In commenting on an editorial para
! graph that appeared in the MORNING
/ NEWS the other day, citing the attention
OF The protection organs in Georgia 10 the
! fact that every Georgia Congressman was
| found aligned with Mr.. Morrison and
| against Messrs. Kelly and Randall, the
Columbus Enqnirer-Sun reprints some
testimony which may well be kept before
the people. 1t is thatof President Young,
OF the Eagle and Phoenix Mills, Of
Columbus, and Presidents Estes and
Phinizy, of the Augusta factories,
and was given under oath before
the Congressional Labor Committee,
OF which Senator Blair was chairman.
Mr.. Young had studied the questions OF
labor and tariff in all their varied phases,
and he had come to the conclusion that
so far as Southern cotton mills were con.
cerned, protection was unnecessary; be-
sides, he said, be was, on principle, OPP
posed to taxing the many for the benefit
of the few. He believed his mills were
able TO compete with those of England
as well as with those of New England.
He had travelled in Europe, aud found
practically little difference in the wages
paid there and here, Notwithstanding
the assertions OF the prOtectionists
to the contrary. For skilled labor he said
he paid more than was paid in Europe,
but that was more than cOunterbalanced
by two great advantages he had over New
England and foreign mills-he bought his
cotton at an average of 81 30 per bale
al, 81 o. l.
a better opportunity to make choice OF
grades. While the Presidents of the Au
gusta mills said they were willing to take
all the benefits they might derive from
protection, they did not ask for it.
There is reason to believe. as we have
heretofore shown. that there is no South
ern manufacturing industry that would
De injured by gradual reduction OF the
present war tariff to revenue basis, and
that no Southern workingman would sui
fer by such reduction. The question of
pig iron has been thoroughly discussed,
and the erroneous claims the protection
papers as to the actual cost OF producing
it fully exposed. These organs of special
interests have been driven from every
tangible position they have occupied, and
now only fall back on the senseless cry
that the Democrats are trying to destroy
American industries ana impoverish
American labor.
Georgia is practically solid on this
great question. The people are faithfully
represented by their Congressman, and
our esteemed contemporaries are only
stultifying themselves when they attempt
to convince themselves, or anyone else,
that there is any considerable proportion
of the people of Georgia who believe in
the Republican doctrine of robbing the
masses by means of the war tariff for the
benefit of about 10000 millionaire manu-
facturers

From the Columbus DisDdtch.

Those problems deep of Church and State
Which stump the rest OF us.
With modest hens and humble haws,
The orator proceeds
To tell us how to change our laws,
And how to mend our creeds.
In tones OF thunder he declares
The hour Is now at hand
When Rum coming unawares,
Hangs threat'ning DER the land.
And then he paints in lurid hues,
Our fast approaching doom;
No time he gives To pay our dues,
Or pray, or choose tomb.

What the Organs Saw.

What the organs OF Gen. Gordon and
Maj. Bacon say about the result OF Satur-
days primaries and mass meetings is
rather interesting.
The Macon Telegraph, which supports
Major Bacon, says:
The result is apt to be discouragng 20
Mr.. BacOn's friends. but the fight is not
necessarily lost. About sixty counties
are yet TO act aud a vigorous campaign
may yet redeem the State. 1t takes 17G

The Augusta Chronicle, which supports
Mai. Bacon, says:
one Of the two candidates will be nom.
mated by The Democratic Convention on
July -. aud the candidate VINO Is nomi-

ports gen. Gordon. says;

A Prayer Boy colt on the President.


1t has always been the custom in some OF
the churches in Washington which have no
prayer-b book formula for that purpose TO offer
up a PRAYER every Sunday in behalf of the
Chief Executive of the nation and his adj
vIsers. There is one church in the northern
section whose spiritual head has abandoned
this practice. 1t seems that one of the e ders
and pillar OF the church has for years enjoy
ed an easy government berth He is said to
have been good CLERK, and therefore
felt that he was reasonably safe,
though his political sentiments were hardly
in keeping with those of the present adj
mnistratIon. However, he found on his desk
one day a coldlv worded Official letter notify
ing him that his valuable services could be
offered where they would be more apprecI-
ated than In the government departments.
The elder became angry and his church is in
strong sympathy with him. The minister, to
S ow his displeasure with au administration
which allowed the iightni ng to strike favor
lite member OF his fold, Immediately ceased to
send up his praye to Heaven for its welfare,
and, moreover, INDUCES IN some free critl-
cism of the President in nearly every sermon
he breaches.

DR.. Haygood, in his address at Emory
College, said that ''the public school sys-
tenn must be developed" The Doctor is
right. There is nothing Of which Georgia
stands in greater need than more and bet
ter common schools.
The school system of Georgia is, per-
haps, equal to that of any other Southern
State. but we ought not to be satisfied
with that condition of affairs. The effort
should be to make our sy stem better than
that of any other Southern State. Other
States would follow Georgia's lead, and
in comparatively few years the COM
mon schools of the Southern States might
compare favorably with those OF the New
England States.
In all the Southern States the schools
are heavy burden. AS a rule,
the people are poor, and the
negroes, who furnish so large a
percentage of the school children, con-
tribute very little to the support OF
them. More, however, can be done for
the increase OF educational facilities by
means Of the common schools than is be-
ing done. In some communities there is
an entire lack of appreciation of the bene-
fits OF education, and in others there is an
Indifference about educational matters
that is difficult to understand. There are
so many Of these communities that they
exercise a controlling influence in the
Legislature. Their representatives re-
fleet their sentiments, and II is about inn
possible to secure any legislation for the
advancement of the common schools.
The pulpit and the press could do much
to reVolutionize public opinion in these
communities with respect to education.
The ministers of the gospel and the news
papers have it in their power to create a
desire for more and better schools where,
at the present time, the advocates of bet
ter educational facilities are scarcely toll
Grated.
DR.. Haygood in his address said that
those who, at the present time, are chiefly
instrumental in creating a feeling against
the common schools are the small politi-
clans and some very good church people.
The small politicians are, with few excep-
tons, demagogues, and they understand
that their success depends largely upon
keeping the people ignorant. AS the peo-
pie become intelligent the occupation of
the demagogues disappears. Good church
people antagOnize the public schools be-
cause they are not denomInatiOnal schools,
or because there are no religious features
connected with them. They want the
oh riches to manage the schools. They
refuse to understand that if the State
furnishes the money it must manage the
schools. Take schools from the control
of the State and the masses would soon be
without education.
The common school system Is the best
that has ever been provided for educating
the masses. 1t is admitted that the sue
cess of our form of government depends
upon the intelligence of the people. No
effort should be spared, therefore, to de-
yelop the common school system. The
people in every county should continually
strive to secure more and better school
houses, better teachers and TO keep the
schools open for a longer period each
year.

The New York Tribune says that the
iron furnaces of the country were pro-
ducing more iron on June l than at any
other time in the history of the country.
There were 30S furnaces in blast, pro-
ducing weekly 1870 tons. OF the ag-
gregate output, 4,750 tons were of
bitumnous or coke iron, 30, 1876 tons of
anthracite or anthracite mixed with coke.
and 1854 tons of charcoal iron. The in
crease in capacity Of furnaces in blast
during the month was about $500 tons,
and since January l, 22,7l9 tons. or about
% per cent, most remarkable change.
During the past year the increase in out
put of anthracite furnaces has been
nearly 80 per cent, and in bituminOus
furnaces about 70 per cent. 1t is much
to be regretted that the iron interest does
not yet enjoy the advantage of a correct
and reliable statement of stocks on hand
monthly, which would be of invaluable
service at times in guiding the operations
of producers. Thus far, though the in
crease in stocks must have been rela.
lively large, the actual quantity on hand
does not appear to have become so great
that prices have been materially affected.
though there are come indications of
weakness in the Philadelphia market.
where Southern iron is offered freely at
prices below that Of Pennsylvania fur
naces.
