The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1892-02-17

failures that respond to the roll call of
mercantile prosperity, consequent
upon the present "best financial sys-
tenn under the sum-! the "&ullness of
| time'' has come for a catechetical ex-
animation of the probabilities and pos
sibilities of the two hundred and fifty
millions that make up the Rockefeller
Estate, the quondan cab-driver, and
yet the man that will soon be able to
girdle the earth with dollars. "What
millions died that Caesar might be
great"
What is the trend Of all these things?
Let US examine only such history as is
even yet not dry upon the paper !; let
US enter into an honest examination of
the actions of our government in the
Chilian matter, and although it cause
US to hang our heads in shame, let Us
witness the anomaly of a Republic;
the Republic of Washington, Of Jefer-
son and Of Jackson; the Land of the
free, and the home of the brave" assist
ing tyrant to enslave brave, chiv-
alrous people, who are struggling to
form a government like to our own,;;s
thereby securing themselves the price
less boom of fa@ 'liberty" (MI "0s,
and that too through an unwelcome
tool who claims to be an "Irishman."
II have one drop Of any blood in me,
save Irish, I do not know it, and I for
one repudiate, disown, the traitor'to
the principle which fires the brain
and swells the heart ofevery true son of
Erin. Will our government further
stultify itself by imposing on the weak
in tie countenance of Egan as minis
ter to Chill, or will it remain upon the
eminence upon which Chilian opinions
and concessions have placed it, and
recall the shame of the nation, or bet
ter yet expatriate him, and let him
answer to Chilians for his crimes
against Chill. But may this not be
part OF programme to impoverish the
people, and then accustom them to
think that there is no great harm in
tyranny and monarchy, after all?
Don't Understand from what I have
said. that I, or that any honest man has
the slightest objection to opulence,
honestly acquired far fromit 1 know
of very few who would not entertain
feelings of admiration for the man
who, by dint Of energetic means, over
comes the thousand and one obstacles
that lie across the path of most Of US,
rises superior to them all, carrying with
him the consciousness of no wrong
done to his fellow man; such an one is
ever the recipient of my heartiest well
done, so long as his honor is untarnish-
ed by the glamour of gold.
In conclusion the masses are advised
that the guage of battle is lying at
their feet, and they are well satisfied
that such is the fact, and are simply
awaiting the voice Of the 'herald," an
nounciDg the order of procedure, when
it will be taken up and flung into the
faces Of the challengers with folce
that will convince them that the earth
is yet short of a sufficient quantity of
god for the enslavment of the yeoman-
ry of our country regardless of occupa-
tion or class affliation. This will be no
war Of words, but Influenced by COM
munity of interest, you will see the
farmers ranks interspersed with volun-
teers from all other vocations, ready to
do battle for the trustful eyes that look
to them for protection. The solution
Of the problem is ours. Let us not leave
it as heritage of woe to our children.
Respectfully,
Jerusalem Street. Feb. 9th. 'o2
