HARD TO UBDBHSTAHD.
- The fact that some of the cotton
manufacturers in the-South have
. . A onnMivol nf tYia T?nrm H-
lican policy' of tariff protection, fol
lowed by the advocacy of r that pol
icy by Senator McLaurin, of "South
Carolina, has created an impression
that this sentiment has made con
siderable headway in ) this section.
That it has made some headway is
true, but not enough to become a
serious matter. The masses of the
Southern white people are as much
opposed to tariff robbery as tney
ever were. '
. On the assumption that the senti
a resnectable strength, - it
is meeting with some attention in
the. North, thev Eepublican organs
construing and welcoming it as a
sign of a coming political revolu
tion in I this section, while others
who do not believe in tariff plun-
, r . 1
denng pronounce n "nara to un-
derstand, - taking it ior granted, oi
.course, that .tne Southern .people
possess an ordinary amount of com
mon sense. The New York Times
comments on it thus: .
"The student of the tendency of
Southern thought on economic quea
' tions finds it difficult to understand
the growth of a pro tariff sentiment,
of which he sees so many indications.
or to reconcile inis wun me iaci ion
the Industrial prosperity of the South
ern States is so lagely dependent upon
which can be benefitted even tempo ra
rily, by hisrh protection, are relatively
small: those which demand as the
condition of their prosperity a consis
tent adherence to a policy which shall
encourage and foster commercial re
ciprocity on the broadest lines, and
which can be affected only injur!
ousIt by men protection, are nu
merous and in the highest degree im
portant. .This is especially true of its
iron and steel industries, its cotton
- planting interests, and its cotton goods
manufactures. Among its industries
which protection cannot possibly help
may be mentioned its lumber bust
ness, the manufacture of forest pro
ducts known as naval stores, the
growing of rice, the manufacture of
cottod seed oil and other seed pro
ducts, its extensive peanut industry;
in fact, everything or nearly every
" thing which is distinctly Southern the
, tariff either affects unfavorably or not
at all. It is difficult to see why the
BOUin would not prosper in a aiga
degree under as close an approxi
mation to free trade as the necessi
ties of national finance permit.
The fact remains, however,' that the
tariff sentiment in the 8outh is gain
ing strength, and since in New Eng
land it is as steadily weakening, a nat
ural but probably incorrect explana
tion of tne phenomenon is tnat ottered
by a Southern man a few days ago, to
the effect that, as the South and New
England had always thought differ
ently on every subject of common in
terest,-it was bound to do so in this in
stance, even though New England
was right and, the SouUi mistaken."
The Times is not a partisan paper,
and while it leans : rather towards
the Democratic than the Republican
party on general principles, it can
not be strictly styled a Democratic
paper; therefore its views, as above
expressed, are not inspired by party
prejudice or interests. It is hard
for it to understand how, after
fighting the protective tariff mon
strosity for a third of a century,
Southern men can embrace it when
its former advocates . and devotees
are turning away from it. It isn't
easy to understand, or would not be
for those who do not know . that
those in the South who now favor
that policy are confined to the com-,
paratiye few who think they are or
will be benefitted by it, and to those
who have political aspirations and
hope to attain eminence in some
new party which they could never
attain in the party on which they
turn their backs. - -
The Times calls attention to the
fact that being an agricultural sec
tion the South's prosperity must
denend for some time on her exnorts.
Her manufactures may continue to
grow and diversify even more rapid
ly than they have in : the past, but
even then it will be a good . many
years before they lead her agricul
ture. But even then, if her pros
perity depended upon, her manu
factures we contend "that these
1 3 "-I. 3 1 "1 ,
wuum luureaoo more rapiaiy ana oe
more prosperous under absolute
free trade than they would under
the protective system.
uere is our reason ior tnis asser
tion: ine only competitors our
Southern manufactories ' have to
contend against are the manufac
tories of the North. Southern man
ufacturers do not, at least yet, com
pete with each other. They how
ever, compete with Northern man
ufacturers. It Is claimed, and
with truth, that on account of nat
ural advantages, cheapness of the
raw materials, the lower cost of la
bor, and for other reasons, manufac
turing can be carried on cheaper in
the South than in the North, and
therefore the Southern manufac
turer could better afford to do with
out tariff protection, or Government
help, than Northern ; manufacturers
could.: Isn't it apparent, then, that
if tariff protection were withdrawn
the Southern manufacturers, would
gain a very decided .advantage over
those of the Northern manufacturers
who say their prosperity, and even
existence are dependent upon tariff
protection?. Whether they be de
pendent upon ft or not, : they cer
tainly are more dependent upon it
"w : ooutnern: manufactnrATs
are, and hence the Southern man.
wiun a inmcj wnicn
.gives strength to and helps his oppo
nent to compete with him does not
show good business senBe, to say the
least of it.
If the Northern "manufacturers
were thrown entirely upon their own
resources and their own. manage-,
ro'eut, without any Government sup
port, they would soon succumb- to
their Southern competitors, as a
good many of the Northerncotton
mills have alrratryauecumbed on
lines of goods inwhich they could
not compete.
The Trusts Come in also to help
the North as against the South. It
has been denied by the supporters
of the protective tariff thalT it en
genders'Trusts, but every onVwith
two grains of mother wit knos it
does. It eives its beneficiaries a
practical monopoly" of the home
market, and to obviate the compe
tion that would Jessen the profits of
the beneficiaries in their respective
lines they proceed-to form com
bines, or Trusts to prevent compe
tition. There are none of these in
the South, save perhaps in the to
bacco business and-they are con
trolled by Northern capital. This
being so. isn't it apparent that if
the protection were l remoyed and
the monopoly of the home market
thus destroyed, the Trusts would
I fall to pieces, and then . similar; in
dustnes would have a chance in the
South, because they would not be
confronted by these powerful com
bines having at command immense
capital? Then the way, would be
cleared for the establishment on a
large scale of iron and steel works,
and numerous other industries
which cannot he entered upon now,
because they would have to contend
against these mighty : combines
which could crush them before they
got a good start.
. The Southern man who looks
ahead, and would see his section
take the shortest road to success as
a manufacturing section, would
favor a tariff as near free trade as it
could possibly get, and such a man
would see the short-sighted folly
of the - Southern manufacturer who
thinks he sees permanent benefit for
himself and the South in protec
tive system to which even some of
the Northern manufacturers have
become opposed, because it places a
I damper upon their export business,
a good reason why the South, as the
New York Times, from which we
I have quoted above, says, should be
opposed to it, because it will prove
an impediment to her export busi
ness, upon which her prosperity does
now, and will-in the future depend.

FAT 0? THE BfiAIH.
The late Governor Pingree, of
Michigan, who died in London re
cently, was a man of the people, so
much so that he was a target for the
shafts of the Republican partisans
because he was formerly a Republican
and severed his connection with the
party when it fell so completely into
the hands of the money power.
Several years ago a newspaper cor
respondent had an interview with
him, in whieh he scored Cleveland
and McKinley, both of. whom, he
declared, had gone over . to the
money power after their election to
the presidency. This interview has
been recently published, in which
he thuB referred to evil effects of
the accumulation of great wealth by ,
the few:
"Most men can't get a great deal of
money on nana . witnout Decerning
selfish and cowards. In war times few
men had money, and there was brav-
ery on every side; the idea that money
was better than nonor wasn't very
strong in those days. But daring our
httle trouble with Spain I saw more
middle-aged men get white at the pros
pect or baying to go to ue irons man
I supposed were in existence. Why?
They've got money-fat on tne brain.
and that's a form of paresis that kills
ail courage. . -v
"We're getting too mucn money in
tne bands of tne few or tnis country.
I don't believe our governmental ays
tern causes this or that it's any fault
of tne republic it's due to seinanneas
greed the desire to hare everything
and boss everything. We're going to
be badly hurt by this selfishness some
day if we are not able to reach it by
legislation, because it will breed vio
lence, nou and-destruction of prop
erty. . You can't steal from ten people
with one hand and give to two people
with the other hand and square your
conscience. v.:-
"That's the trouble with the Repub
lican party to day.- It's got a ham fat
brain, and money is its curse"
This is a true bill.- While the
Republican platform makers hypo
critically prof ess interest -in the
toilers of the land, the man of
money is the' mighty factor in con
trolling its policies and. the votes of
its representatives in Congress. As
against this, money interests the
masses of the people stand no more
show than a pigeon in the infernal
regions. ; The Trusts,' combines,
subsidy grabbers and other, schemers
for loot from the Treasury ' have
the party completely in their power,
and will get from it the Legislation
6r protection they want, platform or
no platform. ;

would simply be to subtract the
$24,500,000 from the damages as
sessed. Because China, through an
error of some . one, has agreed to
pay this much in excess of the
amount demanded is - no reason
why, the error having been discoV

If an individual took advantage
of an:, error . in settlement with a
debtor by which the creditor would
get more than he was entitled to;
and he knew that and took .the
money there wouldn't be any room
to draw a line between him and an
ordinary every day thief. . And that
will be exactly the case with the
allied Powers if they takeihis money

of deal of hocus-pocusing about this
whole business, and a good deal that
doesn't do much credit to the allied
Powers, which seem bent on squeez

you-will ever get will be in yourself.
Take your burdens and troubles and
losses and wrongs, if come they must
and will, as your opportunities, know
ing that God has girded you for great
er things than these. Horace Bush
