the cause of this? In well-to-do fam

Its Conversion to Republication the
Great Problem Now Before Us.
Alabama is destined to soon be
among the doubtful Democratic States.
The reason is that Alabama is being
filled with new blood and new ideas.
1t is the Pennsylvania of the South and
yet up to within few years ago the
people down there tried to make .
living on cotton and corn. Now that
the State is realizing that its bound
less beds of iron ore. its coal fields. ka-
oline and its great deposits Of mineral
have unlimited wealth in them. And
since Alabama realized this and began
to develop its mineral resources it has
greatly increased in wealth and popu-
la.ion. Every year sees new towns
spring up there and every year is
marked with q great tide of immigra-
ton. So many people poured into the
State last year that real-estate specu-
lators seized the opportunity to manu-
facture boom and they ran prices up
until town lots three and four miles
from Birmingham sold for as much as
property brings here in the heart Of
Walnut Hills. OF course that proved
disastrous and the boom collapsed
with a suddenness that was startling.
The outsiders were left high and dry.
but the spectators were far ahead. But
that was only an incident and the
work of the iron furnaces, the big iron
mills and cotton factories has gone on
steadily until millions have been in.
vested in them. These industries are
paying. and Of course they have
brought thousands of skilled workmen
to operate them. And with this in
dustrial development has come the
idea of protection. 1t was once =
stranger in the South. but now it is
the great and overwhelming issue.
The people there fancy that the col
ored question is still uppermost. and
at times they say that they would vote
for free trade rather than submit to
''niggsr rule" But as q matter Of
fact il the issue were between free
trade and protection and Invested of
all other considerations there is no
doubt that the latter would be sue
cessful not only in Alabama. Georgia
and Louisiana. but in Mississippi as
well. One of the things which lies
before the Republican party is to make
the people of the South clearly un-
dersand that it is the party of prOtec-
ton. the party that inaugurated the
policy under which American indus
tries grew mighty. the party that
sustained it and the only party that
promises to do 50 in the future. II
the South once understood this it
would do more to break the solid wall
of Democracy there than any thing
else that could be done. That is the
problem before us.-Cincinnati Times.
