At tbs snoosl banquet of the (toatbsrc society, recently given in Ns» York city, one of the toasts jmul **Ths Press of tbs Sooth,” to whtoh Mr, Ballard Smith, of tbo World, made a most eloquent re •posse. Among tbe many splendid th.ngs uttered by tbe sptokei the following is woitby of reproduction: With tbe restoration of order great newspapers—fair rivals to tbc ir great contemporaries in tbe eastern and northern cities—have grown to pros parity in tbe various centres of the south, and they have acted out a mis siou which is in some respects pscn liar to themselves. More important than politics to tb« south, more important than tbe advocacy of good morals—for of all that our people took good care themselves injcity as in country—has been tbe material development of ou r resources Tbe war left us very poor. Carpet bag governments stole a very large part of the little that waa left. Injudicious speculations in cotton during a few years of mad nee* almost completed our bankrupt cy. With fertile fields, cheap labor, extraordinary mineral resource?, our almost undisputed control of cno of tbe great staples of tbe world, the year 1876 found us a prostrate peo pie almost beyond precedent. To ibis breach came several thoughtful, public spirited, eloquent men of tbe newspaper. We bad spokesmen who, day in and day out, in season and out, year after year, devoted their thoughts, their study, and their abili ties to sbowiog tbe world first the sturdy iuteution of our people to to eupernte their lost fortunes; and, second, tbe extraordinary resources of their section. Certainly not in tbe history of my profession, and perhaps not in any history of such endeavor, have men, sinking mere personal interests and ignoring the allurements of ambition through a more dramatic exerciao of their tal ents. so devoted themselves to tbe practical interests of their people. We saw tbe results in tbe awakened curiosity of tbe world, and in tbe speedy ioflox of capital to aid ns in our recuperation To this the Rome Tribune says; These arc words of trsth and sober ness. The press of the south has been its most efficient factor in the development which bis come to it j since the snoke of the great interne cine struggle floated ovrsy and peace came once more back to the land. Finding bimseif the poorc&t of the poor, the southern editor girded up hi* loins, put Ins hand to the task set before him ami with a heroism uk daunted and almost unparaiieleJ, bravely act to work to build up his own and his stricken neighbor's f. r- tune. His waa a labor most mcessM.r, and for years certainly of tbe poorest re¬ muneration. It was a self-sacrificing struggle in which this southern joum alist engaged, but with patriotism unswerving be labored through all trials and deprivations and sufferings for ih« upbuilding of his stricken j country and, bringing al-out of the pro*|M*rit? which toutr Messes his* - T 1 r»c, to.’S earae»t iaborci , has , reap ed some of tka fruits of bis toil, ’ but I i not as bare otbnrs. While be pictur . ed lb« unbounded miners] snd »<rri cahursl wealth ot tbe South, while j be cessed not year in snd year out to I proclaim to tbe world that tl,«* south- j land was the most favored of sit the earth, while bis heart was madeglsd •t the sight of the smoke of furnace and factory, at the happy bonu s springing up all about him, he mur mured not nor complained that bis services bad not, and has not, met with* that substantial recognition which they so justly deserved. The southern newspaper is the roost generous giver in existence. Should not that generosity be belter appreciated than, in many com muni ties, it is? Not a* a mendicant do these best of warriors fc r southern progress and development COroe to tbe great rich corporations and ir.dus tries, made possible by tbe eloquence of their persistent zeal in bringing about the conditions which fcave made possible and profitable these in dustries, br.t simply as the labr er who is worthy of his hire. There can be no progress, worthy tbo name, possible to any eommuni ty unaided by the magic power of a live newspaper. Shortsighted indeed are they who think otherwise. The newspapers o' the south have been the roost rplendid agency iu its development, and ns such they dc serve the heartiest and and Ireest and most liberal support. Baliard Smith ««» right in his es tiro ate. Make Them Npeak Out. Tbs Augusla Chronicle says: ‘‘They are bounding candidates for the legislature on the tariff question in Wilkes.” Upon which tbe En¬ quirer Sun remarks: “Wo hope every county will fol lor, tbe example of Wilkes, and mike every man declare bis position when bo asks tbs support of the peo pie. It may be said that tbo legislature bas uotbiug to do with tbe tariff question. It Las a great deal to do with it. Ttio next legislature will electa senator of tbe United States, and wo waul no protectionist to slip tn. Lcgi.-iaturco have been known to pasa resolutions on subjects, wbtie they bad no power to legislate, and these resolutions h .va open taken as representing tbe >vi*! of tbo people, although the questions embraced in tbtiu had r.olbicg to do with tbe vote, when tbe members were elected. A vigilant miuority might possibly carry their wishes ami plans into effect, in spite of tbo wishes of tbo majority. A popular man may be indues 1 bv tbe ; toUtr oiuais to rnu for tua legislature, and may get tbe endorsement of tbo democratic party without declaring himself Tbe people should see that this is no: done. Who n they are called to vote f »r i man for any office; they have r ght to know whether or not he will use that office to help keep the burdensome an 1 unnecessary tairff on the necessaries of life. Lot every man br made to express his opinions, and then the people will make no mistake.” Au Imperative Necessity. M hat pure air is to an unhealri j locality, wliat spr.ng cleaning is to the neat house¬ keeper, so is Hood's Sarsaparilla to every¬ body, at this season.
