GENERAL REVIEW OF AMERICAN LITERATURE

LITERARY TALKS
AND REMINISCENCES
The golden age to vrhich nations and In
dividuals look back with longing Is the
period of their youth; Indeed, the very
phrase owes its existence to a belief In
herent In the race that In youth alone
happiness is possible and the creative
power active. The highest achievement
of American literature lies, it is to be
hoped, somewhere ahead, but when we
speak of tne golden aje that is past we
have unrolled before us the years of its
maturing youth, a youth that a country
may well be proud to remember.
The admirable novels of Cooper, the
graceful prone of Irving, the fantastic

creations of Poe, even the poems of Bry

'isolated productions, unrelated to each

life of the country. Bryant alone of these

and think was scarcely less imperative
than tho outward obligation to labor, and
the good housewife, after storing her pies
In the cupboard, opened her Plato and re
freshed herself at the storehouse of Greek
thought.
The conditions were almost unique in
history. There was something of the
Scotch background of religious austerity
and simplicity of life; but the Scotch
were steeped in traditions; the New Eng
landers had crossed the sea with no su
perfluous baggage of this sort, and stood
in a new land whose history was the
history of Individuals not of the racp.
Even the religious austerity had softened
and become . their one tradition. Dr.
Channlng's eloquence had commended
freedom and brotherly love and-Unitari-anism,
spoken of somewhere by the good
doctor as only the vestibule of the re
ligion to come, was for the nonce tho
National church. The people were inde
pendent, but in one respect still colonial.
English literature was still a mother'
country for the mind, as It always will
be; they had no new language In which
to clothe their new thought they had not
even, like Burns, a dialect to be raised
to tho dignity of a language. Their eye

Concord. There was no battle between
them as between French classicism and
A. Bronson Alcott.
romanticism; their relations were of the
friendliest. Both were necessary to the
development of the country. But to lind
the true American spirit and the National
tang of character we turn to the village
of Concord, with Its farms and meadows,
-its slow winding rivers and tho wooded
solitude -of -Walden close at hand. It
wjLs Emerson's "own hearthstone," his
home for 50 years.
P&J& pojujd have heen nioptted
p(
than Emerson's to express the best hope
and genius of his cuntry. He carried
his culture within; books were an acci
dent to him he needed no esthetic or
traditional surroundings. He established
a weather bureau at Concord, In Just re
lation with the stars and the elements,
and made his local report of a universal
truth. It was an utterance outside party
and creed, and it leavened American
thought In more ways than can be accu
rately computed. He urged to self-reliance
and courage, bade his countrymen
"leave authors' eyes and fetch your own."
No one was less bound by tradition, and
yet his had the reverence of one to whom
truth is neither old nor new, but eternal.
He valuea freedom of thought, but It was
not, to his mind, a law to be established
by act of Congress or by the subversal of
all otner acts, It was the simple, Inalien
able right of every man who had it In
him to think at all. (
All New England came Into some sort of
touch with Emerson. His long, serene,
upright life in Concord was an inspir
ation. His lectures stirred people to a
belief in vast spiritual possibilities. They
were read from manuscripts in which it
mattered little whether ho turned over
one page or two. His prose is a series
of great fragments finding their relation
In the unity of the thought which has
hewn and polished them. His poetry Is
still more condensed, the essence of his
fancy with a runic tune of Its own.
To Thoreau, a native of Concord and
another independent spirit, the assertion
of freedom was not enough; it needed
proclamation. "The world was too much
with him' even In Concord; he retired to
the banks of "Walden and built himself a
hut, where he abode for two years, a
proceeding which has somehow contrived
to give posterity the notion that he passed
his entire life in the company of the
owls and the squirrels. His hermitage
was, however, within a mile or two of
very choice society; he still went to town
"Uk. a friendly Indian." as" he expressed
it, and kept up relations with the Emer
sonH, with Bronson Alcott, whose lm
porviousness ta depression was an Inspir
ation to his friends, and with Ellery
Xathantcl P. Willis.
Channlng, nephew of the preacher, a poet
of meditative verse, with a fine elevated
line here and there. Thoreau escaped
tho morbidness and self-Introspection
which is the danger of the solitary. He
was a cheerful hermit. A delight In
"roughing it" is less rare in our day than
it was In his, perhaps because the com
forts of life have increased; but of all
our amateur woodsmen, Thoreau Is the
most aboriginal, and his "Walden" re
mains one of tho freshest of outdoor
books, off-hand In style, but clear and
firm, with deep, delicate observation.
Hawthorne belonged to Salem, but he Is
nevertheless among the most cherished
memories of Concord, having lived for
three years In his early married life at
the Old Manse, and returned to take his
long rest in the Sleepy Hollow graveyard.
He Is the greatest creative writer of our
golden age, and the most American. The
very marrow of New England is in his
books. Never was there a more perfect
tie between author and subject than when
Hawthorne wrote "The Scarlet Letter."
In a solitary youth he had brooded over
the lives of those Puritan ancestors not
so ,yery far removed from him nearer In
some respects than his contemporaries
for Hawthorne was out of touch with the
reaction of his day with all Its idiosyn
crasies; it was new and temporary to lilm
compared with the old creed, which was
pirt of the granite rock and smacked
of tho east wind. In some crevice of the
granite he found a flower of romance.
It was a theme at once fantastic and
poignantly real; it suited his genius and
strengthened it. On the stern background
of formalism he brought out a great Im
aginative story, bestowing on it some
thing of the minute fateful care which
Hester gave to embroidering the scarlet
letter on her gray gown. The book has Its
never-to-be-forgotten scenes, like the ro
mances of Victor Hugo, but they are not
projected into a forced relief like those
of the great French novelist, but are
closely Interwoven parts of a whole that
is singularly harmonious with every de
tail in perfect keeping. The purity of
tone is as flawless as the style. The ab
sence of passion, even of tenderness, Is a
merit, not a defect, no such note could
have been introduced without changing
the whole delicate scheme of color, and we
do not miss passion In the restrained In
tensity and truth of the work, the stern
pathos, Inherent In the situation. In "The
House of the Seven Gables," "The Marble
Faun" and "The Blithedale Romance,"
beautiful as they are In workmanship,
the interest is less sustained and pro
found. The lirst is too obviously a study;
the second, in spite of Its charming Itin
erary and the distillation of the essence of
New England maidenhood in Hilda, is too
unreal and dilettante; the third treats of
those contemporary Ideas which to the
shrewd Yankee so oddly bound up with
the poet In Hawthorne's composition were
eo futile -and absurd.
People were quick to recognize In the
Zenobia of "The Blithedale Romance" a
portrait of Margaret Fuller. That It was
so Intended was denied by Hawthorne,
and there seems little likellness to contra
dict him. But he could hardly have put
any woman's figure In the vanguard of
the thinking world in New England with
out reminding his readers of a woman
whose writings are now forgotten, though
they were not without vigor, but whose
conversation Is an unwritten episode of
our literary history. She was a frequent
visitor in Concord and an intimate friend
of its group of writers and talkers, to i
whom the name of the Transcendental
School has often been given. She was one
of the staff of their memorable little
jjaper, the Dial. She taught, .wrote &njL

DEMOCRAT AGAINST BRYAN.
Prominent Chicago Man Can't Stand
Assault on Business.
Chicago Tlmea-Herald.
William T. Baker, ex-presldent of tho
Chicago Board of Trade, has sent a brief
letter to the Republican National Com
mittee that will more than offset the long
letter, in which ex-Secretary Olney ac
cepted Bryan as an unpalatable choice be
tween two evils. Mr. Baker, like Mr.
Olney, is a Democrat of the Cleveland
school, but he repudiates "16 to 1 and law
lessness as personified in Bryan."
Mr. Baker has been known throughout"
the Northwest as a consistent advocate of
free trade, and therefore it is not to be
wondered at that he seizes upon the
promise of Mr. Bryan that he will "rec-'
ommend such additional legislation as
may be necessary to dissolve every pri
vate monopoly which does business out
side of the state of its origin," as fore
shadowing "a limitation of all successful
enterprise within state lines."
This would bo a policy in restraint of
trade with a vengeance.
The crusade against expansion, hypo
critically called "Imperialism," Mr. Baker
dismisses as an absolute and silly sham
conjured up. for this campaign only. He
recalls that "expansion has been the poli
cy and practice of the American people
since the pilgrims landed on Plymouth
Rock." And he dismisses it with this
stinging figure:
This talk of imperialism is like the rat
tle of the snake that hurts nobody. It
is the head, of the reptile that Is danger
ous, and there you will And the free silver
bite.
Unlike Mr. Olney, Mr. Baker does not
have to take the least of two evils. He
chooses between:
Sixteen
The
Gold
Standard
and
the
Security
it
Brings,
to
One
and
Lawlessness
Personified
in
Bryan
J t
And declares, "I shall vote for McKlnley
as representing the latter."
Mr. Baker will vote for McKlnley and
Roosevelt because he Is consistent to his
record.
In deciding to vote for Bryan and Ste
venson Richard Olney has had to go back
on every principle of his public career.
He has had to adopt the scuttle as his
symbol and toss Into it his convictions:
That the gold standard Is necessary for
our commercial safety and honor and that
"the Isolation that In nothing but a shirk
ing of the responsibilities of high place
and great power IS SIMPLY IGNOMIN
IOUS." Mr. Baker's course Is straight and logi
cal. Mr. Olney's Is tortuous and abs61utely
Inexplicable.

OPPOSED TO SURRENDER
OltEGdW VETERANS WILL ANSWER
COLOKEL BRYAN.
Flas Should Not Be Hanled Down In
Lands Won by American
Arms.
A meeting of veterans of the Civil and
Spanish War3 will be held Saturday or
Monday to pass resolutions lndorisng the
policy of the Administration with refer
ence to the Philippines, Hawallr Cuba
and Porto Rico. General Owen Summers,
who commanded the Second Oregon In
the Philippines, has charge of the ar
rangements. As soon as he selects the
placo for the- meeting the call will be
issued.
"The action of the proposed meeting of
veterans," said General Summers yester
day, "will be the answer of the soldiers
of Oregon to Colonel Bryan's policy of
surrender in the Philippines. Veterans of
our wars feel that territory gained at
the cost of American blood is sacred, and
should not be surrendered. We do not
want any more flag hauling down. Cleve
land gave us enough of It at Honolulu."
In the East, veterans of all wars are or
ganizing against Bryan. In Clark Coun
ty, Ohio, soldiers of the Civil and Spanish
Wars have Joined hands and Issued an
address, a copy of which was received in
Portland yesterday. It follows:
"For reasons best known to themselves,
the enemies of the Administration at
Washington have in desperation taken up
the cause of the common enemy of our
country In order to make what they call
a winning issue. It Is an issue they call
Imperialism. In common soldier language,
It is an issue of treason. The United
States, as a National and holy duty to
man and the world, purchased the Phil
ippine Islands from Spain, that the in
habitants thereof should enjoy the bene
fits and freedom and the careful care of
this great Republic. It promised the peo
ple of those Islands all the rights of local
government accorded the people of our
own territories, and more. Millions am
to be collected and spent for Improve
ments in schools, In roads, in cities, and
in all the branches that tend to im
prove, enlighten and civilize. Before tins
crowning act of National benevolence
could be Initiated, the Filipino leaders.
who, for personal power, caring nothing
for their people, conspired against their
redeemers, stirred the bands of people
over whom they had Influence" and power
to rebellion against the authority of the
United States, at the same time planning
for the wholesale massacre of all Ameri
cans, men. women and children, In Ma
nlla. They have fired on the Stars and
Stripes, shot down our brave soldiers,
murdered and pillaged, while millions of
their own people stood aghast.
"The President of the United States,
sworn to protect the Hag and authority
of this Republic, has not swerved one
lota from the path of duty and honor.
Never was a more unholy, uncalled for,
unreasonable rebellion Inaugurated, or
more traitorlously encouraged by the ene
mies fit the party In poser at home. To
raise a political cry, to win a campaign,
to gain a political office, the enemies or
President McKlnley have stabbed the
country In the back and openly encour
aged the Filipinos to keep up the rebel
lion at the cost of hundreds of brave
American lives. The boys of '61 are near
lng their last mlkstone. The spirit is
old. but It rejuvenates; It Is born again
with a fury at this new outrage on our
country. It is the cbppcrhead reptile
again, and let the old boys in blue stand
like a mighty monument with the young
boys in blue for the hdnor of the Re
public and the flag. Union veterans. It
13 the old cry. "'again, that beautiful,
country-loving cry, that mighty cry that
stirs the tired muscles to bands of steel
and makes the heart leap with the pas
sion of patriotism. Fall In!"
The resolutions to he ddopted at the
meeting which General Summers is ar
ranging will reflect the spirit of the Ohio
address. It Is the general sentiment of
Oregon soldiers that a positive answer
should be made to Bryan's campaign
against expansion. The matt-r was laid
before General Summers, and by request
he took the Initiative In calling the meet
ing. Pleasant Ilome Notes.

Extra strain needs extra strength.
When a man begins to add to his hours
of labor, and subtract from bis hours
of rest, he is putting an extra strain on
brain, and body. In such cases many
men make the serious mistake of using
stimulating liquors, or alcoholic medi
cines. These can only injure. The spur
forces on the horse, but does not
strengthen him. Stimulants are only
spurs. The need of the body is
strength. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is invaluable to overworked
men and women. It strengthens the
stomach, increases the blood supply,
nourishes the nerves, and gives vital
power to brain and body.
There is no alcohol in "Golden Med
ical Discovery." It contains no opium,
cocaine or other narcotic. It is strictly
a temperance medicine.
Mr. Edward Jacobs, of Marengo, Crawford Co.,
Indiana, writes: "After three years of suffering
with liver trouble and malaria I gave up all
hopes of ever getting stout again, and the last
chance wa to try vour medicine. I had tried
all the home doctors and received but little re
lief. After taking three bottles of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery aud one vial of his

due entirely to your wonderful medicines."
