sURgERINe ARp IT'S CAUSE.

A Eingle item Of recent news suggests one Of
tho greatest and most difficult problems Of
modern society. In the anthracite region, IL
is stated. fully 10000 miners Of the Reading
Company, and from 10000 10 400 In all.
ara idle and have been fer many weeks, and
there iS great suffering among them and their
families Il isnot q question Of wages OF pres
ent, The men would gladly work at the wages
which are paid when anybedy'is employed The
companies would gladly work them and work
the mines II o market could be found for al
the coal that could be mined But It n sold
that The accumulation Of coal al Port Richmond
is already larger than. at any other time for
thirty years, Assuming these statements 10
be- true. is there not something wrong bore
Where does the blame lie, ortis tho Frfering
only Q result Of accident 81 misfortune. for
which nobody is 10 blsme2
According TO the census there were employed
10000 personsyin mining es,o0o,o geo tons Of
anthracite nine years ago, About 400 tons
fer eaoh person employed were then sent to
MARKET and last year, though many Of the
mines were stepped for long time by stikes,
the output was 80, 100000 tons and this would
imply, considering that some weeks Of time
were partially lost, the employment Of over
100000 persons--an increase Of 40 per cent
In nine years, though the population consuming
anthracite has not increased 80 per cent. The
fact is, that the increase in number of persons
employed has been even greater. Yet the
actual consumption last year was about half q
million tons less than the output. Why should
there be an increase in the output far beyond
the demand for consumption, and still creator
increase in the producing capacity and number
of hands emploSedp
An obvious cause is the compact between
producers to maintain prioes'so far above the
cost Of production that even those companies
which have the heaviest debts and stocks can
earn large profits on their great capital. This
inevitably draws more producers into the bust
ness, and incites all who are In II already TO
increase their power Of production 10 the ut
most, 30 that In any allotment they may get as
much as possible. Then the men empleyed
must Of necessity have wages enough TO live
Through considerable periods Of idleness. and
that involves permanently higher cost Of pro-
duction. Nevertheless, when the Surplus &c
cumulstes, and the stoppage "a longer than
usual, there must result great suffering for
many and absolute starvation for some.
Thus IL comes TO pass that great industry,
which ought to be one Of the surest and most
steadily remunerasiye both for employers and
employed, has been transformcd into one Of
the most powerful engines Of suffer
ing and wrong. By which tho very
lives arc crushed out Of human be-
ings, while many millions of invested capltal
ara rendered insecure. The root Of the evil

A compromise has been patched up By the

whether ID can be carried through Is open TO
grave doubt. Since the compromise involves

FoR THE FLORIDA ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Grahamville. Fla.

| agree with Mr.. Dudley w. Adams when
he expresses the opinion that the next
Congress will refuse to grant the dollar
per box duty asked by the Florida orange
growers, but at the same time | would
attract his attention to the fact that
California, by her vote at the November
election, said we want tariff on oranges
and as Congress can t put duty on Cal
ifOrnia and leave it off of Florida, Mr.
Adams evidently was not thinking of the
Pacific State when he penned his article
found in the AGRICULTURIsT of December
the 9Th.
| would also like to attract the atten-
ton of the readers of the AGRICULTURIsT
to the fact that Legislative bodies in gen
eral and the Washington Congress in par
ticulardonot spend much thought about
the interest of either the horticulturist or
the agriculturist. We're this not the fact
there would be a tariff on q heap of things
that come in from foreign countries. /
will here give one article, viz: Irish pOta-
toes, that come into the cities of Boston
and New York in schooner loads from
Prince Edwards Island and other British
Provinces free of duty. The crop of Irish
potatoes was very poor last year and
had there been duty on them the farm
ers of the United States might have got
tariff prices; but no, the Scotch farmers
were allowed to send over their pauper
raised potatoes, and if mistake not 20
tatoes are raised largely in Pennsylvania
SO you see, Mr.. Adams, the State that is
the very hot-bed of protection has none
for her agriculturist and | suppose too
they as well as Florida farmers pay ten
cents pound for their sugar and are also
to- rNf N1o)c
sugar bill. Do we not still pay two dol
lars barrel bounty on every barrel sent
out of thecountry? Can we not buy sugar
in New York for three and one-half cents
for export, when at the same time wepay
seven cents for home use, and all this time
tens of thousands of boxes of oranges
(culls) go to waste for the reason that
sugar is too dear to use to convert them
into either marmalade or Jelly? If Con-
gress would so legislate that we could buy
(American) sugar at the same price the
British buy it a large trade would spring
up in jellies and marmalades; and this,
need not say, would give employment to
hundreds of men. But these are the kind
of manufactures that have to jog along
the best way they can and compete with
all kinds of pauper labor, and these will
remain facts SO long as the farmers OF
Florida and the other States remain in
their present apathetic state.
After writing the above | received the
AGRICULTURIsT of December the Goth and
to E. M. Hale's question, "Where was the
senator from California beg to give
my opinion of the honored senator, from
LIES study OF party politics and poll
ticians, and if am correct the senator
from California is quite satisfied with his
partys triumph last November. His
State can well afford to pay $1.25 and
$3.50 per day for labor to cultivate their
vineyards and orange groves and com
pete with italian and Spanish labor at
twenty and thirty cents a day.
