THE MACON DAILY TELEGRAPH: SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1908 9 Strong Reasons for the Solid Southi 0 ® TifiER TRICK . . 'NOtt BEf ™' Prof. Kerlin Points Out Difference Between Policies and Principles i 4 ITo the Editor of Hu New York Evening Post: Si*—The deeign which the Rooeeveltian administration »nd the Rooseveltlan candidate for the Presidency have exhibited to break the Solyl South and bring some of the States of the old Confederacy into the'Republican column, not only does, in reality, aa Prof. WHiiam Garrott Brown of Harvard auggests, seem "chimerical"—it eeems im possible. Impossible, one would think, that these Republican officials should have the temerity to turn their backs upon solid New England, ignoring its Republican solidity, and ask a Democratic contingency of States to surrender their principles and convictions, and vote for a party in which they have no faith, a party that is historically hostile to the South, ft party that once defrauded them of the Presidency, and that, too, after the period of reconstruction. By President Roosevelt and'by ex-Judge Taft, following his mas ter's lead in this, as in other matters, but one argument has been pre sented to the South why it should cease to be solid. That argument is that in consequence of Republican supremacy the Democratic South is excluded from participation in national affairs. Professor Brown, in his recent letter to the Evening Post, adduces several other argu ments, as he deems them, against Southern solidity. Of these reasons, as given by Professor Brown, I purpose to take notice in this com munication. . The first is the one already stated above as originating with Mr. Roosevelt, and as taken up by the-Repubiican candidate for the Presi dency. Let it be accepted as a! fact that,; as things are, under Republi can rule, the South does not enjoy that participation in national ad- .. ministrative affairs to which ■ by her proportion of population and abilities she is entitled; what then ? Can the white citizens of the South pay the inevitable price of such'participation? Not to the end of time! What to them are cabinet positions, ambassadorships, and the like, compared to home rule and white domination and loyhlty to conviction's? ■ As a second reason giveh.'fhe Deriiocrats of the South to desert their party, their principles, and convictions, Professor Brown adduces the fact that the federal offices of the South are held, for the moft part, by a disapproved, untrustworthy, and unrepresentative class of men. Too well is the truth of this known. And the Democrats of the South, men of respectability, arc asked to set aside, not merely their principles and convictions, but their respectability itself, and march with these camp followers of the great Republican army. The believers in the sovereignty of the States, a reform of the tariff, and the preservation of the constitution of the United States, are asked to enter into politi cal counsel with a discredited class of politicians, something better indeed than carpet-baggers, but not quite respectable. Factional strifes, which Professor Brown adduces as a third reason, arc bad, generally, in any part of the country, and in any party, but they are peculiar to no section and confined to nq,party. There is really no argument here. His fourth reason recurs to the discredited character of Republican politicians in the South, as being notoriously subservient to dictation from above and pliant to even worse forms of influence. The entire Republican party has suffered corruption from this, and through the Republican party, as being in power, the whole coun try has fared the worse. 'Tis true, ’tis pity, and pity 'tis ’tis true. But let the Republican party reform itself, or be disenthroned. All the more reason for Southern solidity. Professor Brown’s fifth reason is that the political machinery of the whole country is warped by this solid attitude of the South. Pos sibly so. And possibly also It Is warped by solid sections at the North -r^Nfew England, for example. And possibly this solid and unshaken standing of the South for certain fundamental principles of govern ment is for the good of the whole country, and will yet prove to have been, and to be, an immense service to the nation. Now, let us see what reasons further than the answers already given to his arguments can be brought forward for the continued Democratic solidity of the Southern States. Reasons many are not far to seek. He who runs may read them. They are not fanciful, hot occult, not merely traditional. They are substantial, manifest, intel ligible, and convincing. They are founded on the principles of free government and true political science. Broadly stated, the foremost and chief reasons for the South's Democratic solidity are. that the people of the South believe in Democratic principles of government and are hostile to Republican principles; adhere to Democratic policies and repudiate Republican policies; and are devoted to the cause of their own freedom and domination. There is an historical Democratic party represented in the period of the formation of our government by Jefferson, later by Calhoun and Jackson, by Tilden, by Cleveland and his Cabinet, and now by Bryan and the survivors of that cabinet. The principles of Democracy are constant and enduring. No student of our political history can ques- j^sither the progressive spirit of that party, advancing to new posi- i>ms to meet new issues, or the conservative spirit, abhorlng the ex tremes into which Republicanism is perpetually running to the danger of our free institutions. Preserving thus, consistently with each other, the progressive and the conservative principles of government, the pioper balance and harmony of which always ensures a just and benefi cent government, the Democratic party has rendered to the country q service which not only entitles it to respect but much more, in view cf present dangers, to confidence, to loyalty, and to unwavering alle giance. The first of Democratic doctrines, in the past and in the present, if that of the sovereignty pf the separate States.

If an? on« auppo... that tht blind tiger I* not getting its share of tht Dual- nets from the crowds In Macon during tna fair. he has only to taka the time and look around.

The _ft» M f8 > p||jS nm ‘Tiy 0 one' 11 Imb Union as an Indissoluble nation, the Democratic party, whose strong hold has historically been the South, also upholds, against the cen- traliaing, State-obliterating, and monarchical tendencies of the Republi can party, the doctrine of the inviolable sovereignty of the individual States, believing this sovereignty necessary to the just poise and bal ance in the administration of our government, and to the preservation Etc him drunk. South is solid, always has been solid, and, it is to be hoped, and it is believed, ahvays will remain solid on that matter. A second principle that m'ay be named it that of a tariff for rev enue only, as against a high protective tariff that feeds fat the manu facturers of solid New England, and. is foster-mother of Legislature- buying, election ruling trusts and corporations. The Republican party is committed to a high protective tariff as a principle. The highest voice in New England, President Eliot of Harvird University, has declared the principle to be morally vicious. He is, therefore, a Dem ocrat. But New England, through the power of her plutocratic manu facturers, remains solid for the Republican nominee in each successive campaign. I name policies as a thing distinct from principles. This is not altogether tme. Principles underlie policies; they are related as inner and outer. Principles may be hidden, inconspicuous, hard to perceive or comprehend; policies are.more patent, more open to the seeing eye, less a matter of question, for they are a matter of practice. Now the policies of the Republican party in no small number of important respects have been, to the minds of a large portion of the American p - rf -’"" people, eminently pernicious, even to the extent of being alarming. Speaking of actual practices, which reveal policies and which indicate principles,' avowed or covert, the Republican handling of the Federal Constitution, construing it in such a manner as to make it meet emer gencies never contemplated by its makers, perverting its Intentions by judicial decisions, stretching out' Its applicability to blanket therewith colonial possessions in remote parts of the globe—all this is a policy l<iurt of administration that is no less than threatening to the very basis of our governnment. In keeping with this imperial trend at Washington under Republi can rule is the policy of the present chief executive in naming his own successor. Have the American people really discerned and appreciated the enormity-of this innovation? And the danger of it? Nothing so daring, so imperial, and so perilous.has been attempted hitherto in this country. Washington, Jefferson, Cleveland never, in their con cern for their country’s welfare, ventured upon such a course as this, knowing that on no ground could it be justified, or harmonized with the idea of free government. But above all, perhaps, the people of the South remain firm in their adherence to thfe Democratic party because it is the party which ensures to them the integrity of their own local government It alone guarantees to the white people of the South the right of making and administering their laws, of ruling. Better a thousand times have no voice whatsoever at Washington, not even in the halls of Congress, than to surrender their local government into the hands of that party which attached the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States—-the greatest crime ever committed by a civilized nation; that party which desires the negro vote, however ignorant, to place and keep itself in power; that party which surely would gain power r.nd hold it in the South by means of the negro, and which would be compelled to reward him with office. Is this then the Solid South “an anachronism, a hurtful and dan gerous anomaly,” as Professor Brown terms it? An anachronism is something misplaced in time, an outdated custom or institution; an anomaly is a unique and unclassified object or fact. To assert that the Solid South is an anachronism is to assert that the principles of the Constitution and the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson are outdated. This is, indeed, exactly what, by its policies; the Republican party is saying, But if the doctrines of Jefferson and the principles of the Federal Con- stitution are sound, then the Solid South is no more an anachronism than it was in ’?<6, when, by its solid vote, added to the votes of many Northern States, Tilden was elected President of the nation. Is it an anomaly? It would be so were there no other instance Cf such solidity in any other portion of the country. But how is it with New England, in her high protective tariff wall? Solid and im pregnable. And well she may be so. She knows her Interests—rich in the spoils of other States, enthroned on barren rocks, but richer than the Indies; for we all pay her tribute, build her palaces, feed and fatten her, bow down and obey her. Alas I how long? how long? Professor Brown does, indeed, hint at this New England solidity and suggests a breaking of that by exchanging, say, New Hampshire and Rhode Island (save the markl) for two or three Southern States. Does our historian truly believe things political can be manipulated in tills way? Are interests and convictions and traditions to be regarded as nothing? But “there is no menace of carpet-bag rule” in the South. No, not so long »* the Democratic party is in power there. But let its power once be brokr/i and then the black cloud of allied negro and white Republican rule overspreads the land, and something akin to carpet-bag domination again disgraces the nation. The safeguard against this, the South well knows, is the unity of her substantial body of white voters under the name and direction of that party that has traditionally championed the principles of government which she holds d ' r * d: as still valid.
