JIM DLUDSO'S GHOST.

When the Representative is makine
every sacrifice and every effort to keep
the Peoples party craft afloat until the
nation may reach the haven of reform
the bills of our printers burst upon us
like the devastating flames that de-
voured the prairie Bell"
The Representative, week after week
stands at its post of duty watching the
raging of the political elements, while
such of our friends and old comrades as
Charlie Hopkins, L. C. Long, Capt. A.
H. Nelson and others are making for
the shore
AS we see these men, our friends, seem
ingly panic-stricken, there comes to
memory the following pathetic lines:
Through the hot, black breath of the
burning boat,
Jim Bludso's voice was heard.
And they all had trust in his cussed-
And knowd he would keep his word.
There was runnin' an cussin', but jim
yelled out,
Over all the Internal roar,
I'll hold her nozzle agin the bank.
Till the last galoOt's ashore"
And. sures your born, they all got of
Afore the smoke stacks fell,
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Bell"
We are still at our post; we are hold
ing our craft agin the bank of almost
insurmountable financial difficulties. and
we must appeal to each of our subscrib-
ers to do for us what little he can on
subscription account. E.. At.

PAY IN ADVANCE,

1t has been long day since we have
called upon our subscribers for money.
Meantime we have never missed an is
sue of the paper and the printers have
never missed week sending in their
bill for printing. We have sent out
lately some circular letters reminding
our readers that we sometimes need
money and that terms of subscription to
the Representative are 81 per year
cash in advance. We have never insist
ed on cash in advance, and if those who
owe us today So and more, would pay up
to date, we could live on Easy street.
We wish all our readers would look Ut
label on their paper and remit some
thing, anyway.
Furnishing paper year in advance
OF getting our pay is the same thing to
us as lOaning each of our subscribers
81 each, and we are no money-loaning
plutes
1t is easier for each one to pay us that
dollar in advance than it is for us to
borrow thousands to carry a big de-
t linquent list
Come, gentlemen, don't compel us 20
either borrow or lend. We have no
desire to be Napoleons of finance, but
are content to edit and publish each
week the best reform paper in this coun-
try. E. A. II,

should all occur and Mr., Bryan remain
blissfully ignorant Of the fact?
Strange. Is It not. that these Demo-
Gratis. with sympathy bubbling over in
their souls for the poor Filipino, did
not rush to North Carolina and cry out
In the name of God and humanity this
outrage must cease!"
Strange, is 1t not. that w. J. Bryan,
whose tender soul melts in sympathy
for the poor Filipino, did not hasten to
North Carolina, and stay the armed
march of the Democratic "Red Shirts:''
Why did he not raise his voice against
Goebelism in Kentucky?
Why did he go to Kentucky and sup
port and indorse Goebelism?
Why did he advise Populists in Ken
lucky to abandon their ticket and sup
port Goebel?
l can only briefly sketch the infamy
of this Democratic party in its i'm
perialistic methods in the South.
1t is record as black as night Force
fraud and bloodshed mark its reign in
the South.
1t stands for the worst, most damn
able political Imperialism this country
has ever seen and has the cheek and un-
mitigated gall to pose as the friend II
the oppressed of every land.
There Is more fraud, more, sham,
more hypocrisy in this issue Of 'im-
perialism" to the square inch than any
issue this party of fraud, corruption and
false pretenses has ever yet been able
to conjure up.
1t is intended to humbug the Ameri-
can people.
1t Is intended to finish up the work
commenced at St. Louis four years age
the work Of destroying the Populist
party.
Populists, are you to be caught with
such chaff as this? Will you forget the
great issues? VIII you be led away
by this politician manufactured issue
and allow the great principles Of Pop
ulism to die?
VIII you abandon the work of years
to simply put our political enemies in
office?
Will you destroy all hope of reform
for another 20 years for the sake of fol-
lowing in the wake of these political
free hooters, and then when your party
lies in the throes of dissolution, have
them turn on you and jeer and mock
you?
This fusion has been an unholy, un-
natural alliance. It has brought us into
this miserable ENHANCEMENT, and If we
would save our party, we must stand for
Independent political action; and We
must, again, raise the banner of true
Populism and rally around it's standard.

A GOOD MEETING,

An excellent meeting was held on Sat-
urday, the 29th ultimo, at Faribault, in
this state. The court house was crowd
ed-nearly every seat being occupied
At the close a number remained be-
hind to take the necessary steps for or
ganiZation.
Hon. s. M. Fairchild, our candidate
for governor, was present and made all
earnest and eloquent speech Hon.
Ignatius Donnelly also spoke at length.
Hon. J. R. Lowe, our nominee for con-
gress in that district, made a ringing
speech.
Altogether, the meeting was a very
propitious one and gave great satisfac-
ton.
The fires are burning brightly in Rice
county.

In THE COAL REGIONS
Interesting Accounts, Deductions and
Reflections From IL Correspond
ent the Spot.
From a Staff Correspondent,

IOul OJdu correspondent.
HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. 21.-As one
travels around the mining district he
sees at each station miners and mine la
borers with their packs leaving the an
thracite region. OF the Hungarians,
Italians, Swedes, Russians, probably
more than one-haf are on their way
to homes on the other side. They have
very little money, but it takes very lit
tie to pay steerage way to their former
homes. They can live until the strike
is over and then return. Living is
going to New York and Philadelphia
hoping to find some kind of work. Most
of the others are on their way to the
bituminous regions. There they are
promised work. Not many of the men
are accompanied by their wives. Most
of them are single and the married ones
are leaving their wives to shift for them
selves.
This movement to the bituminous
region is being encouraged by the strike
leaders. The pickets are provided with
the names Of places in the bituminous
regions where work is most apt to be
secured and when a man shows a dispo-
sition to leave he is sent to one of these
His expenses are not paid. BY this
method the strike leaders hope to ac-
complish two things. They are trying
materially to decrease the number CT
workers in the anthracite district with
the hope that fewer will return to work
By getting rid of large numbers, there
will be fewer to support when the hard
pinch comes in the early winter.
No matter which way the strike ends,
it would be wise policy to try and pre-
vent the return of this surplus labor TO
the district. One of the chief evils of
the anthracite mines is that there is not
enough work to go around. Instead of
taking care of as many employees as
there is steady work for the practice Is
to give all who present themselves a
little work. The result is that in mines
where the daily wage might be consider
ed fairly good the men have a hard time
to get along because they have so few
working days.
1t might be said in passing that the
plan of giving a little work to many in
stead of steady work to a proper num-
ber is apparently a part of the policy Of
the companies. 1t keeps the men in a
more helpless condition. The necessity
of this is never forgotten.
While on the subject of the migration
of the miners it is interesting to note
how the railroads take advantage of the
operators in this respect. The Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware & Lackawanna and the
Lehigh railroads treat their miners very
well. Their employees have nothing to
complain about company stores, COM
pany physicians, ETC., and even gun
powder is sold by the Pennsylvania at
about half what the other mines charge
the miners. The miner is also favored
when he strikes a particularly hard
place in his contract.
The result of all this is that these
mines secure the best workmen. They

AN ABLE LETTER.

LIE Clair, Douglas county
October, l. 1900.
Editor Representatives
Though l have been silent these several
months, 1 have been neither apathetic nor
thoughtless. l have been perfectly content
to let abler pens portray the wrongs and
trend of that party which is moving
heaven and earth to secure another four
years of its le-or-ruin policy; and if this
dire result is reached at the ballot box
In November, 1t will not be by the studied
and Intelligent convictions of the masses.

Is simply astonishing, if not appalling, how
ignorant and Indifferent the people are in

to listen and compare notes and opinions;
but this large voting class are as deaf to

mckinley has ever changed his opinion or

Cleveland for destroying half of our me-
tallic currency and they will call it Popu-
list lie Tell them that he. while in the
senate, was an uncompromisng silver ad-
vocate, that his every utterance was in
this line at 16 to l, and they will call it
another Populist lie. Tell them that he

rich coal, but are full of Stag and other
impurities. It requires three or four
times as much powder as was used for
merly; oh, it requires more than that.
1t requires more labor to bring the coal
down. The slopes are not apt to be as
favorable for loading. If the miners
who have the good veins could have
their own way they would have no
trouble with their laborers, but they
must be in with the others according 10
the dictum of the trust. The machinery
is now more expensive, the number If
employees in and around the mine great
er, the interest charges higher, the
freight rates higher and the cost all
along the line increased. The terms In
the miners contracts are not different
from what they were then, but the con-
ditiOns are so much harder that he can
earn only a small percentage of what he
did then. 1t is a costly coal at best;
bituminous coal is always fighting for
it's market, and naturally no one has
taken the time or trouble to adjust the
new conditions to the stomach and back
of the poor, helpless miner That is
really the story.
On top of this the anthracite coal
mines are financed at their greatest
values. This is frequently the case
with trusts. Promoters deal with the
highest dividends. The fight for the
possession of this enormously rich dis
trict began more than two decades ago.
1t was very attractive then. The fight
began. So keen were the thin-lipped
fnanciers to control these black dia-
monds, that they forgot TO revise their
estimates as the years went by. There
was still an unmeasured quantity of
coal. Harder to get? Yes. but they
would get it. The possession is now
complete The financing charges were
fabulous, the amount of water to cajole
the man In on the ground floor was
immense, and the result is that the black
diamond has to carry a heavy burden
In it's journey from the miner to the
CRATE. The coal trust man therefore
feels compelled to make the miner work
for as little as his stomach will stand,
and he demands as much from the con-
sumer as the btuminous man will let
him. He hopes to own that bituminous
man later. He is beginning by taking
unto himself the involved transporta-
tion companies. The other things can
come later. IE the exclusively anthra-
