FROM Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2, 1875.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2, 1875.
To the Editor Of the woRKNsMANs ADVOCATE
| noticed communication in your issue
of the 31st Of July, signed Z" Greenback, i"
which l intended to have replied to ere
this, but for some cause it escaped my
memory.
Greenbacks truly remarks, "that
the leaders of the old parties are willing
to bury the Ratchet and smoke the pipe of
peace, prOrided they can secure all the fat
jobs and coy berths for themselves. :"
Then he asks, lis it not time, Mr. Editor,
that these things ceased to exist T. pre-
sumo "Greenback" and all honest working
men would answer in the affirmative, and
there let the matter drop, without making
an effort TO change the existing state of
things. Not so with the bankers and poll
tlciaHs ; they are organized, and always
on the alert, plotting and laying plans
now they can the more eiectuaIIY ensIave
and rob the masses. This they could not
DO without the aid and cooperation of
"orklngmen. The present state of things
VIII never cease to exist under q govern
ment Of the people such as ours. until the
workingmen Of America arouse from their
slumbers and shake off MEDITERRANEAN .
IN all that pertains to their political and
numerical strength.

productions Of labor for purposes Of specu-
latIon. Is NJ better, and the reason why
all these are securely perpetuated upon

educated at their expense.
The working classes must learn that
they alone pay all the taxes. They are
constantly creating. while the drunes are

There is no good reason why working
men should not control the political desti-
MES Of this nation, until we reach the
highest planes attainable in integrity, hon
esty, and political virtue, the same as we
are now acting and fast approaching in
chicanery, robbery, and political prostitu-
ton and Why don't we do it We have
no hesitancy in charging it all to the in
differentism in workingmen themselves.
What is to prevent US from organizing
to counterfeit the evil influences Of these
politicians that we complain of Nothing
bet indifference. by q very simple exer-
ton we could control political =" conven-
tons, make platforms, and smash po-
htical States, not as an independent po-
litical party, however, but by performing
our duties in existing parties

prince Of showmen, intends opening his new
Museum Myers Opera Housed on Monroe

amusement lovers of Chicago frequented no
place in our city, with such zest, as Woods
Museum" and we are pleased to learn that
he intends to maintain his well-earned repu-
tation. A cursory glance at the curiosities
already in place and the preparations made
for the reception Of others, convinces us that
it will become, as of old, the centre of Chi.
cago's attractions. In addition to these At
fractions, first-class dramatic company has
been engaged, and one Of cosiest theatres in
our cities reprinted and remodeled to accom-
modate its theatre-going public Messrs
Van Fliet and Marsh, both of whom are well
known to Chicagoans, have been engaged as
manager and treasurer. The success Of the
Museum is assured.
