To tho superficial view liberty pre sents a negative aspect only, and it in this negative aspect that is emphasized in the Democratic conception ofliberty. In the ideal "state of nature" which existed in tho imagination of Locke and Rousseau, such a thing as a gov ernment h id no pin 1 "'". So thoroughly was Thomas Jefferson imbued with this way of thinking that he could hardly be brought to assert even that the people should govern. His theoretical view approached closely to anarchism. According to th: way of thinking, per feet freedom i nt be realized only when there is an entire absence of external restraint, ft i' only lair to say that this theor;. was not promulgated in the idterest of caprice and license. Like the grace »t God, i'. might be turned into lascivionsness, as was done by the Independent a few weeks ago when we attempted t > give a statement of this political conception; but this was not the intent of such men as Locke and Jefferson. Indeed we should all agree that if tho only function of government is the performance of police duty, the occupation of a government would be gone the instant that all the citizens became j i:st Jefferson and the school of thought which he represented ad mitted Hi t' men are not all just and that consequently a certain degree of externa! restraint is necessary for the maintenance of peace and order. But he also held that mankind in general is more just and reasonable than was commonly believed by the rulingclass es, and that the crying need of the world was for less governmental re straint. He was in his element when ho drafted the Declaration of Inde pendence for that immortal document is not a statement of what a govern ment should do, but of what it should not do. When it came to the adoption of a Federal Constitution, Jefferson's school sought in every way to have the powers of the federal government kept down to the lowest possible notch. In order to weaken the power and dignity of the federal government as much as possible,they emphasized the sovereign ty of the States and the powers ot the State governments. This they did, not because they loved the state govern ments as such, but because they saw in them a bulwark to protect individual rights against the encroachments of the federal power. The Constitution gave the federal government stronger powers than Jef ferson was willing to concede to it, but as he thought that there was greater danger of the government going be yond, rather than aiming short of, con stitutional provisions, he concluded that it was tho part of wisdom to see that the administration of the govern ment should bo held down to the ex press and strict terms of the Constitu tion. Strict construction of the Constitution has always been in the interest, not of strengthening, but of limiting and weakening, the powers of the Federal Government. From the very foundation of our nation there has existed another politi cal tendency and school of thought. The classic representative of this school was Alexander Hamilton. He held that government has other proper func- Sions than merely to maintain peace and order. Ho held that liberty has a positive and not merely a negative as pect, that it is not mere freedom from restraint and tyranny, but that it is the enjoyment of the best advantages for development and progress and the realization of a positive destiny. The Declaration of Independence is very well in its place, but the Nation cannot j live, the government cannot etand, on i mere negations. Our Constitution is j something more than :t protest against ; J'ritish tyranny, it is something greater ; than a mere provision to restrain in ternal riot and rapine. It is an expres sion of the Nation's consciousness of itself, of its positive powers and des tiify, and it is a provision for the accomplishment and performance of such things as a people can realize only in a collective rind organized capacity. The Constitution is not a mere letter: it is imbued with a most real and vita! spirit, the spirit of the Nation's life and destiny. It is in accordance with, and in fulfilment of, the spirit of the Constitution that those charged with the administration of the govern ment should be actively alive to every new national need and every new national opportunity, ft is in fulfil ment of the spirit of the Constitution that the government should inaugurate and maintain such policies as are effec tive for the positive upbuilding and strengthening of the Nation's life. Which of these tendencies shall we share and endorse? Shall we say that tho powers of government should be reduced? Shall we say that a protec tive tariff is unconstitutional as well as H robbery? Shall we siy that the Nation through its organized and responsible government must not recognize the growing needs, the larger duties, the increased opportunities with which in each new decado it is confronted? If so, our place is in the Democratic party, where our backs may ever be turned towards the rising sun, where we may find cotton in plenty wherewith to stuff our ears against the calls of pro gress and duty, and where we may bark in the atmosphere of negation and failure that is so dear to our souls. Bryan mentioned sixteen reasons for opposing Judge Parker and only one for supporting him. Mr. Bryan is still true to the sacred ratio. The most disheartening feature of the political situation, for the Democrats, is that the people seem to be doing their own thinking. The Democratic wheel of fortune is badly in need of oiling and even such an expert as Tom Taggart has not been able to make it run with out emitting nerve-wrecking sounds'. John Sharp Williams double locks the ballot box in bis district where the colored voters should be permitted to cast their votes and then comes north to plead for the franchise of the Filipino. The only important piece of legislation for which the Demo crats have been responsible since the Republican Party lirst came into power, is now repudiated by the rank and iile of the supporters of David l>. Hill's frieiul. Tom Taggart is in bad order with the Democratic leaders on account of iiis inability to show that it was il. G. Davis' barrel and not 11. G. Davis that was nominated for the Vice-Presidency at St. Louis. Senator Gorman has been sum moned to New York as a Demo cratic guide. It is pretty certain, however, that the party is so thor oughly lost that not even expert Gorman can show it the way out of the woods. Democrats in the House of Rep resentatives are always as badly divided as their leaders are. The free silver, free trade contingent, however, is always in the majority. In an attempt to misrepresent the Republican position on the Philippines, the Democrats have only succeeded in misrepresenting their own and exposing their lack of any intelligent plan for the treatment of that question. The most discouraging feature of the situation for the Democrats is the generally conceded fact that the election is to be decided by thinking people. Democrats are censuring Tom Watson for saying just the things that Mr. Bryan and all of the Democratic Congressmen said four years ago and which they promise to resume saying as soon as Judge Parker is defeated in November. < )ne of the surprises oft he pres ent eainpaigh is the way Senator Fairbanks lias grown into the re spect and affection of the people. Never for a moment surrendering the dignity of his position, is a good mixer and the people are glad to meet and he is glad to meet the people. Employing none of the tricks of oratory, he appeals to the sober judgment of the people and forces conviction home to those who hear him. Never, by word or reference does he attack the per sonality of any opponent, he speaks respectfully of the Demo cratic party, and yet before he is through with the principles for which he stands, he makes it look like thirty cents. He ranks high among the statesmen of the State that has given to the Nation such men as Morton and Harrison. If the pension order was illegal, why has not some patriotic Demo crat taken steps to have it set aside bv the courts. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1904.
