A SENSIBLE ARTICLE.

The Minneapolis Tribune of Feb. 5
contains the following article, which
will interest our readers:
The Tribune is in receipt of long letter
from one Ralph B. Larkin, dated at Buena
Vista. Col, making an appeal for aid for
the famine sufferers of India. He reviews
Lord Curzon's recent report, which states
that the famine area has increased until
now it includes 10000, 900 more people than
it did two months ago. making a total of
100000 starving people. The fact that this
famine follows so closely upon that Of 81
makes it still more appalling, and it bids
fair to be more destructive than that one
and Julian Hawthorne estimated the
deaths from the last famine to be between
100000 and 1900, 900.
Mr.. Larkin adds: May I ask II you
would be willing to open your columns for
an India relief fund9 If the great daiiies
of America earnestly take up the matter

of dollars will be given, hundreds of thou

difference. have seen statement that the
British government in India proposes to

Brother Wayland is the man who is
sending his paper, the Appeal to Rea-
son, to every editor in the United
States. He is doing work never be-
fore attempted, and the beneficent re-
suits are beyond the possibility of any
accurate calculation
His paper has already reached the
enormous circulation of over u, ZOO cop
les weekly and every reformer rejoices
to see this good work go on.
Mr.. Wayland is professedly Social
list. He is, however, one Of the consist
ent and reasonable sort, and is closely
followed by large wing of the Popu-
lists.
He advocates that sort of socialism
that looks to better economic, indus
trial, social and political conditions He
would push the ideas of socialism as
long as by so doing the results would be
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. He would stop short when social
ism became an. unwarranted and need
less restraint upon individual rights.
He would urge public ownership only
as check to greedy monopoly and the
unequal distribution of wealth. We
have never known him to declaim
against the private ownership of wheel
barrows, bucksaws, tin whistles or ba-
bies rattles.
He was once member of Ruskin col
ony and there experienced some of the
weaknesses of communism and took on
ballast that has helped him hold his
course away from the rocks of 'too much
in common and too little in private y
He believes in just enough of a good
thing to be good.

strength but will not hurt you. His
paper is no government depository Of

That earnest, Woodworking Populist,
N. r. Parks, of Glencoe, Mimi, a whole

cast:

Every dollar of state debt is a mortgage

1t is kept on your back for the same
purpose that the harness is kept on mule
except that the mule draws raw material
to get cash, while the debt on you draws
cash. and these same sharks cheat you on
the raw material.
The state debt divided out by the census
g OF 1890 to each person is $40 and one cent
II one third of them pay taxes then how
much is your share? THINK.
When will it be paid? NEVER. Unless
you get AWAKE and force It,

serty In this state is $197,745, $50.
Take out the mortgages and state debt
and the people only own scant II cents on

E The national state and mortgaged debt
is 1868 per capita or 5000 ON a farm.
Don't you think that because your land
Is clear that the mortgage does not at

Nearly all the interest paid by your neigh

Does 1t nav to have a hip debit IN vour

Lester Prairie, Feb 1, 1900.
Ed. Representative: Now, at last, my
suspicious have come true. When that
Kansas City convention was held I felt
sure that the scheme was, to finally in
veigle the Midroad Populists into fusion.
Now we see that even the chairman of
the non-fusionists has made a banter by
telegraph for Bryan to just flop" once
more and receive the aggregate votes of
ID fools, who have been "hood
winked" into so silly fraud.
Now, there are some who can't tell
bran from shavings, who say it was
just to tease him, as they know Bryan
will not transform to suit. Still the
bigger fools to have the name of coax
ing after such slut and being Tilted, is
just as bad to men of any character as
to be accepted.
Now look at it! When we came from
Cincinnati we began to appear to the
world as honest, earnest men who were
determined to maintain principle till
we got the strength and confidence OF
good men, and everybody knows that
confidence was growing rapidly till that
logging affair at Kansas City.
No vital success has ever been OBJ
tanned by half-hearted effort. How
could we, of the truest workers, have
courage to spend our money and time
when we were sick at heart with almost
a knowledge that we were working up
mass of votes to be turned over to
a lot of shysters, and thereby disgracing
even our own manhood.
This is no new idea with me; wrote
would come of it long ago. He is at
liberty to state anything 1 said on the
subject.
Well, now, what is to be "did?" I
have been at work and expect to keep
on, and, by the Eternal! traitors can
stand from under, as it shall be holy
task to me to whack them on the noggin
from now on. I, for-One, calculate to
maintain principle without fear that
it will find name or station, thanking
God that we are rid of another horde of
rotten-hearted sneaks 1t was that we
had spewed off 80 many foul characters
that made us a clean name and growing
faith up to that logging bee.
Now if all the people on earth and
half the angels in heaven "fuse," there
will still be one who does not, and If

Hurrah for KRUGER.

The Infamous and abusive attack on
Senator Pettigrew, OF South Dakota, in
Its issue Of the 10th by the Chicago
Times-Herald, shows to what pusilani-
nifty that mouthpiece Of plutocracy and
imperialism has sunk. Instead of hon
oring Mr.. Pettigrew for advocating the
principles on which our government
was organized and originally run. 1t
seeks to villify nd scandalize that gen.
tleman and compliments Senator VOL
colt and every plutocratic stiff that
comes before the public. That is the
trouble at the present time in the
United States congress. There are too
few Pettigrews, Suffers and Masons,
and instead the whole system of gov
eminent seems to be in the hands of
Wall street lackeys, corporation tools.
AnglO-maniacs, embezzlers, bribers and
political corruptionists. Every day
gives proof that such is the fact, and in
stead of having government we have
a mis- government and imposition.
lingo Joe and Bill the Butcher are hav-
ing an inning at present, or trying hard
to make a score or record, but it will be
record of blood and inhumanity, one
of the darkest chapters in our history
as a nation.
And for the American people, or peo-
pie of the United States to remain
silently and see that brave little nation,
the Transvaal state, a sister republic,
wiped out by British greed and rapacity,
is a crowning infamy.
The same gang of bloodthirsty mis-
creants or hellions that are trying to
destroy the Transvaal republic would
serve this nation in the same manner
if occasion demanded.
Hurrah for Paul Kruger and the
South African republic. j. NJ.

Wegdahl, Chippewa Co., Mimi, Jan. "a.
Editor Representative.
Dear Sir: We farmers and producers
are chattel slaves to the option gambl-
ing of the commercial boards Of trades
in the United States of America.
This can be fixed in "a hours, as the
producers and farmers organize and
adopt their own boards of trade by unit
ing under constitution and bylaws,
and nothing be sold without the prices
the officiate thereof set up.
In order not to be pinched the farmers
and producers have to adopt the nation
al banking system, with branch banks.
to meeting running expenses which with
safety valve is necessary to check of
the forco of the others bank system.
We are now paid by the soundest
money the world ever has known, SO
cents for a bushel of sound, good
wheat. Why should we not have dol
lar for it?
The board of trade and the bank sys-
tenn are the last thing there are left to
the farming and producing classes, of
course the government and states are
bound to favor no class of the people
as the other class by the same privil-
eyes, this system would not cost Is
cents per head of producers; but as it
stands now it costs the producers from
$500 to $4,000 per head per year. The
Farmers Alliance is going to meet in
st. Paul next month, why not organize
at once board of trade and a national
bank and levy on the members to get
the fifty thousand in capital stock that
will cost only trifle opposite to what
the others levy? II not the farmers
want to save themselves with the rem
edy in their own hands, we'll let the
others go long with you, they will skin
and scalp and dry the farmers out, just
as England has done by Ireland.

The Political Outlook of Today.

The Political Outlook of Today.
Dear Brothers. Another national cam
paign is upon us, and once more are we
called upon to decide between the true
and the false. The two old parties are
again preparing for a sham battle to
attract the peoples attention from the
paramount issues of the day Republic
cans will take up the issue of expansion;
the Democratic party the issue of anti
expansion; and will some citizen of the
United States please enlighten me as
to what particular benefit the surrender
ing or holding of the Philippines will
be to the American people?
They are but a bone of contention to
divide the people and keep them from
deciding upon more vital questions.
Protection vs. free trade, the political
bugaboo Of yore can no longer be parad-
cd before the people as the all-import-
ant question, therefore another must be
devised. Can you not see the false
and specious intentions? l am opposed
to expansion, but l am not SO blind as
to vote against it to the exclusion of
other and more vital issues.
Let lis enumerate few questions of
more vital import to the people: First,
shall the national banks control and
issue the money of the people? Second.
shall the trusts and combines control
and manipulate the markets and manu-
facturies of the country. forcing out all
individual competition? Third. shall
lobbyists control state and national leg
islation, or shall the people pass the
laws by the process of the initiative and
referendum?
The Republicans and Democrats are
controlled by the same factions. l am
done with them forever. Were I like
