The amount of coal distributed aloag the lines . of our Canal .
and Railroad in the first year, Was upwards of 150,000 tone, and
from the bestinformation to be obtained frotn.other 'sources, We
conclude that at least 270,000 tons have been similarly disposed
of on the other lines, making a tptal of 420,000 tons dispersed, -
on the lines of improvements for consomplion, and leaving
1,923,992 tons of Anthracite that reached the terminations of the •
- Railroads and Canals on tide water. '- •
. •In loOking over the increase for a few years past, we'muSt
c conclude that about 2,800,000 tons will he required to supply
the demand for The present year. and following up the same rate
of annual increase which may be observed in the business for'
some years "past; we shall find that the product in the year 1850.
'mist be at least 4,500,000 tons tci . nicet the demand; of which
the Sehuylkill,will be required to send forward 2,500,000 tone,'
or perhapsitore, as her portion of Otis rapiav•inereasinff trade.
The Schuylkill Trade the present year will probably reach7l : soo.-
090 tons. .There now appears to be 142 Collieries in this Cann—,
ty, which have yielded in the past year 1,295.928 tons of coal,
giving an average of 9000 tone for each colliery, though the ,
quantity produced by. each, has varied very materially from the
average . , sane, harincr.yielded as much as:30,000 ton and Oth
ers not more than 20 - 00 tons. '
Of these 142 Collieries, 107 of them are above the Water lev

As soon as this bill went iatao operation to inv. extent, - business'

. "from its passage,
the who'e industry of the country was pro.itrated,,the middling
classes were sunk to a state of poverty.:and those who' were
only.peor before, were dFgrad.e(l;',lrn^t. to beggary. .
The passage of the-tariff-bill of 1912 instilled new life into -
ill kinds of business and the people were ebntcntedly and pros'
peronsly progressing in; their various. avocations, when ddring,
the past yeAr a bill withdrawing a large poifien or the protection.
heretofore enjoyed, was passed into a law of the land, onaSked,;,
unpetitioned for, and unexpected by tfie people
~ And we fully believe ;that the people as soon as they feel the
influence of this, law, if not before,- will ileiliand . a repeal of such
