THE SOUTHERN PLANTER AND
THE TARIFF.

The Charleston Neu@ and Courier, sum
marizing the admirable paper Of Mr.. Phil
pott, Of Wisconsin, in Horper's Magazine,
on the effect OF the tariff on the Southern
cotton planter, says ~ There is no duty
on cotton. (2) Two-thirds OF the cotton
crop il sold abroad and transported in
foreign ships (3) The bulk Of the one
third OF the crop that is sold in America is
sold far away from the fields where il is
grown. (4) The American market has not
been increased by protection, and, while
in 1860 we exported more value Of manu-
featured cottons than Of hog products, we
exported last year four times US many dol
lars worth OF hog products as Of cotton
goods. This is the record. And whichever
way you take II, what good can the tariff
bring TO him who grows cotton? II is all
out OF pocket 80 far as he is concerned.
Whether he be black sheep or white
sheep, he is left out OF the fold by the
scli-appointed shepherds Of the flock, who
argue that their assumed inability TO
make living justiics them in taxing
those who can work for their support
But the people do not agree with them,
ami, since the clear exposition OF the tariiI
question by Mr.. Mills, are asking the
question, why should 100000 Of indus
trious and Woodworking Americans he
taxed TO increase tho colossal fortunes
enjoyed by the S27, 1874 projected persons
who own the manufactures and mines
which would be silent and closed were II
not for some OF these same laborcrs. The
cotton planter Of the South, like the grain
farmer Of the West and Northwest, pays
heavily To maintain the tariff in the
greatly enhanced price Of his farming
tools, the furniture Of his home, the fences
Of his farm, and much OF the clothing he
wears. The s27, 1874 monopolists and
members al trusts and combines may

IA WKINS BRITISH COLD.

In answer to the absurd and long ex-
ploded idea OF British gold and British in
tercsts influencing the Democrats of this
country in their campaigns for and advo-
cacy OF free trade, as asserted by Brother
sam Hawkins on Wednesday night, we
quote from The Ncw rork Standard, that
certainly "Grcat Britain, Europe, all the
civilized world with which we trade, have
an interest in the election OF Mr.. Cleve-
land and in the breaking down OF that
policy which restricts our trade and makes
us poorer. II We throw down the Chinese
wall which protection has built up around
our coasts they will share in our increased
prosperity, and they will gain still
more by our example. We shall be
better customers Of theirs and they
will get in return more OF our pro-
ducts And the spectacle of great ma.
ton throwing open It's ports 10 the com
mcrce of all other nations will tell power
fully in breaking down those industrial
barriers which now divide the whole
world into hostile and jealous States. Z"
Free trade is To the world the ultimate Of
civilization. II will do Tor the nations what
II has done for these United Statcs-make
them free and prosperous.

the value of low tariff to the producer
