AID wears clothes made ofimported
goods is the only one who suffers
be cause of protective tariff. But
let us grant to the Republi-
can that twenty-five years
of protective tariff have been
very profitable to the indus
trial states, filling their banks
to overfowing with gold and silver,
is it not fact that protective
tariff under similar conditions,
would be Just as beneficial to the
South and West? Only within
very recent years has there been
any attempt at manufacturing in
the West and South. But the very
school boy, who reads at all, Is now
apprised of the wonderful strides
these sections are making in
the interests of manufactures.
They are not only increasing their
productions as agricultural
districts but are also de-
veloping every facility for
working up the raw material.
And, if this protective care is con-
tinued, the day is not far distant
when the bulk of the western wool
will be spun and woven in the
states that produce it; the greater
part of the ore taken from our rich
iron mines will be forged and
hammered and rolled by western
men in western shops and foun-
dries. SO it will be with the South.
Every pound of cotton and iron
produced in that section will be
wrought into articles of commerce
in factories and foundries south of
Mason and Dixon's line.
Granting all to be true that the
Republican has stated, is the day
far distant, if this protection is
continued, when the untold wealth
now in the vaults of the Savings
Banks of the east, will return to
enrich the Golfers of the West.
Are Western and Southern men
SO prejudiced that they will
rellnquish that for which thew
have so long waited and is now
within their very grasp? We think
not, but will vote and work for
home protection, thus bringing a
market into their midst and build
ing up a competition that will give
them manufactured articles at a
minimum cost of production.

Protective Tariff for the South and
West.

For several weeks the st. Louis
Republican has been publishing
articles, showing the vast benefits
of the protective tariff to the New
England and other manufacturing
states of the east and has tried to
point odt to the farmers that this
benefit has been at their expense
1t has taken great pains to look up
the deposits in the Savings Banks
of these states and finds that thev
are enormous. From all the data
obtainable by thorough investi-
cation, the Republican concludes
that the protective tariff has been
productive of great wealth to the
manufacturing states.
The lesser Democratic organs of
the state have copied the Repub-
lican's wisdom as sound Democra-
tic theology and have given it to
their readers without thought as
to whether they were talking fol
the benefit of the western farmer
or the opposite. But the farmer
thinks, and he has made up his
mind, and correctly, too, that the
man who feels himself above wear
ing American goods is the only
one who pays the revenue. The
