Congress and Reputation


We cannot see that the readiusters have
made any Roadway in the matter OF putting
"forcib.e readjusters :" in Congress. The
first suggestion of the issue Of forcib'e re-
adjustment being carried into the congress
sional elections was astonishing to all men
of calm dispositions and sincere intentions.
What on earth has member Of Congress to
do with the matter Of settling the public
debt? In what way would the views OF q
congressman upon this subject be Of practi-
cal use in Congress? There was no practi-
cal sense and no good in agitating the debt
question in the congressional elections.
Those who urged that it should nc done
knew and know this as we'll as anybody
.elss. And the inference is not aYoidable
that these persons hoped that the forcble re-
adjusting candidates would stand better
chance of being elected by the agitation than
they would without it.
1t is entirely in keeping with the plan OF
the regulators that this agitation should
be pressed. There are considerable num-
Der Of readjusting de magogues who have
gone too far in their support OF their radi-
cal and seditions policy to hope for success
by pausipg in their course. Unless they
can be elected by making their destructive
and disorganizing doctrines appear merlto-
rious before the people they, must utterly
fail. Therefore it is a matter OF political
life OF, death with these desperate men.
Their straitGs apparent, and in pressing
their agitation they are. only pursuing their
own selfish objects. and in no sense endeaY-
orins to promote the good OF society or the
endsoi Justice and honesty. .s,,
