PROTECTION TO AMERICAN
LABOR.

In the labor Congress, on TuesGs T.,
Mr.. Field offered the following, which
was referred to the committee on plat
form;
Whereas the price of American labor
is above the wages paid for labor in 9TH
er countries: and whereas the products
of the cheaper labor of foreign countries
when imported into the United States
compete with the productions of Amer
lean labor in our home markets, to the
manifest injury OF our workingmen,
thereby decreasing enterprise, industrial
independence and diversity of employ
ments, and tending to degrade our Ia
Dor and force down the wages of Amer
lean workingmen to theIevel of the i'll
paid millions of Europe; therefore be it
Resolved, That we demand such ad-
justment of the duties on al! commodi-
ties produced by the labor of foreign
countries as will adequately protect
American labor, and restrain the Excess
sive importation of commodities abroad
which we have the raw material, the
skill and the ability to produce In our
own country
We merely call the attention of our
Southern people to the fact that there is
where things are drifting all over tn.

means the better it will be for ourselves

PRESBYTERIAN REUNION.

~ , reports fromtthe Old and New
!. d Presbyteries leave no doubt
that the plan of union which was in
May agreed upon by the General As
semblies of tIs two bodies will be rati-
fed by an overwhelming majority of
the Presbyteries The desire for union
has grown irresistibly among both
clergy and people, and there is no
doubt that by the first of January, the
Old anG New School division will BE-
long to the history of the past, and the
reunited American Presbyterian Church
will, in point of membership, rank as
third among the Protestant bodies of
the United States The spirit which
has contaminated this union is already
at work in other Preaby terrain bodies to
extend the boundaries of the. united
Church. The Southern Presbyterians.
however, have not yet taken the subject
Of reunion with the Northern Church
in to favorable consideration; and from
present indications it will be some
time before they do; but time will
doubtless bring this union about as it
has others which at first looked equally
promising. -

gsa, The numerous stories that have
been circulated on the iron clad subject
were gotten up in the hope that the
Southern press would be thereby in
censed against the President and Cabi-
net, and be betrayed into impfudent
comments. Provided we are all circum-
spect and prudent, and proper efforts
are made oy judicous persons to guard
oar interests, we need not fear. Our
earnest admonition to the press is to be
prudent and mot give the enemies of

of events in Wall street that gold with
in the past few days has undergone
quite decline. The highest point
touched this year was 144B. Wednes-
day the price has yielded to 1921. In
-. words, when we sswere paying for
the goods which we imported from Eu-
rope in the spring gold was dearest
Now, when we are just about to begin
our cotton and grain shipments to Eu-
rope, gold is cheaper. The spectators
always manage to profit by these differ

the fact that we have had good har-
