refer to manufacturing England as
an example that this principle OF ma
tfohal economy will insure the great
est success, the fact is apparent that
IN this country the strongest advo-
Gates of protection are found in man
ufacturing districts. Not only are
the great factory centers OF New
England hot beds of protection; but
the south, since her industrial de-
velopment, is changing sentiment on
this question. The leading papers OF
that portion of the union are arraying
themselves in the ranks of the advo-
Gates of the American doctrine. The
Richmond Times, sturdy Democrat
ic Journal, has this to say on the
point:
As Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Mills it is
safe to say that no greater fools have
ever given away great cause when
the opportunity was offered to save
their section. If the south
will follow the lead of it's popular
opinion then the Carlisles and Millses
will be retired and the peoples cause
will be put IN the hands of the North
ern Democrats, who alone can settle
the difficulty.
A leading Democratic paper of
North Carolina, the Statesville Land
mark, frankly avows Its antipathy to
the free- trade doctrine and says:
The methods of dictatorship en-
ployed by the Carlisle Mills dynasty
have remained so long unexposed
and gone so long without their mer-
tied denunciation.
The Wilmington Messenger, anoth-
er of the Bourbon press, follows in
the same vein.
We have long known that MIR. Car
Isle was running the Democratic party

duct 1t is none too early for the

product and creation of that miser-

The Chattanooga Times, leading
Democratic paper of Tennessee, says
frankly:
