THE TRADE OF CANADA.
Impart, frem nnd Kiperta la the 1'nlted Elates.
The MoDtreal Gazette gives some Interesting;
facts in relation to the bui-inee s of the Domi
nion, from the report of the Commissioner of
Customs.
"There are some features in it," it says,
"which are especially worthy of note. Our
trade has been steadily augmenting in the direc
tion of exports to the United States. The
balance of trade during the year was in favor of
Canada by something over eight millions of dol
lar?; our imports amounting to $24,728,160, and
our exports to $32,984,052. The chief article of
export was sawn lumber, amounting in value to
$4 004.044. The value of horned cattle ex
ported was f 2,427,68'J.
"Even the poultry yard supplied its quota to
swell the exports, no less thau 1,430,750 dozen
of eggs having been scut across the lines. The
only other item that we propose mentioning is
fire wood, for which the Americans paid the
farmers of Ontario the respectable sum of
1419.616.
"The maritime province exports to the United
Slates, though not so large, are still considera
ble. Nova Scotia sent in coal to the value of
$398,621 and. .salted salmon to the value of
$471,004; while of the products of her forests
she contributed, to swell the value of exports
to tne united mates, sawn lumber to tne value
of $161,076, and firewood to the value of $97,335.
And Mew Brunswisk, exporting nearly a million
more in the aggregate than her Bister maritime
province, has no one special article reaching in
value some of those of Nova Scotia. She sent
fish salted, wet, to the value of $114,927;
$194,236 worth of sawn lumber, and laths to
the value of $92,396. It will be seen from these
figures that- all the provinces contributed
towards this gratifying increase in our export
trade to our neighbors in the United
States. The values aud quantities ot the differ
ent articles of export given by us show how de
pendent the Americans are upon Cauadians for
many articles of our production. That requir
ing them, as they do, so much that even the
euormous duties form scarcely a perceptible
barrier to their Importation, they should still
retain those duties, furnishes a most extraordi
nary iustanee of national biiuduess. To Cana
dians it would undoubtedly be gratifying for
other reasons than purely commercial ones
were there a more free interchange f produc
tions between the two countries; but, so long as
they find their export trade to the States thus
steadily increasing, they can afford to wait with
considerable composure nntll our neighbors are
in a better frame of mind."

No little mystery seems to enshroud the
"Jersey farmer" who drew the Hamilton Opera
Ilouce the other day. There are 6ouie persons
malignant enough to doubt the very existence of
any "tw Jersey larmer suuicienuy specula-
the and careless euough of his five dollars to
invent it in the lottery. At any rate there is
reason to believe that toe pinched varlet
"Greppo," who figures largely in the Black
Crook, has suddenly lumped into tue possession
of 120.000. Mow "Ureopo," la broad daylight,
is a (-lender, hollow-cheeked gentleman, wearing
spectacles, and more like a Methodist parson
than a low comedian. Felix has to complain
that, except for this last stroke of fortune, his
name has been a mlsuoraer. But for the last
two days Felix has been lionized to death. Men
from Booth's and YVallack's and the Fifth Avenue
and everv other theatre in town nock in excited
crowds to bis modest residence. They waylay
him as bis spectacles beam on their way to
Niblo's. They hug him in the Metropolitan bar
room. They vow he is the spriahtliest gentle
man who ever condescended to trim tne annals
of the stage with the lustre of bis fame. Rock
wood is in treaty with him for his photograph;
John Vincent has asked him to dinner; lUrry
Palmer lias promised to keep him going iu
lottery tickets if he will only, on his part, main
tain the credit of the Black Crook by winning;
the "property-man" has refrained from cursing
him. Felix is the lion of the hour, and is glee
fully awaiting his $20,000 check, in order to
loan about $12,000 to expectant friends and

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
A IJav.rnment Oltlrer Balled la Heath.
The Cincinnati Gazette of Thursday savs: A
chronicler of daily events is seldom called upon
to inform the public pi a more terrible death
than yesterday befell Captain Thomas J. Barrv,
a worthy Government storekeeper, at the dis
tillery of Fleluchman & Co., near Sedatmville.
How the Leart-rending accident occurred is
now conjecture; possibly it will always remain
to. After dinner he was 6een sitting by an open
window of the distillery, reading, llolow him,
on the outside of this apartment, was an open
tub, containing the worm. Frequently the
water contained in this vessel became boiling
bot from the heated vapor within. It was so
yesterday. Later in the afternoon Captalu
Barry was needed in the line of bis duty as
storekeeper, and was sought about the premises.
Not being found, a messenger was sent to Se
damsville, with no more success. This awa
kened apprehension, and a more careful search
about the distillery was made. At last the hat
of the unfortunate man was discovered near the
tub, and the terrible thought came flashing Into
the mind that the storekeeper might be in this
ver-sel. With fears for the wor.t the contents
of be tub were examined.
There the body of the officer was found lite'
rallv boiled. Whether as he sat he was sud-
donlv aMzed with a fainting fit. or bad fallen
atWn and tumbled in. or had fallen in unawares
while looking into the vessel, is left entirely to
conjecture.

Sf trial Venpatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Scranton, March 4 The following, from
the Bcranton Kcpublican, Is the address of Pre
sident Keally, of the Workingmen's Benevolent
Association:
To the rublic: Who is responsible for the
scarcity aud kigh price of coal ? is the question
that looms up in fearful importance. It comes
home to all, because coal is one of the necessi
ties of every household; also because a sunnlv
at reasonable prices is absolutely necessary to
the continuauce of those great manufacturing
interests which give employment to and by
which millions earn their daily bread. The
poor widow and tne wealthy Ironmaster
unite in uttering imprecations on
those who have caused the supply to cease and
E rices to so advance that the fireside of the one
as become cheerless and the fortune of the
other lies forever burled iu his chilled furnaces.
Who deserve the jut indignation of an out
raged public? Upon whom should the impre
cations ot the orphan and the widow, of the
wealthy reduced to poverty, fall ? Who is the
guilty party? The public, through the press of
the laud, answer the coal miner, a name, from
its reported associations of love of idleness,
demands of exorbitant wages, blackened by
being accused of foul crimes, has become in
famous, aud has become in every household
around the coal reglou a veritable raw-head and
bloody bones.
The papers charge the Workingmen's Benevo
lent Association with a coal crisis. Silence
gives consent Men ask, When have we seen a
statement of the union of miners and laborers
in the coal fields corrected, a single accusation
refuted? Has a single organ, except their own
official organ, printed a line in defense or ex
tenuation of their course? No! As. proof, men
cite the Miners' Journal, a pnper published in
the interests of the coal fields. Its veteran editor,
with more than a quarter ot a century's expe
rience, yet controls a paper most bitter in its
denunciations of the nuion, and profuse in do
picting in their true colors (black) the injus
tice, at borne aud abroad, of the W. B. A.
It says:- "Oue thing is certain: operators,raU
road corporations, aud the public press, are
against the W. B. A." Has the public ever asked
the question, Is the miner the only person In
terested in advancing the price of coal? Have
operators refused to sell ut high rates? Have
they given the workmen the benefit of high,
piices? Have the railroads raised the tonnage
to double amounts for the benetlt of the public
during the time of the coal famine? When pro
perty is opposed to wealth, when
ignorance to learning (or rather
simplicity to astuteness), which
slue triumphs ? Is moneyless powerful with the
press than with our legislators ? Money to-day
is the lion of the fable divide the piece into as
many parts as you please, he will have attri
butes which lay claim to all but one, and who
claims that is his enemy. The wealth of one
it ay be a reason why he is loud-mouthed: the
poverty of another why lie is so irate. We, the
recognized officers of the Workingmen's Benevo
lent Association, feel that it would be
ciimiijal in us' longer to lie udder
the foul charges which by interested parties
have been heaped upon the men of the coal
retrion. We feel it to be not only our privilege
but our fluty to reiute me many miutitarious
accusations which from time to lime have been
brought before the public by out- avowed ene
mies, or by those who were deceived by them,
or w ho tbrouch ignorance of our cu"se and
motives maligned us, but whese stateueuts were
even Ices credible.
Ibis defense we do not propose to mike bv
entering the lists with any particular enemy or
enemies, by making this or that c nut ire or in
eliiunilon, wbeu it is an impossibility, but by a
brief, clear, and truthful statement of tun object
ol our union, and tne meaus by wntcu it was
intended, and by which we have endeavored, to
carry that object out, leatlng to the
voce of a discriminating public
whether it was a lust obiect.
or whether their laws, requisitions, or actions
have brought about the deplorable situation in
which a poor man is compelled to spend two
thirds ot his month's wages to purchase a ton of
coal. It is not our intention to weary the pub
lic by a long rehearsal of all the motives that
impelled the men of the coal region to form the
woikingmen Benevolent Association, we win
not tpeak of the necessity of men employed in
the jaws of death being banded together
for mutual protection, in lime ot need, to secure
legislation that would require operators who
otherwise did not value the life of an employe
as much as that of a mule, because the former
entailed no personal loss, to adopt such mea
sures and go to sucn expense as would ulve
some security to those who were in the bowels
of the eaith, and for such humane precautions
as could avoid those terrible disasters fraught
with such destruction to humin life. These and
other interests dear to the W. B. A. we will pas s
ever, because they concern oniy human life aud
the alleviation of human misery.
We will come down to the question of dollars
aad cents, which just now most interests the
public, and tell them how the organization
works in regard to suspension, aud consequently
bow it affects the supply and price of coal. Why
does ibe W. B. A. decree and require suspen
sions and strikes Because the coal neida now
opened, wLen worked to ihcir full capacity,
would throw into the market a supply one-fifth
in excess of the demand; or. in other words,
would send to market 21,000,000 tous, whereas
only 16,000,000 tons can be used.
Hence, if there was no suspension 5,000,000
tons more wouia ne produced than coma do
used. The consequence of tne entire force la
the coal region working constantly for three
ears would be, that coal would so deDreclate
that the price for a ton of coal would not pay
the operator, much less pay living wages to tbe
miners. It is an indisputable fact, also, that the
operators recoirnlze the necessity ol suspension
There are two remedies for tbls surplus of the
supply. Tbe first is for those who know nothing
of the work Ws of tbe coal region, and thowe
who cannot find coaUut emplaynun'., to etnl
a-ate where they can find constant and remuuer-
i yje frajuoyiaem.
Opposition to th! plan is not made by tbe
V. B. A., but it has two enemies: Kirn. In
difficulty of dttetm'.t lag who thai1, or stou d, or
must en Igrate. Some uiut-t remaiu In the col
lioiies. Who it to determine who and how many
shall leave ? Second. The operators are op
posed to it, and how ? By their action; for it Is
tbe interest and practice of the Individual ope
rators and of the coal corporations, when tbe
market is active and prices are high, to employ
as ninuy men and work as manr hours m tuey
can, and thus make hay while the sun shines.
The second remedy is that of the W. B. A.,
and is based on the fact that all admit tbe ne
cessity t t curtailing the supply by reducing It
to the demand. Tbe one-fifth surplus of coil
must be reduced. This cannot be accomplished
by reducing tbe number of miners; it can only
be accomplished by a one-fifth reduction of the
hours of labor.
Tbe W. B. A., by suspensions and strikes,
sought to deplete tbe market, not to wit'wraw
the supply of coal, but to make the stock equal
to tbe consumption, aud when the market is
thus brought to its healthful state, to mike
eight hours instead of ten a day's labor, bainjr
their determination on the fact that since tncu
throughout the world were agiUting the ques
tion whether ten hours did not overtask tbe
physical strength of the average man,
and wete actually prevailing, by
introducing the eight-hour sys
tem. The W. B. A. askc If ten hour overtasks
a man working in the open air. what effect must
ten hours have upon the constitution of one who
labors a thousand feet beneath the surface, breath
ipgfou', damp air, often filled with smoke aud
standing over shoe-top in waier? There Is no mm
who will not say eight hours Is enough for such a
one. But this necessitates a corresponding
advance in the price of labor. Men say, "Think of
the poor sewing-girl, or the poor washerwoman; of
the. poor widow and her family, whase week's wages
ere barely sufficient to purchase a ton of ci !"
We know from experience what It Is to be poor, and
we know, too, that those who are mkfng hundred
of thousands yearly by the sweat of minors are not
remarkable for donations of coal to the sewing-girl,
or the ftldow, although they could better atfird to
do so on their profits than the miner oq his wanes.
cf ourfeellLgs and those whom we represent, it
does not become us to speak. Let the pay-rolls at
the different offices of the coal Operators show what
men In the coal regions feel for the poor. The
question between the miners and the public is
not one of charily but of justice. It has been con
stantly kept before the public that the "V. B. A."
demanded terms so exorbitant as to preclude the
possibility of the successful working of
the mines, and that If their demands were
acceded to the resumption of work
would be short-lived, and this battle would only
have to be refought TP.at there would be a cm
llnue.fl recurrence of suspensions at intervals
known only to the W. B. A., and consequently that
operators could not bind themselves u fulfil con
tracts for coal. Consumers would have no notice
when their suppiy would be cut orr". The public
have been told that by the, 1859, or 3 bfisis. mixers
et-rned fabulous amounts-n fact, that their wages
amounted to as high as 1300 In the caleudar mouth.
This is true, say the public.
The Board of Operators have asserted it in seve
ral addresses to the public, and the reason alleged
ior reduction was, mat coal sn itiin be sold at such a
D go re at to be within the reach of all. Firt take
the beam out of thine own eve. When tiava coal
operators told the public of fabulous profits of a
man one nunureu miles away ironi ma breaker
clcarlnglhe small sum of sixty thousand dollars iu
five months ?
An operator can be produced who has grown noor
within the last year, but the number Is legion who
have risen within a few years ironi poverty to opu
lence, and who can sy with the utmost nonchal
ance. "I don't care a whether they work or not
let the colliery rot I have money t live on yet."
This modern Dives is like mm or old, reeding sump
tuously, clothed in purple and line linen, reluctantly
allowing a few crumbs to worklngmen.
We state a ract neyona contradiction wnen we
say the maximum is not more than one hundred
dollars per month, while he works, supposing the
work to continue for 10 months. Owing to accidents,
weather, aud repairs, it cannot last longer. Tils
weuld be eighty dollars per mouth. Is this mo much
for him who is exposed to the danger or being
rrusked by falling coal and rock, and whose occupa
tion Is considered fit 11 more hazardous from the
qusntlty of powder he must use?
Tne miners use ou an average iweuiv Kegs per
month. Even those who have got this much trutii
have an erronefins idea of what a miner earns. Even
when they consider that the men have not worked
more than seven mouths during the la two yeaM,
which makes their average wages less thau ftM).
There is one fact in which the public la la profou id
