MARdH. MARCH. MARcHl

y
In the crowded scenes of toll, in the work
shop and the mine,
There are those who sigh the weary hours
away;
Not single ray of hope on their wretched
lot to shine,
Or the promise Of brighter better day.
March March! March. the ranks are
forming,
Cheer up. friends, the time has come.
For the toilers Of our land now begin to
understand
Their just rights to comfort, liberty and
home.
Where the earth is fresh and fair, in the
seats of power and pride, |,
Sit the favored few who live by labor's
pains:
Not wish is unfulflled, not a luxury
denied
Though they scorn the toll of which they
reap the gains.
Shall the many evermore be the vassals Of
the few,
And the landlord and the usurer rob the
If your po power you only felt, if your rights
you only knew,
Not another days oppression you'd en-

So unite in all your strength and make
ready for the fight,
| Standing boldly by the cause with heart
and hand
To defy the tyrant foe who has robbed US
of our right,
And assert freeman's title to the land

The Peoples party comes now to
close the bloody chasm and to drop

Thank God for it's mission Thank
God that the present generation has
learned to revere the ira,ernal bonds
existing between the sections. So
as the great producing classes are

the union be made permanent and

1t Is Jus: tho Same Eyerywllere.

The following clipping from the
Peoples Advocate. published at
Columbia Ala. shows that Democrats
are getting scarce over there too In
fact it is just the same everywhere
The people are coming to the front
and are uniting in a party of their
own. on a platform of equal justice to
all and special privileges to none.
But here is the clipping from the
Advocate:
1T is said that drowning men
catch at straws and that being the
case the true blues can find u very
large straw to grab at in the fact that
true blues had only about twenty
five at their meeting Saturday while
there were about two hundred and
fifty present at the meeting of the
Peoples party executive committee.
Enthusiasm was stranger in the true
blue meeting. In the Peoples party
meeting enthusiasm was unbounded
That's the kind of straws we love to
see floating around.

Political Economy.

Political economy. as it has been
taught in our colleges and by our
most noted political writer's has been
a sort of systematic, cold-hearted
barbarism. Judge Albion w. Tour
gee says that 1T might properly be
defined as the science of teaching the
poor to be content with what they
have. and the rich with what they
can GET 1t is a pretty good defni-
ton. About all the follies and non
sense that the world has ever cher
ished in regard to the relation Of man
to man and the government 10 the
citizen have been embodied in our
works upon political economy. Back
in the years when enlightened govern
ment was unknown. when individual
independence was denied. when man S
right to govern himself was disputed.
and when the divine-rig ht- kings
tomfoolery was quietly submitted to-
somebody who thought that the earth
and the fitness thereof belonged to Il
favored few and til at the mission Of the
many was to cringe and crawl before
lords and princes and potentates as
sumed certain things and called these
things the basis of political economy;
and the standard writer's and common
tators upon the sub. ect have always
hurried back among the mummies and
shadows of the long ago past to base
their ews Of political economy upon
the absurdities and assumptions of
those times. 1t would be marvellous
if the principles which were thought
to be properly applicable to the gov
eminent and its relations TO the peo-
pie century ago were applicable in
this nineteenth century. 1t would be
curious state Of affairs if the polite
al economy which was practiced about
thrones and under scepters and among
serf5 would be suitable for sixty two
millions of freemen living Snder a
popular government. = Farmer

the church was constant and abiding. and
her prayer was ever for Its spiritual well

scriptures, as the large numbers who have
received instruction from her during the
fifty wears or more in which she faithfully
labored as Sunday school teacher can
testify. The funeral was largely attend
ed. Fitting and appropriate words were
spoken from the text, found in Rev.
