OF industry III the rice producing States
which are aided by protective duties.
while the people Of those States paid
taxes on almost all for the benefit of the
industries of other States There we've
peculiar reasons for aiding Southern in
dustry at the present time. The land
owners had nothing else left after the
war. The freedmen were the onIv class
who had gained material wealth. The
land owners had to borrow money. at
enormous rates, to curry on planting
operations. The South, therefore. asked
the same protection for its labor that had
been 80 freely extended elsewhere. They
asked for tbs retention Of the duty S{i rice.

and expensive process required for the
production Of rice during the rebellion.
The rice fields were generally abandoned.
being near tue theatre of war. This
neglect OF four years almost threw tie
lands back into the vnlueless svurnps
from which the labors OF generations
had reclaimed them. Without the dutv.
1t would have been impossible to restore
the rice fields to cultivation after the
war. Continue the duty for few yenrs.
and the old rice lands would again bs
brought into cultivation, and new ti.l,ls
added. and the planters could then
prosper without it. There were prohu.
by 10000 families in Georgia aud South
Carolina depending upon rice culture
for support. Almost the entire ben.tit
from the proposed reduction would ac.
crue to the benefit of few Importers
and dealers in foreign rice.
