The keynote of Lieutenant Gov ernor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler’s address at the Georgia State Fair Friday at noon was prosperity, not politics; but ho discussed tho evils of corporation rule and dwelt upon the need of bringing.tho gov ernment closer to .the people. The distinguished >New Yorker was heard by a throng which cheered him at intervals in applause of the Dempcratie principles which he outlined. RECOGNITION OF EVIL 8I0N OF HEALTHY MIND. After thanking his audience for the welcome given to him and expressing his affection for the South , os the'de scendant of a line of Southern ances tors, Lieutenant Governor Lewis Stuy vesant Chanter said: "I have not come to cry calamity, chaos and corruption. Our country was never greater than today, our post history never more appreciated, our present power never better understood and our future prosperity never more cetain. The ovlls that alarm us are the evils,thnt belong to and are a part of great and sudden.development. The mere fact that we aro alarmed at their existence Is evidence that our general condition Is one of health. Ours Is not the whining of a chronic Invalid; It Is the natural outcry of the strong man who ends himself-In pain, dislikes It, nnd demands to bo made well again. If we havo a heartache, suicide Is not the euro; and If no moro than an nchlng tooth. It la often better to refill , the tooth than to pull It. "Nearly every growing child suffers ' from growing pains, os Ita Joints are too suddenly stretched to keep pace with rapid growth. Yet tho pains In dicate a condition which. If neglected, results In a weakened physical frame. The Joints of our constitution are be ing stretched and strained by our sud den and general enlargement in com mercial and national development. There Is a straining of the natural and essential ligaments of national strength —the Inherent power of Individual states—due to a growing tendency toward csntrallsatlon. "There Is a tendency toward danger ous weakness In Individual effort In commercial enterprise, because of that enormous growth of centralised com mercial power known as the trust. There la a lack of Independent, Indi vidual opinion due to the facility of hiring other men to think for us. But granting all this, we Improve as wo grow. The recognition of evil and sn universal desire to have the evil cured ore signs of a healthy mind. "Admitting the evil, without undue exaggeration, let us diagnosticate the symptoms with a view to cure the dis ease without Injury to the otherwise healthy body. Let us first have the history of the patient: “Many years ago, the descendants of those who had fled from oppression they could no longer endure, found In a new country the old wrongs again be coming oppressive. A strip of sea- bifind colonies bade defiance to a worldwide empire upon n question of principle. That principle wss 'equal rights to all, special privilege to none.' As Webster afterwards satd.

PRINCIPLE JUSTIFIED BY SU8EQUENT EVENT8. "This principle had Justification In the surrender of Cornwallis and the tri umph of Washington, and yet, almost before the last British soldier had left our shores and the echo of the last can. non had signalised their departure, men who had fought shoulder to shoulder found themselves in opposing political camps, eaoh desiring In a different way to'make lasting apd certain the splen did victory for liber— resulted from their effort. "Two schools of political thought took the places of opposing armies—each school Imbued with a different kind of patriotism, but both willing to live nnd die In the service of fhe republic that hail been conceived In their thoughts nnd bom of their deeds. The-followers of Hamilton were as loyal Americans as those who believed with Jefferson; they merely differed as to the best means of attaining the same end, which Was the permanent stability of the new republic. "When we compare the nation of to day with the country bequeathed to us by the fathers of the republic, we should remember that tho constitution drawn up by them no more contem plated our present development, from the Atlantic to tho Pacific and Worn to MR vice, than did the Inter state commerce law contemplate the future possibilities of aerial navigation. Whnt they did was to crystallise the fundamental Ideals of our existence Into the most wonderful declaration of gov ernmental principles that the world has ever produced. EXISTING EVILS GREW OUT OF TAMPERING. ‘It did not pretend to be all-seeing and unalterable, but It enunciated cer tain rules of government that were to. remain In effect until they were legally altered, not by one man or any set of men, whether Judges or law-makers, but by the cltlxena nf the United States. "Tampering with qur constitution has capped many existing ovlls. We-have glanced at the history of our nation as a doctor glances at that of his patient and we find the national pulse strong, with a constitution weakened for the moment by sudden development, undi gested legislation and spurious reme dies recommended by quack doctors who enrich themselves at the patient's expense. We started with a clean bill of health. ‘Equal rights and no special privilege.' Ae we grew from seaboard colonies Into a nation, we neediM reve nue.

A tariff, a bounty or a rebate Is a special privilege and Is opposed to equal rights. We began with the tariff. We found that rail roads were necessary and we gave to them bounties In the form of eminent domain. CORPORATIONS LEARNED POWER OF POLITICS. "The protected manufacturer nnd the privileged railroad were necessary to our development. Without government. aid. Indirectly given, we Could not suddenly have sprung from seaboard colonies to a world-wldo power. This was determined by statesmen of the last generation to.be a necessary devia tion from the true American Ideal and It Is too late to cavil or to And fault with them. Thera Is, however, a wide difference between a temporary ex? pedlent and a permanent habit. "Our. manufacturers arid our railroad directors soon learned that by going Into politics they could Increase and perpetuate their power; they were shown that by small. Indirect and al most Invisible taxation of the people, they could supply a political fund to insure the success of the party that wpuld perpetuate their power 1 arid In crease, their wealth. Orice .safely en trenched, the exploiters bf commercial privilege combined with) the railroads M pri-v.-m Ix-iililn i-.qiipWlMim. Why shouldn't thoy? The government had granted special privileges to . them. Why should they not. In turn, -grant special privileges to each other, evert If such acts violated the fundamental but forgotten principle of 'no privilege and ehual rights?" Thqlrs was spe cious. fallacious reasoning! LET LAWBREAKERS RECEIVE PUNISHMENT. "The government had sit an example and It was riot for the self-styled 'cap tains of Industry' to And ijault with the government so long as the great public poured money Into their coffers. A moment ago, I said that every existing evil had Its source In and-sprang from •t'o protective system—a system that ted men to believe they could combine with Impunity under the shadow of tho government's sanction, without regard for any precept, however hallowed by age or tradition, that formed no practi cal portion of a successful party’s plat form. "While I believe thle to be true, I would not have you think that the rem edy need be more dangerous than the disease. But, Inasmuch as railroads and other Corporations have become a recognised ■ part of our national and commercial life, In which, under the government’s protection and guarantee, the masses have Invested (their hard- earned and stilt more hard-kept sav ings, their property Interests must be' safeguarded.

ROCKEFELLER UNDI8MAYED BY HIS HUGE FINE. ■'We read, for Instance, that Mr. Rockefeller, now that he has retired from active participation In Standard Oil violations of statute law, was play ing his favorite game of golf when tolil of the fine of >29.000,000 Imposed nominally upon the Htumlard Oil Com pany, but actually upon the public. Was Mr. Rockefeller disturbed? Investors In nil kinds of securities were, and widespread business anxiety reflected their fears. But not Mr. Rockefeller; he finished his game with a smile and an almost record score. He foresaw that the flne, when collected, would come from the pockets of the people in on Increased price of oil. ■What a farce! Nay, worse. What a tragedy to Invoke the law with loud acclaim of satisfied Justice, only to end by actually hurting no one except the Innocent public! "Let us abandon, as not forming any part of our development—mental, moral or national—spectacular effect so cher ished by the political mountebanks! Let us. having traced the cause of our na tional disease to special privilege only to find that special privilege has sprung from the tariff, see, If possible, how the disease can be gradually cured, without Injury to the body, politic or commercial. That splendid body of American life has more value to us. as American citizens who love our country whether rightly or wrongly governed, than has any political triumph, aca demic discussion or learned treatise. TAKE THE TARIF OUT OF POLITICS. Conceded that the evils threatening us spring from special privilege—and a protective tariff Is special privilege—let us seek the remedy In a common sense and Intelligent treatment of the tariff evil. We have lived and grown grent, under, but not because of, the protec tive system. To thoughtlessly destroy that system wuuld be to kill tho patient before an attempt at cure.

The tariff, as It now ex Ists, la an evil! "President McKinley, In his last pub lic words, practically admitted it. But this method of raising money to carry- on government has become so much a part of our national economics that a tariff. In some form. Is today a national necessity. A national necessity should never be a football to be played with bv political parties! “Take the tariff out of politics! Divorce It from every suggestion of political manipulation. Make the rais ing of revenue a national, not a parti san, responsibility. The army and navy are not fettered by politics; they are not made use of for private gain. The tariff should stand upon the same high plane, not to be made use of as a private privilege, but regulated and re spected as a national necessity, re duced to the lowest terms commensu rate with our commercial growth and national importance.

After na tlonal elections are over, congressional committees of strictly political com plexion have been appointed In the past, to which the vital Interests of the peo ple In the tariff are entrusted. “The result always has been either a partisan report with undigested, radical changes or a partisan report with no real changes. The undigested, radical report has created disturbance without effecting cure and has resulted In an Increased tariff a few years later. ‘‘Let us Insist upon rigid and Intelli gent Investigation. Let a commission be appointed of senators and represen tatives of both parties. Add to that commission the most learned exponents of political economy, chosen by Recog nised institutions of learning. Add to them men who represent the Importer and .exporter, manufacturer and con sumer, choqen by the chambers of commerce of our centers of civic strength; call In authorised representa tives of organised labor and of the Farmers’ Grange, and, after all sides have been heard, such a tariff confer ence will have enlightened the people of this country as to the best remedies.

JUDGMENT 8H0ULD BE IN HANDS OF PEOPLE. “The trouble heretofore has been that the people have had no voice In the tariff schedule after their votes had placed the power of discrimination and decision In the hands of one party or the other. It W a partisan commit tee that deals with tariff reform, which, ever party Is In power. Before It, with prepared schedules, come the personal representatives of each powerful pro tected interest that has by money con tribution to campaign funds Insured victory to the party in power.

Let the peo ple themselves be upon the bench of the court that Is to pass judgment upon matters affecting their mast vital interests. Out of the discussions and vast Information resultant from a na tional tariff conference, composed of men who represent every recognised branch American trade, commerce, labor and development, will come the light of truth.
