THE DISSOLUTION or THE OLD
PARTIES.

The leading politicians and newspa-
pers of the Republican party IN the
eastern states. and in portions of the
western states. declare that the OBJ
jpct Of the National GreenAack ,,arty
is to draw men from '.ih;ir party that
saved the nation and lian.i them over
10 the Democrats.
In the south, and portions of the
west. Democratic leaders charge that
the sole object Of the new orgsniza-
tion is to disrupt the Democratic
party and build up the Republican
party.
These leaders knew better than
this. They know all too we'll that the
Nationals have not come to pull down
either OF the parties in the interest
Of the other. They know full well
that both Of the old parties are fall
ing to pieces. That their dissolution
is near ut hand: and that the good men
of both are leaving them and uniting
together i'll new organization--not
for the purpose of building up one at
the expense of the other--not to
praise either Of the old parties--but
to bury them both out of sight.
In few years there will be nothing
left OF the old parties but the leaders.
who still prate about the GLORIOUS
names. hallowed associations, and
ancient glo'y of their respective par.
ties. Bat this is, even now, all that
is lett Of which they can boast. The
great issues, that gave dignity to the
plt' parties. and made them Il political
necessity and blessing to the coun
try. no longer exist. New issues
have sprung p which the old parties
cannot and Will not take hold of.
The eXigencies Of the times demand
new party. The principles of the
National party are in accord with the
great issues.
Let the politicians mourn. Their

figured up to a dot. You have 100
bones and 500 muscles; your blood
weighs twenty-five pounds; your heart
is nearly fiv. inches in length. and
three inches in diameter; it beats
seventy times per minute, 4 200 times

30. 122 600 times per year. At each

near as may be, and otherwise regula-
ting its value by wise and equitable
provisions Of law so that the rate of in
terest will secure to labor it's just re.
ward.
FIFTH 1t is inconsistent with the
genius of popular government that any
species Of private property should be
exempt from bearing its just share Of
the public burdens. Government bonds
and money should be taxed precisely
as other property, and a graduated IN
come tax should be levied for the sup
port of the Government and the pay
ment of its debts.
SIxTH-Public lands are the COM
mon property of the hole people, and
should not be sold to spectators nor
granted to railroads or other corpora
tons, but should be donated to actual
settlers, in limited quantities.
SEvENTH-The government should
by general enactments, encourage the
development of our agricultural, min
eral, mechanical, manufacturing, and
commercial resources, to the end that
labor may be fully and proitably en-
ploved, but 10 monopolies should be
legalized.
EIGHTH-All useless Offices should be
abolished, the most rigid economy ia
vored in every branch of the public SER
vice, and severe punishment inflicted
upon public officers who betray the
trusts reposed in them.
NTH As educated labor has de-
vised means for multiplying production
by inventions and discoveries, and as
their use requires the exercise Of mind as
we'll as body, such legislation should be
had that the number of hours of daily
toll will be reduced, giving to the work
ing classes more leisure for improve
ment and their several enjoyments, and
saving them from premature decay aud
| death.
TENTH The adoption OF an Amerl-
can monetary system, as proposed here
in, will harmonic all differences in re-
gard to tariff and federal taxation, re-
duce ard equalize the cost of transpor-
tation by land and water, distribute
equitably the joint earnings ct capital
and labor, and secure to the producers
of wealth the result of their labor and
skill. and muster out Of service the vast
army of idlers who, under the existing
system, grow rich upon the earnings OF
others, that every man and woman
may, by their own efforts secure com
