There was time in the South when
quite number of manufacturers be-
lieved in a protective tariff. There is
some logic and reason why manufac-
turer might believe in protection as long
as the home market affords a demand
for all he makes, but the moment that he
looks to sell his product in foreign
market, that very moment he sees that
protection, instead of helping him, is
a positive injury. And so, as they are
looking to larger markets for the sale
facturers are coming to regard the high
protective tariff as the barrier to in
dustrial progress and expansion. Ten
years ago there were not a few protec-
tionists among Southern manufacturers
even when such manufacturers as Wal
ter T.. Steele and Thomas NJ Holt had
the vision to see the day of glut in the
home market that has now come to the
cotton mill industry. The number OF
protectionists among cotton mill own
ers decreases as the need of foreign
market increases. Indeed The day is not
far distant when the manufacturers,
some of whom formerly believed in
will lead the fight against
high tariff Mr. Moses Cone, the sue
cessful and wealthy cotton manufac-
a NJ
the necessity for larger market will
give him much company among cotton
manufacturers when they study the
question.

competitors. That has been the phi
losophy of Southern Democrats.
Senator McLaurin thanks God. that
now that white supremacy is establish

with the best thought of the age. Give
me leave to say that / thank God that
the South has long given to others an
opportunity to put themselves in touch
with the best thought of the time; but
others would not.
If now the Senator's new-found
friends have changed their spots; if
now any Republicans have become
amenable to reason; if row broad pa
triotism has supplanted narrow selfish
interests if now any who once prostrat-
ed themselves before their fetish-the
home market-have had their intelli-
gence enlightened and have become
converts to Democratic philosophy, /
find in such q desirable change great
cause for cangratulation. The thought
is inspiring. It brings with it a sub
stantial hope for the future condition
of our industries and the growth and
development of our manufacturing in
terests. I would that not only these,
but all their friends, as well, would
embrace the true doctrine.
Be sure it would add to the prosper
happiness and rebound to the glory of
our country.

To the Editor:
VIII YOU give space to some remarks
pertinent to the recent speech of Sena-
tor McLaur1n, as printed in your paper"
The Senator asserted his adherence
to the Democratic party, but having a
great occasion to laud and magnify our
party, he seemed to condemn rather
than praise it.
Permit me in some slight degree to
supply his deficiency. 1t will be a
work OF love-for l find in it justiti-
cation of the teachings of lifetime
The broad philosophy of industrial ac-
ton which for a generation Southern
statesmen have sought to enforce is
that the industries of our country are
too extensive to be cramped and con-
fined to the home market; that all must
look to the sea; that we must seek for
eign sale for our products among for
eign populations.
And to that end, the Democrats have
urged that we should so reform our
tariff laws as to enable our manufac-

Ions of whislzey are brought by rail and

per year. Thus we have the evils of the
liquor traffic and get no revenue from

with the situation at Waynesville which
gets $2,372 for the schools and like
amount for the town from its dispensary,
and says the qestion is one of growing

Of isolation has been the constant
teaching of the Democratic party; it
is the philosophy which the Democrat
ic leaders of the South have sought
without ceasing to infuse: and if now
there is an awakening Of the intelli-
gence and patriotism Of Republican
leaders to the truth of our doctrine.
the fact is cause for great and long
and loud rejoicing.
AS citizen | shall rejoice because
of the benefits that will accrue to our
country; as a Democrat l shall rejoice
because it will be a vindicatioE of our
judgment-proof of the correctness Of
our principles, and ample evidence of
our intelligent patriotism.
1t will vindicate our claim that we
have long given to the people the best
thought" and all Democrats can heart
lily rejoice and applaud the consumma-
tion of cur desires.
Had Senator McLaurin possessed a
Democratic heart he would doubtless
have haise da paean CT victory when
narrating that there were influences
at work putting our Democratic doc
trine Of an expanding commerce into
effect here in these "pent UP" United
States. But the tenor OF his speech
shows that his heart is not Democratic.
Indeed his argument throughout sug
gests that the Southern Democrats
have been opposed to the very indus
trial policy which they have SO per-
sistently advocated against the bitter
antagonism of the very men whose
cause the Senator now champions.
But | have no mind to discuss .Sena-
tor McLaurin. Ben Franklin threw out
the idea that even as a policy honesty
was best-and the Senator has vet to
learn that even as policy, fairness Of
statement is best-without it, one may
make a hit" but it is always at the
loss of respect.
From IT'S TO 1860, with the Slight in
tervaI of the alien and sedition cpl
sode of Adams administration, the
statesmen of the South gave tone and
character to our government, and their
genius and patriotism and illustrious
services bore q rich fruitage unparal-
leled in the history Of nations. Never
was there a similar development
known in the annals of time.
Corrupt influences. selfish interests
and bitter prejudices have deprived our
country of the benefits ana advantages
that would have accrued from the adop-
ton of those governmental policies
which Southern men in this generation
have advocated; and if now there is to
be great change, it should be a source
of great satisfaction; if now the policy
of an expanding commerce and of
seeking foreign markets which we
have so persistently advocated, is to be
adopted it should be cause of great
joy.
I forbear to trespass further. The oc-
casion at Charlotte was such an ale-
giant opportunity for a Democrat TO
present the doctrine of bis party and
to laud and to magnify 1T, and to sing
it's praises with honest enthusiasm, and
Senator McLaurin shot so wide of the
mark, that I conceived ii might not he
amiss to ask a hearing for that party
whose measures in the past made our
country so great and so glorious and
whose principles and doctrines, it now
appears, are again to be invoked as
necessary and essential for our further
growth and development

THE WAY TO LARGER MARKETS.
"To the sea, ITO the sea.


1t was with these words that great
Ohio Democrat closed an argument in
Congress for a reduction of the tariff.
1t was years ago that he pointed out that
industrial expansion could not thrive
on home market, and advocated the
broader Americanism that will carry
the products of American mills into
every country under the sun. While
tariff reform, wider markets, and
worldwide commerce have been the
shibboleths of the Democratic party,
the little Americans" like Mckinley
have held the delusion of home mar
ket before their faces until it so con-
fined their vision they could not see
that the day was near at hand when
manufacturing would stagnate unless
it's product could be carried to the ut
termost parts of the world. For there
is no such thing as selling the product
of American mills for money. Foreign
trade is based upon exchange, and the
only money that passes is the balance

In his speech at Charlotte Senator
McLaurin criticized the Democratic
party because it chung to the old tradi.
lions and principles, and in effect said
its progremme was not the one needed
for the industrial South. In an article
printed today from the pen of Capt.
Samuel A. Ashe, which appeared IN
yesterdays Charlotte Observer. there
is a complete answer to the palnetto
Senator, and it is shown that the very
need voiced by the cotton manufacIuf-
ers is the principle for which the DEM
ocratic party has always stood, to-Wit:
remove the shackles from industry by
tearing down the Chinese wall of pro-
lection, and thus give the whole world
to our manufacturers as a market.
Protection is the barrier to large COM
merce and foreign markets. 1t cannon
be permanently removed by buying
trade with subsidies. Experience has
shown that trade does NOT follow the
flag. There is but one way to furnish
ample markets for the product of the
rapidly increasing Southern cotton
mills, and that is to destroy the walls
of high protection. That same method
will likewise destroy many of the trusts.
The Republican policy is to continue
high protection, vote millions in subsi-
IN 1JIU frnnjcll
countries and subjugating yellow men.
The Democratic policy today, as every
day for an hundred years, is to open
wide the doors, tear down the barriers,
and give American manufacturers the
markets of the whole world and leave
the men of other countries, whether
! white, red or yellow, to work out their
own destinies, and be friendly traders
with us instead of unwilling dependents
and subjects.
Which, We ask, is the best policy
for the cotton manufacturer of the
South-the substituting, bonus-paying
bullying of weaker people by the Repub-
licans and their allies, or the equal
honorable and just open door policy that
! COMFORTS with the civilization and
progress of the twentieth century?
There has been an attempt to make
| the manufacturers believe that the idle
spindles and low prices are due wholly
to the loss of the Chinese trade Incl
| dent to the war. The truth is. as the
Textile World shows, that the loss in
export business to China would keet
/ only 100000 spindles busy while We
have been starting new spindles at the
/ rate of over two millions per year.
! The remedy is not to stop the develop.
ment of the cotton mill industry. That
would be a policy unworthy of th5
craftsmanship of this generation. VIVA
! is the remedy? 1t is to obtain larger
market. This can be procured only b.
such national policies as will facilitat,
| trade between this and every country
that needs the cotton goods. What i.
the chief barrier that stands in IL,
way of securing that trade? Every
body knows it is the high pro1~ctiv.
tariff. As long as it endures, we MAJ

One day Judge Marshall, engrossed
in his reflections, was driving over the
Wretched roads of North Carolina on
his way to Raleigh in stick gig. His
horse turned out Of the road, and the
sulky ran over sapling and was tilted
so as to arouse the judge. When he
found that he could move neither to
right nor left, an old negro, who had
come along, solved the difficulty.
"My old marster," he asked, what
fer you don't back your horse?"
"That's true" said the judge, and he
acted as advised. Thanking his deliv-
erer heartily, he felt in his pocket for
some change, but he did not have any.
''Never mind. old man," he said 81
shall stop at the tavern and leave some
money for you with the landlord"
The old negro was not impressed
with the stranger; but he called at the
tavern and asked the keeper if an old
gentleman had left anything there for
him.
"Oh, yes" said the landlord, che left
a silver dollar for you. What do yon
think of that old gentlemanY

hand in his pocket to give him the six
pence, when he heard shrill voice.

rourh old English statesmen.

In Macaulay's day English statesmen
were Of a harder and more robust
type than the present race of poll
ticians. They seem to have had cast
iron nerves and appetites and diges-
lions to match. They dined off a huge
beefsteak and a bottle of port, while
their grandsons are content with outlet
and squash. And yet they liv-
ed to good old age. We hear Of Lord
Brougham at the age Of 20 drinking
two bottles of port at dinner, going to
bed upon half bottle of peat reek
(whisky) and turning out at daylight
to shoot teal:;" and Lord Lyndhurst at
the age Of 80 "supping off hot boiled
lobster and champagne"
Mr.. Kinnear, an old parliamentary
hand, tells us that he remembers see
ing 'Mr. Disraeli drinking. as the pre-
Iude to a big speech, pint Of port
wine at the buffet in the commons
lobby, dressed In green coat, a buff
,waistcoat and snuff colored trousers"

be excusable for his action if he

THERE are few things more amaz-
ing in the political history of the
United States than the utter collapse
of the Democratic party in Congress
as party. Here is situation where
the United States is confronted by
conditions of the very greatest i'm
portance, where new lines of action
have to be blocked out as it goes
along, new and unsupported difficult
ties have to be met and overcome-a
situation, too, where men might be
expected to be found radically differ
ing on almost every point. Yet so
we'll has President Mckinley man
aged matters, so kindly and cordial
has he ever been even to his most
virulent opponents, that there is now
positively no organized opposition to
him. The men in Congress who dis
like him personally can be counted
on the fingers of one hand, and it is
impossible to unite the Democratic
party against any plan put forward
by him. This was most clearly shown
in the recent Senate action on Cuba.
It may be questioned whether ever
before in the history of the country,
under such excellent conditions for
filibustering, the minority yielded SO
completely as it did on this. The
truth seems to be that the Democrats
have been forced to approve so many
Republican policies which they once
denounced, that they have lost their
nerve and fear to do anything.
