Young Mans Party.
The Peoples party is truly and es-
sentially d young mans partF, not
because it is made up Of the younger
portion Of the people. but because
real worth is re ognizcd regardless Of
age or condition. In the Republican
party young man must have "a
| pull" or his father must be an intu-
| entail mcmter. or he must wait with
patience unit! others have been served.
He must POST bills, light up the
schoolhouse. and bring water to the
speaker. After Il time he is made
secretary 1T some caucus. next a del
egate, and so on up the numerous
rounds of the political ladder. 1t
may he rather tedious, but recOgni-
ton seldom comes in any other way.
When he is fairly taken into the reg
ular camp. he at once discovers that
ali is not gold that glitters.
With Democracy, the entire syS-
tenn is different. 1t is simply a ques-
tion Of moss. When the moss on the
back OF the aspirant becomes long
enough, thick enough, and tough
enough, he is taken into full com
muniOn, and not till then. If the
candidate for advancement should
happen to encounter a new idea and
rub some OF this eXtrancOus growth
Off, he is instantly relegated to
| the infant class until the accident
has been repaired. AS rule, the
service required of the applicant is
perfunctory, everything being kindly
cut and dried beforehand, and. ma
chine like, he does us he is bid, no
matter whether the moss is growing
fast or slow. Brains don't count: in
tciligcnce cuts no figure, for the
whole thing is Il question of moss.
II ones grandfather was Il mosS-grOwn
Democrat, it is put down as a good
sign. Ii ones father was MOSCOW
cred Democrat also, that is still bet
ter, but SO far as the applicant in
| dividuaily is concerned. nothing save
homegrown mos, will carry him
through.
| For these reasons thousands of our
brainy young men OF the country are
tiockin. to the Peoples party. All
are welcome and all are put to work.
None are turned away because of
their youth or social petition. The
front ranks and the high PAGES are
open to all who prove themselves
wor, by. Such conditions make eff
fort pleasure and study pastime.
and bring together the good and
true. earnest and deserving. where
each can obtain the reward which his
services deserve.
Moral: Young men, join the ieo-
pies party and grow up with its
principles and prospects.
Compared with the Dehs Conspiracy.
During the Fifty-third Congress
there were days and weeks together
when no public business could be
transacted owing to the lack of a
quorum. Congressman are individu-
ais selected by the people to represent
them in tn. national councils, aud
for the discharge Of this duty they
are literally paid. No one can ques-
tion the right of a Congressman to
resign at will; but to persistently
- hinh I,n RI tr
perform is Il privilege which should
be denied the lahorer and Congress-
man alike. When number OF Con
sresSmcn deliberately agree to absent
themselves from the House. with the
undeniable intent of su>pending the
functions of that body. such action
constitutes conspiracy against the
welfare Of the nation, beside which
the puny efforts OF the wOrkingmen
sink into insigniticance. That such
Il conspiracy eX stcd is lcyond Que>-
ton: ii is even not denied. But the
offenders did not suffer personally:
their wages did not stop, nor did
tucy lose their places. What matter
if the industries of America were
suffering motc los every day than
was inflicted by all the labor strikes
Of I whole year. No one heard Il pro.

military organization offer to asSlS,
