DEMOCRATIC RESPONSIBILITY.
Where the Blame for the Retention OF
the Sherman Act Belongs.

Where the Blame for tho Retention Of
the Sherman Act Belongs.
A few months ago the democrats were
pouring the vials of their wrath upon
the Mckinley tariff, tin plate espe-
cially, but now nothing of that kind is
heard. Every mishap is chargeable
upon the Sherman act. That law has
been in operation three years, or, to be
more exact, thirty-five months. 1t was
not until the democratic party came
into power that it became the fashion
to hold it responsible for the ills the
country is heir to. If it should be re-
pealed what would take its place as a
scapegoat?
1t was June %, 1892, that the national
democratic convention denounced 1.-THE
republican legislation known as the
Sherman act of 1890 rs a cowardly
make-shift fraught with possibilities of
danger in the future which should make
all of its supporters as well as its author
anxious for its speedy repeal" and the
next winter large majority of the re-
publicans In congress voted for its re-
peal, thus saying in effect to the demo-
cracy: Very well, if you think so, let
it be wiped out before your party comes
back into power. The democratic
party was not responsible for the
original passage of the act, but is re-
sponsible for its retention. The de-
mand for its speedy repeal was con-
CURED in by the republican party. The
truth is that the anti-Sheriman act
plank of the democratic platform was
a gigantic bluff, and when called the
clustering buffer backed down and
sneaked out of the game.
1t is customary to charge that silver
has steadily declined in market value
ever since the Comstocl1 mine with its
bonanza was fairly opened, except that
there was a brief increase in value
right after the Sherman act went into
effect From this it is argued that
there is an over supply of silver. The
fact is, on the contrary, that silver was
actually higher In October, 1884, than
it had been in October, 1878. This
shows that knowledge that a party
dominated in its political economy by
British ideas had been given control Of
the government produced a depressing
effect upon the value of silver. By the
time Harrison was elected silver had
declined about seventeen per cent, but
with his election the price began to 60
up. His defeat in 1902 had worse eff
feet even than the election Of Cleveland
in 1884. These are stubborn facts for
the democracy, and no amount of out
cry against the Sherman act can oblit-
crate them.
The republicans In congress may be
relied upon to support any measure
having promise of bettering the condi-
ton of the country, irrespective of
strictly political considerations. Mr.
Cleveland will not be hampered and
hindered by a captious opposition from
the minority party. There is reason to
believe that his hesitation to call con-
gress in special session is due to dis
trust of his own party, and not of the
republicans. He cannot be blamed for
dreading to put democratic statesman
ship to the practical test.-Chicago In

The Democracy Needs to Find Out
Where 1t Is "At."

The Democracy Needs to Find Out
Where IT Is cat"
The New York Sun, the all-wool-
yard-widc authority of the simon-pure
Jacksonian democracy, has struck the
right idea. The Sun says: ''If the
general opinion of the party at the
present time is that the tariff plank OF
1892 was a mistake; that protection Is
not unconstitutional; that protection is
not robbery; that customs duties may
be imposed and collected for other
purposes than revenue; that the expert
ment outlined in the conventions reso-
luton is impracticable; then, the only
honorable way out of the difficulty is
to have the democratic national COM
mittee call another convention of the
party, with full representative status
and authority, and to have the new
convention rescind the resolution OF
1S92.''
The national platform adopted by
the democratic party at Chicago calls
for the repeal of the Mckinley bill and
The Sherman silver act, the free coin
age Of cart wheel silver dollars and the
institution of state bank currency.
Grover Cleveland ignores all of these
party demands except the repeal of the
Sherman act, and has delayed so long
in making up his mind about that that
India has got three months the start Of
him.
The leaders of the party are now ask
ing where democracy is at They won
der if the democratic party, after Rip
Van Winkleian slumber of thirty two
years, is yet awake or simply dreaming.
Party organs charge administrative de-
lay and uncertainty with cutting down
stock values seven hundred million dol
lars and farm produce values one hun
dred million dollars. Under such con-
ditions it seems to be not only wisdom,
but party necessity, to call the party
together in convention once more that
it may gather together its scattered and
dishevelled ideas.
The loud-voiced champions of tariff
reform can rise no higher now than to
ask for sugar tax. The thunders of
democratic eloquence that once were
won't to shake the hills with the atroci-
ties of the Mckinley bill died away
these many moons ago. By all means
let democracy reassemble. Let it find
where it is at.-Minneapolis Tribune.
sYWhy is not this administration
able to fulfill its pledges and substitute
free trade for McKinleyism? 1t has
control of both houses of congress and
the presidency. No obstacle stands in
its way In any branch Of the federal
government. Congress and president
were both elected by large majorities
upon the tariff issue, and now we are
told they will not be able to meet
their pledges; it will not be possible
to do So" Why? Not because they lack
the power, but because they dare not
face the consequences of abolishine a
wise tariff system.-Cleveland Leader.

A PARTY OF PROGRESS.
Ability of the Republican Party to Cope
with New Issues.

Ability of the Republican Party to Cope
with New Issues.
The Washington Post, in joining in
the criticism which assailed the Louis
vile speech Of Gen. Clarkson, ridiculed
the idea that the republican party shall
accept any new issues, and intimated
that it's only chance of success is in
waiting to take advantage of the blum
ders of the democrats.
There is no reason why the republic
an party should not accept new issues,
if new issues shall come to the front.
In doing so the party will abandon none
of the positions it already holds. 1t will
maintain, SO long as it exists, the
principles of protection to American
industry. of a sound currency, and of
equal rights to all men. But repub-
licanism means progress. 1t is in
bravely, intelligently and patriotical-
ly meeting the questions with which
the democracy is incompetent to deal
that the republican party will find its
early restoration to power and respon-
sibility.
The republican party has never won
victories solely by the blunders of its
enemy. There is no doubt that the
democratic party will commit blunders.
Its leaders have done nothing but blum
der since March A. These blunders will
aid in making clear to the people their
delusion last November. Their func-
tions, however, will be only secondary.
1t is not in negation that the republic
an party hopes for success 1t is in the
ultimate triumph of positive princi-
pies, affirmatively and aggressively adj
vocated The problems of tomorrow
can only be solved by the party of prog
ress.-N. Y. Press.
