The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1876-01-13
THE OF d JUDAS AND YOUNG.

Judas sold out his Redeemer for thir-
ty pieces OF silver; but there is no record
in the Holy Book that he afterwards re-
turned and claimed a share of the clothes
OF his victim; or that he sought to direct
the counsels of the infant Christian
Church. No; he went like gentleman
and hanged himself.
But then he got but thirty pieces,
while H. II. Young received 5000 in
greenbacks, worth within a traction OF
the price of silver If Judas had got
200 pieces there is no telling what he
might have done. We must make al
lowance also for the primitive condition
of society and the undeveloped condi-
ton OF the human mind in Mr. Iscariot's
time. As Hosea Bigelow remarked:
"They didn't know everything down
in JUDGE"
Mr. Young could teach Judas lessons
After having done his utmost to destroy
the Anti Monopoly party and turn its
votes over to the Republicans be is now
solicitous that it shall never revive.
Joseph Goar, Esq, an able and intluen-
tial citizen OF Rice county, writes him
letter upon the political situation, in
which he says:
Now, what shall We dol Support tie Re-
publican party, as you suggest, Would it
make it better, when We know its specie basis
policy: in direct opposition to our principles:
and W hith, il carried out, will ruin millions OF
| people spread devastation and ruin all over the
land. That party has already about bankrupt

publican party during the last fifteen wears
And. further, | will say, Il YOU have often

party ate just as guilty and deserving of con-
domination the Republican leaders, and
| henceioIth shall not cast a vote to build up
either while they advocate such principles a.
they now do.
AIN surprised at You for not wheeling into

Industrial Advocate, Weekly Worker, Indus
trla. Age, and host OF other papers and able
speakers, that are all urging the people 10
abandon the old parties and join IN an ludepen-
dent Anti Monopoly party.
To which Young replies:
But Il, il not he understood from this. tina,

contest altogether a. party organization.
That is to say, he wants the Indepen.
dents to form no party organization.
but TO dissolve. absquatulate and blow
up. And he thinks that is the wises,
way to make their power felt. He
thinks Bremerhaven dynamite ex-
plosion of the Anti Monopolists woulC
consolidate them and make them re.
spectacle. And then he says:
Let them organize their forces thoroughly
and clearly enunciate their principles, ant
even azrse upon possible candidates for th'
Presidency and Vice Presidency.
How are they to do al. this without /;
party organization.- Or perhaps
Young will illuminate their platform ant
select their candidates.
After having done this let them demand 0
the other parties an uneouivncal endorsement
Of their principles and pledge to reduce then
to practice as far as nay become feasible.
How gracefully Young hangs that tai
to his kite. The Republicans are to re
duee Anti-Monopolist principles to prac
tice-1s far as mng jscone TeasiJle.n
