The New York World truthfully
says
mo political party ever won by
either looking or moving backward.
The gulf which separates the demo-
cratic party from the republican
party, like the space which lies be-
tween the democratic party and
power. is too wide to be covered by q
straddle. IF the democrats who are
trying to devise some "compromise"
statement of principles which will
please everybody, or to find some side
cut or back door through which their
party can sneak back into the offices,
will bear these two facts in mind it
will save them a good deal of NORTH
cation hereafter. The democratic
party in 1892 should make a plat
form to meet the issues of 1892. While
holding fast to Its tradi-
tional tenets it must meet
the new questions with frank
ness and courage. We believe that
it will do so. But if it is to 60 back
ward for its plank upon the tariff
question let it take its declaration
from that unsurpassed proclamation
of democratic principles-the Tilden
platform of 1876. That is honest,
bold, clear, ringing. 1t placed the
party with both feet squarely on the
rock foundation of historic democracy.
To attempt to change this attitude by
stretching one foot over to the slough
of protectionist republicanism would be
alike ridiculous, cowsrdly and futile.
The democracy is not a backward.
