must own and operate sufficient num-
Der of such lines to regulate and control
the whole traffic.
A graduated income tax must be i'm
posed and made sufficiently high to de-
stroy all trusts and dangerous combina-
lions of wealth.
A graduated land tax must be i'm
posed, sufficiently high to destroy all
large holdings.
AS a check on legislative villainy
proportional representation must be de-
manded, which, in conjunction with the
initiative and referendum will certainly
purify the political atmosphere of the
nation.
Are not these conservative PROPOSE
lions sufficient to incorporate in our
state and national platforms? Can we
not agree upon them?
1t may be said that there are many
other propositions worthy Of considera-
ton. Certainly there are, but those
named seem to me the most vital, and

quently securing what additional il. re-
forms demanded. j. V. Webster.

Long before Ward and Vokes forsook
the vaudevilles they were regarded as

step from vaudeville to starring hon

held by the policy Of having nothing

The Labor Exch

Editor Representative.
It is with pleasure l read in the Rep
resentative concerning the Labor Ex-
change Cooperation. l think if the peo-
pie understood the working of the La
Dor Exchanges they would commence to
form branches everywhere. BY so do
ing they would soon be able to take the
upper hand of the capitalist and mon
opoly. By using their own checks and
exchanging products they could get
along without the money of the money
mOngers. Therefore, brethren, every
one of you that understands the work
ing of the labor exchanges, write about
it and agitate among your neighbors
and get branches started everywhere ]
have been trying to start one here in
Alexandria, but have failed so far be-
cause the people have been humbugged
SO much that they are afraid to take
hold. But l will not give up before one
is started here or somewhere else, if !
live long enough. Cooperate, brethren
and be your own, then you will be sure
to get every cent there Is in your labor
and let us say in labor we trust of la
Dor we live Yours for the cause.

us to preserve In our generation. liberty
and justice for all coming generations"
I am glad to know that The Repre-
sentative is now in excellent condition
and that Its circulation and advertising
are both rapidly increasing"
Well done, good and faithful brother.
1t is gratifying to learn that the average
farmer is beginning to appreciate merit,
truth and indomitable energy
Go on with your good work. The end,
as you say. lis not yet No, indeed,
we have not yet reached the beginning
of the end. Consequently it is the duty
of every man to put his house in order
for we know not what a year may
bring forth.
Manifestly there must be a change
soon. The present financial strain can
not long endure. From nine to twelve
per cent per annum to pay for money
by the farmers. tradesmen and mechan-
les, when they, on an average, are not
realizing two per cent per annum on
their investments must soon end in
financial ruin to all the wealth produc-
ers of the nation.
Bankruptcy Of these classes will nee
essarily bring general regulations
With reputation will come chaos, and
the disintegration Of the nation
Shylock may hope to profit by this
result, but it will be the prosperity Of
the wolf that feeds upon the lambs
What can we do to ward off the great
er calamities foreshadowed in every
move of the money changers? What
shall We do in this emergency? 1t
seems to me there is only one hope left
u.s. Only one plan that can save the
nation from the red hand of anarchy.
That is, unity of action among all re-
form forces. This can be accomplished
only in one way. That is, to take mid
die ground between the two extremes.
Ignore for the present all minor issues.
Drop out OF sight everything but the
most vital questions involved. Lay
aside our hobbies and little antipathies.
Forget our clans and co-partnerships
In the face Of the universal ruin with
which the wealth producers of the ma
ton are certainly threatened.
Next year we shall have skirmish
OF the desperate battle to be fought two
years later. What can we agree upon
as platform of principle to guide us
in that contest? What planks shall we
adopt?
Money? Yes, we must have that
Gold and silver, 16 to 1, in conjunction
with legal tender notes issued by the
government and sufficient in quantity
to reduce the current rate of interest to
a point not above the average annual
increase in the value of property.

Thousands of Them Out West Good

The enterprise which was recently
set on foot to convert the million or
more wild bronchos and wild horses in
Idaho and Washington into horse meat
for the Paris market has fallen through
for several reasons. First, the North
ern Pacific railroad company reports
that the trunk lines and the steamship
lines refuse to make sufficiently low
rates for the animals on foot It was
the intention to transport the wild
horses to New York, where they would
be cut for the hides, bones. grease,
hCofs and other valuable parts Good
meat and the best of the horses would
be shipped to the continent. 1t was ex-
pected that a large factory would be
erected in New York for the purpose of
preparing the horses for canning A
representative of the enterprise was
sent to Paris several months ago to care
fully look into the market and to find
OuL Tie ucIuduu LOT anu CONSUMPTION OI
horse meat in the French capital The
representative returned few days ago,
and writes the Northern Pacific that he
did not find the market suitable to the
proposed enterprise. 1t has therefore
been abandoned.
"The abandonmnt of this project"
said General Freight Agent Moore, of
the Northern Pacific yesterday, "prac-
tically settles the fate of about half
million absolutely useless horses on the
table lands of Idaho and Washington.
They are doomed to stay there until
they die. They are absolutely useless
except for the value of their carcasses.
They are multiplying and no one now
takes the trouble of branding them or
claiming ownership. Many western
men say the horses are actually pests.
1t seems that the last hope of using
them is gone"

Joseph r. Dunlap, editor of the Chicago
Dispatch. the only daily paper in the city
that dares to champion the cause of the
people is now in the penitentlary for two
and a half years. In the last edition of his
paper before leaving for Joliet, last Satur-
day he bitterly arragns his enemies for
thus bounding him to his doom, but says:
No law can prevent me FROM through
trusted agents, carrying on the war

Tribune.
Nonsense Hear what the Chicago EX-
press (Pepulist) has to say on this ques-
ton:
There is feature of this case that
we shall give brief notice.
Mr.. Dunlop claims to have been the
victim of a deep. dark conspiracy on ac-
count of his political utilization with the
silver force.
The facts are that he was indicted, tried
and convicted long before he had ever
taken sides on the silver issue, and he
only aligned his paper with the silver
people after the Democratic committee put
up $1,000 to pay him for coming over.
I'VE don't think he should have been
sent to the pen but if there is crime
more than any other for which that
would be the only adequate punishment, it
is his claim that he is the victim of q
political conspiracy.
Mr.. DunlOp'S crime consisted largely of
making money by advertising the low, dis
reputable dens of vice in this city and
levying tribute from institutions and bus
mess concerns whose standing was ques-
tionable and who avoided publicity
