THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, July 29. 1875.
Duncan, Sherman A Co—ls the North
Financially Unsound ?
The failure of so staunch a house as
Duncan, Sherman & Cos., naturally leads
to a suspicion that many other great
firms are not so strong as the world is
iuclined to believe. The war against
the South and its “results’' have begun
to tell upon the States beyond us, and
it may be they are really to become the
greatest sufferers from their blundering
and criminal destruction of Southern
industry and social habits. The old
South filled the coffers of New Eng
land and New York. The new South
can hardly repeat that operation. Even
the Journal of Commerce admits that
“the metropolis has gone back during
the last ten years, in every form
of commercial activity.” This ca
lamity has been the inevitable
consequence of the infamous Recon
struction Acts, following upon the war
on this section, and we do not see how
Northern prosperity can be hoped for
so long as the party that imposed these
burdens is suffered to dominate, and so
long as the burdens themselves are per
mitted to remain. The New York Day
Book anxiously seeks a remedy for the
stagnation that exists and the wrath
that looms up menacingly in the fu
ture. To compass this, it proposes, not
only letting the South alone, but an
absolute surrender to her of the task
of mending her own affairs in her own
way, subject to no interference from
the Central Power. It says: “This
“ done, the North, New York City and
“ the balance of the country will be
“ gin to thrive. It is not ‘ money,’
“it is not ‘expansion,’ or ‘contrac
“ tion,’ that will restore the vitali
“ty of the country; other agen
“ cies beside a financial policy, ‘hard’
“ or ‘soft,’ ‘contracted issues,’ or ‘ex
“ panded issues,’ are needed, and the
“ principal one is the creation of more
“ Southern products at a less cost. —
“ This will enable the country to ex
“ port, This will restore the balance
“of trade in our favor. This will give
“ us specie from the Old World, instead
“ of, as now, the Oid World depleting
“us of the little specie we have. This
“ will put New York especially in a
“ state of activity. We shall ware
“ house, and handle, and insure, and
“ ship to Europe yearly, r.s of old, seve
“ ral hundred millions of Southern
“ products, and then, and not till then,
“ shall we be able to establish, on a
“ firm footing, ‘specie redemption of
“ our paper currency.’ Instead of this
“ latter measure introducing general
“ prosperity, general prosperity, as il
“ lustrated by the increased creation of
“ Southern wealth, can alone introduce
“ resumption of specie payments ; and
“ never, till we get this resumption of
“ Southern prosperity, shall we get the
“ permanent restoration of a sound
“ financial system in the United
“ States.”
The Day Book is right. Only by a
return to the Federal Principles of
States Rights, as opposed to Central
Despotism, shall the North ever hope
to recall, in some degree at least, the
splendid prosperity of the past. If
this shall not be done; if the false pride
of fanaticism can stay the march of
true deliverance, there will be many
more collapses like unto those of Jay
Cooke, Henry Clews and Duncan,
Sherman & Cos. The idealism of Re
publicanism, so-called, went down with
Charles Sumner; its progressive ma
terialism perished with Greeley;
its financial backbone broke with
Jay Cooke & Cos.; its theology sank
into ruin with paroxysmal Beecher ;
its glorification bids fair to go out with
Grant. With all these props stricken
from it, how miserably the old wreck
appears! If those men have only done
evil to the country at large, why shall
their theories survive for further
wretchedness? The salvation of the
North is mainly, under Providence, in
the hands of the masses who have
votes, and not in the keeping of politi
cians who would rule or ruin. Neces
sity is teaching and will continue to
teach our brethren beyond us a bitter
lesson. We of the South can patiently
await their determination, upon which
depends a recuperation of their indus
try or a general collapse. The issue is
before them. What will they do with
it?
True Independence—One Southern
State Comes to the Yau.
The Galveston, Texas, News says:
“No one who has been in the habit of
visiting the different wharves in our
harbor for any length of time can have
helped noticing in the past the immense
quantities of grain imported from the
Western States by way of New Orleans.
Thousands and tens of thousands of
dollars were annually drawn from the
inhabitants of Texas to pay for these
articles. Time have at last changed in
this respect. Texas not only now raises
enough grain for her own consumption,
but can spare some for her less for
tunate neighbors; and instead of seeing
the wharves of Galveston filled with
huge quantities of grain, imported
from abroad at immense cost, is now
hoard the shrill whistle of the locomo
tive as it draws loaded trains of grain
to vessels for export.”
Now, what Texas has done in the
way of emancipating herself from com
mercial thraldom, every other Southern
State can also do, to a greater or less
degree. We have almost lost heart in
dinning this self-sustaining idea into
the ears of our agricultural community,
but mayhap dire necessity will finally
accomplish what argument and per
puasion have vainly sought to bring
about.
Mistaken Zeal. —The Atlanta Her
ald, having alluded to the Washington
Chronicle as a paper of limited influ
ence, adds: “It is the organ of Bex
Butleb, Oliver P. Morton and Ulysses
S. Grant, and represents hardly any
body outside of this odious trinity.”
The Columbus Tmes reminds our
Atlanta confrere that that “trinity” has
a powerful and dangerous following,
and that the Chronicle is one of the
ablest, most formidable and widely
circulated organs in the country.
Keely Nowhere—Rapid Transit, and
No Mistake.
The legion of “doubting Thomases”
wagged their heads scornfully at the
possibilities of the Keely motor. A
certain Dr. Frye, of New York, has in
vited the Rapid Transit Commissioners
to inspect a device of his invention,
which, if practicable, will make steam
too slow for modern demands, and
even displace all other methods now in
projection. A correspondent of that
enterprising journal, the News and
Courier, states that Dr. Frye “proposes
to convey passengers by rail, with com
fort, economy and safety, at a maxi
mum speed, including stoppages, of
one hundred and forty miles an hour.
He wants to build a railroad on his sys
tem from New York to San Francisco,
and will guarantee that it will take but
fifteen hours to perform the journey.
At the same rate of transit travelers
can be taken from Charleston to New
York in three hours and a half. You
can start from the Northeastern depot
after breakfast, dine at Delmonico’s,
attend the matinee at Booth’s, and get
home comfortably before bed-time.
Think of it!”
The Metropolitan papers explain that
the ingenious Doctor contemplates the
“erection of a proper foundation for
his road, and to have an endlessly con
nected rolling gear of double or triple
bearing wheels, the lesser bearings
running on the rails and the upper
peripheries of the large bearings, car
rying an endlessly connected platform
carrier with passenger trains placed
equi-distaut every one-fourth of a mile,
more or less, apart. He proposes to
have the whole Inclosed and run
through a smoothly-celled, fire-proof
and perfectly ventilated endless com
partment. Stationary driving power
will be placed every four miles. The
ordinary running rate of speed will be
one hundred and forty miles per hour,
including thirteen stops. The motive
power of this arrangement is not men
tioned.”
The outside public will have to wait
patiently for a practical illustration of
the Keely-Frye methods. It is natural
that such projects should excite in
credulity, but men are still living who
hooted at the wonders of steam trans
portation. And so, it may be the part
of prudence to wait and see what we
shall see.
The Currency Question—How it Will
Affect the Presidential Election.
The United States Economist blames
Congress for not having settled the
financial problem, instead of throwing
it as an apple of discord among the
orators and so-called statesmen of dif
ferent sections. While it does not alto
gether regret that this should be so, it
does deplore the fact that there was
not wisdom and statesmanship enough
to settle this question in halls which
are supposed to contain,, at certain pe
riods of the year, the brains of the
country. The Economist thus con
cludes: “In France, which we pretend
“ to undervalue for her revolutions and
“ political storms, there is more practi
“ cal skill than can be claimed by the
“ whole American people. The miracle
“ of financial skill,which attracted back
“ to the Bank of France the gold under
“ the Indemnity, was devised in the
“ National Assembly. The difference
“ seems to be that in Franco the repre
“ sentatives are wiser than the people.
“ It would be an evil day should it be
“ demonstrated that the American peo
“ pie are superior to their rulers.
“ But the issue is one that cannot be
“ evaded or postponed. Ohio is, of
“ course, the central object of atten
“ tion, and is likely to prove the Wa
“ terloo of one or the other of the great
“ parties.”
Gordon. —The New York W orld
thinks General Gordon is not a states
man, and calls his attention to the fact
that “inflation,” so-called, is one of the
pet theories of Ben. Butler, Wendell
Phillips, John A. Logan and Oliver P.
Morton. It further says that “ if there
has been one measure aimed at the
“ credit and fortune of the South, if
“ there has been one attempt to im
“ poverish the South and keep it poor,
“ if there has been one effort to des
“ troy its resources, it has had its ori
“ gin in the brain of one of these men
“ and has been lustily supported by all
“ of them. Surely after its experience of
“ them the South might distrust these
“ people and the treacherous gifts they
“ bring. It is precisely here that Gen.
“ Gordon has gone astray. Thinking
“ fondly that these Radicals were aui
“ mated by a desire to repair in some
“ measure the injuries they have done
“ to the South, he has struck hands
“ with them. His sound sense may yet
“ extricate him from the dilemma into
“ which impulse has hurried him, but
“ he should recollect that in repairing
“ political errors as in giving, he does
“ twice that does quickly. The present
“ is the time when true patriots can
“ least afford to sacrifice principle and
" the public good to personal ambition
“ or temporary popularity.” How would
the World like its own argument retort
ed ? Are there no foes of the South in
favor of “hard money ?” We dare say
Gen. Gordon acts from honest convic
tion and, on a financial question, does
not stop to think who is with him or
against him.
Ethics.— The Washington Chronicle
declines a controversy with the Lynch
burg (Va.) News because the editor of
that paper has not exhibited a gentle
manly spirit. Well, that argument
does not hold good with the Constitu
tionalist, and we should be glad to
hear from the editor of the organ at
the Federal City on certain points re
cently submitted to him.
Well Put.—Republican papers affect the
satirical by calling Governor Allen, of
Ohio, “Old Fog Horn.” A fog horn is used
to warn mariners of impending danger.
Might it not also be a warning of danger
that menaces the ship of State?— N. Y. Her
ald.
True, O, King! If “old Bill” should
carry Ohio by a rousing majority, the
Democracy need not be perplexed for a
Presidential nomination.
Owen.— Poor Robert Dale Owen has
forgotten “ Katie King,” and now im
agines himself the heir of the Earldom
of Bbeadalbane.
As Others See Us—Northern Capital in
The South.
[St. Louis Republican.]
It is an universal belief in the Southern
States that the thing they most need is
capital. The people of those States
are incessantly telling the world about
their exhaustless stores of rudimentary
wealth, and of the marvelous facility with
which it can be worked up into actual,
available wealth; they have a great deal
to say about the amount of low middling
cotton at 14 cents a pound that can be
raised on an acre of their bottom lands,
and of the amount of wheat that can
be produced on their uplands; they
boast that this cotton can be manufactur
ed into yarns and cloth by means of
ample water-power in sight of the fields
where it is raised, far more cheaply
than it can be manufactured in New
England; they tell us—and they prove the
assertion—that pig iron can be made at
Birmingham, Alabama, at Chattanooga,
Tennessee, or at Rome Georgia, $8 a ton
cheaper than in Ohio and Pennsylvania;
they point with pardonable prido to the
fact that the cotton mills at Augusta, Geor
gia, and Granitevillo, South Carolina, are
working steadily along, and making good
profits through the present depression of
trade, while those of Massachusetts and
New Hampshire are running at half time,
and losing money at that, and they declare
that the mildness of their climate, and the
greater cheapness or raw materials, labor
and living with them demonstrate the
superior manufacturing advantages of their
region over the rigorous regions of the
Northeast, where the laborer's family have
to live on a winter footing half the year.
It is impossible to deny these statements,
and, indeed, nobody attempts to deny them;
the world admits them. Still, the capital
which the fascinating picture is intended
to invite, does not come. Boston money
clings to the granite ribs of New England,
and refuses to migrate to Georgia where it
can earn ten to fifteen per cent, more per
annum; every foot of Massachusetts water
power is harnessed to machinery, while
that of the Chattahoocheo and James run
to waste; and the iron-mongers of Penn
sylvania continue to buy ore at $8 a ton
and make it into iron at $24 a ton, instead
of going to Alabama where they can get
ore for $1 a ton and make it into iron at sl4
a ton. The people of the South have tried
again and again to understand this mys
tery, without success, and they seem to
have settled down into the belief that cap
ital, labor and trade in the North are too
blind to take advantage of the opportuni
ties that the South presents.
But the matter is not so difficult of com
prehension, after all. It is the people of
the South, not the capitalists of the North,
who do not appreciate theso boasted ad
vantages. If th-re are such superior fa
cilities for manufacturing in Georgia and
Virginia, why don’t the Georgians and Vir
ginians avail themselves of them ? If there
are fortunes to be made in cotton-spinning
in Tennessee, why don’t the Tennesseeans
make them instead of inviting somebody
else to come and get them ? It is the peo
ple of Alabama who ought to be making
cheap iron at Birmingham, and the people
of Tennessee who ought to bo making
cheap iron at Cha'tanooga and that vi
cinity.
The reply to this is that the people of the
South have not the capital. But why, then,
do not the people of the South go to work
and make capital? This incessant appeal
to foreign capital to come into the South is
like the prayer of the wagoner to Hercules
to come and lift his wheels out of the mud.
The strong god’s answer was that he
helped those only who helped themselves;
if the wagoner would put his own shoulder
to the wheel, Hercules would supply all
the power he lacked. This answer em
bodies the whole philosophy of the South
ern situation.
The South does not need capital as much
as it needs willing labor—and this it in
abundance. Capital is nothing but a con
crete form of labor, now dead, and a very
serviceable and efficient substitute for it is
living labor. This, united with indu try
and economy, in the midst of such favora
ble conditions as mild climate, cheap living
accessible materials and water-power, ac
cumulates capital, with surprising rapidi
ty. A man who earns SIOO a year more
than he spends, per annum, makes that
much capital every year; a hundred men
in a community, doing the same thing,
make SIO,OOO capital in a single year; and a
thousand men, working and saving at the
same rate, and investing their earnings,
would in seven years produce sl,ooo,ooo—a
sum large enough to start ten manufactur
ing f stablishments.
But it is said that the South has not
enough of either labor or capital. This is a
mistake. It cannot be said that there is a
deficiency of labor in a community as long
as there is any considerable number of
idlers in it, and it it is an undeniable fact
that there are a great many idlers in the
South, more, in fact, than in those regions
from which immigration is invited. There
are, proportionately, more unemployed
persons in Tennessee than in Connecticut.
Of the 425,000 males and females over ten
years of age in Connecticut, 193,000, or
nearly half, are engaged in some occupa
tion, 80,341 of them being engaged in me
chanical and manufacturing vocations,
while of the 890,000 males and females over
ten years of age in Tennessee, only 367,000
are engaged in occupation, and only 29,000
of these are employed in mechanical and
manufacturing vocations. Of the 412,065
females over ten years of age in Virginia,
only 75,000 are engaged in occupations, and
nearly ull these are colored females, while
of the 209,000 females over ten years of age
in Connecticut, 159,460 have occupations.
Those figures largely explain the abun
dance of capital in the New England States,
and the scarcity of it in the South. If the
South wants capital, it must work for it;
it must earn more than it spends, and in
vest the surplus year after year in manu
factures. If 5,000 idle persons in Tennes
see were to engago steadily and industri
ously in productive employment, it would
be worth more to the State than the in
vestment of $5,000,000 of Boston capital in
it. Besides, there is a magical sympathy
in labor that attracts its kind from all
quartern.
If the people of Tennessee were to help
themselves with all their might and main,
they would be surprised to find how many
others would come to help them; if all the
idle persons in that State were to go to
work, resolved to make their own capital,
thousands of intelligent laborers and mil
lions of vigilant capital would flow in upon
them, eager to seek employment and in
vestment in the midst of an industrious,
independent people, and to share in the
profits of cheap manufacturing. But as
long as the people of a Southern State in
vite somebody else to come and do the
work which they themselves will not do,
dig the ore which they will not dig, spin
the cotton which they will not spin, and
build the shops which they will not build,
so long will they fail of that power which
wealth alone can bring.
An Antidote.— The following pre
scription for the cure of drunkenness
is going the rounds : Sulphate of iron,
three grains ; peppermint water' eleven
drachms ; spirit of nutmeg, one drachm
—twice a day. The Scientific American
says this preparation acts as a stimu
lant and tonic, and partly supplies the
place of the accustomed liquor, and
prevents that absolute physical and
moral prostration that follows sudden
breaking from the use of stimulating
drinks.
