'In conclusion, Mr.. Dobson said that

We must not forget he continued.
that protection and bimetallsm are
twin brothers; that one without the

neither alone can give constant EN-.

defeat would come to tnat party no

THE Republican party must declare
for an American policy, industrial,
financial and commercial. The plat
form must be one that cannot be mis-
understood. The protection 1t pro-
claims must be for the people and not
for Individual advantage of any citizen
or combination and above all, 1t must
not be sectional. The financial policy
it proclaims must make sure the full
restoration of silver as money, side by
side with gold. 1t must make sure
that current expenses of the govern

from taxes on alcohol, beer and to-

When Our Coal Is Gone,

The problem of diversifying our local
industries so as to disabuse the minds
of distant capitalists of the mischievous
notion that with anthracite Goals eX-
haustion will come the extinction of
Scrantons prosperity Is moving stead
lily toward practical solution. The lat
est industry to arrange for removal to
this city-the James Simpson & Co. silk
mill, to which William Connell G. Co.
have just donated handsome site near
their National mine-illustrates this
point. 1t will employ from 500 to 600
operatives, who in turn will support
probably from 1900 to 5000 persons
other than themselves out of a total
population of 100000 Thus this one
new industry alone, should the coal
supply give out, would support three
hundredths of the city's population;
and ten or twelve other new ones of
equal magnitude, added to those al
ready here, would happily sustain, in
prosperous times, the whole Of Scran-
ton, We're every mine to close down in
definitely.
Of course, the mines will not close
down indefinitely for many years yet.
The nearest estimate gives them al
most thirty more years of life, while
the furthest gives them from seventy to
eighty years. And then, even when
coal is gone, the culm banks will re-
main, supplying cheap fuel and possi-
billties of cheap electrical power with

ufactories desiring to be near to abun-
dant labor and cheap fuel. These
claims can hardly be too strongly pre-
scented. The simple truth will read to
distant persons almost like hyperbole.
To return to our original point, how
ever, it is a matter for local congratu-
lation that, Notwithstanding the recent
depression in business, Scranton has
been enabled, through the combined en-
terprise of her business men and her
superior natural resources and attrac-
tions, to make almost uninterrupted
progress toward a necessary diversif-
cation of her industries. While the an
thracite coal industry will be with us,
we trust, for many years to come.
Scranton can at the same time abun-
dainty accommodate all the other in
dustries which desire to solve the i'm
portant problem of cheap fuel and
abundant labor. The more, the mer-
rier; and may all prospect

NO COMBINE ON THE CARDS
Dealers Afraid of Arousing Public Resent
ment and Competition Unusually Active.
Freights and Towage Coming Down as a
Result of Rivalry-Besides. Last Winter
Filled All the Big Northern Houses.

1t is authoritatively announced by rep
sentatives of the several ice companies op-
Grating in the District OF Columbia, that
there will be no ice combine this season,
and that the people of Washington will
have cheap ice for four reasons.
These are that the local prices will be
governed by competition; that the ice har-
vest of last winter was stupeuduous; that
there is a disposition on the part of ship
owners to cut the rates of freightage, aud
that rivalry between the tug-owners of
Washington and Alexandria, and the tow
ing companies of Baltimore, which are
reaching out for this territory is becoming
will not be a surprise.
The ice people with whom reporter for
The Times talked yesterday declared en-
phatically that there is to be no combine
this year, and that the agreement SUBJ
sisting between them last year for the
maintenance of prices at an arbitrary
level Will not be resumed.
FEARED PUBLIC INDIGNATION.
They gave as reasons for their refusal to
renew the agreement, that it raised o
ou bile outcry and brought a reduction of
consumption. Then one or perhaps two
companies seemed to take fright at the
popular hue and cry for cheaper Ice, aud
developed a marked disposition TO secure
trade by underwriting the trust schedule.
This fact came very near wreckiug the
tr Ist last year, and made the big ice
companies who, by competition, can make
it uncomfortable for the smaller concerns,
swear al oath that they would never, never
d. so again.
The agreement between the companies
operated in the way of protection to the
smaller companies, which under q system
of competition would have to hustle to stand
| the pace set by their older and bigger rivals
In fact, it was intimated to the reporter
that the ice combine OF last summer was q
! put up job on the part of some OF the minor
| companies, and that the big concerns were
| lured into it, to their subsequent sorrow
Ice charters are being signed for Wash
ington and Georgetown at lively clip, and
| and soon the great three, and the greater

conditions of last year and this viii make a
goodly cut in ice. Already ice is selling at a
lower figdre than at any time last summer.
Houses OF public comfort last season were
compelled to pay 80 cents per hundred
pounds by the trust, and now the same ella Is
of customers are buying better quality Of
ice at the very outset OF the season for %
to so cents per hundred.
Private families last summer paid 90
cents per hundred, and already the rate on
this class of trade is down to 40 and 40
cents. Poor people last summer paid al
the rate of so cents per hundred for lots
under 100 pounds, and now are buying If
for 90.
COMPETITION ACTIVE.
In the figures for this season there is
slight variation bet tween the prices quoted
by the several companies. This varia-
ton shows that competition is getting in
its work, and that any company which ex-
poets to do business in Washington VIII
have to sell ice so low that only a fair
profit can be shaved off,
AS the cost price of the ice VIII be
lower and the profits smaller, the prospect
for cheap ice looks beamingly bright. EN-
ployes of the ice companies which have
lcehouses on the Kennebec and Penobscot
declare that for productiveness last win

the winter, but had to pay extra heavy
coal bills, is, by the law of compensation,
promised cheaper ice for the summer.
