thing was shameful fraud, and that
the name of good old Peter Cooper was
desecrated by being made the cover of
q Democratic gathering.
The hero of the occasion was w. j.
Bryan, an out-and-out Democrat, who is
now running for the nomination Of the
Democratic party for president. He fed
them "taffy" by the bucketful.
And there, too, was Gen. Weaver, come
all the way from Iowa to the Populist
CD meeting, to advocate merger with
Democracy.
What is the meaning of all this?
1t is an attempt to counteract the eff
feet of the meeting the other day at
Kansas City, and the declaration there
made against fusion; and the solemn re-
solve that if the Democrats controlled
the 1900 Peoples party convention, the
real Populists would put up ticket of
their own, and fight for the life of the
party to the last extremity.
And for this end the bugle call was
sounded and the bogus Populists called
in from every quarter, to listen to Bryan

believed that the plays were written BY
Lord Francis Bacon. He has spent sew

question, and has delved into everything
that would throw light on the disputed
points. Now he writes that he will soon
be in possession Of the original manu-
script, not only of the plays now known,
but of some that have never been put

Mr.. Stafford says that he concluded
that the preface to Shakespeare's works
was not up to the standard of the plays
themselves, and that therefore it was
written in cipher. In the British Muse

plays, and after much hard work de-
ciphered the preface, which revealed that
Lord Bacon was the author, and stated
that the manuscript could be found on
the old Lord Bacon estate, now in pos
session of Lord Verulam, at Gorhams-
bury. 1t is said to be in an iron box,
enclosed in masonry, and the preface
says the finder is to be the owner. Lord

MIR, BATEMAN'S LETTER.

We print, elsewhere in this issue, a
strong letter from our valued friend,
Bateman, of Maine. We do this not
only because it is our duty to give all
sides hearing, but because of our high
respect for Mr.. Bateman himself
While there is a great deal of truth in
his letter, nevertheless we think it bet
ter for the radical Populists to make the
most determined effort to capture that
national convention.
The earnest men, who love the cause
for righteousness sake, certainly out
number the miserable office-seekers-
the fellows who are after spondulicks
and gut-fat.
And there is great deal in the sug-
gestiOn limited at by Mr.. Bateman, that
if the Democrats invade our convention.
and, by cunning arts and trickery and
bribery, deny us the right of separate
existence, we will all vote, just once, in
1900, for the Republican ticket, and bury
Democracy so deep that the horn of Ga
briel will never sound in it's ears.
Rub that into them, and even Bryan
will call halt in the game of aggres-
sion and insolence.
1t is bad enough to steal some of our
principles, without stealing our organi-
zation, and driving us out from the shell
ter of our own roof-tree into the street.
Before we go there will be free fight:
and perhaps little judicious hanging
of traitors
Any man has right to be a Demo-
crat, but no man has a right to be a
Democrat and pretend to be Populist.
The men who will do that ought to 20 to
sheol and dwell in the hottest corner
with Judas Iscariot and Benedict Ar
mold. I'D.

OUR NEW BARONS.

In the old time the worst enemies of
the people were the mail-clad barons,
who, from some rude castle perched on
a rugged crag, sailed forth to rob the
travellers and outrage the women.
Now we are civilized. The baron has
been transformed into smooth, subtle
white-faced, broad-clothed financier who
does not plumber few individuals, but
impoverishes whole communities: he
does not rob woman of her honor, but
compels her to sell it for bread.
Bob Schilling gives the following spec
linen of how they work:
What the bankers and their hired attor-
neys consider Sound financering and cur
rency reform is made plain by dispatch
from Washington which says that President
Iglesias recently returned to Costa Rica
from his trip to the United States and
Europe. During the visit of President Ig-
lesias to Europe he opened negotiations for
$2,0O0,000 in gold to be shipped to Costa
Rica to carry out the plan of establishing
the gold standard. The plan is to be exc
cuted within the next three years, and is
already under way. It has been attended
by no disturbance to business and the ad-
ditional 100000 it is believed will permit
the successful completion of this financial
REFORM"
So in order to adopt the gold standard
Costa RIGA borrows 81, 200. 900 in gold, and
Of course issues paper bonds to the bankers
who let the little country have the yellow
trash. Now Costa Rica has a basis for
It's paper money, but what constitutes the
basis of its paper bonds?
First it issues paper money for say 81 900,
O0OTthen 1t issues the same amount in paper
bonds to borrow two millions in gold. Now
it has two millions of useless gold and four
millions of paper outstanding
Leave out the bonds and the gold and it
would be just as we'll Oft would have
81, 200, 900 of uncovered" paper, just as it
has now.
But in that case the bondholder could
draw no interest and the fool people would
have to pay no taxes in order to pay. him
his interest.
And this is currency reform in Costa
And there are bigger countries that are
fools in that respect.
:; If Costa RIGA does not consent to this
swindle, every banker in Europe and
America will uniteito discredit her paper
money, and ayrevblution will be worked
up to overthrow the men who will not be
their tools. II
Thus is the woKld governed. I'D.

READ ALL SIDES.

POpulists everywhere believe in fair
field and an open fight, and especially is
this true in the realm of debate and the
discussion of public questions. Talk to
the average old-party voter about any of
the great national issues, and he will tell
you he is too busy for politics. Not so
with the Populist. It is his wish to read
up on both sides of all important ques-
lions. Facts Independent of the censor
ship of the plutocratic press association
is what our people want. Without facts,
without full and unbiased testimony,
conclusions are of no value. The daily
press and patent insides have carried
weekly to every American home the ad-
ministration side or version of the Phil
ippine fight Populists believe the ad-
ministratiOn version of the money ques-
ton, the trust question and monopoly
question to be wrong. If wrong on these
questions, then may the administration
not be wrong on the Philippine ques-
ton? 1t is not the rightful province of
The Representative to determine for our
party any such new question? 1t is the
province of every reform paper to fear
lessly state the facts as it may get them,
and to make such comment as the editor
may deem proper.
Circumstances, self-interest and en-
vironments vary the conclusions of men
on all vital public issues, and recognize
ing this fact, no one man or one paper
can stand sponsor for a whole party
Open and free discussion is the lever
that shapes the trend of events, and
the most useful part of our paper is the
Forum, always open to brief letters upon
any important question. Letters are
never rejected because not in exact &C
cord with it's editors views, and corre-
spondents are asked to remember that
for nearly two years The Representative
has had two editors working in harmony
for common end, while both have re-
pudiated the 'all-think-alike" doctrine -

1NChEASED CUHHENCY-GOOD TIMES.
We find in the Minneapolis Journal of
the 26th of May the following article:
WASHINGTON. May 25.-The Philadel
phia Press thinks that if the director of
the mint is right that the gold product CT
the world is to rise next year to $500, 600, 900
and the Press adds, parenthetically, that
there is every reason for believing that he
is right-he has launched the biggest piece
of news and the biggest bull point known
for years. The editorial quotes the figures
which were in a recent Washington special
to the Journal, and then says that if the
gold product is to continue rising, the next
three years will turn out as much gold as
the five years from 1891 to 1896, and as much
as the ten years from 1881 to 1891. The
Press adds:
''The five years from 1897 to 1902, inclus-
i've, promise to turn out one-third more gold
than the ten years after California and Aus
tralia were opened. Their mines added about
81, 400, 100000 in ten years to the worlds
gold.
"All know what that did. Prices rose with
bound. Trade increased with rush. Real
estate rose in value in every civilized land
Wages increased as never before. New mar
kets were opened and old ones increased
in demand. The world has not seen in the
last century such another boom decade as
1850 to 1860.
Like produces like. That increase in
gold came after a shrinkage in supply. So
does this. That succeeded long and severe
depression. So does this. No one expected
that. No one expected this"
Between 1880 and 1850, twenty years. the
gold product Of the world was only $780,
100000 or less than this year alone will
give. This year is giving the world more
gold each month than the twenty years
before California gave every year. After
recounting these facts and numerous others
along the same line. the Press closes it's
editorial with the following words:
''The gold difficulty vanishes before such
supply, and the silver question with it. No
one can pretend that there is not gold
enough to go around The struggle for
gold ends. Currency questions simplify.

ments based on a scarcity of gold. II 1900

While we do getss believe that the
statements which are now going the
rounds of the press are true. as to the
tremendous increazeDf the annual pro-
duction OF gold, We nevertheless. think
that the admissfg made in this article
are most signifqf6t, and coming from a
leading REPUBLIC ~ paper, are a COM
plete 'give-awa] i,the villainous con-
mits that the eased supply of gold

duction of gold, after the supplies of
California and Australia were poured
out on the world, the Philadelphia Press
taiso Republican,, says: prices rose
with bound; trade increased with a
rush; real estate rose in value in every
civilized land; wages increased as never
before. Old markets were reopened, and
new ones increased in demand. The
world has not seen in the last century
such another boom decade as 1850 to
1860"
This tells the whole story. II the
extra supply OF gold from the mines of
Australia and California produced these
results because it "watered the curren-
cy," the closing of the minis against sill
yer, thus diminishing the money supply,
produced exactly the opposite results.
Prices fell at tremendous rate, trade
diminished. Real estate decreased in
value in every civilized land; wages
fell as never before; the list of suicides
ans the catalogue of crime increased at
fearful rate, and the world has not
seen in the last century such another
decade of suffering and contraction as
that from 1889 to 1899.
When one thinks that all these ca
families were brought on mankind by
the greed and cunning of the money
power, with the sole purpose to make
their bonds and securities more valu-
able, one feels that no punishment
spirators.
The cat escapes from the bag some
times, and even prison bars will not al
ways hold the truth in. And hence this
hard-shelled Republican paper, the Min
neapolis Journal, admits everything that
we have been contending for, for years
past; but, like it's brethren, it has not
the nerve to stand up and denounce the
miscreants who have subjected mankind
to such unparalleled sufferings.
If it be true. that the increased value
of gold, caused by the increased demand
for it, has ledy to an extraordinary in
crease in the production of the metal
the next thing We will see will be the
plutocratic papers, objecting to gold,
striving to deponetize it, as they did
some time since. and struggling to make
silver the basic metal of commerce Or
if they fear that the demand would in
crease the supply of silver, they will be
found favoring. a, paper money, the
amount of which would be regulated by
the banks.
They have got the world by the throat.
and they will never willingly let go
their hold until their. grip is blown
loose with gunpowder and dynamite.

STRONGLY DISSATISFIED.
A Powerful Letter.

Editor Representative:
I am anxiously watching your COL
umns to see true report of the proceed
ings Of the late reform press meeting at
Kansas City. AS Mr.. Donnelly was
present feel certain that we shall get
a correct account
The old-party press reports that the
association voted to stick to the Butler
wing of the party, and go into the con-
vention called by that politician in 1900.
1t further reports that the reorganiza-
ton committee, headed by Milton Park,
acquiesced in this determination.
cannot believe this to be true While
that committee has done lots of "wob-
bling" and have shown but little nerve
in the past, 1 cannot believe that they
have gone to the extent of virtually dis
banding and throwing themselves into
the arms of Marion Butler and his Dem
ocratic allies. This is what it would
amount to, if the old-party press is
correct
Not only that, but it would nullify the
entire Cincinnati movement. 1t would
dunn resolutions, and disrupt and dis
band the whole movement If it be true
that they are to go into the Butler con-
vention, then the whole reform move
ment is thing of the past, and ex-
Senator PETER is justified in going back
into the Republican party.
The Democrats will have full control
of the Butler convention in 1900. They
will do whatever they consider best for
Bryan and the Democratic party. It
seems incredible that men like 10 Par
ker, Morgan and other actual reformers
would advocate or consent to such a
thing. If they thus consented to do
this, then it shows how little they know
of politics and how poorly fitted they
are as leaders.
In the first place, there are a dozen
states that are now for a middle of-the-
road policy that would not be repre-
sented in the Butler convention. The
state of Maine will send no delegates to
any convention called by Marion Butler
If any Popu1ists want to make asses of
themselves, there is no law to prevent
it, but We shall not be among the num-
Der. The chairman of the Michigan state
committee writes me that he will not
even call state convention to consider
the matter. Georgia, Alabama and
several other states will follow the same
course. 10 Parker and his friends
would have lonely time in the Butler
convention. They would not have as
much weight as fly on coach wheel
Gentlemen. the die is cast There are
one million of us in this country who
will not be driven into the Democratic
party, and have also got enough politi-
cal sense not to be caught in any of it's
side-shows. We will go into no Butler
conventions, or allow ourselves to be
outwitted by Democrats. If lot of
nerveless, namby-pamby Populists per-
sist in playing into the hands of the fu-
sion Democrats, and if by so doing it
results in disrupting the middle-of-the-
road movement, then we will see to it
that Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic
party shall receive no benefit from their
senseless course. There need be no mis-
understanding on this point. Persist in
your suicidal course, and we will teach
you lesson that you will remember for
all time. Carthage dilenda est!
