GOLD AND SILVER BEETLES.

The most remarkable gold beetles in the
world are found in Central America The
head and wing cases are brilliantly polished
with luster as of gold itself. To sight and
touch they have all the seeming Of metal.
Oddly enough. another species from the
same region has the appearance Of being
wrought in solid silver, freshly FURNISHED.
These gold andesilver beetles have market
value. They are worth from SIS to $50.
We are glad to learn that nature has
provided these gold and silver beetles.
If the supply of gold (silver being de-
monetized), should, from any cause. be
tremendously increased in quantity and
correspondingly decreased in value, the
financiers of the world could fall back on
the gold beetles.
The currency Of the world must have
an intrinsic value; of course it must,
and as soon as these beetles were adopt
ed as the basis of the finances Of the
world, they would rise in value from $25
to $50 each, to $500 or 1000 each. Then
we would haye gold-beetle contracts in
Minnesota, and our daily papers would
tell the farmers that there was no real
value in the world except these shiny
Central American bugs! And the fools
would believe it and vote to keep the
yoke on their own necks. I'D.

The LabOrer's Child.
Will, CARLETON

WILL CARLETON.
Yes, It's straight and true, good preacher,
every word that you have said:
Do not think these tears unmanly-they re
the first ones I had shed!
But they kind O. beat and pounded 'gainst
my aching heart and brain,
And they would not leave me quiet and
they gave me extra pain.
I am just a laboring man. sir-work for
food and rags and Sleep
And 1 hardly know the meaning of the life
I slave to keep;
But I know when times are CHEEKY, or my
heart is made of lead;
I know sorrow when 1 see it, and-I know
my girl Is dead!
Yes. It's solid, Mr.. Preacher, every word
that you have said
God loves children while they're living and
adopts them when they're dead;
But cannot help contriving, do the very
best cam.
That it wasn't God who took her. but the
selfshness Of man!
Why. she lay there faint and gasping.
moaning for bit of air,
Choked and strangled by the foul breath
Of the chimneys over there;
It climbed through every window and crept
under every door,
And I tried to bar against it, but she only
chOked the more.
She would lie there with the old look that
poor children somehow get;
She had learned to use her patience, and
she did not cry or fret.
But would lift her little face up so piteous
and so fair.
And would whisper. II am dying for a
little breath of ARR
IF she'd gone or throrph +ba er,1,rL+
'twoudn't seem so hard to me,
Or among the fresh cool breezes that come
sweeping from the sea;
But it's nothing less than murder when
my darlings every breath
Chokes and strangles with the poison from
that chimney-swamp Of death!-
Oh, It's not enough those people own the
very ground we tread.
And the shelter that we crouch in, and
the tools that earn our bread:
They must place their blotted mortgage on
the air and on the sky,
And shut out our little heaven till our
children pine and die!
Yes, the air is pure and wholesome where
some babies COO and rest,
And they trim them out with ribbons and
feed them on the best,
But the love they bear is mockery to the
gracious God on high,
If to give those children luxuries someone
else's child must die!
We must wear the cheapest clothing. and
our meals are scant and brief.
And, perhaps those fellows fancy there's a
cheaper grade of grief;
But the people all around them, losing
children, friends and mates,
Can inform them that affection hasn't any
under rates.
I'm no grumbler at the methods of this
free and happy land"
And I don't go round explaining things 1
do not understand;
But I know there's something treacherous
in the workings Of the law,
When we get dose Of poison out of every
breath we draw!

TRIALS OF OUR PRESS.

Populists everywhere will be pleased
to learn that both the Peoples Party
Paper" Of Atlanta, Ca, and the South
ern Mercury" of Dallas, Tex, are in the
field of Popnlist journalism for bust
ness. 1.-THE Peoples Party Paper" some
weeks ago was forced temporarily to
suspend. The plant, which was a valu-
able one. was sold at auction. and was
purchased by Mr.. Austin Holcomb, its
former editor, who will in January re-
sumo publication. Populists of Georgia
should every one of them rally to the
support Of that paper, subscribe for it
power for the cause in the whole South,
and one of the nations best.
We are happy to chronicle also the
fact that Milton Park has again resumed
control of the Southern Mercury, of Dali
las. Tex. 1t may seem unnecessary to add
that in the future the Mercury will be
run as Populist paper, without fusion
or Democratic trimmings, and Populists
of Texas will rally to it's support. The
hope of our cause and the life of our
party rests with comparatively small
number of leading and able Populist pa
pers, among which are these Georgia
and Texas sheets
The Representative clubs with them
both. They give Northern Populists
broader and more comprehensive views
of national Populism. Send in your sub
scriptions. E. A. T.

A BAD EGG,

The mid-roaders have been pushed into
the side bitches and will there sink into
the mud and be seen no mere. 1t is sad
end for Donnelly in his old age.-Moorhead
News.
And this from the man who left the Re-
publican party and espoused the cause of
Populism from principles? Does this mean
that all Populfsts who adhere strictly to the
principles Of their party are to be pushed
into the bitches and permitted to sink into
the mud?-The Detroit Record
Well said
This man Lamphere had hardly
landed in the Peoples Party before he
began to clamor for the nomination for
congress in the Seventh district. Find
ing this unattainable he demanded to be
sent to the legislature. He was like the
office seeker who called upon President
Jackson and wanted a position in the
cabinet, and asked for one thing after
another. until finally he requested the
president to give him a suit of his old
clothes.
Lamphere spells "reform"-A fat
berth. He'll get down to the old
clothes yet. I'D.

WELL PUT.

One Of the best men in this state Is
M. P. Moran. of Graceville. Keen. bold.
penetrating, persistent and always relia-
BILE. He wrote the other day to L. c.
Longs Initiator a letter, from which we
clip some extracts.
Although an Irishman himself, he has
great admiration for the Scandinavian
race
John Lind is no better or worse than the
average man, nor, indeed, is he as good as
the average statesman of his own nation
ality. No country can point with pride to
such heroes as the Scandinavians, dear old
Ireland excepted. Look at the heroic
actions of Erick Johanson at the Clips Holm
castle. When the ak was raised over his
head he was offered pardon. but he refused
saying: MY comrades were honorable
gentlemen, and in Gods name I will die
with them" Look at the heroism of his son
Gustavus, hunted like a wolf with a price
on his head, and alone, trying to raise an
army to avenge his fathers death, and free
his country from bondage, and with per-
severance he succeeded. Look at what their
Svenson did at Brunbach's Ferry with a
handful of half starved peasants. He drove
5000 we'll fed soldiers into the river.
Thousands of like heroic instances could
be related Of the brave Scandinavian people,
but space will not permit us to name them,
and yet with the history of his brave and
hberty-loving countrymen staring him in the
face, the doctor throws up the sponge in
despair and tells us to wait for another
generation to spring up that will appreciate
free institutions. Oh, Lord, deliver US from
the influence of such statesmen!
Did Washington throw down his arms
when Arnold betrayed him, and with his
army dwindled down to $500 men, with u, 900
savage Indians let loose on him, and taking
from his people $1,000 scalps to send across
the ocean to the government Of Great
Britain, to prove the destruction and havoc
their allies, the Indians, were playing with
the struggling patriots? If Washington was
so faint-hearted. the land Of the free and
the home Of the brave" would still be a
colony Of Great Britain.
1t is true that we need reform, and in
the words Of Luniner: my country, right
or wrong; but if wrong make her right"
The doctor would have build a new
party and give up the Peoples party which
brought forth the Omaha platform. Oh
no, doctor, the Peoples party is good
enough for all those who love their country
better than office.
What do we want a new party for? I pre-
sumo to fuse again, in order to give few
offices to hungry politicians who are too
lazy to work.
Populist brothers, you know who are true
Populists and who are Populists in name
only. Rally around the flag and work as
true soldiers of liberty should work, and the
rank and file Of both parties will flock In
their thousands to the banner of freedom
and in 1900 the state and nation will be ours.

MORE ILLIBERALITY.

The Fusion Legislators Must Put
Senator.
Napoleon said of the Bourbons, after
their return to power, that "they had
learned nothing and had forgotten moth
ing
The instincts of the American people
have long applied to the Democracy the
title, "the Bourbons."
Read this from leading editorial in
the Democratic organ of Minnesota, the
st. Paul Globe:
Of no less consequence, in way, is that
other complimentary nomination, the Unit
ed States senatorsh1p. The Republican party
will take care of Cushman X. Davis very
comfortably. Their political opponents must
select one Of their own best representatives.
to receive the votes of the minority. Much
loose talk has been INDUCED as to this Sc
lection If it is true that men are known
by the company they keep, it IS equally
ture that parties are judged by the men
they send to the front. Whoever receives the
compliment must be a representative man
In the best sense of the term He must be-,
and he must have been first, last and all
the time a Democrat. The members Of
party which has travelled 40 years in the
wilderness, and through no folies OF its
own, will insist upon this The nominee
may be Duluth man, or Minneapolis
man, or a st. Paul man, or a man from the
interior of the state-he must be Demo-
crat.
This is enough t0zcreate laugh I'M
der the ribs of death" a-
Here is party, $4,000 at least in the
minority, splitting in the face of it's ally,
over mere complimentary vote, to be
given in legislature WHERE THEY
ARE SIXTY IN THE MINORITY!
II such things are possible in the green
wood, what may we expect in the dry?
If Democracy can be so intolerant, so
selfish, so grasping, while it's nose mere
ly smells the dim fragrance of success,
a thousand miles distant, what would
they do to Populists If they really owned
and controlled the state?
Before Peoples party man could be
appointed dog catcher he would have to
forswear his party, and deny that he
ever opposed slavery, or voted against
Jimmy Buchanan or Grover Cleveland.
In fact, he would have to swallow him
self
We hope every Populist in the legisla-
ture will understand what this slap in
the face means, and will refuse to 20
into a caucus with the Democrats where
such insolence and intolerance prevail.
Hold Peoples party caucus and put
up your own men. I'D.

In 1900. What q funny state of things,
when you come to think of it. it is that
big crops will cause the people to be-
come discontented! Yet it Is true under
the present system of production for
profit instead Of use, that the more one
produces the worse they are of. Any
great holocaust that destroys property is
really benefit to the masses for it fur
.nishes them with opportunity of work
in rebuilding! But any party in power
with the spoils of Office at their disposal,
would prefer the country would receive
a visit from famine II it would continue
them in power. I wonder what the
people Of Mars or some other planet
would think of the mental condition Of
the earth people If they could see how
they conduct things.-Appeal to Reason.

REMEMBER!

Remember that the meeting Of the
state central committee of the Peoples
Party will be held at 4O0-4O1 Baltimore
Building, corner Of Seventh and Jack
son, st. Paul, on January 3, 1899, at
10 o'clock a. m. This was the time fixed
by the state central committee itself,
and the call is signed by Hon. P. H.
Rahilly, chairman. and DR.. H. B. Fay,
secretary of the committee.
The meeting will be important, and
all members should attend. There is
general movement going on all over
the state to reorganize the party and put
it on it's feet.
The F. A. and l. U. will meet about
the same time. and we understand rail-
road fares will be reduced one-half.
Begin the new year with an energetic
battle for the right. I. D.

SYMPATHY.

The Albert Lea Standard says there Is no
use wasting sympathy on Donnelly; he Is
just as wicked as he ever was. Who. has
been f1inging any sympathy in DOnnelly' 8
direction? By acting on the late P. T. Bac-
mum celebrated tip, MI. Donnelly is thriv-
ing nicely and always will.-NIinneapolis
Times.
BY wicked" the Albert Lea Standard
means that Donnelly stands just as firm
ly as ever by the Peoples party, and re-
fuses to desert it for the hope of plumber.
And the Standard chap is proud that
HE is not built that wayt Judas and he
will have a great time shaking hands,
when he crosses the dark line and tum-
bles into that warm abode where all
traitors go.
Sympathy! Why should we ask for
sympathy?
What office has John Lind got that we
would accept?
Can even the Standard imagine us en-
gagged in that tremendous scramble for
some little appointment with Owen,
Bowler, Dobbyn, Stacy and the rest, with
our mouth buttered over with compli-
ments for John Lind, and our heart boil
ing full of wrath. suspicion, jealousy,
anxiety. and that hope deferred which
maketh the soul sick? -
Sympathy" indeed! We are part of
a great party whichsMe Have never de-
serted nor betrayed. We have kept the
faith; we have fought the good fight!
We stand in 1898 i$t where we stood in
1891 and 1892 and 1894; and there will
we stand to the end, whether that end be
victory or death.
And even here in Minnesota our case
is not SO bad.
No power could have prevented the
Scandinavians from voting for their
cOuntrymen. But this is the Alpha and
Omega of that business. Beyond that
point we smashed every one of the Flu
sionists that stuck his head up out of
the mud.
THE REAL POPULISTS HOLD THE
BALANCE OF POWER TO-DAY IN THIS
STATE, AND AS THEY GO IN 1900 so
WILL THE STATE GO!
Isn't that glory enough?
Let Mr.. Rosing and his Democratic
machine buck against that fact. Let
them put that in their pipe and smoke it.
'The Peoples party was born to live,
and by the grace of God it shall not die, -
and there is not pie enough in the gift
of John Lind to choke it to DEATH
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1898-12-21

can now recall, that was ever active In
behalf of the Alliance. They were DEM
ocrats. Republicans. or village politi-
clans. Owen was an edisor, Bowler a
money lender, Ringdal a stone cutter,
Stacy a printer, Austin an auctfoneer,
and SO on throughout the list. They did
not have the honest love of Reform that
dwelt in the hearts of such members of
the Alliance as Meighen, Poore, Long,
etc.
Revive the Alliance! It will strengthen
the backbone of the real Peoples Party.
The fight has Just begun. l. D.

A PROPOSAL.

In another column we print letter
from Mr.. Hamlin " Poore, of Bird Is
land in which he proposes that the
members of the state central committee
appointed by the 18th of June conven-
ton, be communicated with to ascertain
how many of them are still in favor Of
fusion.
We willingly print Mr. Poore"s pro-
position, but The Representative would
not like to undertake the task of getting
answers to such an inquiry. 1t might be
we'll for Mr.. Poore to attempt it.
We hear that many fusionists are now
sick of the results reached in the late
election. They say the personal tri-
umph of Mr.. Lind, as a non-partisan, Is
no equivalent for the disruption of the
Peoples Party.
Go ahead, Brother Poore, and find out
just how these committeeman stand as
to the future, and report through The
Representative. Id.

WITH A SHARP STICK.

L. G.. Long, recently our candidate for
governor, is full of vim and vengeance,
and "gets back" at the editor of the Mo-
bles County Democrat, in his last issue,
in lively fashion.
He says:
The fact is that the idea of new party
was first advocated by F. U. Adams, editor
of The New Time, who is a Democrat and
acknowledged to be one OF the most pow
erful writer's on economic questions In the
world today. Just after the defeat Of Bry-
an two years ago, he sent out letters to
hundreds of the leading Democrats and
Populists who supported Bryan asking
them to give their views. In regard to the
formation of new party. and he published
the replies in his magazine Nearly all Of
the Populists stated that they were will
ling to abandon the Peoples party name
If it was likely to contribute to the cause
of reform-but most of the Democrats
were like Mr.. Rosns, the chairman of tho
Democratic state committee, (whO we I'M
derstand is to have one of the best offices
under Governor Lind) he wrote that the
Democratic party is good enough for me-
and everything seems to be coming our
way" And that seems to be the height of
the ambition Of that stamp Of Democratic
politicians, everything is lovely if they can
see post office or something Of that kind
in sight.
We claim, and can prove that we have
been perfectly consistent in our political
warfare When we were a Republican, we
advocated free silver coinage, greenbacks
versus bonds, and, government ownership
of all railroads on which the government
held mortgages. We proved our honesty
and consistency In opposing fusion when
we refused the endorsement of the Demo-
Gratis in 1884, which endorsement was Of
fered on proy1so shat We abandon some Of
the Peoples party principles.
Fusion is wrong because the new party
is sure to be swallowed by the old party
and thereby lose its identity. 1t is wrong
to convert two million men to new princi-
Piles of government which are based upon
the true, practical doctrines of Christianity
and the Declaration of Independence:

Shoe Company Fails.

BOSTON, Dec 10.-The New England
Shoe and Leather association today an
nounced the assignment of the Nudge Shoe
company, with headquarters in this city
and factory at Newburyport and East
Rochester, N. H. The company has done a
large business and employed a large num-
Der of hands. The liabilities are estimated
at $125, 900. The capital of the company was
$12500O. It's last annual report showed as
sets of $751; 98 and liabilities, including cap
ital, of 1926, 322
There is an astonishing contrast be-
tween the daily papers and the facts.
The recluse, who knew nothing of what

press, would conclude that we were wal
lowing in the widest excuses OF pros

terviews his fellow men. and reads the
items, like the above, which appear in
the corners of the daily papers. would
arrive at exactly opposite conclusions.
