An Old Democrat Who Gives 1t Up.
(FrOm the Weston Dsmoerat)
JACKSONVILLE, November 81.


JACKSONVILLE, November 81.
10 tie Editor Of Tho Democrat:
In the last number Of your paper l
notice that you call for suggestions from
old time Democrats and friends, concern.
Ing the present state Of politics. CON.
slider myself In this list, and submit a
few thoughts for the consideration OF
yourself and the readers Of the Democrat,
l am no longer Democrat, nor have |
considered myself such for more than
two years. And whyt Well, Mr.. Edl.
tor, because there has been no Democratic
party since then. The Republicans de.
stroyed the rights Of the States-did not
the Democrats "accept the BltuAtion p
The Republicans freed the slaves-did
not the Democrats say "Amen ~ The
Republicans secured the adoption OF the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments
did not the Democrats agree TO oil vE;:s?
No! Why, sir, what will you do with
Vallandigham's "New Departure" and the
nomination oi Horace Greeley In the
country at large; and the passage OF the
"Flick Amendment" In this State. That's
short argument, but convincing. Do
Democrats and Republicans differ on the
question Of tariff. Not bit Of 1t, for a
large portion Of the members Of each party
are ior tree trade, while an equal number,
II not more, are for protection. Can
we divide upon the bond question? "Not
by Jug fullF Every Democrat who Is
fortunate enough TO own bonds Is IN favor
OF their payment on the Republican plan
Even the Chairman Of the National
Democratic Executive Committee being
agent for the European bondholders, and
large bondholder himself, at the time
the Democratic party made vain at
tempt to win by fighting on this plank.
To save words, may say that the Demo-
cratic party Is dead-dsGd in tie Ghsal
Much as regret this, and much as l
revere the grand old defunct organization,
yet bend TO stubborn fact, and confess
freely what and every other man knows
10 be- truel
And why should we regret this! With
a history that Is the history -four country;
with record OF which all are proud, the
Democratic party has enrolled its deeds
upon the scroll Of fame, and there they
will live while time shall last; but like
other organizations OF usefulness, 1t has
seen its best days, and now, after a life.
time devoted to the public good, steps
aside to make way for the Car OF Pro.
gress.
While wo cherish due veneratlon for
our sires and their deeds, let US not forget
that their motto was, as ours should be,
EXcELSIoR.

Tue Coal QUEsTloN.--The coal prob
lem was the all absorbing theme Of dis
cuaiOn throughout tho city yesterday,
The letter OF IA Dealer" in our columns
created much indignation. Ono gentle
man who does business on Main street,
VS. 80 much stirred up over it that he
declared his purpose to buy no more coal
ollOcsl dealers and Immediately ordered
four car loads from Fairmont.
This discussion will do good, as 1t will
resnl, in q better understanding between
consumers aud dealers respecting their
mutual dependency and interests. Per.
hsps some Of our citizens need to be eau.
Iioued not 10 be iudiscriminate in their
condemnation Of dealers. We do not be.
IieYe any such combination exists as
claimed by our correspondent yester-
Jay. II 1t does and Tor the purpose
NOwed, It ought to be broken down,
Il to accomplish it all our coal has to be
rrchassl abroad for the next six months,
There is no question that the city can be
aoundantly supplied with coal by rail and
river wholly independent Of local DEAL
Is. When they come 10 understand this,
they will become reasonable In their de.
nslds, and a disposition on their part to
be reasonable will be sure to meet with a
corresponding feeling among consumers
who will not object to such rise Tor the
lime as may actually be necessary to meet
the extra expense imposed by the emer-
ge1cy Meanwhile 1t will be well to re.
member that the dealers have not all
loinei in the demand for cxtortlonate pri.
sand until they do, they should not all
bs condemned
The present fuel crisis ought TO result
10 permanent benefit to the city. Il
ought 10 lead to practical, searching, im.
mediate inquiry into the question whether
edo not in ordinary times pay good
leSl more for fuel than we ought. Ten
cents, the usual price for clean coal, Is toe
much Tor coal In city where 1t crops out
oIhe hills at our very doors. We believe
good living profits can be made deliver.

tbs! 40 class oI our citizens grow rich SC
last as our coal merchants, and this fact
tniicatess wide margin OF profit which
the consumers pay. 1t is the business Of
The coal merchant 10 make the most he
eAu Ou! Of his commodity. 1t is the busi.
mss Of coal consumers to get 1t as cheaply
IS they can. The consumers are to the
merchants about as q thousand to one. II
The merchants by ,skillFul combination
are able 10 exact three or four cents a
s1sAel more than living price, it is be-
Cause the consumers submit to II Just as
they were powerless to resist the de-
uand. If combination and cooperation
work well on one side why not on the
lIAeF' Why not consumers combine
'ad buy their coal in large quantities
wherever they can get it for fair price
whether that be along tho Hempaeld OIL
Bilinors road or on the river. The
PRESENT agitation ought, and we trust II
aiy, lead to q general determination moi
oaIy to be emanclpsted from local coal
monopoly but 10 have coal at permanent
yOWer prices.
