CONGRESS AND AMERICAN CULTURE


The article in the July number of the
Atlantic Monthly" by General GARFIELD
entitled "a Century in Congress-" is evil
IDENTIFY the result of much careful historical
research, and is interspersed with many
valuable observations upon the philosophy
of our political institutions. He concludes
his article with some very suggestive Ol,srr
ratiOns upon Congress ~ an exponent of
the morality and the political character and
culture Of the American people.
We think Mr.. GARFIELD does not over
estimate the Importance of Congress Us an
index of the relative progress of the Repub-
lie in virtue culture and refinement. He
takes very hopeful view Of our national
morality, and holds that the average moral
tone Of Congress is higher to-day than nj
any previous time in our history. This
statement may seem incredible to many,
vet lis correctness Is very satisfactorily sub
stantiated by well authenticated historical
| facts.
| As 10 intellectual culture the condition of
the nation is not 81 satisfactory We have
been making such rapid progress in the
material development Of the country that
the talents most in demand have been of
the practical kind acquired in the stern con
fiCts OF business life rather than the
scholarly attachments which are the result
of much time spent in the halls OF learning
or IN the ulcoNeS Of rich libraries, Wealth
and the power it gives are now tn" supreme
objects ol American ambition. In the
earlier days Of the Republic intellectual
culture AMI moral worth were more highly
esteemed than now, and it is therefore not
| surprising that statistics show that there
are at present relatively lrwcr graduates in
public life than there were at the time the
| Republic was founded.
| II appears that Of the Congress which
lasted from III to l1iS, one third were
graduates, and that one third embraces
nearly every name which has been trans
mitlcd to pOstcrity rs conspicuous in the
work Of framing our free institutions. The
present influences all tend to force men OF
culture into the background. The recent
iabOrious researches OF President BARNARD
show that the propogtiomatc number Of stu
dents attending college has been gradually
| icssenng instead Of increasing with the in
lcasing wealth Of the country. While
such state of things lasts the influence ri
intellectual culture must continually di-
| minish.
This subject is worthy Of the most
| huughtlml consideration. II is an admit
| ed inct that rs class our public men will
,pt compare In breadth of culture with
hose Of Europe md consequently they arr
iot rs well qualified as they to graphic
