Philip's coat. Vntl and tmusera were remnants of three dif fereirt suits none of reevnt rut. The contrast was made sharper by'the easy condescension of the oldor man and the rather awkward def erence of Philip, aud it moved Mrs. Tramlsj to whbier. as her busbund helped her aboard the train 'Suppose be were to take you at yuur word.

Everything wasnsw. and stranga, nothing was repellent, and much was interesting and amusintu' waat OHira ouuld they have hoped for anywhere oven In Paris I Tlie funn was good and well managed, the rooms neat and comfortable, though old fa&tiioiiitd. and the people intelligent, tboagb tltss Imucui pro- nounced them-"awfully funny. r The bead of the family was one of the many farmen who "took boarders to give his own family opportunity to see people somewhat unlike their own circle of acquaintances an oppor tunity which tbey seemed unlikely ever to And in any other way. bad be beea able te crjooso.

"Edgar. Mr Tramlay would say, "you know Mr Hayn is only a common farmer. "He's respectable, and thoroughly under stnisis hb own business.' the husband replied -"two reasons, estbsr of wuicb is good enough to make me like a man, unless bu happens to be disagreeable. 'Uommou f armor! why, I'm only a cxunmon Iron merchant, my dear.' That's different, protested Mrs. Tramlay. "Is itl , WalL don't try to explain how, little woman, twill be sura to give you a tares days' bood:cb. ' -- Ho Tramlay continued to devote hours to chat with bis boat, pressing high priced cigart on biin. and sharing the farmer's pipes and obaocu in return. He found that Hayn, like any other farmer with brains, had done seine hard thinking in tba tboosauux of days wnen his bands were employed at common work, and that bis views of affuirs in general, out side of the iron trade, were at least as sound aa Tram lay own, or tboaa of any one whom Tramlay knew iu tho city.

In tho name and ou bchaif of tho people of thU country, the following prcamblu and doclaratlon of princi ples: The conditions tmrrounding ns best Justify our co-operation; wo meet in the midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, political and material ruin. Corruption dominate tho bal lot box, the IcKUlaturo. tho confrress, and touches even the iTiiiina of tho bench. The people are demoralized; most of tbe Btalcs have lmen compelled to isotato tlie voteraat the polling place, to prevent universal intimi dation or bribery. The ucwpipers are lartro ly subsidized or muzzled; public opinion ai lencvd; busincaa prostrated; our homes vr ered with niorttfnses; labor impoverished and the land concentratliis in tbe bands of tbe capitalists. The urban workmen aro denied thertebtof organiriiion for self protection; Imported pauperized labor beats down their wages; a hireling t landing army, nnrecott niied by our laws, is catablUhcd to shoot them down, and they are rapidly dctreneriitine into European conditions. Tbe fruits of tho toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few. unprecedented in the his lory of mankind: and the postvessors of lhrc. In turn, doepi&e the republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific wtmib of the Governmental injustice we breed tho two crest closfca UaMi!s and millionaire. Tho national power to create money is ap prop rin led lo enrich landholders; a vast public debt, payablo ia leal tender currency, has been funded into geld bearing bonds, thereby addlne mlliions to the burdens of the people.

Lied. V.hlie our sympathies as a party of reform are naluraliy upon the side of every proposi tion which will tend lo mate men iatctllsat, virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless re tard these questions important as Ihcy are as secondary to the great Issues now pressing for solution, and upon which not only our in dividual property but the very existence of Tree institutions depend: asfl w afk all men lo first help cs to determine whether we are to ave a republic to administer before we diiler as to tbe conditions upon sbich it is to be ad ministcred, believing that the forces of reform this day nivanlsed will oeicr cease to move forward until every wronc Is remedied and equal rights and equal privilege securely es tablished for all the mea and womca of this country. Wo declare, therefore That the union of the labor forces of the I'nlted Slates this day consummated shall be permanent aud perpetual may Its spirit enter into all hearts, salvation of the republic and Ihe upltfiinir of mankind. Wealth belongs tn him who creates it. and every dolla taken frv.m industry without an equivalent Is robbery. "If any man will not work neither shall ho eat." The intervals of rural and civic labor aro the tamo; their ene mies arc Identical. Wo bcllevo that the time has come when tho railroad corporations wiil clihorown the peoplo or the peoplo must own tho railroads, and should tho government outer upon the work of owning and managlug any and all railroads we should favor aa amendment to Ihe constitution by which all jicrsoiis en gaccd in the government service shall be placed unJer a civil service regulation uf the mnet rigid character, so as to prevent the In crease of the power of the nat ional adminis tration by the rseof such additional govern ment employeea.

We demand tbe tree and unlimited colnoeo of silver and gold at the prose ut legal ratio of 18 to I. We demand that the amount of the circulat ion medium be speedily Increased to not less than fifty dollars per capita. We demand a graduated Income tax. We believe that tho moneys of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all national and state reveauet shall be limited to the necessary expenses, eoonomically and honestly administered. We demand that postal savings banks be es tablished by the government for the aafo de posit of Ihe earnngs of the peopleoud to facili tate exchange. Transportation being a means of exchange and a publio necessity, the government should own and operate the railroads In tho Interest of tho people. Tho telegram and telephone, like the post office system, being a necessity for the trans mission of now, Ahould bo owned and operated by the government tn thoiufrostof tbe people. - Tho land, including aU tb oarorsl sources of wealth.
