The Miner.

TEE Coal TRADE.-The combination has
decreed that there shall be total suspen-
sion Of coal mining in the anthracite reg
ION every alternate week beginning with
Monday next and ending with the last Of
July. This is better for the workingmen
and very much better for the bushes in
terest Of the region than would be a con
tlnuous suspension of five weeks. re-
ductiOn of tolls on the roads would be bet
ter still for all hands concerned-not ex-
Guiding the owners thereof, who are pur-
suing policy as foolish as it IS hogish-
policy, that will be certain to lead them
to bankruptcy III the end. If the men
would employ the idle time that will be
theirs, by reason Of this OIder in posting
themselves as to the manner in winch the
money rings and railroad companies have
established the monopoly, they now enjoy
in this region, and would then proceed to
exert their political power with the pur-
pose of dissstablishing it. the suspension
would indeed be what some now affect to

vein of coal has been discovered on
the property Of the Etna Ironworks, At
Willard, Kentucky. 1t occupies geologi-
cally the same position as the Jackson
shaft coal, 800 feet below the lime. stone
vein, ami has a uniform tickness Of SO
inches. The coal is remarkably free from
sulphur and slate, having been analysed
by the Kentucky State Geologist and BY
Pittsburgh parties, and pronounced bst-
ter quality than any as yet analized from
this section. An eighty foot shaft will be
put down about mile from the entry for
further investigation.
A terrific explosion OF FIRE damp occurred
at the Midlothian coal pit in Chesterfield
county, Virginia, on Saturday, the 2Ist
ult. There we're but eleven men At work
In the pit at the time, and of these eight
were killed and two seriously injured. -
The shaft Is 700 feet in depth from the sur
face, and the tunnel in which the men
we're at work, was 800 feet from the shaft.
The ventilation of this shaft was very
poor, and work was IN progress looking to
the putting in of a powerful fan at the
time OF this sad occurrence.

Platform Of the Independent Party ad-
opted at Indianapolis May 10, 1876.

''The Independent Party il called into
existence by the necessities Of the people
whose industries are Frustrated, whose la
Dor is deprived of its Just reward as the
result of the serious mismanagement Of
the national finances. which errors both
the Republican and Democratic Parties
neglect to correct. In view of the failure
of these parties to furnish relief to the de-
pressed industries of the country, thereby
disappointing the Just hopes and expecta-
tons Of a suffering people, we declare our
principles and invite all independent and
patriotic men to Join our ranks in this
movement for financial reform and indus
trial emancipation.
First We demand the immediate snd
unconditional repeal Of the specie resump-
ton Act OF January IA, 1875, and the re-
cue Of our industries from the disaster and
ruin resulting from its enforcement, and
we call upon all patriotic men to organize
in every congressional district of the coun-
try, with the view Of electing Represent
atives to Congress who will legislate for.
and Chief Magistrate who will carry out
the wishes Of the people in this regard,
and thus stop the present suicidal and
destructive policy Of contraction.
''SecOnd-We believe that United States
Notes issued directly by the Government,
and convertible on demand into United
States obligations, bearing an equitable
rate Of interest mot exceeding one cent
day on each one hundred dollars), and in
Interchangeable with United States Notes at
par, will afford the best circulating medium
ever devised such United States notes
should beafull legal tenderfor all purposes,
except for the payment Of such obligations
as are by existing contracts expressly
made payable in coin And we hoSd that
it 10 the duty Of the Government to pro-
vide such circulating medium, and we in
slst, in the language Of Thomas Jefferson,
that bank paper must be suppressed and
the circulation restored to the nation, to
whom it belongs.'
"Third-1t is the paramount duty Of
the Government in all its legislation to
keep in view ths full development Of all
legitimate business, agricultural, mining,
manufacturing and commercial

MAKE HAY WHILE THE sun
GHIEES
A Savings Bank In Which Everybody
has Conscience.

=" Make hay while the sun shines, Is an
old adage and certainly there is no class 10
whom this advice is more applicable than the
working people. They, of all others, are the
most deeply interested in making preparations
for a rainy dAy-in providing in the hour Of
prosperity for the day of adversely Panics
come and go business men and capitalists
even, when losing money, can fall back on
their reserves the workingman, who too Of
ten lives from hand to mouth, has no such
luxury to rely on The only friend he can
depend upon in the hour of adversely is
balance on the right side Of the savings bank
account book, and there are thousands in this
city who have reason to bless the day when
haps the only fifty Ger is. From that hour
they were instilled with a new ambition-the
dollar was soon supplemented with another
and another-and these dollars, when divid-
end day arrived, became source Of rev
enue-and eyentuated in what should be the
ambition Of every citizen-the possession of a
home.
But it is all-importaLt to the depositOr to
a reliable institution, where he has a positive
assurance that they viii be judiciously ill.,
vested, honestly guarded, and Forthcoming
when necessity demands their withdrawal /.
and as the proof Of the pudding is in the eat
ing 1t gives US pleasure to reccmms md an in
stitution which has met and meets to-day all
these requirements the German Savings Bank,
9th avenue, bet. Washington and Randolph
street, which is under the immediate super
vision OF Henry Greenebaum. its President,
a gentleman who has made the question OF
finance the study Of life time, and possesses,
in an eminent degree, the confidence Of the
industrial classes of the city.
Particular attention is paid TO the deposits
Of trade and labor assocIations-the system
adopted to prevent embezzlement being such
as to render it an impossibility "a very i'm
portant consideration. Married women and
minors may also deposit money, subject ex-
clusively to their own order. Interest at the
rate of six per cent on all deposits Of one
dollar and upwards paid twice year
In conclusion, we again urge upon every
reader of the ADVOCATE who has a dollar to
spare, daily or weekly, to lay it aside; to
call at the German Savings Bank, which Is
kept open every day from 10 to 3 and Monday
and Saturday evenings till clock. and they
can rest assured they will never have cause
TO regret their action.
