THE HOME AND THE FLAG.
STUDIES IN SOCIAL ECONOMICS—BY J. ELLEN FOSTER.
XIV.
nnHE scale of being in human life toward which all civilized na-
i tions to-day tend, and which finds its fullest realization in the
United States, is of Humanity commanding the resources of na-
ture for the perfect satisfaction of its ever increasing wants.
The dominance of mind over matter, of man over nature, is
conditioned on social as.well as material development. Nature
at her best refuses to respond to the individual man; alone he
knocks in vain at her storehouse of treasure; man and his brother
together may find and bind all that nature has to give.
Not only as related to material objects, but to his own awaken-
ing and development, is man a weakling when separated from
his fellows. He reaches his best estate in persona! well-being in
proportion as he is united to his fellows in harmonious and di-
versified relations.
- It is not good for man to live alone" is the early declaration
of Scripture; it is demonstrated by history and current events to
be the basis of political science and of sound economics. Out
of this demonstration has arisen the science of sociology, and the
human term. Social Economics, occupies the ground formerly
claimed by Potitical Economy.
Every plan of human relations which can be dignified as a
system must now recognize this Nineteenth century evolution out
of the mere physical, the individual and the mercantile existence
of the noble animal of the genus homo, into the whole social hu-
man being—man—prince of the wor!d, and heir of the universe.
Let it atso be rem'embered that action always precedes theory
in the order of human development. Men. driven by instinct
and desire. ,do the things which their present necessities demand;
they build better than they know; out of individual and appar-
ently temporary conditions, a plan of conduct arises and holds
men to a continuously harmonious manner of tife. At) atongthe
road by which men come more and mote to accept this manner
of life lie heaps of debris; they are policies, customs, institutions,
which have served a temporary use; they were tentative dwellings
for the people; the test of the years proved them to be mere
scaffolding for the real temple which was being built; they were
wood hay, stubble, and. having served their use. were burned.
One hundred years ago. and a little more, a glorious structure
of constitutional government arose on these western shores.
Into its building was put immemorial usage, chartered rights.and
that marvelously beautifu) flower of Christian civilization—popu-
lar sovereignty. One ugly piece of scaffolding (African slavery)
long remained; it rested so heavily on joice and timbers within
the structure that its removal shook the building tike earthquake
throes; the debris left is still seen in heaps of race prejudice and
political abuses. Thank God. constitutional government is still
secure. That which was declared as a necessary refuge from
monarchial and parliamentary infringement on the rights of Brit-
ish subjects (these colonies are, and of right ought to be, free
and independent states) was the forerunner of a politi( al system
which all the world covets, And which now shelters sixty-five mil-
lions of people, who represent the highest form of development
which the race has attained.
The colonists who in 1607 and 1620 came to these shores,
following the Anglo-Saxon instinct to migrate toward the setting
sun, did not intend to found an independent state. Even those
scholarly statesmen who dominated the Puritan element in the
New England settlements, and who doubtless from the first
sought to materialize their dreams of church and state, and of a
church-state, endeavored to mould a civilization which should
bless the people within the constitutional limits of the British
monarchy. They did not seek to found a new government; they
acted first as their necessities demanded; they theorized, a decade
later, in the constitution under which their posterity now live.
