JEFFERSON* DOCTRINE Continued from Flr-t Page. ning in that month of 1802 when a Span ish officer at New Orleans revoked the license granted by the treaty with Spain of 17W5 to deposit American products at that port and freely ship them thence to the West Indies and Europe, and ending on that last day in April in the next year when the treaty was signed. Attempts to impair the title of Jeffer son to the honor of the American part of that successful diplomacy have been failures. The plan was Jefferson's; the execution of the plan was his. While he baffled the Federalists, endeavoring to push him into a war with France, he con ciliated the Northwestern slates, exas perated because deprived of an outlet to the gulf. His official instructions to Liv - ingston and Monroe, his private letters to each published not long ago, disclose one controlling head on the American side. Recent revelations also show that Jefferson exploited in a most effective way, the hopes and fears which controll ed the conduct of the great first consul. It is not easy for history to separate the I president of the United States from the credit or discredit of the chief acts of an administration. So it is with Jefferson and the Louisiana purchase; with Madi son and the war of 1812; with Polk and the war of IS4S; with Lincoln and the war of Secession; with Grant and the Ala bama treaty. So will it be with McKin ley and the war with Spain. Praise, or blame, for what was demanded at Paris will be his. If the president has the benefit of success, he should bear the bur den of failure. - The recent treaty with Spain has been ratified. It is now a fixed fact In our law and our politics. It declares that "the civil rights nnd political status of the na tive inhabitants therein ceded to the Unit ed States shall be determined by the con gress." The discretion and decision are legislative, and not executive. The pres ident's war power, growing out of the war with Spain, is at an end. If he does not assemble congress to do what the treaty ordained, and the public welfare shall thereby suffer, the responsibility Wfll be his. FIRST DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. Jefferson's first inaugural is our first Democratic platform. The fundamental principles therein set forth contain the essentials of democracy. "They form," .said their author, "the bright constellation which has gone before us, and should be in the future." he added, "the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruc tion, the touchstone by which to try the s.r>ioes of those we trust." In the second inaugural, making appli cation of what had been previously said, wnre these significant utterances: I know that the acquisition of Louisi ana has been disapproved by some from a candid apprehension that the enlarge ment of our territory would endanger its Union. But who can limit the extent to which the federative principle may oper ate effectively. What prescience and foresight that question implied! The "Federative prin ciple" looks to an indissoluble union of Indestructible states. It repudiates and repels an empire of vassal colonies never to be states. He declared as self evident that "all men are created equal." He demanded "equal and exact justice to all men" and the maintenance of "equality of rights." The fourteenth amendment specifically DRINK GRAIN-0 After you have concluded that you ought .. not to drink coffee. It is not a medi cine, but doctors order it, because it Is healthful, invigorating and appetizing It is made from pure grains and has that rich seal brown color and tastes like the finest grades of coffee and co3ts about \i as much. Children like it and thrive on it because it is a genuine food drink containing nothing but nourish ment. Ask your grocer for Grain-O the new food drink, 15c and 25c. secured that equality 'by forbidding any stae to deny it. The interdiction was a pledge that every one in every state shall br> protected by Just ttnd equal laws, noc necessarily the same laws, because diver sity in the different states may promote that equality which is an attribute of liberty. Jefferson also emphasized again the duty of maintaining "that state of prop erty, equal or unequal, which results to every man from his own industry, or that of his father." What a lesson of ad monition is there against the fads of communism! EQUALITY HIS THEME. Equality of rights and duties were ever his theme. The Democratic party has no reason for existence if it does not always and unitedly strive for such equality of \vl; ieh the essence is freedom from re st nt Ints and burdens unequal be cause not Imposed on every one under like conditions. That Democratic rule, fearlessly applied in each state, may solve the present problem of trusts and spoliation by unjustified taxation. "We all agree that the Democratic par ty should nuve for its corner stone the doctrines indicated by' Jefferson. One was "The supremacy of the civil over the military authority," but that dLoes not require a national "Democratic "conven tion to prescribe to congress the size of a standing army. Another was "honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none," but that would not justify a national Democratic conven tion in dictating to a Democratic presi dent the details of his diplomacy to pre serve such friendship and avoid such al liances. A third was "honest payment of our debts, sacred preservation of the pub lic faith, encouragement of agriculture and commerce," but that does not com pel a Democratic national convention to ondeavor to prevent Democrats in any congressional district from expressing their preference regarding the details which will best enforce the doctrine. There was a glory reserved for him which no other president has had. For more than thirty years the executive de partment at Washington was, with the exception of four years under John Qulncy Adams, held by the democratic followers of Jefferson. POPULAR POLICY. We should take into account the ex* ceptional popularity of his pacific debt paying policy among the voters who, at Jefferson's second election, gave him 15 out of 17 f the states and all excepting 14 of the 170 electors. When he had In sisted upon retirement to private life at the close of his second term, the voters elected as his successor Madison, his sec retary of state, by 12 out of 17 of the states, and 122 out of the 170 electors. Some would have had Jefferson urge upon a people, largely agricultural, the building of a large navy, the creation of a great standing army and a huge na tional debt, and in his second term would have had him plunge the country into war with England or France, Instead of trying embargo and non-Intercourse, yet can we wonder that he preferred a policy preferred by the voters because of their desire to cultivate peace. It will be said that Jefferson was a man of peace. So was the Democracy he founded a party of peace, excepting when war becomes necessary, as it did a year Rgo. Then Democrats In congress and in the field upheld the flag of our coun try with their votes and with their lives. Peace, small exDenditures and low taxation were no doubt a passion with Jefferson, but his diplomatic notes as secretary of state, displaying the sword as a reluctant agent of peace, are a proud possession of his country because they brousht out of darkness the. rainbow of hope. The hope of our country today is In the party whose fundamental prin ciples were established under the wise and conservative guidance of Jefferson. Mr. Belmont introduced Augustus Van Wyck by referring to the lntter's canvass for governor. He saia Justice Van Wyck had conducted a campaign with honor to himself and credit to the Democracy. Justice Van Wyck was greeted with great applause. He said: ISSIKS OF TODAY. Justice Van Wyck on the Problem of Trusts and Imperialism. The toast, to which you do me the honor of inviting me to speak, must be carefully circumscribed, since the direc tions in which it points are innumerable. Your patience and my voice would both alike give out long before the task was finished if I should venture to discuss with anything like adequacy even h very tew of the more important branches of American commerce. It has come to pass, as you know, that our country is now the greatest center of industry and the chief producer of- exports on the globe. The evidences of our skill and enterprise are to be found on every sea and in the remotest hamlets of every civilized and half-civilized land. Our steel rails, for instance, are being laid in British India, and our locomotives are in demand in Europe, Asia and South America; more than two-thirds of the old world is clothed with our cotton, and were it not for th« abundance of our soil, combined witb_ the well applied, la bor of our husbandmen, the inhabitants of several of the chief nations would suf fer for the lack of food. In the villages of Arabia the American lamp filled with American oil may be said to typify the mental light which, we trust, is destin ed to reach those remote nooks from our centers of Christian culture; our reaping machines are finding increasing favor among the farmers of Russia; the elec tric light, as developed by Edison, sheds a cheerful radiance over Cairo and Je rusalem; France has become a consid erable purchaser of American wines; and the people of the British Isles are reading newspapers printed by presses of American invention on American paper and walk about their daily business In American shoes. Japan is buying Amer ican built ships of war; China is coming to terms with our men of enterprise for the opening up of some of her too long dormant sources of wealth, and In Aus tralia we flnd a still improving market for all sorts of Yankee notions. These surface facts with which every reader of the daily newspaper may be assumed to be familiar, suffice to show how very wide and complex is the field of American commerce and how neces sary it must be for after-dinner speak ers, who have had it assigmed to them as a subject, to remember at once the limitations of their own knowledge and i the exhaustibility of their hearers. ; ELEMENTS OF GREATNESS. That a country shall be great com mercially several things must coexist ! within its borders. It must have the necessary natural resources; its people must be skillful and industrious, enter prise must be fostered by just laws and i the spur of free competition and. finally as the very cornerstone of the whole structure, the sense of Individual honor must be sustained in full life.. Of these features there are. perhaps, only two not plainly in operation in the whole cir cle of our industries today. Abundance of our natural resources there is no room to doubt. The skill and readiness to labor of our people are not less evi dent. The plain American has never been surpassed as a whole-hearted be liever in the gospel of honest toil. Nor happily, is it open to question that our merchants exhibit in all their dealings as fine a sense of honor as can be found within the compass of the globe. Commerce, one of the clvilizers of the world, is a necessary element in the preservation of the prosperity and the happiness of our country. It must be fostered first by the freest competition between our own people In all home en terprises, securing for them untrammel ed business intercourse and enlarged op portunities for individual advancement, and second, by the freest competition between the internal freight lines from and to the seaboard, securing. the lowest practical freight rates to the ocean for all kinds of products. I venture to affirm, however, that some thing remains to be desired in these two particulars. I mean in respect to just laws and the spur to free competition. The laws are not just which burden the many to the end that favorites may grow fat. as in the case under our so-called protective tariff; and when monopolies are suffered to lay their hands on the throat of Individual enterprise, the spur of free competition is blunted if not de stroyed. We have seen in these recent days a disposition evinced in certain quarters to dismiss the Declaration of Independence as no longer applicable In its leading principle to the conditions of modern society. In putting themselves in this attiude toward the basic doctrines of the republic, the supporters of a tariff for the enrichment of the few and of trust for the killing of equal opportunity are not open to a charge of inconsistency It is the foulest mockery of reason to profess in one breath devotion to the doc trine of the equality of all men before the law of the land, and in the next to ap plaud a tariff system which yqueexes the blood out of the average man. for the fat tening of select individuals who have mastered tlio art of depraving all federal government and directing a new feudal ism which proposes to divide the land Into plutocratic dukedoms. INDUSTRIAL EQUALITY. In respect to these matters, citizens who think as the founders of the repub lic did, take their stand firmly on the ground that equal before the law means equality of industrial opportunity in so far as the action of the government is involved. The tariff has been one pro lific source of monopoly, and the mon strous misuse of th« franchise giving THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1899. power another. Our iron, steel, corl and sugar trusts may -be taken as examples of. what the tariff has brought to pa^s, while In the consolidation of our rail roads, gas companies, electric light com' panles we have illustrations of what has been and la being accomplished under the legislative power to bestow valuable public rights upon private corporations. Into tha details of our existing tariff I shall not enter at present, but I shall challenge any of Its supporters to name a single considerable branch or Indus try over which its so-called proteotlon has been extended which is not now con trolled by a confederacy of conspirators against competition. The Infant Indus tries have become giants who have taken it upon themselves to rule for their own ends the nation which nourished them under the impression that when matured they would be the best of servants and the very pillars of economic liberty. That the Democratic party must address Itself to the correction of these far reaching evils, if it is to hold the allegiance of the Democratic masses, is not doubtful. The cause of tariff reform was never more urgent than It is today, and never before was it less disputable than at this hour that no real relief can be looked for at the hands of the Republican party. TRUSTS IN GENERAL. Concerning trusts In general I find some Information in a reoent number of the Journal of Commerce, of this city, that seems to me to be worthy of the widest publicity. After showing that the num ber of these great combinations had in creased in the past twelve months from 200 to 353, the writer of the article pro ceeds as follows: "It will bo seen that at the end of Feb ruary these 353 combinations had Issued a total of ?5,118,500,000 of capital stock, and *714.1»9,OO0 of bond obligations. These fig-urea show an increase over those we Dublishod a year ago of "6 per cent in the combined stock and bonded debt, which indicates the extraordinary rapid ity with which the movement has spread within the last twelve months. What proportion of the entire manufactures of the United States has passed in this new form of organization may be inferred from the fact that the census of 1890 val ues the entiro capital then employed in the manufacturing and mechanical indus tries at $6,525,000,000, which includes all tha minor or retail work done by small individual proprietors. This means that the total capitalization of these combina tions Is equal to 90 per cent of the entire manufacturing investment of 1890." And to the people who have not fol lowed the record from month to month, and practically from day to day, of the industrial evolution here indicated, it i may well seem incredible that a change so fraught with menace to the welfare of the country, and the preservation of our liberties and to the dignity of American labor, has been accomplished. Not only is it, as the writer further, whom I have just quoted, says, a reversal of all that economists have expected as fundamental axioms of trade but it strikes, as with the dagger of an assassin, at the very heart of that individual enterprise, which, next to love of liberty for its own sake, is the energizing force of American In stitutions. FRAUGHT WITH PERIL. If the process or consolidating under the control of a single individual, natural or artificial, of the various branches of the business of a kindred nature con tinues in the same ratio as here indicated, it will be but a short time when five or six hundred corporate entities will con trol the entire manufacturing and mo chanical industries of this country, in number many times fewer than those en gaged in similar business on their own account when this country had a popula tion of about three and one-half millions and was struggling against the mother country for political, commercial, and business independence. Such a condition might well suggest some sense of alarm to the thoughtful patriot when it is con sidered that substantially seventy mil lions of people will be excluded from par ticipation upon their own account in these branches of industry and are con verted Into a mass of employes without the inspiring hope of bettering their con dition by mental and physical alertness. What individual not belonging to the class of multi-millionaires today would dare to engage on his own account In the establishment of a tobacco factory, or a baking powder company, or an oil re finery, for how well he would know that it would only require a moment's atten tion directed against him on the part of the trust in charge of the line of business thus invaded by. him to crush the very life out of his enterprise.- Deprive the young man from' twenty one to forty years of age of the oppor tunity of indulging in the reasonable hope that by due diligence they may attain in dividual advancement by going into some line of business on their own account, apd you will destroy the esprit de corps of the people of this country so essential to its continued progress, and in time paralysis will set in as it has done here tofore in the republics of the past, and it will be first felt by the impoverishment of labor and those of moderate circum stances, in the end destroying the forced customers of these giant trusts, result ing incidentally in strangling the pros perity and happiness of a great people. When we are invited, gentlemen, to find reasons for the continued existence of the Democratic party, we can, I am per suaded, accommodate the inquirer out of the easily verified body pf facts here called attention to. I do not go so far as to say that there are no other questions of large significance to which the Demo cratic party in the national field ought to give its best thought. There are other questions; but if there be not in these (of the tariff and of the trusts, with their death to free competition and individual enterprise) ground enough for a success ful appeal to an enlightened people, pol itical experience in the United States Is much at fault. Turning to state issues Judge Van Wyke spoke briefly of the New York canal problem in its local political aspect and in its relation to Canadian trade, the last bringing him again to national in terests. He said: * NO ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND. This pressure of English competition exists along the entire Northern bound ary of our country at the very time when it has become so fashionable for a certain class of political leaders and after-dinner speakers to thoughtlessly advocate a political and commercial alli ance, offensive and defensive, between these two countries; it will not be deemed amiss to caution our people against hasty action. Let us be influenced by the natural as well as the fixed policy of that nation towards us for a century and, a half rather than by their profuse ex pressions of friendship during the Span ish war. In 1711 Admiral Vernon com manded the English expedition against Cartagena on the northern coast of South America, then a flourishing Span ish possession. His forces included 3(5 companies of American troops from the thirteen colonies; among them were some of the Washington family, who after wards gave his name to their place on the Potomac, and also Smollett, who de scribed . the incidents of the disastrous attempt in his Roderick Random. The defeated forces rendezvoused at Jamaica in the West Indies, and from there Ad miral Vernon cold-bloodedly wrote to his home government that he would dis band and settle the battalions from the thirteen colonies in East Cuba rather V. an restore them to their home where they "would wish to establish manu factures, -which would injure those at home. (in England-. From then to now her poHcy ha? boon or.c of sharp rivalry and competition with America; it im pelled the Revolution of 1776, fought for business aa well as political independ ence; brought on the war of 1812, waged against the insolent claim of England foe the right to search our ships of com merce while riding the highways of the oc-.-fiTi; caused her to contest every inch of C''.<r northern boacdary line" from ocean to ocean; made her encourage our fam. ily troubles in 1860 to 1865, for which she was compelled to pay us millions and admit her wrong; and actuated her, in violation of the Monioe doctrine, to at tempt an unwarrantable encroachment upon the territory of Venezuela, until or dered by the American government to halt, notwithstanding that our new am bassador at the Court of St. James seemed to think that his first duty was to apologize to the English people there for; and she has paralleled our inland waterways and railroads from ocean to ocean, separating us from our Alaskan possessions. She is now and will ever be our principal competitor in the com merce of 'the world. Under such circum stances it would be her greatest boast in diplomacy to engender the animosity of other nations of the world toward us by such an alliance. For then, in case the emergency should ever arise that our country should feel it necessary to command her to halt again in any of her future aggressions and she should refuse, the United States would flnd her self without a friend in the sisterhood of nations. A lively appreciation of the true bear ings of both nations will be the surest guarantee of lasting friendship and peace between them. Let the good, old Amer ican international policy of each nation attending to its own business in the spirit of fair play to the others assert Itself and let these knee-benders to all that is English remember the advice of the matchless Washington, given In his forewell address, in which he says: "The greatest rula of conduct for us. in regard to foreign nations, is. In extending our commercial relations, to hava with them as little political connection as possible " "It Is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances -with any portion of the foreign world." From that moment the spirit of- "p«ae£, commerco *ud non e*t f Headship with all nations, entang ling none," proclaimed by Jefferson, has echoed and re-echoed down the corridors of time. Let the lovers of peace and friendship in both countries familiarise themselves with that part of Washing ton's address relating to foreign rela tions and it will promote good will be tween these two nations. COMMERCIAL INTERESTS. Suffer me In bringing these remarks to a close to indulge ,th«r hope that the Democratic party will act In Its national councils with a lively recollection of what la due to the commercial interests 'of our country that the resources of our soil may be brought more and more un der the command" ©fiiour people, that labor in every department may have an Increasing and not a" lessening reward, that our merchant flag, jnay be restored with honor not less Illustrious than that which accompanies the standard of our fighting ships, that the inventive genius of the land shall be prolific of good to the millions and not merely to the mill ionaire, that the typical American, full of self-reliance and. scorning all gov ernmental paternalism. Shall assert him self, that the credit of "the nation shall be untarnished, and, as in the past, lib erty and property shall ibe alike secure. It is indispensable that the commerce of our country be rooted, as it was, in jus tice, fanned by the winds of liberty, kept purged clean from the parasites of mo nopoly and watered continually by the sweat of free individual enterprise and competition. I care not by which party the evils that I have suggested shall be remedied or prevented, I prefer that the party in power shall do so, because it would hasten the remedy for these grow ing evils and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but if the par ty in power fails to answer the call of the people in these respects, it will be but a little while when they will be re placed by the party whose history dis closes that they have always been in nearer sympathy and touch' with the struggling masses. i . A word to the Democracy and I have finished. Let not the mere selfish thought of probable or possible party success absorb your time and thought, instead of the desire to prevent evils that may threaten our country. Remember the grand mission under a representa tive form of government of the party in opposition is a noble and lofty one. The organized exercise of an intelligent and eternal vigilance, the price not only of liberty, but good - government. Let this function be performed lmpasslon ately and faithfully for the purpose of watching over the acts of omission or commission of the party in power. If the evils become dangerous and oppres sive such aa the habitual violation of the principle of home rule by the na tional or state government; fostering of trusts by the sale to them of the tariff taxing power or the relief of their fran chise values from the fair contribution to the support of government; the de struction or impairment of our water ways at the instance . of railroads; tho extravagant or corrupt waste of public funds; or incompetenc^-tand radicalism, then the demand fon change will be so imperative that unity, will reign supreme among the rank and-, rile of our party. At the conclusion; "of Justice Van Wyck's speech many - persons left the hall. Justice Van WycKS reference to "trusts." the "state canals" and "the in | advisability of an allia-rice'with Great Bri tain seemed to attract" ? more attention than anything else he said, and these ut terances were applauded with much show of spirit. John B. Stanchnel&T responding to "Thomas Jefferson," had. much difficulty in making himself heard. JEFFERSONIAN IDEAS. Sentiments That Pervaded Manhat tan Single Tax Clnb Banquet. NEW YORK, April IS.— The Manhattan Single Tax club held its seventh annual dinner tonight at the Marlborough hotel. The attendance was large. Men and women were present in about equal pro portions, to do honor to Thomas Jef ferson, ostensibly, but it appeared subse quently that a greater idol was "Our contemporary Jefferson,, Henry George," as Dr. McGlynn, the dead philosopher ,'s friend, had put it. A feature of the dinner was the democ racy of dress that was observed. The men wore everything" from evening dress ; to plain every-day business suits. The women Were a unit in the avoidance of anything llice evening- dress. Much disarvDointment was caused by a telegram received from Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, expressing his regrets at not being' able to be present. A letter was i read from Michael Davitt, in Dalkey Ireland, in which, after referring to the auestlon of home rule for Ireland in the sentiment, "Ireland for the Irish and the Land for the People," he said: "I sincerely hope that the members of your club who are riehtly honoring the name and the memory, and, above all, the principles of Thomas Jefferson, will not hesitate to proclaim America for the Americans, Cuba for the Cubans and the Philippines for their people. Jefferson's glorious and immortal principle affirmed and declared that all governments derive their just power from the consent of the neonle governed, and the republic of the United States ourJU to be the last of civ ilized nations to adopt the unjust, ag gressive imperialism which the fathers of its independence fought against and con quered under Washington." A letter was also read from A. Henin, a member of the second eliamber of Swe den. STILLWATER. All Gamblinfc In Sitloons Stopped Memorial Day 'preparations, STILLWATER, Minn:.
