HAYES ON PUBLIC DONATIONS.

In recent address delivered by cx-Presi-
dent Rutherford b. Hayes. lie expressed the
opinion that there was sacred obligation
resting upon every man who had accumulated
an enormous fortune, to devise a gOodly part
Of it upon his death to he people Of the COM
munity in which he had lived, and through
whom he had in measure secured so extra
ordinary degree of success in his affairs.
This address was delivered in Cleveland. o. -.
the city Of millionaires. and therefore, had
special application 70 the temporary environ
ment Of the speaker.
Without commenting upon the correctness
OF the sentiment uttered by Mr.. Hayes. or
discussing it in the light Of the example
which has been set by such men as Peter
Cooper, Peabody and Corcoran, men whose
memories are held in the highest honor and
veneration on account Of their noble benefac-
tions for public uses. there is one suggestion
prompted by the remark of the ex-President
that IS not unworthy Of note.
liProbably Mr.. Hayes did not have in mind
The general economic system under the
operation Of which the great fortunes of
80 many of his Cleveland hearers had been
made, system which had benefited the few
toa phenomenal extent az the expense Of the
many, but disinterested listener might well
have inferred that the words Of the ex-Presi-
dent had their origin in an uneasy conscious
ness that il was necessary for men who had
acquired their wealth in such way 10 have
recourse TO philanthropic acts TO purge them
selves Of certain amount Of odium incurred
in the process. II was an application of the
old principle governing the conduct Of SO

Is turning partial somersault on the question
of reciprocity. And if he did not chuckle
while writing II he must be sadly deficient in

reading it, that there was a dark and deep

mier aud tear from him the old flag of Eng

rated from the dear old flag. Behold
mo in my great act of waving it in the
face of traitors But as a matter Of fact there
is no such conspiracy and instead Of really
fighting tooth and nail the traitors whose
yelled treason he so eloquently denounces
he is actually adopting their policy on the re-
ciprocity question. with this important differ
ence. however, that while the reciprocity adj
vOcated by the Liberals is entirely feasible
the sort Of reciprocity now proposed by Sir
John Is simply a fantastic chlmera Sir John

tunes Of Secretary Blaine, confidently pre-
dict that the expansion OF commerce WIN lne

reciprocity treaties will be the predominant
issue in the Presidential campaign OF 1872
This is quite possible, unless the Democrats
in the next Congress should give the kepuo-

the Free Silver Coinage act In that case the
qnestion of a deprecated monetary standaf9s
would be- likely to push the Mckinley tarln
and reciprocity both together INTO the o"cA-
ground. .,.os
There is no doubt that the Blaine idea OF
reciprocity has made progress among those
who shrink from the more logical, compr,e-
hensive and effective policy of attaining me
same ends by tariff reform. But the peino-
Gratis have no cause to complain of inns re
