rs the period is rapidly approaching when
ih" sovereign people of this Congressional
District will be called upon to elect Repre-
sentative TO Congress; and as the several as
pirants on the part Of the Democracy for that

IS to compass their success, we think it would
be a matter Of great interest to know what
platform Of political principles the Alleeany

DOUGLAS IN SOUTH CARuINA- article
taken from prominent Democratic Journal
Of South Carolina, the Edgiiei Advertiser
which undertakes to answer for the State the
grave question, "Shall we accept Douglas ~
The Advertiser pronounccs decidedly enough
in the affirmative; and does not shrink from
giving its reason for this conclusion.
Mr.. Douglas thinks the Advertiser. is the
most'available' Democratic man Of the hour
he is Notunal Democrat. II he is not elected
Banks or some other Abolitonist worse than
Banks, may be; for there is no other candi-
date upon whom Northern Democrats can
concentrate. And finally, it is idle to hope
that the defeat Of the Democracy in 1860 will
work that long praycd-for desideratum OF the
South dissolution of the Ution. For these
various reasons, the Edgefield Advertiser deem
it better to win with Douglas than 20 oppose
and he beaten.
AS matters now stand the Little Giant is,
unquestionably the pis-aller of the Southern
Democracy. Their gorge rises at him. But
they have nearly year in which to prepare
for the odioNs embrace, Who shall say that
the bans will be finally forbidden by the
Charleston Convention A sugar-coating pro-
cess has already commenced upon the bitter
pill, and the reas ms which have convinced
the Edgeiie!dAdrertiser may have their weight
with the Southern mind generally, One Of
the strongest possible recommendations of a
candidatei is confidence in his success. That
is a qualification which. like tho mantle Of
charity, covers multitude of offences. Our
Palmetto brethren are chivalrous, self-sacri-
ficing, devoted, heroic. But they dish defeat
as little as any other people. When they crei-
it the Yankees with superior clearness ofvi-
sion for the "main chance" they do them
seves gross injustice. They are by no means
SO mad or SO blind as they would have us be-
lieve; of this fact nobody, probably is more
thoroughly aware than the Senator from IL

Gen. Cass, the veteran Secretary of State,
has rendered himself cmnentlv worthy Of the
sobriquct Of "thc political Craw-Fish.' But
his movements are by no means graceful, and
are cntirely toodiscoveraule. Some few weeks
ago, he asserted in explicit terms that the ma
turalization of foreigner by this Goverrmrt
did not exempt him from the claim Of mill
tary service on the part of his native govern
ment should lie voluntarily place himself
within its jurisdiction, no matter what the
circumstances of his naturalization we're
Very soon. however, he discoveed that he
could not travel in that direction without
encountcring a great many impediments to
his future aspirations, and the hopes Of lis
party, and Immediately he commences craw-
fishing in the hope Of finding backward mo-
ton free from all obstruction. and promising
to himself and his party. Now, we find him
our Minister at Berlin to demand
the release of native Of Hanover, a natural
lied citizen of the United States, who, upon
his voluntary return to his native country,
has been pressed into military service by the
government. This, we think, is
clear backing out from his
first position on the subject of the rights Of
citizens-just as certainly contra
lictory rs if a man should sulemnly affirm
that the Moon is a black object, and then
swear it is white. The Secretary's indecis-
on Of character shows that he is neither the
man for the times, nor the distinguished place
ne now occupies.

North German Prosperity.

An interesting illustration of the success OF
the industrial policy of the North German
States appeared in the Berlin core pnndence
ofa New York pal Or. Very soon after the dew
estation of the wars Of 1912, Prussia, which
hal suffered as much or more than any other
part Of Europe, entered upon o vigorous
course Of encouragement to domestic industry.
History has not yet clearly told lis 10 whom
the honor of initiating this system is due. and
tho writer above referred to credits the Prus-
sian minister Stein first, and after him his
Successor, Hartenburg. We would he glad
to know accurately who it was, and to heap
one stone on the pile reared in his homer. The
leadership was taken by Prussia, however
and for nearly ten years from 1915 that State
stood alone in maintenance Of n protective
policy. In 1926 eleven Saxon and other duch-
les formed n tariff union, called Der lfiHlc
Kersin; and in 1927 and 1928 Bavaria and
Wurtemherg joined this union. Prussia then
invited all these small States tn join in its
own system, which was more highly protcc-
tive than their OWN association, but jealousy
of Prussian Influence prevented the cousum-
nation of the plan until March, 1888, at
which time the Zoll- Herein or general union
of customs was formed. Nearly all the re-
manning small States joined before 1S45, and
now Bremen, Hamburg, Lubec and Mecklen-
burg are the only exceptions in the north Of
Germany. The revenues are divided in Ger
tain defined proportions among tire several
States, Prussia receiving over fifty per cent.
of the whole.
But our great interest is in the result ofths
system in recent years. 1t is now, more than
ever astonslingly prolific in benefits to all
public and private interests. The increase of
revenues is the eliminating point Of interest,
and for the edfication ct those who think an
increase of protective duties the sure way to
exhaust the country and reduce the revenues
we give the statistics for the Zollvcren during
the last five years.
