National Republican., 1888-04-01
Protection in the South.

What the Republican doctrine of prut"a-
tion has done for tie south Is best shown hy
the following figures. comparing soma Of
lis productions IN 1870 and lSS1: From three
million bales Of cotton in 1870 the south la,
advanced 10 nearly seven millions in lSSi--
the production being more than doubled. 1t
has increased its corn crop from 2iJ J0lJ,ODJ
bushels in 1870 To 49,, 100000 bushels in
1857, gain of over o. per cent. In Ihc rc,t
Of the country the gain was only s. per
cent. The sOuth's increase in wheat was
~ per cent. in oats lj5 per cent. The in
crease in the value OF 1--we stock in the south
in 1857. ,l> compared with 1870, amounts to
>lS2,2s3,!J6. The total increase in the
value ul southern agricultural products, In
cluding fruits aud vegetables, was more
than two hundred millions in lsS;, rs com
pared with $50.
The free trade doctnnaircs assert that
protection ruins the farmers. Does this
look like ruin? And yet this is but Il small
part Of the increased wealth and prosperity
of the south. mainly resulting from the
policy Of protection which furnished It
home market.
Cotton and wOolcn factories ave being
erected everywhere. Coal aud iron mines
are being opened in scores of places.
Foundrcs and furnaces are counted by hun
drcds, and this work has Just begun. Yet
the free traders. under the shelter of low
tariff, would destroy it, close mine, furnace,
aud factory, and leave unemployed the
lanorns thousands now prolitaby engaged
in these works.
