AUGUSTA. GrA.:
Tuesday Morning, October 19, 1875.
Mr. Bayard—A Striking View of the
Situation.
We had the pleasure of making the
acquaintance of Hon. Thomas F. Bay
ard, U. S. Senator from Delaware, on
Sunday evening. He impressed us as
a man worthy to bear the name of
that chevalier who was without fear
and without reproach, the purest of
the Paladins of France. The Delaware
Senator is gifted with most captivating
manners and a bright, incisive intel
lect. Though but forty-seven years of
age, he has a maturity of thought
equal to the best of our oldest states
men. No one who heard him at the
time, can forget his spendid, but un
availing protest, at Ford’s Opera
House, in the Democratic Convention,
against the nomination of Gkeeley and
adoption of the Liberal Republican plat
form. It was a grand and noble
burst of indignant eloquence, but
powerless amid the madness of the
hour. His speeches in the Senate, last
Winter, were models of forensic and
scholarly elocution. His thoughts
are full, like his mind, and his utter
ance of them remarkably masculine
and rapid. There is an elan —a dash—
about him that can not fail to win the
heart of every Southern man with
whom he shall come in contact.
As we did not visit Mr. Bayabd for
the purpose of “interviewing” him, and
as he will, at length and elaborately, at
the Macon Fair, present his views of
the situation, political and otherwise, in
this country, it would be manifestly un
fair to attempt a formal sketch of
them here. We may be permitted to
say, however, that Mr. Bayabd is a
liard-money Democrat and thinks
the party will make a fatal
mistake if the greenback issue should
be made the prominent one in 1876. He
very properly subscribes to the fact
that the grand and most worthy, as
well as most triumph-bearing, issue
for the Presidency is Constitutionalism
vs. Centralism. In comparison with
that all other issues are mere second
fiddles.
Mr. Bayard says that the people of
the South have but a faint conception
or the distress at the North. He de
clared that, in his opinion, where one
man is suffering from poverty here,
ten men are suffering much more be
yond our confines in the “loyal” States.
There can be no question that this is
true, and, for our nart, we look for an
aggravation of the woe, East and
West, long before the grim Win
ter shall relax its icy grasp. A
gentleman in this city told us that
real estate near Central Park, for which
$125,000 had been paid two years ago,
less a mortgage of 35,000, was offered
him for the mortgage alone. Mr. Bay
ard, in confirmation of that statement,
said he had heard it announced in New
York that there was not a second mort
gage on any property, in the metropo
lis and vicinity, which was worth the
paper it was written on. He remarked,
too, that these were some of the “re
sults of the war” that made men al
most curse themselves for being mis
led in 1860- ? 61. We venture to assert
that this feeling will grow as time rolls
on.
On this very theme, the New York
JDay Book has some very strong re
flections and illustrations. Comment
ing upon the expression of a Massa
chusetts man that he “ fought for nig
ger freedom, but didn’t want to be a
slave himself,” our contemporary says :
What ho calls negro freedom and white
slavery are cause and effect, inevitable, in
separable, unavoidable and everlasting,
and all the power of human kind, and hell
itself to back it, cannot change or even
modify this monstrous fact, for it is fixed
forever in the heart and nature of things.
Look at it. The Northern producer or la
borer raised wheat, corn, potatoes, stock,
etc., and though he had but little annual
surplus, after feeding and clothing his fam
ily and taking care of his stock through
the long Winters, ho had little or no taxes
to pay, and with a cheap and simple
Government, rapid growth of the
country, and the consequent increased
value of his farm, he often grew rich, and
was able to provide moderately for his
children. So the Southern planter owned
a plantation and the “service” or so-called
slavery of a hundred negroes. He raised
cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco, &e., and these
negroes, needing but a small portion of
that which they produced, and both men
and women working in the fields, with little
or no winter or stock to feed, and the plan
ter himself living a frugal life, there was a
large annual surplus acquired, and which
as demonstrated by Mr. Kettel, mainly
went into the hands of Northern mer
chants and mechanics, and especially of the
ship-owner, who made .the exchange with
Europe.
Prior to the acquisition of Louisiana,
there was little or no American capital, in
deed, out little until after the war of 1812;
but after the Indians were removed west of
the Mississippi, and that great tropicoid re
gion of the Southwest opened to the indus
trial adaptation of the negro, the accumu
lation of capital was enormous, and from
1820 to 1860, without parallel in the history
of the world. The planter, like the North
ern farmer, wanted- nothing from the Gov
ernment save its protection, desired, of
course, the simplest and cheapest govern
ment possible, and opposed to all kinds and
degrees of special legislation, public debt,
national banks, tariffs, Ac., mainly fought
the battle of the Northern laborer as well
as his own, from the beginning. The
planter, or so-called slaveholder, made the
Government, there being only five men in
the Convention of 1787 that did not own
negro “service,” and every one of them was
opposed t > the form finally adopted, and
the Jeffebsons, Calhouns, Jacksons,
Bartows, Toombses and Davises mainly
defended it from the Northern “money
power,” and preserved its original benefi
cence and simplicity until the fatal advent
of Abraham Lincoln in iB6O.
Such is the history of the country. It
was the vetoes of Jackson, Tyler and
Polk, and the votes of Southern planters
in Congress, that kept down the “money
power” and tendency of capital to enslave
labor; but who ever heard of a Northern
President vetoing a bank bill, or any
scheme whatever to plunder labor of its
due ? The planter or so-called slaveholder
was a producer, a laborer, working with
his brains, and in most cases with his
hands, as well as his t nslrwnents of pro
duction, and therefore, as Mr. Jefferson
caHed him, tbe natural ally of the North
ern laborer, and the only reliable champion
of the cause of labor the world has ever
is it now? Why, simply thus-the
jeffebsons and Jacksons, who, for seven
; ty years, were the onl y effective defenders of
of the cause of labor, are abolished, for
sooth, and their negro subgens are forced
to the front as the “equals,” though not
the allies, of the Northern laborer, for they
are helpless and stupid instruments of the
“money power” to enslave the working
classes of the North ! Thus, were there no
public debt at all, the spectacle presented
of a million of Degro voters—a blind,
stupid, inert, helpless mass—to be wielded
by capital to enslave and plunder the
laboring classes of the North, through
banks, tariffs, railroad and other monopo
| lies—would be the most disgusting, if it
was not, indeed, the most pitiful spectacle
ever witnessed since the world began. It
would be thought a monstrous thing
simply to disfranchise a million of North
ern laborers, but that, in comparison,
would be a mere trifle, for not only do the
million of negro votes neutralize a million
of laborers, but, as we witness for ten
years past, the latter are taxed a hundred
millions annually for army, navy, <fcc., to
protect “negro freedom,” and vastly, im
measurably, unspeakably greater calamity
still, they are degraded to a common con
dition with them, however, it may be with
the bondholders, bankers, &e., who did this
“big thing.”
That is a terrible picture, but is
not every day confirming its central
truth more and more? Is there a
remedy ? The greatest intellects of the
country are engaged upon its solution.
Some think a return to specie pay
ments in 1879 will cure the malady;
others contend that a repeal of the
legal tender act, the abolishment of na
tional banks, the death of protective
tariffs, and the payment of customs
dues, if not the interest on the bonds,
in greenbacks, will secure salvation.
Our own opinion is that all remedies
will be practically inoperative [unless
the battle of Constitutionalism be
fought and won against Centralism.
The Bay-Book's prescription is as start
ling as its development of the causes
leading to the prevailing chaos. It says;
“Fortunately for the redemption of the
Northern laborer and producer from a
doom so deplorable, we are blessed with
a public debt so unparalleled, aud eveu
the interest on it so overwhelmingly
unpayable, that it must needs result in
such a horrible social cataclysis as to
bring the people to their senses, and
finally to the restoration of the grand
edifice of American freedom, as it was
before this devil’s dance began, as their
sole salvation. It seems a queer thing
to say that a national debt is a blessing,
it is true; but, as sometimes happens,
that a violent fever dominates over a
chronic and fatal malady, aud the sub
ject is restored to health, so in this
case—the universal bankruptcy and
collapse of the North will enable the
South to recover its normal condition,
and the Jeffersons and Jacksons will
again become the champions of free
dom and the only reliable defenders of
the cause of labor in Christendom.
• Meanwhile, let the “galled jade wince”
—those Northern working men who
helped to strike down their champions
at the South now see the “money
power” triumphant over them, and its
tool, Grant, twice elected by negro
votes, and unless they come to their
senses in time, certain to be again
elected in 1876 by the same means.”
Oho !—The first reflection of the Bal
timore Gazette upon the early reports
from Ohio was this:
We may be pardoned if we accept the re
sult with some pride as a vindication of the
i course pursued by the Gazette in refusing
■ to adopt the financial doctrines of the Ohio
Democrats, or to in any way aid in promo
; ting their success.
The second reflection is not like the
first. It was this:
Later returns from Ohio reduce the 110-
I publican majority to a very small figure.
.So completely were the parties split up on
the currency question that it was found im
possible to predict results. Republican
counties gave Republican losses and Dem
ocratic gains, while Democratic counties
gave largely increased Republican votes.
The result shows that a very large body of
Republicans voted for Allen and inflation,
and that many hard-money Democrats
stood for the faith and repudiated bogus
Democracy. It is nobody’s victory.
Oh, yes it is. The “honest lagos” of
Maryland and New York may largely
claim the “victory” for Hayes.*
Butler. —The New York dailies dis
miss Butler’s speech in a queer way.
The Times calls it “ rubbish ” and re
fuses to make it public. The Tribune
says it is made of “ignorance and false
hood.” The World says it is a “ dema
gogue’s trick.” The Herald finds fault
with Brtler’s notions with regard to
the Bank of England’s suspensions. -
There is a studied effort, on the part of
all these papers, to prove that Ben is a
fool—something never before attempt
ed by them so long as he ran in their
traces.
The News Abroad. —The Chicago
Tribune gleefully declares that “ the
news of the Ohio electibn was received
with great satisfaction abroad. The
London, Paris and Berlin press were
unanimous in their approval of the Re
publican triumph in the Buckeye State”
We dare say Cols. Rothschild, Bel
mont and all foreign aud native bond
holders, who have the United States
on the hip financially, are delighted to
know that their obedient servants, the
people of this country, are anxious to
toil their lives away to pay them un
limited tributes of gold.
General T. Bernard, now in London,
and late of the Confederate army, is about
to join the Insurgents in Herzegovina, it is
said, having been invited to a high com
mand. He traveled through Turkey some
years ago, and is familiar with the country
and the people.— [Exchange
We should like, in an artistic spirit,
to see the General’s face when he
reads that telegraph about the Turks
having “captured the last refuge of the
insurgents.” But then the General
may not believe the telegraph.
Miraculous. —A candidate for Sheriff
of Baltimore city avers that, if elected,
he will petition the Legislature to re
duce the fees of the office, which he
thought were entirely too high. That
man is too good for this world. He
ought to lash himself alongside of the
City Hall to fkeep from soaring to
heaven.
Consoling.— lt must be delicious for
New York and Maryland Democrats,
who helped Haye3 to vfctory and
Allen to defeat, to be twitted, as the
Republican papers are twitting them,
with having rung the death-knell of
their party in 1876.
Your Bull and My Ox.—Alluding to
certain “Ku Klux outrages” in the
South, the New York Express says :
Better the law than this violence. In
time ail such acts are retaliated, and often
with great vengeance. It is about time
that both the mean whites and bad blacks
were taken in hand at the Soutii.
There are at least two acts of vio
lence in the North to one in the South.
Missionary work is plentiful in the Ex
press’ neighborhood.
The “Pope’s Toe.”—The National
Republican, of Washington, mokes this
charming confession : “ The Pope’s
toe had more to do with it in Ohio than
a majority of hard money Republicans
are wiliing to admit.” And further, it
says that the School question and the
anti-CAREY influences combined to aid
the Republicans in their struggle for
hard money; but we fear that if they
had not been aided by these side issues
they would have been defeated.
Ehem! —What in the world does the
Union-Herald mean by this paragraph?
The puffing business has revived again
The “bar,” in “terse and elegant lan
guage,” expressed the “greatest satisfac
tion” with the “able, learned and indus
trious” judge. It is a game of “you tickle
me and I’il tickle you”—disgusting to wit
ness.
Is it not better for the bar and
bench to indulge in a little harmless
pleasantry rather than a deal of hurtful
vituperation ?
It is an old political axiom, that “the
“office should seek the man, and not the
“man the office.” The truth of the proposi
tion is indisputable. But, in practical poli
tics, any man who adopts it may sit for
years—like the great Idol of the Buddhists
—contemplating his own navel Baltimore
Gazette.
What a pity the great majority of
politicians do not imitate that Buddhist
idol and spare the people !
Republican Ideas. — In a recent
speech delivered in Boston, Mr. Wen
dell Phillips said : “I believe that,
so far as we have tried the experiment,
Republican institutions are a failure.”
Those institutions would have con
tinued a grand success, no doubt, had
Phillips, Garrison, Giddings, Sumner,
Greeley .Wilson, et id omne genus, died
of cholera infantum.
Hard Money.— We read that the
Philadelphia banks have very little
specie on hand. We copy the following
statement from their exhibits publish
ed on the first of the month in the
Press: Loans $52,000,000, circulation
$11,000,000, specie $167,000. They
ought to resume specie payments at
once, with such prodigious quantities
of gold and silver on hand.
Even So. —The Northern papers an
nounce that Commodore Vanderbilt is
buyiug up real estate hugely in Boston
and New York. Of course. Just such
men are profiting by the distress
bi'ought about by the threat and in
tention of resumption in 1879. The
big squeal has jiot commenced yet.
Wait a bit. •
Cotton Mills.— The Baltimore Sun,
treating of cotton manufacture in the
South, thinks that before twenty-five
years_ have passed away most of the
cotton mills will be found in the South,
beside the cotton fields, enjoying vir
tually a monopoly of the manufacture
of cotton in this country.
Slap-Dash.—An old-fashioned Demo
crat suggests a temporary resort to
the “Code,” in order to keep the politi
cal contestants in Maryland from
wholesale charges of “ theft,” “ liar,”
“hypocrite,” etc.
The truth is Joe Brown is with and for
his people; with and for his race; with and
for the party that is to rescue the republic
and redeem the liberties of the whole peo
ple next year.— Albany News.
The truth is Joe Brown believes in
the greatest good of the greatest num
ber—and that is number one.
