The editor of the National Labor
Tribune Of Pittsburg makes Shupe
the following offer: 1--WE are willing
to subscribe for ten thousand copies.
of the Advocate, provided the paper
be sent us imprinted in the bundles in
| which it is received from the manu-
facturer, and that security be given
there shall be no sudden discontin-
uance after the Fall elections. If this
offer be accepted, we have a sure
thing on saving $500 a year on our
paper bills"
The editor of the Advocate shows
the cloven foot sooner than many ex-
pected. He pledged his delegation to-
form and candidate, and then fastened
to show to the world how much his
pledges are worth by attacking the
platform, and hurling at it the monop-
oily press epithet, "RepudiatiOn." :
This he has done in the two last num-
bers of the Advocate. Thus he takes
the stand squarely and openly with
the enemies of our movement.
The National Greenbackers are pre-.
pairing to make a onslaught on Messrs-
Hale and Frye, of Maine, and the in
dications are that one of the hottest
fights of the campaign will be on that
part of the line. There is a large
Greenback and National elements in
both districts, which it is proposed to
nurse carefully. Voorhees, is going
down there. and probably Ewing.
Colonel Daniels, a well-knOwn Vir-
ginia Greenback stump speaker, has
arrived in Frye's district, and will
Immediately take the stump for Solon
Chase.
The National party is the party of
the future of this country. 1t carries
elections every time voting has to be-
done. Nashville, Chattanooga, and
Memphis, Tennessee. have wheeled
into line and given an impetus to the
party all over the nation. Maine will
be in line before September, 1873. is
numbered with the months of the
past. Then the October and Novem--
ber states will join their notes of Ma
tional triumph with the states that
have gone before. Go forward in the
! work of organizing the people into
the defense of the rights of humanity.
Success iScertain in the near future.

An interesting programme. The
Terre Haute Express says that "the
Treasury Department has SO arranged
our bond contracts that it will take
over seven thousand millions Of dol
lars to pay the debt of two thousand
millions. We have already paid the
debt once in interest. and those who
come after us are to be given the
privilege of paying it once in fifteen
years, leaving the principal yet to be
paid" That is the programme; but
the National Greenback- Labor party
proposes to alter it considerably.
The party of the republic-the edi-

"A currency based on nothing" is
what the hard-panners' call the money
which we demand the government
shall iasue. Well. there are the.
bonds; over two billions dollars worth
of them are out. Ask bondholder-
what is their basis. "The credit,
honor. and resources Of the nation,"
he will answer. And that's all the
basis we want. If it's good enough
for two billions in bonds, who on
earth-except bondholder-can pre-
sent reason for it's not being good
enough for two billion dollarsi

strikes and violence as un-American,
and spoke of the ballot as being quite
sufficient to redress. But the Wash
ingtOn Capitol thinks the idea absurd
in the face Of the theft Of the presi-
dency and Of the multitude Of election
frauds perpetrated unblushingly and
allowed to pass unrebuked. Il
quotes as an instance the Baltimore
election following last s0wmer's
strikes. mo one questioned ut the
Labor party won at the polls, but
they lost in the count" The Capital
concludes thus:-"No othing indicates

tame submission to wrong. Violence

these political thimble-riggers should
be forced to reap what they have
sown. Then violated the ballot for
their ends. and We, for ours, win vjo-
