The above id the name of a new party that bus been brought into existence in several Northern States inco tbo great strike. Iu tunda- netital principle is the protection of labor by legislation, viz : repre sentation of labor in municipal and Stat LogiHiatures aTnl Congress, re peal of all oppressive laws againet labor, and the enactment ot laws to protect labor. - a This movo is the first blat of steam into the engine of revolution, that has for its 6tartii.g point the sanction of lcgal:ty. The fire from which has emanated this puliation was kindled by the great outrage against law, that the injured and overrun Iuborers of the North, in the into cet of their home and farnilicn, committed when they, with only jus tice and muscle as weapons, attempt ed to coerce capital and brains to treat them like freemen and not like slaves. There is no doubt about the justness of their measure, gaunt star vation has been staring at them with its glaring eyes, for four -ears, and patiently they have waited hop iii; in vain tor relit f. Tbo Pandora's box out of which has sprung this scourge is the specie resumption act passed by the Radical 44th Congress, let that act be repealed by Congress at its session in. October, and by the first day of January, 1878, there would not be a silent factory or shop, forge or mine, that gives em ployment and just remuneration to laborers in the country. Con gress will not 4 repeal the u' t, and why? because it is not its own, it belongs to the Jay Goulds, and Tom Scot Is ot the country, and is bought wilb a price. These mountbanks that control tho Bullion cf the coun try, the Railroad kings, the Wall Street giants, and the bloated bond holders, say unto Congress, do this, and it is done. The majority ot the House of Representatives are Demo crats but the House of Representa tives will not pass a bill repealing the resumption act, because the mouied oligarchs of the country will that it should rot; and if one hun dred thousand dollars are not enough to satisfy those representatives of the people for their cruel neglect of the interests of the great masses, one million of dollars is. Those money ogres, the bond holders, and bankers and Railroad, and corporation kings, own the rresident ana . bis Labintt. Congress, State 'Executives, and Liegis latuns, Courts, lawyers, County and Municipal governments, and almost the entire press of the country. Their Kwer is.boundless, their influ ence, (through their dollars) supreme their acts to the country are like the breath of the pestilence, wither whatever they touch.. They held loose tho purse strings and let forth a plelboria of currency throughout the North, East and West, and for cotton it spread it to the South, un til real estate was enhanced in value! to twice or thrice its worth, and with its ephemeral increase fol lowed the taxes, until the wealth of the country was estimated at four fold its real 'worth. The people were happy, though a mortgage cov ered three fourths of the real estate of the country, and then they locked tbo exchequer, and with a recoil that swept over the land like the blast of a tornado, the superficial value of the country was blotltdout of existence. In New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, property that sold for ten thousand dollais five years ago, will not sell for one thousand today, merchants in the northern cities that could command hundreds ot Thous ands of dollars then are suspended bankrupts now. This deadly blast effects every portion of this broad land, we see it all around us, here at home, property that five years ago would have brought twenty thous and dollars, and be alive with busi ness, is now silent, and will not bring half its real value, and so we might go on and add to the recital of the abuses that the Railroad cor poration, and bond holding dema gogues of the country aro heaping upon it, but this is enough. If the people of tho country at tbo next congressional election will unite and elect to Congress, men whom they can trust to legislate against this monicd oligarchy, they will secure their deliverance, before that terrible event Cf the specie pall, shall scatter . r c u ; . I ,1 i, A ill over lue iaco ut iuia iauu iuc jauui of financial death in 1880. Ohio wa9 the battle ground against the bond holders and banters four years ago, but Wall street was too power. ful, and Gov. Allen,, the laboring man's friendr was defeated by the miserable fraud that is now the king penguin of tho Wall street gods, R. B. Hayes. This year in Oc- toberthe baltlo will be fonght over again, and if the people unite for the good of the masses against the money giants, there will be a break in the storm cloud that v ill soon scatter him again. The Hindoo baby hangs sane room their little son was sleep the blackness, and tho bright shin- in a basket from the roof, and is ing in a little trundlebed, and at the ing beams of prosperity return to give joy to the suffering nation. The Protection Labor party will accom- plish its design if it uniU to crush this monieu Hydra, it is not an old pnrty movement, it is neither, Whiqf, Democrat or -Republican. The Re publican party has made the bond holder, it has made tbs national banks, it has crushed trade, blasted commerce, closed up ' Factories, stopped forges and furnaces, and murdered industries,and the laboring men in the North and West have made the Kepubhcan party. Ihe ... laboring horses will be guilty of such suicide no longer, that seals the death of Radicalism. The Demo cralic party is not hopelessly lost in this new revolution, but its apa thy in the past Jconcerning this grand measure of the prosperity of the . c . K Will it at lhi Insl nn:il death . .... . hour, take bold with the Protection Labor party to rescue itself from ruin, and ine country, irom toe a. a ". throes of financial death? We await and see. This Labor Parly means .revolution. It may, and perhaps must teardown both the Republican and Democratic structures, in order to establish its triumph, and it may even then fail, and the bond bolder became tho Lords, tho titled oli garchs of the land, and the laborers of every class, that are iffoi in the na tional financial riiijr. become the oppressed serfs of an aristociatica' despotism, that a Russian noble would blush a, but if that event should occur, it will be only when a. a - i t I I . the liberties of the people have gone down in a sea of blood, more terrible than this country has ever seen Tho Iew York "Times" Re- viewing the Fall Trade.
