roads across the continent, and with all
branches and feeders created a wealth in
corporations and individuals to degree be-
fore unheard of in this or any other country,
and brought all these interests substantially
into the Republican party, and if any stayed
in the Democratic party they were in con-
federation with the same class to so arrange
politics that whichever party came in power
capital in all It's varied and most powerful
forms would be sure of its control, and the
people be ground up as "between the upper
and neither millstones." Thus it will be
readily seen, and he who runs may read thai
the Republican party IS a party of monopoly
and of cooperate interests in every form of in
dustry and every department of business and
finance. The anti-monopolists can expect
nothing from the Republican party for the
reasons stated. The rich men are the own
ers of monopoiies or their paid attorneys.
WORD FOR WOMAN.
General Butler then criticizes the course
of manufacturers in employing children and
women at low wages in places formerly oc.
cupied by men. If the laborlng woman had
the ballot she would be able with the assist
ance of her husband, father and brother to
right this wrong, but being denied it she be-
comes virtually a slave. Employ women If
you will and must, but let it be at the same
remunerative wages when they do the same
work as men, so they may at the earliest mo-
ment release themselves from thu aldom.
The Republican party has released the col
ored man from bondage and given him the
ballot for his protection. Why, in score of
years since has not that party by The same
species of class legislation saved the white

g.. HIS PLAN OF FIGHTING.
General Butler then discussed the princi-
pies of bis resolutions and says that as 1t is
clear that the workingmen can ge: nothing
from either of the old parties, they should
declare their independence and stand to-
gether, thus just share of the fruits of
labor will be theirs. No monopolist cares
which party wins. He is only anxious that
the nominating convention of each party
should nominate a candidate whom he can
control. Thus are the people played with
and kept spart by the fetish called "party
allegiance" ever bound to the chariot wheels
Of their oppressors. What, then, Is the
remedy for these monstrous evils How can
the people, the true Democracy, repossess
themselves of their government to make
laws to protect their own interests and TO re-

derers to disgorge their robberie, from the
treasures? Organize in every State and pre-
sent at the polls an electoral ticket and sup
port it with your votes. When the word
"organize" is used at once springs up to the
mind the political machines which have been
created; caucuses and conventions, and del
egates who can be bought and sold in the
market like sheep, the contrivances by which
the peoples enemies have conspired to take
away their rights by that word. | mean
nothing of that sort. Organize in your
workshop; agree to vote together for one
ticket. There need be no great and respon.
sive meetings. You can vote together with
out a brass band just as well as you can with
one. Torchlight professions are sn inven-
ton Of your enemies to drive you into fol-
lowing their banners and marching to their
music, into not voting for your interests and
the interests of your wives and children.
SOW THAT YOU MAY REAP.
Therefore, let the people stand together
and vote together, and SOW the seeds Of
great and victorious party. If not at this
election at the next. If you do not sow now
you cannot reap then, nor is it at all not Ger
tain that the seed has been sown and will
fructify by your votes into a substantial, If
not complete, victory at this election. He
