Coal AND Iron OF ALLEGANY County. 1t Is
well known that companies have gone to heavy
expenses to make railways to the coal and iron
regions ofAllegany county, and that an inn
mense source of wealth has been anticipated
from them-but these expectations will be dis
appointed by the enactment of the British tariff
which is to 90 into operation on the first of De.
cember next, Coal will be imported from the
British provinces, and sold in our markets at a
less price than it can be furnished from mines
in our own State-and the same may BIZ said
of iron. These two businesses afford present
occupation to a large number of persons in Ma
ryland most of whom, we fear, will be thrown
out of employment by the act of Congress.

ceived from the Hon. John A. Rockwell, of
Connecticut, copy Of his speech on the bill to
reduce the duties on ports-delvered in the
House Of Representatives, June 90, 1916, 1t
is an able production, and adduces many facts
to prove the advantages Of the protective sys,
tenn to the various interests Of the country
But the voice of England was more potent than
the eloquence and facts Of MIR. Rockwell, and
hence the British tariff bill had to be passed
