THE TARIFF AT THE SOUTH.

We copy from a Mississippi newspaper (the
Jackson Southron) the following extract from the
Planters Manifesto, issued by one hundred and
fosr planters After their preamble, they make this
declaration Of their appreciation of the present tariff
"They in favor Of such tariff that Of 1912, be-
affords, they believe, adequate protection to all
kinds of domestic labor and renders Independent only
in name but in fact.
Because they believe will induce the North large
vestments Of capital and the employment OF large number Of
laborcs the manufacture Of cotton goods that IT will
tend the consumption Of manufactured ARTICLES, and thereby
increase the demand for the material that will give the
growers of cotton two markets instead Of one, and of
those a home market.
Because protects indirectly the growers Of small grain
and gives them home market.
Because protects indirectly the hemp growers and gives
them home Market aud keeps the large amount Of capital
and labor invested that business from being employed
in extending the culture OF cotton.
Because protects indirectly the breeders Of hogs Of
horses of mules, and gives them home market.
Because il protects the producer Of sugar. gives him

labor invested in the culture of cane from being directed the
already redundant production OF cotton.
Because they believe that all experience proves that its
ultimate tendency 10 reduce the price Of manufactured
goods and thereby benefit consumers Of all classes
Because they believe that one great interest of the
country be adequately protected without in degree
extending protection TO all other interests and that de-
essential benefit from the general prosperity Of other
pursuits than the cotton grower

The !" Morning News" appears to have some
painful recollections of the t00-thrds rule adopted
by the Baltimore Democratic Convention, which
had the effect Of destroying Mr.. Van Burens pros
pect for the Presidency, and of eecting Mr.. Polk.
The News says, in speaking of the meeting OF
Congress
The first interesting subject which will engage the
attention Of the House Of Representatives will be the election
of its officers These matters will be settled In the Demo-
for there be reasonable doubt the scec
tions there made will be umphany sustained in the House.
There Of mischievous fellows in the world who do
hesitate their hope that the twothrds rule will
adopted the those who indulge this hope being
confident in the belief that the practical effect Of the rule would
be dash the swelling expectations Of friends of the
Washington Unon and also Of three candidates for

- This reads all very pretty upon paper, and WI
conclude from it that the President at least got hi.

rule If the whole truth, and nothing but tn,
truth, is ever revealed in regard to that nomination
some harsher epithets than those Of the News will
be applied toit. Another thing that will strike the
reader singularly in this article is the unblushing
avowal that every thing in Congress, and previous
to the meeting of Congress, must be disposed OF
under the dictation Of King Caucus. The Wings
