The great dry goods firm Of II B.

direction. They have given nup doing

method, where the capitalistic em-

able him TO live in prinCely fashion,
rearing his sons and daughters in
dangerous luxury and educating them
towards monarchial habits and SEN
timents, while, on the other hand,
the poorly paid clerks are struggling
with rent and living expenses and
rearing their families under condi-
tions which foster envy and jealousy
Of the superior advantages and lux
urious style Of living which they see
but do not share
When this firm first determined to
abandon the competitive and adopt
the cooperative method they offered
$6,OO0,OOOof stock, but SO great was tho
favor with which che move was looked
upon that the subscriptions soon
reached s22OOO,OOO. Nearly every
, one employed in this enterprise will
be q profit sharer, and new life, new
interest and new devotion to the bust
ness among all employees will be the
result
MIR. Clafin says that he is in daily
receipt of letters Of inquiry as to the
practical methods Of reorganizing

least fifty prominent mercantile es-
Establishments in the east are contem-

! opinion JnHJ every felOfm we SOCK
could be obtained by acting with ex-
isting parties. TO such we have a
few thoughts TO suggest. Their argu-
ment which may be plausible upon
It's face, will not stand the test Of
reason.
They say we are in the majority
and could take possession Of and con
troll the primaries and theConventions
so as TO elect our own men TO Office.
Let us suppose this TO be true, what
will be the legitimate RESULT Each OF
the existing parties has adopted and
pursued a certain line Of public poll
ey for many years; and the most care
full observer will find it difficult to
define the difference in the two poll
cies upon any Of the questions that
most intimately concern the interests
Of the people. An examination Of the
Legislation of the past thirty years
will fail to disclose any acts that have
tended TO improve the condition Of
the industrial classes or the general
business interests OF the country. On
the contrary, we are able to designate
certain specific acts that are generally
admitted to be directly responsible
for the present deplorable condition
of our country. We call attention
(1) TO the exception clause in the legal
tender act, which created one kind Of
money for the banker and the bond
holder, and another for the soldier in
the field, tho mechanic in the shop
and the husbandman on the farm
While the interests Of the bondholder
were so carefully guarded as to insure
the payment of the principal and in
terest Of money unnecessarily borrow
ed in n full legal tender money,the sol
der who exposed his life, the manu-
facturer who furnished the clothing,
and the farmer who furnished the
food for the army were compelled to
accept currency deprecated by act
Of Congress. These same bondhold-
ers also used this deprecated curren-
cy for the purchase Of government
bonds at a large discount, which were
afterwards made payable in gold.
This one feature Of our financial
policy has cost the people hundreds
Of millions Of dollars and hastOned
the accumulation Of American wealth
in q few hands.
(2) We next mention the funding act
by which Notwithstanding treas
ury notes were converted into an in
terest-bearing bonded debt, This,
besides directly costing the people
thousands Of millions of entirely un-
necessary expense, was one OF the in
strumentalities for the contraction Of
our circulating medium, which has re-
suited so disastrously TO every indus
trial and business interest Of America
(8Thenatlonal banking act is anoth-
er Of this class, and one that has also
cost the people hundreds of millions
OF dollars, which has all gone TO enrich

THE PEOPLES PATTY.

/ N'i' I"'iNi"A y" N'N'l'" va" PN"AA| "A
the part Of a iow, as TO the character
and purposes Of the peoples party.
The call for the conference which
assembled at the state house in To
peka on the 18th Of June, invited all
industrial organizations TO send dele
gates for consideration as TO what
would be the best policy TO pursue in
the coming campaign After full
and fair discussion Of the situation,
that conference decided TO call peo-
| ple's convention for the nomination
of q state ticket, and to recommend
that peoples candidates be placed in
the field in the several Congressional
districts and counties Of the state.
AS this was simply q conference TO
decide what was best to be done, it's
sessions were held with closed doors;
and from this fact it has been inferred
that The peoples party is TO be a Be-
cret political organization. There are
those who honestly believe this to be
true. There are others who know
that it is not true, yet who are very
industriously engaged in conveying
the impression that il is, and they are
also very particular to convey the inn
preston that it is a distinCtively ALI
ance party. Nothing could be fur
ther from the fact. Were these men
ignorant upon this subject, and we're
the opinions they are so industriously
circulating, honestly entertained in
all cases, we might have charity for
their acts and treat them accordingly.
But the facts are that they are men
who know better-men who are fully
and thoroughly informed as to the
true character Of this movement, but
maliciously determined to defeat il If
in their power
Let it be understood, therefore,
that the peoples party as organized
by the conference referred 10, is in no
sense a secret political organization,
nor is it in any sense a distinctive al
lance party. There were SIX seperate
organizations participated in that CON
ference. The st. Louis demands
were adopted as the platform Of the
party. A convention is called to
meet in this city on the 18th of August
to nominate a state ticket All men,
Of whatever party, who believe that
the principles set forth in the st.
Louis platform are correct, and that
they should be adopted as the future
policy Of this government, are most
cordially invited to unite in the cleo
ton Of delegates TO the state conven-
tion and to aid in the election to Office
Of men who will regard the wishes
and consult the interests Of their con-
stituents upon the questions involved.
The convention will be as open and
as public as that Of any political party
under the sun, and will tolerate none
of the chicanery so common in modern
conventions. All industrial organiza-
tions, and all interests that can unite
