THE sOUTTI,s DEMOCRACY.
lHnrrIeOn's Insulting scheme

RKnrrIsOn's Insulting scheme
for DebaucIllng Public Opin.
The Presidents anxious desire is
it appears, to build up white Re
publican party in the South. lie
understands that any party depend
ing almost exclusively on the
negroes for support can never sue
coed in that section. In this con-
clusion he is undoubtedly right.
About tIlree-ffths of the Southern
people are white, and the white
man at the North who believes a
large white majority on the other
side of Mason and Dixon's line
can be permanently subjected to a
negro minority is a hopeless idiot.
But Mr.. Harrison is not well in
formed if he supposes that the Dem
ocratic majority in the Southern
States may be broken up by the dis
pensation of patronage. That meth
cd was assiduously tried through
out the administration of Grant,
Hayes and Garfield and Arthur.
There are sordid wretches, no
doubt, in Southern as we'll as North
ern communities, who will sell their
opinions for a mess of pottage or a
petty Office, but the sale can not be
concealed, and the mercenaries take
no following with them.
The truth is that while the divis-
ion of parties at the North is now
almost wholly on the tariff line,
the Republication of the South
represents spoliation by protection
and negro domination. tits impos-
sible that either of these can com
mand extended support among the
intelligent and self-respecting far
mers of the Southern agricultural
States, just as it is impossible that
shrewd Northern farmers can APP
prove a tariff system that substan-
TALLY doubles the price ofevery man
ufactured article they consume.
The Presidents scheme for de-
bauching public opinion at the South
with paltry official brides is an in
suit to the intelligence of the people.
When he has something better
than tariff rapacity, monopolistic
greed and negro domination to offer
as party programme he may be
able to win recruits Until then.
he can not reasonably expect that
the success achieved last year by
stupcndous corruption will be re-
peated. The great Democratic
State of New York will not again
be sold to the tariffftes by handful
Of base hirelings in two of the
counties nearest to its commercial
center.

This is sacriIege.

The reason the Republican jour
mails are afraid to say anything on
the tariff question is they do not
know what the future position Of
their party will be on that question,
and it is generally expected they
will advocate a reduction of the
tariff. Well a fellow would feel
kind of funny to be advocating a
high tariff and have his party sud-
denly turn round and leave him
hanging high up in a, tree.
