1t is exceedingly gratifying to know
that, dispite their most determined
opposition and their thcatri cal dis.
play of alarm, the Southern people
have been im~measurably blessed by
the practical operation of our prOtec.
tive policy. The South was the orig.
inal home of the protective theory
| but when under its stimulating and
fostering influences the East sprung
into pre-eminence as a manufacturing
section and center the South began
to repudiate a policy that was doing
more for others than for themselves
| The east had umerou interests and
industries, backed by the intelligence
and industry of its people, that only
required the quickening touch of pro-
lection tor rapid and marvellous de-
velopment, while the South at that
time depended principally upon it,
cotton industry, backed only by in
dulgent mother earth and the hideous
institution of slavery.
The times have changed, and the
conditions are new. The vast and
varied resources of the South, so long
neglected and abused, arc being made
the foundation for a new civilization
under the conserving and transform
ing influence of the protective policy
vigorously enforced by the successive
Republican administrations since the
war.
AS an indication of the new spirit
of thrift, energy and intelligent EN-
terprise which this Republican in
dustrial system has refused into their
previous lethargy, the last issue of
the Manufacturers Record of Balti-
more has a list of a number of the
more important industries recently
started in the South. These new and
promising Southern industries, en-
couraged by inexhaustible natural re-
sources, and quickened into life by
the protective policy as administered
by the Republican party, have led
many Refrigerated sections, notably
in southwestern Virginia, in eastern
Tennessee, in northeastern Alabama.
and in manufacturing centers Of
Georgia and North Carolina, to open
Iy adopt and advocate the doctrine of
protection.
The time is rapidly approaching
when the Southern people will de-
fend and demand the protective sys-
TEN, as the essential condition Of in
dustrial prosperity, with as great
and force as have characterized
its defense and advocacy by the more
.enterprising people of the East and
Under protection the South
destined to reveal social forces
hitherto supposed TO be impossible
qualities in the Southern character.

prosperous and progressive civiliza-
ion that shall enable her to rival the

Worse Than Fits.

! Policy in the hands of a diplomat is
like a sharp sword in the grasp of an
able fenccr, but policy In the hands of
fools is Like a good knife welded by a
half-wit. It takes brains, writes Am
Der in the Chicago Herald, to be truly
polite; the unfortunate person who at
tempts to be cautious, and wise, and
reticent and to let policy thread every
action as a string runs through glass
beads, only succeeds in making himself
ridiculous To be afraid to speak what
is in your mind for fear you will make
yourself unpopular, to be too cautious
to mention the fact that you arc having
a new latch put on your front gate for
fear that you might be over-communi-
~cative, to be backward in taking sides
for fear of committing yourself to a
sosing cause. may be polite to your own
feeble intelligence, but in the estima-
aion Of brainy folks 1t is o species Of fe-
line idiocy worse than fits.

Competition and Socialism.

This country has been founded upon
the principle of free competition. The
working people, as a class, were never
In a more prosperous condition than
now. There never was n time, in the
opinion of the Boston Journal when
thrift was 50 sure of its reward. There
new was n country in which enter
prize was more certain to reap its
profits. Competition is not essentially
selfish. The gain of ne does not mean
the injury Of another. Trade advan-
tages are reciprocal, and it makes no
difference whether the object in sale is
land or labor. The origin Of much OF
the present restlcssness Is in the fact
that the mass allow the few to set the
pace for them. The workingmen
easu the comforts by the standards
Of the nouveau richie. But the turning
over Of the industries TO the state would
not assure them such luxuries as they
apparently long for. while it would be
sure to bring in its train . long series
Of evils. Not the least Of these would
be the destruction of the principle of
personal enterprise. This has been the
tap-root Of our national progress.

Reunited.

Twenty-one years ago doc" HON.
berg, then a resident of this city, left
home to seek his fortune and has since
wandered about from place to place
throughout the country. Some years
ago he settled in Terre Haute, Ind,
and is now considered a "residenter'
there. Some days ago he surprised
all ofhis old friends and acquaintance
by suddenly dropping into town and
hunting them up. He did not reckon
upon the surprise that awaited him
While calling with an old schoolmate
he was brought to the residence of 6
sister who, when he last heard from
her, lived in Cleveland, O. His friend
knew of the relationship that existed
between the two, but said nothing
when he saw that they did moi rccog
nize each other.
They were introduced as old school
mates and began to banter each Other
for their names. To end the suspense
Homberg finally revealed his idenity
| OF course he was totally unprepareL
for the happening that followed. his
long-lost sister throwing herself into
his arms and breaking into a flood OF
tears. When he learned her identity
Homberg, as might naturally be sup
posed, was overcome himself and
broke down with emotion. The scene
that followed the reunion was joyfu'
in the extreme, and the long-seperated
brother and sister spent the rest o,
the day in each others company re
calling the happy days past.
1t was his intention to remain but
a day or two, but he has postponed
his departure for a time, intending tc
spend a long period with his sister
and other relatives whom he has moi
seen for a score of years.-Cincinnut.
