TOWN AND VICINITY,
Things About Town.


Council last month talked and legis-
lated about everything except the main
thing-the public health. The JOUR.
NAL had called attention to a simple
method of keeping the water in the
near reservoir pure, but the subject
seemed too far inferior to other mat
ters to merit attention. Had it been
a culvert claim, it would have been
all right.
This Council Is threatened by fate
with going into history as the "Cul-
vert Council"
The amount of thoughtlessness be-
slowed on the fronting of the new
schoolhouse would start panic
among snails. Instead of facing it on
Broadway, the front overlooks double
row of stables and outhouses far as
the eye can reach. 1t was an awful
mistake.
Perhaps that is why Council wants
to hide it at night and show up, rather,
by electric illumination the superior
architectural attractions of the fire.

Charles James Fox Bird.
A firstclass citizen, noticing the Old
Roman plan of publishing official no
tees on posts and other memorabilia of
ancient bulletin methods, said the other
day that Frostburg would not have
to 60 as far back to reach the Dark
Ages as most places. In those times
all publications were made outdoors,
but were done on movable bric-a brac,
so they could be taken in out of the
wet. But now, We keep them out of
the houses altogether-in fact, nearly
all Councils printing is done exclusive
ly to stand wet weather, and only for

eccentricities to be shown up in due

Raw Matcrial-What is 1t?

The JOURNAL last week asked two
scholars, known for their industry and
proficiency in pathological research,
for a literal definition of "raw ma
terials"
One of them, under unexpected
pressure of other matters, was unable
to comply.
The other contributes the following

CUMBERLAND, Mp., Oct. |, 1894
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The courts have said what they understood
by the terms, raw MATERIAL and ''manufac-
tured article" and the judges haye made the

and hundreds of others.
The Alegany county readers of the JOURNAL
will not need to go further than the late cele-
brated Maryland case. in which the most dis
: tingulshed member of the western Maryland
bar, and as learned in the law as any man of
his day and generation, the late Honorable
William Walsh, explained the difference in
value between coal undug and coal at the
mouth Of the mine. They will find there what
the great difference is between raw MATERIAL
and material that has not lost ITS 'rawness," !"
though other terms are used, and "rawness"
was not the issue.
From that case we learn simply that coal
n the ground is one thing, but coal ont of the
ground is another thing.
In one case it is only of value as a possibility;
in the other it is of material or real value, the
difference being solely due to the labor (stand-
ard of all value) expended upon the raw thing
to make il useful, or of material value.
Politicians may talk as they please, but no
sensible man can be hoodwinked into the
notion that t,ried oyster or deojled crab is
still raw material" simply because it is put
in the party "raw-box," whether it be put
there for protection" or revenue only"
Coal underground is like man in the
same condition-it is raw MATERIAL and not
worth cent But by manufacture-hand-
cork, coal is made valuable and fit to accom-
n,odate society. Hence, it becomes "a COM
modify"
Raw materials are simply things mot
made with hands" or, using the term, "man-
ufacture," in its fuller and more honest sense
II. e., man made, whether by use of head,
heart and hand, jointly or severally-all ma
terials that are unchanged by the touch of
man, since by touch virtue goes out Of man
into the raw MATERIAL" giving it value
putting life into the dead thing. Coal, like
Lazarus, is helpless thing and dead-until
man, by labor, rolls away the stone, chooses
it and lets it 60"
The term, raw material like tariff, is a
new-fangled arrangement to meet the require
ments of modern party politics, whose Gypsy
Frostburg mining journal., 1894-10-06
Not a Raw Material.

Judge Alvey has decided that house is
not residence unless it is occuped-Cum,
berland Necs.
One of the trees, or all the trees
represented in that house were raw
material to all engaged in the prep
aration for and construction of the
house.
Loggers, sawyers and carpenters
see in the work of their hands an
evolution of useless wood into USE
full structure.
Coal is raw material to the miner,
and to nobody else.
Unlike the loggers, sawyers and car
penters, steam-raisers see coal, used,
90 into nothing but worthless smoke
and ashes.
Nobody would think of calling water
raw material, yet it becomes, under
neat, something useful-steam.
Not so coal. AS said before, its
residue, after combustion, is worse
than useless. 1t is less raw material,
if possible, than water.
Wool is a raw material which goes
into textiles ore into iron hides into
leather-everything raw goes into
something useful-eoerything except coal
unless sometimes into coke or gas.
But coke and gas, like corn, need no
protection. Coal does.
1t is wrong, therefore, to sacrifice u
commodity which needs protection !;
particularly wrong to do 1t under the
everlastlngly false pretense that it is a
raw material.
The JOURNAL will never cease to
believe, therefore, that the proposal
to slaughter the coal of this region is
a forced, far-brought misconstruction
Of the Chicago platform.
In 1884, while the Morrison bill was
pending IN the House, Hon. William
l.. Wilson opposed strongly prop
osition to put coal on the free list. He
said in that connection
Whatever reduction is made should be
made so gradually as not to wreck, to dis
turb or alarm any of our great industries,
and this return toward peace tariff ought
to be made by even progress and on a scale
of justice to all.
If coal is a raw material now, it was
then.
Yet the raw material which Mr..
Wilson wishes to "wreck" now, he
wanted to save then as ''great in
dust,y"
Not only to save it from wreck" )" bat
he did not want it disturbed"
And, as though that were not enough,
he did not wish it to be alarmed"
Wonder, really, what consideration
wrought the change in Mr.. Wilson's
view inside of ten years
Judge Alvey is good authority for
the opinion "that house is not res
idence unless it is occupied"
Now, what has to happen to "a
great industry" in 1854 to make it
raw material in 1904?
Frostburg mining journal., 1894-10-06
Hardly Fair journalism.

A cargo Of Nova Scotia coal has been sent
to the Pepperell mills, at Bddeford, Maine
Referring to the fact, the local paper says:
The coal free on board costs at Nova Scotia
S5 cents while Pennsylvania coal costs 1926
The freight on the latter is rs cents per ton,
and on the Nova Scotia coal 81 per ton. Add
40 cents duty and the Nova Scotia coal costs
s2.25 and the Pennsylvania coal 50.
And yet the Frostburg JOURNAL and Mr..
Moses Gibson, and all the remainder of the
Mulberry Sellers tribe tell us that the compe.
tition of Nova Scotia coal is a business impos.
sibility. Nems.
We take little stock in those figures.
But if correctly stated, Mr.. Yelling.
ton, when elected, will have to see the
high protection representative of the
Blddeford district and make him I'M
derstand that if 1t was unpatriotic for
the democrats to lower the tariff on
coal, it is actually disloyal for re-
publicans to take advantage of it.
If protection protects, protectionists
should "show their faith by their
works.
They should buy as they vote.
Ii it Is wrong for democrats to throw
the seaboard open to Nova Scotia coal,
it is worse for republicans to make
money out of the wrong.
If a man who opens disorderly
house is bad, how much better are
those whose patronage enables him to
keep it open9
There is, therefore, no virtue nor
patriotism in the protection which
compels us 10 buy at home.
There is a great deal of both in
patronizing home industry from an
economical, moral and patriotic con
viction, whether we can buy abroad
or not.
II there is any grace in protection,
like religion, it ought to shine as
brightly when we are buying as well as
we are voting.
But to return
The editor hereof will give one
hundred dollars for a copy of the
JOURNAL wherein he has expressed
the opinion in words or substance
that the competition of Nova Scotia coal
is a business impossibility.
We hare neoer aoritten 1t, nor 6eliered 1t.
He has held just the other view.
Even Maj. Gibson says with great
clearness
This strip along here (meaning the Georges
Creek, Elk Garden and Pocahontas coal
regions) is the only section Of tie Un,ted States
that needs protection!
This is the conviction of every tariff
reformer in the county whose opinion
is worth hearing.
When the Neaos, therefore, demolishes
the JOURNAL as a member of "the
Mulberry Sellers tribe," it destroys a
man of straw of its own making.
The JOURNAL never wallops an
efigy. Like the Irishman, it goes
straight for "the ould gentleman him
self who stands feminist the dape say.'

SYKEsvILLE, Nd, Oct. ., 1891.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
| see that Cardinal Gibbons spoke
in your town last Sunday on the labor
question.
He "gives me pain"
He concludes that arbitration is the
remedy.
This is the conclusion also reported
to be reached by the Strike Commits
sion, but it is directly opposite to the
weight Of the testimony at the
Chicago Investigation. Debs ridiculed
it likewise Pullman.
We want remedy that the cap
italist and the laborer both agree to.
Nothing short of this will prove OF any
permanent value.
The Strike Commissioners want
arbitration to further their own relish
epds-nothing more. Arbitration
means the appointment Of a permanent
United States arbitration committee.
The choice of such committee would
give the present Board of Strike Com
missioners chance for job at big
price. They could continue to ride
around in Pullmans, blow little. live
at big hotels and draw big salaries.
They are rich men, and they represent
the rich alone. Not one of them,
Cardinal Gibbons thrown in, knows
what it is, as man, to swing the pick
and shovel day in and day out. Their

as they are, spring from theory and

"HaInlet Left Ont"


A famine in canned goods is threat
ened.
Consumers would naturally think
that the only thing that could bring
about such calamity would be a
shortage of tin, but people who believe
in an overruling Providence contend
that a poor fruit crop is the cause.
The protectionists of high-priced tin
disagree with both. They think it is
altogether because the new tariff law
has made tin dollar box cheaper.
In the bright encyclopaedia of their
economy fruit has nothing whatever to
to do with canned goods.

That is "the spider in the dumpling"

And while it remains the children
will cry in vain.
The same earnings will not buy
