DEERWOOD, Minn., March 27, 1900
Editor Representative: The much dis
cussed question at present before the
Peoples Party is how best to reach the
old party voter, converting him to Pop
ulism. Any plan to meet the approval
Of all must combine two essentials:
first, cheapness; second, utility. 1 shall
therefore beg your kind indulgence and
present what believe to be the ideal
plan. Let all friends Of reform resolve
themselves into committee of one
to contribute and solicit voluntary con-
tributions. all contributions to be sent
as soon as received to the Representa-
tive Publishing Co. for the purposes of
printing and mailing a semi-monthly
pamphlet to old party names sent by
the one sending the contribution: such
pamphlet shall be issued at actual cost
and shall contain the boiled-down ar
guments Of Populism condensed in read
able form and shall be mailed until
the coming election. believe such
q pamphlet could be published and
mailed from now until election for the
small sum Of 10 cents per subscription,
This believe to be q more effective
way than sending out campaign speak

party voters to come out and IL you do
you cannot convert them unless he ia

"DAD FOsTER."~

Paul Dixon, Of the Missouri World,
quotes what we had to say in a recent
issue, in reference to the foul insinua-
tiOns Of L. D. Foster, that IL Mr. Barker
was elected president, and Mr.. Donnelly
vice-president, Mr.. Donnelly would
have Barker assassinated so he could
succeed to the presidency. AS there
was not any very strong probability
that Mr.. Barker would be elected presi-
dent and Mr.. Donnelly vice-president,
this was an unnecessary and gross in
suit; 1t was practically charging that a
prominent citizen Of this state was q
murderer.
Paul Dixon prefaces the extracts
which he quotes with the following:
In a recent issue Of this paper we pub
lished letter from L. D. Foster, Of Min
nesota- We noticed In 1t no insinuatiou
against the honor Of Mr.. Donnelly did not
know but what Foster and Donnelly were
friends. We hastily scanned the letter
over and thought 1t merely an earnest
suggestion az to line of action and can
didates. The reference to insurance pol
Icy. we remember, we did not clearly un-
derstand, did not study over the matter,
however, and had not the least suspicion
that Foster had q knife up his sleeve for
Donnelly. but Mr. Donnelly knows Foster,
apd is a better judge as to what con-
struction to put on his words. Will say
had we read it as Mr.. Donnelly does 1t
would not have found place in our columns,
for II we were president we would like to
have as high-minded and honorable q man
as Ignatius Donnelly for vice president. We
certainly would lose no sleep from fear OF
an unnatural death at the instigation OF
hand of the next in succession.
Fosters purpose was to blacken and
besmirch man who had never injured
him, and had always been his friend;
but instead, he has exposed his villain
GUS nature to the gaze of the whole

MARION BUTLER.

The position of Marion Butler is, al

turn him to the United States senate.
1t was by the Republican vote that he
was hrst elected to the senate.
He b carrying water on both should
ers and is ready to sell out all parties
for his personal profit. We quote the
following from an Oakwood, N. Y, cor
respondent, in the last issue OF the
Missouri World. According to this
stats0ent Butler avows his hostility to
Bryan 1T the very time that he is trying
to deliver the corpse Of the PEOPLES
party to him:
Marion Butler, in defining his position
soon after the election Of 1899. said:
Tne announcement now comes that Mr..
Bryan declares he will continue to fsi,t the
battle OF reform. 1t is WELL perhaps that
Ae will do 50. He Is an able leader and It
may be none can be found to equal him. But
great events can be evolved within the next
four years. and speaking now for the Peo-
pies Party Of North Carolina, and We be-
lleve for the nation, we take the liberty
OF serving notice on Mr.. Bryan that IL he
desires to head the reform forces Of the
People's Party In the next hght he must

GRACEVILLE. Mimi, March rs. 1900.
Hereditary bondsmen! know We not
that he who would be free must himself
strike the blow. Too long, farmers,
you have relied on the promises of ly-
ing politicians, who have brought you
to the verge of bankruptcy. 1t is now
time that you rise in your might and
unite your forces to fight the common
foe.
Within the last few years everything
you have had to purchase has advanced
from so to Is per cent, while your staple
product, wheat, has stood still.
These are the hardest times that the
farmers have experienced or seen for
the last 80 years. except the grasshopper
years, and it cannot be otherwise with
the high prices you have to pay for
what you use on the farm or in your
household. and the extremely low prices
you have to take: for everything you
bring to market.
The lying politicians and the hireling
daily press harped so much upon pros
perity that you thought it would be i'm
possible for you to escape the wave
Of prosperity that you heard was striik-
ing everywhere, but, alas, 80 far it has
not struck the farm. and, perhaps. after
all, 1t Is better that it has not. for those
whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad. and surely, surely the
trusts and combines are now raving mad
and are beginning to eat one another.
They have taught you that you must
rely on yourselves-on yourselves alone
and hence you are uniting with such
rapidity as was never. known before
among farmers.
Last Saturday evening I took the
train for Beardsley and found, waiting
for me there Mr.. Ditmer. a very intelh-
gent farmer. who drove me seven or
