WHY 1T CANNOT WIN.

The Chicago Times, one of the most in
dependent journals in the country, indulges
the following line Of sensible remark re-
laiing to the late election and its results
The recent presidential election has shown
that there is an invinciblo reason why tho
democratic party can never win national
victory. II 10 that the youth Of this republic
is not democratic. Tho sons of democratic
fathers have grown up republicans.
So long as slavery and the war linger
within the memory Of Americans the youth
Of tho republic will continue TO grow up Io-
pubiCaus, and slavery aud tho war will bo ro-
membered us long as the public school sys-
tenn exists. The public schools have slain
the democratic party with the textbooks.
1t is vain for statesmen to declare that
there were as many democrats as republicans
In the union army. II Is vain to affirm that
tho war for the preservation of tho union
could not have been carried to u successful
close without the assistance of the democratic
party. IL is idle for philanthropy TO suggest
that the attitude Of that party toward tho
war in the beginning was u humane one; that
it was inspired by the higher aud better
wish that tho cause of the conflict should
be peaceably removed, aud the spilling OF
brothers blood by brothers hands avoided.
The democratic party has beeu ideally idonti-
fed with slavery and slayeholdug. The re.
publican party is ideally Identified with ehlan-
cipaLion and the war Therefore is the youth
of the country incapable OF being democratic.
Therefore the democratic party eau never win
national victory. It's old men are dying
away. The boys who catch the ballots thar
fall from their stiifened hands are republicans.
This lact cannot be denied. 1t will do no
good to quarrel with it. All othor causes
| which have operated to diminish the number
OF democrats and increase the number Of re-
publicaus are Insignificant beside this one
| tremendous aud inyincible flct The curse OF
slavery has poisoned the blood and rotted the
bone Of the democratic party. The maledic-
tion of the war has palsed its brain.
The young wife who held the babe up ia
| kiss the fatheras he hurried to the tap Of his
departing regiment has not sucklcd IA demo
erat. The weary foot Of the gray grandmother
who watched the children while the wile was
busy has not rocked the cradle of democrats
The chair that the soldier.iather never came
back to oil has not boon climbed upon by dem
ocrats. Tho old blue coat that his cOmrade
carried back was cut up for little jackets, bu
not one inclosed the heart OF u democrat
The ratified musket that fell from him Will
his last shot became the thoughtless TOY
of his boys; but not hand that playet
with II was the hand Of a democrat. Th'
National Republican., 1880-11-13
GRATIIUDEl

The Richmond Dispatch thinks that
gratitude should hold the south to con-
tinual alliance with the democrats of the
north. Where the gratitude comes in it
is hard for us to see. The doughfice dem
Ocrats of the north egged on the south to
rebellion by promises ct n divided north.
Without these promises the southern Lead
ers would have seen the folly Of secession.
Did the northern democrats keep their
promises to the south ? To listen to some
democratic speeches made during the late
campaign, one would be almost persuaded
TO believe that the northern democrats did
all the fighting in the war to suppress the
rebellion. After the war the copperhoads
aud doughhces backed up ANDREW JOHN
son TO resist the ratification Of the thir-
teenth and fourteenth amendments TO the
constitution aud the first reCOuslru ruction
acts. South Carolina would have adopted
the amendments, and would have made an
acceptable constitution IL such advice had
not been given, aud would have been adj
mitled to the union in the winter Of 1865
aud would have been followed by Georgia
North Carolina aud other states As it was,
the first terms were rejected, only TO be
followed by the fifteenth amendment.
The northern democratic congressional
leaders again used the southern members
of congress to their injury in insligating
the agitation against the federal election
laws, thus bringing on the extra session.
The country was made to believe that the
south was fighting for home rule, whereas

babe he kissed crowed for his return, and lis
unwittng and unanswered notes were not
from tho throat of q democrat. Tho tear.
soilcd camp letters which the mother read
aloud in the long, bitter evenings while the
boys clustered at her knees did not fall upon
democratic ears. The girls sobs, blending
with the mothers weeping, did not make
democrats of their brothers. Perhaps the
father had been democrat all his lirel
The children go to school. There is not q
democrat on its benches Tho first reader
contains the portrait Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN
that kind and sturdy race never made udemo-
orat. On its simple pages, i'm words Of one or
two syllables, is told the story of his birth and
death. That story never mado democrat.
In the pranks Of the playground the name
silences the irolicsome and makes the jollicst
grave. That namo never made democrat.
In the pictures that light up the geography
are the firing on Fort Sumter aud the death of
ELLSWORTH Those pictures make no demo.
Gratis. The first page of the history contains
q representation Of the surrender Of LEE at
Appomatlox. No boy gNzes on shat and ever
after avows himself democrat.
In the higher grades the same subtle and
unrcsistod influence Is at work Tho text.
books contain extracts from patriots speeches
during tho war. Those speeches make no
democrats. The great b titles are briefly de-
sctibedi the narrative has no democratic
listeners. Tue strain OF martial music runs
through the readers, and that music makes
no democrats. Sketches Of the great generals
are given; their brave deeds arouse the Gu
thusiasm Of the lads, but there is no democrat
among them. The horrors and sutierings of
tho slaves are told; the maddeued blood that
mounts the boys checks is not democratic
blood. The curse Of slavery has pursued the
democratic party, and has bounded It to It's
death. Therefore let it die aud no lip will
be found to say u prayer over tho grass ON its
grave.
The lato defeat need not be attributed TO
any other cause. Other causes were Mt work
but they were only incidental. Tho tariff
was one. Soctionalism was second Let
woll enough alone" was third. The Octo-
Der failure IN Indiana was fourth But all
these were trivial and together could not
have accomplished the result. Tho result
was accomplished because tho youth OF
the republic is not democratic. That party is
therefore, without future aud without O
hope. The malodiction of the war has palsicd
its brain. The curse of slavery has poisoned
| its blood aud rottcd its bone Let il die

the real people to be benefited were JOIN
KELLY, BEN WooD, Sunset Cox, ct id omne
genus
The last instance quotable is the as
sertion Of BARNUM and KELLY that the
new fraud cry in New York would not
have been seriously pursued but for urgent
demands coming from Kentucky, Virginia
and the south generally. The statement
was a self-evideut lie, but the telling of it
shows how strong is the desire OF these
northern schemers to use the south once
more as the monkey used the cat.
There is not an evil or a perplexity now
affecting the south which cannot be traced
directly to its blind reliance upon the
northern democratic leaders, who are all
things to all men if by any means they
may win the spoils

POLITICAL NOTES.

SWEET are the uses OF adversely. More ruth has
appeared in southern papers within the last week
than in twenty years before.
SENATOR CoSKLING has remarkable faculty of
coudenslng his ideas in compact phrase. In one
of his recent campaign speeches he alludes to the
Nation as that hectic patch ofpresumpuous pedan'
try"
The southern press Is just now engaged In tell
ing the people Of that section the truth about the
northern democratic leaders, They are described
as selfish, stupid and unprnclpled As the same
men were described before the election as states
men, patriots aud the truest friends Of the south
the readers must be rather confused,

SOME southern writers are suggesting
vote for GARFIELD when the colleges meet,
OF course, there is no probability that such
suggestions will be adopted, nor should
they be- Such a course, though proceeding
from good motives, would set bad
precedent, which might hereafter furnish
an excuse to venal man 10 decide an elec-

THE German sewing machine manufacturers
have organized an association for thc protection
OF their interests The first report Of this associa'
ton has been published, in which. while the
superiority of German sewing machines to those
produced in this country s roundly asserted, the
complaint is made that tho German people will not
see IT, aud persist in buying tho American make.
The association admits that the German machines
are undcrsold by the American, but accounts for
this by tho conjecture that American manui0c-
turers are such poor business men that they are
willing to Incur heavy losses in order to sell their
machines cheaper than cost. In order TO prevent
this thing from continuing and to save the Ameri-
can sewing machine manufacturers from running
themselves, the association considemtely proposes
that the German government should increase the
import duties on foreign sowing machines. The
association claims that the German manufacturers
employ about 5000 hands and turn out 100000
