I l'or Instance, In 1801, the totitf value of I tiiir wheat and wheat tlour exoit wall (100,U,88H, and we tent abroad for sugar (105,728,210. In other wotds, It look nearly all our wheat exports to cancel om liidt-hteduofta lor sugar, when we can just as well produce'our supply at home. What It MeansJ We sent neatly seven times as mueh j to Kurope for sugar as we expoitci! "i ' emu value. Our foreign sugar cost ua , iicaiilyono eight of out Mar expruU, j nud within twenty-nine rilllljns of a' much of our total expoiti of b$e' bpgs ' nnd dairy products, S Weexorled of cotton (20b,7tJ,9Jl, which was leas, than three Jltnci the cost to ui'ol tor'oluu eugar.

It ia 6iilllolenraio know now that we have passeil the expcihuen- d In the production of sugar. We knew now that wo hnve .lie en II, the rlliiinte, the ntpllnl, tliedUHjsltloiii the energy and the hUIII to make out own sugnr.aud nothing will prevent its success succ-ess except adverse (r distinctive Itgiflat'on. It can bo truthfully said, however, Hint II theie Is one obstacle more tlmn another that ntauds in tho road tothecomptcto triumph n( tho beet sugar Industry in fie United Htatcs, It Is the pessimist, who starts nut with the patrotie assertion that "all lorms of prodituHod that will afford profitable employment for labor and capltnlshould reeieve nctlvo and efficient encouragement," encourage-ment," nnd then proceeds in three or more columns to Hut work ol trying to demonstrate Hist wo cannot liopo to make beet proiluction a success here Ik cause ol the poorer paid labor clement abroad. And yet upon that, nnd that nloi.e, Ion very great extent, has our ireat American policy ol protection for dome Industrie sucrestfully rested. Eliminate that, strike down the protection which sugar has always had which il has now, here nnd abroad, and the conclusion nrilved nt by Mr. Davis h brobaly correct. Is 1 1 Wise? Tho real question involved Is, Ia It wlse.underexlstinconditloii, to send over one hundred millions abroad lor augar annually? At the Inception Ol the Costitulloii the fathers of the Republic onsldcred it pitldent and the purt ol a is Join to protect homo industry in order to keep our money or its equivalent at homeland to render us as a nation independent ol the world lor the great necessaries ot life, as well as lor ni tides for national defense. That policy nail no opponents until tlie bouth thought slio discovered that the effect of that policy was not her selfish Intrest and thereafter, vvlton tho tariff had drifted luto poliliccs, the old McDuffie nullification policy ol a tariff for revenue only was made to do duty for polillcr.l demagogues, regardlfssottheiinportance of tho Knitters to whlchitwas applied, and obllvlousoftlieeffectou thonnllonal welfare. Cotton, tobacco, rice, Indigo and sugnr,tho great agrlcultttcal staples ol the South, were always highly protected, pro-tected, and by that means the South was enriched. The theory that the North lias recloved the full and entire benefit ot this great policy that appeals to tho agricultural intrest nnd to labor with such force, Is a great'mlstake. The South has had her full share. In the very flint tariff net that was enacted under the Constitution, cotton recieetl threo cents per poqqd protection, ; and results proved its wisdom , It needs somo now against glowing intpoita front I'gypt and l'eru. And yet, cotton was a new, not an established Industry. It had not gained as much ol a footing as beet sugar has in our day. Cotton grow ing lu fact had hardly been entered upon. up-on. It was regarded as purely experimental, exper-imental, and it was not even a manufactured manuf-actured product, and yet ConitrekS. In 1789, gave it three cents protection and fostered it down to 8r!7.
