The same reasons that New England had for calling for a high protective tariff againstold England would exist in the South if we extensively entered into manufactures now. They have acquired experience. they have acquired wealth. they have accumulated a vast amount of capital. and new beginners can not compete without a protective tariff that they have talked so much about. Fortunately for them the Constitution of the United States prevents any legislation of that sort on the part of the States. so that if we should abandon our fields and go to manufacturing we should be much more at the mercy of the New England paupersas we should then have the right to term them paupers. as they now term everybody else--we should be much more at the mercy of New England paupers than the people of New England now are at the mercy of the foreign paupers. No man need undertake to lecture me or to teach me the advantages of manufactures to a country. I should be insane to undertake to deny not only the advantage in the accumulation of wealth. but the actual necessity for the civilization of the world of manufactures.
