II is known too, that 4 very large
amount Of American stocks have Leen
sold and are being sold in Europe. how
much Of the svsils Of which, have been

lor thus applied. We do know that .
debt is created against u. the interest
Of which must be paid from sins TO
time. and tho principal when |, comes
TO maturity. Tha. millions Of these
sto'ks would have been taken BY our
own capitalists. and the money paid for
them kept At home, there can be no
doubt. il the immense sums paid for
foreign prsduc,. and labor. had been
paid to our own farmers, munufac,ar.
ers and mechanics.
1t ia no matter Of surprise ,ha, IN.
few cotton growing states should man,
ifrsi an Indifference to the protective
policy, their own products finding a
ready foreign market, need no pro,~c
ton.
But why should they maintain such
an incessan' and hitter hostility TO hi,
systcm; which was carried w Far in
South Carolna some twenty yea-s ago.
as TO lead 10 the adoption Of On ordi.
nance by that state, declaring tbs, they
would pay no more duties to the gen.

there for this opposition TO the protect.
i've policy, carried a, that time to ih'
verge OF open rebellion aud NO slradi

While protection is Of incalculable
importance TO the industrial interest
OF the whole country, except the hv'
cotton growing states. whose product
find a foreign market, ard therefore
need no protection, siiR, Il works ne
possible evil to those states. Protee,
ing our own manufactures would grca,

consumption Of their cotton. Il ~ou''
seem therefore, that with all due r-gar'
10 charity, such invererate hostility II
a protective tariff. can be prompted b,
no higher impnl,es thau envy a ,h'
