New Windsor, 111., July 16. A. J. Btreeter, the Union Labor candidate for the Presidency, has published his tetter of acceptances It is lengthy and is taken ap with labbr politics, the silver question, etc. It dehounjees monopolies and thinks the tariff a minor.issue compared with the industrial question. Mr. Streeter says : The prosperity ot a nation is measured by the prosperity of its industrial people. If they are prosperous, then the nation is prosperous indeed; bat if its productive people are strug gling with poverty, taxes and debt, then the nation is poor, thosgh its treasury, like ours, be overflowing with idle moicy. Such is the condition of our nation to-dsv. tThey tell us the country -is growing rich, but the farmers and other working people are growing poor. Did our fathers ordain and establish this Govern ment to be a machine to enrich the few at the expense of the many? 1 think not. But. on the contrarv, the t-ae intent of law and of govern ment should be to protect the weaker members in society from the encroachments of the stronger. The stronger are better able to care for themselves, but the weaker need the foster ing care of the Government, and Jience go t rn P3HB52Hfsr p) If cJ9 Unton Labor Candidates for President and Vice-President. ments arc institutions among men. This funda mental principle has be-n subverted. :iml in lieu of it we have a government of the capital class, now merged into a moneyed aristoc racy. There is something wrong and we all know It. We hae tried a change of administration from one old party to another, but it gave the people no relief. We are even worse off now thaa when the change was made. Still in terest, taxes, high rates for transportation and other combinations take ne.irly al! we annually produce and leave but little oa which to live and less to pay debt. A govern ment that does not hid its Industrial and work ing people to pay their debts is not a Government f tbe people and is unworthy ot their support. A government that has by its policy tolerated monopolies, greedy combina tions and trusts and has not protected the peo ple against their spoliations, is unwortr.y the support of its working people. Unfortunately, these unholy monopolies, combinations and trusts have increased in numbers and power and strength from one administration to another.un fil they! think they have the power to control t lie Government and tho ;peupler until tliev hae forccdiipon the country "'another irrepressible conflict a conflict involviatbe prosperity and happiness of 60.(XM,lfl people.

"The other irrepressible con flict involted the liberty or 4,OO,mi0 people. but this one involves the right and liberty of &MX,0i0 people to the enjoyment of the fruits of their labor. To settle the slavery conflict it cost the Govern ment a deal of money, of life and of sorrow, and it is to be hoped that this conflict may be settled peaceably at the ballot box and by the restoration of the government of the people to whom it belongs. But settled it will be, and let us hope without seas of Arc and rivers of blood. Uence.it is the part of wise statesmanship to look this growing conflict square in the face, and to make such changes in the law and the administration of the same as will restore confidence and prosperty to the people. Such is tbe object and irdent of the Union Labor party. If cither pld party had given relief, thentaera would be no nccessltv fdrttie Union Labor'party. But both have-been tried and both have failed.

When Claus Spreckles announced that he would fight the great sugar trust single handed everj one prophesied that he would come to grief in spite of his millions. Now tho first vic tory forSpreckles iu the fight must be re corded. When, thet trust, was formed- a,-- few nionths ' ago the officers began not idnlv; to corner reined sugars.: tiutto include in tliesqueese the raw pro-' duct. They of couie pinched the pro ducer as well as the consumer. The result of this was that they boomed the raw arti cle, but caused liand-to-mouth buying of the refined product. Claus Spreckles saw through this little game, and quietly cap italizing his resources bought all the raw sugar he could secure. Now the refiners find that they have largely oversold re fined sugars; that the raw product is be yond their reach and they are obliged to tead to Europe for raw material. . ' Barcter CovtrteL.
