Owners Of coal mines in the Eastern
states are growing alarmed at the pros
pect of competition with the product
of the English mines, over a million tons
of which can be thrown yearly into
Eastern ports free Of charge II the duty
Is removed That is to say, If that COM
modify were used as ballast. The Mar
itime Association of the port Of New
York, report that the number of vessels
which entered into United States ports
from the United Kingdom were 3,143, Of
0,O3G,03O tons, Of which were with car.
goes, 2,109 vessels, of 4641,4S tons;
leaving In ballast, 1904 vessels of 1884,
542 tons. These figures readily show
that the amount of English coal which
could be brought into the Eastern mar
kets would be an important factor in
fixing prices, and that the alarm Of the
mine-owners is not without good foun-
datlon. This would strike in two far
apart places. The grain ships could
come to the New England New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Virginia ports loaded with soft coal
from England or Nova Scotia. Then the
cotton and cattle ships, returning to
the Gulf In coal ballast, would take the
Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston and
other coal markets, and with a lower
rate of transportation across the Allan
tic than down the Mississippi, the COM
paratively underpaid miners In Englan,
and Wales would cut under the West
Pennsylvania and Virginia miners. Tn
fact of the extensive influences of so
simple matter as placing coal on the
free list, shows how vastly Increased
is the Importance of the protective
principle, as the commercial facilities
OF the nations are augmented by the
prodigious fleets that sweep the seas.

The New York Sun, in the following
few words, strikes a great fact with a
dull thud. Referring to Mr. Cleveland's
income tax plan, the Sun says:
Whether man has a family or not,
or people dependent on him or not, the
government will get nothing out of him
by an income tax If he has no income. -
The Sun might have added that the
income tax places a premium on fraud
and perjury.

EvILLE.

The sad announcement was made last Friday morning that Samuel $. Rob- bins, Esq head of the banking firm of Robbins, Burrall & Go, died the pre- vious evening at half past ten o'clock The community was shocked. It was known that MT Robbins was ill, but no one had any idea that his condition was so serious. In the death of Mir Rob bins, Lakeville will miss an upright citizen, generous nei9 9hbor. friend of every needy person, and business man of superior ability. The funeral took place at two o'clock Monday afternoon Services were held at the house. Rev J. o. Goddard of the Congregational church, Salisbury, and Rev Dr Plumb, of Boston, cousin of MT Robbins, oficiated. Dr Plumb delivered an elo- quent funeral address. Iu his remarks he warmly eulogized the many noble traits of MT Robbins character, and dwelt upon his strength of purpose, bus mess sagacity, and integriGy. The fu- neral was largely attended by many prominent people of Lime Rock, Sharon, Salisbury, Canaan, Millerton and other villages in this vicinity and from distant parts of the country. The pail bearers were the four grandsons of MT Rob- bins: J. R Church, AloDzo Church. William Church and NJ. Fl Robbins Jr. 1; and his two nephews, Porter s. Burrall and William Beebe. Bea utiful wreaths of flowers and autumn leaves, and other floral mblems of love, were profusely displayed. The funeral procession which followed the remains to their last resting place in Salisbury cemetery was a very long one. The deceased leaves a wife, three daughters and a son who mourn the loss of dear husband and father. They have the sympathy of their many friends and the community at large in their great bereavement. MT Robbins was 90 years, months and 4 days old at the time of his death. At this writing a sketch of Mir Robbins life has not been received for publica- tion.

A CARD FROM A. G. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyville Is now so well known far and near, that we feel that we may safely, for a time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An lad" to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do 1t. Besides, we heard man say. the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyville, who ad- vertises so much, must be a fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes out without gun.) Another more charitable friend remarked to us confi- lads" out of business hours Is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got it; and he looked away over into the next county when he said it but,-well. we are not slow to take a hint, fl 1t Is a blind one. It would be perfectly aw- full If we should really get it (this softening disease, we mean, and have it get real deep- ly seated before we knew it, or before we had time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col umns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go into the coffers of these "grasping newspaper monopolies," eat brain hardening food and attend strictly to busi- ness, i. @. selling furniture at Hawleyvie Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensi- tive we are to adverse criticism. and say that we are simply boycotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for awhile. Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing to harden. Be compassionate, be just be considerate. be charitable, be liberal mind cd one with another and last of all be sure and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin 1t in your hat.

Excursion to Hartford.

By special request the Philadelphia, Reading & New England Railroad an nounces that they will run cheap Holiday excursion to Hartford from Norfolk and all stations west on Thurs day, Dec. 20. The rate will be one fare for the round trip from stations be tween Norfolk and State Line, and will be g co for the round trip from all sta tions west of State Line or Millerton to Hartford on that day. The return tick cts will be good nntil Saturday, Dec. 29. This will be an excellent opportunity for those who wish to purchase their holiday presents or ts visit friends in the east.
 By special request" from the Gener- al Passenger Agent of the above men- toned road the NEWS publishes the foregoing announcement. Aud now the NEWS has special request" to make. It has no special interest in Hartford merchants but it has a special interest in merchants within circle embracing Winsted. Norfolk. West Cornwall, Millerton. Great Harrington and intermediate places. Of course Canaan is the central point of this cir ole. Our special request to our readers within this circle is that they patroEize our advertisers instead of Hartford mer- chants We hope this section will prove loyal to its home and vicinity merchants and purchase holiday goods of the men who are identified with the welfare of this section and who con- tribute iberally to every worthy cause or public spirited enterprise. To owe your homo or vicinity merchants for the necessities, or even the luxuries, of life and then spend your ready money in cities (where of course you must pay cash down for holiday goods) is an un grateful act; and furthermore in the majority of cases you can buy the same articles cheaper in the country than ir the city.

BRIsTOL.

The refusal of the selectmen to grant the new layout of the Trolley road is not received very kindly. In fact it is condemned as great set back to the prosperity of the town.
 With 230 tramps furnished lodgings at the lookup in the month of Nov. and turned out in the morning to forage on and steal from Bristol people it looks as if it was time to put the tramp laws in force.
 The storm of Saturday night and Sunday has made fine sleighing in this vicinity.
 Business is gradually reviving in town
 The Bristol Copper Mine commences to-day running the crusher and separat- ing mill night and day continuously. Under the efficient management of MT Inlay and Gen. Allen, both noted specialists in their department, and the general superintendency of the genial Mir Hubbell, the mine seems to be progressing finely.
