MAKING THE PUBLIC PAY.
The coal Barons Intend to Make the
Consumer Benr the Cost of
the Recent strike.

New York, Nov. 3.-Local coal deal
ers have been thrown into state OF
CONSERVATION by an announcement
that the price of anthracite coal had
been advanced so cents a ton.
This increase is general and applies
TO the annual production of anthra-
cite coal--5o,OOO. 900 tons-it means an
additional profit to the Coal trust OF
25.O00,OOO.
\ dealer, who has analyzed the con-
ditions of mining in the anthracite re-
gion, writes to the Evening Post that,
i'm granting an increase Of ten per
cent. in wages TO the miners the cost
of production will be Increased 81
cents per ton. AS the price OF coal to
the consumer had already been in
creased so cents a ton, the new adj
vance gives the operators an addition
al profit of 81 on the ton, or S5O,0O0,-
900 year.
Deducting from this sum the in
creased cost Of production on the
basis of s4 cents a ton, il will be seen
that. as a result of the strike in the
anthracite region, the operators will
enjoy net increase of S45,s75,00O in
income.

First, the removal of the empress

participation in the Chinese govern
ment, second, the creation OF an in
demnity fund by the increase OF Chi

payment of the duties in gold instead
OF deprecated silver, as al present. OF
else by doubling the present silver

An Was Responsible.

The demand for the retirement OF
the empress dowager is said to result
from the conclusion now generally ac.
cepted, that the imperial government
of China was responsible for the Box.
er uprising. As the empress dowager
was the ruling authority of the i'm.
perial government during the upris'
ing. this responsibility is brought
home directly to her. There is under.
stood to be no purpose, however. &c
visit upon her any personal punish
ment or indignity, but merely to sc
form the reconstructed government
as 10 exclude her from all participa-
ton in it. 1t is deemed advisable, foi
that reason, that she should remain
permanently away from Pekin, and
that her advisers also should be kept
away from the seat of government.
The Doubling Of China's Customs.
The plan of doubling China's Gus
toms duties has arisen from the neer
of finding a source 10 Fay the war in
IDENTITIES which the various powers
demand. 1t appears. however, that
the increase of the duties has here.
tofore been brought TO the attention
of the United States government bJ
Ii Hung Chang. This occurred during
his visit to Washington few years
ago, when it was represented that
the five per cent. was fixed in 1858, by
treaties with the United States, Great
Britain and other countries, and was
payable in silver, at which time silver
was worth as much as gold. But with
the change in the value between silver
and gold, Ii Hung Chang pointed out
that China's five per cent. duty in sill.
YER actually netted only about 2h per
cent. judged by the prevailing gold
standard. The matter was moi,
pressed at the time.
Present Revenues Already Pledged.
China's present customs revenues
are said to be already pledged TO meet
the interest and principal of Chi.
