THE PEltlLS FROM A PLUTO ; - . CJRACY' , - In the early days of the Republic, when population was sparse, and our people generally agriculturists with only a small nu mber of manufactures there was little ir no fear of any danger to our free institutions from the owners of over grown estates. To avoid all perils that might arise from this source, our ancestors who thoro uglily understood the political and social'status of -Europe, early passed laws to abrogate all rights of primo geniture and entails, so that any over grown estate could only last for the Ufa time of the owner. At hJa.Wth. TChe statute ot descents and distribu tions divided the estate by ' long dk visions, and effectually prevented accumulation. r , ' " ' The opening of the great and fer tile West, the almost ' inexhaustible supplies of the metals of our country, especially of the precious metals, ne cessarily made grand opportunities for energetic and sagacious men to acquire colossal J fortunes As these resources were opened, the expand ing lines of great trunk railroads with the checker woik of feeders, brought vast capabilities of amassing fortunes. The late war between - the States most inordinately expanded the pa per currency of the country, and gave inflated values to all stock. During the war, a steady stream of immigra tion poured, in resistless floda, over our new territories, unchecked by and apparently unconscious of the gigan tic war that was ravaging the fair hills and valleys of the sunny S6uth. Gigantic enterprises are only car ried forward by gigantic minds using colosaal capital. Compared with Euro' , an countries as to territory. their kingdoms and empires are mere patches upon the earth's surface. A railroad .. traversing an : Eurooean country would here be butrtretching across a State. It is our colossal en terprises projected and carried for ward with enormous capital, that have brought stupendous fortunes to the actions. This has made our Vander- bilts, Dillons, Mackajs, Bharons, and Standards. ' Does any danger to our free insti tutions seem to come from thi3 c'ass of men? Certainly, if their wealth should be devoted to corrupting the masses of voter?; but that is not where the great danger lies. The Roman Empire was governed by the Romans within the city wall. The provinces and territory outside ha no band in shaping government. So, too, it was at Athens and Sparta. So, too, it was in the later Republic the masses who governed were cooped up within the narrow area of a city, There the plutocracy had ample op portnnity to squander their money so as to bribe and corrupt the voters. Even the Coliseum, still stands a won dertul monuments to please and cor rupt, with its inhuman sports, the voting p'pulace. But our territory is too widely ex tended for this. There is no colossal fortune that can make itself felt in every hamlet, village, and farm. But the plutocrat may bribe and corrupt the voters of our cities and there the problem of our free Institution!', Is most difficult of solution; and there the dangers from the plutocracy ariee. In a short time, at the pres ent rapid growth of citie?, they will hold a controlling power in voting But the dangers of tho plutocracy become meat imminent to our free institutions when their money is us d to corrupt legislatures. There they have even a better opportunity tban within the walls of a city, for the num. bers are smaller. Whenever our legis utors become as venal as those of England in the days of Walpole, and our own State la the days of Swop son, Littlcfiehl, and Dewccse,then the plutocracy will dictate all legisla tion; fur every legislator will have an itching palm that must be continu ally soothed . with the accursed shekels of bribe money. - There Is a class of plutocrat more dangerous than the holders of calast- al private fortunes it is the great grasping syndicates, the heartless cor over mastering porations,. and the t A ' t a. a1'.. great trusts, wittt their enormoua capital of the many shareholders; but wielded by a few. But there are counteracting agepcies that oppose these malign in fluences. Our vast extent of territory; the innatehonept) of the rural pop ulation that make their honest and comfortable Jiving upon their 6mali farms, oppo3e a harrier against the plutocrat. - No mau is successful as a candidate before the people, who is very wealthy at least Such " has been almost the uniform rule in American politics. His overgrowing wealth is a weight that ho cannot 1 carry before the people. But the , great . corporations; the powerful syndicates, and huge trusts present a more difficult problem for solution. Can they be brought un; der the operation and controalof laws? Will there ever be a unifornirule of action among all the States, by which the capiul of these corporations can be so restrained as to prevenfthe vast accumulation of wealth, by which legislators can feel tbe corrupting in fluence of the mtJney? Th'so are some of the questions that press for an an swer. . Will the churches escape the con trolling influence of the plutocracy? Will her altars be loaded by the gifts of the plutocrats, "whose precious value and dazzling beauty, shall blind tLe eyes, and corrupt the heart of the ministers who stand at the altar? What has been the whole history ot vast accumulations of ecclisiastical wealth? Whn has the" church been purett? .Was it when 'loaded vith wealth or stripped of the patronage of the plutocrats? ' The greatest check upon the plutocracy now, is un doubtealy in the Christian sentiment of the country. When that ' fails what of the night, watchman? Republican State Executive Cora, intttee. -. , ... This morning at 10 o'clock there will be a joint meeting of the two re publican State executive committees at the Yarboro House for ' the pur pose ot issuing a call for a republi can State convention, to bo held early next summer.'
