THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, July 28, 1875.
The Public Debt —Cau it Ever be
Paid?—The Sources of Prosperity
Dried Up by Radical Propaganda.
The New York Day Book calls atten
tion to the fact, so patent everywhere,
that business is depressed and many
of the working classes in a state of
misery and apprehension, if. not in re
volt. What is this curse hanging over
so enterprising a people and such a
naturally gifted land?
The answer comes back that the
United States owe, as a consequence of
a fanatical war upon the South and
her institutions, $2,300,000,000, and
that the chances of ever reducing this
debt to a minimum are getting more
gloomy every year. Now, as the Day
Book says, this is a mighty curse for
tho toiling milions who are to pay the
gold interest upon non-taxable bonds,
first to Europeans, and secondly to
Americans who are rapidly expatriat
ing themselves and squandering their
treasure abroad. It is asked by the same
energetic paper: ** What becomes of
tho money you pay these bondholders
the one hundred and forty millions a
year as interest? Do thoso men who
get this out or your bones and muscles
reinvest it in lines that imomote com
mercial, wealth-producing industry on
their own soil? Do wo seo the bond
holder, after his quarterly call upon
the United States Treasury for his in
terest, turn about ami foster the weak
and tottering manufactures ou his own
soil ? Do we see these soulless sharks
endeavoring to fuse life and vitality
into the very interests their exactions
of six per cent, are bleeding to death
yearly? Do we see these vampires
giving any nourishment to the poor
victims whose very life current they
are steadily sapping?” To which
pertinent questions the truthful answer
comes: “No! these bondholders give
“ back notiiing. They get their gold
“ and spend it iu Europe, leaving the
“ industries they are yearly weakening
“ at home to gradually perish out.
“ Time was, clear-headed and practical
“ reader, when you recognized the man
•' of wealth, the capitalist, identifying
'• himself with the productive indus
“ tries of his country. Their prosperi
“ty was his. Their adversity he also
“ suffered from, lie was a patriot. He
•* stood by iiis country and her great
• industrial institutions, because the
“ latter, well caved for, made the laud
“ great iu power au l glory. Impover
•• isbed nations are tae most disgraced
“ of all paupers. Tho people are slaves.
“ The poor are many, and the few rich
“ are the very meanest of despots.
“ Workingmen, we are fast merging
“ into that condition now. Your rich
“ bondholder has no sympathy with
“ you, and feels uotliiug Tor your strug
gles and woes. Hlj contract is ‘the
“ pound of your flesh.’ He takes the
“ interest yon have toiled out, and
“ lives abroad. He is a miserable soul
** less leech, who helps bleed his coun
“ try to death, and cares nothiug for
“ the consequences.*
Is it to be wondered at that, confront
ed by the experience of the hist four
years, the great masses of the couutry,
many of whom fought to destroy the
South and help bul.d up the faction
that now crushes them—ls it any won
der, we say, that these men, with bal
lots in their hands and poverty at their
firesides, are beginning to believe that
the war-cries were shams, and that
when they started out, ruining the
South and making negroes better than
white people, they began a work of
desolation that now strikes home, and,
freeing the negro, enslaved themselves
and their posterity ? Is it any wonder
that “patriotism,” so-called, is playing
out in many parts of the East and
West ? Is it at all likely that
the average capitalist wiil ex
change his uutaxed securities for stocks
in great enterprises which have to pay
a portion of the coir mon burden ? It
is true that much money has been lost
in wild-cat speculations by men who
might have iuvested iu Government
bonis ; but the fact romains that im
mense amounts of these securities are
held here and in Europe, and that, on a
bulk of thousands of millious, the
laboring classes are annually paying au
interest which does not return them
any profit. Bad as the war was and
prostrate as it left tho South, the bond
holders’ security would have been In
finitely better had there been no Re
constructlon and its attendant horrors.
It is a result of abominations, called
Constitutional Amerdmeuts, that la
this day making the rich men of the
North tremble, aud their apprehen
sions come, by reflex action—that is,
from their own people, who have been
beggared and made desperate by the
legislative war ou this section since j
1865.
After contrasting the relations be- i
tween labor and capital in Europe, and j
showing how euormo is would be the j
increase of real wealth in lands beyond i
the sea, if standing armies could be
abolished, the Day B<>ok pictures the
United States, North aud South, as
they were before Philijps, Garrison,
Seward, Lincoln, Sutner A Cos., precipi
tated the crisis aud killed the goose
that laid the golden eggs. We quote :
“The non-product ion of capital was
the glory of the Northern people, and |
lifted them far above the poor, igno- J
rant, stolid, robbed aud outraged peas- j
antry of the Old World. But in the |
South there was a total iy different state !
of things. Prior to the acquisition of J
Louisiana and openiug up of the great i
tropicoid region adapted to the specific
nature of negroes, their non-adapta- j
tion to the growth of cereals or other :
products of the temperate latitudes, j
negro labor scarcely sufficed to cover
the expense of feeding and clothing
these people. And confounding the j
presence of the negro with his relation
to the white man in the Middle and .
transition States, hence grew up the j
notion that ‘slavery/ as they called the
latter, was an evil. But with the aequi- j
sition of Louisiana and a vast tropicoid
region adapted to the negro, there be- j
that wonderful era of production
and prosperity which, from 1800 to ISO*),;
has no parallel in America, if indeed in !
other land in the world’s his- j
tory. The negro, though. working
several hours lees thau tho Eu
ropean laborer, consumed oven less,
not because the "owner of the laud
wanted largo profits, but Because
he needed so little, for while millions of
people in tho Old World suffer for food
aud clothing, it is certain that, among
all these four millions of so-called
slaves, no one ever suffered for food or
want of fitting clothing. The planter
also, like our Northern farmor, lived a
simplo and frugal life, and the large
margin of profits went into the hands
of the merchant and mechanic of the
North, who furnished the supplies and
fabricated the materials used on the
Southern plantations. But while this
negro labor, thus in its primary form
and in contrast with the Northern con
sumption of production, furnished an
nually a large surplus or capital, a
much larger source of public wealth
came from commerce, and that mag
nificent foreign trade that grew out
of tho exchanges of Southorn pro
duct with the Old World, and which
was mainly realized to the North. Aud
this mighty commerce was all based
on Southern production, for the North
ern and Western States, being on the
same lines of latitude, never have been,
nor never can have anything to sell
that Europe wants, and the small af
fair of occasional failures of crops iu
Western Europe forms no basis for
commerce in these days. It is only trop
ical and tropicoid products that the
OUI World needs, and as we absolutely
monopolized the greatest of them (cot
ton), the progress to national wealth
and prosperity, from 1800 to 1860, not
only had no parallel, but had not the
country, or rather the people,
gone mad, and for over fifteen
years done their utmost to ruiu them
selves, long ere this we should have
surpassed even England, aud controll
ed the commerce of the world. But
alas! —au “idea” got possession of
men’s minds that negro labor was an
evil, anil a great party got possession
of the government to abolish this fan
cied evil, but in fact the main source
of the national wealth and prosperity !
English statesmen— Pitt, Willberforce
Stanley and others—said to them
selves “Let us get up a cry against
negro labor by calling it slave labor.
With our vast East India possessions
aud two hundred millions of Mongols,
we can well afford to scuttle our West
India Islands for its influence ou
America, aud if our agents and tools
cau lead them to the destruetlou of ne
gro labor, we shall monopolize tropical
production, and with it the commerce or
the world.” Such was the policy of
British statesmen, as boldly announced
by the late Lord Aberdeen, and most
fatally has it succeeded. Not only were
a million of lives sacrificed, but proba
bly half of the realized wealth of the
couutry, to abolish negro labor, and,
maddest madness this world ever saw
or ever will see in any coming time, a
thousand millions have been expended
since the war to prevent the Southern
people from utilizing iu any degree the
negro capactity to labor! Of course
the poor, blind and besotted creatures
fanny, with their “idea” of a colored
or black -white man, that the negro,
left to himself, will labor as white men
do; but Ills organization as utterly for
bids this as it does any other attribute of
the white man. With the pressure of im
mediate necessity lie works, of course,
as children do, but God has not adapt
ed, and therefore has not destined him,
for any such purpose. Now, the census
returns of 1800 showed seventeen thou
sand millious of accumulations since
the landing at Jamestown and Ply
j mouth—more than two-thirds, indeed,
| nearly three-fourths of which came, di
ll reetly and indirectly, from uegro labor,
' and with half of this used up iu the
| war to abolish that main source of
j American prosperity, aud a thousand
! millions expended siuee for “recon
! struction”—that is, to prevent any sur
• plus at the South —what is the ehauee
of paying the bonds, or even the inter
est on the bonds, by the laborers of the
North ? Of course, to have any surplus
at all, the Northern produeiug classes
must do as they do iu Eugland and
Germany. Men and womeu must both
work iu the fields say fifteen hours per
day, live ou black bread, aud meatonee
a week, with the coarsest and cheapest
clothing ; but even then, can they com
pete iu the growth of the same pro
ducts, and really create sufficient sur
plus to pay the interest of the foreign
bondholder? The South is dead, or
dying; it eauuot produce a dollar ; it
is necessarily getting poorer every
year as the negro loses the habit of
labor ; there can never be any restora
tion of commerce without that labor,
and therefore the sole and only possi
ble source of a surplus for the foreign i
bondholder is the plain, simple, j
straight-out, hard-handed, sweat and I
toil of the working meu aud women of j
the North ; aud we again ask, if it be i
possible for them, even with the hard
life aud misery of the Europeau labor- ,
er, to compete in the same products,
and furnish sufficient surplus to pay i
the iuterest ou the bonds ?”
The picture thus paiuted by the Day
Book in the above quotations is equal
iu austere majesty to that sombre car
toon and Michael Angelo’s which is de
seriptive of the “Final Judgment.” It
is not the imagination of an artist but
a dreadful realism. Because it is so
significantly true, and so powerfully
drawn, we have, contrary to our usual
custom, exhausted much space, but
trust that its length will not ex
haust the reader. We have gone into
details, too, for the purpose of show
iug what thoughts are stirriug in
the minds of men at the East and
aud why there has been such a
tremendous upheaval against the Rad
ical party. It may also serve to ex
plain much of the mystery attached to
“bridging the bloody chasm." In point
of fact, the war was a gigantic blunder
for the North especially, but of all the
crimes and follies the world ever saw in
diplomacy the Reconstruction Acts were
the most utterly besotted and suicidal.
Well do the leaders of the Republican
party realize that fact, but they hate
to confess it. Nevertheless, the people
are finding it out for themselves, and
if the bondholder desires to escape the
wrath to come and save his plunder,
from the very masses he forced into
war, wounds aud subsequent misery,
he hail better bestir himself to do jus
tice to the South, build up her indus
tries, heal her bruises, respect her
rights and contribute to her resuscita
tion every way. Rather than, from
false pride, acknowledge their crimes
and blunders, attempts are even now
being made to maintain their position
by ruthlessly destroying the principles
of the Federation as taught by the
Fathers, aud thereby riveting the chains
of a consolidated, centralized empire
upon white aud black alike. They are
making immense efforts to succeed, but
there is a dangerous aspect of even
their own masses which may make
them have a wholesome fear lest, in
hazarding all upon such a perilous (lie,
they may lose all, and lose it, too, with
a crash and collapse that shall shake
tho world.
Pro and Con. —While tho Baltimore
Gazette believes and liope3 that Allen
will be defeatod inOliio. inconsequence
of the greenback platform, the Cinciu
nati Enquirer gives seventeen reasons
why ho will be victorious, chief among
which is the stand taken ou the curren
cy question. The Nashville Union and
American furnishes the true reason
why Radicalism is going to wreck. It
says : “ The silent mines and mills ;
the acres that God bountifully blesses,
but that bring no dividends to the
owners ; the unpaid claims of every
unpaid merchant are eloquently plead
ing for the Democratic cause. Hard
times will aud ougiit to beat auy party
that is responsible far them.”
Nordhoff,— The Herald correspon
dent has “doue” North Carolina. He
represents that State us at peace ; party
feeling is dying out; the Civil Rights
bill has almost broken up the party.
Mr. Nordhoff thinks tho Democracy
made a mistake in calling a conven
tion. At the same time he admits that
one more good beating bestowed upon
the Republican party of the State will
finish the job far that organization.
The smarter eolored men attribute the
ruin of Radicalism to the Civil Rights
bill. That cooked the goose. It es
tablished a color liue, and the weaker
aide went to the wall, as it always does
in race issues.
Massachusetts. —Advices from Mas
sachusetts state that the Republican
party there is demoralized and shaky.
The question now asked is: “What
shall we do to be saved ?” Butler aud
Wendell Phillips think “inflation aud
greenbacks” will be the winning card.
But the bondholders aud capitalists
look ou this proposition with horror,
and so “the party of great moral ideas”
is iu a terribly bad way.
Profitable. —Aud now it is said that
the forty-eight national banks of New
York, which have a capital of $68,500,-
000, repoit to the Comptroller of the
Currency, for the fiscal year ending
; June 30, 1875, profits amounting to the
enormous aggregate of $33,606,800.
Virginia.
[Nashville Union and American.)
That n trtbuto to Vir
ginia with which James Russell Lowell
closes his centennial poem, read at the
celebration of the hundredth anniver
sary of Washington’s taking command
of the Continental army at Cambridge,
Mass.; and his allusion to the restora
tion of fraternal feeling between the
North and South, will thrill the hearts
of men long after the eloquent out
bursts of oratory at Bunker Hill aud
elsewhere have been forgotten. It is
as follows:
Virginia gave us this imperial man
ast iu the mighty mold
Of those iiigh-s:aimed ages old
Which Into grander forms our mortal metal
ran;
She gave us this unblemished gentleman;
What shall we give her back out love and
praise
As in the dear old unestranged days
Before the inevitable wrong began?

Thou gavest us a country, giving him,
And we owe alway what we owed thee then;

With influence to outlast the present whim
And blind u > as when here he knit our gold

All of him that was subject to the hours
Lies iu thy soil aud makes it part of ours;
Across more recent graves,
Where uureseutful nature waves
Her pennons o’er the shot-plowed sod,
Proclaiming the sweet iTuue of God,
We from this consecrated plain stretch out
Our hands, as free from afterthought or
doubt
As here the united North
Poured her embrowned manhood forth
in welcome of our savior and thy son.
Through the battle we have better learned
thy worth.

A HeroGone—The Champion Jackass.
(Cincinnati Gazette.)
The heroic little jackass who twice
i repulsed a raging lioness in single com
bat at the Zoological Garden on the
•24th of last March died yesterday of the
wounds received in that encounter.
This little jackass vindicated his race
from the injustice of the literary similes
of ail ages. In classical literature the
royal family of the lion looks upon the
ass with coutempt, and wit found a
ridiculous humor in the notion of the
ass as a fighting animal.
But this lioness was excited to fierce
rage by the sight of the little jackass.
She bounded through the bars of her
cage, aud with her ponderous jaws
seized the jackass by the flank. With
great self-possession he reached for the
back of the lioness with his teeth, and
gave her such a grip that she was glad
to let go and sliuk away.
After such a royal' encounter the
jackass was in no mood to be seized
agaiu by the baiter. Iu evading the
pinsuit of the anxious attendants, the
jackass again came iu the vicinity of
the lioness, when she bounded for him
again, and he met her with his heels,
and sent her roliiug down a gully.
But her first assault upon him, when
unsuspecting, wounded him cruelly,
and after this long liogeriug he expired
yesterday, and has gone where the
good asses go. He vindicated his race
from the ridiculous traditions or all
ages, and showed that honest industry
may be combined with heroic courage. ;
The Zoological Society should preserve
his inanimate form, as it has that of
tho as a memento of a famous
battle.
A hint for high churchmen. You can
go over to Rome now from Eugland by
express.
