all democratic principles and pledges
with absolute contempt. In spots it is

DEMOCRATIC FAILURE.
Distrust and Defeat the Portion of the
Party In Power.

Distrust and Defeat the Portion of tho
Party In Power.
The acceptance by the house OF rep
~resentatives of the senate tariff bill is
a surrender of the democratic party to
n small coteiie of senators who have
been the active agents of the sugar
trust. 1t is the defeat of the Just ex-
%pectations of the people who placed
the democratic party in power in both
the executive and legislative branches
OF the government, believing that it
would reform the tariff. This disap-
pointment has been anticipated, but
the contempt and anger which II has
aroused will not be the less for that
reason. The democratic party has
failed to perform what 1t has itself
declared again and again TO be it's
mission. Is has, therefore, invited dis
trust and defeat, and will assuredly
receive its just deserts. What hope
it has for the future lies in the prom
Used laundering of republican politi-
clans like eX-Speakcr Reid and Sena-
tor Lodge, who are endeavoring 30 ne
goiate an alliance with the populists.
1t may be that itsdefeat and its mis-
cradle and abject condition will at
least teach it the wisdom which it
ought to have learned many years ago,
and hat ii will now rid itself of the
leaders who have always invited dis
trust OF it, retarding its progress, and
at last turned its victory into ashes.
It must be confessed that SO much
courage and wisdom arc not to be ex-
pccted of it confidently. The imbe-
entity which attended the steps of the
tariff bill does not inspire hope. If
the democratic party were wise it
would not have adopted the populist
income tax. If it were courageous it
would not have accepted the bill
with the sugar trust schedule in
it. 1t would have continued to fight
for its principles with such vigor
Brices, Smiths. Murphys and Hills
would have recognized at last that
they could no longer successfully pose
as democrats. 1t has done nothing
but yield There is nothing in the
official record of the national demo-
cratic party to show that German,
Brice and Smith will not again be able
to pledge il to Louisiana or any other
protectionists with whom they may
make a bargain.
What the effect of all this may be
On national politics it is too early to
determine. The tariff question is at
rest for the moment, and there will be
no further agitation of il during Mr..
Cleveland's administration. On other
questions the drift of events will set
tie the attitude of parties. This much,
however, is certain, that for the first
time in the history of the country a
single monopoly, audacious, insolent
and confessedly corrupt. has succeeded
in debating To congress a law affecting
the general welfare. the revenues of
the government and the tariff policy
of the country. And for this consum-

that as such it came under the clause OF

were all supported by evidence.
