Mr Rhodes on Krugerism

The following are passages from th§ speech of Mr Rhodes at the opening of the Congress of the South African League at.Oape Town on the 10th of October, a summary only of whiHf^ was telegraphed at the time to this country:— , Woll, gentlemen, we have had a great battlp. And whom have we been fighting ? The Dutch t Let us be quite clear abo-u.t that. We have been fighting Krugerigm— (hear» Jhear)—• and if we can only press that home to tho prople who live with vb —the people who are going to develop Africa with us—we shall do good service* (Hear, hear.) You may say, What do you SEean by Krugfiriem! Well, Krugeriem is what anyone of us might be led into. Given enormous power and a simple minded people, the ten dency is to absorb (Everything. Afr first you have perhaps a hundred people with you in the inner circle; and you gradually reduce them to almost yourself. That is Krugerism, and {hat is what has happened in the Transvaal, The Administration of the Trsnsvnal was Krugc.r, £ remrmber well speaking to Dr Leyds at B'oenafontein, when we went up to that opening of the railway, and I said to him, 'Why dp you not im , press on Mr Kruger this and that change V He sml, ' I assure you, Mr Rhodes, we have no power whatsoever with him. The Government; of the Transvaal is Kruger, and Krager alone' He said, 'I am kept because [ Bin useful, but I can assure you, if you think I influence him in these directions of maintaining monopolies, I keeping out the Uitlanders, and the various other gross grievances which were created in the Transvaal—if you think we tupport him in that, you make- a great mistake. Always remfia ber the Government of the Transvaal is Kruger, and none else.' And that, continued Mr Rhodes, is what we were fighting, and it is marvellous', if you ■ think of it, how everyone cornea tothe same conclusion. I know that none will be more pleased than the Batch to be free of that awful terrorism of the Inner Circle of the Bond. (Hear, hear.) It was similar to Kruger in Pretoria. There was Dr Leyds shiver* ing at every word Mr Kruger said, and three were members in this House of Assembly down here shivering at the words of the Committee van Toe isicht, -(Hear, hear.) And the same thing existed at Rloemfontein between Mr Borekeohagen and President Steyn, so that there were from six to seven people composing this Chamber of Terror, this Inquisition—this position h not an incorrect one—and with the Progressive Dutch we have to fight that position until we get back to the position of equal tights. r

To this, coupled with rigid care in the selection of lives, has been due the unprecedentedly low irate of mortality which the office has en joyed. Year by year the actual deaths have fallen far short of what was anticipated, and the funds thereby saved have all gone to swell the profits, which at the valuation in 1896 (for three years) amounted in.GJLBH to £225,000 Sterling.
