A STRUGGLE FOR RIGHTJ 1 REAL MEANING OF PROGRESS1VEISM IN POLITICS. iv True Politician is He Who Seeks the Advancement of His Fellows, as Rather Than Himself. v. Leaving all politics out of the question, easily the most striking development at Filbert last Friday, was in at that portion of Senator McLaurin's e- address which undertook to explain ftio eicnifinonrto nf PrnuTOCcivpnoec ir? | ui^ CibUiUtUUVV Wi. A. * ^ - ^i. st politics. The speech was remarkable e, in that it was different from anything of a political nature that has been Q- previously heard from a South Carow lina rostrum. Here is what the speaker had to say on the subject: Fellow Citizens: I am not here to talk politics further than what is in accord with the relation which every good citizen IS . ^ bears to his fellow man. Nor am I 1S here, (as often heralded.) as the evangel of a new dispensation, either s~ religious or political. in I want to talk about cotton, for I have an extract from the New York V. World, showing how Congressmen to Ragsdale and Henry of Texas, have the new currency bill held up. trying a- to amend it. so as to embrace every to principle contained in the warehouse bill, which is now on the calendar of ie the state senate. They are having a rs hard fight against intrenched privilege, but sooner or later, the volume of monev must be made to bear its ie true relation to the products for exw change. It has become a common thing to ^^ ?? U AO 1 1 /\/l nrvAn sxietl" ct i men vv uu icci tancu uyuu. iu s' follow a public career as "politicians." The word has come to mean d to thousands, a low, dirty intriguer a with no ambition save the promotion of his personal interests. The only is statesmen are dead politicians. As 1- long as one is alive he is surrounded by the fires of hate and suspicion?a r center for the attack of harpies, who k care nothing for the welfare of the people they pretend to serve. So many men have small ability coupled e ^ with vaulting ambition: these can protect nothing, and only rise by pulling others down, and pointing out )_ the defects of any plan that does not 5~ include the promotion of their ambition. A gang of wolves, when one of ,r~ their number is wounded, always stops long enough to devour their 1, brother, then give tongue in pursuit y of fresh prey. These men are not i. politicians, they are human wolves, c] ever crouching in terror at the feet n of power, but ready at any moment > to turn and drink the heart blood, while licking the hand of the master. r The true politician is called of God, ' as much as he who expounds His holy >1 word: he battles for his fellow man through good and evil report; he suf- < ^ ~ ^ "U ^ ? vrnnT- aP trif nrvnr_ ItJIS Lilt SlIULgS <3.iiU anuno yjL uvui/tiation; if in human weakness he fal0 ters and mistakes the road he hears ,v ' through the dark hours the voice calling and rises, girds up his loins and , ;r presses on; he bears with patience lt and forgiveness the doubt and suse picion of those for whom he would gladly give his life, and like the Man t- of God, he has no reward except in >- the next world. "Well done, thou n good and faithful servant." You old- ; er men know the conditions that exd isted twenty years ago, and all of , r you know them as they exist today, o There have been tremendous changes for the better. How have they been ? brought about? By men who fought , e error in spite of popular clamor, who 0 pointed out the way of progress, with no thought of its effect on personal f or political fortunes. You remember that greatest of all ( ^ popular movements the Farmers Alliance, with its hated and despised sub-treasury plank. Today a presi- , ' dent and congress is trying to devise 1 a currency reform based upon this , ' very principle. A government com; mission is travelling Europe, study " 111?> tliC Ui aglRUHUiUi \,a.v/viavw >t abroad, and that all the sub-treasury y meant with a view of making the products of the farm a basis of credit. Every one of the great leaders of >f the Alliance went down under the v load of abuse, many of them broken g hearted. Yet today the speeches of e Peffer, Polk, Tom Watson and "Sockless" Jerry Simpson, read like pror phecies. Their work was not in vain, ^ even though others reap where they sowed. We older men remember j k how sweet those doctrines sounded L_ and how just and right. ; You remember how the entire rep11 resentation in congress from South Carolina, on all financial questions, were pledged to stand by these demands and not the caucus of a politi- , >f c-al party. The Democratic party at i. that time, dominated by Wall street e interests, went completely to pieces. , *s then after years of struggle, in the i, last election the Republican party o went to pieces, and the Democratic it party went into power with Bryan o and Wilson, as the culmination of a the great up-lieavel set in motion >r twenty-five years ago by the farmers 5- of the west and the south. You were told then that no matter how it re J suited, you would never be benefit-1 ted, but this is not true. Let me j ask you older men, who remember the beginning of this fight, to note the prosperous, contented and well to do appearance of the people who j make up this great audience, then look back and contrast this crowd, with the anxious faces, and the generally poverty stricken appearance in the campaigns about IS90. They told you then that the practical realization of that revolution meant ruin to all. I ask you today, who has been hurt? Such prosperity as has come to the farmers of the west and south, has been shared by all other classes of inH T want tn tpll vnn. that ?111U * ?> v v w vw?. k ^ y this is only the beginning, for if we continue steadfast and faithful the rewards for productive labor are greater than any yet received. Those who clothe and feed this world are entitled to the greater share of its comforts and luxuries, and they receive less. It is a common thing to hear this man or that lay claim to being, the discoverer of progressive principles, but I want to say to you my friends, that progressive principles are as old as the history of man. You will find the fundamentals laid down in the book of Genesis. If you will read your Bible and then profane history, you will see that the question through all the ages has been the vain and ruinous struggle of man made government to supersede and overthrow the government framed and perfected by Almighty God. The difference between these contending ideas has overthrown empires and built civilization. Man made government has ever been arrogant, selfish and cruel, while the theocracy which God established for Israel is the perfection of charity and justice, contributing to the peace, comfort and happiness of each individual in exact proportion to his or her capacity for enjoyment. The only perfect government that the world has ever seen was established by God four thousand years ago, its force and power is evidenced by the fact, that the Hebrews, though scattered for 2,000 years over all the world, are 1 as distinctly a nation today as they ; were then. On the other hand every strictly man made government that has ever existed has been based upon the idea of the domination of the few < over the many. They have either. 1 fallen into decay and perished, or 1 saved themselves, as we are doing, by , the gradual adoption of the cardinal ; principles of the old Israelitish theocracy. And I am here to tell you that what we call "Progressiveism"in American politics, elected Woodrow Wilson president, and is nothing more or less than a revolt against selfish man made government, back to original principles as comprehended in our Declaration of Independence. The American revolution was the grandest and most important event in the world's history since the birth of Christ, and on yonder little mountain, only ten miles from here, your forefathers fought the battle, which'made that revolution an actual realty. That battle was for God and right; but you and I know that after it was won, ourleaderscould not resist the subtle temptation of ambition, and set up anew, the old principles of privileges for the destruction of which our fathers have poured out their blood. But the eternal principle which God had laid down at the beginning, was defi- I nitely and finally unshackled, and today we can see that the world is coming more and more under its domination. Every intelligent man has noted within the past few years the mighty crystalization of this sentiment. What a similarity there is between the Roosevelt-Taft split in the Republican party, with the split of the gold wing of the Democracy under Palmer and Bucker, against the Progressives of years ago. This means that the Progressives in both old parties are in a majority and will control the Hpstinv nf this countrv. no matter I I which party is in power. I have often asked myself the question, "Why this change of sentiment?" I have heard it explained in many ways, but none of them are satisfactory to me. I will tell you what I think about it. After the revolution the people were ignorant, education was confined to the few. The leaders would shout, "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none," and then go in foregathering for themselves all the special privileges to be had. But about seventy years ^ago the common school idea began to find its birth in a modest way. Then out of the travail and sorrow nf n r-ivil war the slave owning caste ' was destroyed, and a new era dawned, j Privilege and wealth began to be taxed, and servitude and poverty taught; in the schools. That all men are born i free, entitled to the same opportuni- i ties and that privilege is a matter of ! worth, not birth. A great and eternal truth is about to become in this nation a grand and glorious fact. But my friends. I have not come i here to talk about the past, it is of the future and the opportunity now open to the south of utilfzing her cotton crop to become the dominant factor in the financial world. I would not have you think that I regard the question as one of mere money, but I ! recognize the fact, that with wealth goes intelligence, culture and an ever | advancing civilization. Here the senator gave a full exposi- i tion of his well known views of state j owned and operated warehouses for j agricultural products. In the course j of his remarks, he referred with ap-1 proval to an editorial in the News i and Courier on the subject of the proposed 350 tax on contracts for future delivery, saying if it was paid, it would come out of the cotton grower, as every expense from the ginhouse to the factory was deducted from the price paid the planter. The way to do was to give cotton a stable price like the coffee growers of Brazil did. then there would be no bulls and bears, and the exchanges would serve their legitimate purpose as the j coffee exchanges are now doing all j over the world. If you get a doctor 1 who can't diagnose the case, he is apt to give you the wrong medicine and kill you. START YOUR LIVER, DOX'T STOP WORK. ; I Dodson's Liver Tone Acts Mildly, but: Surely. Livens Up the Liver and You Stay On Your Feet. It is the experience of calomel users that if they take enough of the drug j to have the desired effect, it serious-1 ly interferes with their work the day ' after.
