A correspondent of Uie Philadelphia Press, who says lie has always beeu a protectionist, Is troubled te justify the duty en bituminous coal, and says that if the duty of 75 cents a ten was taken off the consumer would reap the benefit of It, while as it is the consumer pays a high price, and the miner gets se little that lie has te strike for n wage that will support him and his family. The high price seems te this inquirer te enure only te the advantnge of the capitalist ; and he wants te knew what the Press has te say about it. The Press replies in many words and says little. It does net hare the cour age te say that the duty en coal should be repealed as useless, it net oppressive, te the consumer ; but it maintains that it does net Increase the price of coal te theso who u?e it. It it docs net de this it is evidently ineffective as a protection te the coal producer ; he has no use for a duty that does net enable him te get a higher price for his product. It is a fact that the duty en coal does him no geed at nil. The Clearfield coal, shipper gets from fifty Ave te seventy.flve centa per ten for his coal en beard cars, selling te large consumers. The Pennsylvania rail road company charges two dollars and twenty cents for carrying L',000 pounds three hundred and fifty miles te Philadelphia, and but little mere for carrying It te New Yerk. The Press says that the coal costs the New Yerk consumer three dol lars and a quarter. It does net cost any mere than this, and the Bosten people get it for nbiut the same figure. The further east It gees the closer becomes competition with Newfoundland coals ; and the water transportation open from New Yerk and Philadelphia also makes the railroad companies reasonable in their tells. Pennsylvania does net get the benefit of borceal production be cause the carrying companies charge high rates for taking it sheit distiiuees te Pennsylvania manufacturers, and wilj carry it many times the same distance for about the same price te far off places, te which they have te charge small tells te eotthecarrlagontall. If Pennsylvania took reasonable care of the great mineral values which the Almighty has stored within her territory, she would be the richest and greatest manufacturing ceuuffyIntfr-wurld.. Jfogtate could compete with her. And she MQea net need te enact any uncon stitutional, or uufalr or even un generous legislation. All she needs te de is te requite the carrying companies she has chartered , te carry the mitiprals taken from the Beil at no greater charge per mile te places within her borders than they charge te points without them. It is a simple and just require incut which she should have long ace made ; and has net, biruply because the i all reads have dominated her legislation The national Congress may come te her relief by taking the duty from coal aud opening te her the British coal fields. The duty operates only te the aavantage of the railroads. The miner who gets forty cents a long ten for coal aud the shipper who gets sixty cents a short ten are evidently net op pressing the consumer with their chargts. It is the railroad carrier, who takes three "rteur times,' the value of the coal en beaiv,carg at theminea for transport transpert m, v? seaboard, who is the eppres ser.

Blaikk had better ba hurrying up that fiery cauvass he was te give us. Out West they say that the Be publlcaus are fcrgetting that there is a Jteputmcan party and candidate. Ben Butler has started out te sunnlv them tb. a freili ticker, and Incldnntnllv heXmay inform them of the con tinuedvexistence of the Republican party, and warm them up a bit lu his own behalf.ut Butler has net been a distinguished "warmer himself se far. He had a chilling meeting in New Yerk, and he left the Pennsylvania Grangers weary and hungry. Thoveld man has lest his ancient elasticity, and way net be much of n bed warmer ferMJlalne or himself out en the prairies. The Western farraeis seem te think that the Republican party which has brought the business of. the country into such a bad state, with wheat at fifty or sixty cents a bushel, Is net worth bothering about ; and propese te let the election go as it will. Tub New Yerk Sun has an innocent correspondent, whom It puts in double Jeads, who is pervaded with the idea that the proper thing for the Democracy te de is te accept Mr. Cleveland's resigna tion and put Mr. Hendricks in his place ; or, if he will net de, General Butler. The amiable old gentleman obviously should go te Governer Cleveland first with his preposition ; aud if he gets through successfully with him, there would he life enough in it for considera tion. But an aralable old gentleman who thinks Ben Butler would de the De De niecracy for a candldate evidently Is net Bufliciently stocked with vigorous sense tuauuw wiiere wanuress his counsel. This Cleveland tide is new setting in and among the Bfalue forces the work of demoralization caunet be much longer postponed. The report of the great break up in the Northwest by whicli Michigan and Wisconsin are reu dered doubtful, have created consterna tion in the Republican ranks. There is little comfort te be found in the Maine result whatever it be en Meuday next. If the Republicans have a Harrow ma' jerity it will be evidence that Blaineis weak in his own state; while a large Republican vote would indicate that the Irohibltleulatshave peeled their issues with the Republicans, Hither of these conclusions must be fatal te Blaine's chances in the Northwest, and threw cald water ever the canvass in WestVir glnla from which se much Is expcctedf The Butler meeting has been a sere dis' appointment, and the apathy of former Republican leaders is having its effect. Grady, the ex-Tammany chief, has gene ever te the Blaine forces and his exodus has net caused even a ripple In the body politic, It having been developed that prier te his going, be had made overtures te enter the Butler camp. The Deme cracy with their forces constantly grow ing gaze with complacency en the ever widening breaches in the ranks of the enemy. The Cleveland tide Is one that will net ebb until It lands New Yerk's honest governor In the presidential chair. Loek te your registration, the last day. Thursday is a sumcviiKn rnurntev.
