has at al times endesvored to furnish to the
public an independent journal worthy of their
support, and If he has failed, the failure may
be attributed to the head and not to the heart

CoAL.-We understand that the mi.
ners at the various coal banks in this vicinity
are on . strike again. and that the supply Of
coal is consequently cut off, The difficulty
grows out of an effort to reduce the price VI

er places, to which the miners in this vicinity
refu.e to submit. The companies have been
paying Is cents per ton for aiming. Is cents
per bushel), wsile in all other parts Of Illinois
aud in Penn.ylvanis. Ohio and Kentucky. the
price rarely reaches SO cents per ton. Il cents
per bushell The companies proposed . re.
duction to so cents per ton, 10 which the mi
mere refused to submit. and immediately they
got together at the various banks and resol ed
not to work at less than Is and 80 cents per
ton, fixing the prices for the various banks &C.

miners can make from 81. 80 to sal per day
Our best mechanics are not aking that much
in these times, and We are glad to hear that
the coal companies have determined not t.
submit to the dictution of the minere, L
they continue to pay cents per bushel fol
mining. they mus: charge q larger price te
the consumer, and here the question IS really
between the miner aud the public. While W
wish to see labor properly remuneratsd W
dislike extortion. and We trust that our CO..
men Will stand firm and submit to no impo
s't'ons. they pay so per cent more fol
mining coal than is paid at other mines, the
community looses the advantage Of which VI
have 30 often bosstea. Of being in the imme

they will put down the price Of coal - low
- possible. for on that greatly depends on,
