they sped them away in the mails up

a fragrant message from the Land of
Flowers 1t was striking revelation
of the contrast between the semi
tropical and frozen belts-so impress
i've, indeed, that the JOURNAL has

however, wishes them much and keen
enjoyment of their fortunate environ
ment, and that they will return home
soon accompanied by the spring-time.

This document for 1890, now in
press, is in the main as follows:
OAKLAND Mp, December 81, 1890
Hon. +. E. JACKSON, Governor of Maryland.
SIR: In compliance with the law | have
the honor to herewith submit my report
covering the operations of the coal fields Of
Maryland which are embraced in the cOun-
ties of Allegany and Garrett, for the year
1890
When have given the output of coal, ac
cidents, &c, l think | will have done all the
law contemplates.
While many and important improvements
have been adopted by nearly all the com
panies within the last year for the better pro-
lection of miners and mines, as well as tacil-
itate mining and shipping operations yet l
deem it more proper to refer to them in my
next annual report to Your Excellency and
the Legislature.
The output of coal for 1890 is three million
two hundred and thirty-o thousand one
hundred and eighty-seven tons an increase
over 1889 Of one hundred and twenty-four
thousand five hundred and seventeen tons.
This output has ueCeSstated for the year the
expenditure of at least two million dollars,
fact which should justly place this great in
dustry second in importance to none in the
State, yet | regret to say that with but one
exception it has never been recognized i'll the
slightest manner by the executives of the
State.
have no change in the present law to rec
ommend believing as | do, that it is well
adapted to the conditions in the region, and
affords ample protection to both operators
aud miners.
| have had but few complaints on the part
of the miners, and these have been mutually
and amicably redresSed when brought to the
attention OF the employers.
There were eight fatal accidents during the
year 1890 which was one for every four
hundred and three thousand eight hundred
and ninety eight tons of coal mined. While
this is an increased death-rate over last year,
it is gratifyingly small when compared with
the statistics of the mining regions of other
States of the Union.
The already great demand for our coal
continues to grow in volume, but regret to
say that one of the chief rawbaCks to in
creased production Is found in the want of
commensurate transportation faclities-a
want, however, which | have reason to be-
lieve will be remeded in the near future.
The lists of accidents will be found
appropriately arranged and placed.
In conclusion, 1t affords me pleasure to say
that peace good feeling and prosperity pre-
vail throughout the region as probably never
before. | have the honor to remain
Your obedient servant,
r. T. BROWNING,
Inspector of Mines.
The InsI ector was unable to obtain
the full number of miners employed in
the region, and in some of those re-
ported, he informs us the average for
the year was given. From the best
data obtainable a census would find
about 3. 100. OF these LOO averaged
over $500 wages for the year, some
going to nearly 5000, none lower than
1913. The remaining | 400 averaged
from $476 down to 1920. The huctuat
ing character of the work in many
mines tends to reduce the average of
pay. The general pro rata was

An Evidence OF Weakness


Every established local newspaper
receives subscriptions from large
cities which puzzle the publisher, but
which the New York Times explains
as folows
A wholesale merchant in the city who be
came rich in the business says his rule is that
whenever he sells bill of goods on credit
he immediatly subscribes for the local news
paper of his debtor. So long as the customer
advertised vigorously, the merchant was
satisfied, but as soon as he began to contract
his advertising space the fact was taken for
evidence that there was trouble ahead and
the creditor invariably went for the debtor
The merchant said that the man who is too
poor to make his business known is too poor
to do business. The withdrawal of an ''ad''
is evidence of weakness which wholesale men
are not slow to act upon.
To this the Morgantown (W. Va.)
Neao DOmini0n adds:
Every country newspaper publisher ought
to give the above prominent space in his
columns for the benefit of the business COM
munity in which his paper circulates.
Several years ago the JOURNAL was
in a Wholesale house in Baltimore.
one of the prorpietors of which was a
boyhood contemporary of the great
paper as an individual.
"How is - getting along ?" asked
the gentleman alluded to.
30, quite we'll, So far as | know
replied the JOURNAL.
''How does he stand in a business
way? Is he enterprising Does he
reach out for trade % persisted the
merchant.
SHE stands well and does well" SAID
the JOURNAL, always anxious to report
fatteringly of its neighbors.
but he doesn't advertise in your
paper-how is that ?"
Here was sumner. The JOURNAL
was obliged to confess that the Frost
burg merchant ''did not believe in ad-
vertlsing."
The unfavorable impression made by
this Intelligence was very perceptible.
What the next result was is perhaps
not known outside the house. But
this is certain-the Frostburg man is
not now in business, and certain
drummer, accustomed to haunting his
store once month, Is hardly ever
seen on our streets.
That one circumstance may not have
occasioned the denOuement but the
JOURNAL is satisfied that the principle
involved did effect it
