The old line wings of Alabama do not
seem to have attended the Birmingham
conference of protectioaists which net
Wednesday. The conference was called by
white republicans several weeks ago, aud
those who called it had two objects in view.
One was 10 organize a white Republican
party in Alabama on the basis Of protec-
ton, and the other was to draw those into
it who had been members of the old Wing
party.
The conference was not success. Those
who were present we're about all re-
publcans, and they included the bulk of
the leading white republicans Of the state.
There was a lack of harmony. There were
a few who protested against excluding
the negroes, and the negroes were present
in force and protested against being ex-
cluded The result was That there were
three seperate meetings. Those who called
the conference had about 800 in their meet
ing. The negroes had about 130 in theirs.
aud the regular republicans had enough to
make respectable showing.
Instead of having a united party in Ala
bama there are now three factions, and in
future it will be extremely difficult to get
them to act in harmony. The negroes con-
stitute 90 per cent of the Voting Strength
of the party, and they will not feel like do
ing much voting for the Republican party
in the future, because the white section Of
that party has clearly indicated that it is
ashamed Of them.
The white Republican party is not likely
to receive much help from those who were
once old line wings, because, although some
of them may favor high protective tariff,
they do not favor the Republican party.
In the future, in Alabama at least, the
attachment of the negroes to the Republi-
can party will steadily grow weaker. They
may not vote with the democrats in any
considerable numbers. They will content
themselves with remaining away from the
polls, except in cases in which it is made to
their interest to vote.
The idea entertained by some republican
leaders that there is a strong protective
sentiment in the south is a mistaken one.
There are protectionists in Birmingham
and other manufacturing towns, but the
great mass of the people-uine-tenths of
them-beieve that the best interests of the
country require low tariff.
1t ought not to take farmer ten minutes
to decide whether or not a high tariff is
beneficial to him. 1t would be difficult
for him to point out any of its benefits so
far as he is concerned. He cannot help
seeing that it takes money out of his pocket
without bringing him any advantages.
The farmers, merchants and professional
men of the south all believe in the demo-
cratic tariff doctrine, and those who are
managing the Birmingham conference will
find that out if they do not already
know it.

The Americus Recorder thinks that last
years jute bagging trust was blessing in
disguise. Perhaps it was. 1t extorted
millions of dollars from the farmers, but if
it should be the cause of the establishing in
the south of numerous bagging factories,
which would find their raw material in the
south, there would be no reason to regret
that the jute bagging trust was created.
