their occupations in other localities where
there is demand for their labor
II Is no, improbable that under the opera
tion of wise legislation and the influence Of
natural laws the relations between labor
and capital will soon become normal, and
thus the cause Of the present troubles being
removed the grievances which now cause so
much dissatisfaction will be remedied.
As soon as this happens the labor party
will disappear as useless and uncallcd for.
The movement is founded upon TEN.
pOrary and evanesccnt condition Of affairs,
and can endure but Tor short season.
II is great pity that the honest work.
ingmen of this country have been deluded
into this movement by the teachings Of
European Communists. Such ideas are uol
adapted to this country Of equal laws and
equal rights. II is, moreover, o very grave
mistake for laboring men TO suppose thai
their interests are different In any way from
those Of all other classes of citizens. 1t is
true the laborers are suffering, but so is cap
ital likewise. II is in many cases receiving
no remuneration, and in hut few is IL profit
ably employed. The interests Of labor ant
capital are inscparably connected, ant
nothing but evil can come from the organ
ization OF party which proposes to array
them against each other. Such movemen
is in conflict with all the principles of sount
political economy, and not at all in accor,
with the sturdy common-sense characteris
tic of the American people.

that while the greenbackcrs are, in their own

istcrinp the finances Of the country, many OF

can give him valuable support without breaking
