COnnudrunS,

The revenue derived from imported
foreign coal last year indicates that
over a million tons came in.
How could this be if the current
tariff rate is protective9
According to the Cumberland Ne'ns'
method of calculation, each miner in
this region would haye been SLY
better off if this coal had not been al
lowed to come in.
Now, if the protectionists are such
great friends of the miner that they
want to save him 500 annually, why
did they not provide in the Mckinley
Act for him to save that SLY last
year,
And more than Sill annually as the
business glows9
If miners would look under the sur
face of this tariff business deep enough
and long enough they would see that
when protectlonists had a chance to
protect them they did not do it.
On the contrary, they protected near
ly everything else and left coal to 1.-THE
tender mercies of an unfeeling world"
The consequence so far is-last year
each miner contributed SLY to the
support of the government-$l17 that
could have been saved to him if his
protectionist friends had done for him
what they pretend to do.
If the tariff reformers, therefore,
take off 800, it will be remembered
that very recent example and prece-
dent were set for them by those who
assume to be the miners friends.

What We WillInsc,

The Cumberland Nems, forgetting
that it is pledged to sustain New Eng
land industries, ascertains that those
industries will save, with free coal,
seven and-a-half million dollars, at an
expense of $3.50 each to the 10000
people in this county.
The Neaos evidently accepted prob
able importation of million tons.
The main use New England has for
Nova Scotia coal, however, Is to use it
as a club to beat down and keep down
the wages ofminers. mostly republican.
Two other conclusions are in
evitable--
/, That if the MINER loses work or
wages, he will lose something real pro-
lection never gave him, and
9, In either event he will enjoy the
satisfaction of having lost 1t in pursu-
ance of his inveterate determination,
repeatedly accumulated by his vote at
the polls, to stand by our manu-
featuring industries

On account Of the lack of profit in the soft

Transportation has been poorer this week

No Sectional Hate Here,

The JOURNAL says "if there were no New
England there would be no demand for free
coal" Is Wisconsin in New England? The
demand for free coal emanates from that
State in very practical way, and takes the
form of a bill now on the calendar of the
House. 1t was introduced by Il democratic
member who no doubt despises New England
as heartily as the JOURNAL does.-Cum ber-
land NeUS.
Wisconsin is not in New England,
but Wisconsin suffers from high tariff
prices of coal that is not protected.
But it is the JOURNALS impression
that the democrat is an Iowa Congress-
man who takes his cue from the
original Allison bill, in which coal
was placed on the free list because
there is no foreign competition out
there.
The JOURNAL does not 'despise New
England nor does it see wing the
Wisconsin man should.
What it does despisc is the notion
that one section must be everlastingly
bounty-fcd and one department of in
dustry perpetually pampered before
the whole country can be declared in
a prosperous condition. notion re-

Good ChancetoCrawtish

Does it not appear funny that our
loyalists to the manufacturing in
terests, etc, should take the back
track so quickly when those interests,
to save themselves, ask for free coal?
Why, gentlemen, with such faith
lessness as this in apostolic times, ''the
blood of the martyrs would never have
become "the seed of the church"
With such patriotism as this in 1876
you would probably be smelling your
way to precarious living upon the
offal Of English castles.
With such morality in the business
world, one transaction like this would
be equivalent to /. wholesale appeal to
the protection" afforded by confessed
insolvency.
What do you mean
You promised to stand by 'home
industries"
In closer terms-you promised to
stand by the consumers of your coal.
If they are your friends, needing
help, why do you deny the first call
for aid9
If they are. after all, your enemies,
why do you skedaddle from the first
shot from their picket line?
Better retract that platform.

can Indepcndent VOTER"

Under this heading Harper's Weekly

suggestive comment and quotation
What so conspicuous Republican leader
as Chauncey NJ. Depew has to say in regard
to the cause which was mainly instrumental
i'll bringing about the result of the recent
elections will be read with interest by voters
of all parties. We give the following extract
from an interview with him, published in the
New York Tribune of November 9th, in which
he remarks;
Independent voting is like jumping into
cold bath. 1t is only the first plunge that
takes away. the breath The revolt against
the republican machine, which defeated
Folger-and created Cleveland-made 100 900
republicans in this State independent voters
They had gone steadily with their party on
war issues, and had considered it sacrlege
to vote other than the republican ticket.
Since then they have been making the DEM
ocratic majority in this State.
At least 10000 democrats have taken the
same plunge in this election against the
machine. a large majority will continue to
exercise the right of private and independent
judgment, regardless of caucus and conven-
tons. Our State will become more than ever
doubtful State, with at least 100000 voters
ready to vote for one side or the other, re-
CARELESS of previous associations. These
voters are intelligent, honest non office seek
ing, and fearless. Their potentiality will
| compel good nominations.
Some day in this county and State,
when the people have ceased venerat-
ing party above country, and have
stopped worshipping the golden calves
of chlmerical benefcences, and turn
their attention to the present, actual,
local conditions which deplete their
pocket books, they, too, as in New
York, will become the reigning SOW
ereigns of the political realm.
And here, as there, it will be a
wholesome thing to have the poll
ticlans know that "the independent
voter" is good political creditor and
a very bad man when he comes to pay
a political debt.
He is, in fact, 'the kicke," whose
virtues the JOURNAL feebly porti aged
last week-the voter whose integrity
and intelligence make him the knight
ly dictator in the fields where party
kings are to be set up and pulled down.

IL Will Hardly Go On.

The Cumberland Necs "defies" the
JOURNAL to name single manufac-
turing firm who has "made an I'M
qualified demand for free coal"
The JOURNAL is not on the ground,
but the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun is. He is, more
over, on pretty good terms with the
committee and likely to know what he
is writing about. He wrote on Tues
day last:
There is a strong pressure from the manu-
featuring centres of New England, New York
and eastern Pennsylvania for the removal Of
the duty. Manufacturers claim that if the
duty on articles made by them is to be taken
off or reduced they should receives concession
and encouragement in the form of free coal.
1t is with the view of giving this concession,
made by the committee.
SO, miners, you can see what the
consumers of your coal, by whom you
have Just ':stood" in the sum of 900
majority, were doing while you We're
standing by" them.
They were not only exerting a
pressure but a "strong pressure" to
have the protection you enjoy de-
stroyed.
AS between you and your friends.
the latter making the most plausible
statement of their claims, the COM
mittee evidently decides against you.
Neither Of you have any title to
committee favor. The cast of a die
would just as accurately determine
their consideration for one OF the
other.
But there is more:
Whether chairman Wilson, whose district
is largely interested in the mining of coal, has
agreed to the proposed removal of the tariff is
not known.
Mr.. Wilson said not a word when
Davis and McCorkle were "giving
themselves away" and he, like Nc
kaig, is doubtless waiting to plead in
more friendly court.
1t is safe to predict that coal will
not eventually be put on the free list.

There amt no SIGH man.
The Tables Should be Turned.

Coal is some distance yet-from a
non-dutiable status.
The Baltimore Sun said Wednesday:
1t was positively stated by a gentleman
familiar with the workings of the ways and
means committee that the forthcoming tariff
bill will put coal on the free list but it does
not necessarily follow that there will be no
tariff on it when the bill becomes a law
Senators and representatives from bituminous
coal-producing sections have expressed their
disapproval of free COAL and if their talk is
indicative of their future action, they will
oppose free coal to the end. They have ex-
pressed willingness that the tariff duty
should be reduced from rs cents to As cents
per ton, rate Of reduction which they claim
will be more in accordance with the general
line of reduction as proposed by the bill than
the total abolition of duty.
The outcome will show that McKaig
is far wiser than his critics-that the
Ways and Means committee room was
not in his judgment the proper arena
for his fight against New England
hoggishness.
1t is more than likely, too, that he
will be able to force New England to
do at least a little standing by"

Reversing n Fable.

The Coal Trade Journal takes hope
full view of free coal. 1t says:
We doubt if there would be any reduction
i'll the cost Of coal, such as these people an
ticipate, from an abrogation of the duty.
Surely none in anthracite and few in the
soft coal business whom we have interview
ed think it would hurt them
After all, about the very worst thing
that can happen to our local high pro-
lection stump and newspaper shouters
is probably free coal.
Should miners get Just as much
work and wages under that regime the
powerful high protection stump spout
ers and tremendous newspaper howlers
would be robbed of their most inspiring
war-cry.
1t would be death to the boys, but
fun for the frogs.

This is the Right Tree.

The Homecoming Reciew thinks the
JOURNAL is ''backing up the wrong
tree when it contends that the people
to blame for free coal are the people
who demand free coal.
The Reeie'r, therefore, blames the
Ways and Means Committee, not one
of whom is more than household
consumer of coal.
The Committee, however, is merely
the umpire between the New England
aud the mining interests, just as Con-
gress was between the silver and anti
silver interests.

Counterfeit Protection.

Speaking of that probability the
Coal Trade Journal says:
Even should the American duty OF 10 cents
per ton on foreign bituminous coal be re-
moved, it is then problematical whether or
not New England users will take to the Can.
adam coal. The only way it can secure
market here is by sufficiently undertaking
the domestic product. A dollars worth of
Nova Scotia coal must produce more steam
than dollars worth of American coal
The JOURNAL has stated elsewhere
that free Nova Scotia coal is wanted
more for mailing down the prices of
domestic coal than for actual use.
If this belief, which is we'll fortified
by the quotation above, be we'll found
ed, we ask any honest, candid miner
how do you like such protection
How do you like pretension which

Same WAY Here.

The protection given the Hungarian coal
operators does not seem to have worked for
the benefit of consumers in that country,
since complaint is made that the best coal is
exported, and Is moreover sold to foreign GUS
toners at lower price than is charged for
inferior coal consumed at home. The
Hungarian coal is not of very good quality,
and it is only the best which can compete
with foreign coal in the general market. The
government is urged to permit the lmporta-
ton of coal from Germany and to decrease
the railroad rates, in order to break down the
present combination and give consumers
reasonable prices, all of which has some
what familiar sound to us here. Engineering
