South Made the Wealth.
The prime factor in tha creation of all
this wealth has been th©. great agricul
tural production of th© south which has
overflowed Into the promotion and crea
tion of all other Industries—an agricul
tural production of many hundreds of
millions of dollars each year, which,
while it lias entered most largely Into
the preservation of the balene© of trade
for the whole country, haa had no assis
tance from the Republican party or Its
policies, but has depended for Its gigan
tic auccesa upon the rule of the Demo
cratic party In the southern states, pre
serving social order. Insuring honest and
economical local government, and pro
tecting all In the rights of property.

to the presumptuous offer of th© Repub

Fallacious Protection Policy.
The alluring contention that the pro
tective policy of the Republican party la
necessary for the development of the en
terprise of the south Is plausible but
fallacious.
At the outset th© proposition Is met

Important part of th© productive busi

In which, with a very small exception,
there can I** no aid from the. operation

under that system the agriculturist* of
the south, while ©ompelled by reason of
the tariff to pay two price© tor all they

again, a* to *)! other enterprise* which

the assumption that th© alternative! Is
between a high protective tariff on the
one hand, agd no tariff at ©n on the

Tho Way They Work Protection.)
It was upon thla theory, aa announced I
In the democratic platform, that when
the Dlngley bill was before the senate
in 1S37, I offered an amendment Impos-
Ing a duty of twenty per cent on Impor
tations of cotton. Mr. Brantley not hav. I
Ing had opportunity to offrr It when the
bill was before the house. This was not
a protective rate of duty, but a revenue
rate of duty. It was designed as a rev*
onue duty upon Importations of ■ Kgypd
tlan long staple cotton which competed 1
with American long staple cotton. If
the amendment had bean Anally adopted
It would have brought one million and
flve hundred thousand dollars i$l,!00,000)|
annual revenue Into the treasury. It
was defeated by the New England influ
ence* which wanted free raw, materia)
for their knit goods manufactures,
Tf there were no necessity for a Ml—
nue. one might well be opposed to any
tariff duty, becaufe money should nod
be taken out of one man's pocket to aid
another man’s business./ ’ But as the
tariff Is a necessity .to raise revenue^
and as Its burdens must be borne .by all
people and all sections, then whatever
benefit there may be should be equally
distributed among all tho people and all I
the sections, keeping in view always
that the object or the tariff Is th© rals-i
Ing of revenue aitd that the schedules
should be framed with this purpose In
view.
Othtr Curious Republican Logic.
The contention Is urged by republi
cans, both high and low. that the dan
gers to the oonth growing out of the
reconstruction measures having passed,
there Is no lon*rr reason why aoulhem
men should not become republicans. In
other words the effort ef the Republican
party to convert the«outh Into another
Haiti having been defeated by th©-Dem
ocratic party, there Is no reason now,
the danger being thus removed, why -the
south ehould not abandon the Demo,
crattc party r.nd Join the Republican I
party. Imfeed a curious logic this!
Especially Is It an Interesting proposi
tion when it Is recalled that the last re
publican national convention eakl In Its
platform:
“We declare once more and without
reservation for the snforoement of the
I thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the constitution.'
Crime of the Republican Party.
J The preaent complete' enforcement of
[the fifteenth amendment, as ortafnatly
designed by the framers.of It. would *1 III
convert the eouth Into another Haiti. I
repeat what I have said upon a form©©

the civilisation of the south, never will

been bequeathed that civilisation thus
preserved, never should forget It.
I take no pleasure In recalling the bor-
rort and animosities of that frightful
period, in our history. I would prefer
that that dead past should remain dead,
but when with tho prom Ires of the re
ward of political favor and power, tho
people of the south are conjured to ally
themselves with the party that thxl*
■ought to destroy them, there la present*!
*«*tn the tlm© for plalo speaking. When
the time copies for a change of political
Parties at the south, her people may well
■ay to the Republican party.
“Tak© any shape but that!”
Political isolation? Certainly Not
The political solidarity of the south
does not bring to It political isolation,
as has been suggested. The Democrat;j
Party Is not a sectional party. Tlie
southern democrats are in political asso
ciation with the democrats of thr north,
