New Orleans Picayune solemnly reasons
that a protective tariff on sugar is a

business in the peanut country, as We

tecuonist, though a Democrat And Of
all things, we are assured. this time by
the Charlotte Observer. that the Southern
protectionist is very tenderly disposed to-
ward the consumer. Nowhere, we are
told, viii the consumer receive more con-
sideration than in the South. He and the
producer mingle in that halcyon region
