"If Andrew Jackson were on earth today he would, I believe, be a muck rak er." This is the statement of Prof. John Spencer Bassett, the authorized bio grapher of the former president whose "day" was recently celebrated. His biographer was asked: "If An drew JucltBon should come back to earth, what would he do; where would he stand?" "I am no prophet;" he replied, "mid I am not discussing politics, but I will tell you how I think he would feel about modern conditions, judging this from my study of his life, "Jackson's keenest impulse was against political jobbery and he would be In sympathy with the present day muck raker. , He opposed internal im provements because he thought local ities wpve taking advantage of the government to get ronds built. There was a group of road contractors ' In Philadelphia whom he thought were prciuoting the demands for roads for private profit. He opposed the United j States bank because the men behind it were to prodt from It"! liberal chartfv. He did not ask what service the bank would render, but what it would make out of the common man. Today, there fore, Andrew Jackson might be ex pected to oppose any special privilege and of course this has a very broad meaning now. "How did conditions in Jackson's time compare with ours?" "There are some similarities be tween political conditions In our day and In Jackson's,' replied the blstov lan. "The people feel the sat.e as regards monopoly, they have the same suspicion of what Is called a "money tnmv and there is the same demand for n stronger leader whom special Interests cannot control or corrupt. The tariff was almost as live an Issue In Jackson's day as at present Pro tection has had two palmy days in our history from 1816 to ISM and from 1S0F to date. In Jackson's day it was checked by a compromise which provided for a reduction ro gradual that it did not damage lndustr;.', and when the schodule has been brousht down to a revenue basis there fol lowed nearly 20 years of public econ omy and business prosperity. "One of Jackson' principles which scorns to have no counterpart In pies- ent politics, was his deep seated aversion to national MA. He mt only wished that the debt should not Increase, but ho actually worked ti pay it off. Ho believed tho nntbn was happy when out of debt. Today with our bonds for the Panama canal Issuing in large quantities and with the country looking to advance the internal system'of interior waterways, to follow the construction, we seem to have come to consider a national debt a harmless thing. If Jackson had lived In our day he would probably have desired to make the annual rev enues contribute a large part of such expenses, "When Jackson opened his fight on the bank, his leading advisers object ed. He Ignored their objections and rested his case with the people. When the returns came In, the politicians were pleased enough to give in their submission. "In his 'light on the bank, Jackson committed some errors. Some of his charges were not true, and the people could see It. Sometimes he was need lessly harsh, and the people could see this. But for all that, they supported him, and these were not merely the Ignorant stupid portion of the com munities, but the , average people, small merchants, farmers and plant ers, an Intelligent employes of all classes. They were concerned with one chief purpose, and on that they were satisfied with the leader. They thought some of the charges against the mere exaggeration of partisanship and others, If true, of such minor im portance that they could be Ignored in view of the grand purpose." will begin within three months, and with prospects for large rain and hay crops and a revival In mining and lumbering 1912 should be prosperous.
