Is estimated , that we can on Increasing the pro

five and thirty million toneannually, when the gain
will cease by reason of the exhaustion of the coal

'The whole amount of anthracite coal shipped to '
market during the fifty years in which it leis born
an' article of trade foots up 184,710,412 tons. Of this
amount 144,444,5t8 tons have been mlnedand shipped
within the , last ten year& By the time a like
amount halt been consumed anthracite will have
taken its plaice among the luxuries of life, to be usg
only for domestic purposes, and iron works, fur -

It Is estimated that the gunnel production of bites I
urinous coal in the Union at least equals that of an
thmcite. My own belief is that it very mucii'ex ,
ceeds it, aid that over 211,103,600 tons of bltutoinous
coal are now consumed each year. Under the pny
[ tection enjoyed by:our Industries at present, the de
velopment of the country would require the annual
1 production of nearly Jokkookous tons of bituminous
In ten or fifteen years, and in twenty , years the an
nual Ineresse will atrial 8,000,000 tuna These esti
mates are merely the continuation of. the history of
1 thepaat, and demonstrate that practically as well as
theoretically the laborer is going to be "worthy of
his bine." Mud' we do what we can toward produe
clueing these melte, or shall wo do what we can to
binder and retard them?
The espitakinVested in the lines of canni and rail
roads carrying 5.000,000 tons anthracite out of ficheyl
klll,tpunty alone amounts to V 2,000,000, arid the
amount' of capital invested in all the lines of rail
road's and esnalstapping the anthracite region, and
devoted mainly to Ininsporting , the LIANA° tons
now shipped annually, amounts to 1.(14030,,001k' Al'
the trade increases more capital finds its way iota
these thoroughfares.' If-N00,003,000 is required to
,:build lines of canals and railroads equal to the mot.-
leg of 20.1100,000 tons annually, is it not a subject for
deep thought that In twenty years to come from 100,-
000000 to 14,000,000 tons of coal a, year shall be push-
Mg its way to market over them, and other lines! •
Mrs, Chairman;while I ‘ am clear that it is for
the. immediate interest of .the operator in an.
ttiracite coal, to repeal the duty on bituininouS
ouid, in order that the act may discourage the
futiher development of the vast beds of bitumi
nous coal in the United States, I am sure that
oftho•two hundred thousand people in my dis
trict not one will ask me to vote ',for the repeal.
MY constituents understand the question of pro-
ter to American labor in its broadest sense,
and they despise the act that protects one inter
est at the expense of another. They know full
Well, what the gentleman front Now York had
better learn; 'that protection means ability to
pay good 'wave throughout our land. They
know that protection, carried to its logical re
sults, means eight hours a ' day instead of ten to
labor, and an invitation for the overworked and
underpaid German, Englishman, Welshman
arid Irishman to hurry over in such number!
that the' foreign manufacturer and capitalist
must offer as abort hones and as long pay as they
can get in free . America in order to keep enough
labor at home to run his Machinery. America
fears ne competition except that of the ill-fed,
ill-paid, overworked labor of Europe. ,
And, think ,lirsi, wages in Europe, e special l y
England and 15 glee, are beginning to feel the
upward Pendency of human rights. The estab
lishment of reduction works' of the finer mettle,
of nickel works, steal works, Ruda-ash worits,
and many industrial pursuitis of which we knew
but little ton years ego, has' been drawing a su
perior class of skilled label.; to our shores. 101
loss Is being foltAbroad; and if we are true to
ourselves it wille felt more and more every
year until the American workman, emancipated
himself, ;will hero the proud satisfaction of
knowing that he has lifted up his. struggling
brotheracross the water.,..
i; _ Tio-IRON.
And now air: Chairman, shall wo strike the
first blow at protection to American labor by
taking off a Bangle dollar of the duty on .plg
metal ? In 1869 the average price or gold was
over thirty per cent. premium. In 1870 it will
not,. as we are ridmenished,: , rule higher than
ten. Twenty per cent. on nine dollars a ton is
the reduction our furnace men must face, with
out reference to the rate of duty:: Nearly one
hundred and fifty thousand tons of pig-iron
was imported in 1869, with the duty at nine
dollars. and gold at over thirty. With the duty
at seven and the . premium on geld averaging
' less than twenty per cent. in 1870 the imports
lion of pig must Inert:attain double.
During the fiscal year 'ending June 30, 1869,
the importations of pig-Iron reached 130,076 tons,
and that of scrap-iron 131,661 tons, together t.i11 , ;-
637 ; equal to ''3S6 tons a month. Gold sold
1 during, this time at nearly an average of forty
per cent.; but for the next five months, ending
Icovetribee3o, 18180, the premium . on gold de
clined •to an average of lees than thirty, and
during that time we impeded 80,703 tons pig
and 66,420 tons scrap, tivether 147,132 tons;
I equal to 23,428 tons a month, or with gold at the .
same rate, 852,112 tons, 4 year. -Gold' is now at,
, , about ten, and we must count on its going low
-1 er. " We may therefore etpeet to import during
fade year (1870) between:fonr and five hundred
I thousand tone without putting the duty down.
Roductg the duty by two dollars s ton and run

Mr. Chairman, one of the leaders of the prti-,

"While the tarn:tem of the great West were sell
ing their wheat at from fifty -five to sixty , iiveets.

things came down in price as well." -
Pondering this propoeitien, I cannot for my
life ace how forcing down price of pig-iron
is going to foment) the.price of wheat. But 'it
seems to nu) that I can gee how it will force the
price of Wheat still loner •to take the deity' off
pig to the extent of. destroying 'the :proteetive

Sir; the letter of my friend- stales, the case.
We,are alt committed to it- 1 protective policy if
we- know what we eroabout. England will
buy none of our wheat if she can get it cheaper
'from Germany or Russia. 1 She can get it cheap
er from the' wheat-growing distriets'of the con
tinent than we emu send It to her, unless we
can reduce the wages of the laborer in our fields
to the low rates , abroad. If we could do this,.
would it be desirable to de it? ' Ily paying - our

necessaries of life, and *hat is ho-? A mere

No, air; the American farmer, seeking a
steady, reliable market fin' his 'produce, may
expect to melee It only at home.' Let him,
resolve to help build it up by building up man
