NO Duty ON ANTHRACITE COIL


At meeting of one of the Knights of Labor
assemblies composed entirely of striking Read
ing Railroad employees, resolution was passed
that indicates the presence among the strikers
of some Democratic demagogucs who are lead
ing them astray. The resolutions allude to the
difficulties between the company and its en-
Moves. and declare that the " company is pro-
tccted from foreign competition by protective
tariff on coal" They conclude by insisting
that the members of the assembly shall support
in the coming Congressional election only those
candidates "who arc pledged to vote to repeal
the tariff on coal"
Before passing such resolution as this the
Knights should have taken the slight trouble
IF finding out the facts The product of the
Reading Company's mines, and all other
anthracite mines. is open to the COM
petition of the whole world. Not penny OF
duty is laid on anthracite coal 1t is on The
free list There is a small tariff on bitumnolis
coal which is designed to protect the mines Of
MARYLAND and West Virginia against those OF
Nova Scotia, hut nothing whatever stands in
the way of the frccst competition with the
coal mined by the Reading Company.
There is an amazing amount Of ignorance
among the people concerning the application
now made of the principle of protection. but
before any one positively asserts this or that
about 1t he should at least know what he is
saying. Had tho Knights glanced at the free
list they would not have fallen into an error
which unless sharply corrected is likely to
damage the cause Of labor.

IL is very consoling 10 add, however,
that the intensely cold temperatures OF
the arctic are nearly always accom-
