THE SOUTH AND nrse1EcIloN.
Mobile Register.
There was time when the great mass of
fine Southern people were free traders; or
rather when they said they were, for they
left such matters to the politicians and ac-
cepted whatever ideas they promulgated.
Their fathers had been free traders; they
had heard protective tariff denounced as
robbery ever since they could remember any
thing; and therefore they were free traders.
During the past ten years, and especially
during the past i've years, however, as man
ufactures have increased in the South, and
as the development of its wonderful re-
sources has proceeded, a number of our peo-
pie have changed their views on this subject.
They have Investigated the matter, and have
seen no reason for doing away with system
which has enriched the North for years just
when it is beginning to enrich the South.
LONG LIFE TO HANNIBAL HAMLIN.
Somerset Reporter.
Hon Hannibal Hamlin is conspicuous
example of model retired public official.
He has received the highest honors the State
can confer and the second office in the gift
of the Nation. 1t is one of the greatest OF
treats to listen to his graphic accounts of
incidents that occurred within his experience
and observation in the State. and National
arena during nearly fifty of the most event
full years of our National existence. Mr..
Hanilin always has attentive listeners,
whether in public or in private, always has
something to say worth hearing and knows
just how to say it. Physically he carries his
rs years with remarkable freedom from APP
pearances of age and his mental machinery
runs as smoothly and as lively as it did a
quarter of: century ago. while his heart is
as young as it ever was, and his interest in
affairs as keen as fifty years ago. Long live
Hannibal Hamlin is the benediction of hun
dreds of thousands of Maine people.
