Our readers are aware that tlic Protectionists at the North and South, are constantly declaring, in-their journals ana speeches, that protection greatly favors the laborers, giving them much larger nay than they got under low tar iffs and, free trade. They make these statements but never prove them. England is a free trade country. France, Austria, Rus sia, and Germany praotice the policy of protection. We present below a schedule of prices paid the English and German laborers. If the statement is not true let our Georgia protectionists show iti We appeal to their candor to $aj\ whether it» ftyr for them to continue the statements they have made to their readers, or to their acquaintances, in private or pub lic intercourse. This is a ques tion which greatly concerns the people, it is a question which mostly divides them, at present, in their political associations; the people want to obtain the truth about it, particularly, so far as it affects their interests and if there is an array of blunders on the sub ject, attaching to either part, they want to know the truth whether it affects the Democratic or Repub lican Party; and we say now, in all candor, if the Republican par ty is the party of the. people, of justice, of superior merit, of the better principles for their safety and happiness, and the protection of their rights and the mainten ance of tho great cardinal princi ples established by ,our revolu tionary fathers, it is the party that ought to obtain the reins of power in 1888. As we see the movements of parties, we have no idea that we shall ever behold tho Republicans, as this ineom- ^Bfikirs 1 , .7-. $6.50 Blacksmiths, 8.12 of our great republic. But we are wandering from the immediate subject before us. Here is the table of wages to which we call the attention of our readers, and especially, the atten tion of our protective tariff friends in Georgia. It puts their declar ations in an unfavorable light, and we put them on the stand for re- futfttioiLpr. ruin. v - Great Britain Free. Bookbinders,.

Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, July 11, 1887. Editor Union-Rkcordkr: To show the vanity of all the speculation as to the successor of the late Justice Woods, it is only necessary to mention the fact that as the new Justice can not take his seat on the Bench until he is confirmed by the United States Senate, so then it is not at all probable that the ap pointment will be made before Congress meets in December, for as the old saying goes, the Presi dent does not believe “in crossing a bridge till he gets to it.” The President’s abandonment of his proposed visit to St. Louis, is a thqme of absorbing interest and discussion, and volumes pro and con, have been written and spoken about it. The President’s action has - had two opposite ef fects with Grand Army men; one faction plumes itself in having re pulsed the President, while the other reluctantly yields him re spect and admiration for his res olute moral courage, which so far, has been equal to every re quirement throughout his illustri ous career. The next day after the appearance of President Cleveland’s letter withdrawing his acceptance of his St. Louis visit, 150 members of General Lander post Grand Army of the Repub lic, of Lynn, Mass., called upon tho President, gave him three ringing cheers and were warmly welcomed to the White House by a patriotic speech from the Prosi- ident. 7, ” u Under the authority of Con gress, Senator Cockrell is draw ing to a close his investigation of the methods of 'Conducting the business of the various Depart ments and it is hoped that if no other beneficial result is secured, provision at least will be made for the settlement of tho accounts of disbursing officials before grim death cheats the penitentiary. The colored people of the South are coming forward as complainants before the Inter- State Commission in a renewed effort to secure ttyeir so : called “civil rights” by forcing them selves to ride in “do same cyar wid de white folks.”.’ I think it would be well to dttb thb Com mission, “The Grand HigL Court of Complaints,” as scarcely a day passes without every conceivable sort of protect and petition be ing gravely pretented for their consideration. Despite the great clamor raised by the railroads against tho alleged ingenious ef fects of the Inter State act, it would be well to noto the signifi cant fact that the net earnings of the principal roads for tho month of June, 1887, is greatly in ex cess of tlie sum earned during the same period last year.

Many vis itors from all over the State flock to our ei’.y. The exercises are numer ous and well attended. The enter tainments given during this period are especially attractive and they are always enjoyed. Last week we gave a list of the visitors in our midst who had arrived to enjoy the gayeties of the season. Since theiva great many have joined this number, and every thing is most propitious for a delight ful commencement. We give below a list of the visitors who have already reached our city, as well as those who are expected.” Then follows a long iist of visitors from many portions of the State, la dies and gentlemen, who take a deep interest in the proceedings and pros perity of the State University and the social gatherings and entertain ments which have taken place. We cannot publish fhfe statements in full, but taker pleasure in tefeiring to them as evidence of the University and ed ChanfcellHr and I qualifications and devotion to the great cause of education .have con ferred such blessingsjupon our beloved State. We prefer to let the Athens’ pa pers tell, in great part. the story of the triumphs of its University and the refined sentiments and social ele gance of the people of the classic city.

In the language of the Banner- Watchman, “Planting of Hopes and Songs of Prophecy and Praise of ’87:”- Yesterday afternoon faf the 9tb) the literary features of commencement were ushered in by the class-tree ex ercises under the college oak in the campus.

After being con fronted with the evidences of hia crime, the wretched man broke down and confessed all.

Morris, a young lawyer of Athens, greatly esteemed for hit* so cial traits and talents. He is tjie eld est son of Prof. Charles Morris There was much anxiety to hear his address. The subject was “To the Greek fool ishness.” He briefly reviewed Greek civilization, and to readers of Greek history, it was done in a style and truthfulness of great power and beau ty. The young orator was a master of tbe subject, and his delinations of Greek philosophy wotild have done credit to the ripest scholars in the in tellectual schools. The young prator showed deep thought and original power that made a profound Impres sion upon hi# hearers. We.are pWa- ed to see it stated that fils eloquent and classical address will be printed. It is worthy of preservation in a sub stantial form. THE JUNIOR SPEAKERS." In the afternoon of the 12th,. .exhi bition of the Junior clAss took place. It was well received by the J crowded oratory.

Milner, of Birmingham, read a very amusing and edifying class his tory, shot through with humor, and supplemented with stray bits of rem iniscence. The class poem of Glen Waters, of Atlanta, was a model of its kind. The poet is one of the most gifted and versatile of the graduates, and is said to have animated the prints of the pandora with more than one good hit. The class prophecy by Robt. L. Foreman, of Washington, was an inspiring view of the future, and a good illustration of the saying that it is the impossible which hap pens and dominates events. The ver dict after Mr. Foreman’s seer-like se cret was read, was unanimously, “Who’d a thought it.” The singing of the class song, and the smoking of the great calumet concluded the evening. These enter tainments are by far, the most ori£i : ^al and unique of the commence ment. We wish they occurred later in the week. COMMENCEMENT SUNDAY.

The first medal was awarded to Mr. A. (J. Wilcoxon of Newnan, and the second to Mr. T. R. R. Cobb of Ath ens. DR. mkll’s resignation. The University Chancellor writes a letter which the Trustees induce him to withdraw. Yesterday morning quite a sensa tion was created on the campus when it was heard that Chancellor P. H. Mell had tendered his resignation to the Board of Trustees. There were a number of conflicting reports, and in- liry developed the fact that Doctor ell had actually written such a let ter, which had been read before tho Board. That body were greatly sur prised and viewed the very mention of such a course on the part of Dr, Mell, with great regret. They prompt ly appointed a committee, consisting of Hon.’N. J. Hammond and Hon.' H. D. McDaniel, to confer with Dr..Mell, and ask him to withdraw lfis. letter. The committee at 2 o’clock returned to the Board and reported as fdllhWS: “We believe that .the (resignation- of Chancellor Mell was tepderecj by him under a misunderstanding, to wit: That the action o 1 the Board on yesterday as to duelling was a con demnation of his course as to the late of actual orgafiteatfon of the college would be 1891,’ttnd asking a commit-* tee to i raise $60,U00 to eudew a chair of physiology, and hygiene and phys ical cultdro. TIi Ih resolution was warmly supported by Dr. Newton and Col. B. C.i Yancoy. None of the ap propriations should bo available pntii $80,000 were raised. Thfs was indvefl by Maj. J. J. Gresliam who said ho onld (Ubacribg. $1,000. Messrs. [arry Jackson and Henry each pledged ak much, to be called the Centennial Profes sorsbip of Physloal culture. Gov. Gordon who was present was eallecb on and made briefly his acknowledge ments. • * ' A good story was told us by Judge W. M. Weaver, of Greensboro, illus trative of the strict construction chil dren some .times put upon remarks from the pulpit. The judge's little grand-danghter, Margie Burke, re cently received a large doll as a pres ent. She was delighted with the gife And napied the doll “Genie” after the donor.! Measles broke out in the com munity and the little one said her Ge nie had the measles too. On the Sab bath the little one went with hpr uncle to church, tbe two taklpg a seat directly in front of and near to the pulpit. The preacher warmed to his thenietAnd epoko/with much earn* ■» estness. At last pointing with.his ihr« amt dex finger, and.lookrng straight to wards the little' girl he asked ini- 1 ' 1 ' ■ pressively, “Jdow stands it with you' « and Jesus?” Qpjck as thought she answered In a clear " -voice heard throughout the hDuse, “I’m very well, I thank you, but Genie’s got tiie measles!” *♦* There is a growing feeling in Sa vannah to have the prohibition ques tion tested in Chatham county. Sa vannah is commonly regarded as the Gibraltar *of Anti-PrOhibition--much stronger than even Macon, Augusta, Columbus or Griffin. One reason of this is said to be, that the clergy, and high-toned moral men and women of Savannah are opposed to all kinds of electioneering to curry any election, however good’ the cause may be, and this leaves tiie field open to their op ponents. The course of Spies and bis Anar chist crowd in this country, is the best possible argument the Czar of Russia could ask to sustain his treat ment of the same element in his terri tory; for, says he, or could say, these men have all the liberty any citizen could ask in the United States, and yet they are restless and revolu tionary. Am I to blame them, for holding a strong hand over them in Russia? These American anarchists are forging new and stronger chains for their sympathizers in Europo every day. But what do they eare for hu manity? A Fortunate Brakeman Once of Soranton, Pa. Mr. Frank Corcoran, in the employ of the 111. Central R..R., in this city, was interviewed.
