EARNINGS OF THE OLD COMPANIES.

"The earnings of the old companies" continued
the speaker, ARE the result OF their exceptional
good fortune. Even 10a12 per cent returns won't
leave the stockholders with a good thing when
the mines are exhausted. This is mining com
pany, and ton taken out can be replaced. Ana
we are decreasing the deposit Of this company at
the rate Of 100000 tons year.
1T is not true that the coal companies have any
working agreement except not 20 bring more coal
to market than can sell. We can't even get
down to that basis. There is no fear Of a specua,
tive price for coal. No man in his senses would
go into a cOmbina ton for that purpose. ana II
could not possibly succeed Some years ago when
the Reading and the Lehigh Valley men were on
strike the other companies could have put the
price up decidedly but they never moved Il. An
average of 81 - a for coal Is not cxorbitant
and we get ii. The hard times have
not reached employees. who are happy ana

An officer Of the Delaware. Lackawanna and

commodities may be abnOrmally low, but that Is
not fair comparison. Prices Of many things are
going below the cost Of production. but who wants

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.

The Presidents utterances are gener-
ally distinct. outspoken and to the
point His letter OF yesterday partakes
OF this character There Is no oppor-
tunity OF misunderstanding what Mr.
Cleveland means. The conference. he
says, is not alone to reconcile differences
In the details of a bill. but to decide
whether Democratic principles are to
be saved or abandoned. The bill as dis
figured by the Senate Is an abandon
ment OF Democratic principles.
The President insists that no tariff
measure can accord with Democratic
principles that does not provide for
free raw materials In the interest OF
the people and the manufacturers. and
he severely criticises those Democrats
who would put the wool of the farmer
on the free list and place the protec-
ton OF tariff taxation around the iron
ore and coal of corporations and capt.
talists.
The letter occasioned some surprise by
it's suggestion that in carrying out DEM
ocratic policy and principle the taxation
of sugar for proper purposes and within
reasonable bounds may be entirely L.
Ultimate. He believes that on the
treatment of this article some ground
may be found on which We are willing
to stand where liberation and concili-
alton may be allowed to solve the prob
lem" The free sugar advocates were
startled by this portion of the letter.
OF course, the Presidents letter will
be criticised as an interference with
legislation. or course. he will be at
tackled by the roistering Reed and the
anti-Cleveland organs. But the Ameri-
can people like frank, open talk. and
there will be a general feeling that II
Congress would follow MIR. Cleveland's
advice, the country would be better of
to-day than II liz, business would be
more active and prosperous than ever
and labor would find employment.

cause why they should not be enioined
from proceeding with the cases.
The writ took the Commissioners by
surprise. but Mr.. Wellman at once
recognized the situation, and, after NOV
ing an adjournment until 2 o'clock. has
tened over to Judge Gildersleeve's
court and moved that the writ or order
be vacated. Mr.. Con- was present In the
court with the counsel for the ac-
cused policemen, but Judge Gildersleeve,
after a brief examination OF the writ.
vacated It. The parties then returned to
Police Headquarters, and In the after
noon the trials proceeded. the effort to
interrupt them having signally failed.
II seems "A very poor policy to seek to
prevent a fair and prompt trial OF the
accused officers. There IL no other way
OF getting them of the force " they
are guilty. and certainly no true re-
former can favor their retention. The
lexow Committee in especial has ex-
pressed its conviction that the accused
officers are guilty. and certainly nc
person connected with that Commit
tee can fail to desire their removal from
the force.
Besides. there Is every promise of
gain for the Committee In its future
work by allowing the police trials to
proceed. IT has been said they will
result in whtewashing the defendants

be a serious charge against the Com
