A Productive Industry that may
be of Great Value to Ravenna
and Vicinity Goldman, Jones &
Goldman Is the Firm that will
Develop the Tract.
Those of our readers who were interested in
the article in the PRESS of August 3Oth, pertain
ing to the finding and mining of coal in Palmyra
will be still further edited to learn that Sheriff
Jones has never entirely abandoned his faith in
coal in this county. Nearly forty years ago Mr..
Jones and his brother Stephen opened a coal
mine in Freedom. and succeeded in supplying
sufficient fuel to run the "Augur Works" and to
furnish coal in moderate quantities to the neigh
boring farmers. The coal, as far as developed.
was in quality similar to Palmyra. Whey went
into the side hill fifty yards only. the water then
becoming unmanageable. and the Augur Works
suspending. the work was stopped. The roof was
blasted. and of gray slate the drift was about ~
feet high and feet wide. The Jones Brothers
mined under difficulties. wheeling out all the coal
on wheelbarrows. Facilities for mining coal
were not great in those days. modern pumps. &C.
being unknown, When they quit work the vein
was dipping at quarter pitch" gradually in
creasing. Cold weather and lack of means to
continue. together with limited market and
poor shipping facilities-all coal being delivered

Jones afterwards opened and worked the first
mine at Palmyra. and has never given up the idea
that coal. in paying quantities. was under the
earth in Freedom. So. after forty years absence
Mr.. Jones concluded to look over the old stamp
ing ground" and in company with G. Fl. Goldman
he reviewed the tract. and was convinced that
the coal was still there" 1t was then proposed
that company be formed and the mine devel-
oped. The project was laid before D. c. Cool
man, and after examination of the property
that gentleman Joined the team, and they have
leased several hundred acres in Freedom town
ship, and this Fall will be producing coal and
prospecting for more. The tract is located with
| in less than a mile of the N.Y.P. & o. Ry., near
the Lime Ridge" and Mr.. Jones says that the
prospects are first rate-better than they were in
Palmyra originally. The owners of the land are
to be congratulated upon having leased to mer
so well and favorably known at home. and who
intend to ''see what's there" and if turns ou
as may be reasonably expected. the farmers will
get heap more money out of the bowels of tht
earth than from the surface of their farms. W.
hope that the firm cf GOODMAN. JONES & CooLNAn
will find us good fuel, and at as low a cost a
possible. and if so it may be fairly surmised thai
Ravenna will be the gamer in many ways.

A REPUBLICAN BREAK.
REDUCTION OF THE TARIFF

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Mr, Paddock
republican, addressed the senate ycstcr,
day in criticism of the tariff bill Thcr,
was no dissent in the republican party
he said, as to such protection as would
cover the difference in the cost of labor
between the United States and foreign
countries. lie should be glad il he could
follow the majority of the finance com
inittcc, but regretted that he could not
see his way clearly to it as to all sections
The agricultural West, he sad, never fa'
vorcd aNhlgh protective duty, but favored
sufficient protection to cover the differ
cnce in wages, while at the same time the
scmblance at least of foreign markets
was kept.
The West regarded a "rcvision of the
tariff as meaning "a reduction of the
tariff when possible. and he was conf
dent that the demand for lower range
would have to receive an early and iav'
orablc response from congress. Many OF
those duties, he said, now believed to b,
too high had long ago done the work
which had first justified their imposition
The sentiment was growing and the be-
lici was fixed conviction in the West,
at least as to some industries, that the
decreased cost of production should now
he met by II greater decrease of duties
than the manufacturers had yet been
willing to accept, The people Of the

alone. their hands should be forcibly re-
leased from the high protection to which
