Hard Cover Copyright 1907 378 Pages Ex-Library Book THE work of reconstructing the political standing of certain southern states, impaired by at- tempted secession, was well-nigh completed by 1877. In the decade following, the foundations were unconsciously laid for the national edifice which is the glory of the present age. Old precedents were gone, new industrial conditions were confronted, new routes of commerce were discovered, and new political policies were worked out. Modern accumulation of wealth and modern combinations of labor here found a beginning. The national credit, impaired by depreciated paper issues, was restored by the resumption of specie payments. Increased Asiatic immigration to California caused the first barriers to be erected against the admission of a foreign people; and conditions in Utah demanded federal regulation of a social question, thus establishing a new precedent. Many of the limitations through constitutional interpretation, which had been a hindrance to congressional action, disappeared after the final arbitration of war; thenceforth expediency and the general good were to be the criteria of action.
