party to win In any one Of these three
moral conditions. But 1t can not assail
them all and not be broken by its own
impetus. When II does assail them all
II Is a sign that II has no politi-
cal vitality, but. that each faction repre-
senting these differing and often hostile
moral elements Is strong enough to have
its own way. The central. leading, or
ganizing control Of the party is broken

are strongest the party Is weakest.

champion of secession, its self-interest as
the enemy of American industries. Then,
as now. 1t had in its leadership representa-
tives OF all three of these different 1n-
tagonisms. Its anti-slavery extension.sts
like Douglas; its semi-protectionists like
Randall. and Its union or war Democrats
like Dix and Ben Butler. They were
stronger than the party. The party or
ganization could not control them and 1t
went to pieces. The past few years II has
been resuscitated from its syncope. but it
has not been reorganized. Recovering
person from the faintness of heart dis
ease does not cure the disease. And put
does little or nothing to invtgorate Its
feeble patriotism. stimulate its fiuttering
conscience, strengthen its common sense.
or dissipate its ignorance and contempt for
the vast and intricate business OF a
mighty nation.

The Pennsylvania Steel company is

so doing being stated as high as $4OO. 900.
