TIE LATE DEMOCRATIC Triumph
~ III N0RTH-WHAT DOES m
The Richmond Dispatch asks this question
aud answers it most satisfactorily. It says, an
our humble judgmest it means this, and nothing
more: The Democrats have a vast deal mors
sense than the Republicans, and cannot fsil
to see how completely the latter hava succeed-
ed in destroying the prosperity Of the North.
They always opposed the suicidal folly of thai
hction-their continual sggvsssioHs upon the
South. and their Systematic efforts to make the
Higgsr the only question in the Congress of the
United States. They opposed this policy be-
es1se they could mot bat foresss sAGt ii would
lead 10 The ~destrusisn 81 the Union, and all the
material interests which, 90 far a. the North was
concerned, they 6t 10 be bound up in It
The Republicans afford, indeed, the most aston
ishing example of men guarding with their own
bread and butter, which We r~ecollscs ever to have
heard Of They had in the South the most mag
nifcent market for their manufactures to be
found in the whole WSFld Il gas untsKsd and IN.
restrained. They paid no duties, and were the only
people in the world that paid none. Composition
was not allowed to come near them. Heavy
tsrifJ shut it out from abroad, and our own peo-
pie were engaged in other pursuits. The coast
ing trade-the heaviest in the World-was all
done By their ships. The Southern cotton and
tobacco, the great staples Of the world, al passed
through their hands, on their wsy to q foreign
market. The very negroes, for whose sake they
were constantly threatening the South, were a
source of far more profit TO them than they have
ever been to their masters. The cotton and TO-
baceO of the South were. indeed, the grand L.
vsrs that set sl Eorthem trade in motion. With
cut them New York would never have risen
musA above TIE figure that represented her pop
ulAtion in 1910, and New England would have
been, where she ought to be now, at the tail Of
the Union. The Democrats could see al this,
but tke Republicans csuld not, and they per
sisted until they destroyed the Union.
The Democrats wish to restore that Union,
because while it existed it was a source of IN
allowed prosperity. They ses plainly enough
that if the North be compelled to pay The same
with England, England viii s~upplant
the manufactures of the North. They see that
if direct trade between our ports and England
be orce firmly established. New York will cease
to be the money centre of America. They see
that if the e~ossting trade be thrown open to
competition, England viii dc the larger share of
t. Ia = word, they clearly understand that the
of the monopoly they have been so
ong enjoying viii be a death blow to all North
srn interests, for they know well enough the
differences between framing tariffs 10 shut eut
al other people and having tariffs framed to shu
!, 1t themselves. When i. is too late, the Republi-
.sns see this, too and seeing also the hopeless
of restoring sho Union, they are Wsging a
iavage war for the purpose of rendering a desert
boss portions Of it which they can no longer
.ontroL The Democrats, however, Taxa a differ
mt view Of the subject. They believe ~restora
ion is still possible. In this respect they do
lot manifest their usual sagaciiy. They have
be incredible folly to believe that there still
mks among the body of that people who have
against he Uuien a. meA never fought
before, 8 secret ~sttachzsnt to the old flag, "
which is the most dstested Of all earthly symbols
the whole body ef the Southern people. They
10 not reflect that while, to them, the condition
which it is intended {. represent has been pro-
iuctive Of unalloyed blessings, It is associated
n the Southern mind with images of CONNER
.ial poverty and sectional oppression. To this
imagined feeling Of latent loyalty Il the old
Union, they are willing to sFpssl. They have
40 doubt that they will be successful. Bat first

They must make Us knew their strength. They
must teach Us that they are our masters. They

rand object be attained. If the southern people
sill not agree TO all this, as most assuredly they
will, then they are for carrying en- the war

It may be that a Democratic Congress might
ropose to the sohthefn States, as = condition
f re-entering the Uaion, to lsagaliz, slavery
verywheie, and this before proceeding farther
Nth The war. But even were the Soath dis
osed under any circumstances to rs-enter such
state Of bondage, it must be born in mind that
be present Abolition Congress has still one year
D run. Ia that time some Of the most desper-
te battles the world ever heard Of will have
cen fought, sud the Yankees will already have
anquered Us or been expelled from orr terri
