THE FUTURE Or AMERICAN POLI
. J lis. -
' . !
It i evident to tha stucleiit of his
tory that parties ccrae and go, as tlie
force of new issues confronts the j;eo
lle and old issues are solved, cr 'die
away by the force of circumstances.
"When the leaders of a political jarly
lirtve faga:-ity enough to recognize new
factors in politics, hik! adopt principles
therewith, its future prominence is as
sured ; but when they Llindly and per
sistently ignore new issues, and repre
sent the dead past alone their political
grave is in pi oceas of preparation.
In a government Ly the people and
for the people a reorganization of po"
litical parties is an almost certain con
sequence of the ever-varying change of
events. Let us look inro our past
history, tor that is the only way to
judge the future.
Befcre the close of the Revolutionary
war it 'became evident that a closer
bond of union between the colonies
was necessary. Washington said, "We
Are bound together by a rope of sand,
we are one nation to-day and thirteen
tomorrow."
The adoption of the Constitution led
to a well-defined diversity of sentiment
between a strong centralized govern
merit and a confederated' congress, al
though naturally enough all eyes and
hearts turned instinctively to Wash
ington as their thst President. Rut
eight jears gave sufficient time to crys-
lalize public opinion on the future con
.duct of government, and at the close
of Washington's administration two
)Jefinitely distinct parties were in the
field, each with its candidate for popu
lar favor. Opposition to the policy of
the administration led to the forma
tion of the anti-federal or republican
party, afterwards termed the demo
cratic party under the leadership of
Thomas J elferscn, Madison and Mon
roe. With the close of Madison's ad
ministration twenty -eight years had
. passed away and with it all the issues
of the Revolutionary war. The era of
good feeling dawned with the adminis
tration of Monroe, and the American
people turned their attention from the
exciting. topics of foreign war and in
ternational affairs to the more peaceful
jmrsnits of extensive agriculture, in
teroal improvements, and rapid devel
opment of native resources. The fed
eral party dropped out of sight, nnd
the material development of the coun
try supplied new issue?. It was' a
question with some whether congres
sional aid should be extended to the
building and improvement of public
works, but so great was the progress of
internal affairs that some piovision
was necessary for the exigences of
such a vast increase of population and
industry.
The development of manufactures'
had imposed another question of pub
lie policy on which thtre was, as of
necessity thei-e must be, a division of
sentiment.
The manufacturers of the East and
Middle States were in favor of a pro
tective tariff that would enable them
to compete with foreign manufacturers.
The Western and Southern States op
posed the tariff. Thus it became, as it
jever must be, a sectional question.
The increase of territory imposed
.mother exciting question upon the
political arena. Should shu er) bo ex
tended to the territories or not, cr
should they te allowed to decide this
for themselves These were some of
the exciiir.g topics that came up for
discussion and action.
Out of this turmoil came the organi
zation of the whig party under the
leadership of Clay and Webster. The
rigid administration of Andrew Jack
son had the.' effect of uniting all the
elements of opposition to' Jeffci sou iun
democracy. The whig paity gained
further strength during the adminis
tration of Van Ruicn, owing to finan
cial depression and the relaxation fol
lowing af tei: the tension of 'OId
. Hiskory."
The democratic party, after holding
the reins of government successively
for forty years, was temporarily de
feated. Harrison and 'Tyler gave the
-UniteU States four years of whig gov
ernment, and in turn gave place to the
democratic party under James K. Polk.
The annexation of Texas wa3 an
pther factor in politics. It was advo
cated by the democrats and opposed by
the wings. The dark shadow of slav
ery was now overhanging everv other
issue, and with the accession of new
territory or the treating of a new
State was the all-absorbing problem.
Various compromise measures only
served to postpone the settlement of
$he question. Meanwhile anew party
arose, which opposed all compromise
measures and held that all the terri
t;oiies should b free. This wss de
nominated the free soil party. The
whig party ouco : acre obtained the
ascendency, and after four years' cf
government by Taylor and Fillmore,
again gave place to the "democrats un
der Frfuiklin : Pierce, followed by
James Buchanan. But in spite of
measures of policy between' t'ha sec
tions the issue became more and more
distinct between the friends and op
jHoner.ts of slavery. It became evi
dent that troublous times were at
hand. In the midst of these scenes of
conflict the republican party had its
birth, absorbing all opponents of slav
ery, while the democratic party was
divided between Douglas and Breckin
ridge. What legislation could not do
was done by the sword and amidst the
din of war, state sovereignty and the
slave power went down forever.
With the close of the civil war our
country entered upon another era of
its history. The marvellous develop
ment of a now united, free and pros
perous country presents such a vast
array of physical and intellectual
forces the like of which has never been
seen under the face of the sun. Twenty-four
years of republican rule have
passed away and with them the issues
of the civil war. The democratic party
has once more assumed control of the
government. Such are some of the
facts of our., past -political history.
What of the future?
PART II.
Two fields of public policy usually
invite the wisdom of the statesman
internal and external or political and
economical. The questions that de
mands our attention at the present
time, it will easily be seen, are mainly
economical.
The wisdom of avoiding entangling
alliances with other nations needs no
evidence. We are at peace with the
world and at one with ourselves.
The animosities begotten by past
strife are dying for want of fuel.
The mad attempts of a handful of
partisan editors to rake up the cooling
embers are alike scorned by good men
North and South.
A tew gentlemen who are all too
anxious to fatten at the public crib
would have us believe that the country
is going to ruin, while others who are
as anxious to dictate and control for
their country's good or otherwise, raise
the cry of the demagogue, while a
motly crowd follows close behind in
Pinafore chorus, "And w e are his
cousins and'his sisters and his aunts."
But thinking men cannot so easily, be
deceived. An angry growl comes oc
casionally from the iutense partisan
who, to his horror, sees slipping from
his grasp, a large amount of campaign
squibs on which he was relying for po
litical capital for the jear 1888, but
the largely increasing element who are
determined to think and act for them
selves, are destined to upset many a
deep-laid scheme of the professional
politician.
The letscn of the hour is that tlie
government must be administered upon
business principles. Integrity and
ability must be the passport to the
country's service instead of party zea!.
Intelligence, morality and patriotism
must be the nation's watchword.
How shall we secure this noble end 1
By just and equal laws. By develop
ing our native resources. By raising
the standard of education. By remov
ing the incentives to crime.
Proud as we are of our past history,
grateful for the present, and hopeful
for the future, there are still some
blots remaining upon our national
escutcheon that must be removed or
they will endanger our future peace
and prosperity,
First Ignorance at the ballot-box.
"Woe unto thee when thy king is a
child." Our people are ther own
kings, but how many are children, in
competent to cast an intelligent vote
We lea e statistics to others, but it
is an undeniable fact that we have a
large illiterate , voting , population.
Nothing short of free, universal and
compulsory education is Sufe for a free
republic.
Second Organized crime. We have
been nursing a slumbering volcano.
The polygamous Mormon has not hesi
tated ' to defy the government. The
United States ilag at half-mast on the
Fourth of July is at once the illustra
tion and measure of his patriotism. A
strong and courageous surgical opera
tion must remove this festering cancer
from the body politic.
Third Bad faith with the Indian.
The long list of crime, oppression and
broken treaties that mark our dealings
with these tribes ought to make every
honest man blush for shame. Our
President has taken a noble stand in
defending these defenseless people
from the encroachments of sordid
wealth. Let tlie good work go on.
Justice to all and especially to the
weak should be the motto cf a Chris
tian nation.
Fourth -Tlie liquor traffic. The ap
palling results of this hideous business
would send athrillvof horror throagh
our Fouls, if it were not for the fact
that
Vice is a monster of such hideous mien,
That to be hated, needs but to be seen;
nut seen too oft, familiar with its face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
But the moral sense of the public is
being aroused on this question as never
before. It is a sign of the times when
a con&rincdi' drunkard, nominated by
one of the great political parties, is
scratched from one end of the county
to the other. The temperance
question is one of the phases of
our future politics, if not the most
prominent one. Like Banquo's ghost,
it will not down. So general is the
public sentiment on this question that
if all were agreed as to the best
method of dealing with it, the liquor
business would soon get its death
knell. But here is the point for fu
ture discussions and for future deter
mination. Shall it be accomplished by
non-partisan movements, or is the or
ganization of a third party advisable!
If we can be taught anything by the
past it is ceitainly this, it is to be de
termined by the attitude of the exist
ing paities to it as a public question.
It cannot be chok::d out. No compro
mise will settle the matter. Moral
suasion for the drinker and prohibition
for the seller is the ultimate end of all
temperance effort.
Notwithstanding all misrepresenta
tion by interested parties, the temper
ance sentiment is growing stronger
every day. It is not a sectional issue.
The plaster will soon te as wide as the
sore. The senate of Georgia has
passed the piohibition bill by an over
whelming majority. Under a special
law over 100 counties had become pro
hibition. And now it is assured for
the whole State. In the city of Ath
ens, the whiskey men, threatened to
burn the town if prohibition was car
ried. One of the city editois replied,
"We will carry Athens for piohibition
if the flames shall reach the skies."
Good men no doubt differ as to the
best method to be pursued. Many
good temperance people deplore the
third party movement and regard it as
a mistake.
One thing is worthy of notice. Like
a good many other things, some good
and some not so gooJ, it grows by
nursing. It was organized in 1872
and polled about 4,000 votes. Four
years later it polled about 5,000, then
in 1S80 it increased to 10,000, and the
St. John ticket last ear polled about
150,000.
Many Eaid St. Jehu has defeated
temperance. We suppo&e such deftat
as is represented by the foregoing fig
ures is moie pleasing to its friends tha i
its enemies.
These are some of the questions for
the present age. The party of the fu
ture is the paity that will recognize
and endeavor to meet vital issues.
Let the dead past bury its dead.
The future is full of promise. Nowhere
iu this wide world is there such u wide
and promising field for the highest de
velopment of mankind.
It is time that the voice of the dem
agogue should be silenced by the force
of an intelligent public opinion. The
Anglo-Saxon tace finds its highest mis
sion in a free republic.
Free speech, a free press, free school,
a free church, free government and its
native energy, gathering and absorbing
the best elements of other European
nations into its blood while eschewing
their vices, and a grand and glorious
future is before it.
The Eastern nations sink, their glory ends,
And empire riC3 w here the tun descends.
Knight.
Inasmuch as we have given space to
our fiiend "Knight" this week to speak
his sentiments, we hope Gov. Moody
will not take "advantage of our silence
and call an extra session before our
next issue.

to many quack rostiuu;s as iikely to engen
der or incourage a loye for ftroug driuk

doe3 not involve tin's danger.- It not only
builds up tke system, curiuu all ailments of
