WAITING FOR THE TIDE.

about the possibilities Of the
South. To one who has an OPP
portunity to make the proper
observations these possibilities
have not been overdrawn.
During the past few months
much has been said in the prints
about the development OF the
South by Northern capital. We
think these probabilities have
been overdrawn. And there IS
danger of losing opportunities
by trusting too much to the sup
posed probabilities of great in
hux of Northern capital to hasten
southern Developments.
There is no questioning the
fact that our Northern brethren
have for a long time seen the
probable possibilities Of the
South. And they have at last
acknowledged that they see a
fine opportunity for the develop
ment of Our great resources, but
they have given no guarantee
that they arc coming amongst us
and develop these resources and
let us stand idly by and see it
done and reap our share of the
benefits. This the North will
not do, and the sooner the South
finds itout the better for us.
1t is indeed very pleasing to
read in the papers that certain
business clubs and associations in
the North have given expression
| to their confidence in the possi>
bilities of the South; but there is
danger that we of the South may
count too much on these pretty
dreams of money flowing down
here to build up Our industries
while we stand by and inst show
the capitalists of the North where
to invest their money.
We cannot Oxford to wait for
the tide. If we do we shall cer>
tainly be disappointed. There is
no question about the fact that
the South presents one of the
most inviting fields for push and
enterprise that can be found III
this great country. But the South
must do its own share in effect
| ing these developments and in
demonstrating these possibilities
Or it will not be done. We
must not wait for the tide of i'm
migration to roll i'll upon us il
the hope that it will bring mon
ey and drop it down at our doors
| We 1nust not even wait for any
| legislation, national or local, tc
smooth the way for our enter,
/ prises. but we must seize the op-
portunities which we already
have, and i'll so doing we shall
cause even larger opportunitie:
and possibilities to open before
us.
The fact that the North ha,
seen and acknowledged the pos.
sibi1ities of Our section, should

The present chief mission Of the dem

PROTECTION IN ITALY.
How Protective Duties Make Paupers In
That sunny Land.

The New York Press j. rejoicing be-
cause Italy is extending her protective
system 10 include raw cotton. The
Press says that southern Italy has for
years produced cotton but not in guam
titles sufficient to supply the Italian
cotton factories. With the new duty
of two cents per pound the Press thinks
that Italy can supply her own mills.
and perhaps detain in Italy the class
of immigrants which are deemed least
desirable here
Italy i, perhaps. the most protected
country on the globe. Not only is the
country as a whole well protected from
the labor products of France. England
and America, but her provinces. and
even her cities. are protected from each
other by octroi taxes -su bstantial tariff
duties levied on goods imported into
one province from another. If there
is any virtue in protection" Italy
ought to be filed with happy and
prosperous homes. Instead it contains
a larger percentage of wretch>d. pow
erty-stricken excuses for homes than
any other country as far advanced in
civilization. Farming ceased I pay
many years ago. and large portion
of the tillable districts are now un-
titled. Both farmers and laborers have
been emigrating as fast as they could
obtain funds to pay their passage to
other countries. And now cotton
goods which have formerly been cheap
and have been worn largely by all
Italians who could afford L wear
clothing at all. are "a be made dear to
all in order that a few cotton growers
may receive a protection bounty while
they are experimenting in this line.
More protection of this kind will starve
out and drive out more poor from
Italy.
But suppose that il would make Italy
more independent of the United States
as TO it, cotton supplies; WHY should
the press rejoice owe such a change?

Mr.. Jernigan advances the opinion
that the manufacture Of -otton cloth

the decrease.
Mr.. Jernigan says that he does not
wish 10 intimate that the price OF la
boz in the United States should be
regulated by the price of labor in
oriental countries. but unless some
standard Of international value for the
payment of labor is agreed upon. the
products Of the oriental laborers Will
become a dangerous rival to that

yer, he says. is used by one-half
OF the world. aud gold by the other
half. and while wages in one half are
paid in a deprecated currency. and in
the other half in an appreciated eur
rency. a rivalry between the respec-
tive products of the labor of each is
encouraged with the advantage in the
outset TO the products Of the la
borers paid in deprecated eur.
rency. especially when the latter
can supply his daily wants
with such currency, while he willingly
receives and remains contented there
with. such an apparent advantage is
no longer Offset by the superiority Of
the machinery heretofore employed in
manufacturing which was confined TO
che other half of the world now using
the gold. The same machinery j. now
used in China and Japan as i other

The solemn warning of Washington

tended for just such an exigency as
existed in the late congress.
At the instiga,ion Of the sugar ring
a discriminating duty was placed in
the tariff bill upon all sugar imported
from countries that pay a bounty to
encourage its production. The object
of this was to prevent our people from
getting sugar at a price below that
fixed by the sugar trust. II was an act
of hostility towards countries with
which we maintain profitable trade re-
~lations, and a robbery of every con-
sumner of sugar in the United States.
In retaliation for this unfriendly act
Germany, France, Belgium and Aus
tria have united In shutting out Ameri-

tries propose 10 increase their tariffs

would practically exclude many Of
them.
