if has not been reduced. Protection is as
high and as beneficial as ever to labor.
With high protective tariff why should
we have low wages? When our industries

should our adult. full-grown mills and fac

act upon his application for q dissolution Of his
pastoral relations which was unanimously
agreed to. Brief tributes were paid to his mer-
its as an efficient minister and jealous Chris
tian by Rev. John A. Preston. Maj. Jed. Hotch-
kiss, and Rev. r. G. Walker. Mr.. Baker was
determined in his purpose to resign, as ID
shown by the following extract from letter OF
his to Rev. R. G. Walker who, at his request,
represented him in the Presbytery:
Il do not like to forestall the action Of Pres

take It for granted what that action will be;
that Presbytery will not attempt 10 force me
to continue my labors where difference OF
