TRAITORS ANXIOUS ABOUT THE
PARTY.

doing the Democracy a service by laying j
before our readers in the place of common
of our own:
There is quaint humor about the air o.
anxious solctude for the unity of the Dem
ocratic party suddenly assumed by the very
Senators who have been doing their best to
destroy 1t.
After devoting themselves for four months
to blocking the passage of the tariff bill these
gentlemen have all at once fallen TO depre-
eating any division in the party's ranks.
They are particularly panied TO note the dis
position of the democratic press of all sections
of the country to denounce the counterfeit
tariff bill which, by trading and intrigue,
they are trying TO pass off upon the people
as an honest measure Of revenue reform.
This little cotorie of conservative" Sena-
tors, having waylaid the Wilson bill, sand
bagged it and put in its place bastard bill
which is plainly the product of secret deals
and Understandings among themselves, act
ing virtually as the agents Of all the priv.
legged monopolies that have pooled their in
terests to prevent the passing of any genu
inc reform bill, are now astonished and
alarmed at the prospect of injury to the
Democratic party and its cause. They are
simply playing in politics the old game OF
the professional thief, who, as soon as he has
grabbed a purse or watch, starts off on the
ble-quick and shouts "Stop thief at the
top of his voice as he runs
If the Democratic party is in danger, and
we candidly think it is, the CONSERVATIVES"
who have higgled and haggled for four
months over the tariff bill are alone to
blame. They have made themselves the
hucksters of the vital principles OF their
party, swapping them away to one pro-
tected ring of robbers alter another, and so
patching up compromise" which sur
renders nearly all that their party looked
to them TO hold and defend. Whatever peril
the party is in is of their creation. 1t was
safe and secure so long as il kept faith with
the people. 1t had control Of every branch
of the government, and If IL had marched on
to the honest fulfilment of its high mission
and redeemed the pledges on which 1t gain
ed national power, the hosts of protection
and plumber, routed in 1890 and 1892, could
never have assailed il with success.
But these conservatives" small minor
ity of McKineyites disguised as Democrats,
would not permit the party to go forward
and harvest the fruits of Its national triumph.
They applied themselves deliberately to the
lreacherous task of McKinleyizing the Dem
ocratic tariff bill passed by the House. The
measure they have evolved out of their in.
lrigues with the leading beneficiaries of Nc
Knleyism has been received by the Demo
cratic press everywhere, as it deserved to be,
with honest and hearty indignation. There
upon this little group Of Senators, who have
wrought all the mischief and brought their
party to the verge OF disaster, turn and pro
test with an unctuous pretense of devotion
TO the Democratic cause that the press,
which throughout the land remains true to
that cause and voices the disappointment
and disgust of the Democratic masses, is
injuring its prospects at the polls next No
vember.
All this is in keeping with their course
