ST THEIR DAYS Of USEFULNESS.


eruption Never Reforms Itself-Tha
Old Parties Must Go.
No church, no party, no organizar
tion is ever reformed from the inside.
II any reformation is ever secured in
any organization OF any kind it must
be secured by some outside pressure.
All history il regard to organizations
Of ell kinds in ell ages is proof Of the
foregoing truth.
Another truth Of great interest to oil
is that churches or sects, political par
ties, and all kinds Of organizations
among men tend to corrupt rs they
grow old, just as natural as duck TO
take to water. No matter how pure
they may be in their birth. nor how
self-sacrifcing its authors may be, No
matter il it is born through the throes
Of war and blood or martyr,lom and
death, Is time rolls on and the eve Of
vigilance grows sleepy, designing,
selfish, cunning men work their wav
to the front and demoralize the insti-
tuition by perverting it to selfish pur-
poses.
Without tracing the histories of the
Jewish Church and early Christian
Church, AMI all later church organize
tions in proc. of out fositlon-we d.
! rect attention to the tM o leading politi-
cal parties in our country.
The Democratic party in its organi-
zation, in the days of jefferson and
jackson, was pure patriotic party.
No corruption was tolerated by it in
Jefierson's day.
No monopoly could stand before the
stern command of "Old Hickory"
His fearle Il take the RESPONSE
bility" doesn't enter into the makeup Of
any of our modern Presidents.
They are but little less than figure
heads" or @decoy ducks, or nose OF
wax" TO be manipulated by the money
mongers and the Shyl0ck crew in the
accomplishment of their nefarious
ends. Hence the absolute necessity Of
the formation of . new party.
The old parties can never be trusted.
Their mission for good is ended.
It only took the Republican party q
few years, less than twenty, to become
. stencil Of fottenness.
There Is no soundness in it.
Indeed, both the old parties put IA
blush Benedict Arnold ia selling out
tor British gold for while he sold out
he could not deliver, but they have
sold and delivered their country, shook
and line," into the hands Of our old
enemy.
We might as well send to London
every new administration for our Sec.
retary Of the Treasury. And any coun-
try and any power that controls tho
money Of people controls the labor
Of that people.
We are in bondage.
We are q nation Of slaves,
We are colony Of the British EN-
pire-
They control the volume and char
acter OF the money, and Of course the
labor Of the people.
They are fast gpbbling up the virgin
soil Of our Territories, and plastering
over multitudes of our farms and
homesteads with mortgages.
They manipulate the railroads 50 ef-
fectually as to be able to fix the price
Of the products Of the soil to suit their
greed.
They own the two old political par
ties, and hence the Government, SO that
the people must arise in their might,
and by . new declaration Of indepsnd-
ence, hurl from power the old traitor
parties, and rescue the Government
from the clutches of the enemy.
This can only be done by the formar
ton Of new party.
A party by and Of the people.
A party that will labor for tAa people
A party that is fer liberty and coun.
try, above place and gold.
A party based on patriotism instead
Of demagogism.
Will the people open their eyes and
see their To- .cr and act wisely, or will
they bin :, sacrifice al! - liberty,
country, homo and ffeedom-for the
sake Of upholding an old rotten party,
and entail on their children and pos
terity ON unending serfdom? - Ecs
