Working men of the North, will you,
can You endure this infamous work Do
you not see that the perjured, pIundering.
Constitution breaking, law -defying gang
called Congress, is striking at your rights
at your freedom, at your dearest interests,
through reconstruction.
There has not been a single act of legis-
lation, single measure passed in Congress
that has not been aimed at you.
1t is you that the National Banks are
feeclng.
1t is yonr families who are made to suf-
fer, that the South may be Africanized aud
converted into wilderness.
1t is out of your pockets that the taxes
to pay the interest on untaxed bonds is
paid
Nearly one-half you labor is mortgaged
for the support ofa privileged class.
Your loaf of bread is the cents, because
the South, instead Of contributing to the
resources of the country from the fertile
soil, Is drag and tax upon your industry.
Look into Radicalism, and you viii! find
in it the true cause of all the poverty all
the misery, all the wrongs from which the
whole country Is now suffering.
The remedy is in your hands, and the
time is Fastening on when it can be applied.
Organize and be prepared for the day of
action, the day on which you can settle all
sources with the party of ruin and anarchy,
the party which seeks to maintain its pow
er through the sacrifice of every right and
principle vindicated in great revolution.
Organize for the salvation of the Repub-
lie, and rescue it from beastly, degrading,
mongrelism.
Organize to save this land for white men,
and make it the white mans Inheritance.
Organize to protect yourselves and fam
lies from the conspiracy of an unconstitu-
tioDal Congress, and from the nefarious de-
signs of an unprincipled bondocracy.
Organize for the emancipation of eight
millions of our own race and blood, from the
most CALLING, crushing, binding despOtism
ever inflicted upon a people.
Think Of what they are to-day suffering
Think of their ruined homes, their vast
fields, their PROSTATE trades, their thousands
of proverty y-stricken orphans and Widows
Think of the fate with which they are
menaced. Think of the outrages perpetra-
ted by half savage race, instigated to
their deviltries by Radical friends and cut
throats. Think of this, and resolve in your
hearts that the accursed party which has
brought this woe, which has brought this
flood of evils upon this land, shall when
the day of retribution come, be crushed in
to the earth, under the tread of your tri-
umphant majorities. .-Metroplitan Record
