a LONG-FELT WANT.

There are few wants of the American
people having their origin at any very re-
mote date which have not been fully or
partially satified long ago. AS a conse-
quence the "long-felt want" is one OF the
rsrest features of American life, and about
the only thing rarer is the supply needed
to fulfill the demand.
News comes to US, however. from
Glouster. Ohio, that certain gentlemen
have discovered in that section of the
country a long-felt want for new politi-
cal party and have promptly set about to
satisfy it. They propose the establish
ment of a political organization to be
known as the Union party, which is to
serve the interests of the working classes,
and establish in the United States a pros
perity that will withstand all the shocks
of time and circumstance.
The Union party has platform OF but
three planks, and these are stated by the
Glonster Press to be (1) Restriction of i'm :
migration. (2) DiscontiEuance of the use
of such improved machinery as caused
three or more persons to be deprived OF
employment in branches of industry that
are not materially dependent upon aid
OF this character. (3) Solution oi
disputed issues in speedy, practical ways.
The first of these planks is not orig
inal, and will draw no voters from the old
parties. The second will appeal to men
who are dissatisfied with the existing ordel
of civilization, and will therefore attrac,
a sufficient number of voters to form q
fairly good nucleus for ward meeting
providing they can all be gathered from
the various sections of the Union into a
single ward. The third plank, however
is the one on which the party will proba-
bly, base its hopes of success. There is
hardly an American politician who will
undertake to make a campaign agains,
the solution OF disputed issues in speedy,
practical ways"
The GIouster Press in publishing the
manifesto of the new party gave ii cor
dial and enthusiastic support. and went
so far as to say, "In starting this new
party it's founders had good idea OF its
future 1t is not likely to die a-borning.'
1t adds, however that if success is to be
obtained it must be attained swiftly, as
ten years more of the old parties will ruin
the country. A more forcible appeal was
never made to the American people. I,
puts an end to all tendency toward doubt
hesitation and delay, and gives the voter
fair notice that he must support the
Union party now or be forever lost.
