Farm Reform.
SYKEsvILLE, Mp, Sept. 16, 1885
To the MINING JOURNAL
Col. William Camm, of Murrayville.
Ill.,, says in the JOURNAL of Sept. l4th
that he fails to see any sense in my
anti Single Tax argument as given in
the JOURNAL of Sept. 7th.
! did not expect him to see any
whatever. | am not writing for his
conversion to Farm Reform, but
simply to keep honest men from be-
coming ensnared by Single Tax. 1t
is therefore unnecessary for me to be-
stow any attention to his Single Tax
rehashes, and, with the JOURNALS
permission, would like to lay before
its readers in all parts of the country
brief reply to his intimations regard
ing my relations with Single Takers
in Delaware.
LIvEsEY INCITED THE DELAWARE CAMPAIGN.
Bolton Hall, wealthy lawyer, of
Ill Broadway, N. Y, is about the
leader in the Delaware campaign.
All of last spring he and | were in
correspondence and he was asking me
in all seriousness my ideas of things
in geaeral-he wanted to make practi.
cal use of them. My rldicule of the
idle professions of Single Takers seems
to have lnspirited them to make des-
perate attempt to capture Delaware
OF course, that was just what
wanted. The result comes to me in
these words from DR.. John w. Dick,
of 1919 Christian ST., Philadelphia
Not content with ridiculing Single Takers
for preaching when, in your opinion, they
should be performing, you Immediately
threaten them with dire results should they
attempt to follow your advice by contemplate
ing such practical work as the Delaware
campaign; Surely, friend Livesey, you are
exceedingly severe upon us poor Single
Takers, for you laugh us to scorn when we
preach and promise to destroy us if we
practice.
To this | have replied
Yes, the way of the transgressor is hard
ana Livesey is two-edged sword that cuts
both ways.

The Coal Trade.

Shipments of coal from the mines of
the Georges Creek coal region were
in long tons
For week ending Sept. 81, 1895. 69,74S
year to same date. .............2,3 1856 ,676
Increase compared with last year,. 302, 454
Of the New York market the En-
gineering and Mining Journal says:
There is little new in the soft coal market.
The trade continues to produce and forward
a considerable tonnage, and its chief effort is
to get this placed with It's contractors at the
least money where delivered" contracts
have been made. Everyone is trying to take
advantage of the prevailing low ocean
freights, and to cover these contracts as far
as possible. 1t is thought that a large pro-
portion of these contracts have been covered,
but we hear of some of them being added to
at the original figures. The consumers have
taken the tonnages quite freely, and this has
helped to increase production.
There is a little new business dong, but
not enough to affect the nominal prices that
have prevailed this summer. There is a little
spot business doing but it is principally in
the smaller class of orders There is also
some inquiry from South America, and one
or two single orders have been placed
Shipments to nearby points on the Sound
are improving, and advantage has been taken
of the low ocean freights from the lower
parts Considerable tonnage is being sent all
rail, although it moves forward quietly.
Transportation from mines to tidewater is
better than usual, and shippers are obliged to
charter ahead to keep up with the coal
arrival

A Danger,

The Coal Trade Journal says "this is
an advertisement in the Boston
papers -
For the purpose Of introducing its coal to
American consumers, the Dominion coal
company will sell a moderate quantity of
coal at prices that will be satisfactory to pur-
chasers.
This after the duty of 40 cents per
ton is paid, of course.
Yet there are people who believe
that if patriotic New England, almost
our only market, is permitted to say
goodbye to this patriotic coal region
and go over to free trade Nova Scotia
to buy coal, no harm will come to us.
But if the Dominion coal company
wants to Introduce its coal' over a
tariff barrier of 40 cents per ton, it
is certain that it would be dangerous
competitor if there were no tariff at
all.

Prompt, but Not Precise.

Editorially the Cumberland Meas
said Monday morning:
AS German gazes upon the interminable
column of Democrats passing over to the
side of Lowndes and honest government, he
feels like exclaiming with Richard III-"will
the line hold out to the crack of doom ?'
Next locally:
In the hurry of editorial work the Ne~s
this morning places words that he never used
in the mouth of that bad old King Richard
III. Macbeth is the fellow who talked of the
"line holding out until the crack of doom"
The blunder was observed after correction
was too late, but the matter is thus set
straight before the great paper seizes its OPP
portunity to stick a pin in it.
The Neaos was just in time.
Except that "hold" is not strong
equivalent of 'stretch."

"A Stringent DUTY,

Gentlemen, some patriot has defined
primaries as ''places where freemen
voice the will of God"
If that gentleman is at fault as Il
photographer, he ought not to be.
The primary is the place where the
real battle for the best men should be
fought; the convention the place
where primary results should be ratified
and registered.
The majority party, therefore, owes
to the people to-day an invincible
effort to put up its very best men.
For by this time, it is to be hoped,
the democratic party has done the
same thing.

SacrileGe-AlmOSt,

They have gone to praying for rain
in Cumberland.
Prayer implies faith, but "faith
without works is dead"
People, pray on. Meanwhile go
down into your jeans for the means to
store good water.
Without this, prayer for rain is as
vain as prayermeeting for the poor
that does not include in its program
liberal donation to the poor.
Shakespeare says
If could pray to move, then prayer would
move me.
Or words to that effect.
The prayer, therefore, that moves
God can never come from lazy or
