It's Protection Anyhow


 lts Protection Anyhow
 There Is some disposition among Republicans to criticize Hayden for certain remark he made in his excellent speech in the house in port of twenty-cent duty long staple cotton. Mr. Hayden took occasion to reaffrm his faith in the Democratic doctrine of tariff for only" and he said that he then urging the duty cotton for the revenue
 Neither do we with MT. Hayden's notions on the tariff principle but objection in this is purely academic. We any cotton grower would think any the less Of twenty-cent tariff cotton if it laid for only and not for protection The protection would be incidental, but none the less protection
 We do not it is true like the tariff at all. We wish there other way to secure protection but no other has been discovered. We like it still less as a revenue producing device, for tax be more unfair than tariff tax which falls with equal weight upon all regardless of their unequal ability to pay it. The poor with large family pays a heavier tax coffee tea, and many other articles than his rich neighbor with small family.
 In the present circumstances the need for nue is so great and the of revenue few that we have look the tariff the chief so if the tariff people in con- trol they would probably give fair tariff law. But the tariff for idea is giving place even in the solid south to the protection idea An analysis of the votes of the house on the Fordney tariff justifies belief that the "solid south the verge disintegration. In fact, the record shows the processes of dissolution have already started.
 On the test vote for tariff cotton 21 Demo- crats voted for the tariff IS of whom from the "soid south" The record vote shows these Demo crats to have been: Aswell. Ia: Blanton Texas; Buchanan. Texas Dupre. La:- Favrot. La; Garner Texas; Hayden, Arizona; Humphreys. Miss; Lank- ford, Ga; Larsen. Ga Lazaro La- Lea, calif.; Lee Ga; Martin, La; overstreet. Ga; Par Ga: Parrish Texas; Raker, Calf; sandlin Ia; smithwick. Fla- Wilson. Of these 21 1t will be that Louisi contributed votes. Georgia five. Texas four, Mississippi and Florida one vote each. In other words. the solid Democratic Louisiana delega- ton, with exception of one. voted this pro- tective schedule One fourth of the members from Texas voted for and five of the Georgia dele gaton of twelve.
 On the test vote for protective .duty on hides 25 Democrats were recorded in favor of a protective tariff as follows: Aswen. La Bell Ga: Blanton, Texas; Buchanan. Texas Deal, Va; Dupre. La.; Favrot La; Garner Texas; Hayden. Arz.; Hum phreys Miss; Jones' Texas; Lankford. Ga; Lazaro La; Lea Calif; Lee. Ga; Mansfield. Texas Martin La; Moore, Va; Padgett, Tenn Park. Ga; Parrish Texas; Baker. Calif Sandin. La: Smithwick. Fla; Wilson, L a. Louisiana again within one of casting her solid vote for this protective schedule Texas increased it's Democratic support to six which, added to the Republican vote of Congressman Wurz- bach. made seven Texas votes out of the total IT. Georgia cast one-third of for the schedule. Mississippi. Florida and Tennessee each contributed one and Virginia contributed Demo- cratic votes This makes total of 22 Democrats from the solid south" who supported the hide schedule
 Congressman Wurzbach (Repubcan) represent ing the San Antonio Texas district is convinced that the Republican party will, the future, challenge Democratic control in very large part of the south Tt may exaggerated statement" said Congressman Wurzbach. but believe it ex- presses the exact truth that 80 per of the Texas people firmly believe in protective tanff. In the last few years the southern people have come converted to the Republican tariff policy. Southern farmers, stockmen and business who understand the tariff today almost to a man in favor of its cardinal doctrine of Repubcanism.' Judge Wurzbach says the Democrats who voted against protective tariff cotton and hides are going to have very serious time explaining their vote to their constituents.
