"FATTENED LIKE HELPERS"

Really we must protest against the
disrespect shown by Senator Mills, of
Texas, to the daughters of our Ameri-
can millionaires, who go abroad to buy
up the rotten carcasses of diseased
mobiles, with the plumber wrung from
our unhappy producers. He called
them 'heifers." 1t is awful! Has the
aristocracy Of robbery no rights? Here
is an extract from Mill's speech:
Mr.. Mills then turned his attention
to the daughters of millionaires, fatted
like heifers and sent abroad in quest of
titles" When vast fortunes had been
built up by unjust taxation" he said,
these daughters were put on market,
hawked and peddled, sold for princess
eS and duchesses and cOuntesses and
marchionesses and all other cesses"
And here, he exclaimed, was congress
1egislating the money to pay for these
trips abroad If the American people
accepted this condition then they were
not worthy of self-government.

CAN THIS BE TRUEe

Here is a statement from "The New
Road" (Pop). of Denver. Col. We have
too much confidence in Mr.. Towne and
the Minnesota free-silver brethren to
believe it.
Our editorial last week on. the new anti
Bryan party (known as the Silver Re
ment. Those who are not inclined to be-
lieve that our Views are correct are invited
to 20 into particulars with US. We will
demonstrate TO them that 1t Is put-up
job among the corporation attorneys of the
far West who know that 1t is their only
Washington and work for their corpora
tons. while Uncle Sam pays them and to
see that compromise is made by which
silver Is give n free coinage and the Chicago
p atfOl m is killed. The int ligent refOrmer
who knows what all this means realizes
yer question. There is more to it than
free coinage and 1t involves the happiness
and prosperity of the whole people. An eff
fort will be made shortly to bring out Con-
gresham Towne with q view Of making a
deal by which Whitney David B. Hill. Au-
gust Belmont and the rest of the Roth
child Democrats can get together and
knock out the Chicago platform and by
that act save the necks of the great trusts,
moncpOles and railroad corporations that
now have the masses by the throat. There
is plenty OF time before 1900 All that need
be done to knock out this scheme is to give
their scheme the widest sort Of publicity.
The silver Republican deal is corporation
deal backed up by the corporation attOr-
neys and put in the field for no other pur-
pose than to defeat the Chicago platform.
Cut this out and paste 1t In your hat.

CASH OR CREDIT,

Buffalo Lake News: The system of doing
such a large volume OF business on credit
Is keeping the people of the Northwest
from being as progressive as they other
wise could be. Credit is veritable cancer
that eats into the heart of business life
causing bankruptcy and ruin. Credit Is
very apt to ruin both those who extend if
and those who get it; the one financially.
the other morally.
Very true. The demonstration of sill
yer contracted the worlds supply Of
money one half; this made it harder to
get more valuable; it took more of the
toiler's productions to buy it. This
meant credit, debt, interest, usury,
bankruptcy; with an increase in crime.
In suicides, III pauperism and in insau-
fty. And all this means the masses on
the down grade and the money-Ienders
the masters of the planet.
1t is all as clear as cause and effect
Who dares contradict these views?

LYING AS USUAL.

The Pioneer Press feels acutely the

to do with the organization of the First
Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers in
1861 and nothing whatever to do with
the other regiments. And yet it knows
perfectly we'll that it is lying.

RAILROAD DOMINATION.

"Garret A. Hobart, vice president OF
the United States, figures in an agree
ment of the Joint Traffic Association
bv which ten railroads running east
from Chicago formed gigantic phys
ical pool and distributed freight
traffic among themselves on percent
age basis.
Evidence to this effect was brought
out before the interstate commerce COM
mission yesterday in it's investigation
into alleged grain rate cutting among
the railroads. The names of Vice Presi-
dent Hobart, j. F. Goddard, and
F.. H. Leonard appeared
at the foot of the agree
ment as arbitrator of the percentage
to 20 to each road. The Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern alone diverted
y. 466. 40 pounds of freight to a COM
netting line from Feb. 26 to April l,
1897, in order to keep faith in the big
pool formed among the east-bound
roads.
sThe commerce commission claimed in
1895 that this pooling was violation of
the interstate commerce law, while the
Joint Traffic Association declared
physical pool was necessary in order
to maintain the rates. The case is still
pending, though the United States cir
cult and appellate courts decided against
the commission A recent decision in the
famous trans Missouri, case in which
it was alleged that the same agreement
was a violation of the antitrust law,
was decided against the Joint Traffic
Association. Notwithstanding this
decision, it was sworn to yesterday
that the association still continued to
pool traffic, though the agreement sign
ed by the vice president had been
declared a violation of the antitrust
law"

THE REASON.

A gentleman, Populist, said to us
the other day: THE Representative is
a tremendous power for good between
elections, but just before elections it is
always in row. Why is it,
The answer is plain enough. Be-
tween elections no one has any interest
IN attacking US, and we work away, un-
hindered, in our efforts for the good of
the people. But in each campaign, for
the last five years, S. NJ. Owen and
his tools have jumped on this paper,
to destroy it. In 1894 they sent out
from Owens newspaper Office in this
city, circulars signed by the Peoples
Party State Central Committee, CD
urging the Populists to support and
secure subscribers for an unborn paper,
to be owned by John r. Walsh, a gold
bug of Chicago Owens brother,-one
of the most vicious devils in the state,
- was behind that deal.
Last year they filled the daily papers
of the Twin Cities with attacks, claim
ing that "The Representative" was
bankrupt, and they actually held up our
publication for two days, to our great
injury, until we returned from MIN
niger, and showed that instead of ow-
ing them $3.50 we did not owe them a
cent. The fellows who did this dirty
trick belonged to the Owen gang. Now,
thank God, they are all busted" and
scattered to the winds; and we are
told the circulation of Farm, Stock and
Home has fallen off nearly one-half,
while our circulation is increasing with
every issue.
When we defended ourself against
those repeated attempts at assassina-
ton the rascals said:-
What a turbulent fellow is this!
He won't die quietly, like gentleman.
There is row every time we try to
exterminate him. Let us have peace
and first class funeral! Drive the
knife into him quietly and harmonious
ly. Selah!"

STAND FIRM.

THEY ARE COMING AROUND.
The Silver Republican convention
had this to say in their address to the
people of United States:
ut would be useless to deny that So
cial and industrial evolution is shaking
for political treatment other questions
that will successfully ripen for settle
ment after the monetary reformation
shall have been accomplished, and that
the underlying principles on which
their wise settlement depends are such
as naturally place their achievement
in the same hands. Many of these have
been long advocated by THAT GREAT
ADVANCE GUARD, THE POPULIST
PARTY, and some of the most urgent
ones are MORE AND MORE COM
MENDING THEMSELVES TO THE
REASON AND SYMPATHIES OF
MAN. Is it too much to expect, or is it
injudicious in me to express the hope
that Silver Democrats, Populits and
Silver Republicans may by
1900 be welded into one
strong and serviceable in
strument in the hands of Providence
for the political regeneration of the
country and the beginning of reform,
restoring the spirit of the constitution
and contributing to the advancement
and happiness of mankind?"
Now that is sensible! That is better
then trying to ignore us, as some of the
Democratic leaders have done.
THE POPULIST PARTY is THE
SOUL OF THE AGE THE BRAINS
OF THE GREAT MOVEMENT.
1t will draw all others to us like
mighty magnet.
The man who would advise it to cut
it's own throat ought to be crucified
head downward. There is no room in
the world for such an unmitigated ass.

A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY.
THE CRIME or f8733-TO BE OUT
...-- - DONE. -..-s-..,

"NEW YORK, June IA dispatch
from Washington says Secretary Gage
is preparing a financial measure to be
submitted to congress next winter. In
pursuance of this plan he has sent out
a letter to 200 leading bankers and
merchants, inviting suggestions for
placing the currency upon sound
basis. In outline the scheme will en-
brace the gradual retirement of the
greenbacks and the substitution of ma
tional bank notes, allowing national
banks to issue to the full limit,
instead of 80 per cent, as now; reducing
the tax on national bank circulation
from l per cent to one-fourth of 1 per
cent, and limiting the denominations
Of bank notes and all other paper
money to $40 and substituting silver
for all below $40. There will probably
be a provision for branch hanks, and
there is a suggestion that state and
municipal bonds may be used as basis
for not to exceed so per cent of the
note circulation. Secretary Gage has
in fact, already commenced ITO carry
out his scheme for retiring greenbacks,
as far as possible, under the present
law by locking up in the treasury
greenbacks and treasury notes. These
classes of notes have greatly increased
since March 4, and on June 1 there were
held in the treasury of both classes
about $50 900, 900"
Brethren, do you see what is before
you?
There is to- be no money in the United
States except what is borrowed over a
bank counter. The whole business of
the nation must pay tribute to these
sharks. AS LONG AS A, DOLLAR IS
OUT 1T IS TO BEAR INTEREST.
The crime is not to be consummated
until next winter. Why?
1t will take little time to buy up
the members 1t took three years to
fix" things for the decentralization OF
silver.
The more clearly the Republican
congressman perceive that their party
is hopelessly ruined the more eager they
will be to feather their own nests. 1t
will be every man for himself and the
devil take the hindmost."

little time to make their deals.
