Speech of G. A. Grow.
* !' CONOUDF.I) FROM. FIRST I'.WK.
piiards the hearthstone and the fireside.—
Wherever Freedom Ims unfurled her banner,
the raeu who have rallied around to sustain
and uphold it have come from the work-shop
and the field, where, inured to heat aud to
pold, and to all the inclemencies of the seasons,
they have acquired the hardihood necessary to
endure the trials ar.d privations of the camp.
An independent yeomanry, scattered over our
vast doumiu, is the best and surest guarantee
for the perpetuity of our liberties ; for their
arms are the citadel of a nation's power, their
hearts the bulwarks of liberty. Let the pub
lic di main, then, be set apart as the patrimo
ny of labor, by preventing its absorption iuto
large estates by capital, and its consequent
cultivation by " tenants and slaves," instead
of independent freeholders.
The proposition to change our land policy,
sp as to accomplish so desirable a result, b}
securing to the pioneer a home on the public
domain at the bare cost of survey and transfer,
is often rejected by those who have given but
little thought to the subject as leveling and
ngrariau. When was there eveu an effort
made,;since the world began, to wrest from
power its ill-gotten gains, or to restore to man ;
his inalienable rights, but it has been met with
the shout of leveling and agrarian ? That is
the alarm cry of the devotee of the past, with
which he ever str-ves to prevent all reforms or
innovations upon established usages. Behind
such a bulwark old abuses intrench themselves,
aud attempt to ruaiutain their position by hurl
ing ugaiust every assailant terms of odium and
reproach, made so by the coloring of the ad
herents of prerogative and power. Uutil with
in a very recent period the chroniclers of the
race have been, for the most part, sycophants
of power ; and, being the allies of the State,
have glossed over its cotemporaneous despo
tism and wrongs, while they have written down
the true defenders of the rights of the people
and the champions of honorable labor as the
outlaws of history.
Because the Roman Gracchi proposed to
elevate the Roman citizen, by dignifying his
labor and restoring him to the rights of which
he had been unjustly deprived by the oligarchy <
--who controll the State., their name was made
synonymous with infamy • as arch disturbers!
of all that was gord in society," till Xiebuhr j
tore off the vail of two thousand years of ob j
loquv, and vindicated to future times their I
memories as true defenders of the rights of
the people, and advocates of-the best interests j
and glory of their country. Such has becu
the fate of the world's reformers. Is it not
time that we learned wisdom from the chron
icles of the past, and ceased a blind reverence
for customs or institutions, because of their
gray age ? Why should uot the American
statesman adapt the legislation of the country
to the developement of material resources, the
promotion of Jts industrial interests, and there
dignify its labor, and make strong the prime
elements of national power ?
Let this vast domain, then, be set apart
nud consecrated forever as a patrimony to the
sons of toil : close your land office forever
against the speculator, arid thereby prevent
the capital of the country from seeking that [
kind of investment, of absorbing the hard
earnings of labor, without rendering an equiv
alent. While the laborer is thus crushed by j
this system established by the Government,
which abstracts so large au amount from his '
earnings for the benefit of the speculator, in
addition to all the other disadvantages that
over beset the unequal strngglebetwcen the !
bones and sinews of men anu dollars and cents, j
what wonder is it that misery and want so
often sit at his fireside, and penury and sor
row surround his deathbed ?
While the pioneer spirit goes forth into the
wilderness, snatching new areas from the wild
beasts and bequeathing them a legacy to civ
ilized man, let not the Government dampen
his ardor and palsy his arm by legislation that
places him in the power of soulless capital and
grasping speculation ; for upon his wild battle
lield these are the only foes that his own stern
heart and right arm cannot vanquish.
