ROM the Democratic League comes a resolution urging upon the Democratic members of the Legislature “the serious importance of prompt and unqualified performance of the party promises as contained in the Rochester platform.” It is strange that such urging should be needed. | The party in this State and iu the nation has Tong been out of power. Last fall the people, exasperated by the subservitnce of the Republican party to the big interests as exem- plified in the tariff, and dikgu@ted with the revelations made of the | inner working of the Repwbli¢an machine at Albany, recalled the | Democfatic party to power. That party is now on trial. A Presi- dential election is approaching. And yet the Democratic Legislators | at Albany have to be urged to attend to their duty. ' Republican subservience to the trusts is not worse than Demo- | cratic subservience to Tammany Hall. The trusts at least are not | ts i There- | ) lent in their domination as is the boss of Tammany. {* fore it behooves Democracy to shake off the ‘l'ammany taint if it wishes to carry this State next year. ‘The League is on the right | i tragk, but it will have to do something more than pass resolutions 4 if it expects to win.

GnsPIP tars R fiBY ABERT PAYSON TERMUNE DT ky Copyright, 1011, by The Pree Publishing Co, (The New York World), No. 5—The ‘‘Boston Tea Party.’’ HIS {s the story of a conspiracy that had sensational “comic opera” elements, but which, nevertheless, brought our country # long step nearer to liberty. | The conspiracy’s climaz ts known to history as the | Tea Party.” It centred about Colonial Americans’ love of tea and theli | hatred of taxes. England—ruler of America in those days—had put a heavy | tax on all tee landed at English ports and sent out to the colonies. The col- | onists were not bothered at first by this tax, for they did not pay it. Instead of buying tea from England they drank cheaper tea that was emuggled into | the country by Dutch ships. England to offset this put a tax of six cents @ pound on all tea that came into America. The colonists resented taxation by a government that allowed them no representation in Parliament. So they promptly refused to drink any tea that was imported from England, and kept on buying from the ch smugglers. As a result the English tea interests were sean on tin verge of collapse, and the East India Company found ftself overstocked with nearly 9,000 tone of unsnlable tea In its London warehouses. ‘The company induced the British Government to let it wef tea to America at a price that would underbid the smugglers, and to appoint commissioners to every American port to collect the duty on it. In several cities the colonists forced these commisstoners to resign. New York and Ph'\deipnia sent back the tea ships with all thetr cargoes untouched. But the commissioners appointed for n would not resign. A ship laden with 114 great chests of tea reached Bos- roor on Nov. 28, 1773, and prepared to turn {ts cango over to the commis- sloners, eel ‘This roused the colonists to fury. England, they de- clared, was trying to “force the tea and the tax together down their throats.” Protests to the commissioners had no effect. Merchants formed a league, refusing to import any sort of goods from England while the eppreasion should A Strange “Deadlock. | continue. | Then @ conspiracy wae formed—enrolling among ite members eome of Boe ton's foremost men-‘o fight this “test case’ by every possible means. The plot ters realized that the issue meant more than @ few mere tea chests, or even the abstaining from the much-loved morning cup of tes (“dish of tay,” as the fagh- fonables of the time called it). They knew it was e test of Tyranny against Inde- endence. And they vowed to protect their rights, ‘They cautioned the ship's captain that he would land the tea at his own peril, and they set a watch of twenty-five patriots on the wharf to prevent him from disobeying. Meantime, two other tea ships arrived in port. The colonists refused to allow the tea to be landed. The commissioners and the Royal Governor refused to let the ships go back to England without unioad- ing. It was a deadlock. The colonists patrolled the dooks to keep the tea aboard the ships. The Governor trained the harbor gune on the ships with * threat to fire on them should they sail without unioading. By law, if a cargo were not landed within twenty days after @ ehfp's arrtval 1{ must be seized and auctioned by the customs oMfatais. On midnight of Deo. 16, 1775, these twenty daye would expire and the colonists would be victorious. But the conspirators were not content to win in this way. They wanted to force Boston into open disobedience to Engiand's orders and to raise a point of issue | around which all the colonies could rally. | They sent out a call to a mans-meeting on the evening of Deo, 16. Seven thou- | sand patriots attended it. Whether or not the meeting was really @ blind for he exciting events of that night, or whether some of the conspirators planned it in good faith can never be knowm At all events, no sooner was the meeting assembled (and the full attention of Boston's British authorities, police, eokiiers, i} fo, centred upon it), than « far more epectaculer n= ing began. Samuel Adams, addressing the Dig atdience, cried: “This meeting can do nothing now to save the country!" The words may or may not have been e signal. But no | sooner were they spoken than a chorus of wild war Whoops apltt the silence of the night. A throng of men disguised in the headgear, blankets and dMdeous war- paint of Indians burst forth from the darkness and rushed howling through the quiet streets toward the docks where three tea ships lay moored, + Brushing aside every obstacle, the “Indians” swarmed aboard these ships and began laying about them with hatohets at the pilee of tea chests. For three hours the mock-eavages hammered away at the chests until every ingle box was smashed and every pound of tea hurled Into the waters of the | harbor. A crowd of sympathizers on the dock prevented the dumfounded au- | thorities from interfering. | Dhree hundred and forty-two chests were burst open and $90,000 worth of tea destroyed. England could devise no fitting punishment for this wild act. The culprits were too cleverly disguised for recognition, and their fellow-conspirators kept the secret well. British authority had been successfully defied, and the first openty deflant move in the Revolution had been made.
