' G HARMAX, Editor and Publisher. j Wednesday, April 2, 1902. ? i POSITION ENDORSED. i The position of Senator Tillman ' on the repeal of the "war tax" in so 1 f8r as it relates to the 10 per cent, t duty on tea, while a surprise to some ? of bis constituents, meets with the 1 approval of those who have watched J the trend of the spirit of the times i and who are of the opinion that it 1 leads to the application of practical ' politics to our policies in order that 1 the South may enjoy some of the 1 results of the policies which have 1 been the essential factors in the de- ] velopment of the industries of the ' North and made that section what it ' is today, the keystone in the great < arch of Statfsbood and enables it to < dictate the financial, commercial and industrial systems of the country. SpeakiDg for ourselves we are glad the cobwebs of prejudice are beginning to be brushed from tbe mind of ] the Senior Senator and the policies are revealed to bim in a different 1 light from that which he was taught ! under the teachings of that element ' which dominated the policies of the 1 Democratic party in the good old davs wh*n tbe rich "Southern Plan ter" viewed with complacency hb ' bread acres white with the harvest and his numerous slaves like blackbird* gathering it for the ginnerp. It was j to hi? interest that the system of free trade, or tariff for reveDue oob should be the policy of the govern merit, 'because through bis factor* his cotton was shipped to Liverpool. Manchester, and other manufacturinp marts of Europe, bringing back to , him free of duty, fine wines and li queurs and other luxuries essential to a life of easy indolence; as wel' as silks, satins, diamonds and other finery to adorn the person of the fe mile members of his familv. Then I it was tbat tbe social custom, rather than tbe business interest irliuenced tbe political policy of this sec tion and sentimentality and theory overshadowed common sense and practical idies to the it jury of the material progress of tbe South. Hence we fiod that the North 1>t 1 taking a practical view of the affairs of life is rich in manufactories of all description?; it is the centre of our financial system and by which the policies of the government are die ( Tf Vific hoon ptipKIpi^ tn bp. come tbe ruling factor in our sffjire, , not because it is more favorably sit- ? nated than the South, nor yet because its resources were larger, but , because its people laid sentimentality , aside and grasped the tide at its , flood which led on to progress and to fortune. Recognizing from tbe first the , necessity of a system that would en- ; able tbe manufacturer of tbe North , to pay fair wages to the employees i and leave a profit for the capital invested, it was natural that a tariff j cn marufactured aitides imported ] from Eurooe sufficiently large as to I i I ? ? afford protection against the pauper 1 1 ibor of foreign countries should be ( adopted, or else the industiies of this country would be crushed cut of ex istence by the rich mauufacturers of ' the old world, and our workmen, like < those of overcrowded Europe, be < slaves to al ject poverty, while the rich rolled in wealth and luxury < produced by the degredation of labor. 1 - " * -? ? a Jt ( J So we bnd tHat under rne system oj j i a protective tariff the North has i grown populous and wealthy and by neglecting to take advantage cf our opportunities and refusing to accept 1 the gifts the gods bestow the South i has clung to its free trade heresy until t ive have been left behind in the 2iarch of progress, because some political demagogue might raise the ^ :ry of "Republicanis-m." Now we submit that if a protective tariff has c. been so beneficial to the industrial interests cf Massachusetts, Conaecticut and Rhode Idand, it will be more so to those of South Carolina g md the other Southern States because our natural advantages are superior to and our resources greater a than those of the North. It is a ~ self evident fact that the North has * and is now prospering mainly through the protection given its industries i from unfair foreign competition by r the government, and it is equally I ffcar that those cf the South will t Sourish and prosper under the same P..TT/,MKla s>nn^if inriQ Thfl Sotllh. 1 V itt VUiaUlC V/UUU4nu^? v ? ? ? ^ we are glad to notice, is beginning ? to awaken to the needs of her new } invironment. There are wholesome c 3igns that the South, while clinging ? to the traditions of the fathers only is a memory cf a dead past, the new ( South is grasping the great possibili ^ ties of a bright future. Under the v leadership of Benjamin B. Tillman e in 1899, who blazed the way to ^ nnlifcieal freedom and made possible t. the exercise of free speech and independent thought and action of the individual citizen, the South is wheelnig into the line of progress and that ^ politician who places himself in the way to impede her progress will cert fcainly be crushed beneath the weight of broader and more liberal public r opinion. * ' * 1?~~~ i t \Ye nonce irom our eiuuaugt-B tuu?
