Frovthe-t J". Keening lint. TLe permanent interest of the whole country is closely identified with the supremacy of Bound economical principles. The question of protection or revenue reform is sometimes presented as if it were a sectional question; as if it were the interest of coal, iron, and clotb-producing States or communities, for in stance, against the interest of the agricultural States. This is not true. Every coratnuaity in the whole nation, taken in its entirety, is directly and immensely interested in having our revenue laws reformed acoording to eco nomical science. For instance, there is no (State in the Union that will be more benefited in its permanent prosperity by the repeal of all productive duties than the coal and iron State of FenD&ylvania. This is easily proved to every candid mind. The communities that nature ha? more richly endowed than any other with opportunities for supplying the world with cheap iron at a Erofit to themselves, are precisely those of the ehigh, Schuylkill, Lackawanna, and Alle gheny valleys. With the mountains of iron ore and coal aronnd them, with the indomita ble energy and unequalled ingenuity of Ameri can labor, and with the rapid accumulations of capital to which large production must gradually lead, Fennsylvanians ought soon to ave no rival in the world's markets for iron and steel, under a healthy, natural growth of this great industry. They might ere now have beaten Great Britain at home, and taken contracts for iron buildings and steel bars in London, as Belgians and Prussians have actu ally done of late, over the heads of the Scotch and English furnaces and mills. A company of capitalists in this city have erected mills for producing steel rails directly from their own pig-iron; they own the ore, the furnaces, and the rolling machinery, all within easy reach of one another and of coal mines; and they assure ns that they can pro duce steel rails, equal to the English im ported rail, at a cost to them of fifty-five dollars in currency a ton, even at the present exorbitant cost of the necessaries of life, and therefore of labor. Were all protective duties repealed this company could still pay their laborers the value of more bread and meat, better clothing and lodgiug, and larger savings than they now make, and Bell their rails at once at fifty dollars a ton, with large profits on their capital; and could cheapen the product every year nntil they could supply Belgium and Prussia themselves with rails, in defiance of European competition. What hinders them ? Nothing but the short-sighted policy of the manufacturers themselves, in maintaining duties which sustain exorbitant prioes, and in restricting the production, in order to pre vent prices from falling. The duties can only be kept up on one article by keep ing them np on hundreds of others, by a general conspiracy of manufacturers. Hence a general Bcale of high prices, bur densome to the people at large, and repress ing the productive energies of the manu facturing industry itself. Give us cheap rent, cheap fuel, cheap clothing, cheap food, by repealing the duties on all the necessaries of life and on all the materials of industry; and the amount the people will have to ex pend for iron and steel, for improvements, for railroads and machinery, for ships and houses, will be vastly increased: the demand will be greater, the production far cheaper, and the immeasurable resources Pennsylva nia has for supplying coal, iron, and steel will be developed as never before. In such a state of things the workshops and mines of Pennsylvania will be one in in terest with all her other industries; for they will all grow together. Now the case is arti ficially reversed. The mills and mines are "protected;" that is, they are paid large bounties at the expense of the whole mass of the people. The mill-owners and mine owners are made into a great aristocracy, to enrich which the farmers, shoemakers, labor ers, and professional men are heavily taxed. The people are divided in interest, between the masses, who are oppressed and burdened, and a few hundred monopolists, who rule them, tax them, and fatten on them. Were free trade to ruin every mill owner, furnace owner and mine owner in the State, still Pennsylvania would be the richer for it in five years; for nine tenths of her people would be relieved from an imposition which they can poorly bear, while the other tenth would only lose that to which they have no right, their artificial monopoly. But it would not ruin them; it would only compel them to use and drive the energies they now repress, and to extend to the utmost the production they now strive to limit. Why does not Pennsylvania see this ? Why do not the masses of her people see that they at least are only injured by the monopolies among them ? Why do not the monopolists themselves see that their permanent pros perity is bound up with free competition and unlimited production ? Who is to blame for this blindness which seems to effect the whole community ? It has not always been so. In 1841, when Pennsylvania eleoted Mr. Polk, free trade was nobly advocated in many parts of the State. It is true that there were complaints, when tha reformed tariff of 184G was passed by the casting vote of a Pennsylvanian in the Senate, that the canvass had not been open, and that the voioe of the State had been unfairly gained for free trade. But the result vindiotted the State from the charge that she had blundered. After a full trial of the new tariff, Pennsyl. vania in 1852 again emotioned it. bv the deliberate support of Mr. Pierce, who was an open Iree-traaer, ana again, in 1856. she gave an enormous majority for her own poli tician. Mr. Buchanan, whose triumph was immediately followed by the passage, by hia own party, of the low revenue tariff of March .5. 1857, with its maximum duty oi twenty five per cent, ad valorem upon everything exoept spirits and wines; and that with the cheerful acquiescence of Pennsylvania, then richer and more prosperous than she had ever jueen unaer a protective poucy. All this is changed; and while every other part of the Union is rapidly growing in eoo. nomioal knowledge, Pennsylvania goes back ward. All other States are moving rapidly towards a thorough revenue reform, but this State apparently grows more perverse every day in blind adherence to monopoly. The reason is not difnoult to find; it is because of the cowardly and dishonest abandonment of their true principles by leaders of the Demo cratic party in that State. With two or three exceptions even the Pennsylvania Democrats In Congress are afraid of tha monopolists at home, and dare not say what they know to be true, nor advooate the principles which they once proclaimed everywhere, and whloh they at ill, in private, admit to be unques tionable. , - DO YOU BITE YOUR TIIUMB AT U3, SIR? From the A. 1'. Tribute. If we knew exactly what Mr. Disraeli wanted the British Government to do by way of chastising American insolenoe, we should doubtless appreciate more justly than we can at present the withering observations up on our behavior which form the most valuable portion of hia recent speech in the House of Commons. We kuow very well that Mr. Dis raeli does not regard us an gentlemeu, for when he put an American colonel into hia list novel he was careful to explain that oar countryman got into tnch fine company only by virtue of being a Southern planter. We know, too, that in the philosophy of "Lothatr" the greatest of the Creator's works is a high old Tory aristocracy around whioh the rest of mankind revolve as planets aronnd their sun. To "insult" such an aristocracy a this is of course a very serious matter; and Mr. Disraeli is almost an much shocked by the "rowdy rhetorio" of American orators as hi own St: Aldegonde might be with a rabble of bhopkeepers and costermongern who shoul J make faces at him through the windows while he dined with Mr. Pinto. Mr. Disraeli has a complacent conviction that he has never pro voked us. It is true we have taken a good mcny liberties with -the Euglish language; nevertheless be never proposed to recognize the Southern Confederacy, and tho Tory party in its conduct during our civil war has nothing to reproach itself with. In spite of this for bearance, we have several times spoken dis respectfully of tho British aristocracy, and have gone so far as to assume towards Bor land a more hostile tone than we permit our selves to use towards any other nation in the world. Actually the Yankee beggars are rude, you know positively rude! Mr. Disraeli thinks it is time this insolence should stop, and suggests that the departure of the high commissioners for Washingtoi "will bo a good opportunity to oome to a clear understanding on this point that England cannot be insulted or injured with impu nity," and will notptrmit herself to be treated differently from other nations. This menus either that England must fight us if Mr. Sumner or General Butler makes another rude speech, or that she must threaten to fight without the least iutention of carrying her threat into execution. The latter course i-t the ono which Mr. Disraeli evidently prefer. Perhaps he has been reading Ilsrnco and Juliet: Abram. Do yon bit yonr thumb at us, sir? Sampson. 1 do bit a my thuiuD, sir. Abr. Do you bite jour thumb at u , air? ham. No, sir, 1 do not bite my thumb at you, sir: bin I bite tut thumb, sir. Gregory. Do you qnarrel, sir? Abr. Quarrel, sir? No, air. And now suppose we turn the tables. If a rnde speech is sufficient cause of war, why should not we bully a little too ? Why should not the High Commission be politely informed by Secretary Fish that this is a good oppor tunity to oome to a clearunderstanding on the subject of insolence in Parliament, and espe cially that we do not mean to stand any more of Mr. Disraeli's speeches? Here is an ex-Premier not only accusing us of bad man ners and rowdy rhetorio, but even aspersiug our parts of speech. Let us bite our thumbs at Queen Victoria, which it is a disgrace to her if she bear it! But joking aside, the spectacle of Mr. Disraeli standing aghast over one of General Butler's speeches, and rising with preternatural solemnity in the House of Commons to call for an immediate increase of the army and navy to teach America politeness, is an absurdity so wild thtt one cannot think of it without amusement. We know he doesn't mean fight; and if we judged him only by his early career, we should say that he does not really believe disrespect to the British Government to be a sin for whioh the sinner ought to be swept off the face of the earth. But Mr. Disraeli has kept very grand company of late years, and may be he has oome to think that rudeness to the Foreign Office is a sort of leze majesty whioh cannot be too severely punished, nor avenged at too dear a cost. THE COAL COMBINATION TnE FACTS IN THE CASE. From the N. Y. Herald, The excitement about the price of coal is naturally very great in the city. The ques tion as to whether we shall have a coal famine in midwinter in this vast metropolis is a very serious one. At no previous time within our memory did coal command such an exorbitant price as it has reached now. Once, we be lieve, it touched the alarming maximum of seventeen dollars a ton, and held that price for a few days only. On two or three seasons later the puce went up to fourteen dollars, and stood firm for a considerable time at that figure. QOf course, it was then regarded as an extortion to which people had of necessity to submit. lo-day, witnout any apparent honest cause, the price of coal has gone up to nearly twenty dollars a ton. We presume that every one understands where this infamous extortion oomes from. It is the creation of a wicked combination between the railroads and the wholesale coal dealers, which should be orushod at once by Congres sional legislation. We suggested the reme dies in our columns on Thursday, and we rei terate them now. The immediate removal of the duty on foreign coal, as a present remedy, and, for a permanent cure of this grievous evil, the enactment of suoh laws by Congress as will plaoe the management of the railroads under the control of the Government. We perceive that our suggestion with regard to the abolition f duties on coal imported from the British pro vinces received immediate attention in Con gress yesterday by the introduction of a re-io-lution to that effect. We hope it will not be disregarded. The speediest way to crush these Pennsylvania monopolies is to indulge in a little free trade practice on this question of foreign coal. They will get so frightened lest the free trade notion may spread that they may be coerced into relinquishing their present despotic courses. The trouble in the coal regions is very simple. When the war broke out the ooal mine owners had not been prosperous. The business of coal mining had been constantly overdone. With the war came a general ad vance in prices, an enormous inorease in the consumption of coal, both for shipping, iron smelting, and general manufacturing pur poses, and naturally a corresponding advance in the prioe of coaL The mine owners thought their harvest time bad oome, and rapidly put up prices, but resisted all advanoe in the wages of men the until compelled by repeatei btrikes. Although each strike was made an excuse for a fresh increase in the price, and thus in reality benefited the mine owuera, they yet cannot pardon the men fjr having. as they aay, dictated terms to them. They claim that the men should be satisfied with such wages as they, the employers, think fair, and they have for years past beeu trying to break the spirit of the men, and have aworu to break up the association by the aid of which the men have been enabled to work in rjnison. , In 18C9, when many of the mine owner bad aotaineh coal on hand, and the price had gone so low that many of the smaller ope rators and oome of the railroad companies were trembling on the verge of bankruptcy, ILey mere glad euotigh to get the Miners' Association to oonaent to a percentile siHpun-f-u n, in order to relieve the i arket of tha excessive Mock. But when they had suo cecded in putting np the price aud haJ palmed off their accumulated surplus on the ptiblio at high figures they wanted the tuna to go to woik at the old rate of was, which the men naturally refused. They haH: "You sked ns to atau-1 i'JK in order to enable yoi t-t get mure money out of your stunk and save yon from bankrnp'cy. We think we are untitled ia participate in the profits, which you derive 1 partly at our expense." Oat 'of tus grew hat is calhd the "basis system," by whijli the WKges of the men are regulated in aiorl auce with the Belling price of cal at the principal points of shipment near tha mine. Almost all the mine owners accepted the ha-iis sjMeiu. But for the overgrown railroad com panies, who are the largest ooal mine owners, and who are accustomed to dictate disp ti cally alike to their uiplyt-s,"wuoin they pay, and to the public, the idea that the m-ia should participate in their profit is utterly Ulibeaihble. When at the close of 1870 it w,w evident that the mine owners had again produced more coal than the market ws able to take, they again nut the Miners' Assooit ion to on sent to a peaceable suspension by tuaus of which tuty were enabled to agaiu aivanoe the prire on the public woik oil' their sUnk at high figures, aud umke the publio believe that the sole cause of the advance was the ULfairi,e8 of the working miners. This He Bppeais to exist to-dy. At a t&iaatini of He coal operators, carrying companies ai d iron manufacturers hold in Philadelphia on Thursday, a series of resolutions were adopt d, which were directed almost entirely to the terms by which the workiug miner conld be controlled. It is evident enough, we thiiik, that the advauoe in the prioe of roal does not originate in the coal uituiog districts, but comes exclusively from an itifsmons combiustion between the Pmiusyl vhuih railroad companies and the coal ope rators. There is, doubtless, plenty of c jtl in the mining rtgious. Au advertisement iu a Ilariisburg pBper of Tuesday, for instance, announces in tbe ordinary way that coal is col. til. tied to be sold at h oertnin establishment for four dollurs a tun,citr-f ully screened at t hat. Frcui a statement made by the To vauda Uj.i1 Company it appears thst the actual cost of coal per ton, delivered anywhere on the line of the Erie Railroad, ia only one dollar an I reventy-eigLt chiih. Tht-Be faots prove almost positively that we are indebted to the Pennsj lvuuia railroad monopolies for tb) present coal fraud. They prove alsj the necessity of Congress taking immediate steps to put tLe ruilroads throughout the country under the management of the Government. Nthii g else can snve us from such iut.tler able evils as this villanons extortion of in creasing three-fold the rate of transportation, and thus advancing the prioe of coal to four times its actual vlue. The citizens sh .mid rise up in publio meeting and demand of Congress to take instant action in this matter. FEMALE FINANCE. From the Ar. Y. World. It is truly painful to observe that even stror-jii tided women do not live iu that sweetness of harmony which beseems the toilers and sufferers in a common cause. The etymology of "virago" indeed show that the ancients considered that, in propor tion as woman approximated muscularity she lost amiability, and that she grew wise au 1 sour concurrently. Nevertheless, the au cimts had not the happiness of possessing for the confutation of tl.is theory such types at once of sweeti.ens and of light as Miss Anthony aud Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. Wood Lull aud Miss Clsfliu. We may proudly say that they would have beeu impossible in any era previous to our own.' And yet even the strong-minded women may consider, as the case of S.vin delle versus Woodhull shows, that their little hands were made, in spite of Dr. Watts, to tear each other's eyes. The litigants in that suit have made kaste to show how hiih a value tbey set upon the reciprocal preroga tives which our liberal laws have bestowed upon them the glorious privilege of "suing" at d the sweet boon of luiug sued. But if women and children are forbidden to bark and bite, bears aud lions, and by inference bears and bulls, are expressly permitted that amusement by the sacred bard. And when a woman becomes a bull or a bear ahe inevi tably takes npon her the nature of the beast, and unest for herself the oornuted weapon which, in a more secluded way of life, she is content to bestow npun her husband. Bit her inexperience is fatal to her suooess. When the male speculator employs the male broker and is what the street calls "stuck," he pockets his losses and curses his luck. When the female operator with a female broker meets the same affliction, she sues the broker and a sympathetic jury gives her da uaqes, which makes the business of female broker age precarious, besides giving rise to soeue.s distiessing to the philanthropic mind.
