Repre- sentative Taylor. Cf Illinois, con
menting on the action of Alabama, Arkar'
sas and Tennessee in holding in abeyafc
appropriations for the Worlds Fair uni
the fate Of the Force bill is decided, rc
marked that "thc Republicans viii not O'
bulldozed by the South; that tbo North Wil
20 ahead and hold the Fair regardless of th'
South"
The three Southern states which have d.
termined that they Will have nothing 10 do
with the Worlds Fair if the Force bill H.
comes CIV did 10 without any III
tention Of attempting to bulldoze The
North. In fact, such an idea never
entered their minds. They simply
said to the Republican Congress that they
intended TO look out for themselves; that d
the North, through its chosen representa-
tiyes and senators in Congress, sees ut to
declare war upon Southern progress ana
Southern civilization, they Will, ON Their
part, protect their own interests, regardless
OF the North. In other words, that n the
North and West choose to make an alliance
against Southern business Interests, the
South will rely upon her own resources, as
she has been doing ever since the war and
permit the North 10 hold her Chicago flr
without Southern assistance or cooper a.
ton.
OF course, the narr0w-mnded proi's-
sional politicians OF the llpar, Evaits, aDd
TAYLOR stripe do not care for any of these
things. All they have any idea of is the adj
yancoment Of their selfish ends, ana thcy
favor the Bayonot bill because they are
counting upon il as the only measure by
which they can keep their party IN power
by force. and themselves i'm position To
fatten upon the spells Of office. They 90
not care a groat if the Chicago Exposition
failsontirely; if the rights Of tine people are
trampled on, or even il the Government lie
self is destroyed, II only they are enabled
TO grow rich aud Fat on ii-gotton gains,
wrung from the hard earnings OF the toiling
masses. Oh course such men do not care
for anything but the promNlon of their
own interests.
But Northern business men viii take
very different view. They know thTt tlcT
success is Identified 20 great extent with
the prosperity OF the whole country, and
they canno aforl 90 declare their moe
pendcnce Of the South or any other section.
The material interests Of an sections they
know and feel make them dependent on each
other. and they will not sympaihize With the
political Adventures who take ihe ground
that the South should be ruined because u
refuses TO countenancs Radicalism and Will
not be accessory TO Radical robbories OF the
people and Radical schemes at revolution
ling Congress and the Republic
The South has no intention OF Oulldo1lng
or boycotting the North; but she certainly /
will be justified in taking no part Ia "a I
Northern exposition 10 which she will be /
asked TO contribute literally and materially, !
while every effort is being made by the see /
tlons chiefly to be benefited by that eXposi-
zion 10 cripple her resources and crush out
her prosperity. II the South is 20 be forced
into self protection and absolute reliance
upon her own resources, she will need all
the money she possesses and all the wealth
she can accumulate for promoting her own
advantage, and cannot afford to expend her
mean for the benefit OF sections who boast
themselves her ayowed enemies.
