The young Fireworks Democra-
cy which is going to reduce the far
mers' taxes ON salt and blankets is
| i'm such Il state of lnebriation over
| the prospect of running the present
Congress, that it will be difficult
| to get it to keep sIill long enough to
be reasoned with. Thus young
Phmbus insisted upon driving the
Jovian family carriage until he
smashed things incontinently. 1t
was this heedlessness of youth that
demOralized the Democratic old
guard in the recent past and gave
Tennessee over to Republican adj
ministration, and a like result at
tended a similar exhibition of reck-
lessness in Virginia.
In its present paroxysm of poiit-
ical jim-jams, it il proceeding TO
read out of the Democratic camp all
who do not subscribe to its imprac-
ticable theories. Some Of these
half-inforined weaklings are more
bitterly assailIng Democrats than
Republicans, and telling PennsyI-
vania and the East TO Ego to the
bad" Not only this, but Demo
cratic Congressman and Democratic
newspapers who entertain different
views OF government and policy
are invited to go.
We fail to see wherein this sort
of tactics works to the benefit of
anybody but the Republicans, but
then, we should remember, we
suppose, that sit is,asn i'll wind that
blows nobody any good" But how
this is going to lift the burdens off
the farmers salt and blankets is
what may puzzle the farmer if he
stops to think over it. 1t certainly
is not calculated to advance the
cause of the Democratic party. If
to be successful in the Presidential
campaign, row near at hand, then
the Democratic army must be har-
moniOus enough at least to agree to
disagree. The desire for that kind
of harmony does not appear to be
manifest in the tone and utterances
of the hilarious element of the par
ty. Perhaps it may sober up
enough before the national CONVEX
tions meet to be concerned about an
inventory of its voters, but at pres
ent it is in condition to require
the fostering care of its next of kin.
1t had better be getting its ordi-
nance and ammunition in condition
to receive the Republican advance,
which seems to be coming up with
its usual good order and pretty well
in line. Democracy cannot success
fully encounter a well organized
force like that, with its columns
disintegrated into an attacking par
ty of partisan rangers, firing into
each others TANKS. The contested
prizes are the doubtful States. and
the best organized force will capture
them.
