'l'hte great touchlst one of all quest ionts of poli tical coonomny is, will it pay ? . .Bet woen agriculture . and mnanuifacturo there o:im hardly be at present any issue. if the South- manufacture, she must dli it in competition - with the North and wilth England. It is well knowtn t.hat theo North bas demanded pr'otee tiv'e tariff to enable her to compete with foreignecountries. It is imp~ossi ble for the South to comtpete with the North ini manufactures, for the simple reason that her population is too sparse'. When the same reason is ap liedlto 1j inabl~il it y to conmpeto with ngland,W is stronger, because her population is far less in proportion to the area than thatt of Groat Britaint. 'Zthe contsequence is that Englagid capi -ta~l employs labor at its own price, whiilo it 'this conutry, .aud especially. in the South, as famr as matnufactures is concernied, labor dlemuands its wages, andl dapital is obliged to accede to it. -Labor is from 6 to 9 times higher In the South than it. is in Enigla.nd, when dircted to manutfacturo, while .it is less in agricultural pursuits than Eng land can afl'rd. en icu the South must, dopuid upon her iagricultural re sources more thnum up:i lier mianufac. turing.
