Northern Democrats to their Southern
Brethren.

The Democrats of the doubtful
Northern States say to their brethren
of the South-we are willing, as we
have always been, to join hands with
you to wrest the federal government
from your deadly enemies-to relieve
you from a system of taxation, which
is crushing the life out of your Infant"
industries protect you from the
horrors of the Infamous Force bill and
kindred malignant legislation, which
will surely be enacted if our and your
enemy is successful next fall. In a
word we wish to help you to home rule,
and the management of your own af
fairs in your own way, free from out
side and hostile interference This be-
ing our disposition, will you insist up
on an economic issue, upon which
Democrats everywhere are divided,
and which, if it is made party test,
will surely defeat us in our States and
turn the national government over to
the Republicans Is it fair, is it just,
that when we are fighting your battles
to the best of our ability, you, our
friends, should step in and handicap
us in such a manner as to make it I'M
possible for US to win ?
1t does seem to us that when South
ern Democrats reflect upon such ap-
peals as these they will wonder that
they ever thought of allowing a pure
ly economic measure to come between
them and those who have SO often
stood by them in times of need.
Take note, our Northern friends
demand nothing from us in spirit of
insolence. They simply inform us in
all kindness that if we insist upon this
issue, we will deprive them of all power
to help us in the future ChdrlotteS-
CilIe Chronicle.
