Go back if you please in the history of events and then you will find record- ed on its sacred pages the formation of party after party whose aims and principles were grand. Among new parties that have existed in the last decade I will mention the Greenback party asone. A party which had inany good things embodied in its platform to meet the demands and wishes of the toiling masses of the nation. The prohibition party is another I wish to give special men- tion of. What promise of the future did not this party present to the minds and hearts of men? scenes of gladness rose before our mental vision as we glanced along the pathway of our progress? What & grand mission was hers? Binding up bleeding hearts, freshening the blossoms that had been withered in the hot breath of intemperance; re- gilding the faded hopes long shel- tered in the closets of memory; re- building the wrecks strewn all along the shores of life and banishing the dark cloud that enfolds the poor in- ebriate’s soul like a funeral pall and spread its forbidden shadows over its prespects of earthly felicity and his hopes of future bliss. tion these parties and facts in con- nection witk them to show the mem- bers of the F. & L. U. that before they undertake to form a new party to pause for a moment and take as a guide the sad experience and histo- ry of other new parties that have been formed in the last few years, whose aims and principles have been grand and see if we can afford to sacrifice our grand and noble or- der in that kind of style. answer no. above to-day sleep the sleep that knows no waking, and I, as a mem- ber of the F. & L. U. pray God that the day will never come when there shall have been recorded upon the sacred pages of history that the F. & L. U. of this country has drifted into the partisan politics and thus formed a new party. whose aims and principles although far too grand to pay the notice of any true thinking man or woman, yet soon nipped by the frosts of opposition or withered in the shades of indifference and neglect and thus soon to die and be numbered with the things that were, to be remembered no more forever. But the question naturally arises how then can we accomplish the great end for which we strive? I say go to work and reform the two great parties that we have by elect- ing men out of their own ranks to Game eeee uoNEED 5 | represent our interest in the legisla- | which the hard headed people of IVORY POLISH : General§Passenge: and Ticket Ag’t I yesterday and secured a madstone, jets wherever his products may be| tive halls of our land, men whose, the country appreciate.

Our constitution forbids any ahalt has been called on public building appropriations altogether. There is even a possibility that pay- ments to the sinking fund may have to be suspended in order to keep the recources of the treasury even with its expenditures. To enact, at such a time, the total repeal of the sugar taxes, which bring in an immense revenue at slight cost of inconvenience to the people, and thus assure a high rate of taxation on all the manifold min- —_ or neccessities of life, is not a poli- cy that commends itself to anybody. ~ And that the people of the west and northwest are restive under this proposed course is becoming more evident every day to the politicians who have an eye on the future. It will be well for the senate to handle the McKinley bill with exceeding care. It represents neither the past policy nor the present sentiment of the republican party, and its enact- ment would be about the worst pos- sible preaparation for the approach- ing elections.—St. Paul Pioneer- Press.

So the farmers’ and laborers’ of the country have at last grown very tired of being com- pelled to pay so much to the fiddler and then not be allowed to dance. i conclusion I ask the members of the F. & L. U. before they under- take to form a new party to stop and think and think well. For in my humble judgment such a step would surely break up the organiza- tion and scatter its members to the four winds ef the earth and then rob us of the only available means of saving our homes from ruin. Let us not think of forming a new party yet at least. Suppose we go to work and purify the political atmosphere by reforming the parties we now have, and then I feel that the day will not be far distant when our lands and our homes will be freed from debt and our people once more a free, happy and prosperous | people. J. T. Hickman. Mexico, Mo., July 16th, 1890. The West and Northwest Restive. It is clear that the longer the Mc- Kinley bill is before congress the less it appeals to the conservative republicans of the senate. It even reasonable doubtful whether if the vote were to be taken over again to- day it could be passed in the house. There is every probability that half a dozen or half a score republican representatives who have heard from their districts, and learned that their constituents care a good deal more atout lower taxes than they do about loyalty to certain geutlemcen who have set themselves up at Wash- ington as the self-styled leaders of the party and the only authorized censors of republican doctrine, would be very glad to reverse the record they have made. With ev- ery day that passes the McKinley bill grows in unpopularity, and it needs, we are conyinced, only suffi- cient consideration and sufficient time to hear from the country to make it sure that it will fall by its own weight. The first blow wasdealt by the resolutions adopted by different as- semblages of voters throught the west and northwest, to the effect that the bill was unwise and unre- publican, and that their representa- tives had blundered in voting for it. The ext shock, and it is a rude and severe one, was administered by Mr. Blaine. The party can not at once get rid of the administration which its masses have felt for their one time leader; and when he shows in afew words, the ruinous bargain that was propose to make, in sacri- ficing the immense revenue of the sugar duties without securing in re- turn the extension of our foreign trade by the purchase of a single dollar he is talking solid sense, A Fortunate Woman. 3 Mas.
