FrKcIAL TELECKAM TO THE D1srA1cH.

1nentS Tor the W. eek.
FPKcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1srArcH
SCoTTDALE, April IG.-The coke market is
improving rapidly, despite the strike Last
week over 5000 tons of coke were shipped
from the region. and the amount will
be almost doubled this week, If the ratio of
gain continues Many of the operators are
disposed to take far more hopeful view Of
the situation than they did a fortnight since.
The demand, although still much depressed bv
the idlenesS of so many furnaces, is stitfeni1g
up and notable increase has occurred within
the last few days. The increase in Western
shipments was almost phi en0menal, and there is
well-grounded opinion that former confidence
in the market will soon be restored.
Pittsburg and Eastern shipments also showed
up comparatively well. According to the
statements of operators, there are ~ plants out
OF S3 IN the district in active operation and nine
~ part. OF this number the Pennsville. Mt.
BraddOck aud Percy plants are working under
an arrangement with the labor organization,
while the Others are not. There are about
Z6OO active ovens, while the idle list will reach
probably $500 The vigorous movement IN
auEuTated by the operators Tor a general re-
sumption Is adding ovens TO the active list al
most daily. The Calumef Company made a
start az Their Calumet plant OF rs ovens.
The Mcclure Company have 81 ovens fired at
Painter and 20 at Coalbrook. Raiuey's four
plants are Stlll in full operation while Frick has
Adelaide, JimtOwn and Sterling in full, and a
number IN part. The Cora plant of 42 ovens
anu lne SnesIer plant OF y, are running to their
capacity. shipments last week averaged l4l
cars per day as against lI3 cars of
the previous week The total increase
was 10y cars. The following was the record of
consignmepJs: To points west of Pittsburg.
600 cars; 10 flttsburg and river tippes, 65 cars;
to points east of Pittsburg, rs cars; total, $40.
This is the record for the week before: TO

ThoS. B. Reed.

The Nashua Telegraph, whose ed
itOr, Hon. 0. G.. Moore, was a mem
Der of the last House of Representa-
tives, has the following in regard to
Speaker Reed:
"There was no good reason why the
democratic members of the House
should not have joined the republic
ans in their compliment to Speaker
Reed. Every man on the democrat
ic side knows that no abler man ever
occupied the speakers chair. The
men who have watched Mr.. Reed for
two years can not be mistaken as to
his ability. Through all those weary
days and months he has been as pune
tual as the clock. He has not lost
week in the two sessions. He has
never lost his temper however exas-
perating or turbulent the situation.
His poise and GOODNESS are remarka-
BILE. He has never failed to decide a
point of order with such clearness and
exactness as to disarm all opposition.
Again and again he has silenced the
most captious of democrats by the
sheer force and precision of his state
ment. His rulings have never been
overruled. Looking down upon him
from the galleries one day, we heard
President Bartlett of Dartmouth col
lege declare that Mr.. Reeds GOODNESS
and self-possession had profoundly
impressed him. Such no doubt will
be the verdict of scholars and states
men for all time.
1t is nonsense for even democrats
to deny that the speaker has been i'm
partial. In fact it has been a COM
plant often heard on the republican
side that he has given the democrats
more than their share of recognition.
They have done two-thirds of the
talking in both sessions, and they
have been defeated in their opposi-
ton not by the speakers weight but
by the weight of numbers. The fact
is no speaker who cares a rush for
his reputation will be other than i'm
partial. He knows that his rulings
and conduct will be relentlesslv re-
vlsed by succeeding congresses and
generations. He has every incentive
to touch bottom every time. Mr..
Reed will be quoted long after other
speakers are dead and forgotten.
No man ever maintained the digni-
ty of his office with more faultless de-
corum. The caricaturist who repre-
sents Mr.. Reed with his feet on his
desk has a very inadequate idea of
the man. Mr.. Reed is decorous and
punctilious almost to fault. Other
speakers have been more graceful and
courtly, but none more dignifed. Mr.

Congressional Funerals.

If certain kind of proceeding
goes on at Washington much longer
the people of the United States will
be compelled to elect men to Con-
gress upon condition that they do not
die during a session. The cost 20
the government of congressional fu-
nerals has become tremendous.
In the not very old times the fu-
neral of a member of Congress was
thought to be pretty expensive if
5000 was spent. Now it is said that
$1,000 will not cover the cost to
the government of Senator Hearst's
funeral, the funeral of Senator Miller
of California cost S80,000 that Of
Senator Beck of Kentucky S52, 900
and many other similar sums have
been spent. The explanation is that
a good many of the great men sent
to Washington regard a funeral as a
junket, and queer stories are told of
the pains taken to get places on The
mourning committees.
The country wants to treat men
who die at Washington with all re-
spect and without niggardliness, but
the extravaganza should be stopped,
and anything like junketing at funer-
ais ought to be straightway made i'm
possible.

The Canadian Election

Sir John Macdonald knew his
game when he went before the peo-
pie so suddenly. He saw that the
depressed condition of business in
Canada was driving people to de-
mand reciprocity with this country.
Had he let things drift on much long
er he would have been against him
on the face of it. With Sir John it
was a choice between two evils-a
short, sharp campaign that might
end in a nominal victory, or a de-
ferred campaign Of greater length
that was morally certain to end in
defeat. He chose the former, fought
for dear life, and came off quite as
he could have expected. In the last
parliament he had a majority of fifty
one, but the returns from the cleo
ton OF March ), indicate that in the
next parliament that majority will be
reduced to twenty-siX. The cam
paign was unusually bitter and eX-
citing. 1t is not hard to explain the
result. Sir John used every strateg-
advantage. He gave the liberals
no time to make a thorough campaign.
He played on the thorough instincts
the people. He made deal with
the Canadian Pacific railroad, which
is very powerful influence in Cana
da. He induced the Catholic clergy
of the lower provinces to support
him actively. This they were ready
to do because, having special privi
leges under English rule, they fear
annexation, which would probably
involve a loss of some of these priv
ileges. Very few of the liberals fa-
vor political union with this country,
but Sir John has put them in that
light, much to the injury of the lib
eral cause. The conservative gov
Ci ihhl0Ht 10 oe'I0 LOl q CILh0' w 1'lA "P
pearances, but it can hardly be
doubte that day of reckoning is in
store for it. The next election will
find the liberals better organized, land
the hard times which are likely to
continue in Canada will be eloquent
and persuasive pleaders in behalf of
reciprocity WdtcbmUR.

Imports and Exports.

1t is now nearly five months since
the Mckinley tariff bill passed the
present congress and became opera
tive as the tariff law of the United
/ States. Within one month after the
passage of the law it was attacked as
fiercely and hotly by democratic ora
tors and demagOgues as a vicious and
/ reprehensible law which was aimed
/ at the interests of the American peO-
pie. 1t was stated emphatically that
as soon as the effects Of the bill could
make themselves visible the foreign
trade of the United States would fall
Off rapidly and that ''the exports of
agricultural products would be great
lv diminished" The new tariff law
has now had time to show the evil
effects and the prophets of their keen
discernment. The recently issued
statement of foreign commerce pub
lished by the treasury depart
ment, does not bear out their predic-
tions in any respect.
The amount of importations on
which duty was during the months of
October, November and December
were S72 100000, 100000 and
$50, 100000 respectively, as against
S68, 100000, 59,OOO,OOO and $780,
100000 during the previous year. In
January, however, the importations
fallen to 1000, ,O0O,as against $63-
100000 in 1890 and sos, 100000 in
1889. That is to say, that within
four months after the bill had be-
come a law, in spite of the immense
importations that had been made in
anticipation of the act, the imports
have fallen 81 100000 below those
of the same month in the preceding
year. This has been accomplished
without any perceptible rise in prices,
the price lists of the leading whole
sale houses in New York showing no
material change from those of year
ago. If that means anything at all,
it means that the Mckinley bill,
without increasing the cost of manu-
factures except during very brief
period of time Immediately following
the passage of that bill, has unques-
tionably benefited the American man
ufacturer at the expense of his for
eign competitor.
According to the theory Of inter-
national barter this would mean that
as the foreign countries which sell
less to the United States would buy
SO much less from this country. I'm
fortunately for the success of the the
DRY, the facts do not accord with the
supposition. The exports of the UNI
ted States for January amounted to
$50, 100000, which was S7,000,000
greater than those Of the previous
year, S9,000,00 more than in 1889,
100000 more than in 1888, $11,-
0OO,O more than in 1887, and $685.
000,00 more than in 1886. There
is no fault to be found with such a
showing, even by the most critical.
The United States during the month
of January, 1891 has bought 81 ,O0O-,
900 less of merchandise and sold ST.
100000 more than a year ago, net
profit of 100000 over January,
1890.

What Reciprocity Means.

1t will be remembered that when
Secretary Blame first announced his
reciprocity project the democratic
and mugwump free traders loudly
welcomed him to their ranks, but the
secretary declined to take the hand
of fellowship, explaining that recip-
rocitv between two countries did not
mean free trade to all the world. Now
reciprocity with Brazil is an estab-
lished fact the democrats are again
proclaiming it to be a victory for free
trade, aud the Albany Journal calls
them to order, making the following
statements:
Every republican protectionist in
congress last fall voted for the reci-
procity clause of the Mckinley law,
under which the agreement with
Brazil was reached. Every free trade
demo crat voted against it.
Reciprocity with Brazil is a Nc
Kinley provision.
Reciprocity with Brazil does not
impair our protective system one iota.
Reciprocity with Brazil is in har-
mony and consistency with protective
principles.
Reciprocity with Brazil is a pro-
tective means of extending the foreign
trade of the United States,
Reciprocity with Brazil is confoun-
ding the enemies of protection and
leading democrats into the commits
sion of nonsensical blunders.

Americas Shipping Revival
Begun.

The we'll known life ambition of
Mr.. Austin Corbin has been to cre-
ate and equip a steamship line to
cross the ocean in five days between
Montauk Point, Long Island, and
Milford Haven, England. The pro-
ject is perfectly feasible with vessels
capable of steaming twenty-fOur
miles per hour, and that it is likely
to be carried out. The Postal Sub
sidy bill passed at the close of the
recent session of Congress has en-
couraged Mr.. COrbin and other cap
italists to subscribe S12 100000 to
build a fleet of eight steel steamships
of ,2000 tons burden each, and es-
tablish this new transatlantic line.
When it is considered that these
new ships will be entirely of Ameri-
can construction, that they will be
made from plans approved by the
Secretary of the Navy, that they will
be manned by American mails, the
wisdom of Congress in passing the
Postal Subsidy bill will be indorsed
from one end Of the country to an
other. This great enterprise is the
harbinger of the general revival of
American shipping, which was pre-
dicted for that bill.
The projected line will mean much
to ocean travellers who are "poor
Sailors" by reason of the cutting off
a of day or more of discomfort.
New York and London will be linked
by closer ties when they are only five
days and six hours apart by rail and
steamship. But the best feature of
announcement is the one already en-
phasized that the revival of Ameri-
can shipping is begun.

Our Trade With Canada.

If the New England farmers have
the idea, says the Greenfield Gazette
and Courier, that reciprocity with
Canada is desirable for them they
that forget that Canada, instead of
furnishing markets for farm products
under any sort of free trade, would
be the most serious competitor for
New England markets. The Boston
Globe has been uIging reciprocity as
a means of opening Canadian trade
for Eastern farmers, but the state
ment just published of the agricul-
tural products as we sold her. In
horses, we received $1,887, 1895, and
returned S94, ,440; of sheep bought
of her, $761, ,565 and sold S107, ,674 +;
of eggs bought 81, ,793, ,1O4 and sold
S89, ,444; of potatoes bought of her,
$208,91 and sold none; of hay re-
ceived 1922, ,797 and sent her none
So far as New England is concerned
the Canadian markets are worthless
while the competition of cheap, de-
graded Canadian farming is serious
injury. The Mckinley act tries to
correct tEis and time will show the
result

Mast was so impressed by this that
he saw no other man in that House of
$50 members. OF all the men called
to the chair in the last two years he
alone could command that House at
all times and under all circumstance
es. We doubt if there is another man
in America who could have done it so
successfully.
He will be heard from again.
Among $50 men he will easily be
number one, and it will make very
little difference whether the majority
is democratic or republican. Where
McGregor sits there will be the head
of the table. Wait and see.'

A banquet was held at Chattanoo-
ga, Tenn, on the 10th inst. which
has a doleful interest for the free
traders who constantly proclaim the
new tariff to be the enemy of every
American interest. The banquet
was held under the auspices of the
Chattanooga steel company, and Gel
ebrated the successful establishment
of the American tin plate industry,
giving employment eventually to hun
dreds and thousands of American
workmen. The service for the occa-
sion will be made wholly of Ameri-
can tin plate and the table ware, is
now being prepared at the Niedring-
haus works in St. Louis. The steel
is made at Chattanooga from south
ern ore. The plates are rolled and
timed at ST. Louis. Finally, to
make the American character of the
product complete beyond the most
