The advocate., 1890-03-06


copt by the election Of men who ore by nature
and by occupation In sympathy with the needed
reforms. We know Of no way 10 secure the eIec-
lion NJ such men except by the ballot and IN the
use Of the ballot al men whose interests are
common, and who have united In the demands
embodied In the platform Of principles 10 which
our COtempOrary refers must come together also
at the ballot box, and, regardless Of former par
ty Affiliations, must vote as they resoIye"
"All this must be changed The people must
make reforms dictate the public policy and
choose the officers OF state and Nation. Untll
this Is done there Is little hope Of relief All this
win require time and during the struggle, many
win unquestlonably lose their homesi but this
should only add 10 the determination OF the peo-
pie. We are living not alone for ourselves, but
for our pOsterlty and upon the result OF this con
alCtdepends the kind Of heritage we shall trans.
NIT 10 our children Shall II be a heritage Of
slavery or Of llberty2 As the people vote so will
Itbe.n
Now after reading above, JeeI good"
| say to myself, the boys are on the right
track n0V, and THE ADVOCATE Is leading
them They are not going to be fed any
longer with tafy and fair promises. Nor
are they going to be made to fght one an
0ther, on nonsensical issues, while the
leaders In both parties combine to impoy-
erish and despoil them. ] begin TO think
can see what they will do-to wit For
saking all old party affiliations, look
around for an 0rgGaized politicGI pGrtA
which advocates their principles and
stands upon their platform, and having
found such party, join it en- masse, and
nominating men out Of their own ranks,
triumphantly Oil with their sympathizers
eocry State and County o6lce, and send q
faH deIegatSon 10 Congress-, and Senator
also. And while am feeling thus hap
py turn anotherpage Of THE ADVOCATE
and run across this; (TtGljcs are minc)
'l'ARMRRs AND LABoRERs' ALLIANCE or KS.

And this
"These ends can only be accomplished by pol

words we must secure political ends without
ayailng ourselves Of the means at our command
make bricks without straw"
And these items cause such revulsion Of
feeling, that | feel as II just got out Of
bed after having had hard chill,
Brother McLallin, what do these items
mean2 know tie old party bosses and
papers are imploring them to let politics
alone. Are they organized purely for
purposes ofamusement, to hold something
like literary societies9 Do they expect
to redress their wrongs by softening
Shylocks heart with resolutions and
whereases? Away with such tomfoolery.
It is time for action, not taB9 Whathave
they got against the Union Labor folks?
Have they been too faithful, outspoken
and persistent in battling for the rights
Of the peopleH What is the matter with
Union Labor papersH The people have
learned to diagnose their disease, and
have heard of remedy, only through
Union Labor papers. The subsidized
press ae0or uttered note Of warning
They cried "All is well, ," when the enemy
was at the gates, TAey are now crying
