WEBSTER on COMMUNISM


The name communism probably is
less than one hundred years old, but
the thing represented by name has
been in. existence even here in the
United States, longer ago than that.
Here is an extract from an address
before the United States Senate by
Daniel Webster more than a century
ago, and it reads as if it might have
been written yesterday:
"There are persons who constantly
clamOr. They complain of oppres-
sion, speculation, and the pernicious
influence of accumulated wealth. They
cry out loudly against all banks and
corporations, and all the means by
which small. capitals become united,
in order to- produce important and
beneficial results. They carry on
mad hostility against all established
institutions. They would choke up
the fountains of industry; and dry all
its streams. r.. 'a.s Ill. rs
"In. a country Of unboundcd liber-
ty, they clamor against oppression,
In a country of perfect equality, they
would move heaven and earth against
privilege and monopoly. III a cOun-
try where property is more equally
divided than anywhere else, they
rend the air with the shouting of
agrarian doctrines.
''In country where the wages of
labor are high beyond all parallel,
and where lands are cheap, and the
means OF living low, they\ would
teach the laborer that he is but an
oppressed slave. lt
"What can such men want? What
do they mean? They can want moth
ing but to enjoy the fruits of other
mems labor. They can mean moth
ing but disturbance and disorder, the \
of corrupt principles, and
the destruction of the moral senti-
ments and moral habits of society"
