vou can with one. Torchlight processions are an invention of your enemies to deceive you into following their banner and march ing 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 and vote togeE Eher and sow the seeds of the great and 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 fructify by your votes into & substantial if not complete victory at this election.
 THE PEOPLES PARTY WILL TRIUMPH.
 The producers, the workingmen, the greenback men and anti-monopolists are already organized, and if men will but vote their convic- tions, irrespective of deluding party cries, | the people can achieve 8 victory now; and there is no power on earth that can prevent 1 it Let us then organize aE People, sParty. "reI resenting every shade of political belief that a true Democrat or true Republican, loving | his country, loyal to her free institutions | wishing for her prosperity and glory, whlcI l alone can be had when the people alone ar' prosperous, when the laborer is fully paid I and when there is fair division of the pro | duction of enterprise and labor, can or ough \ to hold.
 It seem to me certain that at worst, ever l in the infancy of our organization, we cal hold the balance of power between the tw'
 old parties; so that if we cannot wholly pre-
 vent bad and unjust legislation, we can fore
 them to band together to enact it, and thu \ show themselves in form, as they are ln fact I confederated against the people.
 | ELECT CONG REss MEN.
 In many States, if we exert our strength, w I already hold the balance of power. In qeSat I one hundred congressional districts, less thai I one thousand votes will determine whether \ friend of labor and the people, or the too I of monopoly shall have seat in Congress | Let us organize therefore, in every district ! to see to it that no man goes to Congress iron ! any district who is not with us and of us \ strong enough in moral rectitude to stanc for the rights of the people "unawed by pow CT and unbought by gain."
 ELECT STATE LEGISLATURES.
 l Again, in balanced States make an allianc I with whichever of the other parties vii I choose so to do. Minorities naturally gravi | tate toward each other. Give them som
 State officers and take others to yourselve ! upon aIE agreement that both parties shal vote the same ticket. Be particular to see t ! it that yoTlr own friends are sent to the Stat | legislatures. There are many States wher | laws are needed for the protection of work I ingmen, the farmer and the merchant agains ! oppressors and monopohes, and if these vii | stand together, they can get that protection Y LII
 the State of New York as elsewhere, the pro
 ducers and traders and consumers need chea | transportation and competition betwee ! water-borne freight and the railroads. Tn \ laboring men and toiling women want five | cent-fare law for the elevated railroad. Tn f mechanics need good lien law. All need ! law to limit the hours of labor, whether
 woman toiling in mill or standing behind
 counter, or conductor or driver standing O ' & car.
 | If anybody tells you that this is class 1egis I lation, reply to him, 'EYes, we know it; W ' are legislating for our class little while fo | it is the first time we have had an oppol
 tunity The other class has had legislatio l enough to last them for a hundre | years"
 The address ends with two little addresse Lone to the Greenback Labor party and th Anti-Monopolist organization and to tn
 laboring men, and the other to the Demo ! cratic party of Massachusetts.
