lionel site merchandise last month than in the
mon III of September, 1895. Owing TO the fine
eros US abroad this year the foreign demand for

fact aggregate value of the exports last month
wouh exceed those of September 1893, by 81 SS6 225
fhe Treasury statistics also show that in the first
m 4onth under the tariff the value of articles
dmitted free of customs duties s. 7os 6S7 great
er than in September, 1893, under the Mckinley

The Pottsville Evening Chronicle, October IL,
says: "The Mckinley tariff having closed the great
hliu run III Ldstcih
Pennsylvania, the demand for coal was greatly cur
tailed and the miners working time in eonse-
quenee greatly reduced. Under the new tariff these
same iron mills are resuming and new furnaces and
mills being erected. This will increase the de-
mand for coal and give the miner more work The
miners realize this and will not vote away the
bright chances of the future if they consult their
best interests and are wise"
