In treatise on the subject of alco-
hol, Mr.. Lawson TAFT exonerates the
khuman race from the imputation OF
abeing the only creatures that naturally
Sake to drink. Wasps, he says, have
She same proclivity. Mr.. TAFT has
kHatched the wasps eagerly attacking
#ver ripe fruits, when the sugar had
n some degree been converted into
5slcohol. Around such fruits especially
rotten plums and grapes, wasps
may be seen fighting and struggling
for precedence and afterwards, when
they are absolutely drunk with the
spirit, they crawl away in a torpid
condition and hide themselves in the
grass till they have slept off the orgie .
THE wasp is even more quarrelsome
han usual in his cups, and will sting
host venomously on the slightest

THE IRON AND COAL INDUSTRY.
How :he Tariff Bill Affects the Develop
ment OF the South

The following from the Washington
Post is pubishedby request and because
We are not afraid to give both sides.
Permit me to say few words from a
business point Of view on the DISPOSE
ton made Of coal and IRON ore by Mr..
Wilson in his proposed tariff bill. Az
one largely Interested in the industrial
development of the South, | have
watched with satisfaction the remarka.
BILE development OF the iron aud coal re.
gion OF Alabama, West Virginia, Virgin.
ia, and Tennessee. Why should all this
be stopped? Why should the industrial
awakening OF this part Of the country be
checked? Why should the particular
industries in which the Southern States
are interested and upon which the con-
tinued prosperity OF 30 many localities,
so many railroads, be thus doomed?
And worse still, why should these indus
tries be stricken down by removing all
protection while the rates OF duty in
nearly all other schedules have been cut
about 80 per cent. Is there any fairness
or justice about this? Is there any prin.
ciple about such a bill? Why should Mr..
Wilson find it necessary to destroy his
own particular industries to demon.
strate his loyalty TO a principle while in
other sections Of the country he is con-
tent to let it rest by a withdrawal OF one
third OF the protection? | sincerely
hope you will call the attention of fair
minded democratic members to this lack
OF harmony in the Wilson bill with
view to rectiiying it in the House and
Senate. Ii is purely question OF labor
Give the United States the same priced
labor, both on the railroads and steamers
and in the coal mines, and it might be
possible to complete with foreign coal.
Here are the wages in coal mines at
home aud abroad, taken from the books
of large operators.

NEW YEARS GREETINGS. 1894.


To the Membership OF the Christian
Church at Hustonville.
DEAR BRETHREs.-Time is short. The
past year has gone to record for good or
for evil. 1894 is here. We are all SOW
ing the seed OF an eternal harvest,
what shall that harvest be-" What
soever a man sows, that shall he alec
reap" God has called us unto fellow
ship with his Son Jesus Christ, having
translated us into His Kingdom, that We
might be co-workers with God in secur-
ing the conversion OF the world to Jesus
Christ. To this end We have been made
members OF the Church OF Christ.
Christ is our only head and his will ss
revealed in his word, is our only law
That holy word assures us that mo man
liveth to himself" that each member of
the body, "shall bear his own burden, :"
and N this way aid in bearing the bur
dens of each other. "For if there be
first willing mind, it is accepted accor-
ding to that man hath, and that other
men be not eased and you burdened but
by an equality" the joint contributions
of all, may supply the wants OF all and
thus our equality in contributions will
correspond with the equality of spiritual
blessing and reward in the everlasting
Kingdom of God in Heaven; for Gods
holy word declares that each one, "shall
be judged according to his works"
Ability alone, creates accountability.
"Where little is given, little is required,
where much is given, much is required. "
Let Va all punctually attend our meet
ings on the Lords day and enter upon
the New Year with solemn resolves to
study the Bible more, pray more, and
work more for the salvation OF souls,
than ever before. Let the Lord have
the full benefit of his own day Sun
day visiting thus neglecting the House
OF the Lord, is 'robbing God OF his tithes
and of his offerings" May each one
of us be filled with the spirit of God, and
then will his love be shed abroad in our
hearts and made real by keeping his
commandments" Let each one OF us
vow before God that in the light OF his
word; and in view OF the account each
one must render unto Christ, OF his
stewardship, that whatever our failures
may have been in tho past, present duty
is plain, viz; that what / can do in the
future tor the gospel, ought 10 do, and
what | ought to do, by the help OF God
l will earnestly try to do.

Careful estimates show that fully %
per cent OF the cost OF coal is labor. The
long and short of it is, wages Of the
American miner must come down il the
duty on the coal comes off. Reduced to
an I'D valorem basis, the duty on blum
inous coal anthracite coming in free) is
now less than % per cent. The McKin-
ley tariff put a lower duty on coal than
the Clay tariff of 1912, and lowor than
the Walker tariff OF 1916. To put coal
on the free list would therefore be moth
ing short OF a wanton blow at a class of
men who perform a dissgreeable aud
dangerous work for pay which is now
far too low. When coal comes to the
seaboard. which is the place where the
price of it is affected, it is, as we have
said, probably % per cent labor, Coal is
not worth more than from 10 to 10 cents
in the mines. For the sake of cheaper
/ ing the price of btuminous coal few
cents per ton to wealthy manufacturing
concerns, and TO enrich the foreign pro
ducer, it is proposed 10 reduce the wages
of nearly 350O coal miners, and there
by impoverish nearly 800, 900 men, wo.
men, and children, whose existence, IN a
measure, depends upon the prosperity of
y great mining innustry, carried on in no
less than - States and Territories.
There is no demand whatever for free
cosl from the American psople.
The present duty on bituminous coal
is not in any way hardship. 1t simply
enables the bituminous coal operators to
pay a higher rate of wages to the labor
ers who mine the coal. The impoyerish-
ment in this particular case will come to
the South, which produced in 1892 about
%, 100000 tons of bituminous coal, or
about one-ffth of all the bituminous
coal. The importation, free, Of coal at
the Atlantic ports will have the imme
date effect of reducing the output and
price of Southern coal.
What is true of coal is equally true of
iron ore. 1t is estimated that the wages
paid in the reproducing districts of the
United States are twice those paid in
England, and about four times higher
than in the Spanish mines. 1t should
also be remembered that for every dollar
the coal and iron company lose the rail.
road companies will lose two or three.
These twin industries are all labor, labor,
labor, labor, from the moment the drill
taps the rocks until the iron or coal is
hoisted into the blast furnace. In the
interest of labor see that these indus
tries are fairly treated. | do not believe
in making flesh OF one industry and poor
red herring of the other.

Islands disposition to meet her sister
city more than half way, yet Moline
actually killed the undertaking, be-
cause the grounds were not in that
city, although they were as near the
line as they could be located, and be-
cause the success of the scheme
might eventually lead to consolida-
ton. The same is true of the Twin
City ball club. The past year the
city of Rock Island has borne the en-
tire expense with comparatively no
subscriptions from Moline, other
than gate receipts, of carrying a club
that was known over the land as the
Rock Island-Moline club. Rock ISL
and, it may be again said. has enter
taincd none but kindly feelings to-

the papers there show toward us.
1t is to be regretted, most sincere
ly to be regretted. that such a condi-
ton exists, for it will only tend. if
carried far enough, to widen the
breach between two cities which
should stand hand in hand and shoul-
der to shoulder for the common good.
If, however. Rock Island is to be
forced 10 the defensive, there is but
one thing to do-stand up alone.
