THE TARIFF WITHOUT CHARMS FOR
SOUTHERN MANUFACTURERS Now
that the Southern manufacturer finds
himself able to hold his own in the home
market against the competition of the
New Highlander as well as the foreigner,
he loses interest in the doctrine of pro-
lection. Having cheap material and
cheap labor, he could produce his wares
at a profit were the whole tariff swept
away. AS long as the mark ct for coarse
eottons and pig iron is not glutted he
makes big profit; and when the over
production of the Northern manufac.
turers causes prices to drop and the
mills OF that section to close, he will
still sell at a handsome profit. This
state Of things, may continue until The
Southern mills become so numerous as
to overstock the United States 81 h their
products that is TO say, Uni' be East
ern manufacturer OF wares similar to
those produced in the South is driven
to the wall. Then from the South as
we'll as the North the cry for a larger
market is likely to prevail, and, freed
from the demoralizing influences of a
high tariff, our producers will compete
side by side in oil the narts Of the
world. Till then the Southern manu-
facturer can afford to be amused at the
workings of tariff which shuts his
competitors in narrow field to an un-
equal contest twas anticipated in some
quarters that, with the development of
her industries, there would grow up
in the South sentiment favorable TO
the doctrine of protection. liz the early
DAYS of Mr.. Arthur's Administration
this was very confidently counted on as
promising a career for politicians of a
certain order. But it has not happened
to the extent anticipated. Capital in
the South was mainly in the hands of
an educated class whose minds were
clear of the fallacies of protection, and
who saw the superior advantages of
their country fer cheap production
The growth of manufactures did not,
therefore, with them lead to the growth
of economic heresy. Only Senator
Brown and one or two other men of
prominence in the South have been
tainted with it-BdW Sun

TRUE AS PREACHING.-Th Rich :
mond Dispatch, after expressing the
wish "that all the country papers were
better supported" says:-
1.-THE people of the several counties do
not know how much they owe to their
local journals"
This is sad truth. The "local jour-
mails" are of inestimable value to the
people of the towns and Counties in
which they are published, and they are
not appreciated by them as they should
be. The cost to subscribers is d mere
trifie. whilst the benefit is almost meal
culable. What would Stanton and
Augusta be without their local jour-
nals?u
