JEFFERsoNIkN PRINCIPLES.
Democrats Talk Much of Them without
Clearly knowing why.

Clearly knowing Why.
Something was said by the banquet
ing democrats between shouts for
Cleveland about ''Jeffersonian prin-
ciples," and about the Jeffersonian
flavoring in Cleveland's character and
a return to ''Jeffersonian principles"
1t is customary for the democrat on
festive occasions to offer many bumpers
of wine as libations to the shade of the
sage of Monticello. A good many dem
ocrats do not know what Thomas JEFF
ferson believed. They have a hazy
idea that jefferson was free trader,
and they are right. The adoption of
Jeffersonian free trade principles as
jefferson really entertained and
nourished them would extirpate the
last vestige of the protective system
in this country and destroy the mag
nificent industrial results of the pro-
tec:ive policy, which are rapidly MAX
ing us the leading manufacturing ma
tion of the world. James Parton, i'll
his tribute to jefferson some years
ago, said jefferson would be a more
positive and sweeping free trader even
than he was in his own lifetime" if he
was living now.
But among 'Jeffersonian principles"
was one which makes the average dem
ocrat vince. jefferson, to his credit DO
it said, was opposed to bossism, as ne
was opposed to the hereditary principle,
and he would have had no sympathy
with the Doran democracy of Mime
sofa or the Tammany democracy Of
New York. He was believer in state
rights to the disintegrating extent, but
the democracy since the occurrences Of
of 1S61-65 has been forced to reliuquish
this "Jeffersonian principle" and for
his doctrine of popular interference
there is comparatively little democratic
fealty since, after deal of talk about
the honors of a centralized federal gov
ernment, the democrats have not only
in congress aided in the tendency to
greater GENERALIZATION, essential in such
a vast government and country as our
wn, but applauded the accidental ad-
ministration of Cleveland, who accepted
the auti-Jeffersonian principle that a
government of laws must have the
principle of energy and coercion. JEFF
ferson's dogma Of popular interference
had the strong tendency to lead the
nation back to the chaos of the old con-
federacy.
When democrats talk about Jeffer-
sonian principles it is well for them to
ascertain exactly what those principles
were. jackson didn't act under them,
Van Buren, didn't, Tyler didn't, Polk
didn't. Buchanan didn't, Cleveland
didn't.
And, after all, what was the result Of
the jefferson administration?
The Legislative committee of Massa-
chusetts said in January, 1909:
'Our agriculture is discouraged. The
fisheries abandoned. Our commerce at
home restrained, if not annihilated
Our commerce abroad cut off. Our
navy sold, dismantled, or degraded to
the service of cutters or gunboats. The
revenue extinguished. The course Of
justice interrupted. And the nation
weakened by internal animosities and
divisions, at the moment when it is IN
necessarily and improvidently exposed
to war with Great Britain, France and
Spain"
How is that for "Jeffersonian prin-
ciples?"- Minneapolis Journal.
