Show appeal to the: laboring bi ex. The Portland, Maine, Monitor, an organ of the Workingmcn'a party, has a strong attack on tho national bank system, from which wo clip the following follow-ing appeal to laboring men, as indicative indica-tive of the aims of the party: Laboring men of the nation, be no more tho fools of the nation. Be no longer insensible to your strength and rightful privileges, like'the jack that bears tho collier's basket. You are entitled en-titled to something more, in this land, than mere food to support life, and shoddy raiment to oover nakedness, while rich men around you are clothed in purple and fine linen, fare sumptu ously every day, ami toil not, neither do they spin," Laboring men of the nation, organize, organ-ize, organize! in wards, in school dis-i dis-i tricts, in States, and in the Nation. If two or three only at first gather together, toge-ther, then will the blessings of a just cause bo with you; and accretion of numbers will surely follow, as sure as hours make days, and da3-s months, and months years, and years one immeasurable im-measurable eternity. Again lot me urge you to haoare of complication of purposes. The Symbol of the Cross is full of instructive wisdom wis-dom in its completo simplicity. Remember Re-member one monstrosity in your government gov-ernment feeds a thousand others, and in ending the' one, the death of all others will in time ensue. Quarrel not by the way-side with either Democrats or Republicans. Take their candidates for office, or let them take yours it matters not which if each be only reliably pledged to your one great work of relbrmiog, multiplying mul-tiplying and cheapening the currency of tho nation, and placing money and labor upon the sanio plane of equality. Be faithful in one thing, and you will become, in time, lords over many things. The sling of David is in your hands slay tho Philistine with it, "that all tlie earth may know that there is a God in Israel !"' |
