ing to the toast of "The Two Souths,"

paign, said: eff the results of that cam
paign, as they indicate the public iudg-

thing, the Republican party is under a
mandate from the people to cut up the
internal revenue system by the roots and
secure the permanency of the
American policy of protection. That
the political South proposes to
destroy the protective system no
man OF candor and intelligence will

country. If the cause of protection fails |
in this country it will fail at the hands |
of the Solid South"
