1t may be asked why do North Car
olina. South Carolina. and Georgia,
pay this annual sum of one million
a2d u half dollars to kentucky and
Tennessee for live stock? Not that
the former States arc unable to raise
them; but because the price heretofore
given for cotton. renders 1t more prof.
table for them to raise cotton, and
buy horses and meat. But In case the
proposed tariff should destroy the
hopes OF the cotton planter, as it in
evitably must, II 1t should pass, the
farmers Of the Southern Atlantic
States. instead OF purchasing, must
raise their own hogs, horses and cat
tie. Tennessee and Kentucky will
then be deprived Of a trade in these.

they expect to receive in exchange for

with their bagging. But the whole
amount consumed In the United
states does rot exceed '$900,0 GEO per
annum. VIII Kentucky and Tenncs-
see supply tho whole Of this, even. If
the foreign article is prohibited?
Certainly not. II the price of cotton
Is much depressed. the planter OF It
must and will raise his own hemp and
make his own bagging. 1t was done
during the late war and will be done
again.
Why then should Tennessee and
Kentucky desire tho tariff.--Gazette.

The habit Of depending upon the
west for live stock Is SO long estab-
iished and so firmly, inbe dded i'm the
States OF North Carolina. South Caro-
lima and Georgia that II is not srrpris-
Ing that the efforts that have been
made In recent years to develop live
stock raising as ono Of the staple in
dustries Of those States have not met
with greater success. The custom OF
making cotton growing the paramount
agricultural industry of the South
Atlantic States Is not the result of the
war between the States and the abo-
lition OF slavery. as Is so often assert.
cd. but antcdates the war by forty or
nifty years. The harmful effects or
raising cot on and buying other things
needed on the farm were recognized
and deplored fully one hundred years

complain now were complained of in
the early years OF the nineteenth CEN
