 He was discussing the coal trade. He said, I've do not export coal to Europe because we have wages against us, and that is the wholo kernel of the coal trade. ''
 Being asked whether black labor was settled in the mines of West Virginia he said:
 Firmly. It is as effective as white labor and does not combine and con spire, and the negro spends all he makes, while the Italians and Poles send every cent out of the country. D
 The senator has just as decided ideas on the tariff question. He is firmly con vineed that protective duties, especially those on coal, should go up.

Heavy Duties on Linens.

 menis of man well acquainted with linens and the linen industry upon tho senate doctored@Dingley bill:
 The proposed duties on linen goods under the amended Dinlgey bill are heavier than ever, although it has been claimed thar the senate had reduced rates. These goods paid for many years B per cent and yielded a steady reve. nue 10 inc government. The rates HOW proposed vary from 90 to 109 per cent, and the burden falls heaviest on loyv and medium goods, which are chiefly nsed in the homes of the poorer people.
 A cheap tablecloth now selling at re-. tail at 25 cents per yard will have to be sold at 371a cents to 40 cents if the quality be kept up.
 Medium linen for ehil6lrenas summer blouses will be assessed =9915 per cent, and the retail price will have to go up accordingly
 Linen forms the raw material for many American industries, as Innings for clothing and other purposes where strength and durability are required Such goods will be advanced 20 to 3o per cent.
 It is claimed thatthis advance is nee essary for revenue, but the effect will Dc that the people will in many cases sabsti- ute something cheaper, and thns he de pfiyed of this useful fabric, and the reve. nue will be eorrespondingly dimiaIshed. It is said that linen goods can be made hut l.Jc frio . again, and except in the case of Il few low crashes has been failure, owing to the climate and other difficulties, but even if they could be made here the rates are unnecessarily oppressive The entire cost of weaving linen goods in Europe is about [ la to 10 per cent the selling price of the article here, and iii America the cost should not be at the very outside more than double this per eentage, so that. even if Republican, theories be true, protection of B per. cent should be ample 10 allow for high.

 The news reaches us by way of Eng land that law has been passed by the parliament of Argentina putting tax on celibacy, The text of the enactment has not yet arrived at the Argentina consulate, but it's general features are given in London dispatch
 Every unmarried male between the ages ef 30 and 80 years falls under the provisions of the law. He must pay to the state . monthly tax, the amount of which. is determined hy circumstances over which he may or may not have control. h particularly heinous in- stances of single blessedness the mulct is heavy. Ordinary misdemeanants in ceiibacy escape more easily. There are a few conditions which may be pleaded in mitigation or complete abatement of damages. Priests are not taxed.
 The law is aimed directly at men, but both sexes may be made to feel it. Of course the men are considered the chef offenders, since in negotiations leading to matrimony they are supposed to take the initiative Moreover, they HaFe all the money. BuJ there are clr- cumstances ill which the women may be considered partieeps cfimiiis access sories before or after the fact.
 Thus the maid or widow who, hay ing received the tender of heart and hand, promises the suppliant to be sis ter-te him, must give to a competent court good and sufficient reason or else pay fine of $500, South American silver. What is worse, the fine money goes tosthe rejected suitor who makes complaint ~
