The action of the Democratic caucus in opposing relief measures through tariff legislation was unwise politically and unsound economically. There is a silent and tremendous conflict now going on throughout the South between the political and economic influences on national tariff policies which will end with a complete rout of the free traders. The Southern Tariff Association considers the tariff an economic question. The South is in distress and our producers are suffering from freetrade competition with the pauper labor of all the world. The misfortunes of warstricken Europe are being visited upon us through channels of unrestricted commercial intercourse. Under these circumstances it is unfortunate that Southern Representatives should inject partisan politics into relief legislation.
