Proceeding he argues that women should
have the same wages as men for the same
work and that they should also have the bal
lot. He arraigns the Republican party in
this manner:
Laboring men are out of employment and
starving, after quarter of century of Re-
publican rule. Nay, more! 1t is well known
in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. and how
far in other parts of the north I leave the
good and just minded Of those localities to
speak, capital has coerced the votes of the
laboring men to its own purposes by threats,
intimidation, and in some cases worse
means.
In the matter of finance there is nothing
to hope from the Republican party, any more
than from the Democratic party. The bank
ers and capitalists of both parties uniting
together have controlled for twenty years the
financial legislation of the nation.
After reviewing the fnan cial condition of
the country, he offers this panacea:
We, the despised Greenbackers, offered a
remedy for all this which no rejecting, keen
sighted business man will now say would not
have been effectual. Myself in congress

stead of issuing a United States bond which
would be held by capitalists only and for the
purpose Of securing bank currency only,
congress should make an incontrovertible
bond at low rate of interest, to be issued
invest in it instead of placing
his money in savings banks or
trust companies to be loaned out
on margins on kiting stocks, and then lost
when he called for it. That bond bearing
three and sixty-fve one-hundredths per
cent. interest, to be presented by the holder
at any time to the treasury, and legal ten
ders to be issued for it, and thus the inter
est to that amount Of the national debt ac-
cures to the government instead of being
paid by it from the taxes of the people.
And then when another bond was desired
by the investor, one should be issued by the
government, and interest thereon begin.
After continuing his argument against
both parties for some length he concludes as
follows:
VOTE TOGETHER, IS THE ONLY REMEDY.
What then is the remedy for these so mon
strous evils? How can the people, the true
Democracy, repossess themselves of their
government, to make laws to protect their
own interest and to redress these great
wrongs and cause the plunderers to disgorge
their robberies from the treasury2
VOTE FOR THIRD PARTY; YOU WILL NOT LOSE
YOUR VOTE.
The cry has already gone forth:-'If the
people put third candidate in the field
those who vote for him will throw away their
votes" Be it so. The voter will do worse
than throw away his vote If he votes for
either candidate of the monopolists. Such
vote thereby perpetuates the rule of his op-
pressors without protest. if by his vote he
puts or keeps either in power.
The same argument was used in 1848 to
the Abolitionists, that they should not vote
for Van Buren to establish free soil. And
again the same cry went out in 1852 when
the Wing and Democratic parties made the
same platform on the slavery question to
crush out the Abolition party forever. But
the true-hearted Free soilers stood firm; and
appeared, If you please, to throw away their
votes; but though the Democracy elected
their candidate with only four states in op-
position, yet in 1856 the Free Soilers, the de-
spised third party, elected Fremont, who.was
counted out by the returning boards of that
day, but the Wing party was destroyed. And
in 1860 by the third party Of '52, Lincoln was
elected and the Democratic party was worse
than destroyed. AS ito majority gravitated
to treason and armed rebellion 1 left it then
to serve the country as now / do
Fear not. The people will not have to wait
eight years for their triumph. Everything,
including politics, travels faster now, as
there are more railroads and telegraphs to
distribute intelligence.
In politics, as in everything else, there is a

crop is harvested only once in four years.
FUSE!
In framing your electoral ticket, make
fusion in all the states with the supposed
minority, and make it upon this theory; not
that you are going to vote for the electors of
any candidate opposed to your interests, not
that the friends of the other candidate are
going to vote for yours, bnt agree that you
will run The same electoral ticket, provided
the electors who compose it are as
they ought 10 be, reputable men who will be
bound by their honorable undertakings,
which is all there is that binds the electoral
college to vote In any direction; and then
have it agreed that the electoral vote of the
state shall be divided in the electoral college
according to the number of votes thrown for
your candidate, and the number of votes
thrown for the other candidate on the same
ticket. The number of votes which each
candidate gets will be known with substan-
tial accuracy long before the official count is
made. Therefore you will have every incen-
tive to vote for your candidate because the
larger number of votes you cast the more
electoral votes will your candidate get, and
the less will the other have. And those who
are voting for the same electors with you will
throw as many votes as they can for their
candidate in order that he shall have as large
share of the electoral vote of the state as
possible, neither in fact voting for the can
didate of the other. Thus you will show your
strength and hold the balance of power
ORGANIZE.
Organize in every state, and present at the
polls an electoral ticket and support it with
your votes.
When the word "organizen is used, at
once springs up to the mind the political
machines which have been created, caucuses,
conventions, and delegates who can be
bought and sold in the market like sheep;
the contrivances by which the peoples enc
mics have conspired to take away their
rights.
By that word I mean nothing of that sort
Organize in your workshop; agree to vote to-
gether for one ticket, There need to be no
great and expensive meetings. You can
vote together without brass band just as
well as you can with one. Torch light pro-
cessions are an invention of your enemies to
deceive you into following their banner and
marching to their music, and into not voting
| for your own interests, and the interests of
your wives and your children.
Therefore let the people stand together aud
vote together and SOW the seeds of a great
victorious party, if not at this election at the
next If you do not sow now, you will not
reap then; nor is it at all certain that the
seed has not been already sown, and will
fructify by your votes into substantial if
