II is remarkable that South Carolina was the first
state to breach the principle Of protection by the
passage of the duty Of three cents pound on cot
ton. And again in 1916 Mr.. Calhoun recognized
and enforced the doctrine. When, however, her
cotton no longer required protection and when her
fields were made barren by the superior fertility Of
the West, dissatisfaction was felt and loudly ex.

+, The people of that State are now engaged in
manufactures; and all through the mountain re-
