ions Of 2, 600 pounds

The total product for 1880 was 49,
81 459 tons. In eighteen States of the
Union east of the Pacific slope bitumin-
Gus coal has been found. In these the
maximum capacity of the mines in OPP
Grafton is IA, 154, 273 tons, being little
over twice the amount actually mined.
The three States of Pennsylvania, ILL
nois, and Ohio produce nearly three
fourths of the bituminous coal mined.
The increase IN the business during
the decade is as follows Number of
mines, per cent, 1922; yearly tonnage,
1876; yearly value Of product "A; wages
paid, 46 number of employees, 1888;
capital, 81; decrease in value per ton,
80; decrease in cost of labor per ton, 38.
1t is to be noted that the calculations for
1870 were based on the paper dollar,
while for 1880 they are on the gold dol
lar.
The wages paid in the production of
coal for the census year were $50, 707,-
059, and the number of hands employed,
96,475.
There are only two States in the
Union producing anthracite coal-viz.,
Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, which
yielded in 1880 as follows

The population of England is %, OO0,-
900. The production of coal in that
country in 1856 was Ga, 661 ,401 tons; in
1877, 1876, 179, 1868 TONS; and in 1880,
LAG, 818, 122 tons. The number of col
Tiers in England in 1880 was $3.50, and
in the United States 1924. It is seen
that the production of coal in England.
in an area about the size of Ohio and
with half the population of the United
States, is double that of this country.
England is now probably up to it's max
imum, while we are only beginning.
Ohio has capacity for producing as
much coal as England.
There are immense deposits of coal in
Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama, but
these have hardly been disturbed. So
much has been said of these that people
have exaggerated notions on the subject,
yet the production in those States in
1880 were trifing, as follows:
Tons.
Alabama Observation-Disclosures. 323. 934
Kentucky ...................... $685. 857
Tennessee NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 494 491
The future of the United States in
this regard may be inferred from the
foregoing statistics There are hardly
figures enough to compute it's capacity,
and the products for generations to come
will depend upon the demand. Our
great manufacturing Industries depend
ON coal, and in this respect there can be
no failure. We have several States, in
which the deposits have been barely
touched, equal to the whole of England

The result of the elections on the

country are determined to preserve
the blessings of civil liberty and free
government at all hazards, and by
sacrificing personal feeling aid par
ty ties, whenever a tendency is es
tablished to absolute rule. The lead
ers Of the Republican party by a long
continuance in power had become
corrupt in legislation and the execu-
tion of laws, and the people have
spoken their verdict against the
abuse of power in every form. The

New York Sun.

Probably not on the fourth of next
March. The Senate will be very close,
with the chances in favor of a Repub-
lican majority of two, three, or four
votes.
Twenty-six Senators go out with
the Forty-seventh Congress. Ofthese,
fourteen are Democrats, eleven are
Republicans, and one, David Davis of
Illinois, is an Independent. That

need only ten more Senators, while
the Democrats need thirteen.

We clip the following from the
Springfield Daily Globe, concerning
the fate of two notorious characters
who figured very prominently in the
Presidential steal of 1876. 1t will
not be many years until every one
connected with that villainous trans
action will be down below the level
of a common thief:

brought news from Eureka, New,
says the St. Lnuis Globe Democrat,
of the death there, in a street ~fracas,
of James E. Anderson, who, in the
Presidential commotion of 1867,
cut such a notorious figure. Ander-
son-"Lying Jim Anderson" the
Democrats delighted to call hint

or alleged services, in Louisiana,
which finally Mr.. Hayes was Undue

turned his back on the Hayes Ad-

awful fuss in the newspapers and be.

The upright-ess of grain gambling

The upright-ess of grain gambling
has received q stern rebuke at the
hands of the supreme court of Wis
consin. A Spectator in grain had
lost $500 over and above the mar
gin in the hands of his broker. The
broker tried to make him pay up,
but he resisted on the ground that
no actual grain had changed hands
and that the transaction was only a
gambling operation in futures, being
nothing more nor less than a bet on
the possible price of grain. The
case was first tried before a circuit
court and resulted in a verdict
against the man who had lost the
$4,000. He appealed to the supreme
court and won the victory. The de
cision is a very important one and
of extensive application as so many
thousands of people are now specu-
lating through brokers in wheat,
corn, oats and other food products
1t virtually puts the whole business
on a par with playing poker or gam
bling in policy tickets. It is well
known that operators in grain "fu
lures expect to sell out before thu
day of tie future comes round
EThey have not IN n case out of
I thoasand any facilities for handling
or storing the grain if it were deliv
cred to them. They would not knoy
what in the world to do with it
they had it on their hands, eXcep

: preme court shall have the effect {

e innate operators who speculate i
future" it will be good not only ft
the pockets of'these unfortunate
= but also for the morals of the con
If munity.

Hon. W. D. Hill made a present
of a $3.50 horse To Fred Whipple,
editor of the Toledo Bee, for servl
ces rendered him through the me-
dunn Of his paper during the late
campaign. Mr.. Hill has shown him
self to be more liberal than any can
didate we have heard of in this part
of the State.-Celiaa Standard.
Hon. VIM. D. Hill came up from
among the boys who had to depend
upon their own and fight
the battle of life unaided by wealth
or influential friends, and most glo-
riously and successfully has he en-
countered the storm and risen by his
own indomitable energy and perse-
verance, aided by strict integrity in
every position in life, fulfilling every
promise to his friends and recompen-
sing every man as far as in his pow
er laid for all ~favors, whether in po-
litical or commercial life, and recog-
nlzing the great principle that the
''laborer is worthy of his hire" and
practising in every day life that pre-,
cept he made himself old with men
of all political persuasion and in
every walk of life, until to day he is
one of the most popular and rising
men in Ohio, made SO by sterling in
tegrity, honesty of purpose and faith
fulness to those who stood shoulder
to shoulder with him in his fight for
victory! His example is worthy OF
imitation by men who desire to rise
in the political world, and attempt
to do so by indiscriminate promises
which they never fulfill and seem tc
forget as soon as they reach the goa
of their ambition.
There are politicians in Ohio VIII,

men may soar aloft for a season, blu
the day will come when their ambi

their deceit, hypocrisy and treache

that he had nc excuse for stepping

Some of the Republican papers
never tire in their efforts to bring
liscredit on the silv' legislation of
the Democratic Congress which
crystallized in the law etizing
that metal and providing for the reg
ular coming of silver dollars by the
government at the rate of two mil
lions a month. 1t was this legisla
ton which enabled the government
to u specie payments; but 1t
would never do for the Republicans
to acknowledge it. The Republican
party had so long assumed to be the
only party of business and public
credit that for the Democracy to
stand confessed as the final factor
necessary to the rehabilitation of the
national finances would have been
fatal. The New York Times says:
The extraordinary measures adopt
ed by the Treasury Department to
put and keep in circulation the stand
ard silver dollars do not work. On
January Sd of this year its assets in
this form were 500, $50, 1887; on the
I'd of October, nine months latter,
they were 500, 22S,647. This is an
increase, in the three quarters of a
year, of $22,63S ITO, which is at the
rate of ~$2,515,4I2 a month, or almost
exactly the amount coined. we have
steadily pointed out that hey ond q
very limited amount there could be
found no practical employment fol
this coin, and that its compulsory
coinage must necessarily result only
in embarrassment and loss. 1t is
hut a question of time when this re
suit will become a very serious one
A few facts will explode there in
timations, says the Cleveland Plai,
Dealer. Since the enactment of tn.

have gone into circulation-not al

Gates. That so large an amount o
silver lies in the Treasury is no evi
dence that it is not doing service a
currency; and the attempt to conve,.
a different impression is an insult t
the popular intelligence. Not onl..
