When the bill to re. create the grade

in the House, Mr. GiIgore OF Texas

sentative Macdonald of Minnesota, q

task.

A nemocratie proteetIonlst.

Foremost among the prominent
Georgians now in Kansas City is Hon.
Patrick Walsh, vice-president of the
Augusta Chronicle and a member of
the Democratic National Committee.
Mr.. Walsh is one of the most infiuen-
tial political writers in the South. He
is an unswerving Democrat, but
strong Protectionist. He believes in
protecting the workingman. and he be-
lieves in protecting the industries Of the
various states Of the Union. In other
words, Mr.. Walsh is an out and out
Protectionist, and this fact kept him
from going as a delegate to the Ma
tIonal Convention at st. Louis. He is
proud enough to remain at home. for a
principle, and he is bold and honest
enough to advocate that principle in
the face of all opposition. In recent
conversation Mr.. Walsh said;
81 am for protection to develop the
vast and varied resources of the
South. In twenty-five more years the
South, under the Protective system,
will become the richest, as she is the
most favored section Of the Union.
am for policy that will benefit the
South, and especially the farmers.
Diversified industries will appreciate
the value Of our lands, by bringing in
capital and population. / am for
tariff that will build up the South
Slavery is dead, and it's twin sister, free
trade, should be buried in the same
grave. believe in practical policy.
Fifteen years ago Jefferson county,
Ala, returned its property for a few
millions. Last year the taxable pro-
perty OF that county, in which Bir-
mingham is situated, was $40, 900 900,
while the property in the whole state
was go 00O, 600. What stronger
orgy - in the South for
tha fhe South is
the seU...a rnat will be most benefited
by the continuance of the Protective
system.
"The South" continued Mr. Walsh,
sis not getting poorer. Millions of
capital are seeking investment in
almost every Southern state. Witness
the millions that have been invested in
lands mines and manufacturing dur
ing the last year. A reliable authority
states that for the first three months Of
this year $27, 900. 900 have been put in
Southern enterprises. In nine years
the taxable property of Georgia,
according to the last report of Comp
trolIer General Wright, has increased
over $100, 000. 900. For these reasons l
favor the protective policy. The ma
terial development upon which the
South has entered, If fostered by the
National Government, will make her
in the next 10 years the most prosper
GUS section Of the Union. No class Of
our people will be 50 much benefited
by this development as the farmer.
am for the development Of the agri-
cultural, mining and manufacturing
resources Of the whole country, and
especially Of the South.
II would notsgive a cent for Protec-
tion to build up monopolies, but /

to place ourselves on record as being uD-
alterably opposed to sending the paid
attorney of a railroad corporation into the
legislative council under the guise of a rep.
resentative of the sentiments and aspira-
tons Of the people. Mr.. John A. Riner,
as president of the last territorial council,
did not pretend to represent the people in
any matter in which the interests of the

clashed. He is a paid attorney of the

such should represent that corporation in
