Hi r..J In the struggle which has been wag
ing for months In the IIOUMJ nf repre
sentative for the Morrison taiilt bill ,
a great deal of missionary work has been di-
lected by the tariff reformers to the south.
When they Hist began their canva s they
were amazed at the gtowth ol protection
they found throughout the south , where , n
few jears ago , they encountered only free
traders thuv mot with enthusiastic tariff pro
tectionists. Immediate ! ) they began to In-

Ing this piotectlvolews ot the now south ,
a'lil Im Is iioin onuof the most i.ipldly giovv-
Ing manufactuilngstatiM In thecountiy. The
iriowthof the iron and coal mines ol Ala
bama , under otti tariff laws , has been won-
( leifill duihig the past four or ll\o vcars , and
Its advance dm Ing the coming ilccadu are
destined to be mom astounding.
"I have been uiged , " said Mr. Maitlu , who
Is a highly cultivated and pioinesslvo states
man , "not to withhold inv suppoit fiom the
Morilsoii taillT bill , but 1 feel constrained to
do so. It Is In ellcct a proposition to the Ala
bama mining and mamifactuilng Industries
to discontinue winking their plants , to dis
charge tlieli euiplojes , and to what end1/
bolnly lor thobeggailycouslileiatlonof being
able to buy more with a ponnj in a cheaper
maiket. Kieo liniiDei , fieotisn , fiee salt , neo

not prejudice the Interests of Alabama , while
thelattei would deal a death blow to the glowIng -
Ing mining and mauutiictming Interests of
iuj state. It would put an end to herrc-
sointes , and stop , Imlelinltely , the further
progress of our people in mining and manu
facturing. Among the stricken Industries of
the proposed fieo list of tlio taiilt bill ot the
coming nftieth congress I think I see Iron ,
coal and biigar taking their placns. Wo
should remember this , that a false principle ,
once delibcratcld established by rf political
paity , will govein tutuio action until con-
demiied by the judgment of the people , ex
pressed at the polls.
" \VehadanexpeiIencoof that kind when
General Hancock met defeat upon n platform
which announced the false doctiiue that a
taiitf for revenue only.'continued Mr. Mar
tin.Vo exiiurgod it fiom ourplatfoim of
piiiiclples. and In Its place inseited the good ,
old , sound and wholesome principle which
placed Mi. Cleveland In the piusidentlal
clialr , "
" I hen you leganl the tarllt as a local issue ,
and believe local ns well as gciioiul Intelests
should bo coiiHldeicd in funning laws upon
the subject ? " I suggested.
"Certainly , " leplled Mr. Maitin ; "and
( leneml Hancock never spoke a more pro
nounced tiuelsm when ho said tarllT iba local
ijuestlon. I love to sec Alabama in her re
cent development of her coal and lion Inter
ests springing , us itweio , Into newness ol
life. A gi eat city , tor the south , has sprang
up suddenlv and Is growing so lapidly that
wo know of no parallel Instance ol It in the
history of the south. Capital has come to us ;
loimsof industiles unknown to our people
h.uo taken the pl.ice of unproductive nirrl-
cult me , and Alaoama Is about'to share in the
benefits aiisiug liora niolccllnc the Amcii-
tan laboiei. To mv mind it is evident that
II the policy of the Morilson bill be tollovved
out to its logical sequence It must result in
one of two things elthct absolute fiee trade
01 the abandonment of intentional incidental
piutection and in a taiilt for icvcnuooiily.
r.ltbei ono Is a cleat abandonment of demo
cratic doctilno as set toith In out platfoim ,
and would bo a betraval ot the confidence le-
pubed in us by the labiuIng men of America.
1 would like to know if any man hcio would
liavo the haidlhood to say tliat this measure
Is not n violation of that solemn dcclaiation
