UNION LABOR PARTY DEMANDS.

The union labor national platform has
much in it of good, much also with which
we cannot agree; of the latter are two
notable instances. The pension plank
declares:
eve demand the passage of service
pension bill to every honorably dis
charged soldier and sailor of the United
States"
And there ia another plank declaring
for woman suffrage, In this language:
"The right to vote is inherent in citi-
zenship irrespective of sex, and is prop
erly within the province of state Iegis-
lation."
We heartily commend the governmental
policy of pensioning those disabled in
fighting for the union and those
dependent on such as were so
disabled and killed, but we
draw the line at Service pension" Not
only would it bankrupt the treasury, but
we can see no grounds for a just claim for
any such pensions. Pay issued to the
army during its time of service, and
though it may have been small, yet the
sacrifice incident to accepting it was a
feature of the hardships of war and can
not now be compensated for by sweep
ing pension policy.
As to woman suffrage, the south must
forever be opposed to it. Woman's field
is not in politics. 1t is contrary to her
better and nobler nature, AMI, so far as
the south is concerned, because of the pc
culiar composition of her population, it
would be ruinous to all social order for it
to be here introduced and put into effect.
National laws will hardly contemplate
such departure from established polit-
ical methods, and consent to change the
status of the voting population, and here
in the south no state will ever take the
initiative. A. j. Streeter and Charles E.
Cunningham, the presi ]ential and vice.
presidential nominees of party demand
ing such rights, such changes, will count
but very few votes in the south, very few
in the nation at large.

the very men it proposes to protect. The
protectiouists pretend to shield the
American working men against the cheap
labor of Europe, and at the same time
forcs him to pay thirty to SIXTY per
cent more for his clothes and
the necessaries of life than they are
worth, provided he was allowed the privil-
age of buying in the cheapest market. A
privilege of which he is deprived under
the present system. No wonder that the
laboring classes, pauperized by the much
Wanted protection, are dissatisfied, and
have banded together to protect them
selves. What stupendous, amazing, hypo-
crisy when the republican leaders in con-
gress talk of protecting" labor.
