the contestants. The best evidence
we have of the necessity for a new
party is that the old no longer appeal
to the judgment of the masses. The
restless and progressive spirit OF the
age can no longer be dominated by
parties that live only to recount
deeds that made them the idols Of
their devotees. Even their most mr.
dent supporters must in time become
impatient Of inaction and incompe-
tency. The party is then left to the
mercy Of those alone who profit by
the spoils Of Office. This il the condi-
ton Of parties to day. Is it any won
der that they become stagnant and
corrupt and that the people lose con-
fidence when they thus fail to keep
abreast OF the times? What will be
the extent or limit of the new party
time alone can tell. 1t cannot stop
short OF the fulfilment Of its mission
no more than could the agent of any
other reform. Crude, indeed, may be
its ideas and many its mistakes. but
its principles are rooted and ground
ed in justice and can no more miss OF
fulfillment than could the prophecies
of Holy Writ. Indeed the industrial
movement is in itself prophecy.
And has not all prophecy had its hu.
man agent, both in enuncia ton and
fulfilment? The principles of the
party to-be are a prophecy that time
is waiting to fulfil. Its agent is the
labor organizations now forming: its
prophet. the people whose iDspira
ton comes from the divine in human
nature-that spirit which prompts
men to love justice and hate iniquity

SURPRISED -?

Mr.. James Nichols, who prepares
so-called Alliance matter for Cresco
paper, said last week:
l was little surprised It two items
| saw in the PLAIN DEALER last
week by men styling themselves
farmers"
And /, as a farmer. was surprised
to see this claim put forth by Mr..
Nichols as part Of his business creed:
1T is the right of every man to buy
and sell where he pleases," &c.
and 'The farmer owes
to himself to open q free market in
which to buy and sell, a market in
which he can secure the full selling
price to the consumer less the least
necessary cost of interchange, a
market in which he can buy the
finished commodities at a slight adj
vance upon wholesale factory prices"
To this end l have devoted the
most of my work Of political nature

THE THIRD PARTY VOTE.

The Number OF Electoral Votes Controlled
by the Agriculturists.
The interview Of Col. Joe" Hickey,
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, relating to
the land loan bill introduced by 6cna-
tor Stanford, is very interesting, but he
left some things unsaid and should
like to supplement his remarks by some
Of mine.
Col. Hickey said that the candidate Of
the agricuiturists could be elected, but
he gave no figures TO prove his asser-
ton. That statement Of his is proven
from the official records Of the populs-
ton when properly analysed.
Unfortunately, Gen. Walker, in TAX

consider that anyone would ever desire
to know how many persons Of voting

You readily perceive that without the
vote of man not engaged in farming
or the owner of farm, the agriculture
lists would carry twenty-four states
with 226 out of 400 electoral votes.
With three per cent. of the other voters,
they would also capture the electoral
votes of Illinois, Ohio and Maine, that
Is fifty-one more.
It has been said that the rural popu-
lation is decreasing and the urban In
creasing. This is true only In the
states where the farmers were In NIL
nority. There is no decrease in the
farm vote, and under the new appor-
tionment, which gives the electoral col
lege 444 members, the farmers can elect
23S out Of 444.
In the twenty-four states which the
farmers control and in which they can
elect a3s electoral votes of the next col
lege, they can also elect It's members Of
the next house of representatives In
four years, that is, by 1895, they can
have control of. the senate and, with
their president in the white house, have
six of the nine judges of the supreme
court, who believe as they do In regard
to the powers of the nation being used
for the benefit of the people instead Of
for the benefit Of spectators, bankers
and Wall street gahblers.-Exra Nat

The National Motto.

The national motto, &c pluribus
Unum," ON different United States
coins, was never authorized by law to
be so placed; although the mint was cs-
tablished In 1902, the use OF tho motto
on any OF the gold, silver or copper
coins was not authorized or directed by
any Of the provisions Of the act cstab-
fishing it. None of the coins since 1887
bore the motto until the standard silver
dollars were coined. It remained on
the early gold and silver coins until
1884, when it was omitted from the gold
coins; from the double eagle in 1866.
In 1886 it was dropped from the twenty
five-cent piece, and the following year
from all silver coins, the trade dollar
only reviving its use. The motto was
first used on the half-penny or cent
struck IN New Jersey in 1867.
