e The south SIN Ag.in.t Protection.

Encouraged by the demand Of the
sugar growers of Louisiana for either
protective duty or a bounty on their
product, the high tariff organs have
been claiming that the southern states
were becoming converted TO protcc-
ZIONIST notions. There is absolutely
no ground for the claim. Here and
there few men NAV be found who are
willing to sacrifice their principles and
the good of the whole country u their
selfish interests. But the great mass
Of the people of the south are still firm
free traders. knowing as they well do
that they have everything to lose and
nothing to gain under high tariff.
The main industries OF the south need
no protection and the few cxotics
which cannot exist without public
support, ought to be allowed To die.
Hatred Of patcrnalism in all its forms
Is too deep rooted in the south 20 all
low change at this enlightened day.
and there need be no fear that the
southern people will ever be found
voting for Mckinleyism and all its
evils

In spite of the fact that this country
exports large quantities Of bitnminous
coal the democratic proposition to put
coal on the free list. so as to give New
England industries the advantage Of
getting their coal from nearby mines
of Nova Scotia has been vigorously on
posed by the protectioni>,s- II was
claimed that without the duty of -
cents per ton the coal industry Of this
country would be ruined by foreign
competition. and that TO remove or re-
duce the tariff would close mines and
reduce the wages of miners The vii.
son bill. a. finally passed. cut down the
duty on coal nearly 20 per cent Was
the result what the protectionists had
predicted? On the contrary the out
put of coal has been increasing during
the past six months. and the industry
is on a better footing than il has been
for years Under the high tariff wages
OF coal miners were frequently reduced
all over the country during 1891. ls93
and 1898. and numerous mines were
shut down. throwing the employees out
of work Now under a tariff which
has stimulated manufacturing the in
creased demand for coal in the iron
and other industries has raised wages
and given more men employment
Thus have the facts contradicted an
other pet theory of the high tariiiites
