THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE will commence, ON
or about June Ist, the publication In weekly chap
ters oru treaties ny Editor on POLITICAL EcoNo-
MY, designed more especially to eucidate and de-
fend the policy OF PROTECTION TO HOME INDUS
TRY. he expects to bring the work within the CON-
pass Of twenty TO twenty-five chapters of three CT
four columns and to treat the subject with such
simplicity and drectness that few can read these es-
says without at least realizing that the Protective
policy is either grossly misunderstood or deliber-
ately misrepre ented by the champions OF Free
Trade. The public SHALL at all events, realize that
we. who stand for Protection, habitually read and
try to comprehend our adversares while they ignore
our writings and grossly caricatuIe our arguments.
These essays will ultimately be printed together;
but, in view of the desperate efforts of the Free
Traders to forestall opinion and try to wrest YER
dict from public which has not heard the case ar
gued. we ask the friends OF Protection to aid us In
giving these essays, as they originally fall from the
press, general diffusion.
The Free Trade League, organized in this city, by
and in the interests Of foreign manufacturers is labor
ing assiduously through newspapers which it con-
trols and by the distribution oftracts and pamphlets
to destroy the Tariff and surrender our markets to
the importers OF foreign manufactured goods Their
efforts can best be counteracted by the disssmina-
ton of journals intelgsntiy and continuously do
voted to the protection OF American labor aud tho
fostering Of American interests. Il.
We shah print more than Two Hundred Thous-
and copies OF each in our regular editions; but we
hope they will receive still wider dissemination
through the formation of new clubs (which we SUP
ply at fraction tho cost OF willie paper) for
The WEEKLY TRIBUNE
We believe that It will be for the interest CT every
establishment in the country of whatever nature, to
see to it that each workman Is supplied with the
TRIBUNE during the coming year. The question OF
Protection to Home Industry is coon to be all-ab-
sorbing, and 1t ia of the utmost Importance that
every voter shall be wen informed on the subject
Whoever would have these essays from the outset
must transmit their orders by the 1st Of June.
The WEEKLY TRIBUNE Of June 2 will contain
the first chapter.

When an American citizen is maltrcated
or molcstcd in any way, or deprived OF his
perfect freedom in foreign country, unless
he be guilty Of some crime, the United States
Government Is bound to protect him, and
would protect him even should 1t have to go
to war to assert and maintain all the indie
feasible rights Of Its citizens however hum
he. But how Is It at homel
Honest, high-minded citizens, for no crime
except that they entertain opinions on pollt-
cal questions not In harmony with a class
ofpcople once rebels, but now calling them
selves the Ku.Klux- Khan, are shot doNn In
cold blood, and 1t seems, thus far, that our
Government is not able to bring these das-
tardly villains to punishment.
There is IN alarming state Of things In
Georgia Just now, and 1t appears that II a
man utters opinions not in consonance with
those entertained by certain rebels, he is TO
be murdered wherever found. The assassi-
nation Of the Hon. Joseph Adkins and ofDr.
Aver, and the attempted assassination Of the
Rev. Mr. spilman, presiding elder OF the
Methodist Church, at Waynesboro', In
Georgia, show conclusively that 1t is high
time that General Terry was In this State,
and that he was clothed with that authority
which will enable him TO hunt down and de-
stroy this band OF Infamous scoundrels, so
that they may perish, leaving neither root
nor branch. In view OF these terrible crimes
which are now SO frequent in this State we
do not understand what Colonel Forney
means when he says that life and property
arc as safe in Georgia as in Pennsylvania.
We do not think that Senators and Repre-
scntatives in Pennsylvania stand In danger
OF losing their lives on account oftheir politl-
cal opinions. We have not heard that any
man has been murdered in open day In Penn
sylyania because he entertained political ne
tions not in coincidence with those enter
tained by any of his neighbors.
Tho conversation alluded to in our paper
Of Monday as having occurred IN q private
office, though In q public and outspoken
manner, is conclusive proof of that diaboll
cal spirit which is rampant In portions o.
the South at this time.
We trust that the Administration will sec
to 1t that justice be administered, and tina
these criminals be brought to condigu pun
ishment, until life and property Is as safe |,
Georgia as they are in Pennsylvania, or gu
country is not free.
The time must come when all men ma!
entertain their political opinions and ute
them as frankly and as freely in Charleston
Mobile, New Orleans, Savannah, or In any
interior town in the South, as In Boston
Let the murderers of Adkins, Aver and som'
two or three hundred others, who were muir
dercd for opinions sake, be brought to jus
tice, and let them be punished. TIL this
done do not let Georgia claim to be fire.

On Saturday last about sunset there was a
brutal murder committed In the store OF
Rufus McDormau, in Danes quarter dis
triet, In this county. II appears that Capt.
John X. Shores, residing on Deals island,
met VIM. Wheatley at McDorman's store,
and asked him IL no (Wheatley) intended to
90 to Salisbury with him on the following
Sunday. wheatley answered that he could
make more money oysterlng, whereupon
Shores replied; "Whatl arc you not going
with me, considering what l have done for
you You know / footed bill for you In
Salisbury which you could not pay upi I
ought to kill you"
Shores Immediately struck wheatley, who
was sitting down at the time. The latter arose
from his seat and begged him to deslst.
Shores was still eager for the fray, and draw
left side OF wheatley, striking the fourth RIB,
and the knife glancing, completely severed
the ffth, and touched the heart. The fatal
thrust caused death In about five minutes.
| Shores went home, changed his clothes, and
was arrested and brought to jail by Officer
/ Thomas Kelley on Sunday morning. Whisky
Is assigned as the cause Of this bloody deed,
as both were known 10 be intoxicated at the
time.
Shores is a married man, aged o. years,
and has nine children. Wheatley leaves a
widow and four children, and was "a years
old at the time the murderous blade Of John
X. Shores cut asunder the thin, small cord OF
life which bound him to the bosom Of a de-
pendent family. Shores Is at this time suf'
| fering greatly from the remorse which al
ways hangs over the wilful murderer as IN
accusing angel, bringing home to his heart
/ of hearts the truth that he who transgrcsses
the law Of God by sending into eternity q
creature fashioned by the Almlghty's owr
hands must, as a necessary consequence oil
his heinous crime, be subjected to amending
sorrow and woe. This makes the SECOND
case which we have had to chronicle In lesI
than eight weeks In which rum was thu
cause OF the taking Of the lives Of two human
| beings.-!SOHeTSSt Herald.

The Coal MIners' striks-The Coolest
Humbug OF tho Day-How 30 Ad'
vance the Price Of Coal.

TFrom the Mahony (PA.) Gazette, May 49,
The miners Of the anthracite coal region
had, as 1t was supposed, formed a perfect
compact union, and 1t was agreed among
them that they would In all Of the regions
suspend operations for at least two weeks,
and longer If 1t should be deemed necessary
The matter was entirely In the hands OF the
men; the operators had nothing to do with
1t, and for the first time in the history Of the
trade there was q reasonable prospect that
the supply would be regulated so as not TO
oyerstock the market. and the business and
prices kept steady.
The fact Of the proposed suspension was
promulgated, and dealers abroad acted ac-
cordlngly, and laid In large stocks. Then,
at the eleventh hour, the Hyde Park miners
in the employ of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Coal Company, who are mem
bers of the Miners Union, voted unanimous
ly not to suspend. The action, TO say tho
least, is not only unfair to their fellow-work-
men, but Will have the effect to destroy the
usefulness to the miners Of the association
in which they profess to feel an interest. II
all the regions still 60 on working this action
will result dIsastrously TO the Hyde Park
miners; for the market will become gluttcd
with coal, and they will have to submit TO q
reduction Of wages or stop, while II only the
miners OF this region suspend, the Luzerne
men will be benefited at tho expense OF their
fellow-workmen of schuylkill. In either as
pect of the case we do not envy the position
In which the Luzerne miners have placed
themselves. 1t is mean, contemplate, dis
honorable.
Now, the whole effect of this course, unless
rcconsidered, and at once, will be bad on the
trade for the balance OF the season. It Will
not be long before the condition of the trade
will compel the OF orators to stop, or reduce
wages to a point which will be severely fell
BY tho miners. In short, 1t will unsettlc con
Hdence, depress general business, and make
things In connection with the trade much
worse than If suspension had never beer
agreed upon.

The rise of gold why is The ques-
ton is very easily answered. In the first
place, We have been importing very largely
of luxurics and sending gold out OF the
country to pay for these importations.
"Thosc who dance must pay the fiddler"
Thus the balance of trade is against us on
account Of these importations.
Then again, the production OF gold has
not, so to speak, been equal to the demand
for 1t; that is, 1t has been sent abroad
faster than We could mine 1t and bring 1t int
use.
Tho war.cloud about the Alabama, etc.
has doubtless had some influence in pro
duclng this result. The policy of the Gov
ernmcnt also in rcdecming the natlona
securities at the rate of q million OF dollar
q week has had the effect TO keep thes'
bonds at home for sale In our own markets
Otherwise they would have gone abroad ant
brought home foreign gold. The lrfux o
gold Is to this extent checked, and hercir
we find another cause for the gold rise. 1t
is question as plain rs cause and effect.
