Duty ON Coal.

The Potsville Miners Journal states lha,
The Coal Mining Association held meeting
there last week, at the instance of one Of ,he
gentlemen who had been invited 10 yi,i Wash.
lngton, 10 confer with The Secretary of The
Treasury. They decided upon re ommending
specific duty of 81 95 per ton on coal-abou,
% per cent. less than The duty in the bill Of
1912, which was ST IS per ION. The Journal
says, "t the trade prefers moderate hu, ade.
qua'e duty Tor protection, with view of per.
manency' In preference TO high duties, which
are constantly liable to change. In The pres.
en' state Of The coal trade, with ample protec.
'ion TO those branches of industry into which
Inc consumption Of coal enters largely, the rare
recommended will be sufficien,-bu, il oueh,
not TO be lower. In the bill of 1876, the pres.
ent rate OF duty is about IS 10 70 cents per
ion." We are truly rejoiced 10 learn that per-
maneney Is beginning 10 be regarded as of
more value Than high duties. The articles of
coal and iron are peculiar, inasmuch as they
can be imported for ballast, and, therefore
revenue duly can never answer any purpose Of
sufficient projections; but, with duty of 81 25
per ION on coal, our en,erprisine GOLFERS of
Schuyikil county will soon be enabled 70 re.
srsciia'e their business. give permanency 10
their rates of wages, and enjoy prosperity
which changing Legislation has long prevented.
