Canadian and Maryland Coal.

Under the aboye caption the Balti-
more San says:
The question of bituminous coal is now
largely occupying the attention of the New
England press. The annual consumption of
soft coal in the factories of that section is six
million tons, and the theory there is that the
tariff of IS cents ton adds just that much to
the cost, namely, that for the protection of
the coal industries of Maryland, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia the New England manu-
featuring industry is taxed S4,5O0,000 each
year.
This yerifes exactly what the JOUR-
NAL has contended for all along-that
whenever the tariff on GOALS abolished,
if eyer, it will be in answer 10 high.
protection New England demand.
The Sun continues:
This is entirely different from the New
England conception of what tariff ought to
be, and its repeal will be urgently demanded
when the time comes.
Just so. New England is for pro
lection" only of its own interests.
The fraternity of protection" does
not bind it to even friendly con-
Germ for Georges Creek. Indeed, it
will throw fraternity and even loyalty
overheard to get free coal. 1t will
break down that Chinese Wall, other
wise so impregnable, to get free coal !!
A stranger feature of the situation,
however, is visible right here at home.
The unconcern manifested in New Eng
land for our welfare indeed, the Neo
England acar upon the cery little protection
eoe haze arouses no resentment toward
those who are actually waging it..
The miners seem to be still gullible by
the same old lies. At this moment,
with the New England papers preach
ing free coal, they ignore the open
treason to "protection" thus apparent,
and still give credence to the colossal
absurdity that nobody is or can be
concerned in obtaining coal free of
duty but the democrats!
But outside of Pennsylvania every
State interested in the tariff on coal is
normally democratic
Now miners, with "high protection
States demanding that democratic
product shall come to them free, and
with democratic States resisting that
demand before democratic court,
which side is going to win?
That question embodies the situation.
Study it, miners, and then inquire
honestly-upon what principle or
pretext the democrats of Pennsylvania,
Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia
and Alabama, are going to yield un-
selfshly the little advantage they have
to the hoggish greed of their political
enemies in New England :?
The miners of this region should not,
therefore, fear. With all their parti-
san perverseness, they will be saved
from thei, friends-saved in spite of
themselves.

The Very Thing.

In spite Of all the JOURNAL can do
to make the Cumberland Neeos happy
it still clings with fear to the gorgons
of democratic disenchantment. This
time it finds fault with tariff reform
scholarship
The appointment of Mr.. Wilson, chairman
of the committee of ways and means of the
House. will not do much to restore public
confidence. Mr.. Wilson achieved his repu-
tation by his ability to theorize in a scholarly
manner upon the subject ofthe tariff. His
closest friends will not insist that his ideas
are practical, or that he knows anything of
the working of the tariff by experience. He
is simply a dreamer-a poet-a critic-who
may do more damage in six months by using
his present. opportunities to crystalize some
of his impracticable schemes into national
legislation than can be remeded in two
years.
The JOURNAL differs with the Neacs.
There is nothing impractical in
bringing overtaXed commodities down
to a level with coal, for instance; in
other words, down to revenue basis.
Why should not miners want such
reduction Why should miners want
to be compelled to pay higher rate
for protecting other industries than
their own enjoys9 Indeed, why should
they want to pay twice as much rate
to the weavers of their blankets as they
get themselves? Why should they
want to be compelled to do this and
take their lives in their hands every
morning besides9
We repeatedly should these lovers
Of liberty want to be compelled to pay two
rates and get only one?
We ask these questions because Mr..
Wilson's scholarship takes in the pre-
eminent and incontestable facts that
the tariff on coal is already down to
the revenue basis that miners are
sellers only of labor thus incidentally
protected, and buyers of nearly all
highly protected manufactured arti-
Giles. He knows that the miners op.
portunities and privileges as seller
are limited, while his obligations and
necessities as buyer are innumerable
and unavoidable. He knows, in short
that of all the protected workingmen,
the miners, deserving the most, are pro.
tected the least.
Moreover, he comes from a district
underlaid with coal along a belt l5(
miles long and of varying widths. In
fact, every pound of what the Ne'o
calls Cumberland coal' that is dug
in West Virginia comes from his dis
trict. This he is bound to take care OF
or out of Congress he goes. In taking
care of his own he saves our trade.
That coal will not go on the free list
is doubly sure! Speaker Crisp coult
not have otherwise more effectually &C
complished that object if he had beer
under a guarantee to do 1t.
The consequenceis-the unthinking
credulous miners of Georges Creek are
more fortunate than they have de
! served.

MiStakpSC Corrected,

The Ledger errs when it imagines the
JOURNAL is prejudiced against its
motor.
The JOURNAL is opposed to motors,
because they are wasteful
Good water. shot through a motor,
is as fruitless of effect as if poured
down rat-hole.
But, honestly, Ledger, the very
reason why you allege that the JOUR-
NAL is unfit for public office implies a
quality that would make the great
paper a regular arc among the average
incandescents of public economy and
safety.

A Pointer,

Prof Rudolph de Roode, Morgan
town chemist of high repute, has
analysed sample of Monongahela
river water at Fairmont, and finds
therein 'eleven one-hundredths of
albuminoid ammonia" He then
writes:
When the amount of albuminoid ammonia
exceeds 10 parts per million potable water
should be regarded with suspicion. The
amount found, viz: IL parts per million,
while not great enough to condemn the water
absolutely, is nevertheless sufficient to cause
it to be regarded with suspicion.
No such stream as Georges Creek
empties into the Monongahela river
above Fairmont, yet Prof. de Roode
finds enough unwholesome matter in
the water to enjoin Its consumers to
regard it with suspicion"
That is about equivalent to the
JOURNALS exhortation to Cumberland
people last week:
be honest with yourselves concerning
that river water; give yourselves the benefit
of all doubt of its purity, and go down deep
in your pockets for the money to obtain deep
mountain water,
In this connection it is proper to say
the Cumberland Ne,rs' understanding
of the JOURNALS meaning of ''deel
mountain water" is erroneous. The
we'll the JOURNAL favors would be
located outside the city, small-bore and
extend. metal-lned, away down into
the old red sandstone. If not a
spontaneous flower, the water would
be pumped day and night, affording
but little space and no time for the
collection and absorption of poisonous
gases.
To resort Of this complexion Cum,
berland must eventually come.

Fair Logic.

Did you ever notice that the man in front
ofthe grocery who knows more than any
body else about what Congress ought to do in
the present crisis, is usually the fellow who
has the poorest credit inside the establish
ment salisbury (Pa.) Star.
Andif he be a borrower of the Star,
he is just the sort of fellow to grab at
the notion that the prospective ruin of
high protection is what Is the matter
with the country.
If he is correct, then we know exact
ly how to establish the fact that his
extreme poverty of credit is due, not
to his errors or shiftlessness, but to
what the reformers are going to do
with the tariff.

taken off coal. Itmay bea fact that the fools
are not all dead, but they are not controlling
