Mr. Po~derlys political scheme of uniting

snee, and forming such political power that
it will control the Presidential chair, appears
very formidable on paper; but if Mr.. Pow
derby will read the history Of the Changers,
the Greenbsckers and various other hope
full organizations. he will. fiud that such
schemes have been tried before and have
failed to work The reason they have
failed was because the individual members
of the several associations formed to settle
industrial or social questions were not a unit
in politics and could not be "wielded" as one
man in the political arena. 1t is beautiful
plan, but it invariably lips n cog when the
