THAT the workingman OF the east are
recovering from the enthusiasm OF the
late Mckinley and prosperity campaign
is becoming painfully evident. Last
Friday. at Wilmeriing. Pa, six hundred
workmen joined in tearing down and
trampling upon the picture OF the presi-
dent Of the United States, where
four hundred employees Of the Westing-
house Air Brake Company had received
notice Of discharge. Lack OF work" was
the reason assigned. In the fitting room
OF the nsnnfactory we're pictures Of Nc
KinIey. Ono likeness was on banner
signifying Prosperity" The ~o1kmen.
furious at their discharge. rushed to the
room. Following them were 200 others.
The leaders tore down large print Of
the president and tossed the pieces to
the crowd. Then banner representing
Mckinley as the advance agent Of
prosperity was seized by many hands
and its fragments trampled upon. The
walls Of tho room. were covered
with insignia Of the last republican
campaign. The visitors loft there not q
scrap signifying McKinleyism. When
the walls were bare the crowd left the
building shouting, bryan was the real
thing. We made mistake. McKinley's
prosperity be damned" The men dis
missed were all expert managers. They
had, every one. taken part in q parade
at Canton. Ohio, in the last presidential
campaign, and had bought uniforms for
1t. Returning to their homes, the mon
collected their republican regalia and
made boufires Of It. Tho suspension
followed q 25 per cent reduction in
wages.

point and be present. We should show
to the representatives of other coun-
tries that Minnesota was not behind
other agricultural countries.
We have also secured Friday, Sept
10, and named it Farmers Alliance
day. This day has been practically put
into our hands by the State Fair mana
gers, and we are now preparing spec
ial program and attraction for the ben
eft of our farmers. We have secured
the services of Hon. Bill Erwin, who
will deliver an address upon the AL
lance at the fair grounds on that day
There will be special races, log rolling
contests, balloon ascensions, etc. This
day promises to be the most success
full day Of the fair. We would there
fore urge every farmer to attend who
possibly can.
We will maintain a headquarters both
at our office in the city, which will be
open to our farmer friends, and a
bureau of information established for
their convenience. We will also try
and secure large circus tent and use
same as headquarters for our Alliance
members on the fair grounds.

NOTES..

Remember that the Minnesota State
FAR at Hamline, midway between the
Twin Cities, begins Sept. 9Th and con-
tinues until Sept. 11th 1t will be the
best ever seen in the Northwest.
The racing purses offered by the State
Fair aggregate $500. Some of the
fastest and most noted horses in the
country will contest for these purses.
NO pools-no jockeying. Every horse
will go for all it is worth.
There will be splendid music ON the
State Fair grounds all the week of the
great exhibit
What you miss this year you cannot
have next. 1t will have vanished for
ever. You cannot afford to let the Min
nesota State Fair for 1897 vanish with
out seeing it. It will be too good to be
lost.
Happy Jack, the horse that PAGES in
200 without rider or driver or sulky,
will give an exhibition on the State Fair
ground track, every day of the races.
The poultry exhibit at the State Fair
in September will surpass anything in
that line ever seen in the Northwest.
The poultry fanciers will be growing the
whole week.
The Montgomery, Ward & Co. horse
less carriage and Happy Jack, the car
riageless horse, are duo that will hold

In the convention, and containing the
addresses of Temporary Chairman

say that this will be the best campaign

the haze with which modern Democracy
has surrounded the reform movement
and places our contentious once
more squarely before the peo-
pie. We are asking for ad-
vance orders, so that we may know
how many to issue. Go among your

GRAIN MARK ETS.

Markets for the week ending August 30,
reported by he Chas. f.. Lewis Co.:
Wheat: Has been fairly steady during
the week at a little lower range of prices
owing to the late Liverpool cables being
lower in sympathy with our decline On
liquidation by the bull pool. This pool has
unloaded nearly all their large lines OF
wheat, corn and oats, and with this large
amount of long stuff out of the way the
market ought to do better. The visible
decreased over 100000 bushels, and the
shipments of wheat and -four from the
seabOard today is the largest on record,
1.127, 900 bushels. Under the circumstances
we strongly advise purchases of wheat on
this break.
Oats are a little more active. but there
Is not much satisfaction in trading in this
grain, the profits must be small on account
of the light trade and narrowness of the
market.
Pork continues pretty strong in the face
of hammering by the bears and the liqui-
dalton of large lines of long stuff. Re-
ceipts of hogs are daily growing less and
the demand for the packed hog is good.
We can see nothing in the situation but
higher prices and advise purchasers of De-
cember or January pork now.

Benson, Mimi, Aug. 26.
Editor Representative:
Seeing your call in the REPRESENT
TATIVE for contributions to the build
Ing OF home for the gallant friend Of
the common people, Mrs. Lease, l take
the opportunity to enclose 1Oc for that
purpose.
l have interviewed quite a number of
the county Populists on the question Of
fusion and from what l can see two
thirds of them are straight in the mid
die of the road. Mr.. Strand, the chair
man of the county committee, is a
"roader'' himself, and so are a majority
of the committee.
The only thing we lack is a county
paper. With county paper we could
defend ourselves against the intrigues
of the two old parties We lost ground
in the last election on account of fusion.
and l can hereby notify fusionists every
where that the Swift county Pops will
never again vote a fusion ticket. either
locally or nationally, and further that
If they beat us in the county convention
by packing the convention with Demo-
Gratis, we will organize a middle of the
road Pop-Social Democracy, or a Social
list party, just as the situation at that
time may demand. The main reform
element still has confidence in the Peo-
pies party, and If properly reorganized
it may yet have large influence in
state politics.
The action of the patriots in Ohio has
greatly strengthened us in general. Let
the Pops of Minnesota and the whole
Union do the same and avoid fusion and
confusion. Let us march forward with
a determination to labor for our coun-
try's welfare and for the salvation OF
ourselves and our posterity from the
yoke of plutccracy. With hearty wish
for the success of the United Mine Work
ers in their struggle for better wages
remain, MARTIN E. JOHNSON,
Secretary Swift County Populist County
