Eearuey, the Communist agitRtor,
made speech last Monday evening at
Lynu, Massachusetts,. After abusing
the newspapers because, as we suppose,
they no longer give heed 10 his ravlDgs,
he said Snow, here is the whole thing
in Bu shell ;orgaEize a political party.
Will yer do itl [Cries of yes. yes. ]
: You don't want TO cay this here anu
then back out afterwards. We went
the workingmen of this country not to
be fooled any longer by the whisky
toned orators that will be sent by-and-
by up aud down the State TO address
you. We don't expect to see you men
listening 70 any of these internal vaga-
bonds. Men Of ability, the intelligent
mechanics are better able TO
DISCUSS ALL THE GREAT QUESTIONS
Of the day than all tue men that have
disgIaced the F0rty-6fth Congress,
with the exception of Ben Butler. Zap
plause Bear in mind that the repub-
lie ia in danger. Grant is making all
the necessary preparation to capture
this republic and turn it into an en-
pire, backed up by the monorolists
and bank smssheTs of this country.
These men think their $50 pieces will
Brighten the people, but the men who
did the fighting and shooting will net
be fooled in the future. They will not
submiv to the dictation of any man.
This is not q one man movement, nor q
ten men movement; it is a general up
rising of the honest, industrious mt n
of this republic. This Is q plain fact,
end the sooner it is understood the
better. 1t Is a battle between honest
men and thieves. Applause The
sooner the people become advised of
the fact the better. Consequently we
beg and impiore of you only pool your
issues Pay your poll taxes; you may
not be called upon to pay them again
this time you must pay them. The soon
er you agitate The prOpriety of calling a
constitutional convention In Massschu-
setts the sooner will the bird of liberty
begin to fly and flap its wings for free
dom. Poll tax paying in free coun-
try Why do men have to pay for the
privilege of voting in free country9
all you have to do is to agitate agi-
tate agiiate until you have called a
constitutional convention. See that
You pay your poll tax; be prepared to
meet the lecherors bondholding thief
when he comes to the polls. Your vote
is Just as good ss his when deposited
IN the interest Of honesty and Justice.
lApplause. Will you do it2 Yes,
yes. Will you rally around the stand
ard OF freedom and liberty2 Yes,
yes shouted the crowd. Then see
that you do II; see that you here in
Lynn will poll majority for Ben But
Ter, as you have been pleased to name
him as your candidate. [Cheers The
other parties will be so badly democrat
lied that they never can show their
hoary heads again when honest men
are called together. Applause. /
expect, however, to see
THE DEMOCRATIC THIEF AND REPUBLI-
CAN RoBBER
af2lause l-'poOl their issues , their
interests are identical, all one and the
same. The leaders of the Democratic
and Republican parties meet behind
the curtain and divide the spoils.
tCheers. Then expect you will JOIN
hands and bid defiance to these men.
If these do what hope they will, they
Viii mark themselves with piece of
chalk they are of the same class as the
men in California, some of them; they
forgot to crop their ears off, and so
they got all mixed up again, aud when
the election was over they could not
be separated; they could not be told
one from the other, reminding me of q
story OF y man who had four wives.
A man was fortunate enough to have
four wives, but all four of them died,
and he buried them in one grave. At
last il was decided TO remove the bury
ing ground, and be was called To move
the bones OF his dead wives. He pro-
cured the services ofan express wagon,
and put the bones of eaca wife into
corn On the way to the new grave
the horses rsn away, aud the bones in
the wagon became mixed, and some
of them few out. However, he mus
tered up courage enough to deposit ali
the bones IN one grave, and over it be
placed stone with the following in
hcriptiou:
stranger. panse snd drop tear,
For Vary Anu lies buried here;
And In some mysteriOas mann
