TO PROTECT AMERICAN LABOR,
SENATORA T.. ID. SMITH MAKES
STRONG SPEECH IN TARIFF
DEBATE.
Shows Where Republican Plea for
Protection of American Labor Is
Fake-Attracts Much Attention.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator e.
d. Smith of South Carolina today
made what was pronounced by many
senators to be one of the strongest
during this session Of congress. The
cotton schedule was under considera-
ton and Senator Smith made a plea
for the American laborer against the
immigrant laborer.
He took up the claim Of the manu-
facturers OF New England that they
need protection for the benefit of the
American labOrer, and showed by the
reports of the immigration commits
sion that 6S per cent of the employees
in New England cotton mills are for
eign born, while 20 per cent are ma
tive born of foreign parents and only
"a per cent are native born of ma
tive parents. His argument was that
the manufacturers after getting high
tariff duties under the guise of bene-
fitting American labor, had imported
cheap immigrant labor and had sup
planted American labor. He also un-
dertook to show that there had been a
great decrease in the cost of prOduc-
ton, by reason Of improved machin-
cry, but the wages of the operatives
had not increased in proportion. He
denounced the plea for protection
for the benefit of American labor as
a delusion and a snare, not warrant
ed by any facts, and went on to show
that, of course, the wages paid the
native cotton mill labor in the South
was largely governed by the wages
paid the cheap immigrant labor in
the mills Of New England.
Senator Smiths speech attracted
much attention as he used a line oe
argument that had not been heard
before during this session.
His argument was made more forci-
BILE by reason of the fact that the re
port of the immigration commission,
from which he quoted, was made by
two Republican Senators from New
| England, Senator Lodge Of Massa-
chusetts and Senator Dillingham; of
Vermont. He was interrupted by Sen
| atbrs SmoOt of Utah, Gallinger of
New Hampshire, Lippit of Rhode Is
land, and others, but they were not
able to shake the force Of his argu-
ments. He was warmly cOngratu-
lated by senator's on both sides of the
chamber on having advanced some
new and telling arguments on the
tariff question as it applies to Amer
| lean labor.

Lind and Gamboa Exchanging Notes
ON Relationship OF Countries.

Mexico City, Aug. 26.-President
Wilson's personal representative, John
Lind, and FREDERICK Gamboa, Mexican
minister Of foreign affairs, again are
exchanging notes on the subject of the
relations between the respective gov
ernments. notwithstanding MIR. Lind
already has left the capital.
Senior Gamboas' note, which he says
Is In reply to one he received from the
American envoy, was sent to Mr.. Lind
at Vera Cruz tonight. The Mexican
foreign minister Is reticent as to the
character of the exchanges. but unof
ficially 1t Is said they will not alter
the situation. Senior Gamboa was told
that the officials at Washington ap
peared to believe that Mr.. Llnd's re
turn to the Mexican capital was not
improbable. The following statement
was issued at the foreign Office to.
night:
In order to calm the natural anx-
iety Of the public. occasioned by the
negotiations which have been carried
on with Mr.. Lind. the confidential
agent Of President Wilson. Senior
Gamboa declares that up to the pres
ent there Is no reason for alarm. IL
the president Of the United States
considers 1t opportune to submit TO
congress the status of the negotia-
lions, then Mexico Is relieved from the
tacit agreement not to give premature
publicity, and will hasten then, and
only then. to make public in their
entirety all the documents which have
been received or which may be re-
ceived at that date.
THE situation is far from being
desperate. 1t can only be called Sc
rious' and for this reason 1t Is de.
sirable that the public should be
discreet and reserved; since this is
the best manner in which they can
aid the government"

New York, Aug. 25.-The cotton
market was active and excited today,
with prices making new high ground
for the movement on general buying
which reflected increasing apprehen-
sion of an unfavorable new crop out
turn. There was heavy realizing on
the advance and some Of the old bull

profits on fully $50, 900 bales, but fresh
buying for long account and further
covering prevented anything more
than slight reactions and the market
closed very steady at a net gain Of

ing caused slight reactions from this
level. but the report of q prominent

There also was an active demand
