(Nation) commencing where
the ?. of H. left off and p'rofiting
by the experience obtair Ied from
the P. of II. the r. A and T u.
have made rapid strides especially
in this State and Rcformcrs TAX
ing the State gov. ernment in their
o" 4 hands, emf ionching themselves
pehlnd such Notifications of facts
ana hgures, and Utterly burnt the
nrloges SO. clean behind them that
inc enemies have been utterally
ae1eaFed in every attempt to move
Iherl from their Notifications, al
th' ough they have been using
f.neir heaviest artillery in the
They (the f. A. and I. U. have
shown to the laboring classes that
they have been unjustly dis.
criminated against. That by cor.
rupt legislation plutarchy has beer
and is to-day drawing the very life
blood from the industrial class
That while the town, cities, rail.
roads, banks, manufactures, anC
great trusts and combines flourish
like a green bay tree, the indus
trial classes { the mud sills of the
whole fabric) are GENEROUSLY op
pressed and the tendencies are from
bad to worse or fast as thewheels
of time roll.
That the prevailing prices O
farm products on the markets en-
ablcs capitol to get the lions shar'
of the profits, and the producer
labor instead of being profitable
he actually does not realize fo
his crops, what he spends in pro
ducing.
That the plutocratic-howl O
thriftlessness in the winter an
spring and over production in tn
fall is another falacious false
hood. That instead of want of thrift
in tho spring and over production
in the fall, it is the want of just re
ward for labor or (equal rights t
all and special privileges to none,
where with to purchase eat an'
ware this wonderful over produc
tion (thriftlessncss.)
That the sub-Treasury system,
as suggested by the F. A. and I. u
would take charge of and quietl
remove this fearful, wonderful owe
prod ion of the thriftlcs
producer and the lions share of tn
profits out of the hands of the Wa
street gamblers and place ther
whore a just share Of the rewar
would go to the producer. If oy
cry other agricultural State ha
sent reformers in the proport:ol
this State has to Congress-, the ol
yoke would have been broken an
the dawn of another era Of pros
perity would be on us.
