TheCOal Trade.

The recent reduction Of trrlshs on The rail-
roads Ieaiing from Cum berand, has, as here
tofore stated. created considerable uneasness,
not only along the line Of the Z. l. .. Canal,
and am ing those interested 10 that canal, but
also at the mueS. The Cumberland Aega
MAN of yesterday says:
What with the recent reduction of freight
rates on the Baltimore aud OhiJ Railroad aud
the sharp competition of the Clearheld region,
it is manifest that unless vigorous measures
are tax IN at oLc2 the shipments OF coal by ca
nal this seas IN musl be exceedingly slender.
Il is no use TO attempt to disguise the fact that,
unless the coal trade On the canal is BRISK this
season, there must be fearful depression OF
business here In Cumberland aud throughout
the county. 1t i. therefore the interest OF US
all to have shipments of coal by canal opcn ADD
continue lively.
How can this be done? Certainly only by
reducing the expenses of getting our coal to
market. That such reduction can fall upon
the freight rates paid the boamen, When those
rates are BOW d Wn to the low sum Ut 81. III
and Sl.l5 to Georgetown and Alexandra,
would BIZ 10th uujust ADD unreasonable. The
rates on the Cum bcrlaud and Pennsylvania
road have been reduced largely. The canal
company has already made large reductions,
aud would be wiling, we are uuothcaly 10
formed, to max sill far her reductions upon
condition that the miners, whose wages have
hitherto been untouched 10 the general re.
trenohmcuts, will consent to come forward aud
bear their share also.
We understand that action looking in this
direction has been some time held 10 contem
plation by the miners themselves, and hat ITO
without any external pressure Whatever Our
friends will see that it will be Of more advant-
age to secure regular employment at small
reduction OF wages than to demand high pay
and be half the tim unemployed. The price
paid 10 the Cleartield region is, we believe,
about torty.fye ceots, which is just twenty
cents lower than the price paid 10 AlIegaoy
county.
NV we are Informed that the principal coal
companies would b. satisfied with reduction
of len cents TOO, which wou'd still be price
tea cents higher than that paid 10 the Clear
field region. i the mioers consent 10 such
reduction, the canal company would also make
some dimiuutiou of its charges aud the coal
trade would open with strong impetus and
the general buslness slagnatlon OF this vicinity
would disappear as if by magic. Delay IN the
matter will be Injurious not only to the miners
but to the entire county.
