Unrivaled Oratorical Effort.
The best known speech in which Web
ster combated this old idea of the ma
ture of the Union and set forth the theo-
ry that the constitution is not COM
pact from which any state may with
draw at will but rather the fundamental
law of a nation, binding the state to-
gether into indissoluble unity, was that
known as the Reply to Hayne.' AS
work of oratory this speech is without
rival in the history of American elo-
quence. 1t is worthy to rank with the
most famous productions of Demosthenes
and Cicero and. Chatham and Burke and
Fox and Sheridan. In thought, in liter
airy expression, in delivery. it was SUI
preme But It is not largely as a work
of eloquence that L wish now to con-
slider it.
The "Reply to Hayne' was delivered
in the United States senate in 1880. Cal
houn. the leading advocate and defender
OF state sovereignty, had by this time
developed and elaborated his theory into
solid and consistent system, fortified
and consolidated with all the ingenious
arguments which his acute and logical
mind could present In favor OF nullifica-
ton as a constitutional principle. Cal
houu himself was at this time, vice presi-
dent and presiding officer of the senate.
His chief lieutenant in advocating his
favorite doctrine was Col. Hayne. or
South Carolina. Able, fearless, adroit.
with that brilliant and fiery eloquence for
which so many Southern statesmen have
been justly famed. Hayne was a worthy
champion and an antagonist by no means
to be despiSed But in Webster he found
"a foeman worthy of his STEEL
Col. Haynes Speech.
Col. Hayne made an elaborate speech,
in the course of which he set forth the
doctrine of notification with complete
ness that it had never at one time re-
ceived before. But during the preceding
years of discussion another idea had been
growing in the minds Of the people, the
idea that whatever the constitution had
been at the outset, in 1890 it had become
the charter of nation. 1t was Websters
task to present t?Iiss idea with COM
pleteness of detail, a resistlessness of
logic and a mastery eloquence that
should leave nothing more to be wished
Who has ever dared to say that he failed
in the task?

The National Civic Federation has ac-

1t is designed to promote harmonious re-
lations between the representatives of

It's endeavors have been successful bel

the movement are broad men, meeting on
common platform, and equally earnest
in the effort to find solution of at least
the most serious difficulties attending the
existing industrial system.

session in Chicago AT that time the sub
ject under consideration was that OF ar

tration, as now found in operation in New
Zealand ana South Australia, was cham

consideration OF its merits was discarded
as being inapplicable to social ana eco
pomic conditions in this country.
The meetingesile New 5ssprlss has had a
broader basis ol5aetion. It has BEEN suc-
cessful in actually bringing together the
leading representatives of the labor and
capitalist interest, together with a num-

were generally acceptable The spirit of
cooperation showed itself plainly enough
to leave no doubt that the real end IN
view of those taking part is to lessen the
friction between labor and capital in pro-
ductive enterprise.
Such action is absolutely necessary for
the social peace of the country Nation-
al prosperity is impossible without such
peace The dangers which are making
themselves palmer each succeeding day,
and which are bound to break out in VIC
lence even during the present generation,
are the product of existing conditions
that can be cured only through agree
ment along the lines laid down by the
Civic Federation.
