THE DEMOCRATIC BREAKING-UP.

-
Indications point to a breaking up of the
Democratic party in this year of grace, 1894.
1t is not intended to say that the party is
likely to disband or go into voluntary bank
ruptcy and permanent retirement. 1t has
too much tenacity of life and has survived
too many hard knocks to expect that. But
the signs are that it is now passing through
a temporary crisis, ard that it will re-
ceive one of the severest shakings UP and
breakings up this year that it has ever ex-
perienced.
The reasons are obvious. The people, in
Guiding the rank and file of the party itself,
are thoroughly disguised with it's course
during the last two years, and it must be
admitted that they have abundant reason to
be. The party came into power two years
ago on a tidal wave of popularity. BY dint
Of false representations, false charges and
false promises it succeeded in making the
people believe that a change from a Re-
publican TO a Democratic administration of
the government was desirable, and for the
first time in thirty years it was given I'M
disputed control of the legislative as we'll
as the executive branch of the government
1t had the President, an extraordinarily
large majority in the House and a working
majority in the Senate. Mr.. Cleveland was
inaugurated amid the general rejoicing of
his party, and no doubt the great mass of
those who had voted for him honestly be-
lieved that his inauguration was to be the
beginning Of better government and better
times.
The result has been utter failure on one
side and bitter disappointment on the other.
The history of American politics furnishes
no parallel to the record which the Demo-
cratic party has made during the last two
years. 1t is a record of broken promises,
reprdiated pledges. deferred hopes and
abandoned reforms; a record of duplicity,
evasion and cowardice. of legislative inca
pacity, administrative Incompetence and
utter untrustworthiness. During a period
of the greatest depression of business and
the hardest times ever known, while the
people were anxiously waiting for some
remedial legislation. a Democratic Congress
spent a whole year wrangling over the tar
III. and finally passed a bill which a Demo
cratic President has permitted 10 become a
law that. from beginning to end. is a be-
trayal OF the people and a surrender TO the
trusts.
Under these circumstances it is natural
that seif-respectinS Democrats should be
disappointed. dlsheartened and disguised.
The feeling is even stronger. There is a
feeling that they have been triiied VIII
and made fools of. and that the only way 10
preserve their self-resDect is TO vote for
the expulsion from power of a party that
has so shamelessly betrayed its pledges,
thrown away its opportunities and humiii-
ated its friends. That is the feeling to-day
among thousands who voted for Cleveland

III ATTACK ON SECRETARY CAR
Isle.

The attack of the New York Times on
Secretary Carlisle reveals some interesting
phases Of current politics. The gravamen
of the charge against Mr.. Carlisle is that
on March so of this year, while in New
York, he visited and stayed forty minutes
at the headquarters of the Sugar Trust or
Wall street. The charge itself is serious
enough, and the Times expands and eX-
aegerates it as much as possible. That
the Secretary of the Treasury should, pend
ing the discussion of a tariff bill and the
framing of a sugar schedule involving mil
lions of dollars. personally visit the head
quarters Of the Sugar Trust was highly
improper and almost scandalous. Nobody
questions Mr.. Carlisle's personal integrity.
and no doubt if he sees fit to notice the
charge he can offer some explanation of the
incident that will clear him from any sus-
picion of personal corruption or wrong do
ing. 1t is not so sure, however, that he
can clear himself of the charge of politl-
cal trickery. and, taken in connection with
his conferences with the sugar Senator's in
Washington and his drafting Of the sugar
schedule in the tariff bill. it shows. to say
the least. a reckless disregard on his part
of official propriety.
The attack of the Times looks very much
like part OF a plan TO make a scapegoat of
Mr.. Carlisle and force his retirement from
the Cabinet. The Times is a thick-and-thin
Cleveland organ. and Is supposed to be
closer TO the President than any other pa
per in the country. No person knowing its
relation 10 the administration Will believe
that it would nave made such an attack
on Mr.. Carlisle. or. indeed, any kind OF an
attack on any member OF the administra-
ton. without the knowledge and approval

For the past eight years Bynum has

During the time he has been in Congress
his promises to the laboring people have
been profuse. His gun has been that

fill those promises. Is the farmer selling
his wheat for SIS a bushel? Not by a

OF the President. 1t is known that the re-
lations between the President and the
Secretary are already somewhat strained.
One of the rumors current when the Pres
ident left Washington so suddenly after
the passage of the tariff bill was that he
was very angry at Carlisle for having writ
ten a letter to Senator Harris giving facts
and figures TO show why the popgun free
sugar bill should not be passed. The Pres
ident said in his letter TO Chairman Wilson
that sugar was a legitimate object of rev.
enue, but afterwards he veered around in
favor of free sugar as represented by the
popgun bill. Mr.. Carlisle's offense was in
not veering around with the President.
His defense of the sugar tax as a neces-
sary source of revenue was open opposition
TO my policy as declared in the popgun
bill. and was. therefore. treason. Hence the
strained relations.
The Journal predicts that the attack on
Mr.. Carlisle will prove to be part of a pre-
concerted plan adopted with the approval
Of the President to make him a scapegoat
and force his resignation from the Cab
met, with the further object of proving
that Mr.. Cleveland's hands are not sticky
with sugar and that he is better than his

The New York Times. the Cleveland or

want reciprocity and deplore the loss of
the Spanish American trade in the abroga-
ton Of the Harrison treaties by the Demo-
cratic tariff. Reciprocity has been ridiculed;
but the New York Times admits that, I'M
der it. our exports to Cuba increased from
$11.297, 1873. in 1889. to SIS. GOA, O94, in 1898, and
that in spite of the adverse conditions pre-
scented by the revolution our exports to
Brazil were increased from s15, Gas. 525, in

For years the largest mill in the country
manufacturing jute into burlaps, etc., has
been in Chelsea, Mass. Until recently it has
been paying eight hundred operators, most
ly girls, s. a week. When the tariff bill
passed 125 were discharged, and at the
close of this week 375 more will go. reduc-
ing the employees to three hundred. Why
is this? Because jute goods have been put
upon the free list, or practically so. The
jute comes from India, and already there
are thirty mills in Bengal which pay their
employees from IL cents to $3.50 a week.
Another center of jute manufacture is in
Scotland, where wages are $3.50 a week.
Transportation is nothing, so if the mill in
Chelsea is to run n the future the en-
Dloyes must accept $3.50 a week. And yet
the Populists declare that the tariff is of no
consequence.
