The coal miners strike that is now
engaging the country's attention prom
i>es To be widespread and disastrous.
Lest anyone should be inclined to point
il out and sneer because of the prom
ised era of prosperity that was TO fol-
low McKinleys election it is well
enough to explain that prior to the en-
actment Of the Democratic Wilson law,
the eastern cities and manufacturing
establishments were supplied with
coal largely from the Virginia and
West Virginia mines When the VIII
son law was enacted, however. coal
from Nova Scotia invaded the eastern
market, driving out the Virginia and
West Virginia product, and compelled
the mines of that section TO find mar
ket elsewhere. The result was that
their coal went west instead of east as
it had formerly done, and with reduced
railroad rates was laid down in the
markets of Cincinnati, Chicago and
other western cities at such low rates
that a coal war, followed by a railroad
rate war, was precipitated. The natur-
al result of this and the reductions in
prices which followed was a reduction
in the wages of the coal miners, all of
which is thus traceable TO the Wilson
law and its reduction in duties on coal.
Happily the new tariff bill now pend
ing retrores practically the Mckinley
law rates, and there is good reason to
believe that the miners as well as
other laboring men will soon feel the
effects of restored protection and re-
stored prosperity. The Wilson law
reduced the rates of duty on coal from
IS cents per ton to 40 cents per ton.
This is Just about the amount of re-
duction in miners wages of which |
are now being made and |
by the strike announced |
for July l. President Ratchford of the
United Mine Workers association. in

Their younger son lives within a mile OF

them in their age as they cared for her in

The tariff bill passed the Senate by a
majority of ten and is now being con-
sidered by conference committee
from both houses. When the bill was
reported by the Senate committee it
differed radically from the bill that
passed the House but so many amend
ments were made before its passage
that ii assumed more nearly the COM
plexion ofthe House bill than it did the
measure reported by the committee. 1t
will not be difficult for the two houses
to agree and the act will become 4 law
before Aug. lst While the presence
of several months supply Of bonded
goods in the warehouses Of the coun-
try will largely reduce the earnings of
the new tariff law for the first few
months of its existence, Chairman
Dingley and other tariff experts in
Washington express the belief that the
new law will supply ample revenue af-
ter this stock OF "anticipatory inn
port" is disposed Of The provision
in the bin for a stamp tax upon stocks
and bonds and upon speculations in
stocks and bonds is generally com
mended. This amendment which has
been adopted and made part of the
bill, places a stamp tax upon all bonds
and stocks aside from those ofbuilding
associations and other organizations
Of thi, character, and also places a tax
upon each transaction in those bonds.
This viii compel the stock spectators
Of the great cities to contribute from
twelve to fifteen million dollars a year
to the support Of the government and
will thus insure that the new bill will
meet the running expenses OF the gov
eminent after the enormous supply Of
foreign goods now in hand shall have
been absorbed.

4 native Ncrmonter. now in Lon
don. writes as follows.
MY own feeling is that the truly
great English race is worthy of our re-
spcct, and that we are making a mis-
take in permitting our corrupt bosses
and self-scekmg politicians, in their
effort TO capture the Irish vote, 10 lead
rs away from cultiyating ut least a
sentimental alliance with the willing
people of the mother country"
There is considerable sense in this.
We are reminded OF a cartoon that APP
peared in comic weekly some time
AGO. entitled Two Kinds OF Fool
Americans" On the one hand were
pictured a numbero Of dudes prostrating
themselves ut the feet of his Royal
IIighness. the Prince OF Wales. and at
tired in his exact pattern of dress, also
a cotcrie of handsome Young ladies,
who were exchanging well-lilled purses
for British titles. On the other hand
were represented the iineoists twist
inc the lions tail with redhot iron,
insulting the union jack and other
wise showing their hatred of every
thing English. Thus were Illustrated
the two extremes. and it is only truth
to say that a large proportion of our
people come under one class or the
other There Is no need of either wor-
shipping OF reviling Great Britain. 1t
is a noble nation, with proud record
on the whole and aside from our own
country there is no other empire or
kingdom on earth where liberty and
enlightenment, progress and prosperi-
ty are 50 general and pronounced. At
the same time Great Britain is not
above selfish designs and in her di-
plomacy still follows her natural in
TO bully her neighbors. While
we want no alliance with her,we ought
to respect and praise her for the great
work she has done in the betterment of
the world.

modations and conveniences. In the past
few years the growth OF this cool and
health giving section has been something
phenomenal, and it looks as ii this season
the railroads will have their passenger ia
eilitIes pretty severely taxed.
True to its traditions as an up to- date

any serious delays or discomforts practi-

Down East railroad and steamboat lines
will be better than ever this year, the most
important change in this respect being
the placing OF the favorite steamer Frank
Jones" upon the new Portland, Mt. Desert
and Machias route. The steamer will this
season leave Portland for its various east
ern calling places, instead of Rockland, as
formerly, enabling the tourist to enjoy
full nights rest on the boat, close connec-
tion being made with express trains from
Boston.

a communication to the New York
Herald, indicates that the wages OF
miners have been reduced since 1898
an average of30 cents per ton, which
is Just about the amount of the reduc-
ton in duties made by the Wilson law.
Curiously, this reduction in wages is
thus coincident rs to time and amount
with the reduction in tariff. That the
reduction in wages was direct result
of the decreased tariff is thus accurate
ly shown in the above striking series

The Morrisville News and Citizen is
everlastingly right when it says:
Twenty years experience in the
business has convinced us that the cor
rect way to run newspaper is on the
cash system. 1t is better for the print
er, his employees and for the public; a
better paper can be printed than under
the pay-as-you-please method; the
subscriber gets what he has paid for
and isn't in constant fear of great
newspaper bill accumulating because
he has subscribed for the paper for a
single year; he doesn't have to notify
the postmaster a dozen times to stop
the paper. 1t is better all around, as
the cash i'm advance experience of the
past three years by this paper has
proved both to the management and
patrons.
The sooner other publishers adopt
the pay-in. advance plan the sooner
they will discover the road to prosper
