CoAL.-The collapse consequent upon the
sudden close of the war, and the strikes of the
operatives, have produced decline in the
Pennsylvania product for the unexpired por-
ton of the year of 1,330,000 tons. The in
creased demand for maritime and manufactur
ing purposes has therefore found the markets
comparatively bare of coal, and as, in all other
products, it will require time to bring up the
supply to the enlarged wants of the markets,
prices in the meantime remain high The re-
suit of this has been rise in coal Of 5a12 per
cent. within the last thirty days. Pennsylvania

SENATOR SHERMAN On TIE TARIFF.-Senator
Sherman spoke at Springfield, Ohio, last week,
when he expressed himself on the subject OF
tariff and taxation as follows: He believed it
unwise and unfair to remove the duty from i'm
ported paper while the home manufacturers
had to pay a tax equal to ten per cent. on
what they made. The revenue from imported
paper amounted to three or four millions OF
gold per annum, and the Senate thought the
country could not afford to lose this sum-
The Committee on Finance were unanimously
Of this opinion. \ tax on paper is generally
unwise. 1t is tax on knowledge, and except
under extraordinary circumstances should not
be imposed. Mr.. Sherman believed that the
next Congress might find it eXpedent not to
remove the duty from imported paper, but to
lessen the internal tax Oh the homo made ar
ticle. The financial condition Of the country
was getting to be such that this might be done.
The stamp duty, he thought, would be the first
to be repealed next winter. after it the tax ON
iron, then the tax on paper.

Chicago or the people will never enjoy equal

those of points whore competing lines exist.
This company has its arms stretched over
most of the northwest, and in aaany places it
has sharp competition. For instance: On
the st. Louis line it has competition and as 3
natural consequence the company exhibits
some energy and enterprise there. If the
line is out of order it is instantly repaired
and, there being competition, its tariff of pri-
ces is reduced to the lowest figure. and it is
compelled to keep first class operators. But
between this point and Chicago it has no conn
petition, and, of course, the line is poor, no
energy is exhibited in keeping it IN repair,
the tariff of prices is Highland the Offices are
used as training school for other places.
