WoRKlNoMRN should remember that
outside the two great political organiza'
tions ofthe country they can accomplish
nothing in the way Of reform No re,
form is possible elsewhere. Even should
they succeed in getting a few members
in our Legislature or into Congress, these
would have to unite with one OF the TWO
parties to get anything done ; and that
would tend to produce a union, and thus
merge the faction into one ofthegreat par
ties. Men with good and laudable mo-
tiyes sometimes foolishly throw their
strength away, perhaps defeating their
real friends and giving victory to their
enemies. Citizens, then, desiring reform
may accomplish some good within one
of the two parties, but outside none what
ever. Besides, take the country over, no
distinction is yet possible between work
ihgmen and nonworkers. The idea lheh'
that a workingman's political organiza'
ton, as such, is possible, is simply pre-
posterous. Professional men, merhants,
&C., as a rule, are working men; and
work hard in their respective lines OF la
Dor, and it will not do to treat them as
wholly unworthy ofpreper consideration
In fact, a distinctive line is not possible
