A hearing was given to ]. y. Moore, the

the general subject OF the tariff, as ne said

He began by laying down propositions,
first, that the present tariff is in contradic-
ton to protection as long as raw materials
which enter into manufactured articles are
taxed; and, second, that the tariff, as at
present, is unable to keep importations out
Of the country, while it Imposes enormous
burdens upon the consumer. Upon these

PROSPECT FOR a DISAGREEMENT.
Coke Men and Operators Wide Apart
in Their Views.

Coke Men and Operators Wide Apart
in Their Views.
ScoTTDALE, Pa, Jan. 10.-The coke
operators to whom the miners new scale
was presented yesterday have made COM
parative statement of wages now paid and
those called for in the new scale, to de-
termine the percentage of advance the new
scale called for at the present price of coke.
1t is claimed by the operators that the ad-
vance would be from so to 60 per cent.
over present wages. In some Instances the
percentage reaches 125.
This, they claim, is an outrageous ad-
vance, and at the present selling price Of
coke their operators would lose money if
they paid the scale.
The men are determined to stand firm for
the advance, and are anxious to see what
the operators are going TO do.
