Every man who gives the matter NOM
ent's thought knows that the boycott pan
could not be carried out and that If II could
be the south would be injured fully a. much
as the North, if not more. Those who thihk
otherwise have very little understanding OF
the dependence of the two sections upon
each other. 1t is true that the south Is a
customer Of the North, but II must not De
forgotten that our irult growers uuVh
farmers, cotton planters. mine owners ana
even manufactures, find great market IN
the North, and if the business relations OF
the two sections should be interrupted the
south would not be in position altogether
comfortable and desirable.
However there is not the remotest posi-
biItv of the boycott plan being adopted,
and, therefore, there is no occasion for DIS
cussing it. There is, however, something
which the business men of the south can
do TO prevent the passage Of the Force bill.
They can individually and through their
commercial organizations show the bust
ness men Of the North that the passage oi
the bill would be hurtful to their interests
as well as 10 the interests of the busl-
ness men Of the South, and in that way
create a sentiment in the North against
the bill that would command the respect
and influence the action Of the Republican
senators.
4 number of the cities in the south have
already adopted this plan and commercial
organizations i'm the south are daily follow
ing the example, and the probabilities are
that 50 strong a sentiment will be created
i'm the North against the bill that the Senate
will NOT even consider it,
