and South; and il need be to drive
that bate to the extent Of civil war,
rather than permit the issues on finance
aud currency to come before the peo'
pie. Are the Western Democracy
going to allow themselves to be
whipped into tho party traces by their
Eastern drivers acting in behalf Of the
interests Of the gold bugs CT Wall Street
and tho old man in Grammercy Park
Out on such schcmiug and'such caucus
government Of parties by which the
Western Democrats in the House Of
Representatives werc either completely
deceived, or wcrc driven by the party
lash to do that which Stevens and q
pendle,on, as we'll as tho Cincinnati
Enquirer condemned at first in meas.
urcd terms. Good may yet result,
however, to tho country from this iu-
vestigating Of frauds; as the reputa.
tons Of both the old parties arc 10 u
fair way to become hopclcssly ruined,
and the way to tue hearts Of the people
thus opened for tho National Party.
But these old party tricks arc observed;
they cannot be concealed longer from
the penetrating gaze Of the voters who
have felt hard times aud now know
both the cause as we'll as the only cor
rect means Of obtaining relief by the
proper use Of the ballot.boxes. The
followers Of these hard money fends, $50
full Of deception and all manner Of
wickcdness, will soon bc confined 10
the blind party worshipping ..fcw--thc
hide.bouud zealots who live in the pas,
rather than in the prescnt-and who
do not or eau not comprehend tha. na-
tiOns like individuals do not stand still,
but must either advance or retrograde.
The all important questions Of finance
and currency-,he true issues in tho
coming canvass, aud iu all succeeding
ones, till finally settled 10 The Interests
Of the mass Of our people-which they
are both endeavoriug thus to ovade,
will prove the death knell Of both the
old parties; for on these questions tho
opinions Of voters Can not be controlled
by party lines aud party discipline, be-
cause these parties were not formed ~
reference to such issues. Mems opin,
ions on these subjects are determined
by their occupation and business 10
life. The issues are fully made u9 and
now joined between tue people on the
one side and the Money Power on The
o.her-bc,wven Labor and Capital
and it cannot longer bo disguised OF
kept in the back ground by all the
sueers. libels aud clap.trap nonsense
now being daily hawked over tho land b.
subsidized power, to fool the ,imil ant
unwary, and persuade them to act con-
trary to their own best interests. Hence
the necessity ofthe pcopla's. party. The
National party which flashes the ray
Of its rising sun over the ruins Of th'
Democratic and Republican parties
both alike become corrupt after tht
accomplishing Of their respective mis-
siOns, aud now fast loosiug tho conf
dcuco Of tho people, arc soon TO become
things Of the past; good enough il
their time, but that time will soon b.
40 more.
The National party was created BY
mere force Of circuustances-to cx
ecule the will Of tho people, and secure
our country from the great peril ii
which it has been placed by th'
enemies Of all FREQ governmen,-th'
money power and grasping mOnopOlies
