MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY BREAD
ALONE.

Amidst all this blooming OF the
State" in material development, and
reorganization of military equip
mept, there radiates a single indi-
cation of an intellectual renaissance.
w. T. W. Barbe, of the Parkers-
burg JORrR0l, has taken charge of
the literary department of the West
Virginia School Journal, and in
three numbers has given the State
more genuine and instructive ma.
terial of bellies lettreS than he has
ever enjoyed from any other source
whatever. President Turner, of the
West Virginia University, has con-
tributed an original and interesting
chapter of history upon Stonewall
Jackson. In the March number,
Virgil Lewis follows this up by an
equally interesting paper upon Gen.
William Darke, of Revolutionary
fame. This number contains also a
categorical answer from many dis
tinguished literati as to which, in
their opinion, is the best poem.
These articles above would be worth
the subscription to the Journal
Man does not live by bread alone.
The triumps of civilization are, af-
ter all, triumphs OF mind. Those
having the interest of the State at
heart, ought to subscribe for the
Journal.

INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY,
Baltimore Sun.

Some of the most pressing politi-
cal and social questions of the day
turn upon the social duties and re-
lations of men. The regulation or
prohibition of the liquor traffic, the
means 30 be adopted to prevent
abuses by monopolies on the one
hand and by striking labor organi-
cations on the cther-these subjects
and the questions to which they
give rise turn upon the rights of the
Individual in his relation to society,
and upon the power and authority
of organized society to regulate the
conduct of individuals. The best
interests of the people require that
lust relations should be maintained
between individual liberty and gov
ernmental authority. An increase
of either at the expense of the other
is sure to bring with it evils of some
kind, but just where to set the di
viding line is a difficult problem
that besets our Legislators. The af-
vorite plan is to patch up some kind
of compromise on each question as
it arises without any very serious
attempt to discover true guide to
action, and politicians of the time
serving class find in such DISPOSE
ton convenient opportunities for
forming coalitions by which TO ride
into power. Thoughtful people,
however, desire something better
and more enduring than compro
mise settlement, leaving the issue
still undecided. They want touch
stone of principle that will guide
them to consistent and rational an
swers to social questions as they
arise, and this is to be found only
bv due consideration of the rights
and liberties of the individual and
the extent to which it has been nec-
essary for him to surrender a. part
of those rights and liberties in or
der to form with others a social
structure with a governing head.
As the quack offers one remedy for

The public cannot fail to observe
that certain men in this State, of
acknowledged ability and establish
ed integrity, have been trying for
years to rouse voters to the import
ance of curbing the growing power
of railroad managers. The people
cannot fail to observe that these
men are carefully excluded from
every place which offers opportunity
to effectively reach the public ear or
to be of real use to the masses. 1t
would be well for the more intelli-
gent voters to consider why it is,
that the Legislature fails to carry
out the popular judgment? 1t would
be well to consider whether the ma
chinery of the party is not employed
to exclude the men who, if in office,
would serve the people as faithfully
as railroad attorneys serve their cor
porations? Recollect, if man ex-
hibits ability, then, unless he wears
a collar, the entire railroad lobby
band together to create popular
prejudice against him.

The jealousy of monopOlies is by
no means new. The provision in
the Constitution forbidding the Gre
alton of privileged classes, and the
passing of laws in favor of special
classes, tcas aimed at erilS ,ceH
kaOwa ia former years, and always
to be guarded against.
More than two centuries ago Sir
John Culpeper, in a speech in "the
Long Parliament" use language on
a theme now grown terribly famil
lar. OF mOnopolies and fieecers of
the masses then existing he said:
'.They are a nest Ofwasps-a swarm
of vermin which have overcrept the
land.-Like the frogs Of Egypt they
have gotten possession of our dwell
ings and we have scacre room free
from them. They sup in our cup;
"they dip in our dish; they sit by
"our fire. We find them in the dye
''fat, wash bowl, and powdering tub.
"They share with the butler in his
"box. They will not bait us a pin.
ave may not bay oar clothes NTH
SOFT their brOk0ge. These are the
''leeches that have sucked the COM
'monwealth so hard that it is al
"mOst hectical. Mr.. Speaker! L
shave echoed to you the cries of the
"kingdom. 1 will tell you their
"hores. They look to HeaceR for a
blessing on this Parliament"
In words that now seem quaint
this sturdy commOner pointed to the
wrongs and to the remedy of his
day, with a force that lapse Of time
has not diminished, and unless
something is done by Congress un-
der the blessings of Heaven, the
curses of outraged millions will find
effective vent ere long.

Macaulay, in his history, (voL l,
p. $50 graphically tells Of the tri-
umph in 1901, of the protests in
England against monopoly.
The queen took upon herself to
"grant patents of monopoly by
sscores. There was scarcely a fam
silly in the realm that did not feel
itself aggrieved by the oppression
"and extortion which the abuse nat
"urally caused. Iron, oil, vinegar,
"cOaI, lead, starch, yarn, leather,
"glass, could be bought only at ex-
"orbitant prices. The House OF
Commons met in an angry and de
"termined mood. The language OF
'the discontinued party was high
land menacing, and was echoed by
1.-The voice of the whole nation"
The consequence was that her
Majesty escaped shame and disgrace
on her reign, by redressing the
grievances, and thanking the Com
mons for their dutiful regard for
the common veal.

THE DEMOCRATS AND THE TAR.
IFF.
n. Y. Standard.

Mr.. Teller, in addressing the
United States Senate on the Presi-
dents message. declared that Mr.
Cleveland and his friends have not
engaged in an attack on a defective
tariff with a view to remedying in
constituencies and defects, but that
they have sought to destroy the pro-
tective system as "vicious, inequita-
BILE and illogical" Mr.. Teller
quoted Senator Colquitt's declara-
tiun that the democratic party has
always been free trade party, and
then. strangely enough, undertook
to combat the statement, though, as
a republican, it would seem to be to
his interest to prove it true.
The most cursory study or ourpo-
litical history would have taught
Senator Teller that many former
presidents have uttered more radi-
cal free trade opinions than IAN be
found in Mr.. Clevelands's message,
and that the Tilden platform of
1876 was by no means the first dem
ocratic declaration in favor of tar
if for revenue only. In the ear
lier days of the republic the custom
of making formal declarations of
principle ut the beginning of each
campaign did not exist, and
the nearest approach to mod
ern platform to be found is the
declaration of principles made by
the congressional caucus that nomi-
mated Thomas Jefferson before his
first election. That caucus declar-
ed for Stree commerce ,cih all ma
tons, political connection with none,
and little or no diplomatic estab-
lishment." Thenceforward there
was no further formal enunciation
of principles until 1886, the decla
rations made by the Presidents in
their messages being usually accept
ed as the utterances of the party.
When Martin Van Buren, was nomi-
mated in 1886 a platfotm was adopt
ed, but the tariff was not then an is
sue, and the platform was chiefly de-
voted to denouncing the legislative
creation of monopolies and vested
rights, and it declared the sound
doctrine that "every law or act Of
incorporation passed by the preced-
ing legislatures can be rightfully al
tered or repealed by their success
ors."
Thenceforward it became the GUS
tom to make platforms, and that of
1910 declared that "no more rerenpe
ought to be raised than as required
to defray the necessary expenses Of
the Government" In 1874 this
platform was reaffirmed. The con-
vention Of 184S repeated in its plat
form the exact words of that of

THE REASON.
A friend in Washington writes

A friend in Washington writes:
Iconstantly hear politicians speak
disparagingly of the DEMOCRAT, and
yet among the people l hear nothing
but commentator. Every man who
holds an Office, or wants one, decries
you, while persons, not asking to ne
fed at the public crib and who are
not strikers for the railroad clique,
tell me that yours is the only paper
speaking their sentiments. The
queer thing is, nobody takes issue
with you on any subject.
We are well aware that this paper
is not popular with the politicians
referred to; they have no thought
except to obtain reelection by being
subservient to the railroad lobby.
The mere place hunter, content with
drawing salary out Of the pockets
of tax payers, cannot conceive why
any man should bother himself
about public affairs unless he makes
money out of politics. We expected
to be boycotted by such politicians,
but we have an abiding faith that
the more intelligent citizens will
presently appreciate the value to
them of paper like this. Of course
all who thrive by suppressing the
character of information we publish !;
all who wish to prevent agitation
and discussion; all who scheme to
keep the geese quiet while being
plucked; in word, all who share
the profits of plundering the unor-
ganized masses, have personal
motive to cry down this paper and
hinder its circulation. There are
many interested to exclude the truth
from the public ear, and there are
very few whose concern for the COM
mon veal is sufficient to induce them
to spend even one dollar or give an
hours time to promote honest gov
eminent and wise legislation. But
the salvation of this State depends
upon these few, who find pleasure
in trying to save the people from be-
ing fleeced worse than they are now
being fleeced. Were it not for few
men, such as those writing for these
columns, West Virginia would in
deed be in bad way. We are not
surprised certain politicians decry
this paper, but We are surprised that
intelligent men, in private life, do
not exert themselves to extend our
circulation.

1910. but added after the word gov
eminent" 'and for the gradual but
certain extinction of the debt Great
ed by the prosecution of a just and
necessary war" In 1852 the tariff
plank was amended in lS4S was
adopted without change, and it was
reaffirmed in the elaborate platform
of 1856. on which stood the last
Dempcratic candidate elected before
the civil war. The party split in
1860. but both conventions reaf-
firmed that portion of the platform
of 1856, which included the tariff
plank as amended in 1874, SO that
1t is historical fact that the un-
broken policy of the democratic par
ty from 1910 to 1860 was that OF a
tariff for revenue only.
The convention OF 1864, which
made its famous declaration about
the -four years Of failure to restore
the union bv the experiment Of
war;" confined itself exclusively to
the war issues, as did also the re-
publican convention held the same
year. In the platform Of 1868 there
is a confused declaration in favor of
"a tariff for revenue" and such in
ternal revenue laws las will afford
incidental protection to domestic
manufacturers" while the conven-
ton of 1872, which nominated Hor-
ace Greeley, RENTED the question
to the people of the several congress
sional districts. In 1875 the party
came back to its ancient faith, and
after severely denouncing the exist
ing tariff, demanded that all GUS
tom house taxation shall be for rev.
enue only" and the convention of
1880 reaflirmed the declaration of
1876. Thus it will be seen that, ex-
cept during the period of its demon
aiization during and after the civil
war, the democratic party has main
tanned unbroken its affirmation that
"no more revenue ought to be raised
than is required to defray the neces
sary expenses of the government"
and has never repudiated the decla-
ration made in the Jefferson cam
paign for free commerce with all ma
tions. Senator Teller is therefore
greatly mistaken in saying that Mr..
Cleveland is the first free trade
democratic president and that the
doctrine of tariff for revenue only
was never heard of in a democratic
platform until 1876.
The truth is that the party's pro-
fessions in this matter have for
long time been far>better than its
performance, and the present effort
in congress to really reduce the tar
iff is the least that honest democrats
could assent to, even in view Of the
platform of 1884, the tariff plank in
which is one of the poorest the par
ty has ever adopted.
The Presidents message has tore
ed the issue and it must be discuss
ed. Instead of assuming that pro-
lection is something too sacred to be
questioned, the republicans must
now offer evidence that it is of any
benefit at all, and the democrats
must join issue with them and show
that protection is burden and a
humbug, or go the wall. The bat
tie has begun on these lines in con-
gress, and when transferred, few
months hence, to the arena of pub
lic-debate, it will have to be fought
cut on the same lines there.

more learned doctors ditferentiate
diseases and find that some social
ed maladies are only symptoms OF
natures effort TO cure deeper
seated trouble, so the serious stu
dent of social disorders finds that
monopolies or trusts, strikes and
lockouts, intemperance, and other
social manifestations apparently re-
curing Legislative treatment, are
not to be Unfortunately classed
by their common names and treated
alike, hut must be separately con-
sidered with respect to the right
and duty of society tn interfere with
their course. A monopoly may be
conceived that shall not be an evil
but, without interference with the
rights of other people, shall promote
the public welfare. A great savings
institution or great railroad, hon
estlv managed, may be classed in
this category. A strike may take
place which, though it may incident
ally incommode the general public,
does not trench upon the rights OF
any one; that is TO say, the strikers
forced to quit work because of in
sufficient pay or bad treatment may,
nevertheless, abstain from interfer-
ence with other workmen. In eth
tr of these supposable cases there
can be no excuse for governmental
interference. What, then, is neces-
sary to justify society through it's
administrative officers in any at
tempted regulation or suppression
of trusts on the one hand or strikes
on the other /? 1t is only when the
monopoly begins TO trench upon the
individual rights of competitors, as
is now the case with some of the
great trusts seeking to crush out
competition in various necessaries OF
life, or when the strikers, not con-
tent with refusing to work, attempt
to prevent other people from work
ing, that society or the government
is justified in interfering, and this
only for the protection of individual
rights of liberty. This is the touch
stone to be applied to many social
questions that from time to time
rise to such material Importance as
to be made the subject of political
action. Is the personal liberty of
any man or set of men abridged by
the actions Interpretations or organ
lied societies or the operation of un-
just laws If so, a wrong is done
requiring correction by government
al agency, and, if necessary through
legislative action. The roet of
these evils lies in the selfish dispo
sition of men to seek an advantage
at the expense of other people;
sometimes in the fanatic desire to
secure what seems to be laudible
object without regard to the opin-
ions or desires of other people. One
of the first duties of. citizenship is
tolerance and such real love of liber-
ty as leads one to guard it for 9th
ers as for ones self. Such toler-
ance and such broad views of the
meaning to be attached to liberty,
if generally diffused, would do away
with many of the evils which are
now the subject of quack legislation
and lead where legislative action is
required, to such enactments as
would protect individual liberty,
while preventing abuse of privileges
by either workmen or capitalists.
