On motion of Senator Blickensderfer, and with the unanimous consent of the Senate, the Lincoln Birthday remarks of Former Senator Bill Schroeder are printed below.
Mr. President, Members of the Senate, and Guests:
This morning I'm here to talk to you about our 16' President, Abraham Lincoln. Abe remembers little from his early years 'in Kentucky. The family Bible told him that he had been born on the 12 Day of February, 1809, in a back woods cabin three miles south of Hodgenville. Lincoln accomplishments are reported in just about every way possible, including electronically on the we I wonder what he would think if he could see what our country has accomplished, how readily information is available and how quickly we can communicate with each other and between the North and the South.
I've acquired numerous books about our 16' President, each one adding some of the same thoughts plus new interpretation of his life. One such book, "Abraham Lincoln -- Selected Speeches, Messages and Letters", by Professor T. Harry Williams (I 909 -1979) reflected some of the following thoughts and it appeared to me that they reflect a little on our present times.
If Abraham Lincoln had been asked what his philosophy of politics was, he probably would have been amused. If he had been asked if he possessed an ideology, he would have been amazed. Indeed, he would not have comprehended the meaning of that modem term. Lincoln believed deeply in certain principles, but he never assumed to erect his opinions into a philosophy or a doctrine. Nor did he believe that because he happened to hold a particular office, even the highest in the American political system, he had the right to translate his opinions into action or law and thus impose them on other people. Lincoln distrusted people who had rigid, preconceived theories about human nature or society, who had neat blueprints for abrupt and sweeping changes in social organization, and who proposed to put their plans into effect regardless of opposition or consequences. It was his dislike of theoretical change that led him to oppose the abolitionist, those nineteenth-century idealist who wanted to strike down slavery immediately even though the result might be to destroy the nation.
In his political thinking Lincoln was a pragmatist in the best tradition of British and American politics. He had his principles and he held to them, but he did not attempt to force them on others merely because they were his. He believed in making needed changes at the night time --changes that were night and moral but that were also demonstrably sound in the light of social experience and present realities. Lincoln's concept of how change should come may be illustrated by using the figure of a machine. If something seems to be wrong with the machine -- the nation, the Union --
what do you do? Some would say, don't tinker with it, you may ruin it. Others would say, throw it away and get a new one. Lincoln's notion, which has been the guiding principle of all the great American political leaders, was to make a change in the machine: remove the defective part and add a needed new one -- all at the right moment. But, whatever you do, keep the machine going; don't make any change that will destroy it. In order to keep the machine of the Union operating before 1860, Lincoln was willing to tolerate, for a time, the institution of slavery, of which he disapproved. "Much as I hate slavery," he said, "I would consent to the extension of it rather than to see the Union dissolved, just as I would consent to any great evil, to avoid a greater one."
Four primary principles are apparent in Lincoln's thought. They formed the core or the basis of American political philosophy in the middle period of the nineteenth century; they were the common beliefs of most Americans. Lincoln took them from his environment and made them his own. Those four principles are:
(1)Some supernatural force, God or a Guiding Providence, largely directed the affairs of men.
(2)Man possessed a higher nature. He could reason, and he could distinguish night from wrong. Hence, he was capable of governing himself and of achieving almost unlimited social progress.
(3) The most efficient economic system was one in which most people owned property. All men should strive to secure property. Some would get more than others, which was the way the system
Page 250 Senate Joumal-3 8th Day-February 12, 1999
was supposed to work. But there must be equal opportunity for all; no class or group should enjoy special privileges.
(4) The American Union, the world's greatest democracy. It is the supreme demonstration of democracy and the hope of world democracy. The Union is precious because it made men free in the United States and would, by the force of example, eventually make them free everywhere. It must, therefore, be sustained and preserved-regardless of hazard or cost.
Lincoln attested his devotion to these principles in document after document. He believed that the two great documents in the American experience, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, reflected the spirit of Divine law and hence would endure forever. "I hold", he said in the First Inaugural, "that in contemplation of universal law, and of the Constitution, the Union of these states is perpetual."
In his writings there is no evidence of the fear that plagued some conservatives of his time: the fear of the tyranny of numbers. "Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people?" he asked. "Is there any better, or equal hope, in the world?" He believed that the American system of government established such a balance between the central government and the component parts of the nation that no majority produced by the hysteria of a moment could ever prevail. "A majority, held in restraint by constitutional checks, and limitations, and always changing easily, with deliberate changes of popular opinions and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people," he said. "Whoever rejects it, does of necessity, fly to anarchy or to despotism".
Lincoln's economic ideas were completely the product of his environment. They may be described as the views of the small capitalist -- the farmer or the shopkeeper. The economy Lincoln knew, large numbers of people owned property, and they operated their property to make a living. Many owners of property were also laborers; that is, they worked in their own establishments. Lincoln admired the American economic system because he thought that it offered to all men an equal opportunity to acquire property. Always Lincoln denied that labor was a fixed class in American society or that there was a permanent gulf between employers and workers. Most men, he contended, worked as laborers to obtain capital to become employers or to enter a profession -- as he himself had done. "I take it that it is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can," he said. "I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good.... When one starts poor, as most do in the race of life, free society is such that he knows he can better his condition..."
The fourth principal in the American philosophy -- the exaltation of the American Union-- was tile one that aroused Lincoln's deepest devotion. This principle stimulated his thinking more than the others, and to it he gave a significant and original extension. Other countries are held together by culture, tradition, or race, but the Union rested on the principle of equality of opportunity, stated in the Declaration of Independence and inherent in the American social system. At Independence Hall in Philadelphia in 1861, on his journey to Washington to be inaugurated president, Lincoln paid tribute to the meaning of America's great idea, "that sentiment ... which gave liberty not alone to the people of this country, but hope to the world for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights would be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance." You see, the American Union had a world mission: to demonstrate by example that democracy would work, that democracy was the best system of government for free men. Always he attempted to show that preservation of the Union was important for the universal family of mankind. The war was "a people's contest," to maintain in the world "that form and substance of government, whose leading object is, to elevate the condition of men." The Union was "the last, best hope of earth;" it represented "man's vast future."
The great issue which history associates with Lincoln's name is slavery. He was opposed to slavery on moral, political, and economic grounds. He believed that the presence of the institution weakened the ideal and the reality of American democracy. He also opposed the abolitionists, who wanted to destroy it immediately. He disliked and distrusted them because they had a theory of change, and wanted to enforce their theory on others regardless of the effects. He condemned their readiness to force abolition on a reluctant South and their refusal to consider the practical problems that would follow. Above all, he was appalled by their willingness to give up the Union if they could not have their way. They were extremists, he thought, and fully as dangerous as the most aggressive advocates of slavery expansion.
At an early date in his career he formulated his views on slavery and never seriously modified them. They were embodied in resolutions which he and a colleague presented in the Illinois legislature in 1837 declaring that slavery was founded on "injustice and bad policy" but that Congress had no legal power to interfere with it in the states where it existed. Then in 1854 something happened that changed the picture for Lincoln, and changed the course of his life. Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which provided for the organization of two new territories, Kansas and Nebraska, in a region where by the terms of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, slavery had been excluded. The measure repealed the earlier act and permitted slaveholders to move into the territories. The status of slavery in these areas would be determined by "popular sovereignty" --
Senate Joumal-38th Day-February 12, 1999 Page 251
the recipe of one Senator Stephen A. Douglas, which meant that the legislatures of the territories would decide whether slavery should be permitted. The Kansas-Nebraska Act jolted Lincoln. From 1854 until his nomination for the presidency in 1860, he was on the campaign trail almost constantly warning the country of the designs of the slavocracy and of the effects the success of those designs would have on the democratic ideal.
As President of the United States during the Civil War, Lincoln was charged with a great task, a more difficult one than any other American leader before or since has been called upon to meet. His task was to preserve a nation. He had to bring the seceded states back into the Union, to conduct a bloody civil war, and to maintain a basic unity of purpose among his own divided people. Lincoln was able to fulfill his mission because he possessed the five qualities that Profess Allan Nevins (1 890 - 197 1) has called the conditions of statesmanship: intellectual power, moral strength, an instinct for the spirit and needs of his time, an instinctive understanding of the masses, and, in order to mold public opinion, and Lincoln's passion for democracy. To Lincoln, preservation of the Union was the paramount objective of the war. The Union dwarfed all other issues, including slavery. He intended to save the nation by whatever methods seemed most likely to succeed. As he told Horace Greeley in his famous reply to that editor's plea for an emancipation policy, his primary purpose was to maintain the Union and was not either to destroy or to save slavery. At the same time Lincoln understood clearly that slavery was the provoking cause of the war. It was, he said, "the disturbing element"; it would always stimulate trouble until it was removed.
In closing, let me remind you of Lincoln's comments to the weary soldiers of the 166th Ohio Regiment.
It is not merely for today, but for all time to come, that we should perpetuate for our children's children that great and free government which we have enjoyed all our lives. I beg you to remember this, not merely for my sake, but for yours. I happen, temporarily, to occupy this White House. I am a living witness that any one of your children may look to come here as my father's child has. It is in order that each one of you may have, through this free government which we have enjoyed, an open field and fair chance for your industry, enterprise, and intelligence; that you may all have equal privileges in the race of life, with all its desirable human aspirations. It is for this, the struggle should be maintained, that we may not lose our birthright
