ADDRESS OF W. C. McUOWAN, ESif. |?ftr? the Alumni of tho University of tho South, Sowunoo, Tenn., Delivered August 5th, 1SS6. Mr. Fellow*Member* of the Alumni Association, Ladies and Gentlemen : J* would be ao affectation in me not to aekno#ledge the prido I feci at having been askod to address you upon this occasion, but whilo I do foci proud of the honor you have done me. and deem it a privilege m well aa a pleasure, I am at tho samo time constrained to ask your forbearance. I bare had little or no experieoce io the lino of speech-making outside of my profession, and feeling the natural diffidence and embarrassment that follows inexperience, I can only bespeak your kind indulgence. It does, my fiiends, give mo much pleas ore to bo here. I have to look back through tho vista of but eleven short yoars, and all tho scenes rise fresh before mc, and "The magnet of th? soul, touched by remembrance. Trembles to that pole.'' But time and distance in this consideration havo lit'lo place. The memories of schools and college days are aa fresh and green and delightful to the gray hairs of ripe old age, as to the ardent and impulsivo fire of enthusiastic youth. Tiuio cannot tarnish nor distanco dim, but all, young and old, meet here upon an equal piano, and hold a common heritago of grateful memories in theso Alumni reunions. The sweetest word in huuinn language is Home, and all the highest and noblest impulses of a generous heart cluster around that blessed name. A perfect home'where tho father rules iu wisdom and the motbor reigns in love,' is not only the hopo of nations, but the very bed-rock of civilisation itself, and no climate, no space, and no time can efface or uproot the memories that home influence and a mothers love have planted in the human heart. Is there a scene upon earth so tender, so gracious, ?o happy, so joyous, so beautiful as a fimily reunion '{ When the members of a scattered house forget for the timo their struggles wiih the world and gather from far and near at tho old pater nal homoste.nl, live over tho days of youth and re-visit the haunts of childhood?perhaps the only broak in a chain of sorrow and trouble, and there, apart from the anxiety and tho wear and tear of tho daily battle for bread Mix sobriety with wine And honest mirth, with thoughts divine." If there be unalloyed happiness on this earth, surely lis there and then. Did you evor think how close akin to these sentiments aro the foeliyy-, tv* have for our Alma Muter and those Alumni rc-unious ? Our Maler first,our Ahnu Muter second. Home influence first and college influence a closely following second, develops tho mind and moulds the character of plastic youth, and as (ho twig ia bent so grows the treo. Thero is to uio a strong and striking parallel hotwoon family and Aluuini reunions. They are interwoven as parts of a symmetric whole. Our natural mother, tho fountain source of all that's good in man, begins the work which, if properly followed up by college influences and associations,will send forth lobattlcwiih the world a member of society armed and equipped in character as well as intellect, aud, as Lord Brougham says, ;it will bo his own fault if he looks back upon this place with repentance or with shame ; aud be well assured that whatever time, aye every hour, lie spends hero in unprofitable idleness, will rise up against hiui and be paid for by years of bitter but unavailing regrots.' I wish to-night, however, to speak to y ou briefly, and in a plain, practical manner, of soiiio few of the prominent and important questions that confront us at present and demand solution in the nonr future. But fourteen years will elapso and we crosi the threshold of tho TWKSTlKTIi CKNTt ltY . Mnsf. nf mil fVl<* \liinmi r. (' ll?iu ii. tion, will just then be in the prime and vigor of mature manhood, and upon you, the nation's strength, will fall the heat and burden of tho day. It behooves us all to give these burning questions earnest thought, for 1 tell you, tho oentury will not have doffed her swaddling clothes before the safety, the salvation of our country, will demand a clear and unequivocal demonstration. I, A HO It ANI? CAIMTAr,. The question of first importance to the country at large to-day, is. in my judgment, tho present conflict between labor and c?f>ital. The spirit of unrest which pervades our wholo country, the numerous 'strikes' which clog tho wheels of industry and paralyse our thrift, tho labor unions which, day by day, are gaining strength, all these point with solemn and prophetic linger to the necessity for a sneedv ailimtmnni this trouble. As to llio remedy I <Io not speculate, but I do say this. 1 believe most of the trouble is attributable to two things: 1st. The taking into our midst the out casts and scum ol creation in our craze for immigration. iid. The amassing of enormous individual fortunes by unfair means. I aui uot opposed to immigration If of the right kind it is what wo ncedapd what wo want, but I ain opposed to this whole sate invitation to the convicts and oflcasts of ovcrj European nation ; men who have no sympathy with our government or ourselves, who do not evou know our language, but who conio to America to broak dowu and not to build up. These are the uicu who buve sown the seed that briug forth ' strikes,' 'riots' and ' communism.' For example tako the city of Chicago, tho Into scene of such fearful stiikes and riots. According to a recent cousus its nationalities are: (Jertnan, 220,000 ; American, 154,nnn Stnnnrlin.tr inn TtlHHI Irixh vw, - - -- ..v|vvv; Slavonic, 55,000; English, 30,000; Latin, 16,000; Negroes, 8,000; Canadian, -1,000, and all others, 0,000, making a total population of 650,000. In other words, the Americans are in a minority of 317,000, or as the Now Orleans Timts puts it, 'Chicago is uiort Irish than any city in Ireland save Dublin and Belfast, and more German than Munich, Dresden or Cologne.' Chicago for nil these disgraceful scenes takes the lead of any Northern or Western city, and I believe it is mainly due to her foreign and discordant population. Four-fifths of those arrested in the recent riots oould not speak our language and did not know our form of government. Tell mo that such men make good oitizens, being naturalized as soon as thoy touch the soil nud breathe tho air of our generous Republic ? I cannot Icliovo it. I am a free trader in all clso save human flesh, and I do believe that while the population in our country would not increase quite so fast, our country would bo placed upon a more solid basis of prosperity if every new comer were required to bring testimonials from his government, aud had to pay an impost duty, as it were, before he could land. SPECULATION. I think much of this unrest can be charged too to tho speculators in Wall street, and the fact that our government openly countenances their robberies. Do 1 ..... ... 1...4 i f.. uoi uuuuiovaiiu uil* iu uiat i un in liivor of limiting the right or privilege, of acquiring property ; by no moans, that would he to strike a blow at one of the fundamental principles of our government ? the right of private property. It is the right of any man to make as much money as he can, and to do with his own what he will, but it must be made houestly, jWithout extortion or bribery, lie must not ride into wealth by crushing remorselessly the weak who come within his clutches. The enormous fortunes acquired in this mnnner have much to do witli the spirit of envy and jealousy that is abroad throughout the North. <\ </. It is a known principle of political economy and a universal maxim, that in ull departments of trade and commerce Supply and l>emand regulate l'rices. Notwithstanding this principle, in bold defiance of all preeedeut and principle, the Hulls and Hears of Wall street inflate or depress prices to suit their owu stupenduous speculations. Take cotton, the priuciplc product of the South. We cau, with reasonable certainty tell the number of bales that will he made, know the exact number of spindles iu the world, the consumption and demand, and yet, with all this knowledge, we predict in vain as to the price. It seems to tne there is something radically wrong in this?an undermining of fundamental principles, and most of the great fortunes of the North are made in this way. Houcst labor is A IIIII 1 M ItolnliKQ mill Itnnrinninlnil J ....v. speculators dictatorial masters of the situatiou. The toiling laborer who earns his daily bread in the sweat of his brow and ignorant of these manipulated swindles, is the one who suffers. Can this bo light? Jay Gould has more absolute power, and ' is to-day a greater tyrant over his (JO.OOO employees than was ever a monarch of Medieval Europe. These colossal fortunes enter even our Congressional halls and to a certaia extent control legislation, until it seems they menace our very government. How shall they be controlled and regulated? Young man of the twentieth century, answer. This labor trouble has. as yet. been little felt in the South, for the reas ous that we have no such colossal fortunes, nor arc wc trouble with tho influx of mixed immigration ; hut we aro confronted with tho still more complicated question, TIIF. NP.GHO. This is. par excellence, tho problem of the South. The negro, practically as a laborer, and socially and politically as an equal. As a laborer, if let alone, lie is by , far the best we could have ; strong, docile. ( inured to our hot Southern sun ; with few | wants and happy temperament, lie seems | born to hoc do cotton and de cane, and if , Unai) lit.it*:U and intelligently overlooked, , is as ;i class contented in his state lint ; the trouble is. In is not let alone. Design- ( ine politicians excito him to discontent and ] turn him against his truest friends. Kan- s tics see in him the mission of their lives, and maudlin sontiuioatalist.s parade their , morbid notions till one might think the negro an injured innocent, inhumanly , treated and cruelly persecuted by the heart- 1 less land owners of the South. Hut. suppose that as a 1 iborer he is a failure. What then? He is here in our midst and he is here to stay. It is an indisputable fact seen every day. and which history teaches us has . been true lor all lime, that we cannot mix t the white and black races. Not only will the race antipathy, inextinguishable as it is, prevent their mingling, hut it is an impos sibility from a purely practical and business point of view. Tirj wants of the white man are lnuro numerous aud different from those of the negro. Ho cauuot live under the same conditions nor work for the same wages, aud thercforo as a daily laborer he cannot compete with the negro. Wo must have all uegro labor or none, aud if wo come to tho conclusion that all white labor is best, then what arc wo to do with the uegro? Return hiui to his native land? which is neither Christian nor practicable. Kducat) him until he is our equal ? which is impossible. Or keep him as lie is? incse are questions which the twentieth century will decide. l'or this samo reason, viz: because the races will not mix and labor together as a unit,immigration is withheld from the South and many of our young mcu arc driven from their sunny homes. As 1 said before, immigration, if of the right kind, is the hope of this vast couutry, but what I complain of is that wo are too generous, and while wo get much that is good, we also make America the nsylnm of all who are banished from European countries, and thus inject into our body politic much of evil that might be avoided. 1 think immigration should bo regulated and cua^ "' d but even then, while wo have the uegro, it will never come South. Nor is the objection solely made by the white man. The negro has a scorn and contempt for the white man who will come down to his level, speaking of him as 'poor buckra," poor white trash,' and otherwise showing his entire lack of respect for hiui. That our land is crowded with deserving vount: men, men of industry, ettercv and talent, who cau barely make a living, many of whom must leave to do so, is undoubtedly true. The professions arc overcrowded. In merchandize the numerous failures all over the country show that the merchant who weathers the storm must have capital In back him. There is little demand for skilled labor, and in all departments of life if there be more titan are ueeded, the surplus are consumer*-, t <1 not producers. >/. Take my native town where we have 30 lawyers and business for about lb. If the business could be done by lb and i* divided between 30. the remaining lb are consumers and not producers, and the nott-produccrs arc drones in business, clogs to society, and stumbling blocks to advancement and prosperity. Tho question then naturally arises, What are our young men to do? It would eecm a simple question as simply answered, viz: that here are thousands of uncultivated acres, and all Hint our young tncn linvc to tlo is to put their bauds to the plow and shoulders to the wheel, and our countiy would he strengthened by a vigorous and prosperous yeomanry. Hut the trouble is that our young men do not own the land, and as a mere hireling cannot compete with the negr< Our land is owned, comparatively, by a few who will not part with it except upon terms that the average, young man cannot afford. On the contrary, to own land makes one greedy lor more. It is a significant fact that from time immemorial men have fought for two things, 1'evengo and Land, and men fight for those things they love heat. In former times all disputes were settled by the arbitrament of arms. The tournay was their law court, and the lance was their defence, the belief Icing that (iod gave him the victory who was in the right ; and all nations from the beginning until now have fought for the acquisition of territory. Kngland, upon who?c possessions the sun never sets, has dyed with gallant blood her encircling /one. ii i.' ...l. t . i .. i t ,aiiu I' riiIIui'i ? iif.iri in -j iy ckmi.s (JUICK and fast, is but waiting li ?r oj'pnrtand the rise of another -Cors'iein' to wreak upon (Jermany the direst and bitterest revenge that the human heart can nourish. In our law courts today, men fight longer and harder for land than all else, and the same spirit which nerved tin- arm of the feudal knight, now sharpens the wit and tongue of the legal advocate. Ought our (iovernment to own all the land and parcel it out l' (V, as Henry (ieorge says, ought land to be as free as air to one and all ? The future must decide these fjucstions (iladstone, that great Englishman, who is not in 'he Peerage simply because he has no peer within the borders of Hritain, and around whose untitled head a glory shines in comparison with which the concentrated lustre of all the crowns and cornets of Europe is hut a 'tinselled gewgaw.' (iladstone. the statesman of modern times, has proposed a solu'ion of tliisi|ucstion in the recent l/ind IJiil for Ireland, which, as I undristaiid it, i> lor the (iov rnment t<? buy up all the land of Ireland unl then sell it to the Irish in small tracts, m r \ason.able terms and on h ug time.
