Southern Wings and the Tari6
Policy.
The Legislature of North Carolina, no
long since, passed preamble and resolli
tons in reference to the Tariff policy, which
probably give form and expression to a sen
tinlent, which. at the present jincture, per.
vades the Southern mind We copy the
preamble and first resolution
ssWHEREAs, The Southern States ofthis
Union have, since the formation of the Fed
eral Government fostered and snourished
the manufacturing and mining interests o.
the non-slavehoIding States, by voting tic
impose high taxes on Tr1poftations from
foreign countrieswhich mi gIt come in com,
petition with the productions of the labor
and industry of the aforesaid non-slavheol,
ding States; and whereas, these acts of gen.
crosby and self-sacriice have been unap-
preciated at the North, and the peop'e OF
that section show disposition to make
unceasng attacks upon our institutions and
property; therefore,
RESOLVED, That the State of North
Carolina feels herself under no further OBJ
legations. by the votes of her representa-
tives in Congress or otherwise, to protect
the "home industry of the non-slavehol-
ding States"
The first proposition i'll the preamble

nearly unanimous i'll their opposition to all
Tariffs in which the principle of protection
could be discovered, and. as a general rule,
the Democratic party in the South has in
corporated this opposition into their party
creed, and more especially since the con-
was opened by the expiration of
the Compromise Bill In 1912 But the
Wings at the South have occupied a more
national position upon this policy Bcliev-
ing that Tariff for revenue, III which dis

nue. standard, in favor of American indus

The Nation, they sustained the Tariff OF
1912. Without their votes it could not
have been passed. They voted against
that of 1916. These votes were given
without reference to self. Wing members
in Congress planted themselves on
national platform, upon this question, and
their constituents nobsy sustained them-
