he looks for the educated lady. He

The Southern papers generally that

it. Many members of the House have
openly declared that they will not vote
for more bonds under any circum-

this folly and keep it up. Cleveland

POES1SO0nGly IOrCo lG TO the 'front.' ana
not allow subordinate questions to as
sumo undue Importance.
The plan that will enable to classes
to fix good prices is what the people
want. Ask each member of class
what they want and the reply is uni
tormly better prices. The sub treasury
and postal bank system is popular
when understood and it's workings is
easily explained and will not tax the
people one cent and will give immedi-
ate relief. Our ability to produce
wealth is wonderful and is on the in
crease and a correct system of distri-
button will supply all with the neces
sarles and luxuries of life and pay in
vested capital better increment than
now received, and free the country
from panlcS, strikes, poverty, crime
and high taxes resulting from these
evils. On with the fight for human
rights, and success to the party and
leaders who have inscribed on their
banners, equal rights to all and special
privileges to none, which means that
each class shall have the ability to fix
fair prices on labor, the product of the
farm, factory and mine. In union
there is success; in division failure. To
succeed we must meet all classes and
war of class upon class must cease.
Keep the sub treasury and postal bank
system and CO operation to the front
and do not allow the enemy to divert
your minds from these by springIng
the tariff and silver questions on the
people. It is the tactics of the enemy
TO spring minor questions and have
them discussed 80 that the people will
lose sight of the vital issue. Nomi
nate candidates in each district who
stand on the improved sub treasury
and postal banks and force their discus
sion on every occasion, demand of the
oppoSers a substitute or force them to
accept them. The people will rally TO
the party who formulates q demand
that she tariff and finance shall be so
adjusted that they can price their
labor, the products of the farm, mine
and factory.
The people are ripe for action and
these classes can be united. Reader,
study the improved sub-treasury and
postal bank system. They are the only
ones that can give relief, secure an
equitable distribution Of the products
of labor. We can win this Congress
on this line and on no other. To sub
ordinate the sub-treasury and postal
system to other questions is to reinstate
the Republican party with its financial
horrors. JAMES MURDOCH.

The Master of the Wisconsin State
Grange is reported to think that las it
is clear that the President has no idea
of removing Secretary Norton at the
request of the farmers, it is time that
the Grange had dropped the matter
and maintained q dignIfed silence. "
We presume that no one has ever for
a moment supposed that he would be
removed. There is no reason, accord
ing to standard political theories, why
he should be. He did nothing but in
suit farmers whom he 10 supposed to
represent. But that sort of thing has
been going on for years by all kinds OF
officials, and the farmers themselves
refused to remove the men who had
insulted them when opportunity
offered.

Among the large number of unem-

probably a comparatively small por
tion-that are capable of doing farm
work. To such the avenue that leads
away from dependence upon charity is
now opening and will widen until after

however, for those VINO are not fitted
for this kind of labor to attempt to

common advice that thu city unem-
ployed should go into the country, but
it is foolish advice 80 far as thousands
are concerned. Farm work requires
both knowledge of and adapta6ility to

to neglect his work and thus suffer loss
than he can to employ incompetent
