Two Political Tendencies.
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.
