The following, is the speech of the honorable senator, from North Caroli na, T. J. Jarvis, delivered before the Immigtatiou Congress, May 31, 1894: lie said that before beginning to read the ; remarks he had prepared he wished to express his pleasure at visit ing the progressive city of Augusta. It is meet and proper that i this gteat Southern Industrial CoDgress should! be held in the city of Augusta the lea cality and city of all localities and cities of the South made the greatest per cent, of increase in material manufact uring development ;in the last decade (applause), and I trust that those of us who came from other sections of the South may catch some of the spirit of organization and enterprise of the peo ple of this city, and go home' and make an effort in. our own communities to create similar industrial organization to toe Young Men's Business league of Augusta. (Applause.)' J Mr. President and gentlemen: I wish to be understood in what I say today as simply uttering mypwn senti ments. I am not speaking for any sec tion or party, and no one else is to be held responsible for what! I say. I therefore beg that those who may dif fer with me shall feel at perfect liberty to do so, and to criticise freely any opinion I may express. They are my honest convictions, and I speak them freely, I shall not attempt to deny to others the same peifect freedom of speech. j I have been asked to speak of the ob stacles to development of the resources of the South. I shall do so in part, but I shall also speak somewhat pf the con- ditions necessary to that development. So that those who hOnor me (with their attention may have to determine to which of these subjects 8 ime part of my remarks may be: applicable. We who have jived much In the South, who have studied its natural ad vantages and resources and have trav elled in and compared it with other sections of our country believe that we have the most inviting held of good homes for the settler and profitable in vestment for money to be found any where from ocean to ocean. Those who do not believe this ought to parti cipate in this meeting because no man ought to try to deceive his fellow man. The object of this meeting, ai l uuder stand it, is to make these advantages and resources known to those who are now ignorant of them, and o devise ways and means fori their moVe speedy and certain development. A an bum ble citizen of this highly favored sec tion I am here to contribute my mite to the success of this movement, and In doing this, X repeat. I shall be frank and candid in what I say. If, in thus speaking plainly, I shall attract attens tion to any of the obstacles to be re to moved or conditions to be jprrfored, my coming will not nave been in vain. The first thing to which 1 wish to I which should be call attention,; and kept prominent at all times is the ab solute necessity for good government. Money is the most cowardly thing tn the world. It hides Itself away at the slightest approach of danger. Men may risk their lives and theira liberties in communities wnicu are eunea witn bad government, but they will not in vest their money there. It may be safely stated that where bad govern ment exists money will not go, except in small quantities and at high rates of interest. If, therefore, we wish to see a steady, healthy development of bur resources in the South, it is absolutely necessary that we Bhould procure good governments in our States, I couatles and towns. Without intending to cen sure any one, but solely to illustrate and emphasis this idea, I will refer te the bad government existing in the Souchern States for some' years suc ceeding the i war. It! is well known that during those troublesome days of bad government there Was no develop ment in the Southern States --although we bad the resources and It was an era of great abundance of money In the North. I cannot press this" question too- strongly upon our people, and I trust that whatever may be our differ ences and divirsions as to certain ua tional questions, we will be united in pur etrort8 to retain our state, county and town governments .in tne bands. 01 honest and capable men; so tnat our people at home and capitalists and im migrants abioad may have a positive assurance that life, liberty and property will be absolutely secure in the South ern States. Unless we can furnish this absolute assurance we deed not expect capital to come in our midst, or desira ble immigrants to settle among ns. I come, in the second place, to speak of a class of our fellow citizens which has in the op.nlon of some, been, in a measure, an obstacle In the way of the introduction of Immigration into cer tain localities and to some extent the investment of- money If ;reter to the colored population. When this class of eur fellow citizens were slaves, we had in the South the same: splendid climate and the same great natural sources of wealth that we have today, but no one thought of auy movement toward the development of these re sources. Our people as a rule looded to the negro to perform our labor, and to his increase and the results of bU labor as their general source of wealth. Since he became a free man, we have had many perplexing questions grow- ing out out of his new relations to society. to the Bute and to the white raae, to solve. Without making any comments upon the past without accusing or ex cusing any one because it Is not my purpose today to stir np Any bitter memories of that past I desire to say and I wish to emphasize It that in my opiaio tb ; Derro k her wita as, and here to stay. ; LU U in no way to blame for hU pjrestncej tn the ;Satb. S cannot leave if be wooldf and I do not believe h -should if be - could. I regArd all eehewe f or the renoval of the colored people from tb : Southern Sutes All xchenirt for their coldnlza lion at emlgratioo, as wild and imprac ticable, .no mattar whether rjide schemes origiiute with the colored peo ple themselves, or with oar own race. The colored population of ibe Southern States, la rr.f oploionfll and will .be permanently a part and ; parcel of oar people. This belug so, it becomes. our ioterst, as well as our daty, to help them la the development' ana elevation of their race. I am aware ef the fact that in the cities and towns much has been done by our own people and by philanthropists from other sections fer thekjedooatlon, ud while I commend most heartily all that baa been done in that direction, I must .lament the fact that too little bas been done toward their education and .elevation lu the country. I do not think that the gold standard, except under extraordinary conditions, bas ever developed the resources ef auy country, and 1 think that an impartial reading of the history of every people where the gold standard has been adopted and practiced for years, will demonstrate the truth ol this proposU tion. I do not. mean to say that some men have not grown very rich in coun tries where the single gold standard has prevailed in truth, I think the fact is thac,the gold standard develops millionaires, and I believe a careful study of the people and country where this has prevailed would demonstrate the fact while a few men have accumu lated great fortunes the great mass of people have not prospered, if indeed, they have not grown poorer. While I have no animosity against very rich men, 1 do wish to be understood as declaring today that I am not an advo cate of any system of laws or finance that will encourage in the Southern States the accumulation of great for tunes in the not believe hands of the few. I do that such a condition of I things is desirable or that they eon- tribute to the development, growth and prosperity of a country, it is better that our laws, our financial systems and business methods should be such that they do hot tend to the creation of great fortunes among the few and great poverty among the many. This is exactly what the single gold Stan dard tends to do as I do verily believe. Bimetallism encourages the establish ment of business enterprises, develops a country's resoutces, gives employ, ment to labor and value to property, monometallism is a blight upon them all. I therefore believe it is for the iu- terest of the Southern States that we shall have the same free and unlimited coinage of sliver that we do of gold. I alse believe that the repeal ef the 10 ner cent, tax on : State banks would contribute greatly to the development of the resources of our section. J I am one of those who believe that there is wisdom and patriotism enough among tbe people of the Southern States to establish a system of State banks that could issue and use a currency of their owi which should be as stable and as safe as tbe bank notes of the best of -our National banks. In advocating' the coinage of silver and repeal of the tax on State banks, I do not wish to be understood as fa voring a depreciated currency, or any wild scheme of banking. I know it is charged by the enemies of silver and State banks that the South is prepar ing to wage a war upon a stable relias ble currency. These charges are not always made, in my opinion, in good faith, and by men who actually bs-. lieve what they they say. They come, as a general rule, irom tnat section oi our country in which under existing tariff and financial legislation great wealth has been accumulated, and the principal part of our, circulating me" diutn has been 'concentrated. This false cry of a depreciated currency and wild cat banking has been raised by men interested in maintaining the present order of things to frighten peo ple from their advocacy of any change in the system of legislation and finance under which that section bas grown so powerf ult the expense ef other sec tions of oar country. Whether this be true or not, we Know that we are in terested in having good money as much as they are, and that we have no purs pose to advocate or countenance any other kind. , If the 10 per cent, tax on State banks shall be repealed so that we may es tablish banks of issue we do not ask to have our State money made a legal tender we do not ask the capitalists of New England and New York and other great and wealthy States to ac cept this money in payment ef any debt that we may now owe them, or may hereafter contract. They can de mand of us tbe same cuirency then as they do now, and we are willing that our contracts with them shall be solva ble ; in money sanctioned by wise Na tional law3, but what we do ask, and what I think we have a right to de mand, is that this tax shall be repeal ed and that we shall be permitted to show to them by actual experience that we can establish banks and issue bills which shall be worth their face value in gold and which shall answer all our purposes in meeting our contracts with each other, and which shall con tribute to the development and growth and prosperity of our communities. I have said that labor was quite aa necessary for the development of our resources as money. To induce this labor to CDme- in greater abundance ameng ns to induce it to locate and remain with us, it Is necessary that it should feel that, the laws regulating and governing U are equal .and just. We have fortunately Assembled here todsy the Governors, er their represen tatives, of nearly all the -Southern States. I want to plead with tbem to critically examine the laws; of their several States, And that if any one of them shAll fiad anythihg lo the laws of any State that places unnecessary burdens or restrictions upon, Isbor that such laws shall be repealed. I know that in the past, smarting under the threatened NattonaHeeislAtieu vr un der the recollections of the. wr, or something growing out of I it, or the days of reconstruction, there was great temptation to pass. In some States, laws which under different conditions might never have found their way up on those statute books. Those day, with their unfortunate occurrences are happily behind ua we are now look ing to tbe hopeful future with Its in viting prospects, an 1 it is tbe part of wisdom as well as manliness, to see that our laws are equitable .nd J ist to All, And that he who labors shall have their protection and their care equally with him who lives ia luxury aud wealth. Tne Southern States are so situated that the great body of oar people is. arid qui be, dependent upon our ag ricultural interests. . When agriculture prospers, all other , interests, most par take of -that prosperity,- When fnn hfe Is neglected, and laroilain does not pay, clues and towns ana every inw in terest incident thereto must feel Its ef - Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report I ' - I .. I :; I I . : ' - tl : a :.:!; i feet. It Is, therefore bad policy to concentrate all our best energies upon the development ef cities and; towns and the enterprises therein located, to the Begtect of our agricultural interest and farmtng life. j j The colored man Is by nature a farm er, although I believe they can be edu cated into most excellent mechanics and efficient laborers tn manufacturing enterprises. Still the fict remains that the great mass of bur colored ! people must live upon our farms, and that it is to their labor that Southern agricul ture is to be largelyj indebted for its development and prosperity, i Then this labor should be well cared for, and our colored fellow citizens made to feel that we are in earnest with our efforts to elevate their race ; and I know of no better place to begin than in the: homes (oI these people. If any land owner ex pects to locate valuable white labor upon his farm, It will bet necessary for him to provide reasonably comfortable homes. Why not do the some I thing lor the colored laborer ? It wilt n.H be denied, I think, injsome places these people aieoMigedto lire ia inadequate quarters without due regard to a prop er separation of the sex. If there is to be any uplifting of j the colored labo rers in farm life,' it must begin in their homes, and I am sure I will be pardon ed for calling attention to this matter on this opportune occasion. It is also necessary that schools shall be proyld- ed for their children. We are not dis charging our duty to these people when we permit persons of bad character to teach their public schools. The color ed preacher exercises a powerful in fluence upon the destiny of hU rase. Have not our white ministers of the Gospel left these colosed preachers too much to themselves? Is there not a duty resting upon them to advise with and instruct these colored preachers, and to see that bad men are expesed ? 1 leave them to answer. Believing as I do that this race is to play an impor tant part in the development, prog-; orees and prosperity of the South, I make no apology for pleading today for better homes, better schools and better teachers, better churches and better preachers, where necessary, for the colored people in the country ; dis tricts, so that those who labor on the farms may have like advantages j with their brethren who live in the tows and cities. These people do the greater part of the work that makes the cotton, I corn and tobacco of the South, that contrib utes so much to the wealth and, pros perity of the whole country. ' They should be made to feel that they have a fair chance in the race in life, and that they live under Just lwws and among a people who feel Interested in their growth, development and pros perity. 1 think, I repeat, that our in terest as well as our duty demands that we shall do what we can toward their education and elevation, and tnat we should teach them to be an Industrious, careful, progressive, .Christian, peace loving, law abiding people. Then cap italists will not hesitate to invest their money in cummunities where these people abound, and immigrants' will not hesitate to settle among them. Anotner point I wish to emphasize and make prominent is that bott mon ey acd Ubor are necessary to tbe de velopment of the resources of any country. Without money, no matter what the resources of tbe country may be, there will be but little development and without labor the resources! will remain undeveloped and the money un invested. These two . things must go band in had and keep peace , with each other. Any war upon the one must be felt by the other, and be hurtful to both, I I have already said that money Is the most cowardly thing in the world. The scarcer it becomes, the more cowardly it is. When money is plentiful, it will take greater risks when it is abun dant it will go out and seek opportu nities for investment, but when it is scarce It hides itself away, or seeks on ly gilt edge securities and the first to hide is tbe cold. The more of value you concentrate In a given quantity of anything called money, tee more you increase the purchasing power of that given quantity you call money and you thereby increase its timidity. For in stance, a man in possession of a sliver half dollar would not be so easily Irignt ened at the approach of danger, or so anxious to bide it away as tne man would, who bad a $20 gold piece the same size because the purchasing pow er of the $ iO gold piece Is about forty times as great as the 50 eent piece; to If we had diamonds, as the standard of our money instead of gold, the coward ice of our money would be infinitely multiplied. Take as a further illustra tion of t $1 bank note that; is about the same size piece of pap r as a 100 bank note yet, we attach great value to the piece of paper called one' hun dred dollars, and but little value eoin psratively to the piece called one dollar. That L because by a fiat of Government the one has a purchasing power $107 times greater than the other. So, a you concentrate into any given stand ard great purchasing power and then as you increase the purchasing power of that standard, you make it all the more precious In the sight of its poses- j sor, and thereby make him all the more careful as to hew And where he Invests It, or in other words, as you mske rnon- ; ey more precious you make It more cowardly. Ir, therefore, seem3 to me that in striking down silver and. in erecting the single gold standard, a serious obstacle has been tbmwjr in the way of industrial proge3- 10 the SoullU. J - The labor of the country, I repeat. Is trregreafclempot ia the development and jt row tit oi tne country. co coun try La ever prospered no coijintry can ever prosper in which the laborer feels that he is urjoetlji dealt with). F.jr tuntely for us in the Jriontb we j hve been peculiarly exempt from tbe strifes frictions and turmoil that have arieo in other ctin9 between lAborj and eapital. T am sure that l utter toe sen timent of evWy good man when jl say that I pray that our beloved South mav ever be exempt from strikes and from all kinds of M rife and turrr oil among oar laborers. If w would have j it to. e nmt n make our la-ws and to exe cute them, that tboe. whose labor tn creating and Inereasing the . wealth of coreraunitJes and States, stsll feel J that their labor and,tberr obedience to law shall have their fast reward.--My fellow citizens let It be truthfbUy said fRv,; n . o o us uuu mere is one section oi our beloved country where strife sdstribes are tia Known. . . . Thus far it will.be seen I have not spoken of pur great natural adyanta ges and resources. .It was not my pur pose to do so. lkrtow and (y6u know that, in climate and varied source? of weattn, we nave a magn-ncenteourttry uusurpasseu oy, any yet discovered. Whatever is necessary for the adver tisement of these resources that nn. pie living in other sections of our coun try may know of them, -should be done by this convention. Certainly j all needful steps should be . taken to jcall the attention of the people and cpl. tall8ts in other States to the great le sources here In our midst which need! but the touch of skilled labor and the use of capital to yield profit to tott laborer and investor. For ages! and ages, these natural resources have beer, here j list as they are now; from one cause and another they have remained andeveloped and certainly will go re main until their existence is made known. It.wis my good fortune to be presem in the city of Atlanta in 1881 at an ex. hibition then held by the progressive public-ppirited people of Georgia, My State in common with one or two oth ers had there a small collection, f Two years, afterward in the city of Boston, North Carolina made a treat exhibit of her resources, and while it was a North Car Jlluia exhibit and ' attracted special tiencic n io mat otate, it contr buted great d tal towards attracting the atten tion of our .Northern . bi ethren to thm South generally. I am safe in saying tnat mimons of dollars have been In. vested lo North Carolina which m'ght be traceable directly to- these exhibi tions. . I mention this tot mpha&ize how im portant it. that the climate and re sources of the Southern ' States should be brought by proper means to the at tlon of the outside world. In doing this, however, -I wish to caution our pec pie against extravagant representa tions.:. One man deceived becomes an enemy and an obstacle in the way of others. This society should see to it that everything should be truthfully repieseated. There are two more errors into which we may fall in our anxiety to mov forward rapidly, against, which. I wUh to otter a word of camion. One is the temptation to ask big prices for our lands, water power and other like pro perty as soon as buyers begin to offer It is better that reason and justice should prevail in these as in fither things. The other is the temptation to invite and locate in our midst immigrants uo suited to tbe genius of our. institutions and surroundings." For myself, I. very mucb prefer to see-American ; property owners and-laborers: from , the cold bleak States of the JNorth .and North west settle among and help us in the development' of our ' section and enjoy with ns our baj my climate and natural advantages. -1 would not encourage the Indiscriminate iritrod notion of for eign immigrants into our mid-t. When they are brought here they should be selected with care and only those in duced te come who can become identi fied with us In Interest as loyal law abiding American citizens. One other. thing, my friends and I am done. After all tbe great work of dr veloping our resources and making our section the grandest pecriort of tbi great eountry. depends chiefly upon ourselves. While we invite .capital a&d labor to come among us . we m ust not look to that alone for' our growth and development. I had the honor at the " Atlanta Ex position in 1881 on the day - set apart for the meeting of the Governors there, to deliver a brief address, and in that address I expressed this same senti ment, to wit: that the great work of developing our loved country was with our own people, and that sentiment was heartily applauded... While we should be grateful to thoe who have invested their . money., in our midst - grateful to those who have cast their fortunes among as, I am sure I but speak the truth : when I say that a greater part of what has been done in the growth and development of our section is the result of the industry, energy and activity of our own people. If we will but be true tof ourselves to our people and to our section, relyin r in the main upon onr o wn intelligence, industry and activity, ever etfacilag and executing our laws in a 'spirit of Justice to all classes of persons and prop erty, we will see oar section growing and prospering until by and by our descendants will have the proud satis fation of knowing, that the South, in distributed wealth in peace, in general prosperity, in glory and In all that goes to make up a great people and a great state. leads our common country tn its onward march to the highest per fection of human government and hu man greatness. A PRIMARY FOR U. TORS. S. SENA- Vewt and Observer. Apropos to the resent issuance, by the Central Committee, ot a call for the meeting of the Democratic State Executive Committee ec the tztb prox imo, for the purpose of 'fixing a date for tbe SUte Coajreotioo, permit me to suggest U e a4vtsability.ot holding a Drtnary election to settle the Senato rial issue, in order that we may enter the eaovass' unhampered by. this partly personnel matter. ' For tome Jiule - -time I have given more or less tbeugbt to the different primary systems of the Southern. State particularly . that ot AXaanaa;, anu since ,the appointment ot our' new Senator, and the publication of his let ter of acceptance, in which besaya, io effect, that be Is a candidate for Sena tor Ransom's -seat, ft has ccerred to me that it would be a arise And polUle thing, toe the neeess ol the Democrat-, io party in North Carolina, to b y e a primary in every "township aml ward to the State the same daf. to permit Democratic voters to say w hotkey fa vor for United States Senator. j . It may not be amiss for me to say, in the outset, ' that": All tbe candidate (wboe names I bare - seen Mentioned in tbe papers) lor the eastern and wes tern Sen' orshio Ltx i my 1 vnozl friends. and.-so many worthy neu are In the Held, U is bard lor one to deter mine whom he is for until be has thor- Si&scrlptica 0s Delia t cxmy canvaaaea ibelr respective claims-thelr ability, j .jr, reeord, health, energy and probable usefulness to i their State, party and country.) So b n personal endto serve, bat in mklcing this suggestion of a primary im look! or to the interat nf m I,Tll.r.lna lhAt ot Individual. 1 8 K torn Ml. 0 urge. In I op- posit"" w . prunaryaqaxit would add a pew element of discord, for the iUn votn JArw issue Already confronts us, and .we must meet u. WouW not an expression of tbe preference of Demo cratic voters for either, jboth or neither of these gentlemen eliminate this per sonal Issue before the elect I m of mem bers cf the Legislature takes place, this conducing to harmony and unity of action? I . . If it be urred that the! first object is the-election of a Derm6ratie LtrUla. ture, and that the election of Senators -coroes later on, a Mifficient re d!v is that the primary is th- best means to tbU end, as will presently appear, j 9 here were many Democatic iiiem bers of tho last Legislature elected! by very fhiiU majorities, ringing frcm SO down to 20, 10-5, and. I blye even 3 votes. Supnise these men fit a Sena. tor was.to have been dibseni had been called out on "the stump to ssy who tbey favored for Senatoif It they lad told," could aay of them, with such narrow, margins, have been elected If they had even prudently said: I am for the best man, and for whoever you want for Senator,' would not the half hearted work of some of the frlendd , f he respective Senatorial, candidates have resulted iu defeat? Tb! year in many, if not all. coiin tWsof the State candidates will be"call rd out," and if we have la primary the candidates will say: "I ajn for John -Jones for Senator, the nan whom a majority ol the Democrats of this coun ty cay they want." . t Then neither Senator Jarvis' nor Senator Ransom's friends will or can complain, but will "fall into line" ju-t u they uo alter some favorite is de feated in a county or State convention. 1 cannot be claimed that the prims rv has been untried or Is a novelty in this State. It has existed for some time in Mecklenburg county, where tbe Dem ocratlc majority has steadily Increased from less than 100 before! its adoption tn shout 2.rtft0 sinna Its arlnnrlnn Tn fMecktenbarg it has had the effect of bringing out the entire Democratic yote, or practically so, an that is what we need most In the coming content In North Carolina. Our greatest danger is' apathy, or, if 1 may indulge in a eeming contradiction In terms, posi tive indifference. - In Anson county the men who were- bitterest in their opposition to the primary are today its warmest friends, and say that it has worked well, has the approval of the people,- and pleases them better than the old political methods. I For the life ot me, I cannot follow or see the force of the reasoning that con cludes that I a primary election, held in July, say, at which the j Democratic voters caa express their preference on the Senatorial question, will or can be a discordant element In the Democratic Human nature must change before anybody op mass of men, 1 or women, fe 1 displeased with being consulted about an Important matter, or witu being permitted to express their per sonal preferences tor - one man over another. Such action i would put every Democrat in North Carolina in good humor with his party,! except the en ttemen defeated for Senator, and they and their friends (if good; Democrats) would gracefully bow jto the will of a majority, of their party. j .Whether just or not - a notion ob tains among many Democrats iu the country, ihAt the towns, til politicians and the court house crowd, have too large a measure of infiuenbe, if not a controlling f'say," in County Conyens tious, as ordinarily managed. A pti mary would do much to jsaifefy this class and would give.the pUln country people (who constitute at once the strength anI hope ot Democracy) the same, opportunity to) express .their choice, ar.d the same influence, !n nam ing a SeTTator. tnat a banker, lawyer, doctor or professional politician u.8. A primary would not joalV bric out the Democratic vo'ers,! b?r if would tioid them solid, prevent bribery, dis affection anal straying from tbe fold about election day. For myself I am for an amendment to the Constitution that wlM provide for the plection of United States Senators by a direct vote of the. oeoDleL Thousands of Demo crats in North Carolina think the same way. It is a J reform which does. not wait; and I am informed text a com mittee of the loer House of Congress has . jut reported favorably to the ilouBe a bill providing for (election f United Mates Venator by the people. Until this can be .'one, a primary will please the large class who favor it, with out offending any other clas of Dem ocrats In North Carolina. ' But how anil when shall tne primvy becatltd? j : ' !
