addition to our local industries is of
course important. But manufactures
do not grow up spontaneously. Cheap
coal is only one element in running a
successful manufacturing industry,
and it is not the most important one.
If a city seems to be declining in pros
perity from whatever reason, indus
trial speculation shuns 1t. The young
men first begin TO stampede, the older
generation passes away. and torpidity
and stagnation set In. The men Of
money, energy and brains go digging
holes" as it were, in New Mexico, or
explore the "auriferous ice fields of
Alaska" 'Tis pity, but the fact cam
not be gainsaid. Nothing of this kind,
however is likely to occur in Scranton.
We want one thing, and that we must
and will have. When the mountain

AN OUTSIDE VIEW.


From the Philadelphia Stockholder.
The movement now in progress TO
"boom hard coal" is certain to turn out
to be altogether futile unless supported
by the railroads whose traffic consists
very largely of the product of the anthra-
cite region. This support must embrace
elimination of bituminous as a locOmo-
tive fuel on those lines, and such a re-
adjustment of prices and tolls as will
bring cost of hard coal at points of con-
sumption measurably near that of soft
coal. The conservation of the anthracite
industry is literally essential to the life
of at least three of the railroad sys-
tens operating in eastern Pennsylvania.
The position of affairs at this junCture
is most critical, and positive action Of
some sort is loudly called for. The use
of anthracite for steam making purposes
has been decreasing latterly at an alarm
ing rate and even the domestic employ
ment of hard coal, regarded as the last
entrenChment of that interest, already is
seriously affected by the encroachmcnts
of bitumnous coal i'm the form of gas.
People who have investments in anthrd-
cite mining and railroad properties are
demanding that something shall be done
for their protection, and it should be
quickly done.

confounding the seigniorage with
the transmutation of silver bars into
silver dollars. whereas, as we have al
ready pointed out. there can be no
seignicrage or profit on the coinage of
silver dollars or subsidiary coinage un-
til they are accepted ty the public and
paid for at the treasury. There is no
scigniorage from the coinage of gold,
because the government does not charge
for its coinage. The only cost on the
coinage of gold is for the small guam
tity Of copper alloy which makes the
metal more easily workable in the pro-

by attrition when coined. The none
