VO HE PEOPLES JOURN VOL -NO. 239 PICKENS. S. C., THURSDAY, JULY 4, 190'. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR THE SOUTH NOT TO High Tariff Legislation a Men TRUSTS AN ENEMY TO SOUT WHAT WE MOST NEED IS AUCESS I Editor Constitution: Your recent I admirable editorial on the tariff in its relations to future party policy, must be my excuse, if iny be nceded, for this communication. We have heard miich of late about the elimination of the negro question .front Southern politics, and the conse quont upbuilding of a strong ilepubhli call party in tie Southern States, based, as the rumor runneth, on the further ance of our material interests-as though adhernce to Democratic prin. ciples woul retard our progress. Assuming for the sake of argument, and that only, that tle race issue is climinated, and that the Southern peo ple are now entirely free to pursue their "business" interests, they canl scarcely be expected to sacrifice thome Interests by adopting the economicI policies which, from beginming up to this (late, have characteri/ed tile Ite publican party. It is a serious mistake to suppose t that sentiment alone has controlled in I making the North Ilepublican and the South Democratic. Aside from war passion, Uow, happily, abated, the Ite publican party has always adoped ani economic policy that was die tiictly sectional and hostile to the South. Its I first task was the abolition of slavery, and no sooner was that: accomh)ished at fearful cost to the South, thani it hc- I ganl its high tariff policy, which was a less open, but equally effective, method of carrying on an economic C war against the South scarcely sur passed in material hardship by the 1te. publican pension policy under which r the South pays her proportion.te share I of $150,000,0G0 annually to the coi mon treasury, only to see it paid out 1 among beneficiaries residing mostly beyond her borders. Being in the mi- 1 nority, she could offer no successful re- I sis tance. Previous to the civil war the average i tariff rate varied from 5 per cent. in t 178.), to 20 per cent. in 1816; to 40 per i cent. in 1828 (known as tle "Tariff (if i Abominations"), to 2-1 I r cent. in c 1842, to 27 per cent. in 1817, and to 25 per cent. inl 1857. Then came the1ie,.ubibc ti noii T .1 1861, about 31 pr p t- i n1 ., .I 18; I (, about 47 per e i ., iof Is'.) it i 5i 5 per ceitt., aid lituti 1 iht- . 'in dey ta, ilf of 1897, estimated at about 57 per cCiim. This lIepubiean legidlation, espec ially inl its inception, was ltt, intended i to benefit the South. Had it borne equally upon all sections it Would have failed, in large par, of its purpose. It was framed by a hostile, sectional 1 party that took special care of its own i local interests at the 'expense of the d ninority section, though in later years v there has been an eagerness to enlist t recruits by sliteiing a few Southern L. products, which are certainly entitled t to equal favor in whatever discrimina tion is to be made now or in the fu ture. The Federal Congress, with its North, rn majority, will never pass a tariff bill in whose special privileges the South will he permitted to partici pate on equal terms with the North. Our beet hope lies ini cutting downVi the special privileges rathier than in trying to grab our share of the spo0ils. Whatever benefits . the South may have dlerived fromi the un iformity' clause o1 the conisitut ion in ieferenice to taxatioin, they were wholly di'spro portionate to the benelits received by thie North. T1his dlisadlvanitage-. was not, due to any fault or want of wis dom11 on the part of the generation of Southern people then in life, but to our social, linancial andl material eni vironment, created by forces operating before that genecration was born. 1t is important in this connection to bear in mind one of tile simp~lest and1( plainest, truths of political economy, nnely, that a tariff 0on impllorts is in effect a tax (on exports. Whether a given tariff ratec on imn paQrts prodluces an exactly equivalent b)urdeon on exports may be open to dloubt, but, that a tariff tax levied On goods cominig into a country lessens the exchangreable value of goods going out of the same country is not dleniedl, so far as I amii aware, b~y a single r'ep utable thinker or writer on the suib ject. Anly business man can make his own practical appllicationl of this truth. From that, t ruth it nlecessarily fol lows that, a tariff on imports falls with special severity oin those pairticuilar iin duistnrics wh ichl i furshi the experta given in exchange for the imports. What industries hlave borne this special buriiden? In :1820 agriculture furnished 81 pler cent. of our total exports, and with slight variations it still furmeihed in 1880 as high as 82.25 per cent. One of the mlost imtportanit itemls wals the South's great, conitributioni of lien raw cotton, which from the first, was es seintially an expourtedl prod)(ut., and1( which was greater in proportion than the exportedl pirouct of any otheir sc tion. 1t is easy, therefore, to lix the status of the cottonl grower as a burdlen-bear or under thle tariff. But in recent years we have turnedo to manufacturinlg our raw cotton, anid have already gone beCyond~ the capacity of the h~ome market. In 1900O our' ex ports of unmcolored cotton good~s, such as5 we generally make in the South, anaount ed to $3l,'229,443l. Of the same kind of cloth we im p~orted1 only 8:357,604, a mere bagatelle, showing inot only that our mills need no protection in this line, but that a BE REPUBLICANIZED. ice to Our Material Prosperity.

The Denoeratic tarty has always favored our access to be uarkets of the world. The ie atblicani tariff helps to shui1t those arkets against us. What has been said of cotton grouw ng and cottoln manufllacturingpl is rela ively trite of' Southern coal and pi'' ron, both of which have outNowii 1011le ConlSUIllptiol.
