EDITORS TROUBLES.

The Representative is this week again
compelled to go to its patrons four-page
paper. The Tribune is not yet sufficiently
recovered from the late fire to do our
press work. Last week and this week the
Journal very kindly consented to do our
press work, but their presses have been
kept busy doing the press work for the
three dailies, the Tribune, the Times and
the Journal and we felt that it was ask
ing enough to ask them to print our four
pages. We hope next week that the
Tribune will have their new machines and
presses running and be able to publish
for us as usual six-page paper. The
report OF yesterdays meeting in St. Paul
and numerous letters in this issue and
some other matters will be OF unusual
interest to our readers and we hope to
keep them still good natured. E. A. T.

All reformers know the value Of re-
form papers in our cause.
The great educational campaign and
reform work of the future rests largely
upon the widest distribution of our lead

Money spent for brass bands, torch
light professions and free railroad ex-
cursions may bring temporary gains.
Money spent for reform papers sent
into the homes OF the masses does re-
form work that is permanent
We will send to one address, or to
different addresses, as desired, for one

THE STORY OF FRANCE.

We are indebted to the Macmillan Co.,
of New York and London, Publishers,
for presentation volume of Hon. Thos.
E. Watson's great work, The Story Of
France" 1t is book of 7I2 pages, put
forth in the highest style OF the printer S
art.
1t is altogether a wonderful and most
striking work, the result OF immense re-
search and industry, told in a most
graphic and striking manner. The in
cident of the history OF France became.
under Mr. Watson's hands, as interesting
and vivacious as romance. Kings,
queens, Adventures, philosophers. poets,
villains and philanthropists pass in a
grand panorama before the minds eye.
We are especially proud OF this great
and noble work because it comes from
one of the leaders OF the Reform Party
of the United States. 1t is in some sense
a justification of our beliefs. We are
proud OF Mr.. Watson. Great as is the
pursuit of literature, we are sorry that a
man OF such ability is not at the head Of
affairs in this mis-governed and afflicted
country. He has, however, perhaps
chosen wisely, for his great book will be
remembered when it will be difficult for
any one save the antiquarian to give the
names OF the senators and congressman
OF this present era.
We would urge all who desire to make
a splendid addition to their library to send
ST. 50 to Macmillan & Co. and secure a
copy of the Ist volume of the "Story Of
France. the end volume will appear
later. I'D.

L
his wheat for the labor Of the other farm
er, who raised the sheep and sheared the
wool; and the labor OF artisans who wove
it into cloth and sewed it into clothing.
There is here no robbery 1t is simply
swapping OF labor for labor; and that
lies at the base of all civilized society. The
Omaha platform has not one word to say
against any such exchange of commodi-
ties.
What is meant is that when the farmer
or the artisan brings one dollars worth
OF his labor to the merchant or the manu-
facturer he shall receive one dollar of
something he needs in return. Ii he gets
only fifty cents or seventy-fve cents it is
robbery"
When the price of two different pro-
ducts OF labor is determined in open mar
ket, without fraud or collision, neither
party has right to complain: the great
law OF supply and demand is left free to
NIX prices. But when manufacturers. for
instance, secure laws from the common
government, maintained by all, which en-
ables them to force the farmers to give
dollar and half of their product for
dollar OF the manufacturers product,
that likewise is robbery"
And when, by law, the right to create
money is delegated to corporations or in
dividuals, and the rest of the people are
compelled to pay rate of interest that
bankrupts industry; that also is rob
berry"
And when trusts are formed to put up
the prices OF those things the people must
buy, that is also egregious "robebry;" for
they take the fruit of the citizens labor
without giving him full equivalent.
And our friend is, we think, in error in
IT he earns lot of money, or gets it
another respect
by any lucky turn Of the wheel of fortune,
he has right to spend it in riotous liv-
ing, if he SO chooses. Or he has right
to deny himself all personal qualifications,
and save his cash and build house with
1t; and rent it to some person, poorer
than himself; and if that man moves in,
and shelters himself from rain and snow.
and the summers heat and the winters
cold, he certainly has received an equiv
alent for the dollars he pays Tor rent.
Our friend asks us how we are going
to prevent the robbery of industry-how
the laborer shall have a dollar for every
dollar he parts with?
1t is an imemnse undertakings work
that will require centuries Of effort to ac-
complish.
The first step is the establishment and
success OF great party devoted to that
task, just as the Republican party was de-
voted to the overthrow of chattle slavery.
1t is no child's play to fight the formid-
able powers that are interested in the per-
petuity OF evil. Christianity has been bat
thing against them for 1900 years, and has
not yet obtained possession OF one-half
the human family But who will say that
Christ should not have visited the earth,
or that the blood of the saints and mar
tyrs has been shed in vain?
Each generation must do its duty and
leave the results in the hands Of that
divine Power which sees all things and
controls all things. l. D.

joke. 1t has been broadly stated that
some members of the legislature even
went outside of the state in their anxiety
to look after the interests OF their friends.
This dangerous condition may be elimi-
mated in the future by the passage Of the
measure calling for election OF clerks by
vote of both houses.
In reviewing the session the leading re-
greet is the servile regard OF certain men,
bers OF both bodies for corporate inter
ests. This fact disposed of several meas
u-es conceived by desire to benefit the
people, and which would undoubtedly
have contributed thousands OF dollars to
the state treasury.
The session was not marked by any
radical legislation 1t was confined al
most wholly to amendments of present
laws Some, it is true, represented de-
parture from existing conditions They
were executed by Difference to a popular
sentiment which dared not be ignored.
But measures vitality affecting the pockets
OF the taxpayers OF the state were turned
down.
One of the lasting disgraces OF the re-
cent session was the defeat of Senator
lwitchelfs bill calling for more equita-
BILE adjustment of taxation on telegraph,
telephone, express, sleeping and dining
car companies. 1t was laborcd on for
weeks by Attorney General Cowan and
Senator Twitchell. The argument of its
unconstitutionality found no favor with
the encouragement. He has waged a
consistent war against the railroad and
corporate companies Of the state in the
hope OF just assessments. The state ma
chine has fought him. But the people re-
turned him third time last fall in spite
of the combinations against him. He is
familiar with railroad legislation, and
Iwltchell is the uncompromising foe of
corporate greed
The power of patronage, the influence
OF newspapers, and the hoop -doodle-do
OF war with half civilized nations or
beggarly savages, may obscure the truth
and delay reform, but the end must surely
come at last
Everything points to a great political
revolution in 1900 If we are not mis-
taken the Democratic party will be torn
to pieces and perfect stampede follow
to the Peoples Party. Id.

THE SCHEME EXPOSED


Again that image of gold is set up by

Truly the music has begun, and the fall
ing down has commenced The furnace
is being heated for the reform forces. No
vember 1900 will see the furnace seven
times hotter than it is wont to be heated.
True reformers ignored the old political
ofhceseekers at the Cincinnati convention,
Sept. 5, 1893; gave the people honest po-
liticS-the Initiative and Referendum. with
two honest defenders OF the peoples
rights as the peoples standard bearers in
the coming campaign. And deceptive gold
begins its work against reform by secur-
ing sorehead political demagogues, flu
sionists, and ce-seekers, that will rule,
or ruin, to call a convention in Buffalo
or somewhere; and while they claim to
be reformers they use every means in their
power to break up ranks and scatter the
forces OF reform, Making merchandise Of

know that if they succeed there is millions
in it,-for them, who, like the Irish Par

World says Senator Stewart, silver
mine owner and a natural plutocrat, be-
came the leading agent in this villainou:
work. Many of our leaders will remen.
Der the wonderful shrewdness and ability
with which he played his part at the St
Louis Convention of that year, when
with tears in his eyes, he begged the
Populists to commit suicide
And now it seems that Stewart has
dropped his perfdious mask and has sold
his paper, "a pretended Populist organ)
directly to the Democrats, and will con-
tinue to write for it.
The conspirators now see that they can
never persuade another national Populist
convention to indorse a Democratic can
didate for President, and so they are
boldly advocating Democracy pure and
simple; and at the same time doing all
in their power to divide up and destroy
the Peoples Party. Unless we are very
much mistaken every leading fusionist in
the United States will be found hard at
work for the next year and half, trying
to split us into fragments. The first step
to this result will be the contemplated
gathering on June 18th, at Buffalo, N Y.

OF DIR. Fay, the trickery behind this
movement

straight ahead on lines Of the Omaha

~ A FINANCIAL QUESTION.
We have received the following letter


Sheridan Mont. Feb Is, 1900.
Ed. Rep: would like to have you an
swer question ii you will be kind
enough to do so; as | had dispute with
one OF my republican neighbors. Why
is it that the Mexican silver dollar ism t
worth as much as our silver dollar in for
eign countries, when the Mexican dollar
has more silver in it than our dollar If
you rather refer me to some book than to
do the writing it will do just as well; if
you can do this favor for me | will do as
much for you il l ever get chance.
We would say in reply that the silver
dollar is equal in value to a gold dollar
in the United States because it is legal
tender by law for the payment OF debts
1t is rot redeemable in gold, but no man
will part with it for less than 100 cents on
the dollar, because he can pay 100 cents
OH dollar Of debt with it, and his credi-
tor is obliged, by law, to accept it from
him at its face value 1t is the fiat Of
government that makes money, not the
material OF which it consists; for the legal
tender silver dollar OF the u S. is worth
IL
is composed is worth but AZ cents
Our correspondent can readily see that
ii he is paid silver dollar he will not
sell it for its bullion value AZ cents, when
he can pay debt OF 100 cents with it,
or sell it to some one who has debt to
pay. If instead of silver, the government
OF the United States had taken piece of
sole-leather and stamped upon it "One
Dollar" and had by law OF Congress made
it legal tender, and obliged every creditor
to take it from his debtor, it would be
worth 100 cents on the dollar just as
much as if it was composed OF silver or
gold. II the creditor refuses to take it
from the debtor, all the debtor would
have to do would be to take the "ten-
der" OF it, in the presence of witnesses,
and the court would then extinguish the
debt, to the face amount of the tender so
made. This is what is meant by legal
tender"
Ii the Republic OF Mexico contained
population Of 10000, 900 with an immense
commerce with all parts OF the world its
silver dollars would be worth 100 cents
on the dollar everywhere, just as our
money is; for the merchants buying
goods from them could ship back to
Mexico the Mexican dollars in part pay
ment OF their debt; but Mexico is a small,
poorly developed country, and insignifi-
cant compared with this gigantic nation.
And yet in Mexico itself the Mexican
silver dollar is received at par, and it is
an admitted fact that Mexico is prosper
ing and growing at rate far beyond that
of the United States. The United States
ought to be great deal more prosperous
than it is, for it is the greatest producer
OF food and cotton in the world,-its ex-
ports are tremendous. And vet a great
many Of our people are still heavily in
debt, and the masses are not prosperous.
We hope we have sufficiently answered
our friends inquiries. /. D.
