Life has many a stony street Even to the toughest feet; Men, the sturdiest, fnd it so Ere through half of life they go. Streaks of blood are in the way, Trod by humans every day; Seen by love's annointed eye While the blinded world goes by. Yea, if all the sighs were caught, Wherewithal the air is fraught; What a gale would sweep the skles Laden with man's miseries! Gently then, or brother man! Do the utmost good you can; God approveth e'en the least Deed of truth to man or beast. - -Thomas MacKeller. MR. PULITZER'S GREAT SPEECHI AT INDIANAP OLIS. "The Five Great Historical Besults." Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, of St. Louis, delivered at Indianapolis, on Au gust 14th, the following most re markable speceb, one well worth perusal and solemn consideration. !The orator said: NOT IF THE PEOPLE WILL BUT IF THEY CAN. The real question is not whether a change in Washington is poli tic, but whether it is possible. The issue is not to ascertain the will of the majority, but whether that well-known will-can be per manently defied. It is not why should the people want a change ? but can they have it if they want it? Thrice in six years the Ameri can people showed unmistakably, that they wanted a change in the character of their national government. In 1874 they elected a Democratic House. In- 1878 they elected still another. In 1876 they also elected a Demo cratic President. The results of these successive elections also chan'ged the Senate until that body too is Democratic to-day. Thus there are FIVE GREAT HISTORICAL RESULTS in six years, the election of a IDemocratic President, a Demo cratic Senate and three Demo cratic Houses, to show that the majority of the American people desire a cbange in the character of their national government. Yet, has there been a change ? Is the ruling party or the ruling spirit at Washington not unchanged ? Does the majority govern to-day ? Does not the fraudulent E~xecu tive, by the abuse of the veto power, thwart every measure of reform, retain every partisan abuse and defy the will of both Con gress and the American people ? The Democracy is not only now, but really never ceased to be, the majority party ,in this country. Is this still a representative government.? is this still a real republic ? Do the people truly govern themselves? Is a politi cal party in this country still re sponsible to the people ? Is there no accountability, no day of judg ment ? Shall those who stole the Presideney retain it indefinitely ? Shall fraud and political wrong be indorsed ? Is this to become a personal and permanent govern ment? Is this a government based upon law and public opin ion, or on fraud and perjury ? LESSONS BY FRANCE AND ENGLAND. Not long ago we read that the French people ordered a change in their national government. It was a great gurisis. The marshal president had a connliet with the French Congress. t was a con flict very much like the one we had in this country-between place, force and power as against public opinion-the will of the people. - It was said that MacMa h. on would never yield. Troops were ordered out. Paris was at tfever heat. It looked like another revolution. The unarmed repre sentatives of the people seemed to be poweles agaifist the fea.rlese military President witb the ha million soldiers at his comman< But there waa no bloodshed. Ma sbhal MacMahon submitted. JH vacated the presidency and etel pod into oblivion. It was a tr umph of public opinion. It was victory of the wili of the peopl over military force. It was sel government. A few months ago we read the the people of England, too, oi dered a change in their nation: government. England has a Quee and Empress, and no Republica institutions. The English Quee was known to have a strong pei sonal dislike of Mr. Gladstone-a aversion which the whole royi family had frequently and mos offensively demonstrated. It wa said that the Queen never woul submit, never would yield, neve would send for Mr. Gladstone t make him prime minister. Ther was no law, no line in the const' tution requiri-g it-only custor and public opinion-the will o the people. We heard of grea excitement and. another great cr sis. But the Queen, after sovert efforts to* the contrary, finall; yielded. Mr. Gladstone was sen for. He is prime minister of Ei gland to-day. In this case, too, it was a grea triumph of public opinion-a tr umph of repreaentative institt tions-a triumph of popular sel: government. But how was it in free Americ; when we last elected our Pres dent? Did public opinion, th will of the people, the voice c law, the letter of the Constitutioi prevail here? Was the choice c the great majority not kept out o his place by the greatest frau ever known in history? WHAT IS IMPERIALISM? It is often asked why it is tha those not to the manor born shoul be so earnest and united in thei opposition to Grantism and mi chine politics generally ? But wh; has this republic so many chi dren ? Why has every land an shore, every race and tongue cor tributed fresh blood and braw and brain to our rising nation Why do these millions of foreig born already here still receiv daily accessions by the thousands It is the spirit of imperialisr And what is imperialism ? Injustice, -inequality, class di: tinctions, privileges to the fey wrong- to the many, corruptio and venality, but above all-fraut ulent one-man power. Those who wait for a King a Emperor to appear before the recognize imperialism will wai until it is too late. No purple c throne, no sceptre or crown, n King or Emperor will ever heral its advent in this country. It natural advance guards are vena ity, fraud and centralization. It is all the more dangerous b< cause it comes unheralded and ur heeded. Its spirit may creep int the arteries of free institutions its essence may poison the ver life-blood of liberty. Already in perialism rules in the name an form of many republics. Mor liberty exists under the Britis Empire than in the South Amer can so-called :-epublies. Less sel governmen t exists under the nanm of some Presidents than that < Kings. Names signify nothinj They deceive rather than denon iate. Brazil has a monarch whb is really a republican. There at many republicans in this countr who are really monarchs. Et gland has a legitimate Empre who does not govern but obey the people and Parliament, whi our illegitimate President ove governs and defies the people ai Congress. THE sPIRIT IF NOT THE FORM. Show me a land where the wi of Congress is beld in1 contemI by the Executive, and where, t the impudent use of4the veto poa er, it ceases to i'e the executi1 and becomes the dictator of Co gress ; show me a land where sea in the Senate are bought wil the gold of INevada, barter4 for a mission to Peru or hand< over as personal property fro father to son, as in the State C.,mrn; show me a land whe If two men like Conkling and Cam i. eron are practically the political e- monarchs in the two greatest e States, and over nine millions of - people ; show me a land where ex i. ecutive influence of the vilest par. a tisan character controls-the army, e the navy, the treasury, the ju E- diciary, and a legion of over 100, 000 office-holders; show me a land , where one person controls 8,000 miles of railroad, mostly built by I government subsidies; where an other has forty-seven millions of a government bonds registered in his name, and where still another can appear at a White House re nception with diamonds on her body worth over a million of dol t lars; show me a l'and where the money power, the organized cap ital, privileges and monopolies of r tht country, the railroads, tele graphs. banks, protected manu factures, etc., are favored and fos tered by the government, and where all these powerful interests f unite in opposing any change t of that government; show me a land nt here laws are di3regarded, !elections nullified and the highest courts are perjured to prevent a t change and give the enormous executive power to one clearly defeated by the people ; show me he-o worship, one-man power, boss rule, Senatorial triumvirates, defiances of the pcpular will, fraud and sham ; show me an im potent House of Representatives, a polluted Supreme Court, a stolen Presidency, and you have shown and seen the spirit of Imperial ism I The danger is not about a fi - - - change in the form but in the spirit of our government. THAT DANGER HAS ACTUALLY COME. It is before us now. It is the issue of the hour, and the duty of the Democracy is to meet it, battle with it,overthrow it and restore es t tablish and the same principles of true, popular, self-government up r on which the republic was origi nally founded and without which it is sure to founder. Gentlemen, those who were born to it may treat it as a matter of course, but I prize American citizenship. I 3 did not gain it without sacrifice, and cannot lose it without sorrow. a Where I was born-the most an e cient empire of the world-im ? perialism flourished. I tore theties ' of. home and kin, broke the fetters of a subject, and, though but a - boy, came to t.hese shores friend , less, homeless, tongueless, guide a less-save that grand guiding star -of liberty which this republic pre sented to all the world. I became r an American ; I became free. Be. y fore the republic clothed me with t equal citizenship its laws exacted r as a condition that I should re o nounce all allegiance to imperial d- ism and Emperor. I joyfully com s plied with that condition. I have - kept faith. I am only keeping faith now. When, by the secret .march of centralization and the .open defiance of a daring and des o pce-ate political party, this repub ,lie itself is infected by tendencies yof imperialism-what more natu . ral, what more fit, what more d grateful than those should be first e to recognize the danger, give the b signal of ala.rm and come to the irescue who know from actual sad f. experience what imperialism real e ly is and who owe their freedom to the republic ? . PROSPERITY MORE DANGEROUS THAN - PoVERTY. 0 One point made by Republican e oratoiJ is the great prosperity of the country. The country is do -ing remarkably well-everybody S is prosperous- all due to the Re a publican party, of course-why e not let well enoungh alone !" If - there is prosperity in the land, it d sin spite of and not on account of ~the ruling party, it is through the labor of the toiling millions, 1 not the work of politicians; t through the unexampled resour y ces, harvests and industries of the m marvelous country, and not re throtugh a notoriously fraudulent r- administration or a corrupt party. te But there is one aspect of this h prosperity which deserves serious d thought. Great prosperity pro. d duces great wealth. Great wealth n is power. It inevitably forms a of class which selfishly, though na rtrly,fonersm its own interest. No government can make the wealth ofa country, but the wealth of a country may make the gov ernment. I heartily despise de magogical appeals against the rich or any one particular class, but this question is so grave that it must- be treated without gloves. The growth of the money power in this country has been fabulous, and its eonnection with, and in terest in, the government is alarming. Our foreign commerce -that is, exports and imports alone amounted to, for the year just cl-sed, how much do you sup pose? Over $1,500,000,000 IN A SINGLE YEAR. There is not one importer and not many exporters who do not de pend directly or indirectly upon the national government. There are 2,048 national banks, with a capital of over $455,000,000 and $713,000,000 of deposits. Alto gether there were last year 6,360 banks, with $656,000,000 of capi tal and $1,893,000,000 of deposits. You know that, more are less, they were directly interested in and on the lookout for Wall street and Washington. Do you know that we have about as many miles of railroad ip this country as all Europe ? Actually we have over 80,000 miles of railroad, or more than England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, all Germany, all France, all Austria, all Hungary, all Italy and all Russia combined. Do you know that the amount of money interested in our railroads, capital and funded debt is $4,589, 000,000, or more than twice the amount of the national debt? Last year the receipts of our rail roads amounted to $529,000,000, or more than twice the amount of the total revenue of the national government, and though the five years after the panic of'73 were the worst ever known, they still managed to divide for the last ten years $700,000,000 in dividends. The capital invested in manufac tures and industries is fabulous. There are over four thousand du tiable articleson our glorious tariff, and there is hardly a manufactu rer under our present system of protection who does not have to look to Washington for tartiff le gislation. Now, nearly all these powerful interests are united in the support of the Republican par ty. So, of course, 'are the 100,000 office-holders. To all of them Re publican rule means personal pros perity sure enough. But the masses of the people may stop to remember that history does not show a single republic that did rot perish after its people became too rich. No republic perished while it was poor. No republic lived after it became too rich. History has no exception to this rle-that as long as republics are poor they arc pure. As they grow and become richer and richer, cor ruption grows, p)ublic virtue de clines and popular self-govern ment becomes difficult and decays. This is the teaching of Rome and Greece. It is the lesson of his tory. It is the danger of this re public-the very fact that it is almost incredibly different and changed fr-om what it was when it was founded--the very fact that it is no longer poor, but rich, daily growing richer. We all want prosperity, but not at the expense of liberty. Pover ty is not as great a danger to lib eryas wealth, with its corrupting demoralizing influences. Suppose all the influences I have just re viewed were to take their hands off instead of sup)porting the Re publican party, would it have a ghost of a chance of success ? Let us have prosperity, but never at the expense of liberty, never at the expense of real Relf goverment, and let us never have a govern ment at Washington owing its re ten tion to the power of the mil lionaires rather than the will of the millions. THE ARGUMENT AGAINST CHANGE AN ARGUMENT FOR A MONARCHY. Point No. 3 is that the Demo crats are terribly hungry for a place, and that a change in the 100,000 offices of the country would be a calamity-would, in the language of Mr. Schurz, take the vm-y machinery ot the gov. ernment into pieces-would be something dreadful tb contem plate. But this is a direct argu ment in favor of a permanent gov ernment-a permanent office-hold ing dynasty. If we cannot afford to change the ruling party because that means the change of 100,000 office holders, we shall certainly be much less able to do so four, eight or twelve years hence, when the power and number of these office holders will be much greater. In my opinion a change of adminis. tration does not imply a change in every office of the cointry. Nor would such sweeping changes be desirable. But to hold that the country. cannot afford to elect Hancock simply because of the offie-holdeis who would lose their places is to give up the very spirit of our institutions, the character of a representative re public based upon government by political parties, their accounta bility to the people and frequent changes. If we cannot have a change now we can never have one. If Mr. Schurz's argument against a change because it would put the ins out and the outs in iE good to-day, it will be still better in the future, and we might at well settle down to the idea of a permanent party dynasty as irre movable and irresponsible as it it reproachable - the monarchical idea in Republican clothes. THE SOLID SOUTH. Point No. 4 is the cry about the solid South. .I. understand the Re publican positign to be this-that it is a great political crime for tea Southern States to be all Demo cratic, but it would be the highest political virtue for twenty-tw Northern States to be all Repub. lican. A solid South is monstrous, a solid North sublime-according to Republican logic. Now, what is there in all this cry? When the war closed every Southern State was made Republican by force. They were put under mil itary rule. Next they were pul under the rule of thieving carpet baggers. To make Republican rule permanent a million negroeE just emerged from slavery wer( made voters and masters over th( disfranchised whites. What en sued you know-the most mon strous misgovernment, robbery and corruption, probably, the world ever saw. Then the South was solid for the Republicans. Bal a reaction had to come. It came Gradually these Southern States regained local self-government. T< them Republicanism meant rob bery, oppression, and govern men1 from Washington, govern ment sel up by bayonets and kept up by bribery. Democracy meant loca self-government. There was n< alternative-they had to becom< Democratic. There was no othei place to go to, and the Republicar party itself is aldbe responsible foi it. There is not a single State it the North that would not hav< done the same thing under th< same circumstances. The Repub lican party had the South at its feet and could have made out of it what it pleased. Had it acted with real statesminship and wis dontr it could have saved it. But in its anxiety to force the South to be Republican it employed and tolerated methods so gross and re volting that they produced a re action. If there is a solid South~ to-day t-he Republican policy and leaders are responsible fore it. Now what has the South done since 1868, when it was Republi can ? if you believe partisan lies the Southern people are exclu sively engaged in buli-dozing, kill. ing negroes, organizing for an other rebellion and general thrift lessness and depopulation. But the highest Republican authority pronounces this infamous. Nc less than GENERAL GRANT, returning from his last tryl through the South. Now, what deed or crime, I ask, has she committed since she ceased to be Republican to deserve sc much villification ? I will tell yon in figures and facts taken from Republican authorities. -OVER ONE-THIRD OF ALL OUR EX. PORTS are raised in and by the South. According to the most eminent Republican statisti.-an in the coun try-,- Edward Atkinson; of Bostofi the value of the la.ten cotton crops alone was not less than $2, 500,000,000, -and- probabl$3,000, 000.000. 'two-tbirds .4this has been expo ted-which n'hs that for one 'single staple produced by the "rebels" during the last ten years this country received the enormous sum-of 2,000-miflios-in gold,: more than theetf-eesos tidnat deUt, from Europe.That this was largely due, to the opera tions of regaind self-government is shown by the simple fact that while the cotton produced in the four years of carpet-bag rule of 186,~'67, '68 and '69, amounted to about 8462,000.000; in the years 1876, '77, '78 and 79, under Demo cratic rule, it amounted to over $951,000,000, or absolately - MORE THAN TWICE AS MUCH, an increase of over 100 per cent., an addition to the national wealth in four years alone from a single staple of $500,000,060 as the differ ence btween Republicanism and Democracy. If you look at any Republican almanac you will see that or the $2,978,000,000 of agri cultural exports between 1865 and 1871, the products of the South alone amounted to about $1,546, 000,000. if you believe that emi nent Republican, Mr. Atkinson, thd value of the cotton crops of 1870-79 was, as I said ~before, about 83,000,000,000. Now, is all this the r6sult of bull-dozing, the ku-klux and South ern outrages and rebel rule?-Were these glorious rebel deeds com mitted under Republican carpet. bag rule or Democracy? Can such results be due to -the shot gun, the ku-klux or the tissue ballot. ? Slavery is dead.. - Seces sion is dead. State sovereignty is dead. The Union is no longer in danger because there is too little power at Washington, but on the contrary becau6e' tbere is too much. We have rushed from one extreme to another, from secession to centralization and imperialism. As we killed secession, we must kill centralization. As we de stroyed the slave power, - let us/ now destroy fraudulent- one-man power and the money power in nolitics. All these have their abode in the Republican minority. If the republic will -not destroy the Republican party, the Repub -lican party will certainly destroy the republic. To keep the Repub lican party in power is to give it a vote of confidence. To give it a vote of confidence is to endorse and -approve -the great theft of the Presidency. To approve that is to encourage and invite its repetition, not only by itself hat by other parties in the fat.ure. To retain the Republican party after -- all it has done is virtually to de eldare that political parties ma'y do as they please, they -will not be held responsible. Upon these-ideas we demand a change. -We demand the election of Hancock aind the success of theiDemocraCy. -We de mand it not for the sake of. party, but for the vindication of liberty. We demand it not for the sake of the offices, but to preserve the republic! How A WATER SNAKE PIsHEs. A correspoudent, writing from Planto, Texas, descri bes as follows the manner in which a moccasin used his body as a sort of eieve in catch ing small fish. His_soakeehip. was in a shallow pool 4bounding in minnows, and was briskly twist ing and turning in a;!l directions, giving his body as many convul sions as possible to inclose the fish or force them into narrow spaces between him and the bank, in either case the fish would endeav or to escape by leaping over the snake's body into the water be yond. Meantime the moccasin with elevated head caught the fish in his moddh as they, .passed through the air. They who are fallen lowest remember the heights of virtue, honor, and peace, whose shining they once -beheld, and whose pin nacle they once almost touched. And are we not alin so - and some degree fallant
