LOW DUTIES HELP THE SOUTH.
No" the senator replied; II think the
tendency is more likely to be the other way,
especially in the mining and manufacturing
districts. The interests of the states of
Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama particu-
larly are advanced by low duties They
can produce iron and coal much cheaper
than they can be produced in the
east. Protection only assists the
eastern manufacturers to keep up
this rivalry. Without protection
the rivalry would be greatly lessened. The
less protection the more capital will 20 to the
development of the Industries of the south
Seeing this, [ do not think our people will
be led off by this question. The efforts of

He thought that inconvenience, but no

Recognizing the fact that jute bagging, which

planters as a covering for their products, was

raised In price nearly 100 per cent by the man

cotton producer throughout the land absolute
diScontinuance OF Jute bagging whenever the
substitute can be obtained. Your committee
goes further and proclams that this recon-
mendation, whether viewed as a retaliatory
measure or simply as one Of self-protection Is
equally justhable, and that they recommend
like action. or non-use when possible, of every
article which has been placed or shall here
after be placed, under the trust for the purpose
Of excluding competition and thus enabling the
projectors to fix their own price on same.
