The Outlook of the Future for POpu-
liSm.

Editor Representative: The whirlwind Of
partisanship has passed over the country,
and we are just recovering from the strug-
gle. The votes are counted and we have
lost. The election of Lind is a Republican
victory, and we believe has given the death
blow TO fusion Nothing remains for the
future of true Populism but to organize and
educate. Drop the free silver plank and
take up the broader elements of socialism,
that will give strength to the cause of hu-
manity. AS we who have been identified
with the cause of POpulism since it's birth
view the question the main issues demand
ing solution are: First. the initiative and
referendum, and the imperative mandate.
Second, the issuance of a paper currency
by the general government without the in
PREVENTION Of banks or individuals. These
two planks are broad enough to build a
grand party on and in these we find the
solution Of all the vexing problems which
aff1ict mankind. Broaden your platform and
you broaden the field of attack; narrow the
platform and you narrow the vantage
ground of attack. With free silver tackled

Mrs. Marian Todd and Governor Waite
In the Representative of No. % is the fol-
lowing:
Editor Representative: In your last
issue, Davis H. Waite, referring to the Chi
cago platform of 1896, says: After adopt
ing in substance the financial plank of the
Omaha PLATFORM etc. 1 have been trying
to discern what part was adopted. The
Chicago platform declares in favor of a
coin basis. The Omaha platform repu-
dates coin basis. Both declared in favor
of free silver, but silver is non-fundamen-
tai. Time however, has great a diver
gence on this point, since one was evident
ly made to deceive and the other was not.
Would Mr.. Waite please inform us where
in any part of the substance Of the
Omaha money plank adopted by the
Democracy in 1896? The Cincinnati con-
ference may save the Populist party. If
not it is gone Sincerely,
MRS. MARION TODD.
"Springp6rt. Mich, Nov. q, 1885,"
How anybody who read my communica-
ton in the Representative of Nov. 16 could
imagine that l maintained that the Demo-
cratic platform of 1896 substantially adopted
the financial plank of the Omaha platform
is amazing. In the very article criticised
by Mrs. Todd is the following: "a fusion
of the Peoples Party completed with
the Democracy-a party which, in my judg
ment. is insincere in advocating the free
coinage of silver, or any other reform-and
even it's radical minority represented by
Bryan and Altgeld. after obtaining the SUI
premacy in the Democratic national con-
vention at Chicago in 1896, and through the
subcommittee on resolutions adopting in
substance the financial plank of the Omaha
platform. went back upon it, eliminated
every Peoples Parry idea it contained and
committed all supporters of the Democratic
platform to the intrinsic value of money and
the redemption of the greenback in coin"

enemies, but 1 dislike to be misunderstood
by friends.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec 5, 1898.
Special invitations are being prepared to
send to prominent farmers from all parts
OF the state. Any of our members can have
as many of those invitations as they desire
to send to their farmer friends, or will
mail them from this office to a list of names
and their postoffice address on receipt of
the postage necessary for sending same.
Invitations are also being sent to all the
presidents of the farmers elevators and
cooperative creameries of the state, and an
effort is being made to have these officers
become the president or secretary of the
local alliance, and have the active co-opera-
ton of the alliance in educating the farmers
to patronize their own cooperative enter
prises, and by this system build up both
the alliance and the elevators and cream
cries as is done in other states.
We hope to have nearly $50 representatives
of farmers elevators present; while from
nearly 700 creameries we should have a large
delegation. Now, farmers, be sure to come
yourselves and bring as many of your neigh
bors and friends as you can, and you will
find this meeting both instructive, profit
able and enjoyable. Come one and all.
Yours,

"NO DIFFERENCE WHAT BANNER WE
MARCH UNDER"

Possibly the voters Of Minnesota have
not elected Democratic governor, but
they have elected a governor who will
hereafter affiliate with the Democratic
party-the metropolitan press of the state
to the contrary notwithstanding. Two
years hence, if Mr.. Donnelly wants to
hold a mid-road convention to assist his
Republican allies he can label it what he
chooses. There will be no Silver Republic
can convention either, but those men who
went out of the Republican party in this
state two years ago will be. with Mr.. Lind,
members of the new Democracy. The 6. Q.
p. will meet a solid front next trip, march
ing under the banner of DemOcracy.-St.

MIR. CASSON'S OPINION.

When a raft of logs is being foated down
river, there is often what is called a
jam Several of the front logs become
entangled, and thus block the whole raft
This is what has happened to our American
raft. Our whole country with its boundless
resources and energetic. free-spirited people
is held back and stagnated and starved by
the stubborn greed Of few money kings
in New York.
All the fires, cyclones, shipwrecks and
disasters of the last five years are but
fraction of the loss we have sustained
through business stagnaton. If business
were good. we could afford to burn a city
once month and still prosper, compared
to the present deadlock.
