The AbbeyiiiTpi^^SSEanriei^ BY HUGH WILSOK ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER , 2l, 1900. ESTABLISHED EXPANSION DID IT. Here In an Kxruexl, Kloqueut Analysis of tlie Republican Victory. (John Temple Graves, in Atlanta Newa.) < I make bold to differ with the current Democratic estimates of the cause of Tuesday 's tragedy ballots. I think that tneghpafc of free silver struct less terror to the soul of suffrage than tbe living Issde of giving up what our arms aud blood have wou i n j the Pacific seas. 1 believe that Tuesday's ballot was an expansion victory, and the result! u/iiifiirtpti mv ronviction that tbe senti-1 ment of this country is overwhelmin-: gly for expausion. Silver iu this campaign was a shadowy ghost that revisited the political battlefield only during the pale glimpses of the moon. It had no terrors and it scared no votes. The vital, breathing, present issue? the "paramount issue," if you willwas the commerce of China and the Pacific ocean, and the trade winds blew the ballots in a storm toward the party that stood for these colossal facts. This is a commercial age?more's the ^pity. The dominant thought of the L.- world is trade and accumulation. Moral ideas make scant headway . against vast and evident commercial interests. And when the moral ideas are challenged by the missionary fervor of both liberty and religion, and the commercial interests are patent k.'. and towering, the result of the poll . battle ought never to have been in doubt. It is easy to see this now that it is all over. It should have been ,v \ clear before. ?. I do not thiuk that the Repubcan molnritiT errant ?Q if. iu fllllv illustrates ? -- ?j k the strength of tbe expansion sentiment. 5 Thousands of expansionists?-and I am one of them?-followed tbe flag of Democracy for the issues that it carried which seemed greater and deeper than any commercial consideration. The uormal Democratic majority in Georgia is about 05,000. The returub i>;tbis morning indicate only about 40,000 majority. The 25,000 silent voters, in my judgement, are expansionsts. ? And benind tbese are some "25,000 other votes that would follow the flag to the East," if they could go without v treason to Democracy. I believe that tbe thinking South is for expansion. !There is every material reason why it 6 should be. No section of the,republic i; has so great a commerical stake in the trade of the east. We have been warwasted and poor. While tbe eastern V and middle states have rioted for ball ' a century iu prosperity, we have travailed in the stsuggle tor recuperatiou from proverty and desolation. To our staple aud material products Vf-ih the open markes of Chiua and the ^ Pacific islands raafce the industrial light in the east. They shine witi. golden promise to our farms and fac<' tories and mines. More than this: The establishment of our natioual < .' 1 power and influence in these Pacific '~y jieas is the only, possible guarantee -y which the future holds for tbe cornple-^-vlion Nicaraguan canal. That ''' great enterprise has been lor 20 years the plaything of lobbyiststs in 'he house of congress. Tne American flag in the Philippines makes its completion imperative and sure. And when that imperial water-way links the two imperial oceans of the ) * world, these gulf and south-western states become the geographical center of the world's commerce?with all the measureless impetus which that ; f \ tremendous fact will give to her sea port cities aud to her inland trade. What people, then, have so vast an ' * ? t-.?-?tiMn/w ! ?\ !>/> T? oof J J ao lllberesi 1U IUC ltag 1u iuu jjuov, I ' r we have, and if Materialism be the v- god of this age, is it any wonder that its votaries should follow in thousands / v where his mercenary banner leads? Mark you I do not say that the south is in favor of imperialism as Mr. Byran defines it. There is no ~ indorsement here of colonies of slaves . and of proconsuls enriched with - ppoils. All the instinct and traditions t of Cowpens and King's Mountain : , would rebel at that. But there was somehow the pervading hope that the McKinley policy, in its fuller evolution would conserve all '?*; these Republican ideals, and on the otoer hand the perv ad ing apprhension that Bryan in his strenuous zeal for liberty, might loose the substance while he bound the shadow. Since, then, the policy which wraps our highest interests has won?without co-operation or consent?it is high time that the business south anflftb it* mind to those who represent itjn the national legislature. We are free now from the immediate fealty to paity which bound our tongues. Our political cause has been Mjr^w?taked and lost. We are at liberty to : - find ourselves among new conditions. The way of our material welfare" is plain. ^ Let utf summon our public servants to help ud "work the road." Let us make haste to "make friends to ourselves of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when we die they may receive us into everlasting habitation." For Byran and his great battle there ifl increasing love and admiration. No cause in the republic has bad an abler or a nobler leader than the cause and the man just fallen by the ballot. Time will vindicate the cause and the man who fought its battles. Somewhere, somehow, at sometime, he will rise agam. v To me his worth is undiminished, his prestige all unbroken. He is the last tribue of the common people, and he is grauder and dearer in defeat than he would have been in victory. MAIL CLOSES. Malls Coming and Going Every Hour In (he Day.
