If these wise men Of the great" press
knew as much about it as they should,
they you'd follow out the logic Of tho pres
ent Conditions and interests and they
would tell the people that there will be
only one real railroad ownership. For that
is Just what is being developed. Then the
people will take the railroads, or build q
complete system of national roads and oper-
ate them for the benefit and safety OF the
public. May the day hasten when all the
roads shall come into one corporate man
agement. Only such condition will make
1t plain to the public that 1t must own and
operate them.-Appeal to Reason.
1t makes little difference what the
press tells the people concerning the
rapid progress of these railroad COM
bines. The wheels Of evolution are
rapidly turning and all these things
are coming no matter what the press
may say.
Ten years ago our reform press was
the greatest factor in the reform move
ment. Today such men as Morgan,
Rockefeller, Hill and Schwab are doing
the greatest work toward reaching the
final goal Of public ownership.
Our reform papers have set the ball
rolling. these men are now doing the

MIR. DONNELLY AND THE ALLIANCE.
The Alliance convention of June II

gratitude and appreciation of the life
work of the late Ignatius Donnellly in
behalf of the farmer. Near the close
of the convention the convention passed
and ordered published in the Representa-
tive the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we, members Of the
Farmers Alliance, at this, our first meet
ing since the death of our illustrious
brother and co-worker, Hon. Ignatius
Donnelly, give this public expression to
our HEARTBEAT appreciation of his SER

KEEP OUT OF DEBT.

Every summer from about June 1
to October 1 readers of this paper seem
to forget that it takes cash to run a
weekly paper. We realize that the
farmers busy season is largely respon-
sible for this. For several summers it
has been the custom of this. paper to
run up printing bills in anticipation of
fall collections. This practice of going
in debt every summer has always been
great annoyance. 1t is unbusiness-
like and unsatisfactory. We propose
from this date to discontinue the. prac-
tice We shall run no bills II money
comes in to publish paper each week
we shall publish it. II, upon our day of
publication the money is not ON hand
we shall let the paper go over to the
week following. We would prefer a
good paper published once in two
weeks and paid for, to paper issued
weekly and carrying big debt. No pa
per can be Independent and be In debt
No creditor will ever hold q string on
the Representative. Unless some Of
our readers shake OF their summer
drowsiness and send in their dollars
the paper will appear only once In two
weeks until after harvest, when the
work of farm organization will be Wig
orously pushed.
II one in ten of these subscribers in
arrears would pay up and pay a year in
advance, we would have money enough
to publish first class paper every
week. We would have money enough
to banquet Rockefeller, Carnegie,
Schwab and Morgan. and hire all the
plute papers to advertise those gentle
men as the farmers friends. We could

Public Oyvnership.

The Canadian Electrical News tries
to make out that the public ownership
Of telegraph lines has been a failure At
the close of an article on this subject
it states: 'The experience of the Bri-
tish government with the management
Of the telegraph system is not enc
courging, the receipts of the system be-
ing s2,0OO,000 below the expenditures,
Notwithstanding the large and con-
centrated population, and the enormous
volume of business. This result is. no
doubt, in measure due to the fact
that government employees have not
the same chance of promotion as have
those of private corporation, conse-
quently ambition is stifled, and a
check put upon efficiency"
These figures of the alleged annual
deficit of the British postal telegraph
appear to have been taken from the
statements of the Western Union Tele-
graph company. made some years ago
with dollars converted into pounds.
These are certainly no data for the
Canadian Electrical News assertion.
The British system has been in oper-
alton over 40 years, and five or six years
ago the British postmaster general re-
ported that for the previous 10 years the
profits of the combined post Office and
telegraph systems had been about 1885,
100000, after paying interest on the
enormous sum the government paid the
telegraph monopoly when 1t assumed
control. The deficit on the telegraph

GOVERNOR PINGREE.

Governor Pingree has fought his last
great political battle and has gone to
his final reward.
His name will always be associated
with the great movement now in pro-
gress toward public ownership of public
utilities. He was the most advanced
Republican of his time.
Public opinion will remain divided
concerning the wisdom of the man in
staying with his party years after he
had become entirely out of touch with
the party machine. For several years
Henry M. Teller followed the same
course, until finally at st. Louis he
bolted Republican convention. Bryan
has made two campaigns on the same
theory that man of strong personality
can accomplish the greater good by
remaining with his former associates
and making his fight there.
Governor Pingrees battles were
mainly local ones, in his own state of
Michigan, but the principles involved
were of national interest and the ma
tional authorities at Washington on
several occasions were guilty of rep
rehensible interference. Governor Pin
gree was expected to be one of the
central figures at the approaching De-
troit conference.
1t may be after all that these men
have acted wisely in standing within
their own party lines when others
deemed 1t folly. Much depends upon
the honesty of their purposes. II,
however. they are continually turned
down by their own party as were Tel
Ter. Stewart and Towne on the silver
question in congress. II Bryan has
reached the zenith of his influence
among Democrats it would seem about
time for all these men to break away
and flock together. When any of
these strong men can win more con-
verts to reform within their own party
than outside Of it they are doing well
where they are. The time comes, how
ever, when the reform leader reaches
the pinnacle of influence an begins to
lose his power.
Governor Pingree took no part in the
Buffalo conference, because at that time
he was known 70 have more faith in
eslleaniem than iaeay third parey.

FLUTES GETTING SCARED.

J. A. Wayland publishes the ablest So
cialist paper in this country. He Is
stirring up economic thought in a most
refreshing manner. The postal authori-
ties at Washington have got on his trail
and will from now on seek to wipe him
out. They fear the Appeal to Reason
with its 10000 circulation going into
every state. He has built up this cir
culation by sending packages of 100 pa
pers or more to workers who would dis
tribute them and send him subscriptions
This has put an immense number of the
Appeal in circulation where they have
set in motion what the constituted au-
thorities regard as dangerous heresies.
Wayland. The postal department has
notified him that hereafter bundles of
papers to one address cannot be mailed
at the regular 1 cent per pound rates.
Packages of papers must be stamped and
pay l cent for each four ounces.
Since the order was made Wayland has
sent for packages of several Republican
papers and these came at pound rates.
Wayland will ventilate the whole scheme
aimed at the small reform papers, but
predicts that reform press Is doomed.
He declares that there is yet little per-
iod of grace and during June he expects
to put out over million copies of the
Appeal and radical reform pamphlets.
Think Of the possibilities to be accom-
plished by the spread of 100000 copies
per month for a year of such little tracts
as Parable of the Water fank." It would
alone produce a revolution Of economic
thought.
At this rate, one million per month,
in one year nearly every American voter
could be reached. Wayland reaches
them, he reaches them hard and the
pfutes fear results of his work. A free
press No.
That little pamphlet Parable of the
Water Tank" can be had from this office
at 40 cents per hundred. 1t is corker
and every reader of this paper who is
able should send for 100 copies to throw
at his neighbors. This kind of knowl-
edge is spreading It is contagious. The
people call 1t Socialism. but. 1T is what
they are hunting for.
The people will have this literature
If Mckinley raises the postage to 81 per
pound.
When persecution of righteous cause
begins look out for the period of most
rapid growth. Socialism needs a little
free advertising to get its sheets well
into the mind. We wish Wayland the
greatest success.
