the skill of the most practical Dentist iti tie

!don't go ottt this evening,' and the
soling girl, who had scarcely numbered
fourteen years, laid liei 4 band upon the
arm of her parent.

• ` Oh, yes, fatlier,? iirged•Mary, 'draw

a storm, and.l wouldn't go out:'•
' Storm ! Nonsense! That's only
your pretence.'itut I'll be home Soon—
long: before the rain, if:itcomesat
And saying this, Mr. Edwards turned
from his daughter, and left the house.
As-soon • as she - -was 'alone, _Mary sat
down and, commenced weeping. • 'There
had been sad changes since she was ten
years old., -In that time ber . father bad

not only wasted lila substance, but

Mother biid died brokell-Hearted; leav

The young girl's trials, under these
painful circumstances, were • great.:r --
Night after night her father would conic ,

thing to get kind Word from 'him,
that a tone of affection from- his , lips
would " Move'. her . Instantly - to tears.
Daily the Work - of declension, went On.
Drunkenness led to idleness, and grad=
ually Mr. Edwards and his child sunk
lower and still lower in the scale of
comfort. Tlie Pleasant home where
they had lived for years was given up,
and in Small, poorly furnished' rooms
they hid themselves from..observation.
Afterthis change 'Mr. Edwards moved
along is down Ward 'way Morerapidly ;
caring less and drinking More.
Mary grew oici fast. -Under severe
trials and afflictions, her mind rapidly

At last, in the anguialt of herconeern,
she ventured upon remonstrance. This
'brought only ail - my repulse, adding
bitterness to the "cup of sorrow. The
appearance to which we have alluded,
gave Mary an excuse for urging her
father not to go out. How her -remon
stance was received has been seen.—
While the poor girl: sat weeping, the
distant rolling of thunder indicated the_
apProach of the storm to which she hiku
reterred. But she cared little for it now.

Now that fie was away, the agitation
within was tt.o great to have any con
cern fur the turbulent weather without.
On leaving his Willie, Mr. Edwards,
who had not talteu auy liquor for three
or four houra,'and - whose appetite was
sharpened fur the accustomed stiwulus,
walked quietly hi the direction vi a
drinking house where he usually spent
his evenings. On ehiering he footle
that there was a little coma/W..10u iu the
ear-room. . A certain individual net
overtrieLstily- to landlords, bud intro
duced lihnself ; and, his character being
known, the inmates were disposed to
have a little spurt with him.
Cotne, now, fellow,' said oue, just as
Itiltartis came ie. •Isloulit .this tattle
and uailto a hrst-rute tekuperauce
speech.'
. • Do, and I'll treat you-to the stiffest
glass of whisky toddy the landlord eau
mix,' added another. perhaps
yOu'd like a mint julep or gin_ cocktail
better. Anything you please. Make a
speech and call for the liquor. I'll
.
stand the treat.'
`Vv"hat d'ye day, landlord ? Shall he
make the speech ?' said another, who
was eager fOr the sport.
Please yourselves,' replied the land
lord, 'and you'll pleasetne.
Very well. Now for the speech, old
fellow 1 Here; mount this table.' And
two or three of the most 'forward took
hold of his arms.
.1 am not in the humor to make a
speech,' said the temperance man, 'but
if it will please you as well, I will sing
you a song.'
Give a song then. Anything to ac
commodate. But come, let use liquor
first." tl
so,' said the other firmly, 'I must
sing the song first, if I sing at all.'
`Don't you think ylitir pipes will be
clearer for a little drink of some kind
or other ?'
Perhaps they would,' was replied.
'So provided you have no objection,
I'll take a glass of cold water, if such a
thing is known in this plaer . 1
The glaSs of water was presented
and then 'the man, who was some
what advanced in years, prepared to
give them the promised song. All
stood - listening attentively, Edwards
arnong_the rest. The voice of the old
man was biw - atul tremulous, yet every
word was uttered distinctly and with
pathos whin showed that the meaning
was felt. The following well-written
temperance song was the one he sang,
and while his voice, _filled the room
every other sound was hushed :

ANTHRACITE COAL INTERESTS.
- REMARRS OF OEN. CAMERON
In the U. S. SeNUE " , March'7, on the oc
castion of presenting a. Armorial set
ting forth the • importance of the An
thracite and Bituminous Coal Inter
ests of Peniasvlvania.
Mr. President ; In presenting this
petition, I wish to call the attention of
Senators to the:interesting region from
which it comes, and to submit some
facts concerning its wonderful develop-
Meat; trustingJ. that the exhibit will
prove useful, by inducing .this body to
reflect on the vast interests now held
iu the anthracite and other coal-produ
ding territory of. the country. lam not
without belie that an intelligent study
of this subject will 'show the import
once of such legislation as shall contin
ue the development of the coal fields of
the whole country, and so prevent the
destruction of the 'industries which fur
nish a market for this, important ,arti
ele, and mainly depend -on its produc
twit.
All that I shall recount has taken
place within my wivn memory and un
der my own obserVation.
,'"hen I was
a yofmg man, the land from which such
vast wealth has' Been extracted was a
wilderness. It could be t houghti for fif
teen or twenty cents
,an acre, and no
onewould have it at any price. To pay
the taxes on it was deemed folly and
extravagance. Then population was
spares and comfort unknown. Now,
this whole region teems with a bus s t
throng, and it.has become , the aboae of
opulence, intelligence and refinement.
On the earth's surface, the unending la
bor of well-paid men goes on—and far
down in the mines, the busy scenes of
the upper world are repeated.
The,anthracite coal region of Penn
sylvania-4hieh comprises all of any
importance in the country—ls confined
within an area of 470 square miles, or
30,0,000 . acres. I state this now, that it
may be 'remembered when I come to
speak of the enormous production that
, has.beert attained and the-vast capital
that is now' Invested in thiscoal ter
ritory. I present the increase in mined
coal and population in Schuylkill coun
ty, Pennsylvania, giving the figures
with critical accuracy; while, as to the
population directly subsisting and at 7
tributablo to the mining interest in thC
remaining parts of the hard coal region
I estimate from reliable data and an tin
timate knowledge of the locality and a
personal observation of the subject!
The year 1820 marked •the beginning
of anthracite coal nsinlngln our coun
try. The population of the county of
Schuylkill—before referred to—ansl the
number of ,tons mined -were as follows
at the'beginning of each decade since
1820 :

The population and production for
the Same period, in the entire 47Q square
miles of anthracite coal lauds, were as
follows; the population, being e6tirna
te'd at a low figure, and [ - think, upon
a basis which will bear

and of Vastly greater value than all the
mineral deposits of many nations of the
earth, and by no • means contemptible
nations either. -
. , But vast asthis undeveloped wealth
is, and astonishing as its development
has been, it is but. a trifle when com
pared to the bituminous coal deposits of
qur country, or indeed of Pennsylva
nia, Within a circle of one hundred
of which Pittsburg, in the wes
tern extremity, of my State, is tiie cen
ter', there IS eniptigh bitUrnineue coal in
the earth to pity ofr the national debts
of all the governments of the world
many times over. And it has been es
timated, from geological surveys, that
this coal would pay our national debt
fifty-four times, if its stupendous value
could be realized at once. This, you
will please remember, is in Western
Pennsylvania alone, and only compri
ses ono description of a particular hind
of wealth, which is surrounded, and to
some extent dwarfed, by other wonder
ful resources in that section of our State.
It is impossible to over-estimate the
value of•this wealth, or its relations to
other industries. It is to-day the foun
dation of our wealth ; and a glance at
the distribution of hituniinouscoal over
the country, indicates clearly •to my
wind, that the development of this sin
gle interest, is the basis fora piosperitty,
under wise laws, which would do more
than anythidg else to render us inde
pendent of every external influence,
however it might be exerted.

'Making a grand total of 394,216
square miles of coal within our borders,
or more than thirty-one tithes as much
as there is in Pennsylvania, together
with 800 square miles of anthracite in
Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and,
100 square miles in Oregon. These how-'
ever are not important deposits, and are
of very little value.
These statistics are taken from Dar
row's "Coal and Oil," and may be
deemed as reliable as any work on the
subject, attainuble to the student of
such affairs. Those relating to the an
thracite coal, are supplied by Mr. Ban
nun, who for fifty years has observed
and studied the subject.
In Pennsylvania, notwithstanding
her rugged surface and her numerous
mountain chains—in spite of the fact
that a mile of railroad in o,ur State costs
many times as much as in some others,l
we now have more nines of railroad
than any other State in the Union,
while our capital invested in these far
suipasses that of any other, amounting
ill the aggregate to $300,000,000.
As au indication oq the value of coal
in developing nearly every description
of internal improvement, let no cull
your attention to the fact that, to earry
our Schuylkill anthracite coals to mar
ket, we have invested in
Railroad's ... :50,000,900

A grand total of
. 5208,000,000
The amount invest din like imprbre
meats for sending ou bituminous coal
forward, I have 'no m atis of accurately
deter — mining; but it ip very large. For
the greater area, and the greater dis
tance inland at which our soft or bitu
minous coal is placed, involves a great
er mina.) , for transpottation. The yield
of this description ddring the last year
wa5,14,117,828 tons, and was . chiefly pro
duced from the State of Pennsylvania.
And while tlie capital invested in mi
ning operations is not so large as in the
anthracite, region, this marked differ
ence exists between these great inter
ests, and 'swell worthy of remembrance.
The bituminous coal is situated far in
the interior;it suffers greater wastage 1
in mining and carriage than hard coal,
and it is open to the competition of a
foreign product having all the advan
tage of cheap oeead-carriage, while our
soft coal must,rely on artificial modes
of
,IrtiAs`portation rbuil t at enormous ex
penseit,xer agrent mountain • range, to
bring ie to -tide-water and au eastern
market. ___
It will be Observed that these coal mi
ners do not petition you to protect their
especial product. But, With a clear ap
preciation of the intimate relation be
tween all brunches of productive Indus- ,
try in our country, they: ask Congress
1
to protect American labor and home 1
manufactures, well knowing that every 1
thing which vitalizes production vltttl- i
izes every material interest of the cowl- I
try, and especially its greatest interest,
labor. I hope the statesmanship of 1
these hardy miners way be reflected by
members of Congress, whenever the
threatened onslaught on American in
dustry shall be made lu the interest of
British capital, in these halls, under'
the label of "Free Trade" or a "Tariff'
for Revenue."
I have already adverted td the .poet
that my own State has more mileso
railroad than any other, and that di*?
cost per Mile his Kreater than in other -
States ; and I have justly attributed •
this supremacy to, the *seal mining; "Be-
ford I leaviethis, branch of the'subjeat,
let me add another fact which will'
doubtless be interesting. Beneath the
surface, far clown in-the minese (ln some
instances as much ts 1500 feet below the
level of the river,) we have in the small
anthracite regions more titan 400 miles
of railroad, not inclUded in the aggre
gate of railways in the •State. I - may,
be more successful in placing this fact
before Senators, by assuring them that
these subterranean railroads would , if
formed into one continuous line, retie!:
from
_BoSton to Washington ;Air they
would form a double track road frOna
hero to New York and back again. ,s,
While the Subject on which. I no
address you is of national linportatic ,
I have confined, my illustratlims entiti
ly within my native Saute. The pe
Bona! knowledge and familiarity I pod 4
seas in relation to the subject ns it has
developed about my home;and also the
higher degree'of skill that hisa been at
tained with us than in other' sections,
has governed me in this design. And,
pursuing that course, I call attention to
the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
in Penusylvnuia, as eminently illustra
tive of the benefits flowing from coal,
as shown in (treat rig and - maintaining
home-manufactures and home industry.
When the cdumiercial interests of the
country wertrenSferred to New York,
and Philadel Alla lost her supremacy us
the etuporiu of the nation, her people
at once slime ed their• attention to the
creation of tl o 'wares and fabrics which
she had for erly been content to ex
change". Th result is, that instead 01
sinking uuder the withdrawal of com
merce, she i now the greatest manufac-
Wring city on the continent. She has
a better fed;etter clothed, and better
I.)
paid popuiat on than any other city in
this 'country: . And she has the best
housed population, of any city on the
globe. t
Second to Philadelphia in this last
particular, carid in the - extent of hers
products'second to Philadelphia alone,)
is Pittsburg, in the isvestern part of the
State r, in part, represeat., Here is the
great workshop of Our f iron manufac
tures. And here, too, as in our eastern
city, the same natural wealth—coal—
forms the basis and foundation of her
prosperity. Here is to be seen thrift,
industry, intelligence, noble charities,
admirable schools; magnificent church
es, and freedom as near perfect as can
be found anywhere. ' While less than
half a dozen British corsairs were swee
ping our commerce, from every sea, this
city sent one continual stream of cant
non, shot, and shell—yes, and heroic
men—to save the nation's life 'from the
4 , reatest danger which ever has or ever
• clx, n threaten it. And while -ler cotn
thercial marine sunk under its few and
riot very formidable assailants, this busy
hive of labor and industry sent you the
rneanr of utterly destroying the might
! jest armies, except our own, whichever
waged war. Our blockade was main
tained alone by the coal thinned from
ss_ ...a.......-..-nf D iiithdeltalla to . our na
val vessels at theirstatlons. riliiititittie
of Gettysburg prevented tba destruc
tion of the anthracite coal - mines. It
also prevented the destruction of •our
blockade. And that crowning victory
was won, because in some ;parts of lour
country productive industry enabled us
to place great artnies In the geld, and to
_supply them with the materiel of war.
To-day, the inadequate protection given
to It, prevents universal bankruptcy
and national shame. Adequate protec
tion svill secure to us everything which
this government needs.
As a means ofi national welfare, as
sault, defence and intantellatiCe, I con
trast the two, and, see:min:2:ly, antago
ni,tie Itilereto, of commerce and pro
duction ; and I shall not shrink from -a
1 candid eXaMillatioll of their relative
importance to our country, in either
peace or War.

And I will go further : lam content,
,by this comparison, to test this whole
quc*ion. I insist that the policy of
protection is the true i)olicy to apply
for securing th..! development of every
source of wealth, commerce included.
By this wise policy, the farmer puts in
his pockets as profits the freight he
must now pay to bring his crops to mar
ket—for the workshops, springing up .
all over the country, under this pone.%
of prottction, bring - the market to his
barn door. The trarrpprter, losing this
source of income, gilds it more than
made good by the abundant freightage
pouring from thousands of distau t work
shops in every part of the country, seek
ing the seaboard and a foreign markt-t
And here, too, when our artisans attain
a higher skill, our machinery rt.:it:het
i
perfection, and our ability to produce is
Jtistered, y u Will find the reliable foun
dation for' commerce which, like that
of Great B itain, since she developed
her coal, w 11 be aggiesive and endu
ring. The working man will find his
. subsistence cheapened, by transferring
his dwelling to the teeming farm lands
from which he must be fed, be he where
he may. ,The churchls, schools and be
nevolent ir.stitutions flourish, when the
Masses who earn their bread by labor
are fully employed, cheaply fed, and
well paid. The revenues of the coun
try are certain and generous, then; and
indeed, btfsiness, in all its ramifications,
prospers when labor is prosperous. The
capital of every nation is its labor.—
When this is well and profitably hives
ted, nil goes ,well ;—when labor lan
guishes, all perish together in a com
mon ruin. .
