BIZ Arp Want, Another Party.


"The people of the south are fast
losing confidence in the democratic
party. Go where you will, in towns
and cities, in hotels and on railroads,
and nine men out of ten, except the
officeholders and officeseekers, have
lost their affection aud their respect
for modern democracy. If there was
any other decent party to go to they
would go. We hear intelligent, con-
servative. patriotic citizens talking
that way every day. Intensified disgust
is the universal feeling. Day after day,
week after week, month after month,
Just look back over the newspaper
files and see the record of broken
promises. Every little while some
sanguine editor says that the country
is just on the eve of period of un-
paralleled prosperity, and the. tariff
bill will be passed in a few days and
the stagnant capital of the country
will be turned loose and old wheels
will be put in motion and new ones
built. and the country will awake from
its long sleep. l found paper yester-
day that was six months old and it
talked thatway. Gorman-who cares
whether his infantile feelings have
been lacerated or not, his iudividu-
ality is lost in the distress of the mill
ions Pass the bill and doctor the
feelings later.
THE fact is, l wish there was an
other party-a party after Ben Hills
kind that he foreshadowed in his Chit
tenden letter. party composed of
conservative republicans and intelli-
gent democrats-north and south.
There was time when Jeffersonian
democracy was something to boast OF,
but not the spurious kind we have
now. The old whig party would be a
gcdsend in these lawless times.
wish that we had it right now.
wish that Webster and Clay and
Calhoun were in the United States
senate to-day. Then how small would
CONAN appear? But there was COM
fort in David b. Hills reply He rose
above his own resentments. He ex-
hibited a noble patriotism and high
err order of craftsmanship. Is it pos
sible that there are not two or three
republican senators who will elevate
the country above their party? Is it
possible that republican is obliged
to be protectionist or moth
ing? Is craftsmanship alto
gether partisan? Are there no
middle men, no peacemakers, no mug
wumps in congress? Are there no
great men there, great and good like
there used to be in the days of Berrien
and Forsyth and Howe |, Cobb and
Calhoun and John Bell and Gentry
and Nathaniel Macon AMI DAVIS and
Prentiss and Clay and Crittenden and
Webster and Pearce and Wise and a
host of others who led their parties
for their country's good? Did they
ever in times of great peril leave their
seats and go home to mend their
fences and canvass for returning votes:
Were they ever accused of specializing
in tariff bills or trusts or subsidies?
"lhe standard is lowered. The flag
is at half mast. Craftsmanship is al
a discount, and the highest considera-
tion of the average member of congress
is to have returning board. Bill

Tariff and Money.

The Cincinnati Enquirer is sound
ing a keynote of warning to old party
leaders. 1t is too late; the progress
of the people has begun, and will not
top. In speaking on issues it has the
blowing:
Tariff reform is principle, not a
hobby. Those who insist on keeping
the tariff question open, and making
it the leading question in politics in
future campaigns, are treading on
dangerous ground Extreme reduc-
tions in the tariff must leave the gov
ernment without sufficient revenue,
and make the money question more
prominent than ever. The demand
for silver is certain to come to the
front, whether the tariff is settled or
not. The country is on false fnan-
cial basis The public promises to
pay are made redeemable by the pres
ent policy in that which the govern
ment has the least of. There is great
need of more money per capita. There
can be no substantial increase, though,
If additional currency is to be founded
on metal which is vastly overbur-
dened now. Both Of the old parties
must look we'll to this question and
not turn it over to the dangerous
policy of the Populists. The Popu-
list party is feeding on the mistakes
OF the democrats and republicans and
growing dangerously rugged
