The Express surrenders considerable of its space this morning for Gen. Butler's letter of acceptance, or "address to the people," as he designates it. It is long but it is interesting reading, and many will yant to read it out of curiosity. The letter is written in the truly eensitional style and the subheadings, which are his own, show Gen. Butler to bo an adept in the art of writing an article, long or Bhort, very iuterestiDg to the general public.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: "The Republicans of the Eighth In diana district popiit to be ableto defeat Mr. Lamb, who has just been renomi nated by the Democrats. Mr. Lamb voted with the free-trade cranks in the house la6t winter directly against the beet interests of the manufacturing industries of Terre Haute and other towns in the district. Two years ago he was elected by a plurality of less than 300 over his Republican competitor." The Vincennes News, a Democratic newspaper, in some Bense agrees with the Globe-Democrat when it says: "Mr. John E. Lamb's renom ination for congress by the Democrats of the Terre Haute district was a vindi cation of his treachery in voting with the Republicans on the vital question of tax reduction that we do not believe tiie people will ratify at the polls. George Converse, the Ohio traitor, was left, and BO Mr. Lamb should have been but we presume that the old notion that every public servant must be given a second term whether his first has been creditable or not was more potent in the convention than the question of Mr. Lamb's disloyalty It is a paving grace that the people cannot be influenced."

Lincoln's First Inauguration, Washington Correspondence Boston Traveller There are living in Washington today two gentlemen who were the com mittee appointed by the loyal citizens of Washington to make arrangements for the first inauguration of President Lincoln. These two gentlemen are Hon. 0. Z. Bobbins and Hon. Levi Clephane. When Lincoln came to Washington these two gentlemen insisted that he should be inaugurated at the Capitol. General Scott went over to President Buchanan and strongly advised that the inauguration ceremonies tako place at Willard's hotel. He said that it would be positively dan gerous to attempt to go to the Capitol, but Buchanan said that inasmuch As Mr. Lincoln had been elected president he should be inaugurated with all the honors and in the same manner as were all his predecessors. Pickets were stationed from the white house to

state of things into their own hands, ever will be the rule that the wages of labor are only so much and no more as will support him and his wife and children in the lowest degree of comfort when all of them are at work who can work.

In addition to this imported cheap labor, and the use of convict labor at a nominal price wherever it could be had, thereby debasing and lowering the high standard of American labor, the perfection of machinery, by which so great a share of production is effected, has so lessened muscular effort in labor that capitalists have been enabled to utilize the labor of women and children to a very large extent to do that work which men formerly did. Ttna the workingman's wife and sisters are made the instruments of lowering his own rate of wages. but it will be said, surely to employ the women and children profitably cannot be objectionable. Certainly not if it is profitable to themselves, their fathers aud husbands and the country.

How stands the fact? Woman's labor is employed in manufactories at a very much lees price than men's labor, even that poor quality of men's labor imported from abroad, while women and even children can do that class of labor equally well with the best of men. Laboring men thereby are thrown out of employ, or else compelled to work at unretnunerative prices. Thus capital gets still further advantage of a tariff put on imported articles as iB claimed to enable the American producer to pay more to American labor than the foreign laborer receives as wages. It will therefore be seen that c&pital, thus taking to itself as a rule from the poor mechanic, who invents them, all the good gifts of God given to mankind in improvement in machinery for production, uses those improvements for the purpose of still further lowering the wages of the American workman by the employment of women and female children to tend this improved machinery. To illustrate the extent to which this has gone, there are 90,000 females in Massachusetts alone, one-sixth of the wage people, working at wages out of their own homes at an average not more than 50 per cent, of what is paid to males. These Wrongs Tai»t tiie Very Life Blood «.f iliu People.

This condition of things isnot one affecting economic questions alone, but it goes to the very vitality of the nation. I do not say that a workingman employed at the bench or the machine cannot be the father of as healthy children, both in body and mind, as if not so employed. On the contrary, I think him far more capaWe in that direction than is the idle and effeminate consumer of other men's works without labor, who has incapacitated his manly powers, perhaps, by his vices and therefore the infusion of fresh blood from the farm and the workshop has been found necessary to sustain the business prosperity of the cities. But I do say that no wife, or mother, from whom physiologists tell us the child must receive largely its mental endowments, was intended by the Almighty to spend her young years or mature age in standing for many hours a day behind a counter, or confined in tending a machine.

If the laboring woman had the ballot she would be able, with the assistance of her husband, father, and brother, to right this great wrong, but being denied it she becomes virtually a slave!

Employ women if you will and must, but let it be at the same remunerative wages when they do the same work as men, so they may at the earliest moment release themselves from thraldrom.

The Republican party has released the colored man from bondage and given him the ballot for his protection. Why, in the scorce of years since, has not that party by the same species of class legislation saved the white women of the nation from deteriorating its children?

With an overwhelming majority, Republicans have spent months and months in devising laws for the elevation of womanhood in the territory of Utah. Be it so Why has not some Republican statesman given a few hours in these latter years when, southern troubles have passed away, or been overlooked, to the question whether the women of the nation, if not protected by other legislatson, should not be allowed tho ballot with which to protect themselves, as that party gave it for like purposes to the negro.

For these reasons, a tariff which gives to capital protection upon the ground that thereby American labor may be protected, has too often turned out by means, some of which I havo mentioned, to be simply the enhancement of the profits of capital, while labor still remains substantially unrewarded, and certainly without any-just share of the profits.

Herein, as experience has shown, the laboring classes have nothing to hope from the Republican party. The first and only object of protection in laying duties should be to protect labor, and never to prolect capital, which can be left to protect itself as it is amply able to do. It should, moreover, be restrained from getting more than its fair share of the profits of production and transportation. Kor Has Labor Any Hops From That

Party to Aid lis Necessities or Protect Its Rights. The Republican party has granted subsidies to railroads and steamships, erected many and expensive public buildings, spent many millions in opening the mouth of the Mississippi and leveeing its bands, and many millions in improving rivers and harbors. These grants amount, to a sum equal to "half tho national debt. Without criticising the propriety of these grants, although some of them are open to criticism, yet these are all aids to the capitalist and land owner.

Point me to one grant or act in aid or the workingman. I do not forget the eight-hour law for government laborers aed mechanics, but there never has been honesty and power enough in Republican administration to enforce that law.

When in congress I introduced a bill and advocated it as well as I could that congress grant aid to families of laboring men in cities to settle on the public lands in the west and make homes for themselves, and as communities be able to protect themselves against the Indians and thus dispense with the cost of the army. It slept in the proper committees of a Democratic house and Republican senate the sleep of all proposals in favor of labor that knows no waking.

This bill would have begun another much needed reform, the reduction to a skeleton of the regular army, which is expensively useless in time of peaoe.

Let congress expend half of the vast sum. thirty millions, now appropriated to the army for its varied expenditures, in organizing and disciplining the militia to be trained under the authority of the states, instead of the paltry two hundred thousand dollars heretofore given anh we shall have a military force as a reliance in every emergency, like the trained and organized militia of Massachusetts and the National guard of New York, the first armed bodies at the capital when in danger in '61.

The Republican party has in its ranks many ood, true and conscientious men, who followed its fortunes and carried its elections because it protected the labor of the south in its rights, and claimed to protect the laborer of the north in his wages.

I call the attention of sueh men to the fact that that party has failed to do either. Laboring men are out of employment and starving, after a quarter of a century of Republican rule. Nay, more! It is well known in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and how far in other parts of the north I leave the good and just minded of those localities to speak, capital has coerced the votes of the laboring men to its own purposes by threats, intimidation, and in some cases worse means. The negro of the south, also, cannot go to the ballot-box for fear of the shot-gun, and if he does the ballot-box staffer puts in two votes to neutralize his one.

To the substantiation of these facts, I call upon the laboring men of both sections to bear witness. Is it not so? Yon know as I know you feel as I feel upon this matter. I submit to the producer, whether the farmer, the mechanic or the laborer, whether he has any hope as against the inroads of capital upon the rights of labor or the grasp of monopolies which absorb all the profits of production,1 until we have in this country, even in its routh, almost infancy as regards the length Of life of nations, richer men than in any other country in the world, however enslaved that country may be, for a man cannot be poorer than starvation. Republican Legislation oil Finance Responsible (or the Present Distressed

State of Business. In the matter ef finance there is nothing to hope from the Republican party, any more than from the Democratic party. The bankers and capitalists of both parties unititing together have controlled for twenty years the financial legislation of the nation. And the result? What have we just seen? With money enough in the country for all its wants with no substantial drain from abroad with an accumulation of wealth such as the world never has seen with a crop of corn and wheat almost nntouched, and another one about to be garnered with a stock of petroleum already produced sufficient for the consumption of the world for a year with nearly a year's stock already pro­

Greenback Kfmeily for Financial tils. We, the despised Oreenbackcrs, offered a remedy for all this which no reflecting, keensighted business man will now say wduld not have been effectual. Myself in congress more than fifteen years ago proposed that instead of issuing a Unitod States bond which would be held by capitalists only, and for the purposo of securing a bank currency only, congress should make an interconvertible bond at a low rate of interest, to be issued by the govern, ment, eo that any man might invest in it in1 stead of placing his money in savings banks or trust companies to be loaned out on margins on kiting stocks, and then lost when he called for it-. That bond bearing three and sixty-five one-hundredt-hs per cent, interest, to be presented by the holder at any time to the treasury, and legal tonders to be issued for it, and thus the interest to that amount of the national debt accrues to the government instead of beirg paid by it from the taxes of the people. And then when anoUler bond was desired by the investor, one should be issued by the government, and interest thereon begin.

The time has come When the greenback sustained by the supreme court as a constitutional currency against the opinions of the paid attorney of every financier of the country. The time will come if the people of this country can get the dutch of monopoly of its currency off its throat, when such a system of finance as I have sketched will give freedom to the industrial and business interests of the country from the terrible fluctuations which the people now suffer. We Want no Cnnnl but Ours Across the

Isthmua.

It will be observed that I put in my platform a plank against the construction of Panama ship canal without the couBont.pf^tjho United States.

I hold such a canal in time of peace destruc tivc to our commerce. San Francisco has become an entrepot of goods of which the products of American industries form a large part for distribution over the western coast of North America which commerce we now control. Make this canal, and England dominates that commerce, as she now does that of the western coast of Central and South America.

In time of war with the Panama canal open, England seizes it by her immense navy, anil from thence can ravage and blockade our whole Pacific coast. This'she cannot do now. because she owns no coaling station nearer than the Sandwich Islands, from which it will be quite impossible to supply a blockading fleet.

Our three systems of railroads across the continont, when run in competition and not in collusion, can carry our productions to tho western coast chaaply enough,and in that case, at least, the freight will be paid to our own citizens.

So in peace or in war we must control that canal. The Republican party has done nothing to protect the interests and dignity of the country in this behalf, and the Democracy refuse to promise to do anything! The People get Nothing From the Old

Parties.

Experience, the best teacher, therefore establishes the fact that commerce, the industries, the laboring man, the anti-monopolist, the gresnbacker, the farmer or other small producers, all of whose interests are identical, can get or hopo nothing from either or both of the present organized parties.

The Republican party is bound hand and foot to capitalized monopoly. The Democratic party is governed in its conventions by a combination of a solid sobth, from whence no loboring man, white or black, Is a delegate, and where the aristocracy of capital alone is heard, and the political machine corruptions of substantially a single state of the north, which confederacy dominates its platform and nominates its candidates and holds them firmly in its grip if elected.

The People the flovernlng C'ass. What then is the duty of the classes of the men just enumerated, in the coming national election? They, by numbers as well as intelgence—for everybody knows more than anybody,—ought to be the governing classes, under the theory of our constitution. They stand in the-same social, business and other relations to the class of men in the old parties who believe they are of right the governing class, and who, in fact, by the control of party and other machinery are the governing class, as did our fathers in the time of the revolution to the clergy, the officials and offshoots of British aristocracy who claimed to b9. and believed they were the governing classcs

Orclare Tour Iudependence. You havo the power to make this government your government as did your fathers. This can only be done by acting together! Be not deceived, stand by each other! Let the people unite for the good of the people! To prevent snch union has been the policy of the leaders, monopolists of all-shades of opinion, enemies of the people, who while they join together in fact in control of the government, claim to belong to different parties. You know that it makes no difference to you whether one set of them or the other is in power, no burden on the people is lightened, no monopoly crashed. Whoever Wins, the Worklngmvn Gets

Only a Curse.

Whichever party carries on the government, laboring men and women are permitted to enjoy only the benefits of the primeval CURSE "In tho sweat of thy face shalt thou oat bread." You enjoy none of God's blessings! Why not? Yeu earn and produce them all—all that He vouchsafes to man,save the air we breathe. They are yours in the sight of high heaven! Stand together and a just share of them is yours.

In other lands the just rightaof the people are only to be got out of the hands of their enemies and rulers by the bayonet and the bullet. But in America as vet, thank God and your brave fathers, the ballot, the freeman's shield and sword, is left to you, and you. can if you stand together protect yourselves against all oppressive, unjust and purchased legislation, which burdens the people and undermines the free institutions of your country. The Ballot In Danger from tho British

Forty.

How long will the precious ballot be left to every freeman? The people must act now and assert their power, or they may lose it forever.

Already the British party in this country, those who ape the British aristocracy, wear clothes which are imported, largely without paying duties, because they feel that an American mechanic cannot make cloth good enough for them can only be waited upon by British servants, and cut their whiskers even, British fashion, so as to appear as unAmerican as possible are saying to each other: why should the lower classes have the ballot,'' and thus the masses rule the Country against us? Or, as one of their magazines published in Boston expresses it, A few Old families have the traditional right to govern the politics of Massachusetts. So that in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as a beginning, we find each legislature striving in its turn to throw every obstruction, hindrance, and impediment in the way to prevent the poor man exercising a freeman's right to cast his ballot, and to drive him from the polls by requiring money qualifications and all other devices that ingenuity may invent. By these means Rhode. Island is governed by the few and not by the many by an aristocracy of birth and wealth, and not by the people. In the lata general election for members of Conpees in that State, 5021 votes only were thrown all parties in the election of a member of Congress, while at the West where a free ballot is still in the hands of every man, at the same election 68,286 votes were required in the election of a congressman.

And this is called equal representation of the people in the government! Let every true American ponder upon these figures and inquire, whither is the conntry drifting? If snch inequalitis aro possible in -the beginning^ what will be the aid? Let the people arise in their might and bring back the government where our revolutionary fathers placed it, en the foundation of freedom, with aqdal rights, equal burdens, equal privileges, and equal powers to all men.

keep the people of the country voting according to party lines they can govern the country whichever party prevails. Did it need evidence of this it would be in the declaration ascribed to the largest and ablest railroad king in the country, Mr. Gould, who is said to have testified before a committee, in substance, that when he had a Democratic legislature to manipulate he was a Democrat, and whenever a Republican legislature he was a Republican. That is to say, to carry his measures, he helped elect, bv his money. Democrats and Republicans indiscriminately but both sets of his members were always Gould men.

No monopolist cares which party wins. He is only anxious that the nominating convention of each party should nominate a candidate whom he aan control.

Thus are the people played with and kept apart by tho Fetish called "party allegiance," ever bound to the chariot wheels of their oppressors.

Labor Never Wins, and Why? Might we not learn something from the fate of flie African negroes? In their own country efu had its Fetish and they fought each other for its supremacy, and both sides sold the prisoners captured in those battles to the white mm as slaves. So the laboring man votes for hio Fetish, the Democratic party and the farmer votes for his Fetish, the Republican party, and4he result is that both are handed ovor as captives of the corruptionists and monopolists whichever side wins.

And if to any it seems differently, let him reflect that among the common people of the country there is no political bribery, corruption, or desire to do anything except to have good government, under which, men may earn for themselves and their families a wholesome subsistence and a fair competence.

Every convention of either party is preprevented, if possible, from nominating any pronounced friend of the laboring man or Anti-Monopolist to high oSSce. Witness the fate of Mr. Thurman, the most accomplished Democratic statesman of all, in the convention calling itself Democratic, at Chicago.

Vote 'together, Is the Only Remedy. What then is the remedy for these so monstrous evils? How can the people, the true Democracy, repossess themselves of their government, to make laws to protect their own interests and to redrees these great wrongs and causo the plundorers to disgorge their robberies from the treasury? V«U fur Third Party You Will Not

Lose Your Vote.

ai

The cry lias already gone forth:— If this people put a third candidate in tho field those who vote for him will throw away their votes." Be it so. The voter will do worse than worse throw away his vote if he votes for either candidate of the Monopolists. Such vote thereby perpetuates the rule of his oppressors without protest-, if by his vote he puts or keeps either in power.

The same argument was used in 1848 to the abolitionists, that they should not vote for Van Buren to establish free soil. And again the same cry went out in 1852 when the Whig and Democratic parties made the samo platform on tho slavery question to crush out the Abolition party forever. But the true-hearted Free-Soilers stood firm and appeared, if you pleaso, to throw away their votes but though the Democracy elected their candidate with only four states in opposition, yet in 1856 the Free-Soilers, the despised third party, elected Fremont, who was counted out by the returning boards of that day, but the Whig party was destroyed. And in 1860 by the third party of '52, Lincoln was elected and the Democratic party was worse than destroyed. As its majority gravitated to treason and armed rebellion I left it then to serve the country as now I do.

Fear not. The people will not havo to wait eight years for their triumph. Everything, including politics, travels faster now, as there are more railroads and telegraphs to distribute intelligence.

In politics, as in everything else, there is a seed time and harvest. He who expects to reap must sow, and he can't reap when he ought to be sowing, and the presidential crop is harvested only once in four years.

Toaet

In framing your electoral ticket, make a fusion in all the states with the supposed minority, and make it upon this theory not that you are going to vote for the electors of any candidate opposed to your interests, not that tho friends of the other candidate are going to vote for yours, but agree that you will run the same electoral ticket, providing tho electors who oompose it ate as they ought to be, reputable men who will be bound by their honorable undertakings, which is all there is that binds the electoral college according "to the number of votes thrown for the other candidate on the same ticket. The number of votes which each candidate gets will bo known with substantial accuracy long before the official count is made. Therefore you will have every incentive to vote for your candidate because the larger number of votes you cast the more electoral votes will your candidate get, and the less will the other have And t&ose who are voting for the same electors with you will throw as many votes as they can for their candidate in order that he shall have as large a share of the electoral vote of the state as possible, neither in fact voting for the candidate of the other. Thus you will show your strength and hold the balance of power, /--y'

Organize,

Organize in every state, and present at the polls an electoral ticket, and support it with your votes.

When the word "organize" is used, at one# springs up to the mind the political machines which have been created, caucuses, conventions, and delegates who can be bought and sold in the market like sheep the contrivances by which the people's enemies have conspired to take away their rights.

By that word I mean nothing of that sort-. Organize in your workshop agree to vote together for one ticket. There need to be no great and expensive meetings. You can vote together without a brass band just as well as you can with one. Torchlight processions are an invention of your enemies to deceive you into following their banner and,Marching to their music, and into not voting for your own interests, and the interests of your wives and your children.

Therefore let the people stand together and vote together and sow the seeds of a great and victorious party, if not at this election, at the next. If you do not sow now, you will not reap then nor is it at all certain that the seed has not been already sown, and will fructify by your votes into a substantial if not complete viotory at this election.

The People's Party Will Triumph. The producers, the workingmen, the greenback men and anti-monopolists are already organized, and if men will but vote their convictions, irrespective of deluding party cries, the people can achieve a viotory now and there is no power on earth that can prevent it. Let us thon organize a "People's party," representing every shade of political belief that a true Democrat, or a true Republican, loving his country, loyal to her free institutions, wishing for her prosperity and glory, which alone can be had when the people are prosperous, when the laborer is fully paid, aad when there a fair division of the production of enterprise or labor, can or ought to hold.

It seems to me certain that at worst, even in the infancy of our organization, we can hold the balance of power between the two old parties so that^if we cannot wholly prevent bad and unjust legislation, we can force them to band together to enact it, and thus show themselves in form, as they are in fact, confederated against the people.

Klect Congressman.

In many states, if we exert our strength, we already hold the balance of power. In quite one hundred congressional districts lees than one thousand votes will determine whether a friend of labor and the people, or the tool of monopoly shall have a. seat in congress. Let us organise, therefore, in every district, to see to it that no man goee to congress from any district who is not with us aud of us strong enough in moral rectitude to stand for the rights of the people "unawed by power and unfcought by gain."

Elect State Legislatures.

Again, in balanced states make an alliance with whichever of the other parties will choose so to do. Minorities naturally gravitate toward each other. Give them some state officers and take others to -yourselves upon an agreement that both parties shall rote the same ticket. Be particular to see to it that your own friends are sent to the state legislatures. There are many states where laws are needed for the protection of the workingmen, the burner and the merchant against oppressors and monopolies, and if

these

gether, they can get that protection in spite of the monopolist. For example, in the state of New York as elsewhere, the producers and traders and consumers need cheap transportation and competition between water-borne freight and the railroads. The laboring men and toiling women want a five-cent-fare law for the elevated railroad. The mechanics need a good iienlaw. All need a law to limit the hours of labor, whether a woman toiling in a mill or standing belkind a counter, or a conductor or driver standing on a car.

If anybody tolls you that this is class legislation, reply to him, "Yes, we know it we are legislating for our class a little while for it is the first time we have had an opportunity. The other class has had legislation enough to last them for a hundred years." To the Greenback Labor Party and the

For reasons that I have made apparent,'your principles were rejected and your alliance spurned. Personally I have no grievance with the convention. I was treated with every courtesy and consideration by its officers and members, for which I take pleasure here and now to expressa obligations. But for you I have a grievance. The Democracy has left you to fight the battle against the oppressors of the people alone. We will fight the battle of the people together in the best manner we can, and I pledge to you all that I have of remaining strength in declining years to do all that in me lies in behalf of the principles that you and I hold dear, and without the early prevalence and adoption of which this government cannot stand.

You will have one advantage in your candidate you will have to spend no time in defending him. His doings have been known to the country for more than a quarter of a century. Every act of his life has been under a microscope lighted by the lurid fires of hate and slander. He is yet unharmed, and has no opinion to take back, no policy to recant, and no just charge to explain for what he has done either in peaoe or war.

Of personal advantage to myself nothing can accrue. I am too old to make selfish plans for the future yet I hope as my last political act, if it so be, to do some service to the people and mankind in calling back the government to the purpose for which it was framed by our fathers, a government of the people, a government by the many, and not by the few, nor for the interests of the few.

To the Democratic Parly of MatsachutelU As your representative 1 carried the principles which you have twice over enunciated as your platform in your state conventions, and asked that they be adopted by the National convention. That they were acceptable to the people I know, for they sustained you to victory once in form, and again to viotory in fact, by a larger vote than Massachusetts ever gave any defeated candidate for chief magistrate—88,000 more than our choice for president, General Hancock, got two years hefore. I had hoped to see the party of the people, which should be the true interpretation of the word Democracy, adopt that platform, t^id go on to victory nnder it, and carry out its beneficent professions in behalf of the weak and lowly who need protection at the hands of a true Democratic government.

To withdraw as much as possible all personal considerations from interfering with my duties as your representative in upholding your cause and carrying forward your principles, I did not permit my name to come before the convention in candidature, although I am instructed that the fact ft, and I glory in it, that I was the unanimous choice of the Democratic people of our state.

The convention for reasons, and under circumstances that I have hereinbefore stated rejected your principles spurned your platform, and instead of taking any statesman of the Democracy, nominated a gentleman whom two years ago there were not forty voters in your ranks knew lived on earth. I cannot be bound by the action of such a convention, so regardless of the in teres tt of the people and of Democratic usages, and I so told that body.

Party allegiance oarried to such an extent is neither democratic nor useful. I shall, therefore, unite myself with the laboring men and the true democracy of the country, to do my endeavor with them to bring back the government into control of the people, and I invite every good citizen, of whatever political faith to join the "PEOPLE'S PARTY," to purify and reform tho administration and redress the wrongs done by oppressive legislation.

There are some who call tiiemselves Democrats that I would a little rather would not come with us they are not of us. To the honest and fair-minded Democrats who have acted with me but now believe their duty lies in an opposite direction, I bid a kindly political farewell until their conscientious patriotism shall bring them back in the near future tx labor with me again in the people's cause, admitting that if I saw not too wisely, I saw better than they did the necessity for a change from party to country.

Lowell, Mass., August 12,1884. [NOTE. I have issued this address At an earlier day than I had intended, at the desire of many trusted and valued friends, but somewhat against my own judgment, because I think that the psople's campaign should be a short, sharp, and decisive one, and should not be begun in fact, except perhaps a skirmish or two, until some thirty days later and I had hoped to have had the advantage of a distinct statement of principles by the Democratic candidate for tho presidency, and ascertained from his own declarations whether recanting some of his public opinions he might not show himself better than the official action of his •party has shown itself by its platform.]

I Don't Feel Like Work.

It makes no difference what business you are engaged in* whether you are a reacher, a merchant, a mechanic, a awyer or a common laborer, you can't do your work well while you are half sick. Thousands try to, but all in vain. How much better to keep your organs in good order by taking Parker's Tonic when you feel "a little out of sorts." It would be money in your pocket. One hour of good rejoicing health is worth half a dozen hours fall of languor and pain.
