Let the Joke Stay.

The statement that the only demand for
free coal comes from New England manu-
facturers is a moldy chestnut that has long
since found place in the waste basket of re-
iected jokes in company with the stale claim
that the superiority of our coal will maintain
its place in the market against all competi-
on.-Cumberland Ners.
The JOURNAL does not know who
sets up ''the stale claim" but it does
know that up to recent date nobody
of any consequence, with few ex-
ceptions, wanted free coal but 1.-THE
New England manufacturers"
If it is wanted now out in the West
and North West it is because the tariff,
in protecting our coal from foreign
competition, protects also the fuel out
there which has no foreign rivalry.
Perhaps the farmers out there be-
lieve there is more carbon IN free coal
than in unprotected wheat and, there
fore, better fit for fuel purposes.
And if democrats of Iowa, for in
stance, really do travel hand-in-hand
with New England republicans for
free coal, they probably learned the
trick from Senator Allson's celebrated
free coal bill of 1SSS-that same bill
that Mr.. McComas got amended with
out calling for committee of miners
to go to Washington.
The minnesota democrat" may be a
bad man from free trade creek, but he
has the merit of wanting to keep that
portion of his money which the tariff
did not intend to take out of his
pocket.
Not so with the New England high
protectionist, who, the Neps says
If made to suffer curtailment
Of profits, will demand cheaper fuel, and
will get it,
That is to say, the New Highlander,
now enjoying protective rate of over
80 per cent, if cut down to a tariff for
revenue basis--just where coal is, must
have coal free
This would not equalize the existing
relation between weaver and miner at
all, even though the weaver gets that
protection which thu tariff consigns
to him Ella the hands and option of his
employer.
Hence, We will ask the miner why
the weaver in the existing ease is en-
titled to twice the protection he (the
MINER isl
And the weaver's threat 10 get cheap
err fuel granted, why would he be en-
titled to twenty-five hundred times
more protection than the mineri
But does the weaver get the protee-
ton the tariff sends to himi
In % out Of lO0cases il never leaves
the employers hands. Several eases
are in evidence before the Ways aud
Means committee showing that the
workmen tor whom the tariff furnishes

tected rates Of wages aud sell the

Of that sum cut 10 the people who dig

The silver purchase law should have been
repealed last winter, and had the administra-
ton not changed on the fourth of last March
it would have been repealed. -Cumberland
Ners
Beloved reader, do you know that
if the Ne,os were published in Colorado
it would not print that statements
Because in Colorado the people re.
gard silver mining as just as vital to
their welfare as we do coal-mining to
ours.
But the Neacs says, in effect, that
Colorado should have been destroyed
''last winter" while its own party was
in power.
Moreover, that it would have been
done since but for the change Of ad-
ministration.
This is to say that the Ne,os' party
would have been engaged in destroy
ing Colorado miners at the same time
it was saving Georges, Creek miners
from destruction.
Somebody will endeavor to crawl
out of this dilemma, but the fact will
remain exactly as the Noble Order of
North America has preached to miners
world without end
The interest of one is the concern of all.
The citation from the Ne'os, however,
furnishes the JOURNAL with an oppor-
tunity to promulgate a sugar cured
thought, namely
That its own discussion of the in
justices and vices of high protection hi
not been waged from party stand
point, but to show the miners of this
region
l, That they are not specially pro
tected;-
2, That they are extremely fortunate
in being the employees of the only
corporations whom the JOURNAL knows
as distributing the little protection
their wolkmen have to those to whom
it belongs, and
3, That if disaster, more or less,
ensues from placing coal on the free
list, it will be an answer to the behest
of people already more highly protect
ed than the miners.

We are obliged to announce to the

A recent news item conveyed the
information that the Pocahontas coal
company had contracted to furnish the
White Star steamship line with 225, 900
tons of coal.
The difference in quality between
Pocahontas and Georges Greek coal is
too little to cut any figure in COMPETE

But if the Pocahontas company can
get $50 tons of that coal dug for
nothing, which the Georges Creek
operator cannot do, it is plain to see
where the Gamer comes in.

My young friends, do not be afraid
of poiteness. 1t will not hurt you.
Politeness teaches how to obey glad
ly, fenrlesslv and openly. The truly
polite child is a good son, a good
daughter. for politeness teaches him
the duty and respect he owes to bis
parents; he is a kind and grateful
brother; his very willingness TO help
his sister makes her feel better and
stronger He is true friend, for he
scorns the unkind words that wound
those who love him. Pol,teness and
charity are twins-they make the true
gentleman, the true gentle woman,
helpfu-, loving, unpretentions. TIL
world would be better if the young
boys and young girls, who are soon to
be our men and women, would obey
the watchword of true politeness,
which is Charity-Selected.

THE CASH PLAN vs. THE CREDIT
SYSTEM.

What blessed thing it would be if
everybody could adept the cash sys
tenn of doing business. How much
better it would be for both buyer and
seller, Many man has been ruined
by credit. And this applies as we'll
to the man vine buys as 1t does to the
one who sells. The credit system is
curse alike to beth. People are apt
to abuse their credit, buy things that
they could and would do without If
they had TO take the money out of
their pockets every time. The trou-
b e with many Of US is that we do
not practice economy as strictl as
we should, and where one runs an
account it is 80 easy to buy On credit
and have it charged, But we are
pleased to think that gradual change
is being worked along this line, and
the sooner the pay as YOU go'' plan
ls adopted the better off our
people will he. You may think hard
OF q man for refusing to credit you
but often he is doing You greater
favor in the long run than if he allow
ed you to open an account with hun.
Of cour se with some people 1t is not
always possible to get along without
credit, but they should be careful not
to abuse it and cause the man who
has hetriended them to suffer ON their
account. |: is true saying that
short accounts and prompt payments
make long friends.
Taxing the view OF the matter as
outlined above merch. ats and others
are each year endeavoring to come
nearer to the cash system Of doing
business, realizing that it is the only
correct way Of condu't t ng it SUCCESS
fully. To the dealers 1t means less
book accounts and the expenses aud
worry OF making collections and any
hard feelings that may arise between
himself a. customer over accounts.
Store accounts ihvnriunIy grow to
larger proportions than tne DEBTOR is
aware of and then follows dispute
with feeling on one side that charged
accounts have been made that were
never ordered, and on tae other slde
that injustice and loss have been sus
tanned by long credit. Make it cash
every time or its equivalent.
