CoAL-No subject can be of greater
interest to all classes at this time than the
price of coal during the approaching winter.
AS is the case nearly every autumn, dealers
are already putting up the prices, and the in
crease, as usual, will fall most heavily upon
the poor. This is an injustice that ought to
be remedied, and it would be if there was suf-
ficient regard for business honesty in the
community to make the combinations of the
operators and the transportation companies
disreputable.

Labor and Wages.

Of the papers read before the British Asso-
citation at the beginning Of this month, one
of the most interesting was a report from a
committee appointed two years ago to con-
slider the combinations of capital and of la
Dor. The English papers give a somewhat
meagre summary of this report, from which
we learn that the general question before the
committee was whether combinations, either
of capitalists against laborers or of laborers
against capitalists, can affect the rate of wages
permanently The committee answer No,
as was to be expected. They admit what is
claimed by the trades unionists that the ef-
forts Of the unions have at times and in some
notable cases succeeded in extorting higher
wages from employers and Professor Leone
Levi added that the unions had in some in
stances been able to accelerate the operation
of natural laws, but that also their acts often
checked production.
On the whole, the report if we may judge
of it by the summaries at hand, is inconclu-
sive, and so far weak. 1t expresses no de-
cided opinions on some of the most vital
and interesting parts of the labor problem.
The committee hesitates to condemn restric-
tions on production where these have in view
the raising of prices, and the most important
advice it has to give is that employers and
laborers should advise with each other, and
conduct their affairs amicably.
That is perfectly sound advice, but it does
not cover the ground. Nor, indeed, did the
questions before the committee have scope
enough. The difficulties between capital and
labor are greatly increased, if they are not
mainly caused, in England, by over produc-
tion, which causes periodical gluts in the
market, stagnation in trade stoppage of mills
and works and lack of employment The
real problem before the civilized world is
how to carry on the great operations of in
dustry in such way as to make
them constant, to relieve them from
the periodical losses inflicted by over pro-
duction and stagnation. It is doubtful if
even such wise bodies as the British Associa-
ton or our own Social Science Association
can contrive any 'Morrison's Pill" to use
Thomas Carlyles phrase, for the disease of
the industrial world. But careful inquiry
and investigation, made by the leading
economists of both continents, would be of
extraordinary value as q help toward the
solution of what is, on the whole, the gravest
problem of the present century. Few
thoughtful men are content to believe that
industry must continue forever to vibrate
between feverish activity and panic stagna-
tion, and that the millions of laborers must
of necessity remain the helpless sport of cir
cumstances. The trades unions have in a
purblind way sought some remedy, but, on
the whole, they have rather aggravated the
disease. In this country, for instance, they
neither did anything to prevent the present
deplorable stagnation nor are doing any
thing to remedy it. We hope the British
Association will try again, and we should
like TO see it appeal for help to the econo-
mists of the United States, Germany and
France.

Tweed's Property.

Some months since the country was graft
fed to hear that the reform lawyers had put
the hand of the law upon the millions of
property which had formerly belonged to
William M. Tweed, but which, in anticipa-
ton of these complications he had trans
ferred out of his hands. We were then told
that the result of these suits would be that
the city would realize largely upon the sales
of the property which had been purchased
by money stolen from the Treasury. But
Tweed's lawyers, who had genius enough
to take him out of the prison to which he had
been Justly sentenced, are also able to
save his property. Every day or two
we read in the court reports that some
Judge has removed the lis pendens from
in Tweed's name. Perhaps in some cases
this removal is just.
We are afraid that the end will be that
when the time comes for trial Tweed's prop
erty will be as safe from the hands Of the law
as he is himself from Sing Sing. Our lawyers
are resolved to show that while in New York
the ham stealer may be sentenced to twenty
years imprisonment, the robber of millions
and the enemy of the public credit has only
to pay them half million dollars in fees to
escape. Otherwise, if the law could really
punish malefactor like Tweed, it would be
sad blow to the legal profession, and might
put an end to this profitable business which
many of them have enjoyedfor these past few
years. So long as lawyers are above the law
there is q chance for every honest attorney to
earn living from clients like Tweed.

''To THE NUMBER OF FIFTY. The Ma
tional Labor and Union party, which has
been drifting about Boston for the last few
weeks, does not seem to attain encouraging
dimensions. We observe that a meeting was
held at Boston the other day at which there
were delegates present "to the number of
fifty" Although General Banks is the can
didate of this party for the Presidency he
was 'unavoidably prevented from attend
ing" Evidently the General has not much
confidence in his new body of supporters, or
he would be more diligent in encouraging
their deliberations

coming and that great preparations are
making for their reception. The only ques-
ton is, how these twelve thousand additional
soldiers are to be fed but Valmaseda is
equal to the emergency. The royal decree
prohibiting the importation of American
potatoes has been set aside, and tax of fifty
cents per barrel is to be levied for the benefit
of the officials and the treasury. There is
no fear of the potato bug in Cuba while it is
possible to make money out of the esculent

The EASTERN QUESTION is one Of those in
ter1ninable problems which it is not possible
for anybody to understand, but which no.
body can ignore. The latest opinion on the
subject is that of Prince Gortschakoff, in his
interview with NJ. Theirs, when he declared
that its solution would eventually consist
in granting autonomy to Bosnia and Herze-
govina. An obstacle to this settlement of the
question is the determination of Christian
nations to sustain Islam rule.

BLOODY BROOK. The people Of Massachu-
sets yesterday commemorated the two hun
dredth anniversary Of the bloody episode in
Indian warfare
when, through Deerhelds glen
At starving Hadleys call, her food TO share,
Marched LothrOp and his men,
And fell inviting on thai ghasty snare
DIR. George B. Loring was the orator Of the
day and Professor William Everett the poet.
Both productions are worthy tributes to the
GLOVER Of Essex" massacred in that terrible
battle known in history as Bloody Brook. 4"
The massacre was one Of King Philips most
vengeful and determined efforts to destroy
the whites, and after two centuries the
memory Of that sanguinary day is still fresh
in the minds and hearts of the descendants
of those pioneers Of New England. The cele-
bration at South Deerfeld was proper OBJ
servance Of significant event, and the words
Of the orator and the song Of the poet were
both happily in accord with the occasion

have gained

The POLITICAL CANVASS IN MARYLAND was
opened last night at Baltimore with speech
from Mr.. Reverdy Johnson. We present
synopsis Of Mr.. Johnson's remarks this
morning, from which it will be observed
that the distinguished speaker was especially
emphatic in defending Mr. John Lee Carroll,
the democratic candidate for Governor, from
attacks on account Of his religion-Mr Car
roll being as his grandfather was before
him, a Roman Catholic We had hoped the
days Of religious bigotry had so far passed
away as to make an appeal like this unneces-
sary but it seems q political campaign is
still able to develop good deal ofintolerance.
The Truth about our financial manage
ment, and especially about Comptroller
Green, is that he is a quack, and his system,
instead of curing the city, is bringing upon
it additional misfortunes AS Mr.. Dana
tersely expressed it on recent occasion,
Green does the city as much harm by his
policy Of sitting as Tweed did by his thiev-
ing. The true way to insure municipal re-
form Is for our rulers TO bring the expenses
of the city government down to the lowest
possible figure, and having done this TO in
sist upon the people paying taxes enough
from year TO year to leave no deficit and to
pay q portion of the debt. Let us make this
a cardinal principle in our municipal re-
form.

are two splendid exceptions, and the State
has reason to congratulate itself that gentle
men of the ability, experience and high
character of Mr. Bigelow and Mr.. Robinson
consent 10 serve as heads of executive depart
ments. The salaries are niggardly dispropor-
toned TO the services of such men, and their
acceptance should be regarded as an act of
public spirit and selfsaeridce. The salary
of the Governor has been raised from four
thousand dollars to ten thousand dollars,
with an appropriation of four thousand dol
lars for the rent of house the compensa-
ton of members of the Legislature has been
raised from three hundred dollars to fifteen
hundred dollars the salaries of the Judges
of the Court of Appeals have been advanced
from twenty-five hundred dollars to seven
thousand dollars but those of the heads of
departments remain at twenty-five hundred
dollars as they were fixed more than quar-
ter of century ago. For statesman like
Mr.. Bigelow, who has been Minister to
France, or Mr. Robinson, who is successful
lawyer and has held high Office in a great
railway corporation, this seems pitiful COM
pensation. The State is fortunate when men
of such note and mark consent to serve it
for half the salary of the Lieutenant Gov
ernor, whose easy task consists in presiding
over the Senate during few months of the
year. A ticket with the names of Mr.. John
Bigelow and Mr.. Lucius Robinson on it is
more than respectable, it is strong

COURAGE AND MANHOOD. In despatch
of Judge Pierrepont to Governor Ames, Of
Mississippi, telegraphed on Tuesday there
occurs this remarkable sentence:-'I suggest
that you take all lawful means and all needed
measures to preserve the peace by the forces
in your own State, and let the country see
that the citizens of Mississippi, who are
largely favorable to good order and who are
largely republican, have the courage and
manhood to destroy the bloody rufians who
murder the innocent and unoffending freed
man" This appeal to courage and man
hood" will not be lost upon the people of the
South. But is there any marked difference
between the rhetoric ofJudge Pierrepont, who
speaks of the persons who fomented the recent
rebellion as ''bloody ruffians who murder
the innocent and unoffending freedmen, "
and the despatch of General Sheridan when
he denounced them as ''banditti? ?" The
rhetoric of the Attorney General is finished,
and, to a certain extent, covered with legal
forms, but it amounts to about the same
thing as. the despatch of Sheridan, which
led to an Indignation meeting in New York
city.

Are the Republicans Inhationists.

Are the republicans in Ohio and New York
sailing under false colors They charge
their opponents with being infationists, and
this is imputed to the Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA democrats as a serious crime 1t is truly
so, and there is no excuse for these demo-
Gratis, who are false to all the traditions of
the party and to the repeated declarations of
their own leaders during the late war. But
if the democrats, who have been out of
power and have had no control over the cur
rency since 1861, are wicked destroyers of
the public credit, what are the republicans,
who have had power all that time? What
have they done since the war closed? Have
they really done anything toward the re-
sumption Of specie payments or have they
continually inflated the currency?
The plain fact is that we have to-day,
under the rule Of the republicans more
paper money ahoat and lying idle in the
banks than we had at any time since 1865;
and not only this, but the republicans in
Congress have defeated every measure look
ing toward specie resumption and have op-
posed and crushed every sound financial
plan which has been brought forward. They
are fighting under false colors 1t is i'm
portant to make this fact plain, not only that
a false pretence shall be exposed, but also to
show to the people, misled by democratic
demagogues, that the country is not suffer-
ing from contraction, but from a vast ex-
pansion of the currency.
The truth is that we have to-day two mill
ions more paper money in circulation than in
1874; twenty-nine millions more than in
1873; forty millions more than in 1872; fifty
eight millions more than in 1871 ninety-one
millions more than in 1868. That is to say,
| during the administration of General Grant,
who is put forward as the sure and faithful
friend of a sound currency, the rag
baby has grown to the extent of
ninety-one millions. And we have to-day
one hundred and sixty-seven millions more
of paper money than in 1864, the last full
year of the war, and five hundred and fifty
three millions more than in 1859, when the
country was prosperous and everybody had
enough to eat and sufficient employment
The pretence then, that the republicans
are the friends of sound currency is as
baseless and hollow as the Ohio democratic
,pretence that the country is suffering from
contraction. 1t is ruined by expansion, and
the republicans have done the work, which
the democrats now want to do over.

public interests; and very few. we have
found, can be trusted with public money.
It costs us more than twice as much to
be governed as it does any other people
on earth. All this is to be taken in con-
nection with an unjust system Of tax
alton, that consists in taking the peoples
money, Through high protective tariff
without their knowing 1t; system that
is crushing the farmers into the earth !,
as they are the only class Of producers
that cannot add the increase of the tariff
to the price of what they have to sell. If
we are to have reform, which means re-
trenchment, economy and honesty, we
have got to nominate and elect men that
will practice what they preach. A milk
and man like Fisher. dare not say
his soul is his own. won't do for Govern

there is any man in the State that has
got some of his honesty and courage, he
ought to be found and nominated. If
everything was running smooth and every
thing was right, such man as Fisher
would be all right; but in storm we
need man that can command the ship

and who will enforce the law against the
rich as we'll as the poor. Yours truly,
