It contains a num ber of rslusble suggestions, sod will well repay a perusal : ; Tbe movement loeugurated at Parker's Lending, te drill no more wells for six months from tbe 1st of September, Is becom log general. Franklin, Tltueville, and Tidioutebava endoreed tbe actioooflhe Parker's meeting, and promise tbeir b-erty ee-operatioa. Other sesttons will do like- ise. Tbe Lower Creek, we learn, meet to take action to-day. ' There is no use In attempting lo conceal the fact, that tbe Petroleum Region Is just now autTertug from overproduction. Gen tlemen may figure on an amount required for foreign export and home eonsnmptionf but tbe stocks fail lo decrease, tbe produc tion escb month grows greater, and prloes ge down.ateadily. Tbe resources of tbe lower Allegheny oil field aeem illimitable, and tbejextent of tbe territory already clearly defined It enough to insure an ample sapply for Ibis century at least. Thirsting for new fields, tbooper atot Is constantly enlarging this area, and tbe larger It becomes tbe more be is impov erished. The action at Parker's, to cop drilling, bad becoming Imperative. Tel continue drilling wells, and with tbe present rate of Insrease In tbe dally production, for ninety days longer, will bankrupt the srll Region, Prompt and general action on tbe part of producers may save us from such contingen cy. For the preseot to control tbe produc tion la tbe only plan that presents itself to producers, and we earnestly hof all wil see the necessity of such action, and stop tbe drilling of any more wells after the 1st prox , lor tbe six months, as spsolfled. There Is another plan wbloh, though deemed Impossible at preseot, will have to ' be adopted. That is, for tbe producer to sell bis oil as fast as produced, at tbe mar ket price, whatever it may be. This wilj have tbe effect to prevent the gambling lu Ik Tbe producer will then have oasb in bis pocket, can pay bis debts, and by pay ing ready money for all the work be has dooe, can materially Isssen tbe oost ol pro duction, and establishes business on a real basis. The cost of production Is double what It ought to be, and ia caused by tbe Credit system. Tbe following letter Is published by re quest, consequently we have no Interest In the matter whatever.

We bad a curious Illustration of this lo tbe coarse- of tbe Pennsylvania miners' stilka last year. In conaequenoe of tbat strike, coal wen up and kept up, and tbe effect of the advance was felt in the-fall and w Intel by every poor person in New York- Tbe rich men did not mind it; it matters little to them whether coal is $6 00 or 9 00 a too. But with tbe poor wbo buy coal by tbe small quantity, and most of It by tbe pailful from corner groceries is a serious matter wben tbe price of coal advances 26 or SO per cent. Yet tbe very classes in tbi" city wbo suffered from tbe the miners1 loo strike were those who, sympathized with Ibsm in idleness of their own choosing. And all the lime they were tbae aiding and abetting the miners tbey were "pouriog Imprecations" on the beads of tbe coal opar. ators and coal dealers becauaeoal had ad' vanned. Tbe failure or the strikes wasons of tba best things tbat couldhave happened w the poor of New York. Had it succeeded tod tbe "Molly Maguires" been able lo gat the firm upper hand at tbe coal mines, there Us hardly any limit to tbe figure that coal successive demands irom tne miners. Letters from Tebera state tbat more than one hundred thousand men, women and children bave perished in the Persian capi tal famine and plague, and thai tba number of victims througbout tbe country is not less than three millions.
