T.im CONSTITUTIONALIST
SUNDAY, August S, 1875.
Party Platforms—Judge Thurman’s
Speech—The Nub of the Matter.
Politicians may discuss the money
question with all manner of subtile dia
lectics, but there is one thing omnipres
ent with the people everywhere, and
that is poverty and ruin, to a greater
or less extent. Orators may quote
Mill, Ricardo and Adam Smith till the
crack of doom; but the plain and sim
ple fact remains that trade languishes
and, outside of a comparatively few
capitalists and monopolists, nobody is
doing a thriving business and the pros
pect ahead is of the most unflattering
description. Now a people thus situ
ated in this Republic inevitably come
to one conclusion, and that Is the re
sponsible cause of disaster must be the
party in power. In coming to this con
clusion, the masses may argue from
instinct, but, whether they do or not, a
more logical deduction can not be
made; and all the sophistry of Repub
lican speakers will never wipe it out.
Under such provocation, it needs no
prophet to come from the grave to pre
dict that, unless the voters of the land
are sunk into abject servitude, they
will make a clean sweep at the polls of
those factionists who, in the sacred
name of Union, Constitution, old flag,
universal freedom, etc, have brought
the United States to the verge of des
pair, commercially and morally.
Of course, Senator Thurman felt some
obligation to go into the metaphysics
of the Ohio Platform, but he did not
hesitate to poke merciless fun at that
convenient jugglery of the wire-pullers.
It is said that when Dean Richmond
used to run the Democracy of New
York, after “fixing” things—settling all
that was to be done—he used to say,
varying the phrase, but not the mean
ing : “Now, Cassidy, get up some
damned thing or other for a platform!”
Matters have not mended much in
that respect since Dean Richmond’s day.
We have the same thing in a now fash
ion. The credulous voter may not ob
serve the legerdemain, but it is there all
the same ; and, as a general rule, the as
sertion of the Freeman's Journal is true,
that “the platform of a modern politi
cal party has no more to do with its
purpose, or its consequences, than a
monkey-show held simultaneously with
a Convention.” The same paper, with
hearty frankness, tears away the rheto
rical flourish of speeches on the situa
tion, and puts the case squarely thus :
There are questions of political import
ance prior to dollars and cents. In this,
also, we agree with Mr. Thurman. He is in
favor of free trade. Here, again, we agree
with him. The paralysis on domestic in
dustry is far less due to a false monetary
system than to the odious system of “pro
tecting” the makers of hats and caps, of
shirts and undershirts, of coats and jack
ets, and pantaloons, of shoes and socks, of
soap and towels, of everything that people
neod to use and to wear. I his “protective”
system has become so oppressive on the
laborirg classes—the “bone and sinew” of
the public—that these laboring classes, in
the prime of their days, are fleeing out of
the land ! The records of our steamships
show that these organs of public health are
fleeing out of the United States! It is,
above all other causes, “protection” for
manufacturers that is rendering it impossi
ble for honest and thrifty people to live
among us.
The idea is that trade in the United
States has been sickened almost to
death with “protection,” and that it
never will be healthy until it shall have
become emancipated from the shackles
of New England and Middle State
policy. In the hope of a revival of
commerce the Democracy propose that
the barriers of protection shall be
broken down ; that the money the Re
publican party instituted to make war
on the South shall be receivable for
Customs dues; that the bondholders
shall be taxed like everybody else and
receive their interest in the same cur
rency they paid for their securities. In
other words, despairing of specie pay
ments, the greenback shall be made as
good as gold, in this country at least, if
no where else, The people know very
well that a return to specie payments,
in the near future, is as Gov. Allen
called it “a barren ideality.” If, how
ever, resumption should actually be
attempted, without any specie to re
sume with, we agree with the New
York journal quoted above, that this
madness “may be in the kind way of
Providence to prepare our country
men, by abundance of misery, to think
of a better world !”
The Devil. —The New York World’s
London correspondent outlines the
controversy now going on in the
Episcopal Church as to the exist
ence of a personal Devil. It would
be very comfortable for many per
sons if the Evil One could be argu
ed out of existence ; but when we look
around and behold the almost super
natural wickedness of the world, it
would seem that not only does the
Devil exist, but that he sometimes gets
on a general rampage and, forsaking
the bodies of swine, makes his pig-sty
in the hearts and souls of men and wo
men. It is easy enough to laugh the
Devd out of Court; but he has a most
provoking way of returning to his mut
tons and capturing those who bet him
their heads.
Going West.— Referring to a state
ment that quite a number of young
men, sons of respectable and wealthy
families in Baltimore, were gaining
livings in the West by driving ice carts,
peddling prize candy, guiding stran
gers to Pike’s Peak, repairing railway
tracks, etc., etc., the Nashville Union
and American puugently says:
After all, is it not more healthy and
manly to drive an ice cart or work on the
railroad, than fritter away youth and
strength in city dissipation at the expense
of the old folks? If young men are too
proud to work where they are known, it is
better, for their own sake, that they seek
some place where no such false notions
will restrain their native energies.
Amen! and Amen !
m
A Magic Word.— The reportorial
corps of the Portsmouth and Norfolk
papers, when treating of the 3rd Geor
gia reunion, make extensive use of the
word “ refreshment.” We dare say it
means soft crabs and iced lemonade.
The Duke of Sutherland and his Latest
Hobby—Basket Burial as an Aid to
Domestic Economy.
The Duke of Sutherland is known in
England as a very positive individual
and an advanced reformer. He has,
with his high rank, enormous wealth,
and determined intellect, made himself
felt for many years among the slow
coaches of the United Kingdom. His
former hobbies are said to have been
locomotives, steam fire-engines, dis
honest servants and extravagant shop
keepers. We judge from all accounts,
that he did not grow enthusiastic on
these subjects without accomplishing
his main design; and when he now
steps forward as the patron of Mr.
Seymour Hayden and his basket coffin,
it is safe to declare that the expensive
paraphernalia necessary to conduct a
dead man to the grave cannot keep the
field without a gigantic struggle. If a
Duke of Sutherland can consent to be
buried, when his last hour has come,
in a willow casket, why should not a
pauper do the same? Indeed, there
are many reasons why the pauper
should be willing to do so, whether His
Grace favored it or not.
These new fangled affairs are thus
described:
1. The mesche in most of them should be
larger than it is, and as open as is consis
tent with strength and the perfect reten
tion of their contents ; which contents,
again, should consist of the larger ferns,
mosses, lichens, herbs, fragrant shrubs,
and any of the conifer®, willows, or ever
greens which are always to be had.
2. The osiers composing the baskets
should be light (two thin ones being better
than one thic k one), and no more solid
wood should enter into their construction
than is necessary to preserve their form.
3. They should be of white or stained
willow, without varnish or other preserva
tive covering.
I. Accompanying each of them should be
a narrow leaden band < r ribbon, pierced
with name and date of death, to be passed
round the chest and lower limbs, and
through tho sides and over the top of the
basket: (I.) For retaining the body in its
position; (II.) For the subsequent identifi
cation of the bones; (III.) For sealing the
coffin, as a guarantee that the contents
have not been disturbed.
5. In special cases linings of some im
perishable material for a few inches up
ward from the bottom will be necessary;
and in other cases such modifications of
the ordinary form as may insure a com
plete inclusion of the body in wool, char
coal, or other disinfection.
Now why any reasonable mortal
should object to this very comfortable
mode of interment, we do not see, unless
prejudice and custom are stronger with
most of us than good sense. It is said
that many of the English ladies are de
lighted with tho basket, especially as
there exists so convenient and grace
ful a chance for the display of flowers.
Now if it be best for the body to re
turn to its original elements as soon as
possible, the basket coffiu effects this
admirably. As little gloom as possible
should accompany a funeral and the bas
ket coffin may be smothered with roses.
But the main point is that of cheapness,
and right there, to the very poor and
very proud, the whole matter ought to
hinge.
Of course, no such reform as this
ceuld be brought about, or even at
tempted, without antagonism in cerlain
quarters, and so, we learn from the
Chicago Tribune, that “the inexpensive
“ character of the baskets in point of
“ fact has aroused the indignation of
“ the London undertakers to such a
“ pitch that they have held public
“ meetings in that city to protest
“ against the new reform, which, of
“ course, only makes the Duke of
“ Sutherland all the more zealous, as
“ there is nothing which rouses him
“ like opposition. In this direction, at
“ least, he is on the right track, and
“ will have the sympathies of the liv
“ ing every were in any effort to reduce
“ the cost of funeral expenses, which
“ have now grown to be so enormous
“ that it costs more to die than it does
“ to be born or to get married.”
A recent letter from Col. Donn Piatt
to his Washington paper may throw
some light on this old style opposition
to the Duke of Sutherland’s project.
He says:
When John Bull grieves he turns his
attention to it. What a inass of gloom is
gathered in and about the hearse, with its
black horses and nodding plumes of woe.
Query: Did not our call of “whoa” to
horses come from that exclamation of
grief? There is wood enough in that hearse
to build a respectable house. Grief being
heavy, the vehicle must correspond; and
all is black as the hinges of midnight. Af
ter follow, slowly moving along, the mourn
ing coaches, all heavy and black. The driv
ers are pieces cut from a starless midnight.
Their very faces are and irk, being dirty, and,
looking neither to the right nor the loft,
seem to say, “The party within is an emi
nently respectable party; we are carrying
him into tho presence of his Maker in the
most respectable manner; the angel of
death must approve of this funeral; if the
angel of death don’t approve of this fune
ral his taste cannot be counted on.” At tho
side walk the hired mourno s. They have
long streamers hanging from their high
hats, and, dressed in swallow-tails, each
carries his left hand under said tail, hold
ing it out as if to cool his grief. This is a
part of the business. The eminently re
spectable corpse is cold; the mourners,
therefore, being employed to mourn, keep
themselves as cool as possible, so as to cor
respond.
And so the eminently respectable defunct,
with his imposing cortege, moves on out of
sight, and the great world goes roaring
along. And here is a procession quite as
impressive as the funeral. A gaunt, hun
gry-looking man, carries a rude banner on
a pole; on it. in rough black letters, is
printe 1 “Out of Workwhile live children
in rags follow, each with a placard on its
breast, with the one touching word thereon
af “Mot herless.”
“Bah!” snorts Bullion, “he’s an imposter;
the children are hired for the occasion;
that’s an old dodge.”
It is high time that these costly “old
dodges” and solemn mockeries were
gotten rid of. For our part, we ap
prove the noble Duke’s crusade, and,
as by the new process of making glass
infrangible, people may be better able
to stone one another, so we hope that
the hitherto slang phrase of “going to
heaven in a hand basket” may really
convey a satisfactory truth.
Telegraphic. —lt is said that Jay
Gould is working to control the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. Per
haps matters will mend if he should
succeed. The Atlanta Constitution thinks
something should be done in the way
of reform. Mayhap, Gould is the com
ing Napoleon of press dispatches.
Beecher.— Rev. Dr. Rice, of the Pres
byterian Church, now a venerable man
of 70 years of age, was recently inter
viewed by a reporter on a variety of
subjects. Touching the Beecher scan
dal, the following dialogue occurred:
“Well,” said I, “Doctor, coming down to
things of a more sensational character,
what do you think of Beecher ?”
“He has come to just what I expected.
His style of pleaching will not do; there is
too much humanity and not enough gos
pel in it. I believe his whole church is rot
ten—a perfect den of moral pollution.”
“But what do you think of his guilt or
innocence ?”
“ Oh, well, I would not like to say. He
may be innocent of the crime charged, but
after all, making every allowance possible
in his favor, he has done a great many
wrong things—things not to be tolerated
in a minister of the gospel. He was a loose
man, and Mrs. Woodhull knew it, or she
never would have dared to ask him to pre
side at her lecture. His confessed conduct
with Mrs. Tilton was wholly improper
and unbecoming. He led her into trouble
when he knew it. He knew she had an im
proper affection for him and did not re
prove it, but encouraged it. This was
enough. He knew it would bring
ruin to Tilton’s family. I have no con
fidence in Beecher. I believe he is nothing
but a theological adventurer with enough
body and brains to make him popular.”
Dr. Rice was long considered the ri
val of the great Alexander Campbell.
He is well characterized as “one of the
good and pure men of the earth—one
against whom no breath of slander
ever came, and one from whose lips
thousands have learned lessons of
rarest wisdom.”
John. — It is estimated that there are
now exceeding 100,000 Chinese in the
United States and “the cry is still they
come.” Anticipating a tidal wave emi
gration of these almond-eyed Celestials
the New York World says : “What shall
we do with them ? If they can be turn
ed to advantage as domestic servants
their coming will be hailed as a blessing.
But that will dispose of only a portion
of them. Tho greater portion will en
ter into competition with our present
working-class as farm laborers, me
chanics and factory hands. They are
able to live cheaper and therefore to
work cheaper than the others, and thus
we are to be confronted in reality with
the problem about which there has been
so much theorizing during the past de
cade.” We venture to say that the
time is very remote when John China
man will plague any body beyond the
Pacific coast.
Nellie’s Baby.— One of the prettiest
incidents connected with Gen. Grant’s
grandson is the reply of the wife of the
President to a guest who asked her why
Sartoris, Jr., had not opened his eyes
in the Executive Mansion. Mrs. Grant
sai l : “It is so much healthier for Nel
lie here (Long Branch), where the air
is fresh and the breezes cool, and we
weren’t going to risk our daughter in
the heat and excitement at Washing
ton for the mere privilege of having a
grandson born in the White House.”
Motherly and sensible. The Presi
dent will leave office with many ene
mies, but his wife will win the hearts of
all good people.
Massachusetts “ Kirkwoods.” —The
Boston Journal nominates the following
ticket;
For Governor Charles Francis
Adams, Ind.
For Secretary of State— John Quincy
Adams, Dem.
For Treasurer— Charles Francis
Adams, Jr., Rep.
For Auditor— Henry Adams, Ind.
For Attorney General— Brooks Adams,
Rep.
The Courier-Journal says this is an
excellent ticket, but it would be stron
ger if the Adamses were more largely
represented upon it.
Lord and Master.
In joy of inward peace, or sense
Of sorrow over sin,
He is his own best evidence;
His witness is within.
No fable old, nor mythic lore,
Nor dream of bards and seers;
No dead fact strained on the shore
Of the oblivious years;
But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is He;
And laith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
O Lord and Master of us all!
What’er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,
We test our lives by Thine.
O Love! O Life! our faith and sight
Thy presence maketh one:
As through transfigured clouds of white
We trace the noonday sun.
So to our mortal eyes subdued,
Flesh veiled, but not concealed,
For know in this tho Fatherhood,
And heart of God revealed.
We faintly hear, we dimly see.
In differing phrase we pray;
But dim or clear, we own in Thee
The Light, the Truth, the Way!
Apart from Thee all gain is loss,
And labor vainly gone;
The solemn shadow of Thy Cross
Alone, O Love ineffable!
Thy saving name is given;
To turn aside from Thee Is hell.
To walk with Thee is heaven!
Merchant Marine of the World. —A
paper was recently read before the Lon
don Statistical Society giving the num
ber and tonnage of the merchant steam
ers and sailing vessels of all nations in
1870 and 1874. The number of sailing
vessels in 1870 was 59,918 —tonnage 16,-
042,498; in 1874 the number was 52,289
—tonnage 14,523,630. The number of
steamers in 1870 was 4,l32—tonnage 2,-
793,432; in 1874 the number was 5,365 —
tonnage 5,226,888. From which it will
be seen that the number of sailing ves
sels throughout the world has decreas
ed, and that there is a very large in
crease in steamers, the latter being
nearly ninety per cent, and the former
about ten per cent. At this ratio of in
crease there would be in 1880 more
steam than sail tonnage afloat. The
total tonnage of the great nations indi
cate their relative rank as follows:
First, Great Britain; second, the United
States; third, Sweden and Norway;
fourth, Italy; fifth, Germany; sixth,
France.
Judge Knapp, of New Jersey, in a re
cent case of murder before him, refused
to debar the jurors from reading the
daily papers. He was, very likely, alto
gether safe. The average juryman has
no other use for a daily paper than
wrapping it around his lunch.—Mitivau
kee Sentinel.
When tho leading New York papers
devote ten columns and a map apiece to
a college regatta, and only two columns
to a college commencement, there is not
much inducement for boys to sit up
half the night puzzling their brains
over cube roots and things.—Norris
