Protection In the South.

During the Mckinley and Roosevelt
administrations the South has enjoyed
prosperity as never before. Under the
benevolent influences of the Republic
can Protective Tariff policy new indus
tries have sprung up all over the
South thriving cities have been built,
new factories have been established
and the resources of that section of
the country have been developed. A
great deal of the cotton produced is
now being manufactured in the South,
great deal of the tobacco produced
is now being manufactured in the
South and a great deal OF the lumber
from Southern forests is now being
made into furniture by Southern fac
tories.
AS a result the South has discarded
its prejudices against the industrial
policies of the Republican party and
is now knocking for admission into
its ranks with the one proviso that
the Republican party will not inter-
fere with a white mans government
