The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-05-20
A Southern Senator.


Georgia. is not only one of the party's chronic
of6ce-seekers and shelf-worn of1ce-holders, but
he is one of its national spell-binders Every
four years, he becomes an evangelist, and he
goes up and down the land proclalming
Democracy mighty champion of it's platform
and it's candidate. When the presidential year
comes round there is Bacon, armed from head
to heel, valiant and aggressive, shifting social
ism, Populism, Republicansm and every other
living creature that antagonzes Democracy.
Can the National Convention nominate any
candidate that does not command the loyal
allegiance of Bacon? No. From Cleveland to
Bryan, and from Bryan to Parker, and
from Parker back to Bryan again, the
tumble and flop and hounder-but it can't lose
Bacon. His toe-hold of the situation holds.
His regularity never knows crease.
Can the party write a platform that feazes
Bacon? No. From Free Silver to Gold Bug
gism and from the abolition Of national banks
to governmental guaranty which would per
petuate them Bacon slides with the ease of
loose shot~in a gun barrel. In 1892, Demo
cratic candidates and platform were pleasing
to A. O. B. He not only spoke for them, but
voted for them We are particular in stating
this because Senator Bacon sometimes speaks
on one side and votes on the other-owing to
the goodness of his heart and his desire to treat
everybody fairly
In 1906 Bacon, like all the other regulation
Democrats, voted for the two opposites-
political pie and pickles-Bryan and Sewall,
without batting an eye. Everything that
Bryan was, Sewall wasn't; and everything that
Sewall exemplifed Bryan didn't; but what
was little matter like that to dear old daddy
descended Democracy? Twas nothing to
Brvan twas nothing to Bacon; and the cry
was Con with the dance"
In 1904 when the Democratic National Con-
vention beseiged the Throne of Grace with
prayers through the megaphone and got its
change OF heart on the money question by
telegraph, Bacons toe-hold never even 1oos-
ened in the socket AS the brethren and patri-
OTIS changed cars and went over to the Repub-
lican coach, Bacon's face wore an expression
Of suave proprietorship, as who should say,
"I1s is mine, anyhow.
Many and forcib1e were~the orations which
Senator Bacon poured upon the nation in that
memorable contest. Had not Fairbanks taken his
chil1-generator throughout the West and kept
it in operation for some months, we really have
cause to believe that Bacons freezing appa-
ratus would have altered the results of the
election
In 1908. the zeal of Bacon was again mani
tested, and Georgia was too small to hold him
His country called and he went. The dear old
disheveled Democratic party needed help, and
Bacon, like cold wave from Dixieland, blew
to the fore
Did anybody hear him say that the platform
had any flaws in it! Did he admit that there
was single bug in the buttermik? Did he
utter word against the way or the time Of
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-05-20

making that platform? No. Listening to
Bacon, and reading after Bacon you would
have thought that he regarded the Democratic
platform as an inspiration from on high. What
was the quintessence Of Baconian preacht1eht
in the campaign of ONE YEAR AGO1
"Vote the Democratic ticket, in order that
the suffering country may escape the calami-
tous rule of Republicanism and RECEIVE
THE BLESSING PROMISED IN THE
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM"
Was not that the gist Of Bacon's speeches,
Bacon's interviews, Bacons delivefances Of
every sort? Of course it was.
Now what?
An extra session of Congress is called and
Bacon has a chance to give the Country the
blessings promised in the Democratic platform.
One of those promised blessings is UNTAXED
LUMBEr.
The Lumber Trust has run the price tip to
about double the amount it should be. The
millions of common people, whose necessities. !
force them to buy lumber, are held up and
robbed by the Lumber Trust
If lumber were not taxed with a tariff duty
these millions of consumers would get cheaper
lumber.
But the Lumber Trust is just as greedy as
the Steel Trust. Moderate profits do not salts
fly it. The big men of the Lumber Trust have
been to Washington to see Senator Bacon and
other members of Congress. What does the
Lumber Trust demand Of Senator bacon?
That he violate one of the plainest, most
positive and most popular pledges to the peo-
pie that HIS PARTY MADE LAST YEAR!
Oh, the shame of it few days ago. Sen
ator Bacon made a great speech against the
Republicans and their tariff system. He
proves that where this indirect system of taxa
ton gives the Government one dollar of reve-
nue. it gives to the manufacturers seven dollars
of unjust prices.
Yet Senator Bacon has announced on the
floor of the Senate that he will vote with the
Republicans on the lumber schedule, and that
he does not consider himself bound by his
partys public and positive pledge to- the
people.
In other words, he will take his orders from
the Lumber Trust, and not from the Demo
cratic National Convention. That convention
is supposed to have represented the people:
the voice of that convention is the official voice
of the Democratic party. But this Southern
SENATOR Democrat of the Democrats, de
clares in open Senate that the marching orders
of his National Convention do not bind him.
Well-we all know who the Lumber Trust
represents We all know what the voracious
combine wants. But we did not know the full
extent of its brutal power We did not know
that when the Trust ordered Southern
Democratic Senator to stutify himself and to
tra1nple upon the instructions given him in the
National councils of his party he would virtu-
ally declare:
1 do not serve the people, nor obey the
formal and patriotic commands of my party;
/ SERVE THE LUMBER TRUST, AID
BY MY VOTE I AM GOING TO RENEW
ITS LICENSE TO ROB THE CON-
SUMERS."

fsHere's The Opportunity Where Are
The Men.

Il
Since the olden days when the sceptre de-
parted from the South, (the Dixieland leaders
making the awful mistake of surrendering the
Government and the Capital TO A MINORI-
TY PARTY OF REPUBLICANS we have
had no such opportunity of unhorsing New
England and regaining lost ground as has been
presented in the extra session of Congress.
The great and growing West is at length
awakening to the fact that her rich provinces
are Systematically plundered by the East The
tariff, which yields to the manufacturers at
least five times as many dollars of dishonest
profit as it yields to the Government In reve-
nue., takes at least three dollars out of the five
and carries them to the East,-and there they
stay.
To the West, the East contributes nothing.
To the South, the East contributes nothing.
From the West and the South the East, by
the manipulation of tariff schedules, draws
yearly richer harvest of spoils than Xerxes
drew from all the tributary satrapies of the
Persian Empire.
Before the Civil War, Southern statesmen
knew this. and felt it. Such men as John c.
Calhoun declared that it were better for the
State of South Carolina to fight, than to tamely
submit to the wrong. The firm stand of this
illustrious statesman compelled Henry Clay and
Daniel Webster to yield, and to strike the obi
GUS, 1nInOIdl ana Unconstitutional p1OICCllVC
principle out of the tariff system.
But the South has no statesmen now. We
have some dgnifed mutts some academic de
chalmers, some smoOtl-artiCle jugglers, some
rough and tumble scrappers We haven't got
a single constructive statesman ONE.
Since the death of the noble old Morgan of
Alabama, the South has not had Congress-
man whose ideals scared to higher aims than
the increase Of his salary the squandering of
public funds on his personal accommodations,
the spouting of an occasional speech that will
keep up his reputation for being alive and the
laying of pipe to succeed himself in office.
At this extra session the determined efforts
of New England to extort tariff bill that
will break the promises of revision made in
Taft's speeches and platform, aroused the
intense opposition of the West. La Follette
Deliver and Cummins are men of influence
and ability.
They are power in the West They have
lifted the banner of revolt against the East
Their note of defiance to the Aldrich gang of
robbers is loud, clear and prolonged
