Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A True Republic WE have been living under the Constitution of the United States now nearly one hundred years, and in that time we have done a great work. We have cleared a wil derness, filled it with thriving cities and villages, and cover ed it with railroads and mills. We have, in the main, a free and law-abiding people. We have become one Of the great nations of the earth. Many men, too, think that we have a nearly perfect form Of government, that here at last a true Republic has reached a ripe growth. Yet we nearly all agree that the daily working of this government is not what we wish. Men in all parts Of the country say much Of Civil Service Reform. It means one thing - that whatever they may think as to the theory Of our government, it does not in practice give satisfactory results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Republic The etiquette of American diplomacy is not to be measured by the Old World standard of propriety. The republican simplicity which pretends to see in a court dress a badge of servitude, will possibly find nothing astonishing in the American Minister to a Monarchical Govern ment lecturing the subjects of the Queen on the advantages of Democracy. What would be the American comment were the British Minister at Washington to lecture the citizens of New York on the divine right of kings With what pleasure does Mr. Lowell think the Russian Government would regard the British Ambassador addressing the merchants of Moscow on the priceless blessing of representative institutions?

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Years of the Republic, 1885-1905 When the new President entered the carriage which was to convey him to his official home, few gave any thought to a gentleman who had stood quietly beside him throughout the simple ceremonial, and who presently took friendly leave Of him with a cordial clasp Of the hand and a word or two Of congratulation and good will. It was the familiar little scene that has been so frequently enacted in our country - when one who, for a few short years, has been the ruler Of a nation and the peer Of monarchs, goes back, at the stroke of the clock, into the Obscurity Of private citizenship, unheeded and unheralded amid the strident din that welcomes his successor. There is always some thing half pathetic in this sudden transformation, yet it is impressive too; for it symbolises American reverence for law. Ex - President Arthur, though unnoticed at the moment when he quietly slipped away from Washington, carried with him into private life the respect and confidence Of all his countrymen, for he had governed well and wisely.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public and Republic: Political Representation in America No political problem is more fascinating than that of arranging the representation of the many local and general interests that compose modern society, and none is more frustrating to the scientist and the man of good will. In the village of North Saint Paul, where this preface is written, the active citizens have been continually debating the alternative merits of an elected or of an appointive professional administration of their affairs. The villagers want economy and efficiency in government, but they do not want to lose any of their sense of being represented.

The preface to the contents of this pamphlet, much of which had been published before imperialism had been as clearly defined as it now, and by the debates in the last Congress in which so many competent lawyers partici pated, has been prepared at the request of the Democratic State Committee of New York. The Democratic National Convention declared at Kansas City that the burning issue of imperialism, growing out of the Spanish war, involves the very existence of the Republic, and the destruction of our free institutions. We regard it as the paramount issue of the campaign.' Thereafter the issue could not be evaded. The Republican Campaign Text Book, recently issued by the Republican National Committee, has emphasized it as supreme, and attempted its definition.

For a long time it was a stigma on the name and pretensions of this republic, - nay, a scandal, that the nation which stood for and proclaimed to the world the very acme of human freedom had a great section of its country governed under the system of chattel slavery, of the most com plete kind. Not until 1865 was there any real consistency in the freedom pretensions of the United States. If we institute monarchy or political despotism, or military rule, over the peoples of these new possessions, then we are countenancing the monarchical principle; then we are adopting the form of government and polit ical methods which the Monroe Doctrine declares it to be a part of our misston and destiny to pre vent from ever entering this hemi sphere.

Download or read book Rise and Reign of the Bourbon Oligarchy Classic Reprint written by Joseph C. Manning and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rise and Reign of the Bourbon Oligarchy "The compromises on the slavery question, inserted in the Constitution, were among the essential conditions upon which the Federal Government was organized. If the African slave trade had not been permitted to continue for twenty years, if it had not been conceded that three-fifths of the slaves should be counted in the apportionment of representatives in Congress, if it had not been agreed that fugitives from service should be returned to their owners, the Thirteen States would not have been able in 1787 'to form a more perfect union.' These adjustments in the Constitution were effected after the Congress of the old Confederation had dedicated the entire Northwest Territory to freedom. The ancient commonwealth of Virginia had, for the good of all, generously and patriotically surrendered her title to the great country north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi, which today constitutes five prosperous and powerful states and a not inconsiderable portion of a sixth. This was the first territory of which the general government had exclusive control, and the prompt prohibition of slavery therein by the Ordinance of 1787 is an important and significant fact. The ante-slavery restriction would doubtless have been applied to the territory south of the Ohio had the power existed to impose it. The founders of the government not only looked to the speedy extinction of slavery, but they especially abhorred the idea of a geographical line, with freedom decreed on one side, and slavery established on the other. But the territory south of the Ohio belonged to the Southern States of the Union, - Kentucky to Virginia; Tennessee to North Carolina; Alabama and Mississippi to Georgia, with certain co-extensive claims put forward by South Carolina.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Republic: Founded on the Natural and Inalienable Rights of Man, and Containing the Outlines of Such a Government as the Patriot Fathers Contemplated and Formulated in the Declaration of Independence When Struggling for Liberty Permit me to say that I pronounce "The New Republic" a superior work on the subject of which it treats, both in its arrangements and the subject matter presented - Geo. T. Elliot. The work of Dr. Schellhous will rank with Henry George's "Progress and Poverty.""The New Republic" is a school-book for the people, - a popular educator for the American voter, - the problems in which must be understood before the New Republic which he foreshadows can be an accomplished fact. - E. M. Dewey, in Tulare County Journal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Abolition of the State: An Historical and Critical Sketch of the Parties Advocating Direct Government, a Federal Republic, or Individualism The anti-governmental and anti-state school I desire to put an end to the era of imposed authority, and of a state of things in which the governing and the governed coexist, and demand that society can effect nothing without previously obtaining the assent of the majority. But as this majority would in nearly every case vary, the idea of a majority and a minority in society would cease to exist; and it therefore could not be said that the latter were tyrannised over by the former.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Republic, Vol. 1 of 3 The conditions to be deplored and that attract, and force themselves on, our attention are found to be the outgrowth of inequitable distribution of wealth - a condition of great wealth concentration on the one hand and that of poverty on the other - such as doubtless suggested, to the mind of a great writer, the title of the work, Progress and Poverty. The citizen, who puts a proper estimate on the mental qualities of the American peo ple and who has reflected on the nature of, and the laws governing, political progress, will never fear but that these conditions Will be righted sooner or later and in one way or another; but every one should, at the same time, feel that he ought to take part in solving the problems call ing for solution and assist in the establishment of the proper conditions, and with this end in view, this volume is offered to my countrymen.
