FRED. HANGER, sec'y.
Here is another item:
st. Louis has three daily papers advocating
the election Of Peter Cooper
In Minnesota. the Record and Union of
Rochester, raises the Cooper ticket and
says Sept. 10Th.
twill be seen that in this number Of our
paper, we raise the banner Of the great Ma
tional independent party. We do this because
it has always been our proud aim to represent
and advocate the interests OF the working classes
Of the country. This is smphatically an in
duStriA age, and we are as emphatic1fly an in
dustrial people. This nation is without par
allel on the face Of the globe in this respect
There is no country where 60 much ofthe bone
and sinew, blood and brain Of the peopleis in
vested in industrial pursuits; NO country of
which the material resources. are, or ratherwere,
being so rapidly and successfully developed,
and therefore no country in which any unwise
interference with the circulating medium which
represents all these interests, could so mate
rally derange the prosperity Of the people ,,and
endanger the national existence. And vet no
country under the sun to-day was ever cursed
with 50 many financial schemes full Of disaster
and ruin to every interest of the people, as this
cOnntry groans under this very hour. And all
for the purpose Of accumulating power in the
hands Of few who happen in some OF the con-
tengencles OF commerce. or by "ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain" for which the
political Sins" of the country have of late been
|speculiar"-tO have accumulated money that
represents some one else's honest labor, more
commonly than their own. Every act OF fnan-
nancial legislation since the war has been di.
rected in the same invariable channel, of swell.
ing the profits and tightening the burdens Of
! the bondholders, and the inevitable result OF
such legislation has been to PROSTATE the in,
dustries Of the people, and at the same time tc
increase the cost Of the necessares Of life oths
consumer. And yet, although the countrl
audibly and visibly shows the signs of this de.
rangement ofits industries, although fully one
halt Of its laboring force is to-day wholly out OF
employ or working on short time;and although
its forges and spindles and all the countless
sorms Of its manufacturing enterprise, are lying
in almost utter paralysis, raceabie to the finan-
cial schemes lobbied through Congress by the
non-tax-paying army of bondholders, vet in
vain have the people looked for relief to any
action or promise OF action ON the part OF either
OF the two political parties Of the country.

cellent ticket
