Let us suppose that you, my reader,
have been giving little attention to the
sayings and doings> of the labor men,
that you. have read and thought suffi-
ciently. on the subject to have a pretty
good general idea of their principles and
aims. and that you find yourself more or
less in accord with them; that still you
entertain some objections and difficulties
and your mind is in condition of doubt
and uncertainty. Now, let us suppose
you have among your acquaintance two
or three persons similarly disposed, and
that you invite them to meet you ex-
pressly to talk over the subject. Suppose
that, as aresult of your first meeting,
you are all sufficiently interested to wish
to meet for the same purpose again and
again, sometimes IN the apartments of
one and sometimes in those of the others.
Finally you meet regularly SAY once a
week-and from two OF three your num-
bers have increased to half a dozen or
more. In the meantime YOU have OBJ
tanned for yourselves and have read and
discussed together, or passed from one to
another. some labor literature. Perhaps,
also, you have thrown yourselves into
intercourse with some well-informed
labor advocate.

PUEBLO PEOPLE
The Party Has IL County convsn-
ton and Nominates q Ticket
Great Inthukiasm.

The Peoples Party Of Pueblo county
met in mass convention at the Pueblo
opera house, on Friday evening, October
10, and the meeting was called to order
at o'clock by Isaac NJ. Fletcher. char
man of the county committee.
Mr. Fletcher was chosen chairman oi
the convention, and P. d. Boucher sec
retary. The commodious house was
we'll filled and good order prevailed.
The first speaker of the evening was
]. C. Denny, mayor Of La Jpnta. he
entertained the convention with an in
terestlng discourse upon the political
issues of the day. He had always been
q democrat. but could not support Mr..
Cleveland. The arraignment of the two
old political parties met with frequent
applause.
The next speaker introduced was the
Peoples candidate for congress, George
W. Woy, Esq, of Boulder county, who
for two hours held the audience spell
bound. To say that his arguments in
favor of the new party are unanswerable
would be but simple justice to the gem
tleman. His scathing OF Cleveland,
who he said was elected governorof the
state of New York as an anti-monopo-
list, and then turned traitor and vetoed
every measure in the interest of the
worklngman that was passed by the leg
islature, was greeted with demonstra-
tions by the audience.
M. C. Dunn, of Pueblo, Peoples can
didate for secretary of state, made an
interesting speech. He dwelt particu-
larly upon the unjust determinations
in tax assessments in favor of large cor
porationsin Pueblo county.
At the close of Mr.. Dunn's remarks
the convention proceeded to the busi-
ness of nominating county ticket, with
the following result:
State Senator-John Downen.
Representatives. NJ. Fletcher, Dan
Maloney.-
County Commissioners-R. W. Morris,
Mr.. Sullivan.
County Assessor "A. II. jackson.
Some detail matters we're attended to
and the convention adjourned, highly
pleased with the results of its labors
and all present expressing the assurance
that the People will poll heavy vote IN
Pueblo county. p. II. BOUCHER,

But the chief beauty of the plan is
that course of education has been
mapped out and excellent text books

money solely from law, and not from the
commercial worth of the material which is
stamped. We have also shown that metallic
money is utterly impracticable for the numer-
Gus, vast and rapid exchanges in our ciyiliza-
ton, and that paper substitutes have been a
necessity; furthermore, that paper currency
based either on specie or Understanding
bonds has become intolerable
We have made clear by incontrovertibIe
facts and logic, that a currency made of the
credits individuals hold against the govern
ment, drawing no interest, but made legal
tender, answers every purpose of money in
the home exchanges OF a people. Such a
currency costs only the preparing and replen-
ishing the notes which are the evidences of
the credit. This currency represents labor
done by individuals for the government, or
the products of labor sold the government,
while National bank currency represents a
free gift of the government to rich corpora
tions, and behind it is no labor at all.
We have shown that such a currency was
used by Venice for centuries with marvellous
success, and also that we have given it par
tial trial, and, as far as tried, it has done for
rs what 1t did for the Venetian republic.
This system is represented and illustrated
by the greenbacks. Notwithstanding these
credits held by individuals were outrageous
ly crippled in the interest of Shyiock, they
sustained the nation through four years of
Sangumary war, Dullt tne racine rallrOad,z
inspired the unparalleled industry that fol-
lowed peace, and for twenty-one years have
proved far better currency than bank
issues. Just as soon as the secretary of the.
treasury ordered them received from custom
dues, they rose to par with gold and are now
equal to gold, not only in our own country
but in every capital Of Europe.
They now constitute much the largest part
OF the basis of our currency. The national
bank notes are redeeulable IN them.
These facts from our own history demon
strato the wisdom of Mr.. Jefferson,s noted
statement Bank paper must be suppressed, i
and the circulating medium must be restored
to the nation, to whom it belongs. It Is the
only fund on which they can reply for loans

The Duke and the Dude,

The following story is told ola Eng
lish nObleman. recently decea. ed" The
duke was once in church when collcc-
tion was announced for some charitable
object. The plate began to 60 round;
and the duke carefully put his hand into
his pocket and look out florin, which
he laid OH the pew before him. ready
to be transferred to the plate. Beside
him sat little snob. who. noticing this
action, initiated il by ostentatiously
laying sovereign alongside the ducal
form. This was too much for his grace,
who dipped his hand into his pocket
again and pulled out another form,
which he laid by the side of the first.
The little snob followed suit BY laying
another sovereign beside the first. His
grace quietly added a third form,
which was capped by Il third sovereign
on the part If the little sn0b.. Out
came fourth form to swell the duke $
donation, and then the little snOb
triumphantly laid three sovereigns. at
once upon the board. The duke, not
TO be beaten, produced three forms.
Just al this moment the plate arrived.
The little snob took up his handful Of
sovereigns, ostentatiously ratified them
into the plate, and then turned deiiantly
toward his rival Us if he would say, Il
think that takes the shine out of you.
Fancy his chargrin when the duke. with
a grim smile. put one into. the plate
and quietly swept the remainder into

In It's wild state the agami is not
peculiar for anything but its beauty, its
extraordinary cry, which has given it
the name of trumpeter. and for an odd
habit OF leaping with comical antics
into the mir, apparently for its own
amusement. When tanned, however,

for the well-bcing Of all that belongs to

liberty is permitted to take up its
quarters where it pleases. In the morn

charge home again.
Sometimes it is given the care Of a
flock of sheep; and. though it may
seem too puny for such task, it Is in
fact quite equal to it. The misguided
sheep that tries to trifie with the agami
soon has cause TO repent the expert
ment; for. with swiftness unrivaled
by any dog. the feathered shepherd
darts after the runaway, and with
wings and beak drives il back TO its
place, not forgetting to impress upon
the offender sense of its error by pecks
with its beak.
Should dog think to take advantage
of the seemingly nnguarded condition
of the sheep and approach them with
evil design. the agami makes no hest
tation about rushing al him and giving
combat. And it must be a good dog
that will overcome the brave bird.
Indeed, most dogs are so awed by the
fierce onset of the agami, accompanied
by its strange cries. that they escape
unwounded from the indignant crea-
ture.
