Just before he died, Wendell
Phillips, who did so much to
force war on the south, in old
days, and who insisted on dras
tic methods with “rebels and
traitors,” declared that the
south and not the north had.
triumphed. In conjunction with
Mr. Phillips was William Loyd
Garrison. Garrison’s son evi
dently agrees with the lament of
Wendell Phillips. He in
the most caustic language, de
nounced the evils of the recent
war, and, in conclusion, says:
“Moreover, the present aggra
vated ills of the country a»‘e the
direct legacy of the civil war.
Without it the protective tariff
would long since have given way
to the English system of revenue
toward which it was rapidly
tending. The greenback and
silver controversies would neVer
have been born. The plutocracy
which has assumed such alarm
ing proportions had its genesis
in army contracts, inflated 1
prices and special privileges so
easily obtained unnoticed amid
the clash of arms.”
Mr. Garrison is e\ idently sorry
that his ancestor prodded the
south into hostilities or that >fibe
war and reconstruction were not
conducted differently. Mr. Gar
rison evidently thinks that the
present condition of the negro is
not in some respects, as favor
able as it was before 1861.
Just think whit a mighty
power the south is and was. Not
only did she make the best fight
in history for constitutional lib
erty, but has dragged the victo
rious section down to whit M.\-
Garrison considers a fearful
abyss. So, if the north had al
lowed the erring sisters to have
gone in peace, there would have
been no robber tariff, no money
panic and no plutocracy.
The men who forced the south
to war had, according to Mr,
Garrison a fearful responsibility
and the northern men who pro
claim their section triumphant,
are according to Mr. Garrison.

Bismarck was one day in a

cropped up. He kept silent fir
