I TIIK LARGEST CIRCILATION. Augusta, r>A..i 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. New idesrti.semenls. MR. JAMES T.
