How vastly extensive is the coal bust
ness done in the region of the Reading
labor troubles the following facts plainly
show: OF the 34.353,0 tons of coal
mined in the anthracite regions in 1886
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
transported 1851 ,Sl9 tons, the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western 1922, 264 tons,
the Lehigh Valley 6.354, 79s tons, the Cen
trail Railroad of New jersey 3 ,661 1854 tons,
the Pennsylvania Railroad 3,9l9,335 tons,
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
2,690,645 tons, and the Erie and Wyo-
ming Valley Railroad l,454,ss0 tons.
These figures give fair idea of the inter
ests involved in any disturbance that
affects the railroads or the miners in the
anthracite region.
In addition to the anthracite coal inter-
est of Pennsylvania, the 500 bituminous
coal mines produced 27,l07,l73 tons of
coal in 1856. There are employed in the
364 anthracite mines l03,045 people. and
in the bitumnous coal mines 52,364 peo-
pie. When the number of employees on
the coal roads is added to the l55, 900
employed in the mines it will be seen
what an army NAV become involved in
the threatened disturbances in the coal
regions.

Pleased to Respond.

The Argus, in seemingly very amiable
mood, wishes to know if we are in favor
of removing the internal tax on whiskey
We are in just as amiable state of mind in
frankly avowing that we are emphatically
in favor of retaining the tax on whiskey,
to be collected of the manufacturer by the
National Government. And then we
would have the State governments prohibit
its sale except for chemical, medicinal and
manufacturing purposes in all commune
ties where such a law can be made prac-
tically effective.
In all the States where prohibition can
not he made successful, let the retailer of
the whiskey be taxed. The objections to
the taxation of whiskey are sentimental
rather than practical. Alcoholic liquors
should stand double taxation, and all good
citizens say, hit 'em again if possible.
Now We have fairly placed the Argus
under the obligation to answer us frankly

in the Rossin House. Joseph Chamber

cial Interests of the Empire:
He said that he was an Englishman. proud
of the glorious traditions and institutions of
his country. But all patriotism would be
stunted indeed if il did not embrace Great
Britain beyond the seas. He refused to speak
of the United States as a foreign power. He
would urge good neighborhood with the great
Republic which was for one thousand miles
divided from Canada only by an invisible
boundary line. Any difficulties which might
exist between Canada and her neighbor were
to be approached and dealt with as between
friends. The prospects of improved relations
with the United States never looked more
hopeful than at the present. No doubt the
United States would soon mo lerate its tariff
against Great Britain. In few years it
might not be too much to expect that it would
disappear altogether against Great Britain
and all the world. He was in favor of the
widest possible commercial union, not only
with the United States, but with the world
truly unrestricted reciprocity. 1t was
surely restricted reciprocity which would
make people dependent for financial freedom
on the Government of the United States, or
something which would be still more impor-
tant-Canada's political freedom.

Chairman of the Pennsylvania State
Committee on Blaine

Chairman of the Pennsylvania State
Committee on Blaine
The reporter of the Philadelphia Even
ing Call has recently interviewed Hon.
Thomas H. Cooper, Chairman of the Re-
publican State COMMITTEE. who so ably
sylvania against the combined strength of
the Democrats. liquor dealers and the
Sabbath destroyers, resulting in splendid
Republican victory. Below is given the
questions asked him on various points o.
interest and his brief and direct replies:
'.Senator Cooper, began the eporter. ''the
chief objection TO the nomination of MIR.
Blaine is that he is defeated candidate.
How would you answer thatf"
"a defeated candidate who has previously
made good battle is always the strongest al
the next election. True, many doubt the
propriety of renominating such man, but
men who give much attention to politics have
no such fears. They know, and history
bears them out, that such candidates actual
" ran best. There are three reasons for
this; Previous defeat makes their friends
work harder; previous charges are burnt
lerstic asserts itself AZ the third. This is
their pride in thus accomplishing whatever
they attempted. And this pride takes the
place of previous doubts. Foraker was de-
feated by Hoadly by $4,000. The next battle
Foraker beat Hoadly by $4,000. Beaver was
beaten by Pattison by 40,0o0-the next battle
Beaver won by 1900. Hart was beaten BY
1000 and then won by 200. Locally Row
an was beaten overwhelmingly and his next
battle won by 5000"
But wasn't Henry Clay defeated candi-
date?"
Clay was a defeated candidate once before
the House, and once before the popular vote.
He was not given another chance before the
popular vote and therefore this rule does not
apply to him"
do you think Blaine as strong as in
1882"
"Blane is stronger now than in 1884, be-
cause of the fact that we now have definite
tariff ISSUE and because he is the best and
most direct American representative of that
| issue"
"Why so?"
Because he is more familiar with the sub
| ject than any save Senator Morrill,, who is
not candidate, and because Mr.. Blaine has
the happy faculty of 50 discussing the sub
!
How will he please the Free Trade Re-
publicans!"
There are few Western Free Trade Re-
publicans. Indeed, that section is as soldly
for Protection as New England. Free Trade
Republicans are simply Mugwumps, and they
will oppose Sherman as bitterly as Blaine.
In this battle they will have no place, except
| in the Democratic lines For all such who
leave us there will be Protection Democrats
to take their places"
''How will the business interests regard
Blaine?"
"Some of the business interests feared in
1884 Blaine's foreign policy. But time has
made that policy better understood. There
is now no tangible objection TO it anywhere
in America, as it only means the opening of
the avenues of trade to the South American
states.
Gould Blaine carry New York;"
with proper organization and courageous
acceptance of state issues any good Republic
can candidate can carry New York by 10000.

am a Republican in all that the word i'm
plies, and, realizing that the coming Presi-
dental campaign will be hot one, desire to
be fully equipped for the battle, especially
upon the subject of protection and Free
Trade, as applied to affairs in this country
therefore will you, at your earliest conven-
fence, answer or comment upon the points
contained in the following statement?
/. The interest drawing debt cannot now be paid
off, because the bonds have Il long time to run, and
no holder can be compelled to give up his bonds be
fore they are due. When they become due they can
be paid, and not before.
2. The Presidents me ssage does not propose Free
Trade for manufactured, but for raw materials.
3. ii we take the duty OFF raw wool We can export
manufactured wool, thus giving more work 10 our
workingmen.
4. Reduction of duties will increase the circua.
ton of money, because it will prevent the useless
surplus in the Treasury.
S. The money will not go abroad, because we will
pay with our products which we export.
REPUBLICAN,.
l. l-2 per cents have only three years to
run. They aggregate S25o,o00,00o. The
per cents have nearly 90 years to run.
@ Yes, but the raw materials he proposes
to put on the free list represent important
American industries in which nearly 2,0OO,-
600 people are interested-wool growing,
coal mining, or mining, salt producing, flax
growing, numbering etc. The free list now
equals in value of importations S2l4, 600, 900
(haf the dutiable importatons.) This is
composed of raw material and other com
modities not produced here. The Press ia
vors the extension of free list thus COM
posed.
3. This is mere assertion. We have free
raw silk but export no silk goods to speak Of
We have free raw cotton, and yet import an
nually $50, 0OO, 900 worth of cotton goods
With dutiabe wool the growth of our wooden
industry has been as rapid and as salts factory
as any industry. BY taking the duty off wool
you destroy sheep husbandry in the United
States, and in no way help the wooden indus

1t is a fact but little known to people who
keep poultry, that the first part of a hen which
becomes disarranged on the approach of
diseases is the ovaries or egg producing or
gans.
Excess of fat, exposure to wet and cold,
poor condition. shedding feathers, improper
food, want of exercise, or lack of certain
elements in the food to develope the embryo
egg, will all produce the same effect and
cause the hens to stop laying.
1t cannot be laid down as an ''ironclad'
rule, that when a hen ceases laying it is a
positive symptom she will soon be sick; but
it can be stated with the utmost assurance
that something is wrong or she would not
cease laying Tor weeks, and often months
The annual egg product per hen, in this
country, ranges from three to eight dozen
each. Now this is by far too small. There
is no earthly reason why every hen that lays
at ALL should not be made to lay from ten to
fifteen dozen eggs each per year, and con-
tinue to do so at least for FIVE years. We
know of parties who get eggs at that rate in
mid-winter in our cold climate.
How to get eggs in cold weather interests

Raymond of Canaan, Conn, writes under
