DUTY ON COAL.
OprOAifiOu to the Recorn III ncntlniIona Df
the Tariff Commission,

OppOsitlOu to the Rec ON III cntlniIons Of
the Tariff Commission.
From oursrecial Correspondent.
WARRINGTON, December l4.-The Tariff
Commission recommends that the duty on
bitnmit1ons coal be reduced from seventy.
five cents to fifty cents per ton instead Of
abolished altogether as inlima.etl in these
dispatches. 1t is said that the entire West
Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland dele.
cations i'll Congress will oppose any rcduc.
ton on this article at all. The anthracite
coal is used for domestic purposes east Of
the Allegheny mountains, there being no
steam or gas coal found In the East. The
present duty is on bituminous, such rs is
found west Of the Allegheny mountains.
Senator Davis says that the West Viryinia
delegation will make vigorous opposition
to any thing that threatens to embarras
the coal and iron interests OF that State.
and it will be aided by the pennsylyania
and other delegations.
|. COL. WILSON BEFORE THE coMMlrTEs,
Col. Ben Wilson went before the Ways
and Means Committee Of the House this
forenoon for the purpose Of requesting the
Committee to get Il day apart to hear II pro.
test from the members OF the West Virginia
delegation against the reduction Of tile
duty on btuminous coal from IS to 50 cents
rerton, as proposed by the Tariff Commits
sion.
Colonel Wilson stated that in Harrison
county, West Va, in which lie resides, it
cost about Is cents per ton to mine the
coal, and that nearly 100000 per year is
expended for this branch OF industry. Ele
says that il the duty on this quality oi coal
is reduced producers will be unable TO
compete with the English import,
which can be bought hero and
sold just as cheap rs our own
production. There is no duty on the hard
coal which is used principally for domestic
purposes. But bituminous coal is uot in
domestic nse, except in the immediate sec-
tiohs where tits mined, but it is used for
steam and gas making purposes by all the
the rallroads, steamships and large manu-
facturing establishments.
Ihe ways anu Means Committee have
not yet received the testimony taken before
the Tariff Commission, and until that is
ready they will not be able to give Colonel
Wilson aud his colleagues a hearing
In 1871 an effort was made TO At Il SINH
lar reduction, and Colonel Wilson was
then requested by the West Virginia coal
interest to come to Washington and make
an argument before the Ways ind Means
Committee, which resulted in defeating
the proposition then. 1t is hoped that
Colonel Wilson will be rs successful this
| time.
