This campaign is yours, 1t Is for
your families, and your action at the
polls in October and November will
give evidence of the fact whetherOr
not you care more for your wives and
children than for mere party. What
is your situation now? If you have
employment, does the mere pittanee
you receive for your hard labor suf-
fee to furnish you with the nccessa-
ries of life? Are you able to raise
money enough at the end Of every
month to pay your rent without de-
priving your children of bread?
Now is the time for action, Let
your voices be raised for a change let
your yotes.be cast for change. Re
form isthei watchword, and to effect
reforr a change In administration
seliAA
cannot be made any verse under the
guidance Of Uncle Sammy Tilden
than it is to-day, and you have the
assurance of history that change of
rulers after a panic always restored
confidence and brought good times in
its train,
Can you longer hesitate? Look at
your fellow men, in great numbers,
discharged every day. Look at Al
toona where the Penn's r. r. Co, has
been compelled to discharge over If
teen hundred men within the past two
weeks, and the end is not yet, A
hard Winter is approaching, and if
the demand for n change is not rati-
fed at the polls, woe bctidc the suf-
fercr During the past three years
you have hardly mademoney enough
to keep soul and body together, and
if Hayes is elected it will be but a
continuance of the present admins
tration, present hard times, and
thieves in office.
Laboring men, give this matter
your attention! JTjrcs ofteJoHing men,
enlist IN the .fgLG. persuade your hus-
binds to cast one ro'e far you and yo,r|
children. Give them to understand
that they have voted for party, low
wages and starvation long enough.
We take the following extract from
a speech delivered by Senator Thur
man, at Canton Ohio, Sept. 18th,
1876. Read and reflect.
"And, mark it, a people who fail
to condemn corruption, invite and
sanction its continuance; a people
who fail to relieve themselves from
unjust and onerous laws, tamcly sub.
init to be the subjects of tyranny; a
people, who make animosity, hatred
and narrow, sectional feelingsu
full stepping-stones to place and pow
ed, undermine at the same time their
peace and prosperity and the pGrpet-
uity of their Government. What
right have YOU to complain of corr
ruption if you voluntarily and know
ingly prolong the power of the cor
ruptionists? What right have you
to complain of bad laws, if you con.
tinue in office the very men, or their
abettors, who made and maintain
them? Whatright have you to groan
under the oppressive taxation if you
will not apply the remedy when you
have it in your own hands? With
what face can you complain of hard
times, if you, year after year, elect
and rc-elect the very men whose pol
icy, legislation and rule have con-
tributed so much to bring your suffer
ing and distress upon you? And how
can you deplore the existence of ami
mosities aud hatred among the pco-
pie and ill-will between the different
sections Of the Republic, if you re-
ward with the high and Influential
offices in your gift the very instiga-
tors of these animosities, hatred and
ill-will? But now let us look, as far
as our limited time will permit, into
the details of some of these matters
to which | have in general terms re-
ferrcd."
