SUPPLEMENT.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1800.
TbeUsfl and Abase of Public Patronage.
Ik the earlier days of the republic removals
from office for opinion's sake were compara
tively unknown. The civil service was looked
upon very touch as we now look upon the
military or the naval service, (rom which re
movals are made only for cause. Is he
honest? Is he capable ? were the only questions
asked In those days of an applicant for office.
This state of things prevailed down to Jack
son's time, when a new doctrine was intro
duced. "To the victors belong the spoils"
was the political cry which then, for the first
time, was heard. It has since become a set
tled maxim of action with all parties; and
whether really good or bad in Its effects, there
is no present probability of its being abro
gated. It has come to be settled that when
ever a party triumphs at the polls, it has a
right to fill all the offices of the Government
with its friends. The popular verdict Is held
to imply that the offices Bhall be given to the
political party which, under the forms of the
Constitution, the people have just invested
with power . So, whenever, at a general elec
tion, a change is made In the political com
plexion of the country, the defeated party
retires gracefully from office, and the success
ful party quietly steps into power.
There Is no proscription In this . It is a
settled rule of political action, common to all
parties, and well understood when men lake
office. They ally themselves with whichever
party they choose, and then they take their
chances with the party. Removals from office
are, then, merely incident to a change in ad
ministration In accordance with the verdict
of the people. The fortunate recipient ot an
office under the new regime is merely reaping
an incidental advantage from the triumph of
his party. Removals and appointments are
made, not with a view to affecting public
opinion, but merely of conforming to it ; not
as a price to induce men to change their
political relations, but merely as the legiti
mate reward of their previous party associa
tion; not with a view of modifying the domi
nant public sentiment, but of yielding obe
dience to it. This is the proper, legitimate,
and sanctioned rule of political acion in this
country with reference to the disposal ot
public offices, as carried out by all parties for
the last thirty years.
But we are now witnessing the inaugura
tion of a very different scheme, and one most
corrupting in its tendencies and most degrad
ing in its influences. We are beholding the
patronage of the general Government used,
not in conformity with the dominant senti
ment of the country, but in defiance of it;
not as the incident of party triumph, but as
the instrument of creating a false and fac
tious public opinion; not as a means of carry
ing out the popular will, but as a device for
overriding it; not in obedience to any
change in the dominancy of parties, but as
the corrupt means for creating such a change.
By all the recognized rules of party action
in our country, the Republican party is
entitled to fill the offices of the general Gov
ernment. It has tiiumphed at the polls. Its
sentiments are endorsed by the peopl?. It
is the dominant political power. Yet In
defiance of these facts, we find Republicans
daily removed from office, and their places
filled with Democrats. This Is proscription
for opinion's sake. It is political treachery,
for it is the use of political patronage against
the Republican party by those whom that
party has elevated to power.
When, therefore, R3publicans complain of
their removal from office, they do so not
from any Improper or unusual love of office,
but because they are deprived of that to
which, by all the settled rules of political
action in this country, they are justly enti
tled. Had James Buchanan, when elected
President by the Democratic party in 1850,
immediately commenced the removal of those
who had supported him, filling their places
with Republicans who had supported his
competitor, John C. Fremont, we should
have had a case parallel in its mam features
to that now existing.
But it is not merely nor mainly as a measure
of Injustice and treacheiy to the Republican
party that we complain of the present use of
public patronage. It comprehends a graver
evil. It is the use of patronage as a direct
means of controlling votes and cairying elec
tions that we denounce. What is the differ
ence, morally, between offering a man a cer
tain sum of money for his vote and influence,
or offering nim an omce worth that amount
of money to him ? Each has in it ths essence
of bribery. Each is a corrupt and mercenary
means of controlling the mans political
ption. Yet bribery we denounce as one of
the meanest and most dishonorable of crimes.
This is altogether a different case, as we have
just shown, irom that of changes in office in
duced bv a revolution of public sentiment
among tne people, and authoritatively ex
pressed at the polls. Offices are then dlstrl
buted to the members of the victorious party,
not as bribes to purchase their votes, not as
the meanB of making them act politically
contrary to their real convictions, but as the
incidental results of the triumph ot certain
political principles represented by the sue
cesaful party. But In the case in hand men ore
not letf to vote and act primarily from tholr
honeit political convlctlons.but they are treated
as so much purchasable property. They are
to vote a certain ticket as the prlc3 of em
ployment in a navy yard, or mint, or post
office.
The office or employment is the con
ulderation. the vote, or nartv euDDort. is the
equivalent. The element ot bargain and sale

pervades and gives character to the entire
transaction. ,
It Is not necoftsary to seek words ot denun
ciation for such a wrong as this. Every un
conuptcd mind feels at once the infamy ana
deoradatlon it Involves, and can see the dis
astrous influence it Is calculated to exort upon
the country. Fortunately, the public mina
recoils from It with a healthy horror, as yet?

Agriculture in the Mining Regions of
- the West.
Tn e agi icultural prod uc ti veness of some of our
mining regions is quite as wondertul as their
opulence in the precious metals. Thus we
see it stated that a single county in Califor
nia has this year produced a sufficient quan
tity of grain to supply the annual consump
tion of the entire State. The statement may
bo an exaegeration, but it is no longer a mat
ter of doubt that the valleys of California are
fertile in the highest degree. And not only
does the soil produce grain abundantly, but
it also grows the choicest of fruits. The
grape, especially, is becoming a source of
great wealth to California, and its growth and
manufacture bid fair to open a wide and most
lucrative field to the energetic and intelligent
cultivator.
It is also said that Colorado, which used to
draw every pound of flour used by her In
habitants from the Missouri river, a distance
of from six hundred to eight hundred miles
with ox and mule teams, has this year raised
grain enough tor her own consumption. In
Montana, too, the valleys are extremely fertile,
and fully capable ot supplying most of the
necessities of the inhabitants as soon as the
hand of cultivation shall develop their re
sources. These facts have an important bearing
upon the future prosperity of our mining
regions. The cost of living has hitherto been
one of the greatest obstacles in the way of
a remunerative prosecution ot the business of
mining lor the precious metals in the Western
Territories. Where living is costly, wags
must necessarily be high. But If our mining
districts can become even partially self-supplying,
labor will becoma cheap, and many
mines wnich now Will not pay for the work
ing will then yield a fair income, while those
which are now lemunerative will become
much more so.
The precious metals are not like ordinary
commodities, for they have the entire world
lor their market, and there is no danger of an
over-supply. The cost ot production may be
cheapened, and yet the product remain as
valuable as ever. Hence, every dollar of
expense saved in the mining and reduction of
gold and silver ores is a clear profit to the
business . Tie establishment of agriculture
in our mining regions thus becomes a matter
ot great interest and importance. We have
no doubt that it is yet to become a powerful
agent in stimulating the production of the
Erecious metals. In connection with the
uilding of the Pacific Riilroad, it will put a
new phase upon this already important
national interest .

Here and there a stray Republican convention
