the South wants is TO be independent
and scll-sustaining. That is what
anybody and any community wants.

us all begin economy ut home and do
without the luxuries that our own
section can't furnish. Mrs. Arp says
she will wait for carpet until l can
get her one ut homc-wantS an AK
minister, recon. She knows how TO
do without luxlrics. If she can get
them she wants them, but If she
can't she don't. She tried doing
without during the wal when we had
to live on rye coffee and sassafras tea
and Smokehousc salt and lyc soap,
and sorghum and cornbrcad, and the
children wore shoes made OF half
tanned leather, and their clothes and
hats were mad" of scraps. "Oh, yes,

and give employment 10 thousands uf
our young men. In Il few years there
would be thousands of .5,Iuii indus
tries. We would manufacture every
thing from Il hairpin to a locomotive,
and keep our money at home.
Friends, cOuntrymen, patriots, let
us do that. Let Us form Il league
that will do something sure enough
and do it for all classes. Let the
North keep ali that she has got and
run the government and shinny on
her own side and we'll shinny on ours
and quit plying with them until they
get friendly. We arc tird- tired "A

l wouldn't trust IL Democrat ten
steps who would stay in partner
ship with Il bloody-shilt Republicans
The New York Herald makes big
blow about New York going fifty
thousand Republican majority if the
South boycotts her trade. Suppose
she does! Suppose they give hun
drcd thousand. what is that to us?
What is she doing for us now! Ever
since the war the South has given her
solid vote t, help tie Northern De
mocracy. and what mas that Dcmoc-
racy done for us? What is it dong
for us now! Amos Cummings is the
only man who depends upon plinci-
pie. If il man is friend, why don t
he show it! Why don't the Northern
Democrats hold public meetings and
dcnolmcc all this unholy war upon us!
Why don't they quit the church that
allows its preachers to abuse us and
tell lies upon us! Why don't they
do something or move out of that
country? You can't take up a North
ern magazine that hasn't got some
malicious scandalous piece in its
columns. The very last Century" is
still harping on Andcrsonvillc, and
has communication from Il con
temptible cuss about our using blood
hounds to catch runaway negroes be

what good can come Of such q discus

would admit such things! 1t is all
for hat and venom, and the mystery
Of il all is, what makes them keep on
hating us 1t is said that Mrs. Can
fields husband was drcadfuily mort

cause her feelings got into thcpapcrs.
Why don't mc educate her TO feel
some other way The truth is, he
believed that way himself or hc
wouldn't have married such g vicious,
malicious woman. II he was really
friendly TO the white people Of the
South. he should have made her stop
talking that way or quit her.
What is Tic use of tcmporizlng
