THE POOR OPERATIVES, WOMEN AND CHILDREN EMPLOYED IN FACTORIES. BUI Arp Write. Of Them The Crowded Workshops and Poisonous Atmosphere The Third Party. The pictures in last week's Youth's Companion May 21st, of the poor sewing women of Boston are not so bad as the Georgia factory girls in Tt, rv.,t., Kut the- Hpcrrintinn nf 1 11V V.V.I11UI V 1 s-tms, -"- .-.- v. , their miserable condition is worse ana arouses the most intense pity and indignation in the mind of every reader. Is it possible that such in- HATS humanity to helpless women and HATS children is allowed in a Christian HATS land? We do not know Fletcher HATS t Osgood, but he seems to be well ac 11 ATS . credited bv the publishers of that great Boston paper, and as the scene is laid in Boston we take it for grant ed that he has not overdrawn the painful picture. The head line says "Starved and Hopeless Lives." Mr. Osgood has been investigatng and tells us of sixty contract shops in Boston that are operated by Russian or Polish Jews in the manufacture of ready-made clothing. Their work rooms are in the cheapest old build ings that can be found in the worst sections of the city. Some of the shops are reached by six or more flights of stairs, and are invariably foul with accumulated litter and dirt. The rooms are crowded with toiling women and girls, with here and there a boy. The atmosphere is fetid and fatal to health. The workers have an air of suppression about them such as characterizes a gang of prisoners. The majority of these workers are Americans, their ages from seven teen to thirty, but there were some women of fifty-five and some girls not over twevle. They were poorly wressea, many 01 tne iaccs uictvvn atiu haggard, and the expression hard and sad. The work hours are from 7 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock J in the evening, with forty-five min- utes for lunch at noon. The most expert girls earn as much as $5 a week in the busiest season, but their average wages are from $2 to $4 a week. The exacting oversight 01 the bosses forces these workers to an unnatural tension, and then there is the fetid air, the abounding dirt, the forced association of girls with men of unclean habits and filthy speech, and the lowering of the moral tone of the females. No girl is free to "look up from her work," and a min ute late loses her half a day. But the girls can't stop, not for a day, to look for a better place. If they do thev are bovcotted, "and can't get work anywhere. Some of the bosses have a way of "slowing:" the clock so as to get extra time out of the girls. The foreigners are all filthy and use bad language, and the girls cannot escape it. Some of them won't tell where they live. They are ashamed to. They find rooms in old rusty attics in bad localities. 1 hey can t keep up but a few years at most, and then they die of overwork and desti tution. This is an abstract of Mr. Osgood's sketch of these starved and hopeless lives these human machines, whose daily work is killing the body and starvtng the soul these creatures of God trom "hope has withering fled and mercy sighed farewell." Sixty factories in Boston how many more in New York and Brooklyn and Chi cago and Cincinnati ? Will history keep on reapeating itself? It is less than fifty years since Tom Hood wrote "The Song of the Shirt," and now in cultured Boston it fits the time' and the place as well as when he said : Stitch, stich, stitch, In poverty, hunger and dirt, Sewing at once with a double thread, A shroud as well as a shirt: Oh God ! that bread should be so dear And flesh and blood so cheap. Women and children working as prisoners work for crime, and no hope of a better time coming. When farmers feel that they are oppressed they cry aloud, and their wail is heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. But the poor and friendless are too. weak to cry. They can't be heard as far as the nearest church. Compared with these wretched women and children the poorest tarmer m Bartow county is a prince for he always has enough to eat And the sky above his head And the grass beneath his feet. He is a freeman, and cringes not be neath the tyranny of any man, much less under the frown of a Russian or Polish Jew. Friends, American, countrymen, can such things be and we be silent? It matters not where such suffering and misery are found whether in the workshops of Bos- ton or the factories of the north or of the south let our philanthropic men and women seek it out and cry aloud and spare not. Ueoreia has her trusted agents, who are always cj guarding and protecting her prisoners from inhumanity, but who is to pro tect those who have committed no crime ? It takes a great heart to do it, for it is-an' assault upon capital an accusation, and arraignment of the rich at the bar of. public opinion. It is said that Vanderbilt once ex claimed, "The Public be d d," but the public won't be d d. Public opinion is a mighty river, and some times overflows its banks and sweeps everything before it. Illiteracy is not the question before us now. It is never the question with the poor and the oppressed. Slow, pitiless, wasting death that stares one in the face every day is not concern ed about reading or writing. Bread is the first thing. Good food, good clothing, good shelter, some fresh, pure air to breathe, some medicince for the sick and a decent burial for the dead conies before books. If any 1 of these poor girls need reform in their morals, begin with their tempo I ral wants. Hunger and rags won't I hear preaching. A hospital is a good ! thing for the forlorn and desperate 'cases, the sick and dying, but the great work is to do away with the j necessity of the hospital. Healthy work and fair waees will do it. God said to Cain L. The voice 01 tny brother's blood cries unto me from the. ground." And it seems to me that the wrongs of the suffering poor and every death in their miserable homes cry unto God against us. Then let the investigation go on, the search, the arraignment and the re form. It is a lonely, pitiless task. But one man in all England was found who would dare visit the pris ons and cry out for reform. But John Howard did it, and he reform ed them all and brought blessings to thousands of the oppressed. Our good people read the papers eagerly to see the last big advertisement of cheap goods. Cheaper and cheaper they get every week, especially clothing for men and women. Fine linen bosom shirts for 48 cents ! How cheap ! we all exclaim we must buy some how can they afford them at that price? These sewing women can tell you. I never see one of these displayed advertisements, but what I feel a pain, a shadow and an other verse ot Hood s song comes over me. Oh, men with sisters dear, Oh, men with mothers and wives, It is not linen yon are wearing out, But human creatures' lives, The newspapers tell us there is to be a third party and its watch-word will be, '-Down with the plutocracy." Does that mean relief for the poor and inCndless the sewing women, tne factory girls, the starved and hooeless in the slums of the ereat cities or is it just for the farmers anj the noliticians ? Who are the plutocrats, anyhow Am I one Are you one ? I am rich, compared with Cobe. Maybe I am his pluto crat. My nabor Munford is mine and Joe Brown is his and Jay Gould is Joe Brown's. Every man is a plutocrat to somebody. Vhen the downing begins I reckon we will all go to wrestling and try to down somebody. I'll give Cobe a power ful tussle before he shall down me, but I'm afraid to tackle Munford. I think I will let him keep what he has got, if he will promise not to get any more. Now, if the new party will put these poor toilers and bread-winners on the middle plank in their platform and provide homes for them and good work and living wages, I will join it. I here are over 2,000,000 01 them, according to the census 2,000,000 of people who live by the day and have no comforts, no spare time, no rest, no medicine, no dehca cies when sick, no privileges when well. Tariff reform and free coinage of silver are nothing to them but every cent that is added to the priee of cotton or wheat or corn or pota toes is something to them. It makes their food and their clothing cost just that much more. Six months ago corn was 50 cents a bushel now it is $j , and the poor are paying it. But I reckon the new party will fix it up someway so that the farmers can get a big price and the poor pay a little one. The olutocracv outrht to be made to do something something for suffering humanity. Boston is the richest city in the United States. She has over $1,000,000,000 of wealth according to the last census more than $2,000 per capita. New York has less than $1,000 per capita, and yet there are 6,000 sewing women women, and girls in Boston whose slavery is more pitiful than the worst fabricationin "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Talk about literacy and illiteracy what does it prove ? What is edu cation if it does not make peo ple better? An eminent New York preacher said the other day that great wealth was the curse of city churches. They rave of their money freely, but it was like buying indul gences to commit sin. Their hearts were not m the prayers nor the preaching, nor in the Christian work, but were shut up in their pockets. When he tried to interest them the substance ot their reply was : "How much money do you want ?" Now, if plutocracy will do that much for the poor, we will let them off. - Let the preachers go to them, and keep going, and plead for chari ty. It is a bigger thing than trying Dr. Bnggs lor heresy, or Dr. Wood row, or any otner doctor. 1 nere is j no time lor obtruse theology now. It is the day of prrctical Christianity, such as was preached and taught and acted by the fr end of humanity. Friends, countrymen, north and south, let us awake to the long I smothered cry ol the poor j r ' Flutus was the ancient god of wealth. He was a very mean sort of a god, for he distributed his gifts without regard to merit. In fact, he didn't like to give at all, but Jupiter forced him to divide out his money as fast as it accumulated. When he app oached a person to make a gift he was lame and slow-footed, but when he left him to go back to his treasures he unfolded a pair of hid den wings and flew away. Some of our plutocrats are well named, for it is like drawing their eyeteeth to get any charity out of them. But after all, there is some thing to be said in the average rich man s lavor. in one 01 them are misers, that I know of. They do not hoard and hide and keep their ! money to count and look at. The I Astors build houses to rent and that I makes rent cheaoer. lay Gould builds more railroads and pushes them farther and larther into the wilderness, and that opens up new territory for the emigrant, the miners and the cattle men. I never knew a community but what begged for a railroad, and I never knew one but what made war upon it as soon as they got it. There are many pluto crats in Atlanta and Chattanooga, but my observation is their money is al ways doing work. It is building houses or railroads, or invested in iron woiks or manufactories of some kind, and giving employment to labors. If there were no rich men, there would be no progress. It cer tainly is no sin to get rich if it is done fairly. Every man would get rich if he could. I would I know. I've got a gold lot, so-called, that I have owned for thirty years, and if I could sell it for $10,000 it seems to me that I would be quite happy. In fact, I would rejoice to get $5,900 and rather than break a trade $500, would make me feel calm and serene. There are thousands of rich men who came by their money honestly. Elias Howe invented the sewing machine after years of thonght and experiment and the sacrifice of every dollar's worth of his property. It proved a blessing to the world and $5,000,000 in his pocket. McCormick did the same thing with his reaper. In both cases the world got value received and has no right to begrudge them their money, some men get ncn Dy goou luck. I know a man who used to be poor and hard run, but his father-in-law left him twelve acres of poor, marshy land in the suburbs of old Birmingham. It was thought to be worth $1,000 at that time, but he sold it a few years ago on the bulge of the boom for $250,000. There is nothing wrong about that, is there t And yet he Is now a plutocrat. Moore and Marsh and the Risers and Keely and Chamberlin and High and Scott and Van Wrinkle and many others have worked hard and long and got ten rich, but who dares say they are not entided to their earnings Put yourself in their places and say. It is only the money obtainad by fraud that should excite our indignation. Then again there is a big pile of money made by the bulls and the bears off of each other. They say that more than half of Jay Gould's fortune was made off of the million aires who tried to corner him and failed. That does not concern us except for the bad example. If half a dozen gamblers play poker in a room and one of them wins all the stakes it doesn't matter the out siders are no poorer. Fortunes are sometimes inherited and there is nothing wrong about, that. And so before we make a sweeping condem nation aeainst the rich let us inquire how the money came. This cry of "down with the plutocracv" is an in sidious, incendiary, revolutionary 'sentiment and feeds the baser pas sions of mankind. The plutocrats may love money for money's sake and that is a sin, but the envy and covetousness that would rob them are worse sins. But after all it is better, safer and nobler for a rich man to divide out liberally before he dies. George Peabodv and Peter Cooper are in heaven and their memories are en shrined in the hearts of their country men, but if Jay Gould or Astor were to die to-morrow nobody would care outside of their kindred. They .have made no name yet that will endure but it is not too late. Maybe they will, j Bill Arp It is not who your But who are you ? parents were Merit Wins.

The great Cincinnati couference is a thing ol the past. It has made his tory. In the United States of Amer ica the first step toward the forma tion of a new great political party is taken, the chief corner stone being "Equal rights to all, special privi leges to none," and this party stand ing cm this foundation is one against which the united cohorts of greed, avarice and monopoly shall not pre vail. It must win and will rule. The preparations for and gather ing of that conference was watched by the country at large with mingled interest, anxiety and contempt. Drones, and those who are barnacles on the body politic were aroused to some interest. Men and patriots who have long and earnestly been trying to inaugurate a revolution that would restore to the whole people their individual privileges and protec tion were anxious painfully anxious lest there might be some misstep by which all their painstaking efforts might be injured or nullified. Those who hate and try to crush everything but themselves composed the element which tried to brand the conference with contempt. AN UNUSUAL SPECTACLE. The large gathering presented the unusal spectacle of a political assem bly in which there was no packing and in which there was no eftort or purpose to buy or sell. Many men of widely divergent views and strong convictions composed the body. But with all this, "concession" and not "obstinacy" was the characteris tic feature. There was friendly and earnest consultation which soon con centrated and crystalized itself into the shortest, but grandest and most comprehensive platform promulgated by any political party in a third of a century. The work of the convention was a confounding surprise to old partisan and sectional politicians. They pre dicted that the platform would be rotten with numerous and impossible "isms." They misjudged the men whom they were trying to condemn, and they failed to realize that politi cians and great newspapers do not possess all the brains of the country. The work of the convention has eith er caused ominous silence or conserv ative expression among them. WE ARE WITH YOU. The Cincinnati convention is to be followed by another gieat meeting next February, which will be a con vention officially authorized by the great agriculutral labor organizations of the country. More than five mil lions of American citizens will be rep resented. The platform ol the peo pie's party launched at Cincinnati, embodies all the principles which these organizations have supported and pressed into national prominence despite railery, vilhfication and vitu Deration trom so-called leading men who ought to have been their friends and not their enemies, The primary object of the last meeting is to be virtually the same as was that of the first. The national committee of the people's party will attend the Febru ary convention for conference ; and in that conference the Alliance, and other organizations will take the peo pie's party by the hand, and their five millions of members can and will say through their representatives : "your principles are our principles, your platform is our platform ; we are with vou. and will stand by you to the end. ONE OR TWO PARTICULARS. It may be mentioned in particular that the platform of the people s par ty is substantially, if not wholly, the platform, and demands enunciated by the National parmers Alliance and Industrial Union at St. Louis in 1889 and emphasized and reaffirmed at Ocala, Ha., in iSoo, and by the Na tional Farmers' Alliance at Omaha in 1801. And that there mieht be no dodging or misunderstanding about what might not have been meant, the Sub-Treasury plan was specially emphasized and endorsed Another particular to be noted is that the platform was adopted with total unanimity and amid the most trlorious enthusiasm. Still another particular to be noted is that a large number ot the delegates to the con vention were not members of the Farmers Alliance, and not eligible to membership. Friends of the Sub Treasurv olan mav freelv dismiss al doubts or uneasiness as to the ulti mate vtctorv. If the particulars as j A now proposed are not put in opera tion, the principle involved will event ually be established if nothing better can be found. HE IS ,A "POPULIST. There must be some short and easy way of desienating a member of the Third Party. To say "he is member of the People's Party' would be comprehensive enough but would take too much time. Hence forth a follower and affiliator of the People's Party is a "Populist ;" for a new party needs and deserves a new term. HOW THE PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO INTERPRET IT. Some of the phases of the new rev olution have been the endangering of the tenure of honory offices and positions held by men who have heea Promment and influential in the councils of the nation and various states. In instances where such men haye Qr J quiescing m such measures as are being agitated for the public weal, the people have shown impatience, and there have been mu'tterings in dicative of calling forth new men ; and when these mutterings were heard, the man in political danger would be pointed to as a hero and benefactor. "See what he has done for the people" is a common plea for the retention of such men. But the people are not so gullible as they were twenty, ten, or even two years ago. They are be ginning to exclaim : See what we have done for him. We have given him the highest honors ; we have elevated to him to the most honorary positions, and we have kept him there year after year. His name will be in history because we made for him the opportunity. Now we suffer from National legislative irregularities and discriminations, and we ask for relief. He does not heed us. He knows not what to do. Then we pre sent a measure for our relief saying give us this or something better. Mind now, if you can give us anything better, we will thank you and honor you ; but it you cannot, then give us this." And the neoole are dazed and hurt and wounded by the way in which their reasonable requests are received by the man they have hon ored for years. He turns from them pooh-poohing and muttering "uncon stitutional" and offers nothing better. hese are some things the people are perceiving, and that s why they get impatient. COMMENDING THE PRINCIPLE. The Atlanta Constitution comes" squarely to the front and says that the issuing of monev bv the sub- Treasury plan does not involve a greater stretch of Congressional au thority than does much of the legis- ation which has been enacted for commerce and manufactories. 1 he Constitution's article is nothing short of a strong commendation of the sub- Ireasury. This paper is the ac knowledged leading paper in the South, from which section the bitter est opposition to the sub-Treasury system seems to come. The Fort Worth Gazette, one of the most prominent papers in the great state of Texas, recently commended the plan in plain terms. 0n by one they are coming over. A good and great thing is bound to win. THE ALLIANCE CAMPAIGN VIGOR OUSLY SUPPLEMENTED. The great national Alliance educa tional campaign which will be a fea ture of Alliance work this year will be vigorously supplemented by mass meetings, county meetings, encamp ments, etc., all over this whole coun try. Never was there such a stirring up among the people. Never was there such an eager, consuming de sire to study and be informed in great political questions and issues. Never was there such a political neu trality among the masses a jieutral ity that will be preserved until they shall get rock bottom information on the issues of the day, and then they will choose their own course. The speaking and haranging of the polit ical orator will be wasted .breath. During the last week information has been received at Alliance headquar ters of meetings and encampments to be held in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, New York, West Virginia, North Carolina, Ten nessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, Virginia, Arkansas, Texas and other States, and from three to six of these notifications have come from each State. ALL WANT ALLIANCE SPEAKERS. With all these advices come re quests and pleas to send out some good Alliance speakers to address the people who are hungering and seeking the information and light on public affairs which they have either ignored for years or which has been kept from them. A hundred speak ers would scarcely be able to1 fill all demands, but wherever it is possiple the requests are complied with. THE COLORED ALLIANCE. The membership of the Colored Alliance is increasing beyond count. National President Humphrey, writes that the organization is prospering beyond all precedents as far as or ganization is concerned. His great est hindrance is" in the educational line. The demand for literature is far in excess of ability to supply. White organizations having literature which they can dispose of, can do much by forwarding it to President Humphrey, or distributing it among colored Alliances that may be near them. STORMING NEW ENGLAND. A few weeks ago ' it was asserted that the Alliance could never meet with any favor in New Fngland. To day there are Alliance organizations in that famous section. The walls around New Hampshire and Vermont have been breached, and the next State to be invaded will be Massachu setts. The first national organizer will go into that State to work within the next two weeks. A NOTE OF WARNING. Prominent Alliance men have call ed the attention of the Bureau to the fact that many "patent sheets" pro fessed to be issued for and in the in terest of the Alliance, contain as much or more matter of an antago nistic nature to the order than in favor of it. The Alliance expects and invites discussion ; but such groundless misrepresentations and unwarrantable attacks as have been noticed in some Alliance papers which use "patent sheets" ought not to be disseminated by Alliance organs. Editors who use these sheets should be careful to stipulate that no matter except such as deals fairly and favor ably with the Alliance shall appear in them. H. W. Aver, M'g'r Reform Press Bureau. Dr. G. W. Earle, Pickens, S. C, writes: "I recommended B. B. B. to a man who had suffered for years with a malignant ulcer on his leg, that seemed to resist all other treat ment. After using four or five bot tles the ulcer began to heal and his is now sound and well." Those who would go to heaven when they die, must begin their heav en while they live. Henry. Dyspepsia's victims are numbered by thousands. So are the people who have been restored to health by Hood's Sarsaparilla. The man who works for the good of others is taking God's way to gain strength for himself. Assist the child in time. Do not wait until an army of worms have been recruited and the health of the child destroyed. A few doses of Shriner's Indian Vermifuge, the in fallible remedy, never fails to do the work well, if used according to the directions. The man who wilfully wrongs an other is helping the devil to tie a rope around his own neck. Catarrh in New Knglantl.

As the season moves swiftly toward the boundary lines that lie between winter and Spring, it frequently hap pens that the human system, which has borne the strain ofWinter, shows signs of relaxaUon. In all ages this period has been noted as a dangerous one. A course of the great blood purifier and tonic, S. S. S., will ena ble the most delicate to face the sea son's changes with impunity. It is medicine that not only strengthens the weak and the delicate, but is an additional safeguard for those who consider themselves strong. Friendship at its greatest height is stronger than love.

We endeavor to tel honestly what Hood's Sarsaparilla is and what it will do, but what it has done is far more important and far more potent. Its unequalled record of cures is sure to convince those who have never tried Hood's Sarsaparilla that it is an excellent medicine.
