Good Advice.

I honestly feel you cannot emphasize
the necessity of maintaining the Peo-
pies party intact upon aggressive mid
die of the road lines, and urge all low
ers of liberty and honest government to
be untiring in their efforts to educate
the people. No good can come to the
people by the success of a Democratic
free silver combination, with the pie
hunting" gold bug element who Joined
the Republicans last fall to help elect
Mckinley and the gold standard, while
now they claim they cannot stand the
present tariff legislation. With such an
element supporting party no good can
come to the people by their success,
even with Bryan or saint at the
head of the ticket. If Bryan is as good
reformer as he should be to be equal
to the demands of the people it is high

of self government

The Business Mans Age.
Editor REPRESENTATIVE

Editor Representative.
The business men are again petition
ing congress for legislation on the finan-
cial question or policy: Can you give
an idea of the substance of their de-
mands at this time? For rs years it has
been the boast of this class that this is
business mans age" In this age, in
which they have been the masters in the
control of legislation-as the London
conspirators. the New York capitalists,
the national bankers and the business
men, are all of one and the same class,
their prescribed legislation has cut down
the aggregate national wealth one-third
In the past few years, and robbed pro-
ductive industry of at least $40, 900 OC0,-
600 of the wealth it has produced and
should now own. Their policy has also
reduced the value of farms fully one
half, and will continue the reducing pro-
cess till farm lands will not be worth
the taxes levied on them. It has also
made it impossible for from three to
four million laboring men to secure The
labor necessary to maintain their exist
ence. and increased the ratio of vice
and crime three and four fold, and
made restitution, privation, want and
sorrow the ruling condition in millions
OF homes, and changed the conditions
OF the country from prosperity and hap
piness to f1rst-class hell All this and
much more of untold evil is the absolute
result of the damnable legislation which
has been formerly proposed in the petit
lions of this business mems clique. AS
this same class by fraud, intimidation
and coercion in the last campaign, Sc
cured the election of congress whose
disposition for treason will only be Gov
erned by the amount of pay they will
| receive for their influence, and will be
ever ready to sell their country to the
highest bidder, it becomes important

Editor Representative
l would like to ask the readers of the
Representative few questions. First,
Why are we poor? Second, Why are
others so very rich? Third. Can we all
be millionaires? Fourth, Can wealth
be produced without labor? Fifth, If 1
pay you one dollar for working for me
one day, and in that day you make
something for me that is worth two dol
lars. who has produced the two dollars?
Sixth. If l sent you out to do a JOB of
work for somebody and the work was
worth two dollars, why should I get
one of those dollars when I have done
no work? Seventh, Will a bushe1 of
wheat sustain life as long when it is
worth forty cents as it will when it is
worth one dollar? Eighth, If I start a
factory and employ men enough to do
the work in it, and at the expiration of
ten years I find myself worth one mil
lion dollars, would l have made it my
self? Ninth, If the government had
built the Great Northern railroad, where
would Jim Hills wealth be? Tenth,
Did God when he made man, intend a
few to live in luxury and millions to
starve? I would like to hear from some
preacher of the gospel on this last ques-
ton and if he thinks God intended
every man to have a share of this
worlds goods, it is his duty to try and
please God by having it so, for our
heavenly Father will not be pleased if
things are not the way He intended
they should be. Yours for truth,

The Situation

Editor Representative.
Every honest, conscientious citizen
must feel a deep concern in the welfare
of his country, especially when immi-
nent dangers of revolution menace our
government. Plutocracy rules, the ana
conda is Tightening his grip year by
year. Ships of war and army forces are
increasing without any indication of
trouble with foreign nations They must
be meant for us; they can be meant for
no other
Were it not so serious it would be
amusing to see the byplays enacted to
divert the attention of the people from
the Infamous schemes being carried out
to rob and enslave the people. The tar
1T is most conspicuous just now. But
what surprises my understanding is the
fact that the people-so many of them
can be persuaded that a tax that In
creases the price on manufactured ar
ticles and reduces the price on raw ma
terials-the staple productions-can be
Of any advantage to such producers, or
to wage-earners. 1t must be from the
fact that political economy is sealed
book to the masses of the people.
We boast of our public schools-the
only means Of education open to the
great body of the peopfe,-but in the
| curriculum there is not line, not a sin
gle word that gives the color of an idea
ho al
of citizenship. Is it any wonder that
| INSCRIPTIONS and designing men who
/! understand exactly how to take advan-
| tage of them should improve their OPP
portunities?
Politics is the science of government.
Those who do not understand this
| science are incapable of conducting the
! affairs Of government. In ours, the
power is committed to the people, but
| not knowing how to use it themselves,
it is employed by selfish and ambitious
| men for their own aggrandizement It
is weapon turned against them, to
subjugate them.
If it were state of ignorance, it
would not be so bad, for they might
learn, but their minds are already pre-
! occupied with prejudices and errors that
preclude the possibility of acquiring
truth until these have been removed:
| and their rulers will see to it that they
| are not removed so long as they can
control the press and influence public
opinion.
How are the dire calamities now i'm
pending to be met? That depends upon
the people themselves. Bryan will
probably be the Democratic nominee for
president in 1900. If that party would
take three words from the money plank
of their platform, redeemed in COIN"
and Mr.. Bryan would enter into the con-
test so bravely and ably as in the cam
paign of 1896, there would be hope. The
failure of Republican promises, and the
failure of Democratic promises, which is
inevitable on a metallic basis, should
that party succeed in 1900, will open
way for the Populist party in 1904, if
the people can be patient so long, and
