That is a somewhat one-sided proposition
| Again, IL declares to the operators that they
shall employ no workmen except such as be-
| long to the Union, nor exchange q man ex-
cept by its consent.
There were but two companies, the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company and the Wilkes
barre Coal and Iron Company, that submitted
| TO the basis. They have been working all
summer, and, of course, with great profit
| as the other companies refused to submit and
lay idle. As soon, however, as they shall have
| become strong enough to resist the basis,
their interest also will be to control their own
affairs, in which case new and worse trouble
may come.
The consequence of this protracted conflict
is that the public suffers and probably will
continue TO suffer-several millions of people
for few thousands. On the one hand. we
observe the enormous cost of production by
the basis system, on the other hand the LARGE
advances now made to the strikers over the
spring wages. People have been holding
back everywhere from buying coal: never.
theless, with the first days of autumn already
here, they will soon he forced to lay in the
winters stock But the great mines have
long been idle, and the rate of production
needful to supply The winters demand is, of
course very far in arrears. The conse-
quence is that a cold snap may bring the fact
to the public mind that coal is needed and
that coal will probably be even higher yet
before midwinter. After the first of January
only may we hope for an important decline.
And for this fine state of affairs, present
and prospective, in a commodity as i'm
portant as bread itself, we may thank the
miners.
There has been a general desire, in this ex-
igency. TO take the duties from foreign coal
This ought to be done; but it will not relieve
the present necessity, simply because bitum-
nous coal cannot be used by us for domestic
purposes, except in open grates and hence its
free admission, though desirable on all
grounds, would probably not affect the price
Of anthracite twenty cents ton. TO Illus
trate our meaning by single example, there
is a company running boats to Halifax, where
the Nova Scotia col can he bought at less
than So a ton, which now carries anthracite
coal to that point at $40 a ton! Even our
Cumberland coal is far superior to the Pictou;
and, in fact, this is probably one of the best
steam Goals in the world. The substitution of
the Cumberland coal, which has never risen
in price by reason of the strikes, throughout
our manufactures, might relieve the demand
for anthracite, and thus help to give us what
the general public demands, namely, cheap
anthracite for domestic use

ate the fact as thoroughly as his own Govern.
ment, that it is for the interest of the United
States that this piratical system of English
and French merchants should be thwarted.
And 1t cannot have escaped his reflection that
the surest way of doing that is by engaging
foreign governments by treaty to recognize
and respect none but the central government
OF the empire. If his convictions lay in the
other direction, it belonged TO him as a man
OF ordinary candor to make the truth known
on being nominated as Mr.. Burlingames sue
cessor.
We should be glad to allow for any misap-
prehension of the truth of this whole matter
which may yet be exposed, but if that should
not occur, it will remain with Mr.. Browne to
clear up the shadow that lies across his brief
career as a diplomatist. If his sentiments
are in fact as reported, and he is willing to
become the instrument or tool, OF foreign
merchants in China for the disadvantage OF
his own country, by assisting in dismantling
the Chinese Imperial Government, it is sim
ply matter for common congratulation That
his diplomatic life was brought to an end be-
fore his aptness for public mischief was sup
