kind ever known in the worlds history.
Kansas City Midland Mechanic.
What is congress doing? Nothing.
No, we are mistaken-the twins are
grinding out capital" to use in the
coming presidential election, lodging
silver legislation and whacking each
other. That's all.-Weekly Union.
The demands agreed upon by the
conference February % will probab Y
stand about as much show of being
adopted by either the republican or
democratic national conventions as
will the decaicgue or golden rule-St
Louis Monitor.

Southern Mercury.
Inquiries are coming in for club
blanks to organize the peoples party

the 22d. 2d.-Nonconformist.
The best bill for the promotion
and protection of interstate commerce
would provide for the acquisition by
the government of the trunk lines of
railroads. Think what fix we would
be in if the postal service was in the
hands of numerous warning, competing
and demoralizing cOrporations.-St
Louis Chronicle
The banner of organized labor
shall never be lowered to plutocracy

Unite and remain united, in defeat as
in victory, ever fighting for the cause
to the dav of it's complete triumph,
never turning your backs to friends,
enemy or principle! journal of

Its queer world when few men
will set up in business on the claim of
the divine right t. take all the traffic
will bear, and the masses will set de-
murely down and allow their mouths
to be gagged with plug labelled
vested rights" It's time for another
inspection of the temples of the money
changers. iowa Farmers Tribune
The opposition press every where,
as well as the partisan howlers, never
allow an opportunity to escape to refer
to the labor conference, which con-
venes in St. Louis, on February 90, as
the peoples peEty convention. They,
as well as every well-informed man,
know that there is no mora connection
between this convention and the peo-
ple's party than there is between it and
the democratic or republican party.
This St Louis labor Conference is in
no way partisan. 1t will be composed
only of de egates from every labor or
ganization IN the United States They
meet to better the conditions of labor,
and to devise the best plan for immedi-
ate and permanent relief. The results
of their deliberations will be awaited
with interest by all, especially the
partisans. Tex Southern Mer-
