EURoPE's COAL FAMINE.
PHILADELPHIA LedCerN


In Great Britain the price of coal has
risen riser, to 40 shillings, or, in round num-
pers' w a ton, and in many of the
poorer districts an inferior quality has
peen sold in small quantities as high as
% cents q hundred weight.
The situation on the Continent is
most unfavorable. In Germany all the
coal mined is rapidly bought up. and
me nigh price OF it has been made a
parliamentary question. In Austria
the trade is in dire state The 80 600
miners of Bohemia. Moravia and Sile-
STA have taken advantage of the bare
market to strike for 20 per cent. ad
vance and AN eight hour day. Many of
me large iron works have been Obliged
TO draw their fires, and even some of
the railways have been brought to a
standstill for lack of fuel. In Prague
the schools are closed. and It is stated
that the stock OF coal is diminishing
SO fast that unless the strike is settled
soon transportation by railroad and
steamship will be impossible. In the
south OF France the local authorities
nave petitioned the government to re-
mt the import duties on coal. as the
industrial works are generally idle for
want of it. In Belgium and Russia the
domestic supply is far short of the de-
mand. and in all parts of Europe the
same story Of the scarcity, of coal is
told.

THINGS THE CONVENTION DID
NOT DO.

Having seen the very satisfactory
manner in which the convention dis
posed of such matters brought before
It. one naturally wonders:
% Why certain matters, upon which
individual Democrats have taken a
stand. were not considered, and:
CD What would the convention have
done with them If so brought up for
action.
On account of the strong leaning of
wcll-known Democrats towards the
Bocr cause. it was confidently believed
that resolution would be offered and
passed, sympathizing with the little
South African Republic in it's death
struggles against it's great Monarchical
foe. Indeed, the tone of the Demo-
cratic press would have justified such
an anticipation, and the surprise at the
oversight or intentional neglect has
worthy grounds.
Greater still was the surprise at the
absolute ignoring of the Senatorial pri-
mary question. The great May Con-
vertion. held in Richmond. over which
Vim. a. Anderson. of Rockbrldge, pre-
sided. called for the express purpose OF
pushing the question of electing Sena-
tors by primaries, seems to have been
in vain. William A. Jones. though
often called upon. and whose ora torical
appeal at the Roanoke Convention is
still remembered, said nothing of his
pet scheme. Senator Martin, who an
nounced himself some time ago as fav-
orable to Senatorial primaries. did not
make 81 speech co in favor of it.
What does it AL mean? Was 1t con-
scrvatism that suggested to the party
leaders. as better course. to saddle
no more issues than were necessary? ?
We would be inclined to believe tina.
as TO the Boer war: but the same rea-
son does not exist as to Senatorial prl-
maries. This is purely local fight

Legislative Caucus and was an issue in
the Lagislative'Ca Campaign.
But we are constrained to believe
that the entire matter was overlooked

to be done in one day. these questions
were overlooked. And our reason for
SO believing Is this: Some enthusiast.

THE TIN PLATE TRUST.

Few of the industrial combinations
come so near to being complete monop-
olies as the Tin-Plate Trust. 1t con-
trolls thirty-five establishments. There
are but five independent manufacturers
and sixteen independent Clippers and
these are dependent upon the Trust for
black plates for dipping. Persons in
the trade have assured the Philadel-
phia Ledger" that there would be a
profit in making black plates outside
or the Trust If a supply Of billets could
be depended upon. but the Federal Steel
Company, the National Steel Company
and the American Tin-Plate Company
control the tin-plate billets. The Ma
tlonal company will sell billets when it
has them to spare, but it's relations
with the Trust are such that it is re-
garded as doubtful whether 1t would
have any to spare to rival OF the
Trust. The Independent oippers there
fore, are far from being Independent.
The price of tin plates has been rap
idly advanced, and the price Of articles
made from TIN plates has been greatly
advanced to the consumer; but the
jobbers have had their profits reduced
and they are now but little more than
selling agents for the Trust. Two
years ago the carload price of coke tin
was $2.T5 n hundred pounds. At that
price the mills were running. though
not all of them made money. The same
tin Is now selling ut S4.S3 an advance Of
s4l40 ton. 1t is true that the ma
terials and labor have advanced. but
in no such ratio as that. The advance
in plates is greater than the advance
in the products OF plate. so that while
the makers of tin plate have widened
their margin Of profit the margin of
profit for the manufacturers of tin
ware a.s well as that of the jobbers has
narrowed

THE COST OF STRIKES.

Few people perhaps realize the enor-
nous costllness of strikes. though all
are familiar with the suffering often
entailed on the families of strikers and
with the arrangement of business re-
sultant from strikes of a general ma
ture. The following table gives the
estimated loss in Chicago from the
strike in the building trades which has
been on for about five months now.
Number of men involved..... $4,000

of course. all of the S41 1000, 900 embraced
in this estimate is not actual loss. But
S1S,000,000 is clear loss; but this is most
serious for n single city, and in one

1t will be noted that the strikers are

nothing can give back to them the five
months time that has gone by, so moth

TIE GRO OWING OF GROVER.

Strange as It may seem to the coun-
try at large, It DIS none the less a fact
that since it became clear that
Admiral Dewey as Presidential
candidate. was quite impossible. not to
say ridiculous. the element that was
popularity credited with being behind
the Admiral's announcement, has be-
gun to seriously groom Hon. Grover
Cleveland as an opponent of Mr.. Bryan
In the Kansas City Convention.
AS political incident, this Is so en-
urely unimportant, that consideration
OF 1T would be time wasted. All that
1t can be said to come to, is the calling
up of what was once familiar term
Of reproach: "The never learn and ne
YER forget Bourbon Democracy"
Ihere are. of course. a dozen reasons
why, by no contingency or catastrophe
could Mr.. Cleveland b. nominated; and
nothing is more certain than would be
his defeat, If nominated The talk,
therefore, need not be of Mr.. Cleveland
as 9. Presidential possibility.
The phase of this matter. that really
deserves attention. is the fact that
many of the men who are grooming the
ex-Pree9dent, were once leaders of the
Democratic party. and aspire to be
such again. They are the men whose
political foresight and acumen have
been the objects of so much laudation
IN certain quarters. There are they
who were asserted to be able to seize
time by the forelock with never a miss
or slip; veritable Wellingtons in the
warfare of politics. Their detection
from Democracy, their dethronement
as leaders-these were the ever prolific
causes OF lamentation and of tears, in
the HitiDJynum Press. Panegyric and
regret strove for mastery whenever
their names and their going were re-
called. 1t was only by returning as
humble suppliants to these founts OF
wisdom and of light, by bitter penance
and by absolution at their hands, that
the party might hope to come once
more unto It's own. Such has been the
paean we have heard
We respectfully submit, is there any
occasion for the Democratic party to 70
in sackcloth and ashes or the loss of
leaders VINO can bring themselves to
seriously think the Democracy may, by
any chance, make Grover Cleveland its
standard bearer again this year?
Dwells there so much OF superlative
wisdom in the pates of men who can
rot see that Hon. Grover Cleveland is
politically dend; dead as any Phara oh
of Egypt. and by his own hand? Is 1t
the prime essential cr leadership that
1t should be blind to every sign of the
times. deaf to every popular demand,
undiscerning of the significance of the
past; nay, unable to see that the past
is past?
These portents are enough to con-
vince most men that, previous to 1896,
the Democratic party was suffering
with dry rot at the top; that in very
truth it was victorious in 1892, not by
any wise generalship of it's own lead
ers. but by the weakness and stupid
laundering of the enemy. Surely the
change has been we'll for 1t: has put
new life and new energy into 1T. Sure
ly it is better that 1t should have lead
ers who see things somewhat as they
are: who occasionally feel for the pub
lie pulse; who consult the conditions as
they exist in the body polite. rather
than outworn and dlscredited fetiches.
