Those who are inclined to lay stress
upon condolences viii be interested
that President Harrison's name be-
gins with the eighth letter in the al
pbabet and contains just eight letters,
and the same number in his Christian
name; that ne was nominated on the
eighth ballot and was elected in the
year 1888 with the prospect, if he full
fills the expectations OF those who
elected him, of spending eight years
IN the White House. Evidently there
was ssluck" for the President-elect in
the number 8.--BGEt0. american.

cloths, that can be manufactured sue
cessfully without the protection grow
ing out oftariff taxation, in the main
it is not so, and it is onlya question
with us whether we shall continue a
high tariff, as it is termed, and con-
tinue to build up under it until the
Southern manufacturers have large
investments in their establishments,
skilled labor and are prepared to COM
pete with New England and with old
England, and have built up home
markets for our planters. The in
FAINT industries Of this country, SO far
as the manufacturers are concerned,
are to be found mainly in the South,
and that section of this Union is
more interested to day in maintain
ing the doctrine of reasonable incl
dental Protection, both in theory
and in practice, than any other Sec
ton of this Union.
Strike down the factories of vari-
Gus characters and those now engage
ed in operating them must seek other
employment, and, as nothing else
would offer, they will be obliged to
return to the cultivation Of the
soil. Take half million of people
out of the factories and out of the
different mines and other branches
of industry and put them in the cot
ton and corn-felds and you will pro-
duce larger supply of these commo-
dies than is needed for home con-
sumption and a larger supply than
can find ready market abroad.
On the other hand, if you can in
duce half million more of the pop
ulation of the South to leave the ag-
ricultural fields and go into manu-
factury, to that extent you lessen
the amount OF agricultural produc-
ton, and to that extent increase the
price paid the farmers for the small
er quantity which will be produced
and put upon the market.
THE SOUTH MUST FOLLOW NEW ENG
LANDS EXAMPLE.

made immense sums of money and
grown very rich by the benefits OF
Protection in manufacturing. If New

tries, and the South, as will be adj
mittcd, has more genial climate,
more water power and more coal for
steam purposes, with immensely
greater natural resources than New
England, why should not the South
initiate the example of New England
and move forward energetically and
grandly on the same line until she
has accumulated much greater wealth
than New England has been able to
amass up to to this period. Instead
of sitting down and complaining that
our neighbors are growing rich let
us adopt the same line of policy
that has made them rich and press
forward until we have built up our
own section in wealth and power as
one of the most favored in the Unit
ed States.
/ think | may safely say that no
section of the Union is making as
rapid strides in development and in
the establishment offactories of all
characters as the Southern States.
No states are likely to be as much
benefited by Protection as the South
ern States.
