THE TARIFF ON COAL.

The conference committee fixed the
tariff on bitumlnous coal at 81 cents {
ton. Under the Wilson law it has beer
40 cents. This increase is challenge tC
Canada to increase her duty on Goa
taken from this country to Canada.
In the fiscal year ending June 80, 1896
the last detailed report we have from
the treasury, the imports Of bituminou:
coal into the United States were l,243,.
1856 tons. The exports were 2,246, 1884
The figures for Canada were: Imported
from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc,
l23,474 tons; from Quebec, Ontario,
etc., 39,9S7; from British Columbia,
627 1853; exports to these three divisions
respectively, 413 tons, l,67l,3O2, and
1904. This shows that more than one.
half of the bituminous coal imported in.
to the United States from the Dominion
was on'the Pacific slope to meet the de.
mands of California and Oregon. Canada,
east OF the Rocky mountains, including
Nova Scotia, imported into the United
States during the year specified only
I63,39l tons of bituminous, while we sent
to the Canadian markets l 1,67l, ,7l5 tons,
or more than ten tons to one that we
received. Yet in the face Of these figures
we have the protection Cranks talking
OF the imports of Nova Scotia coal flood
ing the American markets, depressing
miners wages and dismantling our
mines. Could humbug and falsehood
farther go?
Miners and operators in this region
are interested in the coal trade with
Canada, being our principal customer In
the bituminous article. Some weeks
ago petition was presented to the Re-
publican tariff managers protesting
against the increase of the customs rates
on bitumlnous coal. This petition,
signed by nearly every coal producer,
miner and carrier in Ohio and Penn
sylvania, including M. A. Hanna & Co.,
argued that Canada purchases 20 tons of
coal from us to every one 1t sells in this
country, but an increase of rs cents, or
even go cents, will greatly reduce our ex.
ports of bituminous coal and have a
paralyzing effect upon the mining and
carrying industries. The petition has
had no effect. The conference report on
bituminous coal fixes the rate at 81 cents
a ton. This is blow at the American
coal trade. To greater or less extent
it will affect profits of every operator
and wages of every miner. This sort of
protection is only devilish.

The Mckinley administration is q
continuation Of that of Grover Cleveland,
both as to civil service and monetary
matters. The public offices are crowded
with Republicans who have held over
during both Cleveland administrations
as we'll as during that OF Harrison. Not
one in ten of the Office force in the
internal revenue bureau is a Democrat,
and the same holds good in other
bureaus. Hence the slow-going of those
in power. Mr.. Hanna don't want to be

Truly American mechanics need not
fear competition from any quarter of the

workmen but for the grasping and fool,

The following is from the Silver Knight
and Watchman, the most widely circulat.
ed and favorite Populist paper in the
United States:
"The platform adopted by the Demo.
Gratis of Ohio is splendid. 1t is broad
and strong enough for all lovers of free
institutions to stand upon, although we
think representation ought to have been
given the Populists and Silver Republi-
cans. Yet there ought to be perfect
concert of action of the Populists and
Silver Republicans with the Democrats.
This will undoubtedly be the result, and
the downfall Of Hanna and the gold
trust of Ohio is reasonably sure. We
congratulate the people of Ohio"

This tariff ripping extra session may
involve the country in dire financial ca.
lamity. The N. Y. World says
"a great woolen manufacturer tells
The World that all the factories have
bought all the wool they can carry;
that all the dealers in wooden goods have
bought all the woolen goods their credit
would permit; that all of them are heavi.
ly overstocked; that the weaker ones
must sell their goods this autumn or &c
into insolvency; that they are already
negotiating ruinous reductions of prices
in order to accomplish this; and that
what is true of the wooden trade is true
in greater or less degree of all other
trades affected by the pending tariff"

MERE REsPEcTABILrTY.

When the declaration OF independence
was read in the court house yard in Phila-
delphia, on July 4th, 1875, writer who
adhered to the influential classes, was
present and in giving an account of it,
he stated, with apparent satisfaction,
that there were very few persons of any
respectability in the crowd that listened
to the reading of the document. 1t is
worthy OF note that in all times men
who profit by wrong or seek the smile
Of injustice assume an air Of superiority.

The Republican organs still persist in
saying the Wilson tariff is a free trade
measure. How these sheets will continue
to falsify, The Wilson law has been
bringing more revenue into the treasury
than did the Mckinley law. Free trade
means no tariff taxation, and hence
no revenue.

ultimo, John Watka, Creek Indian
who shot Jonas Deer, another mem
ber of his own tribe, was legally exc
cuted for the crime. The men were
rivals for the hand of a girl and fought
at dance, at which she was present,
to decide who should gain her. Wat
ka killed Deer, and aftrward married
the Indian maiden.
Watka set out alone to the pE6lic
execution grounds. The prisoner as
sumed his position on bended knees,
with arms tied behind and his eyes
blindfolded. The rife was placed in
the hand of a keen marksman the

opportunity to escape, but returned

r@ J. w. Wooten, a deputy sheriff
of Breathitt county, KY, recently gave
some moonshiners surprise that made
them feel creepy. For years in that
region moonshiners had defied United
States law and officers. They had
killed several deputy sheriffs and never
been punished. They not only killed
United States officers with bullets, but
they continued to manufacture with
|impunity whisky even deadlier than
their bullets. At last Wooten got even
with them. He had a chain armor
shirt made that was entirely bullet
proof. He tested it and found it so.
Then he advanced to moonshiners'
den in broad day. There were two
men inside. He ordered them to sur
render, while his aids stood back a
little out of harms way. The answer
of the desperadoes was a volley of
musket balls. Wooten stood boldly
and received it without the motion of
hair. He had nerve as we'll as a
bullet-proof shirt, had Wooten. The
moonshiners could not believe their
eyes. They fred again. They might
as we'll have fred at the sphinx of
Egypt. A cold chill ran down the
moonshining spine. Was this man a
"ha'ant2" They thought they we're
dealing with a spook and dropped
their guns and surrendered, while their
knees knocked together. Wooten took
possession of them, and then his aids
came up and marched them of:

NATIVE Of SOUTH CAROLINA.

Greater New York's First Mayor Was
Born at Pendleton.
Columbia State.
The people of this state have been
watching the municipal contest in
New York with more than ordinary
interest owing to the fact that the
man who has now been elected mayor
was born in this state. When it was
known yesterday that Mr.. Van Wyck
had been elected the people of Colum-
bia talked of his past history and an
Interesting story as to the man who
was carriage driver in the Van Wyck
family at that time was recalled.
During the day reliable information
was obtained about Mr.. Van Wyck's
South Carolina history from lady
who formerly lived near the family.
Here is what she said:
"Robert Van Wyck, the newly
elected mayor of Greater New York,
was born in Old Pendleton, s. c., and
spent the early part of his life there.
He has one brother, Augustus, who is
living in New York. Sam, another
hxother, was killed early during the
war in the northern part of Alabama.
He was a Confederate soldier. His
children live in Anderson, s. G. The
remaining brother, William, died in
New York. His sister is the wife Of
General Hoke of North Carolina. The
father of this family was from New
York. The mother was daughter of
Mr.. Sam Maveric, who lived and died
in Pendleton. Mr.. Maverick was the
owner of more real estate than any
other one man in the state. His pos
sessions lay in South Carolina, New
York and Texas.
lone of Mr.. Mavericks sons, Au-
gustus, went early to Texas and was
engaged in the war between the Texas
republic and Mexico, and was at one
time made prisoner by the Mexicans.
His home was at San Antonio, where
his descendants still live. He was as
Sociated with Crockett and barely
escaped the massacre at the Alamo.
At his death he owned more land in
Texas than there is in the state of
South Carolina, and bis cattle were 80
numberous that it was impracticable
to brand them. The mo brand was
the mark of his ownership, 80 that to
this day unbranded cattle in Texas
are called Mavericks.
CAT one time the Van Wyck family
brought to Pendleton, Walter Gibson,
as carriage driver. Gibson married
Miss Lewis and gave up driving.
Then he wandered away to one of the
Sandwich islands, and eventually be-
came practically the owner and king
of the island. He was prime minister,
and, though under the monarchy he
was practically dictator of the govern
ment.
