No responsibility without power.

We note that Col. Polk as well as 9TH
er professional" farmers, is fond of
arraigning the Democratic party as
we'll as the Republican for the legisla-
ton of which the farming community
have right to complain. This is
grossly unjust. The Democratic party
has never since the war had power to
shape or control federal legislation.
Therefore it cannot be Justly charged
with responsibility therefor. The
Democratic party opposed with all its
might all the high tariff legislation
since the war. All the silver legislation
including the demonstration of sill
yer, of which the farmers complain so
bitterly, has been enacted by a Repub-
lican congress and Republican admin
istration.
The Democrats cannot be charged
with responsibility for federal legisla-
ton until they have been entrusted by
the people with plenary power in all
branches of the government.
1t is true the Democrats have con-
trolled various State governments. But
if any of the ills the farmers complain
of are chargeable to State legislation,
the farmers themselves must assume a
large share of the responsibility, as
members of their class have largely in
fuenced such legislation. Certainly
that has been the case in Virginia, es-
pecially in the last legislature which
was dominated by farmers.
The farmers have nothing as yet to
complain of the Democratic party, and
if they desert it now, they are apt to
go further and fare wOrse.-Ch0TIOtteS
ollie Chronicle.
