Some Southern papers are now busy figuring it
out that since the West has deserted the Democratic
party, the East is the natural ally Of the Democratic
South They advance the argument that the East will
join the South in efforts for tariff tnkerng The idea
is ridiculous on its face If protective tariff is good
thing for manufacturing centers. it certainly good
for the East as that section is the largest manufacur
ing region in this country. The Democracy bases its
hopes on false grounds in believing that the East will
join the South politically unless the South itself
changes its political complexion.
