THE JEFFERSONIAN

The nations pride is it's stock of gold, the
greatest on earth.
The individuals pride is his stock of gold;
and we rank the citizen in the order of the
answers to, "What's he ac0rth?"
We are nursing the insane deluson that
because our fortunes, individual, corporate,
and national, are the largest ever known, we
are the strongest, greatest people in the world.
What madness, what folly! The deadliest
weakness OF our system, our nation, is this
same gold, this same wealth.
For the man is blind, blind, blind, who does
not see that, in proportion that you take from
the common stock the unequal share which
Carnegie gets, you have left the numbers of
the unequal shares that the sweat-shop worker
gets.
Show me Rockefeller fortune, and I will
show you, as its logical inevitable offset,
million men who have never surplus dollar
to lay up.
We are weakening the masses to create
Ryans and Morgans. We are grinding up
thousands of children, the seed corn, to pro
duce a dozen millionaires, when these twelve
millionaires, as men, may be less valuable to
the state than any taoezue of those children
would have been.

Because the people of the South were help

royal grandeur
Swelling with self-complacency at the fine
show that his palace and his court presented
to the Greek, the king asked him, 'Have you
ever seen happier man than myself?"
With great composure and impoliteness,
Scion answered, eyes. It was man named
Tellus,- "a plain, substantial citizen of Athens,
who begot valuable children, supported his
family in comfort by honest toll, and died
gloriously in the defense of his country"
How this impolite reply to the kings ques-
ton must have grieved the courtiers and
shocked the king
But Crosus decided to give the Greek one
more trial, so he asked
swell, after Tellus, have you ever known
happier man than IL"
Scion, as composed and impolite as ever,
replied, eyes There were two brothers, Gle
obs and Biton, famous for the affection in
which they held each other, and for their
loving and dutiful behavior toward their
mother. One day when she was to 60 to the
temple to worship, the oxen were not ready
to be yoked to the cart, and these devoted sons
put themselves in harness and drew their
mother, amid the acclamations of the people,
to Junos temple. After the sacrifice, they
drank a cheerful cup with their friends, and
then laid down to rest. They rose no more
having expired during the night, without sor-
row pain, in the midst of their glory"
Crcesus was displeased, sorely displeased
Plain speech delights not the ear Of silly
kings, or silly courtiers, or silly subjects. But
Croesus had one resource left: he would show
Scion his money.
Then he would fatter; then he would ad-
mire; then he would see what mistake he
had made in not declaring Croesus to be the
happiest of men.
So they led Scion into the treasure house,
and showed him the vast accumulation of
gold, silver, and precious stones-wealth lying
there idle; wealth which had come from all
parts of the world; wealth which had once
been the possession of thousands of others;
wealth which denied the comforts of life to
the moa1ay in order that the one should have
more than he could ever need.
Very coolly Scion looked upon the heaps of
gold, in no wise overcome, his clear eyes see
ing all things in their true relation as before
which is the thing we call Wisdom
TO the proud and silly king, he said,
"If one comes against you who has better
iron than you, this gold will soon be hiss
When Scion departed from Sardis he prob
ably left behind him the worst name that the
silly king and the silly courtiers knew how to
give to one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece
to one of the noblest men that ever worked
for the betterment of the condition of his fell
low-men.
What was the meaning of Scion, my son?
BY iron he meant weapons of war; and, of
course, the best men best WELD the weapons
of war.
Scion meant that mere wealth did not make
king or a nation great and strong, happy
or truly prosperous. He had already said to
his own people at Athens,
Chine own sons, o Athens are thy fate
And, slaves to gain, destroy the unconquered

Inc corporations rule our StateS-Where are
the men who rule the corporations?
In New York City.
The Democratic party controls our States:
where are they that control the Democratic
party?
In New York City.
The great corporations are plundering the
Southern people as the Carpet Baggers never
did. Where the robbers of the sixties took
their thousands, the Wall Street corporations
of today take their millions.
Elections were bought then with Northern
money; they are bought now with Northern
money.
The machinery of Government was manip-
ulated then in the interest of the office holder;
they are heavier now in the interest of the
office holders.
In some respects the situation was worse
then than 1t is now; in one respect it is worse
nOoO than 1T was then.
During the sixties the Southern man who
betrayed the Southern people to his Northern
masters was burned with the hot iron of pub
lie scorn, wore the brand of "Scalawag," was
hated, summed, jeered by men, women and
children throughout the South
(The term scalawag was not applied to
Southern Republicans in principle, but to
those white men, formerly Democrats. who
helped the negroes and carpet baggers loot the
South.)
At that time the Democratic party of the
South was frankly Democrat; the Republican
party was Republican. Democratic leaders
could not use Democratic voters as water
carriers and wood-hewers for Northern Re-
publican thieves and plunderers.
Now it is different
The Southern man who wears the livery
of Morgan or Rockefeller is not branded as
q low II i
Jeered at by the Democratic masses He uses
the Democratic machinery to give his Repub-
hcan masters an advantage which the Repub-
hcan masters are not able to give them, and
thus the Wall Street kings rule and rob
Democratic States through the Democratic
party, just as they rule and rob Republican
States through the Republican party.
Where is the honest intelligent citizen who
does not kn0a0 that "the men who CONTROL
IN Georgia are the tools of Morgans corpora
tons?
Where is the honest citizen who does not
resent the rule of the modern scalawags?
Where is the man in the State of Georgia
who does not want his State ruled at home
and by home foths, rather than from New
York by Wall Street robber like Morgan?
IT our little one-horse State Commissions
try to regulate railroad rates, the corporation
lawyers invoke Hamiltonian principles, DENY
that the State can interfere, and initiate the
magnitude of Federal jurisdiction "Inter-
State Commerce" becomes the battle crv with
which State Commissions are put to rout.
If we happen to elect President whom the
corporations have not branded as their cattle
and the President declares for Federal regula-
ton of railroad rates, the Corporation lawyers
invoke JetfersOnian principles, assert the in
dependence of the States, and say to Uncle
Sam. Keen off the GRASS -
