AUGUSTA, QA,:
Friday Morning, October, 8, 1875.
Fact and Theory—The Coming Con
test-Nemesis Abroad.
As if replying plainly and practically
to the elaborate dialectics of Schurz
and Woodford, Gov. Allen is reported
to have said that “in all great contests
in which the .many are struggling to
maintain some prerogatives of power
which are threatened by the stronger
or richer k few, * the whole matter, dis
guised as it may be by the name of
currency, National backs, or what not,
resolves itself at last into the plain
question whether the country shall be
governed by the man or by the dollar.
That is the whole question, and there
never was any other question in this
country.”
The power of money in combination
is almost irresistible when employed
against the multitude who, by their
very necessities, are subject to its per
suasion or coercion. A few remarkable
spirits have appeared in the world,
outside of religious orders, who
were impervious to the temptation
of honors and emoluments, like
Rousseau and Beranger, but the ma
jority of mankind, when reduced to
direst extremities, will sell honor, repu
tation, chastity, even the hope of
heaven, for the slave of the mine.
In the Ohio contest, before the
moneyed men of the East, Democrat
and Republican, began pouring their
treasure and speakers, purchased for
a price, into the campaign, It really
looked as if Gov. Allen had an easy
walk over. But, unless all signs fail,
the situation has changed, and while
the old Roman may conquer, and
effectually too, it is certain that his
road to victory has become more
and more thorny, and the opposi
tion have displayed energy, confidence
and enthusiasm, of late, by no means
in consonance with their earlier laxity,
dosperation and want of fervor. How
has this happened if not power
of money ? When it is remembered
how great the stake is in Ohio, politi
cally and financially, no astonishment
need be evinced that a rich and formi
dable class, at home and in Europe,
should “bleed” profusely, and willingly
likewise, in order to defeat Allen and
practically save themselves from a
threatened deluge. Who can blame
them? In their place, how many men
would sacrifice their possessions and
privileges for the benefit of the common
herd ? Precious few, we venture to as
sert. Hence it is, that if Allen can be
overthrown by money, hi3 fate is
sealed. On the other hand, it may be
that the popular wave can be checked,
but not altogether buffeted back, aud
that the supply of greenbacks neces
sary to effect the object desired is not
adequate or not judiciously appro
priated. How far this project is a suc
cess, and how far a failure, the future
will presently disclose.
Meanwhile, be the campaign in Ohio
what it will, and result as it may, the
struggle over the finances can not be
settled at a blow.
In our advices of yesterday, we see
those prophets of storm, Wendell
Phillips and Benjamin F. Butler, com
ing to the fore. They have dealt as
they deemed proper with the South,
and now seem determined to make the
North tremble. Butler especially is
gathering his forces for the fray,
and, in the rattling of dry bones
and curious conglomerations of the po
litical world, he may be found in
strange company. He is to speak in
$ New York on the 14th inst., and we
predict that his utterances will be
memorable, for he is if one of the wick
edest, also one of the most intellectual
men in this country. How he will treat
the financial problem, his letter to Mr.
Eugene Beebe, Secretary of the Legal
Tender Club, will give an inkling.
Here it is:
Boston, October 3.
Dear Sir : I have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of yours of the 28th, telling
me what must be the case—that real prop
erty in the city of New York was passing
into the hands of the mortgagees, and leav
ing a deficit even then. This is a result of
the endeavor to contract the values of
every kind of property except invested
debt, through legislation voted for in Con
gress by more than sixty Bank Directors,
voting in their own interest, under a ruling
of parliamentary law made by another
Bank Director. It is impossible that the
people of this country will permit this state
of business ruin long to continue.
“I read in the Associated Press dispatches
yesterday the saddest sentence that has
ever come to my eye. Speaking of the
Fall River troubles, a manufacturer said:
‘The courage is all taken out of the opera
tives. They will submit to anything for
work.’ You have been writing me, and I
have been replying, upon the subject of the
reduction of values of property by this
system of contraction; but what shall we
say of tho reduction of men into slaves by
this system of contraction? Men, full
white, and twenty-one, crushed down iu
spirit until they will submit to anything,
simply ‘to get work!’—an opportunity to
earn their bread by tho swoat of their face
—not a right to partake of the blessing of
God to His creatures on earth—to submit
to anything for the privilege only to enjoy
the primeval curse?
“How long, oh, Lord, how long shall such
things be? The end, sooner or later, must
surely come in this — that the working men
and women will be obliged to call for their
wages invested in savings banks, and that
amount is greater than the capital of the
National Banks, although it enjoys none of
the fifteen per cent, dividends of the latter
institutions; and when that call comes the
money-lender at usury must stand from
under, and may find himself as much bro
ken in spirit as the working man is now,
and 'ready to submit to any thing for
work.’ “Ycurs, truly,
Benj. f. Butler.”
That the money power will make a
supreme effort to maintain Itself and
shrink at nothing in the endeavor, is as
certain as an axiom in mathematics.
That the masses are aroused against
them, and will be still more kept up to
the boiling point, is equally true. Out
of such a contest, then, will either
spring a vast popular triumph or a
despotism. Grant sees this and has
been playing his cards accordingly.
We predict that, within a year, both
Republicans and Democrats will be
startled at the turn taken by
the political kaleidoscope. The “re
sults of the war” against the
3outh are developing into a
magnitude little dreamed of by the ar
chitects of our ruin. It is natural that
Butler & Cos., having destroyed negro
slavery and thereby enslaved the white
laborers of the North, should now ap
pear in the roles of friends of the very
serfs among them, made so by the war
of the States and the subsequent war
of Reconstruction against the South.
We of the South, though deeply inter
ested in the consequences of this
mighty strife, can, with some compla
cency, watch the infuriated combat
ants and, standing by, await the com
pensations of justice, the retribution
of inflexible laws and the inevitable
revenges of time.
Grant.
A “ German-American,” writing to
the Philadelphia Times , tells some plain
truths. He says the men who laugh at
Grant’s aspirations may laugh on the
wrong side of their mouths pretty soon
and that the course adopted by certain of
the Democratic presses is well calculat
ed to help the President-General to a
third term. He thus concludes :
It is useless to affect to deal with this
matter in the ordinary American style.
You have to do something to awaken the
ma°ses to see the danger. I discover every
day that the average man on this continent
is absolutely unprepared for the struggle
of 1876. It is useless to deal with 1876 in
the manner as house-carpenters build fqpr
walls and put a roof on it, and then say
they have built a house. I am truly puz
zled. What are nine-tenths of the leaders
of both parties, more corrupt or more ig
norant? I have neither time to write nor
you patience to read all I could say upon
this subject. You (not knowing me) may
as an “ American.” attribute my warnings
to the fact that lam born abroad. In this
way with a wave of the hand the average
American tries to get rid of the matter. To
this I would reply: 1 claim to have studied
the ‘‘Grant” question as very few have.
No one knows better than I that everything
will be done under tho color of law. Thus
you see I believe in no “ coup d’etat," in the
sense of the Latin races. I write you these
lines that you may know that there are a
few—really very few —who soar above all
what may be ordinarily written and said
on the subject. I see the danger thicken
ing every day. Grant’s saying in Des
Moines is not a “speech,” but a manifesto,
and ought not to be laughed at.
That man, no matter where he was
born, has a penetrating and sagacious
intellect. We are approaching a crisis
in our affairs which is one of the most
momentous in the history of America.
Keeley and his Motor.
Keeley is not dead, and his inven
tion, though in abeyance, does not
slumber. A private exhibition was
given of its power, the other day, be
fore many prominent gentlemen, in
cluding a Yice-Admiral of the English
navy. The Times says: “Mr. Keeley
showed to the satisfaction of all that
he had the power of producing in a few
moments, and out of the simplest ele
ments, very considerable elastic force;
so great, indeed, that being applied to
a large lever heavily weighted the un
precedented pressure of 1,750 pounds
to the square inch was indicated by the
gauge. But as this force was not con
tinuous in its action, as was shown by
the fact of the gauge declining from
1,750 pounds to 500 pounds in half an
hour, the suggestion was made by one
of the British naval officers that possi
bly this force could not be made con
stant, and therefore would not bo cal
culated to do actual ‘work.’ The Eng
lish officers declined to express any
opinion, for the reason, as they de
clared, thatjthey-knew nothing about
it; they simply saw certain results, but
were utterly unable to account for their
mode of production. Mr. Keeley de
clares that as soon as ho gets his new
machine, the last piece of which is
promised within a week, he will be en
abled to renew the’ mysterious power
developed at the exhibition, and, in
deed, increase it forty-fold, if neces
sary.”
Odious Comparisons.— ln addressing a
Grange meeting of Rockbridge county,
Virginia, Mr. J. D. Davidson, a lawyer,
is thus reported: “He said that it was
a shameful fact that there ‘are but five
thousand sheep in Rockbridge, two
thousand less than Job fed in the land
of Uz.’ He quoted the Culpepper (Va.)
Times, which said that in that county
one hundred thousand sheep might be
raised, which, at the lowest estimate,
would yield 8300,000;more than all the
other crops in the county would yield
Iu two years, and at a greatly less cost.”
Another local paper, the Observer ad
ded: “There are three obstacles in the
way, however, of the people entering
on this branch of husbandry, to-wit:
The Legislature, the rogues and the
dogs.” Mr. Davidson referred to a
tabular statement of the taxable prop
erty in Rockbridge county in 1874, from
which it appears that that county in
vests In music, silverware and jewelry
836,800; in sheep, 810,800; in hogs, 820,-
500—831,300; showing an excess in mu
sic and silverware over sheep and hogs
of 85,500. This shows good taste in
tho fine arts, but Mr. Davidson seems
to prefer the substantial to the poeti
cal. He also complained that Virgin
ians too often bought their bacon, corn
and lard from the West instead of
raising them at home. The absence of
old Virginia (as well as Maryland) hams
from the market has been lately com
mented on at home and abroad.”
It is said that, in one of the finest
counties of Georgia, there were found
4,000 dogs and only 4 sheep.
Poe’s Brain.— The singular preserva
tion of Shelley’s heart when his re
mains were cremated is matched by
that of Poe’s brain. A medical gen
tleman, present when all that was left
of the author of the Raven was disen
terred, states that the brain had not
been destroyed. He adds that the
cerebral mass, as seen through the
base of the skull, evidenced no sign of
disintegration or decay, though, of
course, it was somewhat diminished in
size. We are somewhat sorry that
these sepulchral details should have
been made public. They destroy an
ideal. Do what wo will, since reading
what the pious resurrectionists dis
closed, the image of Poe rises before
us, not in physical beauty and sorrow
ful song, but as a hideous skeleton.
Think of his teeth rattling in the coffin
when his skull was lifted into anew
repository!
Jewish Isimigration. —The journals
published in the interest of the Jewish
people are, like all other newspapers,
not agreed as to certain policies. We
read, for example, that the Hebrew
Benevolent Association of Canada ad
vertises in London papers that Jewish
emigrants should be sent to the United
States and not to the Dominion. Where
upon, the Jewish Messenger, of New
York, advises that England keep her
own poor at home and that New York
Israelites are supporting over 1,000
such families. It adds: “There is al
ways room in America for the energetic
and active man who follows a trade or
is able and willing to engage in farm
labor; but tho emigrants sent hither
from England are almost uniformly of
the class for which no advance is pos
sible, because they are thriftless and
have been pauperized. The cost of living
is so much less on the continent that,
on the score of economy, it would pay
American Israelites to contribute to the
support of the poor in Europe, rather
than have them added to the popula
tion here.”
Hobson’s Choice.— The day before the
Charleston election, the Columbia
Register' made the following tart, and,
we presume, truthful comment: “The
contest is of a character and between
influences not calculated to excite any
great interest in the State and no en
thusiasm. Nor will the old city have
any cause to rejoice over the success
of either of the factions which rend her
to pieces and bring down her intelli
gence, honor, enterprise and public
spirit into the dust of their degrada
tion.” In other words the selection was
between the devil and a witch.
Gambling in New York City is said to be
well nigh extinct, owing to the liability of
any person entering a gambling house to
be arrested.— Exchange.
The men who fought the tiger of Ki ng
Pharaoh, in secret cells or secluded
palaces, have joined Jay Gould or his
adversaries and openly do on Wall
street what the police prohibit them
from doing at the regular establish
ments.
The gradual resumption men are like
the man who had his dog’s tail cut off an
inch at a time. — Chattanooga Times.
And the swift resumption men would cut
his tail off close to the shoulders.—Nash
ville American.
Both parties will probably succeed
in taking the “bark” off that unhappy
canine.
