dorse Bryan?
Something has got to be done. Even
Bryan cannot carry a national banker
on his back.
II Bryan and Sewell were both cleo.
ted we would not give much for
Bryan's chances of q long public
career. When only single life stood
between Plutocracy and the White
House another Booth or Guiteau
would soon be found.
Bryan is q n0ble-hearted gentleman,
but with one-third of his vote taken
from him by the Gold-bugs. and he
tied to the corpse of national
banker, in the South and West, where
banker Is more bitterly hated than
the devil. he will find himself in "a
hard row of stumps."
1t may be that the only refuge of
the people will be in the ranks of the
Peoples Party; and that even the
Democrats will have to flock there fol
safety. We shall watch events with
profound interest. Let every man get
into his cyclone cellar, and do his own
thinking.
