PUBLIC MEETING.
THE TARIFF-IRoN ORES, Sort
COAL, COKE, &c.

AT a meeting of the people Of
Tazewcll county, held ut tim Court
House Of said county, on the 25th
day of January, 1S3S,-County
Court day-Judgc S. NJ. b. Coul-
ling WAS appointed chairman and
y. j. Tyncs chairman. The fol
lowing resolution was offered by
Major II. II. Henry:
Whereas, at IL meeting Of the
people Of Tazcwell county, held
March 81, 1856, the following reso-
lutiohs were offered and unoni-
mously adopted:
"Whcreas, The present rate of
import duty OH foreign ores, soft
coal, coke, &c, is barely sufficient
to afford fair profit to the capital
employed i'll mining, manulactur-
ing and shipping these products,
and to afford reasonable wages to
the labor employed to this end;
and, whereas, these articles con
S!ituie the bulk OF the present and
prospective wealth of the States"
eve, the people of Tazcwcll
county, irrespective of party ailili-
alton, hereby resolve that any ac-
ton by Congress, either to remove
or diminish said import duty, will
seriously cmbarrass existing mines
and manufactures, and rctard the
development Of others; and in this
behalf we request our representa-,
tives in the Congress of the United
States to oppose the pending prop
osition to remove the duty on the
articles enumerated above"
"That the Press OF Virginia be
rcqnest' d to copy these resolu.
tons, and that the secretary be re-
qucsted to furnish copies to the
Virginia delegation in Congress"
Now therefore be it resolved by
this meeting, That time and OBJ
servation have:strcngthencd our
convictions as to the correctness of
the foregoing resolutions. III the
last two years we have seen won
derful progress made in the de-
ve!opmentof the material resources
of Southwest Virginia, and consc-
quent increase Of her wealth and
prosperity. New railroads have
been built, mines have been open
cd, hundreds of coke ovens built;
great manufacturing establish
ments built up, and others contem.
plated.
Therefore be it resolved, That
VIC again. heartily endorse and ap.
prove tho foregoing resolutions
and we earnestly protest against
the proposition now pending in the
Congress of the United States ia
put soft coal, coke and iron ores
on the free list, that to do So
would, in the opinion of this meet
ing, result in ruinous foreign com
petition, close our mines and man
nfactories, and stop,to very great
extent the development Of oul
mineral wealth, the building Of
railroads in Virginia, and para
I've the young and growing enter
prise and prosperity of or section
Resolved, That the Press of: Wiz
ginia DO requested to copy thes,
rcsolutioes, and that tho sccretar,
be instructed to furnish copies t,

FRIDAY, ~ JAN. 81, 1883.

On the subject of free foreign ores
discussion occupies the columns OF
the Lynchburg Virginian. Ono writer
claims that IL is for the benefit of
Virginia iron manufacturers that the
duty be removed. Ho bucks his
judgment by spot cash offer Of
SD % per ton for 10000 Of 65 per
cent. Besscnier ores. In other words
if Virginia hns such ores then it is
well 10 have them protected, if not
then it is best to get them elsewhere
at the lowest cost. Other Writers
claim that such ore can be found: in
Virgiriu. The important point now
is TO find it in any considerable guam
tity.
The conviction that the present
Congress- will take. some decisive
steps in the matter of adjusting the
tariff calls forth much discussion
among the people'upon very i'm
portant item of political economy.
Perhaps no section of the country is
Ilore earnestly interested in protect
ell ores tLan Southwest Virginia
The people of Tnzewell speak in the
matter. We give space below.

have, within u recent period, be-
come largely interested i'll the rail

life and valuable mineral regions
of Southwest. Virginia. ~

posed OF rich New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston and Baltimore rail.
road men and coal operators, ell
gineers and competent investiga-
tors were dispatched to the hitler
to UNEMPLOYED mountain country,
and, after careful and searching
investigation, reports were pre-,
scented by these experts that at
once positively and definitely es-
tablished the fact that the basins
in the counties previously men
toned were capable of producing a
superior quality of coal.
The officers of the Bureau of III
formation and Investigation OF the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad Com
pany also displayed commendable
enterprise in sending trained and
efficient prospcctOrs to the region
beyond the Cumberland range to
Investigates and the result of their
investigation only confirmed the
statements of the others, who had
pursued the researches before.
Confident that q coal district of
immense area and great value is
embraced within the borders of
Roanoke, Wythc, Tazewell and
Shenandoah counties, large capital
is being invested in the purchase
of vast acreage, and with the adj
vent of 1883, several millions of
cash will be placed by a syndicate
Of Philadelphia and Baltimore
men to erect collicry works and the
construction of Il railroad to con-
meet with the Shenandoah Valley
system near Roanoke City. Not
only will coal mining he eXtcn-
sively pursued, but iron maniiac.
turing will be largely engaged in,
ore of q superior quality being
found in abundance in the region
now being developed. 1t is said
that under coal and iron, other
minerals of high commercial value
lave been discovered, and, in tho
course Of time, works for tlleil
preparation and rendering into
useful and marketable shapes will
be built Coal Trade Journal.
