accord you my grateful acknowl-

pie needed the yindication Of the

we do OF all laborers we are most
oppressed. We are compelled to give
two tons and seven hundred weight
for each dollar We get, or about 33
cents per ton for mining. Il we re-
fer the ma ter to the boss, lie will say
-"bripg out your tools!' and so on.
We mus then submit, or, taking the
alternaHve, go without work.
Ny object in writing is-to inquire
If 1t lsa t ABOUT time for us to inaug-
urate neasures whereby we may OBJ

FROSTBURG, MD, MAY 5, 1877.


THE tour Of the canal officials over
the route of the proposed canal-rail-
road, and the near completion OF the
survey Of the narrow guage railroad,
are simultaneous events of large local
Importance. And, finding both par
ties well pleased with the feasibility
of their respective projects, 1t is now
only a question of means with which
to build--a question the solution OF
which will involve all the tact and
energy available in either manage
ment, peculiarly the canal authorities,
who are brought to an issue which
they should thoroughly measure.
In this quarter there is and can be
no possible objection to the canal-ralI-
road if the people Immediately inter-
ested choose to build it even with the
aid of the canal company. But it seems
to us that the Homecoming narrow
suage presents inducements and argu-
ments for its construction, which, set
at naught, may eventually prove
fatal to both enterprises, Of the
two it alone affords certain promise
of immediate results or precisely what
the canal must obtain to hold its own
The history of coal mining for two
hundred years past, in England, Scot
land, France, Germany, ETC., shows
that the superficial seams have always
been mined first that while deep min
ing has been done even under the ocean
bed, it has always been after the top
veins have given out. Common sense
endorses the practice, if we may not
say the nature Of things makes 1t nee
essity.
In our own region so far The eXper-
fence of lower vein operators Is not
such as to guarantee the experiment
urged upon the canal authorities. AS
competitors Of the Big Vein coal, the
lower Goals have hardly shadow in
any ma'I1et, nor will they while the
former IN be produced in quantities
adeqtu 10 the demand which can
yet lie done for years upon years,
The venture has been undertaken
again and again under favorable aus
pices AMI encouraging promises, but
the results have not been satisfactory.
On She other hand, the Lonacon-
ing narrow guage proposition provides
aahorter line, cheaper road and con-
sequently lower freights, from the
very heart OF the canal patronage OF
Big Vein coal, already in the hey day
of Development, and with name and
: place established in the best markets
of the world. The demand 1or a new
outlet from Homecoming is already
urgent, if not imperative; there is nc
supplementary aid desired, but assis,
tance, certainly and Immediately re.
numeratiye-.or, as before said, ex.
actly that which the canal at this
juncture vitality needs.
We have briefly recited thus mucl
because it is evident the canal com,
pany is neither able nor willing tc
invest much in two roads. The In
terests involved have compelled the
drawing OF sharp lines, though nc
sort Of hostility to The river road i.
entertained. But, comparatively, We
believe the work there proposed be
longs more properly to a generation
probably unborn, and means there ex
pended will be prematurely invested
and by so much lost to a measure fal
more desirable.

The SUBSTITUTION OF

the use OF the True Jamai-
ca Ginger, of their own
selection and importation,
its combination with
choice aromatics, as de-
yised and originated by
DR.. Sanford, placed this
preparation in actual
merit so far ahead of any
thing before Compounded
that notwithstanding the
most bitter opposition
from the trade, its sales
in New England now ex-
coed that of all others
combined, The second
year of its Manufacture
its sale exceeded the prev
ious year by over ffty fUe
thousand bottles. it is
manufactured on a scale
simply enormous. Two
thousand gallons are al
ways kept made long in
advance Of consumption,
by which it acquires a del,
icious flavor and brilliant
transparency. Every i'm
|provement in labor saving
apparatus is adopted, SO as
to permit the use of costly
materials and yet retain a
profit. The bottling ma
chine is alone able to fill
t,o0thouSond four hundred
bottles per hour. Fom this
brief statement it will be
seen that Messrs. WEEKS
q POTTER have entered
upon the manufacture of
Sanford's Jamaica Ginger
in q manner that must in

ticle. Its elegant flavor,
great merit, and low price
should be tested once by
those in need OF a family
medicine before allowing
themselves to be induced,
by Misrepresentation, to
buy others. Insist upon
