g4N n system Of which the earth, at least
%A<b-s so far as it's Inhabitants are con-
cerned, compose an important part, is pushed on
ward solely by chance. There is no chance about
either. Gods plan moves steadily the universe;
mans plans move the affairs OF men on the earth.
With God there is DO cOntesting powers with man, it
is one man against another striving each in his
interest, and too often entirely indifferent to the
rights Of all others. Too often God is forgot
ten.
But, why moralizei Why not brush aside every.
thing sentimental, everything used as covering for
real intentions and consider questions which must
sooner or later be met fairly and squarely and sOv
ed rightlyi
What does the South wantf
A fair answer is that it wants fair opportunities
with the balance Of this great nation to develop its
resources, rebuild its wOnteny destroyed civiliza
tiOn, the mere ghost of its once grand SELF now
struggling IOl deliverance.
This is neither an unreasonable nor an unnatural
aspiration.
But how can it be realizedi Surely not through
any forces at work during the past forty years.
The people of the South are honest and high
minded. They do not want to be unfair. They
do not want to be untrue. They realize the miti0r
tunes Of their position. They have hoped for de-
liverance for forty years, and while hoping they
have tOiled and struggled to recover, in material
way from the great losses that to their section
in an unnatural struggle, brought on by politicians
During all these forty years there has been but
one political party recognized loyal by the South
eFn people. That party was left remnant to them
at the close Of that unnatural conflict It was ali
they dared trust The other great political party,
which grew out Of the great conflict andfastened it's
self upon the other tWO.thirds Of the nation, used
its preiudces against the South in this sections
hours Of Distress as its cloak for favor The favor
was gained, and the great combinations Of capital
and greed, legtimatey and ilegitimately organized
with headquarters on Wall Street, in New York
City, took charge Of that great political machine for
their own selfish purposes
These great trusts and monoi les have grown
rich and powerful through the ma SSQlation Of that
great political machine Everyth y they have
asked az the hands Of that party hA Neen given
them, and when that party has needle, 0ncy to
carry its candidates into power and to hold congress
il line to serve them the money has been iOrthcOm
ing.
Twice during the past forty years a man has come
to tbe front in that great machine which the Wall
Street crowd did not want to trust and both times
tool Of Wall Street, Grover Cleveland, has been
used to bridge over the threatening chasm. There
is no necessity Of discussing Cleveland; ell know
him, and that be was not disappointment to the
men who made him President
In the two last campaigns It required tbe expend.
ilure Of vast sums Of money to defeat the people,
vho werc still elipging to the old party that
vas killed in reality, when Fort sumpter vas fired
upon. The money was ready and did its work
Wall Street learned asdesr lesson, however, in
those two campaigns. Wall street is not wanting
il political wisdom. It learned that, though it was
able with its immense treasure, to thwaFt the will
Of the masses, get wonderful education vas going
on through those campaigns and it resolved to stop
that educational work. Il Was not only cheaper,
but safer to name both Of The candidates. and form
ulate theplatiorms and direct The campaigns than
70 take any chances fthe people being educated to
real knowledge Of the plans used to rob them.
