The labor difference between
wages abroad and at home IS part
of the new song of the organs, and
it is doubtless quite attractive as a
song, for that is all it is. When
Carroll d. Wright, Commissioner
OF Statistics during Mr.. Harrison's
term, Investigated the subject off:~
tally, he found that the difference
in a ton of rails, from the ore to the
finished product, was 1913 a tou.
This Is the report of experts who
visited Europe and compared the
situation with that in this country,
and evea the organs do not qaes-
ton that report,
The Wilson bill imposes a %
per cent. duty, which at the pres
ent market price equals S. a ton,
and the So Is labor difference
which is $1.22 a ton lees, to say
nothing of So so a ton freight
charges to land foreign rails at New
York-shou!d be quite sufficient,
as it was al the r publican ma
tional platform called for last year.
That lie, ION all imports coming
into competition with the pro-
ducts Of American labor there
should be levied duties equal to
the difference between the wages
abroad and at home"
The piteons walls from those
who deal in pocket patriotism
deceive no one. The organs can
gain nothing BY misrepresentation.
The day for that has had its sunset.
The ust limit Of protection is more
than recognized in the Wilson bill,
and as in steel and iron so in all
other like products. The consumer
is about to cease paying enormous
tribute for the privilege of living.

BLESSED are the dead who die in The
Lord"
Mrs. Emma Parks Wood was born in
Wayne county, N. c., on July 81, 1858.
Was married to Mr., Jas, M, Wood, of
Ltnoir county, N. G.. on December 10th
1877. Was converted IN 1886: and
joined the M. E. church South, at
Thompson's Chapel, Died November
II, 1898. aged 35 years 2 months and 20
days. This is the story briefly tod,
hut Much more may be said, the only
difficulty being to know when to stop
in speaking of a character SO beauti-
fully developed. She was liberal. con-
servative, and true. The weary were
never tuned away empty, She was not
quick to accept a thing simply because
1t was new, To her friends, and
those who claimed ner love, she was de
votion Itself. The sick and afflicted
were her special care. The sorrowing
found consolation in her words. She
was industrious, frugalSand kind. The
Bible was her delight. She read alone,
and also with others, stopping occas-
~ionally to speak of the goodness and
wisdom of God.
1t was the privilege Of the writer to
visit her a few weeks before h.r death.
| Knowing as she then did that her end
was near, it was supposed she would
be sad and full of regret. Iastead she
was cheerful and happy; her only regret
being leaving her husband. In speak
Ing Of this she said: II am ready to
go whenever God calls; He knows
bt st, and will do all things well, but l
| do hate to leave JIM Such implicit
trust as che manifested in the Saviour
| was an inspiration to those who were
with her. She stuff red much, but
through all she murmured hot. For
several years her health had not been
good She was slowly but surely losing
physical strength until nth November
1910 a. m. when consumption has done
its work, and the devoted christians;
kind neighbor. and loving wife had
passed from labor to reward. In her
death the church lost a valuable member
the community a true and faithful
friend. and her husband a devoted wife.

Washington Notes.

WAsH1NGToN, Dec 31.-The
reasscmbling of Congress Wednes
day next will bring into active
play once miie all the schemes and
plans dormant during the holidays
bearing on the tariff. The struggle
is expected to begin in earnest on
the opening day, bat from all in
dications SO large a ma nity OF
Democrats will support the bill OF
the Ways and Means Committee,
that PARTY opposition is likely
either to be silenced or driven into
oblivion. 1t is believed to be Ger
tain, however, that a caucus will
be he'd. Whether it will take any
action is another question.
The general nnpopu,arity of the
sugar bounty and the dtficaity the
Ways and Means Committee have
experienced in determining the
character OF the income tax makes
it probable that these features of
the bill will be discussed in caucus,
but it is generally believed that the
customs schedules as arranged By
the committee will remain un-
changed.
Representative Wheeler, of Ala
bama, who has bcei most active
for a caucus, says a call will prob.
alb y be Issued on Wednesday. He
thinks there will be a thorough
discussion of the whole revenue
measure, but the important features
likely to be acted upon are the in-
come tax proposition aud the sugar
bounty.
Representative Holman, the
chairman of the caucus committee,
is in favor OF the N citing, but when
the request for the call was first
placed in his hands he suggested a
postponement until after the holi-
daye. Two weeks speut among
their C ,%ns'itnents would aid mems
bers, he thought, in making uE
their minds how to act and also al
low them an opportunity to explain
the d ficu,ties of revision.
Instead Of the bill becoming
weaker during the reces it is be-
lieved tc be stronger.
Representative Wheeler says
there will be imply an endeAvol
to ascertain the sentiment of the
.arty o. the few questions now in
dispute, Il is doubtful if the coal
and iron schedules viii even be
considered
Chairman Wilson is opposed to q
CAUCUS, because it is, he thinks, ut
terly impossible to evolve a Logical
measure in such a meeting. The
advocates of he scheme, however,
argue that, logical or net, tariff
measures receiving Caucus indorsee
ment are the only ones that have
passed the House Of Representatives
in recent years. The Southerz
members who wish a caucus gener'
ally favor a tax on the incomes Of
individuals. Should the committee
corclude to adopt their plan they
would probably be as anxious te
prevent q discussion of the matter
as they now are to obtain it.
