GREAT BRITAIN.

The fine weather which favored the
gathering of the crops in August has
extended its good ministration to the
work Of September, rounding up the
cereal year without disappointment or
delay. On the continent, as we'll, the
early autumn sowings are being made
under auspices fair for the initial steps
of future crops, and for the last pro
cesses of those still in the ground. The
disheartening price which all grain is
now bringing is even a severer blow to
the farmers than even the bad crops of
previous years, and coming when their
resources are pressed to the uttermost,
the future is looked forward to with
dismay. The papers are teeming with
farm statistics, showing the cost of
raising grain per acre and the resulting
money returns in the markets, of which
the following may be taken as hard
example; A correspondent writing
from East Lothian says that with pres.

BIaine's Record Among
the Hooking Valley
StarvelingS.
fN.u York Evening Post J

If you will turn to the New York
Tribune of August 81, 1881, you
will find an item setting forth the
enormous monopoly OF "nearly all
the coal and iron interests in the
Hooking Valley IN Ohio, giving
the names of the persons who pro
yided for the Colossal capital" for
the monopoIization and operation
of ''about 40 square miles or 80,
900 acres" of land.
Among the names will be found
Gov. Foster. of Ohio; Mr.. William
Walter Phelps, of New Jersey; MIR.
Secretary James G. Blaine and
Gen. James A. Hall, Of Maine
When the tariff question was before
Congress. Mr.. Blaine came foreward
as special lobbyist Of the coal and
iron interests for a big duty on bi
luminous coal and iron ore. The
duty on iron ore is seven'y-five
cents per ton; the duty on bitumin-
Gus coal is seventy-6ve conts per
ton.
Ifyo will turn to the file of the
Commercial Advertiser, you will
find on the 14th of July, 1884, a
dispatch from Columbus, o.. stat
ing that a large number OF import
ed laborers had been sent down to
the Hooking valley mines, guarded
by 1870 of Pinkerton's police, armed
with carbines and revolvers. In the
Commercial Advertiser of the 18th
of July, 1884, you will find another
dispatch stating thst the operators
(owners) say they "will have 5000
more foreigners to go INTO the
mines IN a few days" Tho dispatch
es of yesterday and to day from
that region portray the conditi on of
things there now. Now what are
the facts?
A great monopoly has a protect
i've tariff of seventy FIVE cents per
ton on bituminous coal, ostensibly
tor the benefits of the poor working
men, to project them against what
is called pauper labor. Now those
miners only struck against having
their wages reduced below seventy
five cents per ton. Thus they only
received as wagesfve cents less than
the amount Of the protective tariff,
and they are treated with carbines
and reviewers.
This is fine q showing upon
which to ask the laboring men to
vote for James G B;aine.

We are pleased to 'acknowl-
edge an exchange from the To-
ledo Commercial Telegram, pub
lished by the Damon and Pythias
Journalists, Comfy & Francisco.
The Commercial Telegram has
the familiar typographical face
and the photographic features,
which years ago. made the Co.
lumhus journal the most liked
and most feared paper in the
State.
AS paragrapher, Gen. Comfy
has no superior in the newspa-
per service. His editorials are
boiled down to the thickest syrup
of expression-a spoonful having
all the sugar barrel of cogita-
tion might contain. He don't
bore his readers with long arte-
sian well plalitudes, obscure
thorough strata, as we'll as at
bottom. but he hufis. angular,
ugly chunks of thought that hit
and hurt. He is kind of cat-a
led writer, and the other
fellows in the newspaper game,
are often hit and put out when
not expecting it. His paper is
decent and high toned, and those

the brightest md "most red hot
