CLEVELAND AND THE BUSINESS MAN.
The speech of ex-President Cleveland
at the Boston banquet is a model of
wise, conservative statesmanship. Ife
has said and done many things that has
stamped him as the foremost statesman
of this age, but he has never said any¬
thing which will so strengthen the gen¬
eral good of the country, if carried out
faithfully and fully, ns his Boston
speech.
Ignoring the plutocrat and the drone,
lie goes straight to the subject ami ad
vises the business men of the countrv
to enter actively and give direction to
politics. In these columns we have
before seen fit to discuss this question,
and we are constrained to recur to it
again in view of its importance, and
especially important must it be to
evoke, the discussion of President
Cleveland upon so great an event as
the Boston banquet.
The progress and safety of all the
material interests of the country depend
upon the business man—lie who jseverv
day carving from the environments
about him his fame and fortune. With¬
out the wealth and indifference of the
plutocrat and spurning the habits and
tendencies of the drone, he and Ins
fellows are thc arteries which support
the commerce and business life of the
body politic and should therefore give
direction to its existence. In every
vocation of life the drones appear, and
as a rule, in politics they arc more fus
sy and consequential than the worker
who feels the necessity and desire to
attend to his business interests and
perpetuate his business life. There are
drones in wealth, drones in thriftless
ness and idleness—the one a dead but
standing member of thc business world;
‘he other a satelite that would feed
upon it without money and without
price. The one an incubus and the
other a menanee to the business inter
csts of the country. The one forms
trusts to squeeze the balance of man
kind; the other forms cliques and clans
to filch from them. Thus between thc
upper and nether millstone it behooves
the business man whose business safe
ty depends upon the progress, enterprise
and prosperity of the country to see to
it lhal the tot imn-oals of lilc ooti.lrj
arc not imperiled bv either class, hut
enter the political world and contest
for its mastery: for by purifying and
saving tit they will save themselves
‘

who is always wise and conservative,
be heeded. It is more vital and about
it there is clustered greater interests
than is generally understood. Surely
in his mind the question is of great and
growing magnitude.
While it will not do to entirely ex
elude the drones in this democratic gov¬
ernment, it will never do to let them
run the politics of this country. As a
rule the mail who is a drone and an idler
and who cannot successfully run his
own business imagines that he is a
born politician aud as soon as he gets
able to pay his poll tax he teels that
the success!til administration of our
political polity is upon him and he
treads at once with petty confidence

“ ,0 great conservatism and thought of
the country re-asserts itself it is hurled
from high places and relegated to the
ignorance and smallness from which
it sprung.
I n New York City, the home of
President Cleveland, this is a most per¬
i nicious question. Practically in some
wan,H of thal cit J ‘be polities and man

■
ing evil and seeing that ithasa tenden¬
cy to spread like a contagion and grow
in its baneful influence, President
(,’leveland lias sounded the alarm to put
the conservative and business world on
notice of this menace to the peace,
Progress and prosperity ot tliecounti}.
Whether the warning will be heeded
or whether the affairs of government
will he turned over to the careless and
irresponsible depends at last upon the
P eo l ),e vvho ar « aGec-ted and upon them
rests the responsibility.
THE GIFTED GRADY.
No speech made recently i lias attract
ed so universal and favorable comment
as ‘bat made bv Henry Grady in bos¬
tou on J' c ‘-th inst., at a banquet
"here the gifted Georgian, ex-l’resi
dent Cleveland and ex-Senator Chaun
<;t ’. v Depew were the chosen orators.
Tits discussion of ‘-The Negro Prob
\ lei, b “‘e most apprehensive and com¬
pheuted question that uow environs the
South, was frank, incisive, broad and
statesmanlike, yet in language so chaste,
in expression so fraternal and in all so
deeply human that it planted the ques
‘' on 90 prejudice in the head ot ,
the Fast and watered it to fruition and
healthy growth with the tears ot ms ■
audience. Without apology, without
prejudice and without passion and
with manly coinage, deep conviction
and lull understanding he presented the
great Southern question in the halls
«».».. J« slm,tod will, ,l,« lewd,
* n « s Sumter and deflected by the
P° Uc y o{ Tha<1 Stevens in a manner so
eloquent, so touching and so true that
it will penetrate thc fireside of the citi
en frce from the vaporingsof the dem
agogne or the schemes of thc partisan.
The fraternity of all sections is at
‘‘ K ’ ou ‘.v hope of the country, and
if the good work so inaugurated is
maintained on the high plane where it
has been pitched in fuller understand
«■ conimumeatnm a ''«V

pride of the South and the wonder of
the North, and is but at the very lltres
hold of the fortune that awaits him.
