Judging from reports the south is
slowly but surely awakening to the
fact that Calhounism is its bane.
The controversy over the Wilson bill
the modern fruitage of the theories
of the South Carolina Nullifer, has
made evident the fact that Protec-
tion sentiment is growing below
Mason and Dixon's line. Southern
business men are indeavoring to get
some Of their leading Senators to
introduce a resolution in the Senate
declaring that owing to the present
business depression there should be
no change in the tariff for at least two
years. Although such q resolution
is not likely to be adopted, it is
hoped that the end aimed at will be
accomplished by the defeat Of the
destructive bill
