THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1875.
SOUTHERN ELOQUENCE IN CON
GKESS
The last letter written by our accom
plished Washington, D. C. correspon
dent has been widely copied and highly
complimented, as it so richly deserved
to be. The writer had unusual oppor
tunities of watching and studying the
great Congressional drama, and he
likewise possessed the ability and good
sense to treasure up that knowledge
and present it most forcibly to the pub
lic. We are glad to see that his words
of wisdom and warning have fallen, in
many|places, upon fruitful soil. Re
producing the letter referred to, as a
genuine and much-needed contribution
to a true appreciation of the political
status, the editor of the Washington,
Wilkes county, Gazette makes it the
text of an editorial article which is so
well conceived intellectually, and so ad
mirably delivered in print that we copy
<it conspicuously:
There is, says the wise Solomon, “ a
time for every purpose under heaven; a time
to keep silence and a time to speak.” Had
all the members of Congress from the
South, or, better still, had each and every
Senator and Representative of the Demo
cratic party taken heed to these words of
wisdom and kept absolute silence during
the last session of Congress so far as all
political questions were concerned, much
more good would have resulted than will
come of all the brilliant, glowing language
that has been uttered. During that session
was the time of all times to keep silent. It
'was a time, we know, when it was most
difficult to sit with closed lips and silent
tongue. There were so many splendid op
portunities for speech making, and it did
seem to the casual observer, or to the in.
experienced statesman, that it was the
time to speak, the time when something
should be said in behalf of an oppressed
people and a violated constitution. But the
old, wise and experienced statesmen
thought differently and held their peace.
The Radical party had gone to a point
where it was confused, bewildered, and
saw only ruin and defeat ahead of it. The
people were becoming aroused and alive to
the danger their liberties were in. A gen
uine sympathy was being awakened in fa
vor of the suffering whites of the South,
and Louisiana, chained and bleeding, was
far more eloquent than anything which
could be said by our members of Congress.
A great and sudden revulsion of feeling
had taken place, and the people would have
demanded a restoration of the liberties of
all the States, had our friends simply held
their peace and been silent. The Radical
party would have been at a loss what to
do or what to say had silence onj our part
been observed. But it could not be so.
The people of the South demanded of their
Senators and Representatives that they
should speak out, that they rise up and
protest against the acts of tyrants. And
some did speak, and spoke most eloquent
ly, most beautifully, most nobly. Butin
what has it all resulted ? Only in giving
the opposition texts for speeches just as
eloquent and far more effective for ill than
all theirs for good.
The great fault, the great defect, the
wonderful and astonishing want of tact
and wisdom displayed in the speeches of
the Democratic members of Congress in
one respect is singular indeeu. If they
will speak, they should aim to speak
against the true, genuine evils from which
we are suffering. They should speak to
some purpose, and try not only to do good,
but especially.to do no harm. In all the
speeches little notice is taken of the real
trouble, little is said of the infamous laws
under which we are living, but tirades of
abuse and vindication are poured out
against the individuals, the instruments
who simply execute and carry out those
laws. If our statesmen would devote their
talents and influence; and eloquence to
showing the great danger there is in the
Reconstruction ac:s, and in striving to
have them repealed, some good might
and certainly no harm could be done.
But all the eloquence is expended in
' personal abuse of Grant, Sheridan, and
those who carry out the laws as they stand
on the statutes. Grant, Sheridan and
other Radical leaders may be the vilest
creatures on earth. It does no good to
waste time in abusing them. If it were
not for the laws which are now in force, it
matters not how vile or vindictive or ma
licious they might be, they could not harm
the humblest citizen under the protection
of any State in this Union. And if they
were the purest and.best men on earth, we
would still suffer with these laws in force,
provided they were executed. This per
sonal abuse cannot possibly do good, it
certainly does great harm. It is the weak
est statesmanship. It is no statesmanship
whatever, and he is no [statesman who
overlooks and ignores great questions and
descends to personal abuse of his oppo
nents. *
Of course we do not expect such sen
timents as the above to be applauded
by a large number of persons who re
gard matters from a different stand
point. We trust, however, that they
will not have bitter cause to remember
them, in the future, as prophetic of a
defeat which could have been a blessing
and a triumph.
THE NEW POSTAL LAW.
We do not know by what means the
new postal law was passed by Congress,
but the hardship of it to the public is
very palpable. It may be that the
disadvantages will eventually prove
not so grievous as they now appear;
but nothing short of actual experience
can convince the public that they have
not been harshly dealt with, for the sake
of helping a common carrier, the Ex
press Company, which is the rival of the
Post Office. The Journal of Commerce
thinks the politicians will suffer by it,
a3 a practical embargo is put upon
their distribution of “ thunder” through
the mail, and that it is the deadliest
blow to the book trade, and therefore
to the comfort and convenience of mil
lions of readers, ever devised by men
who assume to be the “assembled wis
dom of the nation.”
Ail of this looks plausible enough,
and has the appearance of egregious
folly on the part of Congress, as well as
the infliction of a detestable burden,
without profit to the Government, on
the communities of every State. A
publication of the yeas and nays on
this measure w r ould be edifying, just to
see how many Democrats and Repub
licans are recorded on either side.
Free Trade. —The New York Ex
press declares that the tariff is a fail
ure, and clamors, very properly, for an
experiment in free trade. One thing is
very certain : The United States, with
such advantages as no new country
ever possessed, are falling into com
mercial ruin, while “ the old effete
monarchies of Europe” are draining
us of gold and trade.
CAPITAL, CREDIT 'AND TRADE.
The recent great failures in Europe
and America have started the political
economists to furnishing reasons for
such disaster. The Financial Chroni
cle attributes these reverses to the
rates of interest, especially in Great
Britain, and to the advantages gained
in incomes by borrowed capital. The
case is thus illustrated :
If a merchant have 50,000 pounds, all his
own—to gain 10 per cent, on it he must
make 5,000 pounds a year, and mu3t charge
tor his goods accordingly; but if another
has only 10,000 pounds, and borrows 40,000
pounds by discounts (no extreme instance
in our modern trade), he has the same capi
tal of 50,000 pounds to use, and can sell
much cheaper. If the rate at which he
borrows be 5 per cent., he will have to pay
2,000 pounds a year; and if, like the old
trader, he make 5,000 pounds a year, he will
still, after paying his interest, obtain 3,000
pounds a year, or 30 per cent., on his own
10,000 pounds. As most merchants are con
tent with much less than 30 per cent., he
will be able if he wishes to forego some of
that profit to lower the price of the com
modity, and drive the old-fashioned trader
—the man who trades on his own capital
out of the market. In modern English busi
ness, owing to the certainty of obtaining
loans on discount of bills, or otherwise, at
a moderate rate of interest, there is a steady
bounty on trading with borrowed capital,
and a constant discouragement to confine
yourself solsly or mainly to your own
capital.
According to this showing, the mer
chant who’ would pursue an old-fash
ioned, honest course is pretty sure to
be driven to the wall by the dashing
speculator. The present course of
trade seems to be that of putting a
premium upon gambling. Luckily, the
true laws of commerce can no more be
violated with impunity than the laws
of Providence, and he who builds his
tower the highest of Babel brick usu
ally falls the further and the more
fatally in consequence.
