Tho Solid south and Solid North.
Politics sometimes diive sections to
extremes which they would not oth
erwise have reached, Tlic Solid
South political y. is said to h ive pro
duced a Solid North politically A
solid North, in protective torill', has
produced a solid South in IVo-.- trade.
While the North has be-n growing
rich through tho agency of protec
tion, the South has been getting
poorer in clamoring for free trade,
and has been adding strength to
those who arc solidly opposed to her
politically, financial'y and theoreti
cally, Wo have been sol and in tho
production of cotton, while the North
has been solid in the production of
bread stuffs and manufactures -
I'hcorv.tieally an 1 pmtieally tlm
North and South have gradually fall
mi into an oposing solidity* because
tho interest ot the sections were b.-
iiovctl to be antagonistic. Now that
the political, productive, manufac
turing and protective solidi y and the.
Noith lias ru'od the South from the
direction rd tho government, we
hope tho South will make 'wo more
movements in solidity. II wc can
nor have five trule, tho true intere.-t
ol 1 |)0 Od utit is to turn attention
to cotton manufacture, and let the
North put on all the tariff, in
ill at direction, taut sec-met h. good. If
the North has grown rich by protec
tion, the South won Id grow richer
under a manufacturing mouopo'y.—
If protection has made thj profits
on cotton goods great at the North,
it would make them greater on
Southern cotton goods, Then
lot ns grow solid in the‘production
of grains, grasses, meals, cattle and
horses. That will do ns permanent
good, financially, individually and
sectionalJy, while it will weaken the
North financially, 'scciionally and
politically, Let us grow more
solid in agriculture and manu
facture, and we will grow strong po
litical : y. Lot us be patient, deter
mined and energetic in that course,
and success will assuredly crown our
efforts,
