the South than at the North. The immense wa-

now compelled to carry It's Cotton TO hna mar
so. .osether with the almost total want oil an
available home market for the large surplus OF
agricultural products which 1t could so easuy NC
made 70 Weld under the slightest prospect OF
remoneratiye demand, have been regarded as ciF-
cums,ances that must eventually and inevitably
lead the South to assume high grounds IN favor
of Protection, aud 10 tum to a Tariit as her
greatest and most indispensable blessing. The
predictions on this subject were forcibly recalled
TO our mind by reading the following paragraph
in Mr.. Clay's Speech at Raleigh
Ir cannot be- questioned ta, the chief cause OF the
reduced price ci Cotton Is the excess ci production
Ibr prc,. o it would ,isc, il less were produced, hi

The dav Kill come and is not far distant, when
the South will feel an imperative necessity volun-

bor Considering the vast water power, and other
facilities of manufacturing now wasting ana uneni-
ploved at the South and iis nj home. at
tbe choice of the raw material believe the day will
come when the Cotton region will be the greatest
manufacturing region of Cotton IN the world
This as any man can see who will see, IS the
;ncon,rouertibiy true doctrine. and the pre-
dic,ion it contains is prophecy. indications
are not wanting, too that the period OF this happy
change in opinion at the South, and consequently
Of the condition Of mems Interests and prosperity
there, is rapidly approaching. Indeed, already
throushou, the South are the Wing party unani
mously arraved in favor of Protection.
The following correspondence between Mr..
SUMMERS, Member OF Congress from the Kanawha
District, Virginia, and Mr. STEWART, Represen-
tativc from the Somerset District, Pennsylvania,
is entirely to the purpose of what we have been
saving. In the language Of the Baltimore Patriot,
"the manly stand taken by Mr.. Summers and
others of the best sons OF the Old Dominion, has
already worked wonders. Before their argu-
ments error has been obliged to give way, and
the present indications in Virginia Justify the
sbelief that as the question Of the Tariff becomes
more generally understood, the popular opinion
will increase in It's favor, till this hitherto strong
ant. Tariff State will become one OF its most ear
nest advocates Already the Wing party, com.
posing the majority Of the people of the State,
are unanimous in favor OF the Tariff of 1912
The consderate and judicious among the Loco.
Foco party cannot long withhold their approba-
ton of it, il they allow their reason to have
sway. But it is not only in Virginia that public
sentiment in the South has declared 10 favor OF
the Tariff-North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee
Louisiana, and every other Southern State where
'Whg principles have ascendancy, are also
strongly in favor of the Tariff of S42."
Here is the correspondence, which speaks for
itself:
