Mobile and Birmingham Railroad, and
also OF the Clifton Iron Company, pro-
tested against the injustice of placing
iron ore or coal on the free list.
''In the case of free ore, where would
you be distressed by it, and where would
it come in competition with you?" asked
a member of the committee.
1--WE would be cut out of any sale of
iron in the Eastern cities. The effect
would be TO restrict our market to the
South. In the East we would have TO
meet the low competition of Cuban and
Spanish ore. If this committee. as re-
ported" continued Bush, lis to put lum-
ber, rice and sugar, coal and iron ore on
the free list then the South might as well
give up. 1t will be the death blow to
Southern prosperity. We are Democrats
from principle, and do not expect to suf-
fer in the house of our friends. Ii we do,
the natural question to ask is, how long
will we continue to kiss the hand that
snIites u.s."
1t is said that Senator White of Louisia-
ana will oppose vigorously the tax on
sugar and the abolition Of the sugar
bounty. He asserts that the tariff policy
which is being formulated will disrupt
the Democratic party.
