We can give no particulars at this time, but merely inquire, in a voice of thunder, what was the meaning of the painful decrepitude of the secretary after a private interview with his superior in office, and of the green patch that the latter wore over his left eye? THE KICKERS AND THE WORKERS. HEN GOVERNOR HILL, responding to a disgruntled delegation who were embarrassed by a Republican legislative majority, advised that “first, second, and always they kick, kick, kick,” he divined and di- rected the mental capacity of his party and unwittingly exploited its his- tory, practice, and purpose. A party is like a person. It cannot be dis enthralled from its political ancestry. It has in it, as has a child, the fibre and forces of its progenitors. This generation is the pulverent product of prior ones, grouped under modern conditions and compounded by the chemistry of a later and more favorable civilization, The persistent en- deavor to frustrate federal legislation is but a fading flavor of the old spirit of nullification, and the “ great Georgian’s" threat of a business boycott is only the senile echo of the planter’s whip. Latter-day Democracy is unfortunately controlled by its heredity. For half a century it has been the party of inertia, and the struggle of the rebellion was only a resistance to be “let alone.” Modern pulses and the swift weaving of recent thought disturbed the stolidity of plantation life, dependent upon servile labor and desiring its continuance and its ex- tension. The barricade behind which it attempted to find shelter bruised it in its breaking yet did not de- stroy, as slow - blooded life is the most tenacious. The spasms of Democratic re- vival were full of promise and dis- appointment to its deluded adher- ents, It demanded an extension of trade and opening of broader mar- kets, yet diverted the national ap- propriation for ocean mail- service that would have effected it into the coffers of foreign steamships, and sent our business correspond- ence under the protection of a for- cign flag. It promised relief to constricted circulation by the help fulness of affluent silver, yet formu- lated no measure to produce the result. It proposed to lessen the duties on sugar and remove wholly the tariff on wool, yet asked no re- ciprocal benefit of the exporting na- tion in exchange for demuttonizing our western pastures and turning acres of sheep land to the growth of glutted grain. It evolved and re- iterated the absurdity that the agri- cultural thirteen millions out of our sixty-four millions of people were the only consumers in the land. It bred distrust and discontent by the false statement that all the burdens of revenue fell upon labor and that capital was exempt. It suppressed by silence the fact that the products of the farm were as well or better protected than any interests in the country. It demanded lower rates of duty ostensibly to lower the profits of our manufactures, and proposed to give to foreigners earnings it would deny to our own, It repressed the fact that every manufactured product had been vastly lowered in cost to the consumer through domestic competition and in contrast with the prices for revenue tariff only when dependent on a foreign market. The Democracy denounces any attempt to embarrass facility of the ballot, and claims surveillance, registration and protection of the voter as allied to tyranny; yet in the south it protects and applauds political murder, and in the north condones political fraud. ‘The Republican party is very far from perfect. It has, however, ful- filled a could its pledges to the people, It has not shirked, but passed, a silver bill. Its policy for the extinguishment of polygamy and the supremacy of the Mormon church over the state is a success. It has stopped the limitless immigration of the Mongolian, and is restricting the inflow of European pauper labor. It has reduced the internal revenue tax. It proposes to give black and white, rich and poor, the right to a silent and unintimidated suffrage. Its mission of work rather than words is not yet ended. No ideal in party effort can be fully realized, and hievement never equals anticipation. Appealing to the general intelli- ence of the country, it seems improbable that a popular indorsement can be given to the party of repose as against the party of progress. J. A. comicbooks.com
