SUNDAY MORNING March 18,tf>6«
The Right Policy vs. the
Wrong Policy.
We have heretofore urged upon our
people the duty and importance of ttus"
tabling our home enterpi'ies, and of
patronizing home industry. We have
always thought and we still continue to
think that this is the right and the only
correct policy for the people of the
South to pursue. We have heard this
policy endorsed by others, who, with a
strange and unaccountable inconsistency,
do not practice it. This is what we
conceive to be the wrong policy. It is
a duty we owe tt> ourselves and to our
neighbors to patronize our own people,
to sustain their own industry and enter
prise to the extent of our ability. This
is the right policy. This will build up
our community, our State, our section—
advance their interests and promote
their prosperity. The converse of this
policy, which is undoubtedly and unde
niably the wrong policy, will ruin our
community, impoverish our State, and
degrade our section. No true patriot,
who loves his State and desires its web
fare, will sustain the wrong policy ; but
will* with all the means, all the ability,
and all the energy at bis command, sus
tain the right policy.
How unpatriotic, how unjust, and how
unwise must he be who pursues the
wrong policy. He sends to the North
for all the dry goods, millinery, and
clothing which his family need ; yet he
expects his neighbors who have, for bis
accommodation and convenience, ini
ported large stocks of these articles, to
pay their taxes and help support the
government of the city and the State !
Is not this manifestly unjust ? He
sends abroad for his groceries and his
provisions, and yet again he expects
his neighbors who sell these articles at
his very door, to pay their taxes and
help support the • government of the
city and State. Is not this manifestly
unjust? Suppose that every person
who had the means should follow this
pernicious example, what would be the
result ? Our merchants, having no
trade of consequence, would be com
pelled to close up their establishments!
and leave the market to a few cross
roads stores to supply the wants of poor
consumers who were unable to ape the
errors of their more wealthy tellow-citi
7. ms. Our beautiful Broad street would
become a waste, a desert looking place,
with doors shut in the face of every
passer by ; cobwebs hung pendant from
door jambs and awning posts ; and de
cay and desolation marking its entire
length. Real nutate wo.uld be worthless ;
and there would be nothing of conse
quence to tax which could bring a rev
enue into the coffers of the city. Rail
roads and steamboats, it is true, might
continue to flourish for a while, bring
ing hack the freights purchased by our
patriots in other and more Northern
and Western climes ; but these would
eventually come under the fell spirit of
decay ; because, if the merchant could
oot sell his goods, mechanics could not
obtain employment, and the professional
man, even if he had patients or clients,
could get no pay for his services ; and
as population decreased, and decay and
ruin advanced step by step, the means
of patronizing others instead of our own
people would eventually cease, and uni
versal desolation would prevail. Is this
policy wise ? Is it patriotic ?
Reader, this is no fancy picture, no
idle phantom of the imagination ; but a
sure consequence which the least reason
ing and refiectiou will assure you must
result from persistence in the wrong
policy. On the other hand, suppose
you adopt the right policy. Suppose
you purchase your dry goods, your mil
linery, your clothing, your groceries,
your provisions, your furniture, your
machinery, and all that you need, at
home, what will be the result? The
merchant will be enabled to purchase
larger stocks and sell them cheaper; he
will be able to increase his business,
improve his stores, give employment to
mechanics, clerks, and laborers; these in
turn wiil require many articles, and so
increase consumption ; this, again, will
give employment and business to numer
ous others ; the farmer, the lawyer, the
physician—in short, all classes will be
benefitted ; money will be kept at home;
property will become more valuable ;
taxes will be increased, but more readily
paid ; the city be improved—its streets
beautified; its population increased—
and grandeur and prosperity take the
place of want and squalor. If the com
munity is benefitted, the State will also
be benefitted, and the whole South, if this
right policy be generally adopted, will be
benefitted.
Let us hope, then, that all will adopt
Ju.zuL.i4e luuu abn.uhg the I\unu, aud
ycl, sending our money there. It will be
more wise, more consistent and more
patriotic. Let ns hope that all will unite
to build up onr section, to retrieve its
wealth and greatness; and that no
Southern man will be guilty of such
gross inconsistency as to advocate the
interests of the community, denounce
our Northern brethren, aud yet give
their patronage and encouragement
abroad. Let us hope, in short, that all
will agree to abandon the wrong policy,
and strive to carry out the right policy.
Let all do this and the result will not fail
to be gratifying to every patriot, to every
well wisher of his city. State and country.
