FINANCIAL LEGISLATION PRE-
DICTED
PRE-

Senator Allison is the authority for the
statement that Congress, at its approach
ing session, will pass financial measure
He says it will be very moderate meas
ure-one that will maintain the gold
standard. and at the same time give the
country safe and flexible currency. In
the course of his talk the senator said;
The recommendations of the Presi-
dent relative TO the issue of
national bank currency to the
par value of the bonds deposited
with the United States treasurer. a de-
crease in the tax on national bank cireu-
lation and, the payment of gold for green
backs when the latter are taken out of the
treasury are all worthy of enactment into
law and should not be surprised to see
them adopted"
We have not believed at any time that
Congress, at the session commencing next
December viii pass a financial measure
I will be difficult matter 10 suggest any
financial legislation which will command
the undivided support of the Republicans.
They don't want any trouble in their
ranks in the presidential election year. and
they don't want 10 give the Democrats
any campaign material 1t is impossible
to frame a financial measure that wouldn't
provoke a vast amount of opposition.
Therefore, while the Republicans will talk
about financial measure and bills look

duced, il is safe to say that no money
bin win be passed until after the nresi-

CURRENT COMMENT.

Commenting on the recently submitted
report of the Porto Rico commission. the
Chicago Chronicle Dem) says: "The
breezy way in which the commissioners
talk about substituting United States
money for that 90 which the people have
been accustomed the divorce of church
and state, the taxation of the people to
support schools and the complete revolu-
tionizing of laws and the judicial system
shows that they have but little apprecia-
ton of the attachment of people to the
things to which they have been accustom-
ed. No people on the face of the earth
would welcome such sweeping changes or
submit cheerfully to the foreign officials
who would have TO be introduced to ad-
minister and apply the new laws and OPP
crate the new political machinery.
The Charleston Evening Post DEM.
says: "A fun definition of the Monroe doc
trine at this time would be difficult and
would certainly cause embarrassment
The principle of il, however. should be
jealously maintained by the United States.
The Cars silent acceptance of the doc
trine is graceful and satisfies the situa-
ton excellently.
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem)
says: "rhe wages of miners in this dis
trict have been increased four times in
two months, going from 40 cents ton 10
52ts cents. This increase of 33s per cent
is just about the increase that has taken
place in all other mining and manufac-
turing affairs in this district"

The Representative-Dear Sir: En-
closed find subscription from four more
new subscribers.
l have just arrived home after holding
six meetings to talk over the proposition
OF organizing this county into the Grain
Growers Cooperative Association, and
find all we'll pleased with the Minnesota
plan of organization. And l believe we
will have very little trouble to organize
every township in the state in the month
of June, if we can get the plan OF the
movers in this great work before every
intelligent grain grower. 1t will spread
like wild fire, and we will have one of the
grandest organizations that was ever or
organized by any class OF men in this
country.
am very sorry that North Dakota is
not as far along in this work as it should
be; but nevertheless she must be ready to
give great assistance when the proper
time comes, in the way OF patronage with
her grain, if nothing more.
l shall do all in my power to help push
this work to the front, for | am we'll sat
isfed that it is move that and great
many Of my neighbors have been looking
for for some time

do not properly view the Ohio reformers.
had the pleasure of attending the Gin
damnable Fusion Judases were there. In
this state those fellows are in the Demo
cratic party, and l hope they will stay
there.
I have been Populist about FIVE years,
and have given my time and means to
help the, principles Of that party along.
I have thought that through representa-
tives we could get these blessings made
into laws for the people. But not long
ago these representatives met at St.
Louis What did they do?
Simply dumped clean party into a
cesspool OF iniquity. That is what re-
duced the Ohio Pops from fifty odd thou
sand to where we had to petition to get
on the ballot Every man seemed to be
paralyzed and we could not get re-
action.
So we saw that the real reformers
would have to unite to maintain an ex-
istence We did not want to loose the
work we had done; so we began to figure
on a unit, and so we knew that Direct
Legislation (the people,, not the ST
Louis Judases, we could all agree on
Then let us not fight each other on what
appears to us is wrong with the other
fellow
AS far as Ohio is concerned the Peo-
pies Party( l regret to say was sent to
its grave at ST. Louis, and all we want
is to give us solid rock, Direct Legis-
lation, for a platform. 1t is a means
whereby we can have our grievances
brought before the people. I am trying
to teach populism every day.
l am glad to say that Donnelly was
not one of the traitors at St. Louis; ane
that there were lots OF patriots there. but
they were in the minority. This broke
the last straw OF my faith in representa-
tive government. and that is why | say
give us party with but one plank, Direct
| Legislation.
l send clipping which shows that this
plank has no meaning only when it is
alone Respectfully.

Hon. Ignatius Donnelly,
Dear Sir: l notice by the Representa-
tive that meeting of the Grain Growers
Association is called for the 9TH inst. I
am sorry that l am not able to attend
the same. have done nothing so far in
the line OF organizing because l had moth
ing to propose to the farmers, definitely.
But promise to do all can if your meet
ing shall decide upon a constitution and
incorporate the association.
l agree with you most heartily that
only farmers should be admitted to men,
bership. Otherwise it will be only a
farce and of short duration And I will
not pledge myself to support the move
ment if everybody is admitted to men,
bership If it shall be farmers associa-
ton it must be composed of farmers.
Otherwise it will soon pass out Of their
control l should like to see the price
OF shares of stock be fixed at ten or fifteen
dollars instead of twenty-five, it would
be much more popular and give greater
membership. hope you will be able to
place the association on wise and last
ing foundation Yours truly.

this, from the many years experience l
have had as farmer, and organizer of
farmers, l will not at any price, make
a farmers organization with any members
not of the producing class This is the
last chance of the farmer to save his home
and maintain his freedom as man, not
slave, and no mistakes must be made in
organizing. He must secure to himself
the right to enter free and open mar
ket everywhere with no red tape or other
distractions. The money shackles that
are upon him must come off. He needs
better buildings and less mortgages on
his farm home and without fear or favor
will discharge his stock jobbers in his
blood and muscle. Agents he never en-
ployed are taking everything in sight, and

lied body it will stop and not before
