Ferrow Citizexs :—A great crisis in your individual and industrial affairs is | upon you. | More than one-half of the iron works of the country are idle: More than one-half of the spindles of | the country are idle : More than one-half of the miners sre idle or on short time : More than one-fourth of the working | capacity of our transportation lines are idle : | With overflowing granaries hunger stares the workingman in the face : | With overflowing production of cot- | ton and woolen goods the workingman sees and feels the daily need of proper clothing for himself and family : With beavily ters the merchant sees no demand for laden books and coun his wares: With plants idle nearly fifty millions dollars half our iron manufacturing worth of iron and steel was imported last year: With our laborers idle hundreds of thousand of foreign paupers aad con tract labor slaves, the surplus spawn of the foreign breeding-grounds of despot. ism, socialism, pauperism, and tiousness, have been supplant or degrade native or natursl- ized American labor. All the now upon us, and all that stares the face, is the result of this licen- misery | us in labor impor. tation and the inhuman mon ypolistic icy of con® acting the money of the country. The United States Treasury held on the Ist of July $487,573,851 of gold, = ver and legal tender money the certificates or $32 and business as though sunk in the sea, | and every dollar of which which, in use-8167.573.651 ),000,000, was as useless for labor | was and is needed in business : The United States ted near £500,000,000 worth of dutiable goods in the last year, the product in pot of foreign labor and foreign machinery, while our mills and labor were idle, £300,000,000 worth of which could and ought to have been made in this country. The United States have more than two millions of four years, for there need in the shrinking condition imported laborers in none of whom was of our business, These conditions are radically wrong and require a radical remedy, The remedy can only come through political action The old parties offer no remedy, but an unseemly fight as to which shall have the 100,000 federal offices, The National or Peoples Party de- mands a prompt and efficient remedy, and points out the means, By your votes in 1877 you compelled the old parties to adopt a portion of your principles, enough to set the people at work, and give us what prosperity we had from 1579 to 1883, Your present duty is to organize for the coming election. Organize in your shops ; organize in your fields ; in your school houses, in your townships, in your counties, in your legislative snd congremional ds tricts, and send delegates to this congen ton. “Organize because it is your duty to your own families, to humanity and to God.
