THE LAST COAL COMBINATION.

One more move has been made to make
the cold winter months harder and less en-
durable 10 the suffering poor. Not salts
fed with combinations and agreements
among themselves, whereby they can force
the price Of coal up, or down, at WILL they
are taking a still further step Consolda-
ton is the word now. The fewer the com
panies are, the less trouble there will be to
unite and form perfect monopoly. A
few years ago, the coal mining interest
was managed in the same way that were
other business interests. The same, for
example, that the slate and marble inter-
csts of Vermont are managed. Each quar-
ry or ledge was owned by a distinct com
pany, corporation or individuals, and each
was managed, by itself, without reference
to the other. The only common interest
they had was to see which concern
should sell the most stock. There was and
still is healthy business competition be-
tween the proprictors of marble and slate
quarries which inures to the benefit of the
public. The greater the production the
less will be the price, if the supply exceeds
the demand, and this they understand. The
effect is not, however, a combination to re-
press production or enhance prices, but the
rather to see which shall quarry the best
article and the largest quantity. In this, or
any similar business, there is no danger
that it will be ovcrdone. When the limit
of profitable production is reached, there it
will stop. The Owners and workers in
slate and marble have been wonderfully
successful, and have, also, gained and re-
tanned public confidence, because they have
been governed by the ordinary laws of
trade, and have attempted no combinations
by which monopoly might be founded
and the people, thereby, oppressed The
coal interest was formerly so managed
There was and still is wealth in the coal
fields, conducted upon honorable business
principles The whole theory Of coal min
ing is, however, being changed The small
owners are compelled to sell out, because
certain railroads own other coal beds. and
the discrimination in fycghts is fatal. We
have spoken, repeatedly, of this monopoly.
and should not have referred to it again but
for the fact of the consolidation Of two of
the more important railroad and coal com
panes. 1t will continue to grow worse.
and worse, unless some remedy can be
found. Twenty per cent is not remunera-
tive profits, but consultations must lie
formed so that prices may be raised and
larger profits paid. There are no griey-
ances borne by the people, we are told.
Will some one tell us how long the people
will endure these yrasninn mnnnnnlies 2

THE DEFAULTING CONCORD CASHIER
VIM. W. Storrs, the defaulting treasurer
of the National Savings Bank of Concord,
N. H., is a son Of the late Deacon c. W.
Storrs Of Montpelier. He was brought up
to mercantile pursuits and in 1859 was APP
pointed cashier Of the Orange county
bank at Chelsea, where he remained until
the spring of 1864, when he accepted the
position of cashier Of the First National
Bank Of Concord. Upon the establish
ment of the National Savings Bank in
1869 he was made its treasurer lin his at
tendance upon his duties he was prompt,
unwearicd and diligent. In social life his
department was very correct, and his
character unblemishcd. He had not TO APP
pcarance single cXtrayagant habit. His
home was an attractive one, and hand
somely furnished, but not more so than
would be in keeping with his income. He
claims that the defalcation was occasioncd
by loaning the funds of the bank to Il per
sonal friend, Robert s. Webster of Con-
cord, to carry on large lumber operations

his creditors money. lie found that Da-

resting him at Montpelier about noon Of
Tuesday Damon was taken TO Burlington
and had Il hearing before Judge Smallcy on
Thursday morning, which resulted in his
being bound over in the sum of So, 900 for
his appearance before the court for cxami-
nation at such time as the court may di-
rect. The bail was fixed at this small
amount because Damon had delivered to
the Marshal on his arrest ~ $50, and eX-
pressed Willingness to deliver the balance

been appointed provisional assignee of his
estate. Col. f. V. Randall of Montpelier
and Allen Perry Of Cabot, were accepted

the Springfield RepuJhcaa One of the

of railroads which was from g., 1874 miles to
