No other than political party rock

Outstanding that all of the present un-
rest and threatened trouble come Of the
attitude of the leaders CT Democracy
with reference to the tariff and the cur
rency. To their blind and unreasoning
standard" is directly traceable the
silent factory, the deserted mine and the
Coxey march. Partisanship before 10y
atty, political advantage before the in-
terests of the country, is with that party
today just what they were when under
Buchanan the first gun was fred on
Sumpter. Had the majority in congress,
in the very first week of their assem-
bling, either carried out the declarations
Of their national platform by passing
their "tariff for revenue only" bill, or
repudiated such platform by resolving
that Republican protection and reci-
procity should stand, all of the destitu-
ton and despair, all of the wreck of
values and business ruin which are now
expressing the country and inspiring
unarned but menacing armies, would
never have been felt or heard of.
Compelled by these extreme situations.
the attitude of the administration and
the spirit of congress are beyond the
comprehension of the everyday honest
people who constitute the inhabitants of
the entire nation, half-dozen financial
and commercial centevs excepted.
Not only is confidence gone but hope
itself seems fleeing: vel in the face of
receiverships, which are rapidly turning |
over all the great personal property in
terests of the country into the hands of |
the Federal courts; in the face of condi-
tions which are driving every character
of individual enterprise to the wall in
the face of such oppressive exigencies
as are massing the unemployed into In
dustrial batalions, which ignore property
rights, President Cleveland and his con-
gress and cabinet stand irresolute and in
active, procrastinating and dilly daily
ing, for what reason, or in what interest,
the people seem utterly unable to under
stand.
