All Attend.

Editor Representative: l am glad tC
resentative, call has been made for a
meeting of farmers, to be held in Min
neapOlis on June II and IL.
For one expect to be there, and hope
to meet a large number of old time
workers in the Alliance cause.
1t is pleasant to realize that my past
work in the Alliance has been such that
those who best know me still have con-
fidence enough in me to urge my calling
meeting in connection with Brother
Long. We both hope to continue in the
list of earnest workers. We feel salts
fed to have the call made by two such
well known workers as Rahilly and
Hopkins, and trust large number OF
farmers will be in attendance, and some
positively practical action taken to re-
organize the farmers.
l can frankly state l have no hobby
as to form of organization and hold
myself ready to do all in my power tC
nelp the Work along upon any practlca
plan that may be adopted.
If all who attend the meeting are
guided by motives that seek to earnest
ly do something practical in the way Of
organizing, and adopt form of organ
iZation that, isc now needed, there is nc
question as to the success of our efforts
There is greater need of cooperative
effort upon the part of the farmers today
than ever before. Let us do all in oul
power to formulate a plan that will
| meet that need and there will be nc
question but the farmers will take uI
with it rapidly.
Let us have a grand meeting. AL
| who possibly can should attend.

money and he who will dare attack that
let him beware of our guns, for we
should have peace upon that point il
we must fight for it.
Now, Maben, would request you to
read that book entitled Bond and In
dustrial Slavery" by Editor Twitcheli.
and also American Peoples Money" by
the late Hon. Ignatius Donnelly; and,
also, pray that God will give you grace
enough so you can see the truth as in
such books contained.
Sincerely yours,

Maben Should Subside.

Editor Representative: Mr.. Maben' s
proposition reminds us of couple with
whom we are acquainted. sensible
young girl after desperate courtship,
was induced to marry fool, believing
him to be smart boy, for, as all know,
half-wit is the most cunning being on
earth.
Later it began to dawn upon her that
her husband was deficient in his mental
faculties. But he was cunning and de-
ternined to counteract this. He would
go to a neighbor and tell her some smart
lie or give some advice in business
which, if followed, would be detrimental
to the man. He would then go home
and tell his wife of it, this would regain
her affection and she would go and tell
of it. This, at last, became too monot-
onous. And one day a somewhat blunt
but honest fellow said: Madam, l don't
wish to injure your feelings, but l am
forced, out of respect for you as a wo-
man, to tell you that your husband is
a fool and you are foolish in telling OF
his folly and imbecile tricks The
truth suddenly dawned upon her and
she up and said she always thought he
was fool, but now knew he was a fool
and d-n fool at that. The moral
of this is, under the present condition
which we might call universal poverty
men can be found who through suffering
will defend our present system. l hold
Mr.. Maben in high esteem as a man and
his writings show. him to be a gentle.
man. But when he undertakes to wor-
ship idol before Christians and friends
he should be crucified between Dick
Croker and Mark Hanna, and if he still
pursues his course l fear some of the
contributors of the Representative may
lose their temper and a personal fight
follow, and 1, for one, don't wish to see
such in the Representative, as they are
always mean and not interesting. |
would also request that they turn him
over to us, as we never lose our temper
only with religious or racial bigot,
and Maben is neither of these. In the
year A. D. 221 gold was made the only
legal tender in tRe Roman empire and
the result was falling prices, general
depression for agriculture and fat
harvest for the fioney lenders-just as
our own country is today.

time of Solon, all covered with mort

A Sensible Letter,


The contest between capitalism and
pauperism can be illustrated as two
trains, running with a speed of 80 miles
an hour, on the same track toward each
senting capitalism is shouting: Get out
of our way; we have got the best en-
gine, a good machine of the latest i'm
proved construction, we'll creased, and
we can easily ditch your old rafting
engine"
The engineer on the proletarian train
is shouting back in defiance: Keep on
with your mad run. You have robbed
us of everything worth living for and
even if we are all going down to de-
struction, you shall at least share our
fate" az
The majority of people would have
no serious objection to allowing the two
classes of anarchists to destroy each
other if it was not because we are all
passengers aboard the two trains. Some
of the passengers are saying an Ave
Maria or the Lords Prayer; others want
to have one of the trains switched into
a platform built of old, rotten tariff and
free silver planks, but more cool-head-
er persons who have studied the situa-
ton want to have the engines reversed
the brake put on and the safety valves
thrown open.
The safety valves are Populistic or So
cialistic principles. To the American
plutocracy belong the honor of having
established the first Socialist govern
ment in the world. Our present govern
ment is a radical plutocratic socialism
and the political battles to be fought in
the future will be between plutocratic
Socialists and Social Democrats.
Whatever the names Of the two oppos-
ing political parties of the future may
be does not cut any figure. If Socialism
is such a blessing to the classes who
now enjoy it, why should it not be the
same to the masses?
The plutocratic Socialists have point
have to follow. If the government can
lend money to bankers at two per cent
interest, without and other security
than government debt, it can also lend
money to people who can give security
in real estate at the same rate of in
terest. If the government can furnish
investments for idle capital and Offices
for the tools of plutocracy, it can also
furnish employment for the unemploy-
ed labor. If the government can furnish
steamboats, free of charge to transporta-
ton companies and railroad grants to
railroad companies to value of many
times what it costs to build the road,
it can also build, own and operate
steamboats, and railroads, and provide
the people with cheap transportation.
If the government can establish stand
ard value ON gold and furnish the mine
owners with buildings to store it in, free
of charge, it can also establish stand
ard values on all other produce from the

A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY.

The leading article ON our front
acy against the farmers that has NO
parallel in Western history. Trusts
have been formed to extOrt exOrbi-
tant prices from all consumers alike,
but here is unearthed conspiracy
between railroad corporations aud
the old line elevators to compel the
farmer to sell his wheat to the eIe-
vatOr combine at any price they may
offer. Here Is a conspiracy to prevent
farmers from shipping wheat on their
own account entirely. The thing fs
to be accomplished in two ways. Rail-
roads will not furnish cars to farm
ers farmers elevators and they
will not allow farmers to build ele-
vatOrs along their tracks. Farmers
are the doomed victims of this dia-
bolical scheme IL they do not move,
take action and act at Once.- The Min
neapolis June IL farmers convention
is the crucial event of this year, 1901.
Every farmer in Minnesota should
leave his fields and be here at that
meeting. Read this great conspiracy
copied from the Orange Judd Farmer,
read the calls tor the June II con-
ventiOn signed by p. H. Rahilly and
Chas. III. Hopkins, presidents of their
respective farm organizations. read
and consider the plan of organization
adopted at the last Grain Growers
your neighbOrs the Importance of this
meeting, pass this paper around and
do not fail to be present ut this farm
ers' convention. Farmers must have
open field and fair opportunity to sell
their wheat to the consumers in open
market. 1t is time that railroads
guilty of being party to such cOnspfr-
under public ownership. 1t is time
that old line elevators be driven out
of business. Trusts are annihilating
jobbers and other useless middlemen
from the top. Let farmers organize
and from the bottom wipe out the
elevator combines and other middle
men who are rObbing them, and when
Greek meets Greek then comes the
tug of war. When midd1emen have
been reduced to minimum consist
ent with the necessities of economical
distribution of the worlds products,
then let farmers join issue in the final
battle and nationalist the trusts I'm
the interests of all the people.
The beginning of a mighty move
ment lies before this Minneapolis
convention. You are needed. You
are needed every hour.

RESCUED FROM A DEN OF THIEVES.
The United States supreme court has
decided that the constitution does not
follow the flag.
In this case the courts decision rested
more upon the evidence than upon law.
Abundant evidence shows that our
foreign possessions, Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines, are infected with
a gang of corporation and administra-
ton thieves and the court has very wise
ly decided that it was not safe place
for so precious and important a docu'
ment as our national constitution.
They have saved the constitution from
a den of thieves. They should next res
