testhnts who were declared entitled to the
seats held by Senators Morse and Horton,
arrived at the Capitol, and were immedi-
ately sworn in. When the Senate con-
vened, they took their seats against the
protest of the Republicans. This action
can not possibly be undone, and insures
the passage OF the Democratic Congress
sional reapportionment bill and the still
more important measure providing for the
election of Presidential electors by Con-

EXPORTING COAL.
Where Our Coal Invades the Foreign
Market-FolIy of the Duty on Coal.

Where Our Coal Invades the Foreign
Market-Folly of the Duty on Coal.
The rosy reciprocity hopes of pro-
tectionist journal move it to point out
that the opening of new markets to the
south of us will cause lines of steamers
to be established between our southern
ports and points in the "austral repub-
lies" 1t is pointed out that Brunswick
and Mobile will have heavy interests
in the new ocean trade, especially in
the transport of coal to Tampa. the
West Indies and Honduras, it being
proposed to run some thirteen lines of
steamers from these two southern ports.
But it is claimed by most protection
lists that the duty of seventy-fve cents a
ton on coal Is necessary to protect our
coal operators from the pauper coal of
other lands. We exported during the
last fiscal year 1881 600 tons Of coal.
valued at 1856, 900, against imports of
only $3.50 tons, worth s.. 0S1 600. The
pretense that we need protection on coal
in the face of such figures is utterly
ridiculous.
More than half our coal exported goes
to Canada-to the provinces Of Quebec,
Ontario and Manitoba. On the other
hand, it is from British Columbia that
more than half our imports come. As
there is scarcity of coal in our Pacific
states, and as those states are remote
from eastern sources of supply. the price
of coal iii California, Oregon and Wash
ington is very high. Thus 81, zoe, 900
worth of coal is brought in from British
Columbia despite the duty. Even the
British possessions in Australasia supply
California with nearly a million dollars
worth of coal.
The next largest buyers o. our coal,
after Canada, are Cuba, which takes
$760,000 worth, and Mexico, which takes
about $4,000, 900 worth. The export to
Cuba is largely from the great Pocahon-
tas mines in southwest Virginia This
coal is transported all the way to Nor
folk, about 300 miles, by rail, and is then
shipped to Cuba by vessels which are
engaged in transporting iron ore from
that island to Pennsylvania and Mary
land.
Free coal would do absolutely nc harm
to our mining industry, and would be
great boon to the Pacific states and to
New England. The latter is in easy
reach by water of the coal deposits of
Nova Scotia, and New England manu-
facturers say that free coal would be of
great benefit to their mills. Heavy
freights by rail from Pennsylvania place
an unnecessary burden upon their in
dustries. The duty on coal is of no ad-
vantage to the larger part of our coal
mine owners, except when they want to
take advantage of it to combine and con-
troll prices and output. In this way the
coal duty is frequently made use of by
the operators to the disadvantage of
other sections of the country besides
those lying ON the seacoast.

disease as punishment for sin:

On the warpath Again.

Judge Lawrence, one of the political
wool shepherds of Ohio, is trying to have
the treasury department rule that all as
sorted carpet woods shall pay double
duty. As it is, the duties are much
higher than under the old law, and have
already caused the price of carpets to
advance 10 per cent. or more. Manu-
facturers of carpets say that if Judge
Lawrence succeeds in getting the deci-
sion he is demanding many classes of
carpet wool Will be absolutely shut out
of the country. As we raise practically
no carpet wool ourselves, our CARPET
makers will thus be compelled to con-
fine their operations to the less desirable
imported woods. We imported S3,000,-
600 pounds of carpet wool last year,
which was more than three-quarters of
our entire imports of wool.
A previous achievement of Judge Law
renee was to get the treasury depart
ment to tax common goats hair at the
rate of combing woods, thus excluding it
from the country. As he is again on the
warpath the carpet makers are said to
stand in fear and trembling, hardly
knowing whether to order certain for
eign woods lest decision should be
made taxing them at double rate be-
fore they should reach New York. The
political shepherd is inexorable; he has
recently declared that he wants all i'm
ports of wool and hair to be prohibited.

Another Tariff Trust.

The work of building up tariff trusts
still goes on. One of the latest achieve
ments in that line is thus reported by
The Iron Age, leading protectionist
trade paper:
1.-THE negotiations which have been in
progress for some time between, the
manufacturers Of strap and I hinges
have resulted in the formation of a strap
and hinge association, which consists
ofthe following concerns: Stanley works,
Mckinley Manufacturing company, E.
w. Gilmore 81 Co, Lindsay & McCutch-
con, G. Hager & Sons Hinge company.
ANEW list has been adopted. The new
prices represent an advance on the goods
generally ranging from to 10 per cent
on strap hinges and something like 90
percent. on 7 hinges"
The old duty on these hinges was two
apd.a half cents pound, and was prac-
tically prohibitory, only 81, 377 worth of
bolts, rivets, hinges and hinge blanks
having been imported last year. Nc
Kinley made the trifing reduction of a
quarter of a cent per pound, leaving the
rate still substantially prohibitory, as
may be seen from the fact that this
hinge trust is able to raise prices from 5
to 90 per cent.
Thus one by one the industries of the
country are combining TO defeat the
very competition which we are told that
protection was designed to promote. An
important trade paper has recently as
serted that nine-tenths of the industries
of this country are now controlled by
trusts and combinations. Most of these
are of course made by the tariff
But let them go on and do their work
They are, as a Republican organ has
said, ''the deadly enemies of the pro-
tectiye system" These trusts are edu-
eating the people, as nothing else can,
INTO a knowledge of protection and its
Ibeauties. Let the trusts multiply and
prosper till the people rise in their might
and crush out the whole protective sys-
tenn which fosters them.

DO NOT mIss ONE OF THEm,


The efforts OF the United States govern
ment TO render the Indian tribes self sup
porting and industrious have been most
successful in cases where it has been pos
sible to take advantage of and develop some
kind of industry already known among
them in at least rudimentary form.
With such tribe as the Navajos, for in
stance, the government has had no trouble
since the wars with the tribe ceased, be-
cause these Indians are natural horse and
sheep raisers. They have been able to sup
port themselves by dealing in horses and
sheep. An attempt to make them farmers
in the sense known in the eastern states
would probably have not only failed, but
would have demoralized the Indians and
made them dependent upon the govern
rlent
Other far western tribes of Indians have
s1bsisted largely in the past by digging
roots which grew spontaneously over a
great extent of country. 1t is hoped that
these Indians, now that they no longer
have free range over vast tract, may be
easily taught that they can make living
By planting other kinds of roots on a more
limited area.
One OF the difficulties with which the
government has to contend in the process
OF civilizing the great mass of the Indians
now classed as wild is the fact that they
occupy country of dry plains, where very
little agriculture was practiced when the
Indians were in their primitive state, and
where it was comparatively easy and pleas
art to derive a living from the herds of
buffalo and other game that were to be
found ranging the plains.
Such people must almost be made over
again in order to be rendered agricultural
But they have kindly feeling toward cat
tie which are a sort of natural successors
to the buffalo They make excellent herd
ers and very good drivers of oxen.
Cattle raising, therefore, seems to be the
natural means of civilizing these Indians:
and they are being encouraged with gifts
of stock and instruction in the best means
of taking care of it-Youths Companion
