©he democrat X. BLAOKBVRK, Proprietor. FRIDA Y, JULY 10, 1891. I. ■ ■ • PURITY IN POLITICS. Grover Cleveland at a dinner of the Commercial Club held at Providence, R. 1., June 29th, spoke as follows on private and special legislation: “1 never attend a gathering of business men and recall the restless activity which they present and the strain of the brain which they willingly bear for the sake of profit and success without wondering that they are content to be so thoroughly engrossed in the immediate details of their occupations as often to lead to an habitual neglect of those affairs which, though outside of their counting houses, exchanges and manufactories have an intimate relation to their prosperity. “No one can be oblivious of the fact that matters of legislation and the course of governmental policy are so important in the business in which we engage that our individ" ual efforts in its prosecution may be easily promoted or thwarted by the conduct of those who make and execute'our laws. “1 am by no means unmerciful of the spasmodic interference of business interests in politics, spurred on by a selfish desire to be especially and exclusively aided through legislative action. “Such interference based upon such motives is more blameworthy than inactivity, because it amounts to an attempt to pervert governmental functions, which is worse than a neglect of political responsi bility. But I speak of a heedlessness of the duty resting on every one of u« American citizens to participate thoughtfully and intelli- ’ gently in the general conduct of the goverment which is ours and which has been left to our management “I seek to remind you of the interest which you and all of us have as members of our American body politic, in wholesome g«noral laws i and honest administration. This interest is represented by the share to which each of us is entitled in the aggregate of advantage which such laws and such administration secures. “This interest and this duty are surely worth all the attention we can bestow upon them, and the penalty of our neglect we shall surely not escape. “In order that the patriotism and intelligence of the country should prevail in our legislation, the patriotic and intelligent men of the country moat see to it that they are properly iepresented in our national councils. “If they fail in this they will be governed by those who simply make a trade of politics. Or it it is well that our legislation be influenced by the enlightened and practical business sense of the people our business men must see to it that those they trust are chosen as their lawmakers. “If they are indifferent on the subject the vast interests which so concern them and all their fellowcitizens will be left at the mercy of those who neither understand them nor care for them; and I don’t* believe those dangers will be effectively averted until they are better understood by the people and more thoroughly resisted. “The people have a right to claim from their representatives their best care and attention to the great sub- ,. ject of legislation in which the entire country is interested. This is denied them if their representatives take their seats burdened with private bills m which their immediate neighbors are exclusively interested and which they feel they must be diligent in advancing if they secure their continuance in public life. “They are thus led by the exigencies of their situation, as they view it, uot only to the support of private trills of questionable propriety, but the neglect of a steady understand'C.fey, .... . - - ■ si ....

ing of the important questions involved in general legislation. “Nor does the pernicious effect of such special and private legislation stop here. The importance of a successful championship of these private bills—measured by a standard which ought not for a moment to be recognized—seems so vital to those having them in charge that they are easily led to barter their votes for measures as bad or worse than theirs in order to secure the support of similarly situated colleagues. “Thus is inaugurated a system called log-rolling which comes frightfully near actual legislative curruption; and thus the people at large lose not only the attention to their affairs which is due to them, but are often no better than robbed of the money in the public treas. ury. “I have not mentioned the aspect of special and private legislation which seems to me most pernicious. I refer to the habit which it engenders among our people looking to the government tor aid in the accomplishment of special and individual schemes and the expectation which it creates and fosters that legislation may be invoked for the securing of individual advantages and unearned benefits. “The relations of our countrymen toward the government should be founded upon their love tor it, as their fountain head of their national hfe; their faith in it as the power which preserves a free people; their reverence for it as the perfect work of the highest patriotism; their confidence in its justice and equality and their pride in its ownership and management. “These should furnish at all times a sufficient motive for a lively interest in public affairs and should supply abundant incentive to popular watchfulness ot legislative and executive methods.

“In the light of these considerations no thoughtful American can shut his eyes to the truth that when our people regard our government as the source of individual benefit and favoritism and when their interest in it is measured by the extent to which they hope to realize such benefit and favoritism our government is in dangerous hands and its entire perversion is alarmingly imminent. “These perils are not alone chargeable to legislation which is confessedly special and private. Measures of a general character and apparently proposed for the public good frequently originate in selfish calculations or so completely subserve in their details selfish plans that they also tend toward the fatal point of sordidness among the people and unjust paternalism in the government. “No matter what plausible pretext may be advanced for such legislation, if it has in it these elements it ought to be condemned. Neither the cry of protection to American interests nor pretended solicitude for the public good ought to succeed in concealing schemes to favor the few at the expense of the many, nor should the importadbe to the country of legislative action upon any subject divert from inquiry concerning the selfish motives and purposes which may be hidden be--kind the proposal of such legislation. “It is quite tiwe that our business men, and all American citb&ens who love their country bestir themselves fpr battle against the evil tendency of private and special leigislation, whatever it may assume. At this time no important truth can be presented to oer people than that they should support their gw. i enMQßnt m love and patriotism, and remain unselfishly content with the blessings and advantages which our free institutions were established to bestow with justice and equality upon every citizen throughout the length and breadth of oar land.” —■■■■■ », Bosse’s Mountain Salve.
