Originally the trees must have stood
erect above layer Of vegetable matter,
their roots being embedded in the sill
which forms the deposit next to the
coal. The vegetable layers u,ay prob
ably have been two or three times AZ
thick az the resulting coal scam, aud
were reduced by pressure to their pres

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

"TuE National Federation of Asso.
ei.tsd Employers Of Labor" cousoli
dates aud arms the manufactures Of
Great Britain for effective opposition
to The Unions Of workingmen. Here.
.ofors the war Of capital and labor
seemed to be an irregular assault Of Ia
Dor upon isolated capitalists, who
sought no allies, made no active resis-
lance, aud even if victorious had no
means Of Furnishing the conquered, o,
preventing further outbreaks Of hos
tility Hereafter union will be met
With union, resistance to local strike
will be sustained by the combined
manufacturing capital Of Great Brit.
sin, and obnoxious leaders Of working.
men will end themselves barred out OF
every mine, mill, aud workshop iu the
Kingdom.
The result, 70 think. cannot be
doubted. Heretofore capital has con-
quered in every struggle with labor.
merely because it could wait; hereat.
ter ito passive resistance will become
active, and the English workmsu must
submit or emierate.
Among the Federated Employers We
recognize the leading manufacturers Of
England, some Of whom arc noted for
the l;berality Of their views, and they
have gone with the Union under great
coupul.ion, and because Of public ra,h
er than private considerations. The
Aasncisl prosperity, the social order.
aud tie maintenance Of the political in
stitutions Of England, depend upon her
continuing to be the workshop Of the
world, aud this depends upon her COM
mand Of cheap labor.
The gradual sxhauseion Of native ores,
and the increased difficulty Of getting
coal, have placed England At a disad.
vantage in many lines Of business, c.
pscially in the iron trade, and she f"ds
shat countries which have been her
customers are becoming rivals. It ID
4 cause Of serious alarm, which finds
expression not only in trade journals
but also in the Pertinent and in the
Times. Dimi mutton Of natural depos.
it, of coal and ores cannot be prevented,
but cheaper labor may be employed in
getting them. and that cheaper labor
England is determined to have. 1t is
= matter Of national concern, and the
nstion will make direct way to its oh
ject over any obstacle that may lie in
its path
The question which presents itself
to the American people is, shalt We be
the ally ofthe Federated Employers Of
Great Britain, in their war with the
workiugmeu, Or not! Shall We 10
shape our Tariff policy a. to give up
our market to the cheaper commodities
which England is determined to fur.
nish to the world, or shall We resolute-
" sustain our own industriesl Much
depends upouthe answer to this ques-
tioa, for the industria strife which is
now formally organised in Great Brit
ain may isvolve in its issue, political

ZINC FOR DAIRY UTENslIs.--J. Lang
Cassels, analytical chemist, warns dai-
rymen and house-keepers that zinc or
galvanized iron dairy and household
utensils are more or less poisonous.
In his report he says that salts of zines
are produced by the action of the wa
ter of Lake Erie on zinc-lined pipes,
the water in twenty-four hours be-
comes blush white and tasting distinct
ly of zinc. Zinc isvery easily dissolved
even by the weakest acids, and in stu
ations where no acids are perceptible;
all its salts are poisonous, and the ef-
fects on the human system cumulative
like arsenic in small doses.

Their graves are strewn with flowers;
But others shroud me in their gloom
And bring back heavy hours
How many treasure from my grasp
