MARSHALL, Aug. I-[Editor HER
AID Your articles on more money
for the South are read with much in
terest aud pleasure. There is no sub
ject of more vital Importance 10 the
South than that of more money 70
lend. This subject is also OF great i'm
portance TO the North and East. To
illustrates: We are told that capitalists
in New York frequently lock
up their money and leave
as mush IS per cent. per auIum
interest At the same time, it Is an
easy matter to Joan all the money in
the South, in sums of 500 to 5000 at
II per cent. From August to January
the banks will not Dan money to the
most responsible men, with ample Sc
Guilty, and the would-be borrower Is
met with the reply TO his request: "It
will require all our money to move the
cotton"
Northern capitalists readily invest
their money in railroads throughout
the Southern States; and, DOUBT
less would e0tablish new banks, with
large capital, il they had not been
hoodwinked into the belief that they
would have no security for their In
only necessary to refer to the infre-
qusncy OF bank failures ia the South.
The papers of the South, and those
friendly to us, can fnd no subject OF
more importance to every Southern
State than that OF increased banking
facilities, and it is to be hoped that
they will unite with The dERALD in
it's endeavors to secure this deeply-felt
want. BUSINESS.

Tho knights Of Labor Protest.

Fort WoETu, Aug. 2S.-lEditor
HERALD. I'm a recent issue OF the
Fort Worth Democrat appeared an ar
ticle setting forth that the Gould rail-
way system had made formal an
nouncement through its ticket agent,
Of this city, that it will "sive planters
q rate OF / cent per milo on parties of
MeXicans, numbering tivo or more,
travelling from Laredo to any point on
ITS Inca" The Knights of Labor of
this city desire 20 eutsr tbs their in
dignant protest against the attempt
on the part of tbis monopoly TO Hood
our state with this bslf-civilized and
degraded labor. There are to. day hun
dreds OF American mechanics and Ia
borers of all classes now in Mexico,
lured there by false representations
and unkept promises, who would
gladly avail themselves of this reduc-
ton 10 return to their homes. There
are thousands of unemployed men 10
this State who could be easily utilized
if necessary, 10 save our abundant
CROPS. Then why this discrimination
in favor of this class alone? We claim
1t is but y scheme to flood the State
with this class of labor, under tho pre-
tex that IL is for the special benefit of
the farmer, but IN reality that they
may be kept on hand to replace intel
ligent white labor whenever this
MONOPOLY may sec fit to do so. In
this belief we call upon our fellow
knights, and sll Others who have the
interests OF the waGe-workers at heart.
and especially those along the line Of
the Gould railway system, to, in every
way, discourage and discoun--
.fA la fN nd
this wholesale importation of
class to which tho Chinese are in
every way superior.
There is law prohibiting the I'M
portotion of foreign labor undor con-
tract, and the Gould railway system
takes this way in order to be on the
safe side. THE COMMITTEE,
