Show I WE POINT IT OUT I If there is any more pitiful or abject ab-ject spectacle in the world than the condition and position of the Democratic Demo-cratic party today it would be a favor fa-vor if some one would point it out So remarks a contemporary anxious to write the obituary of the old party of the constitution and the people The answer is A mgre pitiful and abject ab-ject spectacle is the deposed Kapubli can party swathed in sweat through its vain exertions to cover up the wretched results of its silver and tariff tar-iff legislation for a third of a century and to charge the results of its wrongs upon a party which is doing its best to repair them The paper that asks for information oh this subject as a favor supplies the information itself in another articl in the same column But as it never seems to know one minute what its it-s id a minute before we will clip the other remarks which are these After saying that the Government twenty years ago determined that the mining of silver was no longer commendable it continues No such spectacle of imbecility was ever before exhibited and it is the more pitiable from the fact that the effect ef-fect of demonetizing silver is palpable in falling prices in crippled industries in the growing poverty of the people and in the manifest fact that producers produc-ers can no longer supply places for laborers la-borers and hence the hosts that are marching idle up and down the land a host so formidable in numbers now that they have become a menace to the Republic If there is anything more pitiful and abject than the Republican party today to-day it is its reputed organ in this city which alternately attacks and defends de-fends that party proves that it has been the cause of all the woes that the working and agricultural classes have suffered for two decades that it has made millions of tramps and brought more losses on the nation than a civil war would haye wrought and then wags the other half of its doubleton gue in vicious vituperation at those who repeat its own sayings about the party I I prostrate Perhaps the pointing out of these patent facts will not be esteemed as a favor But if the Republican party becomes any more pitiful and abject than it is today its obituary will be in I I order and our contemporary will have I i congenial occupation provided its own obituary will not be a previous necessity neces-sity |
