WHY a New PartyY

Honest and patriotic men are asking:
What need is there of new party?
Why not stick to the old party and
fight out the great questions of the
day under the same old banner? Let
US see.
The labor question is as pregnant
with revolution as the slave question
ever was, and with this question the
politicians of the old parties are tenn
PORTING, and perhaps will continue to
temporize until the soldier rs again
called upon to settle it.
Invention is every year giving capt.
tai greater power to Cypress manual
labor in the field of production.
Every year, through the agency of
improved machinery, the labor field is
narrowed and the competition be-
tween those whose only capital is their
hands, Is growing sharper and sharper.
1t is true there is vast increase of
product, but capital is gathering in all
tits increase.
from this increase, millionaires are
multiplying on every hand, while
labor is perishing of want and destitu-
ton.
A few great monopolists who have
never rendered service to mankind
are reaping the benefits of the progress
of this ingenious age, while the genius
which invents and the labor which
operates these inventions are scarcely
above want.
Labor, perceiving the great increase
of wealth and wondering why part
of it does not fall to its share, is becom-
ing dissatisfied, stubborn, rebellious.
The most stupid perceive that our
system of production is rapidly chang
ing, yet our politicians, whose only

Democracy In Now Ynrir-

Democratic editors have recently had
much to say about Populism in Colo
RADIO.
Suppose we take one of their strong
holds and ask them to defend the way
they govern it.
Take New York city. 1t is demo-
cratic from top to bottom. They hold
every place of power from governor
and mayor down to scavenger and
street sweeper.
How do they govern the imperial
city of the Union?
How do they administer law in that
great metropolis of civilization and
Christianity?
In manner which disgraces human
nature, defes justice and mocks God.
They plumber the business men of
$40, 600, 900 per year to fatten a horde
OF ward heelers, political parasites,
buns, thugs, repeaters, shoulder hit
tiers and election manipulators
They levy blackmail upon all trades
and professions.
Their police "stand in" with crimi-
mails and force tribute from the inno-
cent in return for protection"
Their judges aid them in stealing
election returns and in wringing money
out Of honest tradesmen who have
committed no crime save that they re-
fuse to join Tammany.
In the judicial investigation now
going on in New York it has been
proved that the democracy of New
YorkIha committed every crime known
to human depravity; that the demo-
cratic sway in New York has debauched
every branch of the public service. and
turned the machinery of government
into mere instrument of political
greed to extort money out of the
people.
Before our democratic friends get
too much engrossed with "Populism in
Colorado" we advise them to read up
on democracy in New York" DIR.
Parkhurst is good authority upon the
subject.
He can tell them all about Tam.

boodlers which controls national con.
ventions, dictates policies for southern

Why is it that the boards of trade
have nothing to say against ''democ-
racy in New York;"
Simply because the Tammany lead
ers are the subsidized allies of the
money power.

Iammany; pays roundly for it; tut
having paid the tribute, gets value re-
ceiTed in loyal service.

ing corresponding and just system of
distribution.
They do not seem to understand why
labor is muttering and threatening.
They fail to see that a new historic
period is crowding upon the nation.
They overlook the fact that every
issue which gave rise to the Two old
parties, is settled in history.
They are blind to the fact that new
issues are pressing to tie front for
adjustment
If they are cognizant CT these facts,
they are endeavoring, solely for selfish
purposes, to keep in the background
the issues of the hour.
They are trying to infuse life and
virtue into political organizations long
since dead and damned.
Whenever political party has set
tied the issues upon which it was or
gained, and then exists simply to use
its power and influence to secure posi-
tions for spoils seeking politicians, IL

gent, patriotic people should see to it
that it is removed to the political grave
yard to make room for a live party
with living issues
Every age has its issues and these
must have their party.
America is a land of growth and
progress.
Here have been solved already some
of the higher problems.
1t will continue for many, manv
years the battle ground of new
thoughts and ideas.
The battle of industrial freedom. the
right of each man to what he produces,
has yet to be fought.
This is the issue of the day.
If it is not the browning conflict of
civilization, it is at least the next in
order.
We do most earnestly believe that
the Peoples party is the most promis.
ing movement in the direction of in
dustrial freedom that has ever been
set in motion.
If wisely conducted it will mark an
epoch in history, of even greater i'm.
portance to the race, and to civiliza-
ton, than the memorable Fourth Of
July, 1776.
Let the representatives of American
industry and of Revolutionary ancestors
put their shoulders together, touch
elbows and march in solid phalanx
to the polls next November and con-
sign to the tomb the dead carcasses of
the old parties, whose souls have long
been resting in the bosoms of Jeffer.

bodies yet cumber the ground and
