The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1896-07-20

There is no declaration in the Chicago
platform more thoroughly democratic,
or Worthier of the unanimous approval
Of our people than that which denounces
the arbitrary interference by federal au-
thorities in local affairs as a violation
of the constitution Of the United States
and a crime against free institutions.
In the same breath the democratic
party declares its special opposition to
government by injunction, objects to it
as a new and highly dangerous form
of oppression by which federal judges.
in contempt of the laws of states and
rights of citizens become at once legis-
lators judges and eXecutioners, and APP
proves the bin passed at the last session
OF the United States senate, and now
pending in the house Of representatives,
relative to cOntempts in the federal
courts, and providing trial by jury in
certain cases of contempt.
Democratic opposition to arbitrary in
reference by federal authorities in local
affairs is older than the organization of
the party. 1t is as old as the organic law
OF the land. The principle on which
this opposition rests has been relied on
at all times to protect the states in their
reserved rights and the citizens of the
states in their liberties; and during the
darkest hours OF the reconstruction
period the people OF the south depended
on It and appealed to it to protect them
against tho unlawful employment Of
the federal troops and other government
agencies unconstitutiOnally brought
against them.
In the south no democrat should bolt
over this declaration. Here the mailed
hand OF federal interference in state
matters. notably In the days OF recon
struction, has been felt more keenly
than anywhere else.
The essence OF the declaration IS en-
bodied in the constitution and has al
ways been a vital principle Of democ-
racy. Take away from the states this

Not a Sectional Issue.

Though many spacious arguments in
favor of the existing monetary system
have been advanced 10y the advocates of
single gold standard. none of these
arguments have betrayed such a rank
and bitter spirit Of sectional hatred as
the one which Sterling J. Morton, the
secretary Of agriculture, uses in adyo-
eating a third ticket
IIailing from the great state Of Ne
braska and representing in the cabinet
of President Cleveland the interests Of
the American farmer Secretary Morton
should be the last man on earth TO de-
fend a policy which means nothing less
than destruction to the agricultural in
tereStS Of the country.
No sooner had this man assumed his
official toga and passed, SO to speak, I'm
der the golden rod Of the administration
than all the benevolent schemes which
he had formed for ameliorating the con
dition Of the farmer vanished ike a
dream. As paradoXcal rs it may seem,
he ceased to represent the agricultural
interests Of the country on becoming the
secretary Of agriculture In espouslnS
the cause OF Wall street. It was neces-
sary for him 70 throw the American far
mcr overheard: and, though it may have
cost him some regret, he never hesitated
for a single moment to comply with the
conditions prescribed by the money
power.
Not satisfied with the stock argument
Of the single standard orators and anN-
lous to make himself conspicuous, he
aims a sharp-pointed sectional arrow at
the south
This he does with all the grace Of
demagogue in an interview which re
Gently appeared in The New York
World In this interview, Secretary
Morton said.
"Had the northern democrats re
fused to separate themselves from the
southern democrats, Mr.. Lincoln could
never have been elected president. If

protection, close the mouths of the DEM
ocratic people of the country to protests
against arbitrary federal interference in
local affairs, and at once our form of
government would undergo a tremen-
dous change. The man at the head of
affairs-the commander-in-chief of the
army and navy of the United States
would be more powerful and less re-
sponsible than all the princes and poten-
tates of Europe combined.
We have 4 government OF the people,
by the people, and for the people; but
this government of the people rests
wholly on the independence and rights
of the citizens of the states; and this in
dependence and these rights cannot
exist in the face of arbitrary Interior
ence of the federal authorities. The
federal authorities have the right to in
terfere only when the authorities or
state or of states find themselves con-
fronted by conditions that they are not
powerful enough to resist.
The declaration is not only democratic
but American, and when the principle
was violated, as during the reconstruc-
ton period, the people suffered.

give the metropolis an opportunity to
hear the voice of the man whose power
and earnestness have made him the
prophet of all the people. 1t will give
the citizens of New York an opportunity
to behold a man charged with mission
to deliver the toiling masses from the
thraldom of the money power.
From New York Mr.. Bryan will make
a tour through New England, and will
deliver his message in the stronghold
of the trusts and combinations that are
crying out that democracy is anarchy.
He will prepare the ground and pave
the way for an active and a vigorous
campaign among the toiling masses of
the east, and it will be surprising indeed
If, after they have heard the just, hon
est and conservative demands that the
democratic party has placed in its plat
form, they do not rally to the party
standard.
Now, as always, the cause of one is the
casue of all. The policy that has re-
pressed production. depressed business
and thrown thousands out of work in
the east, has brought about the same
results in the south and west The pol
icy that will remedy these evils in one
section will remedy them in all. Wher-
ever men are engaged in toll, they are
interested in promoting democratic
principles.

newspapers.

Maine Is Almost Certain.

The New York Commercial Advertiser,
a strong advocate of the single gold
standard, is almost on the point of con-
ceding Maine to the democrats.
Recognizing the wisdom of the Chi
cago convention in selecting Arthur
Sewall, of Maine. as the second man on
the ticket The Commercial Advertiser
states that unless 4 vigorous campaign
is carried on in that state for the repub-
lican nominees that Maine viii inevita-
bly, 90 democratic in the coming election.
This able metropolitan journal is can
did enough TO admit that a strong silver
sentiment has taken root I'm Maine with
In the last few weeks and that vigorous
measures viii have to he adopted in
order to prevent the state from being
lost to the republicans.
Such an expression as this from one
OF the leading gold standard organs is
most significant. The democrats have
already mapped out plan of campaign
and will proceed at once to follow up the
advantage which they have already
gained.
Maine voted the democratic ticket in
1850, and she will probably vote it
again in 1896.

A Campaign in the East.

While the republicans and the ire
cOncilable gold men Of the east are max
ing the ridiculous charge that the dem
ocartic party is engaged in the business
of sectionalism, the leaders of the party
are preparing to demonstrate in prac-
teal way that the cause OF democracy
is the cause of all; that wherever man
tolls for his bread or is engaged in build
ing foundation for the future, the
principles of democracy are to be wei
coined and treasured.
The national executive committee has
decided that the formality of notifying
the brilliant leader who has been made
the standard bearer of the party of the
fact that he has been chosen, will take
place in Madison Square Garden in the
heart of New York city.
The chief event of that occasion will,
of course, he the speech of Mr.. Bryan
accepting the nomination. And that
speech will be a message to the people
of the east not less than to the people
of the whole country.

were to stand guard over the treasury
and prevent the outflow of gold, and this
they did. From the date of the bond

was exported.

manipulations.

Limitation they renewed their manipula-
lions and drew out the gold they had

lowed by an issue of S1O0.OOO,0O0 OF

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Judpe Rrvan the father of the democrat
f. nominee was quite an eccentric Ola
man. Shortly after locating In the state
of Illinois he was seized with Nlolent
SMELL of sickness which threatened TO end
mis- career. Realizing his critical condition
he made a vow that if the Lord would
snare his life he would bow his head In
PRAYER and thanksgiving at least three
times a day. The judge Kept ms word
Frequently when a case in court was being
tried before him he would take out MS
watch and just as soon as the hour or
noon was reached he would get down on
his knees before the bench and offer up
a silent prayer. The judge was twice a
member of the Illinois senate and once a
member of the state CONSTITUTIONAL con
VentiOn. He was twice nominated LOT
congress and could have been elected. but
he would not allow the use of a single
cent for campaign purposes His son Is
likewise strongly religious and has many
of his fathers peculiarities.

eight miles in length. The plans for this
remarkable excavation were drawn IN Isis.

the work was actually commenced. King
Victor Emanuel Of Italy inaugurated the
construction Of the tunnel by putting the

forces In The open, the time has come
for the democratic people of this repub-
lie to stand shoulder to shoulder in de-
Tense of rights and privileges that be-
long to the struggling masses in every
part OF the union.
Mr.. Pulitzers newspaper has played
the part of a democratic organ long
enough to know that such a movement
as that which has been organized in
Wall street is not only new to our politi-
cal experience, but sign as certain as
II is significant that every demand
made by the democratic party rests on
reason and justice. Heretofore the sim
lister influences that have given the
term "Wall street" its peculiar mean
ing, have been content to fight behind
the screen and with the lights out SO
that the public would not be able to
meet the influences brought to bear in a
hundred different ways and through a
hundred different channels.
The World itself. which has surren-
dered to Wall street in large matters,
has kept up show of opposition in
small things and warns the syndicate
bosses that the course they have taken
In organizing Mckinley clubs is not cal
culated to help the cause of the gold
standard for which the Hanna McKin-
ley syndicate stands. In the heat of
its anger that Wall street should expose
its hand at this stage of the game, The
World informs these Influences" that
the people have a real grievance against
them. This is going pretty far for
metropolitan newspaper that is known
to be "in the push" but The World chas-
tises I'm order to save, and it's anger is
not based on the fact that Wall street
Interests" are opposed to the interests
OF the people, but on the fear that the
recent demonstration I'm the stock eX
change will endanger the gold standard.
Do we do The World injustice? Let
the reader go through fits article with
care. Wall street is warned that any
demonstration il may make 'is not cal
culated to help the republican ticket"
and ii is the election of the republican
ticket, put out by the Hanna syndicate
that the gold men, including Wall street
ana the gold editors have ut heart III
The World were not interested in the
success Of the Hanna Mckinley trust,
why should its anger be aroused at
wall street hysterics?'
But The Worlds angry warning comes
too late. Wall street has been deceived
by presidential obstinacy and by the
extraordinary failure Of the New York
newspapers to print the news, into be-
lieving that the democratic party has
fallen into the hands of a few fanatics
who do not represent the people; and 1t
is now convinced that the time has come
for it TO crawl from behind the breast
works and enter the campaign without
disguise
There is nothing more natural than
that Wall street should organize Bank
ers aud Brokers' Mckinley Clubs; and
as the syndicate bosses and spectators
know no politics. it is also natural that
these political clubs of bankers and
brokers should be composed of men
who call themselves democrats" or re
publicans," according as they may best
subserye their own interests"
