GIVE THE SOUTH ALL THE MONEY II
NEEps-The New York Herald says:

NEEps.-The New York Herald says:
I'VE trus, that the proper desire for economy
cow shown by Congress will not interfere With
the appropriations for the South. We are 10
favor Of giving the South all the money Its
people need. Yet us give money to improve
navigation, open harbors. build public oul!d,
ipss. Let US do what We Gao to stimulate speciai
Southern industries cotton, tobacco, rice ano
sugar Let US, if it is in the power OF Con
gress, make that rich and beautiful iand TO
blossom With new life. 10 dealing with tue
South let Us always remember the naIo COO
ditions of the war-the money We TOOK Wnen
We freed the slaves, when We compelled re-
pudiation of her debts, when We seized cotton,
when we ravaged the Valley of the ohenan,
doab, and marched through Georgia. Aud
while these were all war MISREPRESENTATION We
should do again under che same necsSSlty-iet
us remember what burden 1t was to the COD
ouered. and how it crushed them to the earth
Whenever, then, We can give the Soulhmoncy
in appropriation bills in shaping revenue or
fnarcal legislation, let us do SO. We should
be quite content if tor the next FIVE years three
fourths of the money voted By Congress: were
TO 20 into the Southern States alone. What
ever We do for economy let US give the South
all the money she wants.
