DEAII HARRY:— In answer to your request some tinio ago to I write a letter for publication, I have put down a fe» facts as they came to me to-day, as I am convalescing from the effects of too strenuou efforts put forth out in the woods last week, and j I hope these retrospective lines will not jar your ; nerves too severely, old boy. The recent investigations into "Frenzied Fi ; nance" and the conduct and methods of life in ; | surance companies in handling the funds of their I | policy holders, railroad mergers, steel, beef and | oil trusts, etc , together with the history of the i great body ol wealthy men. who have been posing | before the public during the recent years as "Captains of Industry," some of whom have ; turned literary and wrote for the magazines arti cles on advices to young men, etc. Thesa Inves -1 tigation.! have not in all cases stood the test of [ j tile search-light, much less the investigation into their business methods and political intrigue. To my mind one consoling fact stands out ! prominently. In scatiing this list of powerful ! wealthy financiers and "Great Captains of i ndus < try," do you find a single name of one who took . any conspicuous or subordinate part in the civil i war for the preservation of the union, although ' the average ages of these men show they were ' men in full vigor and health during the war I period? These men, as a rule, if living near the theatre j of excitement and danger, became army supply j i contractors, and when living in remote points i j and could see with a clearer vision the evident ! ! out-come of the war, who possessed the cool j calculating judgment and hard sense that enabled them to lay the foundation of their fortunes, by j reason of the inflation of high prices and subse- j quent development of the country, in railroad, | iron and lumber and other ways augmented by j unprecedented emigration. The lamentable I fact remains, in numerous instances, where these I same men by means of tluir wealth thus acquired ! during the period of strife, became in iater years the purchasing power in practical politics and secured to themselves the fruits that really and justly belonged toothers. These men could be relied upon for large con tributions to campaign funds, either for the pur pose of effecting favorable legislation or silencing unfavorable legislation. In some notable instances, in close political sections, business firms made it convenient, (not from principle, but for policy sake), to be divided in their political affiliations so as to catch the favors, "both the comin'and the goin',"asthe darkey says. The men who were embued with true patriotic fervor and interest in the stability of our institu tions, enrolled themselves in defense of their country and made sacrifices in many other ways, and when the war ended, they came home with a sense, of duty well performed and were satisfied with tne plaudits of a grateful people. By reason of this sense of self satisfaction, became by de grees, not intentionally but nevertheless true, the dupes of these very men who remained at home; wno, as occasion seemed to require, spend lavishly for political meetings, brass bands, ex cursions, dinners, and encourage, if not pay tor, "Bloody Shirt" orators to harangue the people to keep up excitement and blind them to the true fects. <# The ground work and bulwark of our country j lies in the hands of the great body of common people. The "Blue Bloods" and so-called 40C, are not to be depended upon in any cricis. It is dangerous to attempt to "100 l all the peo ple ail the time." Lincoln said it could not be done. The few reat statesmen whom the people love to honor are now, and have been, men of small means. The high officials who pose as statesmen and have made their millions, although had nothing to build it on except the govern ment salary paid them in installments, made it | by graft and boodle or tampering with either State or National campaign funds. The political statesman who is kept IU office by the influence of some powerful trust company or corporation, or by the power secured in successfully shaking the grafted plumb tree of debauchery, will be buried in oblivion, and whose memory will over be associated with everything tending todegrade humanity. It does not seem possible, yet I firmly believe it true, that the great wave of political reform, sweeping in its path .States, Governments, cities and towns, is the culmination of resistance of the common people to the encroachment of aggran dized wealth, wrongly and unlawfully used; in debasing, debauching and the gradual breaking down of the old-fashioned standard of morals among the people and the wealth thus acquired, what could be called the aftermath of the civil war, as effecting the great north and west, brought about gradually by the methods men j tioned. * The South also had its share of tiie aftermath, but it came immediately alter the war, during the days of reconstruction, and its effect has passed away. It is singularly free from the abuses as exposed in St. Louis, Chicago, Cincin nati, Philadelphia and i'lttsburg. It is difficult to decide whether Pennsylvania should be free or not, from the political Boss. 1 suppose it is like a man living on poor fare so long that hebecame used to it and prefers it to something good is one reason the people submit to impositions aud high taxes. The people of Pennsylvania are taxed more and the corporations less than anywhere else, and yet lliey vole to continue the Bosses in power. 1 drank in Republican principles from the spigot in Freemont's campaign in 1856 and rode with the older boys and men during the "wide-awakeand rail-splitting"campaign of 1880. In those days Republicans won National recog nition by advocating and administrating Repub lican principles. This was continued all along the line, down to recent times. These principles believe local self-government, local government for towns and cities, a free press, encouragement to industries, improvements, just and equal ad ministration of laws. The result was the parly entered all subsequent campaigns with prideand force that carried conviction and always had a clean record that they could, on ail occasions, point to with pride. How does that record stand now in Pennsylvania? It would be fatal to any assembled convention to attempt to point with j pride to the record as made by the Republican I machine. The Republican party does not ap ! prove nor take responsibility for what has been • going on for past years. What can a fellow, i away from home, say, in defending Republican ism, when asked to explain the principles as ap parently is endorsed by a majority of about half a million votes? Verily the deeds of the wicked live after they are gone, as is evidenced by the cortee of office-holders still iu power under the system inaugurated by him of the Grafted Plumb Tree fame. Andrew fi. Curtin was the brainiest man and greatest statesman Pennsylvania lias had in 50 years. That is why he was brutally treated po litically by the Camerons, who saw in him a formidable rival. Cameron had the advantage of great wealth acquired by conniving with army contractors and other forms of graft well known at the time. Curtin was a man of limited means, but a true patriot and statesman, and was loved by the soldiers and their widows and orphans as no man has over been before or since. When Cameron had fastened his dynasty on the people he continued it by resigning the Sen ator.-hip after perfecting an agreement to have liis ton Don appointed to his place, whose only recommendation for the high place was that he had been cashier in a bank iu some obscure town j on the banks of the Susquehanna river. And j poor Andrew G. Curtin was finally beaten for the | le nomination to ( (ingress by a neighboring in- i dividual whose initials acquire a largeslice of the j alphabet. In debauching the delegates by lavish j expenditure of money and boodle, made by this i stay-at-home patriot aud his friends, while Cur tin'worked night and day, for four long years, aiding Lincoln to put down the rebellion. Curtin wus one of the President's most staunch and re- i liable supports during thore trying limes. The announcement of the recent death of Clias. T. V'erkes, brings to mind a little incident that ; happ< tied at a Sla'e election in 1372 or '3; he was \ serving time iu the State penitential.v for tam pering with state funds. The Republic ns had nominated a candidate who was suspected, by many, to have been implicated with Yerkts. When the election returns came in from Portage township it showed one vote for Yeik« - for State Treasurer. Of course the officers thought it was simply a mistake, but it was not. The voter in tended by that vote to record his disapproval of the regular nominee aud the action ol I lie party ui forcing it on the people. That "fool" voter was myself. Ycrkcs threatened to expose his . associates, so they had him pardoned out. With his share of the boodle he was able to exploit iu high finance, and a few vears later trapped M. S. •luay ill that Chicago street railroad scheme. From there lie went to London, hngland, and showed the English a tru k or two and amassed a nig fortune, ami a'so from what the papers say, a bigger scandal. VFCUY SFCL.LMLH. O. B.
