Strong Argument Against the Measur.
Bpeclal HaRALD oorres onaence.
Washington, Jan. 21. An open letterfon
free coal has Just been received here and Is
given wide circulation. Whllo it is written
in tho interest of the coal fields of Virginia,
It embraces many points which aro appli
cable to tho arguments of tho Pennsylvania
coal miners.
Although originally a free ttader, says the
writer, my aisociatlon with tho Pennsyl
vania caplta'ists, who have dug out of the
hills of Virginia and Went Virginia the coal
which had remained burled there for cen
turies, and of which our Jefferson wroto in
his notes moi than a hundred years ago,
and bringing it down to Virginia's great
seaport, distributed it along tho Atlantic
coast the larger portion to that section from
which wo had so long drawn many of our
domestic supplies mado mo a protectionist.
My contact with ihcsc gentlemen taught
nie that protection by the Federal government
of iho coal Industry was necessary to inspiro
that confidence In capitalists necessary to ob
tain the construction of tho roadsto the mines
and tho means to inaiket the coal, and wish
ing to 6ec Virginia havo those diversified in
dustries which she bad to longnecded to kcop
her children at home, I havo done all in my
power to make her people feel that wo still
needed tho protection for coal which tho
fathers of the Constitute in put in the first
tariir bill, signed by Washington himself
whilo l'rfsidcnt, to protect the coal pits of
Virginia from foreign competition.
I remember reading in an old publication
of 1833 a speech of Daniel Webster's, de
livered in Pittsburg in tho summer of that
year. He said, among other thlogs, that
"Soon after tho peace of 'S3 there came a
period of distress over tho whole Atlantic
coast, far exceeding anything that has been
felt during tho war. Importation in British
ships was frco; American ships there were
none. The cheaper labor of hngland supplied
the inhabitants of tho Atlantic coast with
everything, from tbo crown of the head to
tbo solo of the foot. The merchants of
Boston appointed a committee, at the head of
which was the name, over venerable to the
mind of all true Americans, Johu bancock,
by whom strong resolutions were reportod,
declaring that the inhabitants would not u.e
auy articles imported in British ships. Tho
mechanics of Boston met and recommended
tho inhabitants not to use Itritish articles at
all. 'For,' said they, 'with regard to you,
Mr. Hancock, what odds does it make
whether our shoes, boots, hats, handkerchiefs,
or shirts como in Itritish ships or American
ships? They tako away our bread, come in
what ships they may.' "
Mr. Galloway C. Morris, of Philadelphia,
says tbat tho mills of Fall River produced in
1SU1 002,330,000 yaids of finished material on
a consumption of 177,300 tons of coul.
Allowing the full duty of 75 cents per ton to
bo tho increase of the cost of this coal to the
mills by reason of tho duty, then, the add!
tienal cost of producing this amount of
goods by reason of the tariff is twenty-two
one-tbousandts of a cent per yard This is
certainly a very small cost to those nillls in
Fall Elver as compared with tbo benefit
derived by them from tbo prosperity of the
miners and laborers in tho coal regions and
to the railroad bands and the sailors engaged
in the transportation of it to their mlllr.
Thero is no way of ascertaining precisely
what the number of yards of material such
as these Fall River mUls produce is con
sumed by tho various classes of workers in
the production and transportation of Ameri
can coal to tho mills of the Eastern states,
but unquestionably it Is large, as the work is
rough and the consequent wear and tear is
great. Just in proportion to the reduction of
their wages by reason of the abolition of the
duty so will their ability to purchase the
American goods of the lasteru mills or the
produce of the Western farm be curtailed.
Free coal, then, promisee to give the thou
sands employed uirectly and indirectly in the
ooal trade, cotton gooels at twenty two one
thousandths of a cent per yard cheaper. It
takos about three yards to make a man a
shirt and another two and one half yards for
his drawers. Think of the liberality of tho
Democracy In giving the-ee people a shirt and
a pair pf drawers atone hundred and twenty
ono one-thousandths of a rent cheaper than
they are getting them now ; but at tho same
time taking away the only means they have
of buying a shirt and a pair of drawers. This
is a sort of "Sans Culottes" Democracy. It
might do for the tropics, but not for the United
States.
Free coal means frceshire, as far as foreign
coal is concerned, and the British tramp,
which has driven the American ling from
foreign seas, would doubtless hold iU own In
tho transportation of foreign e oat especially
Canadian coal, as American vessels cannot
carry this roal without paying to the Domin
ion government license fee fur tbepriviiege.
And It Is cafe to a wort that New England
would lose the first year as much in freight
paid her ship owners and sailors as her manu
facturers and other consumers of coal would
gain from free coal.
A woodman went Into a forest, and, draw
ing his knife, commenced to cut tho saplliif s
down. The saplings cried to tho oaks to
protect tbem, but the stately oaks replied :
'Wo are in no danger, that Is no concern of
ours ;' but when the wooelmau had selected a
suitable sapling he ramie It the handle of an
axe, and with that axe ho commenced (o fell
tho oaks, and then they found out, when It
was too late, tbat the snp'ingg' baltlo was
their own, and that in not defending them
they fell before the slayer.
rOUll'lUAI. POINTS.
After tho bawl is over.
Tho stormy weather following upon the
heels of the primaries has prevented people
from observing the blood on the moon, but it
is thero, Mr. Democrat.
Tho result in the Second ward Democratic
primary was most peculiar. D. J. Doyle
worked hard for Burns' coufercesand cheered
lustily when they wero declared electee!, yet
Doyle was knockeel out on tho Councllmauie
fight.
Whatever good grounds may havo existed
for tboro-nomination of Chief Burgess Bums,
it cannot bo gainsaid lint the Democratic
party did not havo an able candidate in Mr.
Betteridgo. lie woe ono of thoraost indefati
gable, workers iu behalf of tho public water
works and it was a poor roward for such scr
vlco to not give him oven a conferreo.
The placing of tho Polish candidates on
their ticket must bo a bitter pill to tho local
Democrats who worked so assiduously last
fall to convince Republicans of what an
outrago it was for the Republican county
convention to put a Polaudcr on iU ticket.
"What's his name Ko Ko, or Cuckoo, or
what ie it?" exclaimed Anthony Flynn at
the Democratic borough convention tlw other
night, when it was announced that ho had
been defeated for the nomination for High
Constable by Peter Cupko.
There aro just about two dozen Democrat),
in town who would llko to lo independent
candidates in tbo approaching ulection, but ns
Finney and Scbeiily aro the only two men
of tho present generation who have made
successes in independent candidacies the
angry ones hesitate.
Tiioro is many a Democratic alxnle in
which tho rasping sound of tho whirlirg
grind stono can be distinctly heard and when
election day arrives many boots will carry
knives with b'ades as sharp as any over
wielded by a Tammany hall chief.

a largo spruce tree, from which weie
suspended over the stage a pretty assortment
of flags and bunting, which made an attrac
