A Boycott Suggested.

New YORK, Jan. Flames Hurley, mem
Der of one of the Tongshoremens unions, stated
yesterday that he thought the 'longshoremen
would come out solid to help the coal-miners, if
called upon, and if no coal received here
they would have to como out anyway. Mr..
Hurley said that if all the mines shut down the
scarcity of coal would put end to shipping,
as the steamers could not bring enough coal
from Liverpool to supply them on the return
trip. All the 1ongshoremen were not satisfied
with their wages. On ocean steamers they
ceived 80 cents hour for day work and 45
cents for nigh: work. and coast vessels 25
and As cents. The longshoremeu think of pitt

The Indian corn crop of 100000, 200
bushels is one of the superioritics of Amer
lea over England. So little is it known
in England that "corn" means any
grain, as wheat, oats, barley and rye. The
English climate is 50 cold. the summer
has so little hot sun, that not stalk of
corn can be grown. except under glass.
And 1t is one of the per,ersities of the
English character that the English peo-
pie cannot be induced to learn the num-
erous uses of corn meal for food.
Still more, this line Of remark applies
with like force to large portion of the
European population. This proves the
necessity, as well as the common sense of
fostering and increasing our home markets
for the sale of this splendid American
product. The raisers of our vast quanti-
ties of Indian corn must look for sales
chiefly to the increasing millions of the
United States, SO AS not TO sacrifice large
portion of its value for freight and other
expense o. handling. America for Amer
leans applies remarkably to this enormous
crop.
