THE COAL MINER.
Tlio gos paid to coal miners and
lal)rer in coal mines in the T'nitcil States
slightly exceed $Iuo,(Xi),0U0 per year. Theie
nro lit round numbers 3(10,(100 of tliein, and
tlioy net out, on tlie average,, about DOO tons
f coal each. The annual iiroduct uf their
labor is nearly or ijuite 130,000,000.
What Is the matter with tho coal miner V
Ho knows that ho eufl'ers, hut why does
lie .suffer? A truo tale will perhaps heir
him to understand one of tho causes of his
present poverty and distress, and relieve his
nilild of tho misstatements uf Wilholin mid
otliorsilvoritos.
llcforo tho passuRe of tlio Wilson-Uorm.m
..., uaiiui iu iiLiui. nulla, mu
sealioard torminal of tlio Chesapeake & Ohio
Hallway, might nt any time havo seen from
four to a dozen coasting vessels lying idle at
tho docks awaiting tho arrival of coal train-,
from Wast Virginia, loaded with co.il des
tined lo ho shipped to New York and New
JJngUuil. Xo sooner had tho Wilsou-tioruian
tariff taken effect than all of these es-els
dlsappoaicd as completely as though they hud
been ensulfcd in iniil-occan.
What was the rcnon for this transforma
tion sciiiio y Simply this : The tariff on coal,
under the McKinley act, was 7." cents a ton,
but tho Wilson-Uorman act reduced the duty
from ," cents to 10 cents, thus opening our
northeastern Atlantic purts to Nova Scotia
coal at prices with which our own mines
'oulil nut compete.
Then what happened ? Tho Chesapeake
t Ohio road reduced its freight lute on coal
to Chicago, and tho coal which would have
displaced Nova Scotia coal, having no other
outlet, was loaded on cars and tent West to
como Into tnmpetition witli Western coal on
tho CI Icago market. Tlio piice of coal nt
between tho railroads, and a leduction iu
wages for mining in tlio Kast, with tho
ultimate elici t of making wages lower than
they have been for many years past. And
all liiissorrow and trouble is directly eharge--aUc
to tho Wihon-O'iiniian tariff, and to no
other viaiblo cause.
JfuiY it is clear that tho prosperity of the
miner primarily depends upon that of tho
inauufactuicr, since machinery is moved by
.steam, and for tlio ptnductii n of steam coal
luust'ho consumed. Whatever increases the
i-'.iumticr of Ameiiean mills and gives employ
ment to mill liHiuls, makes work for the
miner: but whatever reduces the number of
--xsiils'iu operation, shortens tho number of
eK&irs, or diminishes tin: number of opera
tucw, is as much against tho interests of the
miHcr .as it is against the iuteiests of tlio
raecluuic.
Tho wrecked cxperlonco of workingmen
during tho last four years has shown that tho
prosperity of tho manufacturing industries
-of this country is very largely affected by
tariff legislation. A tariff for protection, like
the McKinley tariff, makes good times ; but
a tariff for rovenuo only, like tho Wilson
Ciurnuu tariff, makes very had times. Times
.lutveAioi improved during tho last two years,
but liuvu bion gmwing rather worxo than
tlioywuiu; and tlio coal miner has been one
iif theschief sufferers from tho stato of affairs
linitmht about by a foolish taiilf. They arc
tho llrst to feel the ovll offocts of poor limes
a id tho lust to reap the benefits of good
lillHU.
Yet it is certain that tho miner's lot will
atje no bettor than it is now until wo havo a
revision of tho tariff of such sort as to start
up tho idlo mills uud factories of tlio United
jslMtu and inako an Increased dimatid for
m1.
TImj minor wunts work, but how is ho to
igetit when the mills are shut down, and
wlMra, iu cuiixcijucuce of diminished piuduc-
turn, the ntilrouds have less freight to carry
tuna usual, aud jut hum and buy loss una)
tliau they otherwise would. Manufactures
.aiid,tnuisjKi'Uttiiii arc the two kinds of busi
ness must closely huuml up with coal mining,
and all three tlnive ur languish together.
Tho way in which a tariff for tevenuo
-4U)y hints manufactures and transportation
it tyr oucourugiug tho importation of foreign
,;ud.- rather than encouraging our own
u4i! to inako our own goods nt home. If
MeKinley and llohart aro elected noit
yovtunlier, tho Uepuhllcaus will maku such
sella In tho tariff its will protect all
.AimtrioaiijindustriuM, including coal mining
t jirojior revision of the tariffhy a tenulli
inn C'ongn-s will open tip tlio mills which
nre now closed, thus giving employment to
multitudes of idle men and making tnoro
work for the miners.
It Is thus shown that tho miner has two
gooil reasons for refusing to vote for llryan
and Sowall, or for llryan anil Watson. The
first is that Mr. llryan is not iu favor of a
revision of the tariff, which alone will start
up tlio mills and factoriesand makea demand
for coal; and tho second is that Mr. llryan is
in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at 111 to 1, which would havo tho effect
to raise tlio prlco of everything that tho
miner has to purchase, without raising his
wages iu proportion.
Mr. llryan said iu Congress , Ian, 13, ISM:
"The duty on coal is indefensible.
The duty on coal Is nothing but a subsidy,
which tho people along the eu coast aio com
pelled to pay to the transposition companies.
Take the tariff oil' from coal, so that
llio New Jhiglaud manufacturers can buy it
for loss, and they can manufacture moro
cheaply ; and then, by cutting down tho
taiilfon products of their factories, wo can
compel tliein to sell at a lower prlco to tho
people of tlio South and West." Ho desired
to put coal upon llio free list, and ho voted
for tho Wllson-tiorniau hill, though it did
not satisfy him.
In the miners' strike In the Massllion
district, where every effort at settlement had
failed, and hopo of teaching one had about
departed, Governor McKinley, by the aid of
tho State Hoard, brought tho parties together
in a successful arbitration, when each had
looked upon such n solution as out of tho
question, though tho miners desired it.
Here about twenty-live mines and up
ward of 2,000 mine workers had been Idle
for eight mouths. Tlio loss of earnings
wages and business consequent upon this
strike has been estimated at $1,000,000. Yet
there was no violence no breach of tho peace,
no malicious destruction of property, no cost
to the state.
American coal miners, for whom will you
veto at tho coming election? For llryan,
who favors your foieign rivals, and would
reduce your wages to conform to a foreign
standard? Or for JIcKinley, your friend and
the friend of overy workingman, who stands
for protection to overy American industry
and the highest wages that can possibly bo
paid to eveiy man?

LOCAL TEACHERS' INSTITUTE,
Interesting Discussion on Vwnrdlng Pupils
Iredlt nil :xullilimtlons.
The examinations in the public schools
opened this morning and tho teachers met iu
, the High school last evening to receive In
structions from Superintendent IJogart bear
ing upon them, as well as to discuss tho sys
tem of grading examination papers.
Mr. Lewis opened tho discussion and spoko
for twenty miniitos on tho grading of ex
amination papers in mathematics. Ho Marled
out by piosentlng a double proposition :
What is an examination and what is the ob
ject of tl e examination 7 In all branches
there should be two things iu view does tho
pupil work as a student and does the teacher
work as a teacher? Has tlio pupil, as a
student, done his part of tlio work and lias
tho teacher done his, part of tho work?
This must be brought out and aro the two
main objects of tho examination. Tho
teachers arc to present the problems and let
the pupils wrestle with them themselves,
without any questions or suggestions from
the teacher. Then it Is the teachot'.s turn to
mark tho papers and ho should keep In mind
that in so doing there must bo fairness and
justness, in justness to tho pupil, himself
and tho other pupils iu tho class. Ho must
avoid being moro just with a bright pupil
than with a slow one. Tho pupili-, and flot
tlio papers, should bo marked and thero
.should be no discrimination! An ideal
method Is to hate tho pupils writo their
names on tho bark of tho sheet of paper and
havo th examination on tho front side and
not look at tho back of the paper untit after
the paper lias been passed upon. Tho teacher
should be nn Impartial judge. Iu mathe
matics tho teacher must tako into considera
tion tho ago of tho pupil and tlio grado in
which it is working ; and iu giving examin
ation should liavo in view two things, me
chanical skill and tho pupil's powers of reason
ing. Mr. Lewis said ho would not give a,
pupil who works out the correct answer by
the wrong method as much cicdit as tho one
who gives tlio light answer by the light
method. Tho object is not so much to get the
right answer us to tost the child's reasoning
powers. His method is to go over the papors
and first mark the correct answer; then look
at the wrong ones and mark them ; and then
go over tlio papers tho third time and review
liis own judgment iu urder that justico may
bo dono.
Mr. Ilrittwns the second and more brief.
He said the snbjeit was thoroughly discussed
last year uud-the teachers were made familiar
with tho various phases of it. They adopted
the piosent system by a unanimous voto aud
ho still favored it. lly this method problems ,
aro rated ntcording to the following points :
Tho pupil's knowledge of tho'principle in-'
volved iu tho problem ; liis powers of teasou-1
ing ; accuracy of work ; neatness and furin j
of execution. Hu slid ho could not ugice
with Mr. Lewis that the teacher should mark ,
the problem solely with the object for which
lie gave the problem. The objtit is to lest j
how much tlio pupil knows, ns well as how I
well tho teacher has taught. You can't '
examine any paper by any set rule, but must ,
take the teacher's judgment. Tho process of i
reasons aud modes of expiessions, etc., pie-1
vent the laying down of a set rule. The ,
judgment of the teacher comes into play and '
she must take the condition of tlio pioblcms I
as sho find them and give credit Hccoulingly. j
-nr. isriii strongly urgueii m suvor ut giv
ing pupils additional marks for neatness uf
work and created quite a discussion, in which
Prof. Cooper, .Miss ('line, and Metsrs. Hooks,
Williams and Mcllulo took part, sonic main
taining that to deduct pciicutag for work
that is not neat was nil that should bo
lequircil. After .Messrs. Ilritt and Jlcllale
explained their idea in this connection and
showed that to add marks for neatness was
additional encuurageiiient to pupils the
lnstitutu took a vote and decided in favor of
It so far us tho primary grades aie concerned,
hut Superintendent llogait said be would not
sanction tlio practice in the higher grades.
Prof. Cooper said it bad been dropped in tho
High sclioul. ,
Misses Hartnett and Shoener lead interest
ing papers on language and Superintendent
llogait closid the sesjiou with his instruc
tions to teachers on tho examinations and
also told them not to suspend .upils for
truancy, for in that case tlio teacher makes
tlio child do what she is punishing for. Ho
suggested that ill cases of truancy the name
of tlio pupil bo sent to the truant officer.
Ho also called attention to pupils loafing out
side school buildings.
Misses UiH'orty and Cllne and Messrs. Ilritt
and Hooks weio appointed to arrange tho
program for the institute that is to follow tho
next.

lteply to "A Truster."
Kunrm Hiiuald: In tho letter from "A
Trustee" published in last evening's issue of
your valttnblo piper it is asserted that I made
misstatements in my articlo of Tiwsday. It
us sco whethor I really did. That "Trustee"
seems to try to make tho impression that
there was a misstatement iu my assertion
about preventing Ilishop ISowmau from enter
ing that Allantown chinch in 1801. I said
they (tho Duhbs people) prevented him from
entering. That "Trustee" does not say that
the did not, but says himself "tho trustees
of the church" (meaning trustees of Allen
town "church) "did refiiso to allow
Inm to enter," etc. Ihoso trustees wcro
Duhbs people and now, pray, where is
n misstatement in my assertion about pre
venting tlio Iilsbop from entering? Concjrn
Ing tho Bishop's so-called trial and siispinslm
would say that soino claimed it was legal,
hut many more claimed and believed it to
have been illegal. If it was illegal, which it
was, then ho had a right to officiate, ami
even if ho would have been legally sus
pended, even then I can not seo what right
they would havo had to prevent him from
entering tho church. Then this is also said
in that "Trustee's" letter: "Another mis
statement was the claim of tho church us
their church.'' Now if my neighbor holds
unlawful possession of my goods, thoso goods
are mine, us much mino by right before tho
Judge says so as- aftur ho suys so. Tho
chinch at South Wost and Cherry striets
always belonged to the Kvaugcliral
association never to tho United Lvangelical
church. A few Judges- and a good many
people claimed, it is tine, that those people
who followed Duhbs and were in the majority
at local places, could keep tho churches hut
many more people uud more prominent
Judges, among them half a dozen, or more,
Supreme Court Judges, said the property be
longs to tiiosu clinging to IlitJiops Lshcr mid
liowiuan. Ono Supreme ''ouit Judge, at
least, if not more, said that tho Dilbsites
rebelled against1 the old church. I admiro
the wiliinguiss and pluok of those people
who workid so haul for our chinch heroin
Shenandoah, but, pray, why did they leave
the church? Kvcn as late as this time, if
they want to eomo back and do what is right,
tho will be gladly reiehed and will ho
able to enjoy worshipping in tho church
which they helped to bring into existence.
About my statement nb-to the $1,500 debt, I
would say that I was not trying to insinuate
that tho Dubbs pooplu made debts without
Intending to pay for them. What 1 did say I
said so that tho public might sco both sides of
tlie matter, what was expended and what was
actually paid. Hut that Pennsylvania, this
grand Commonwealth uf ours, has a law, as
that "Trustee" says, that deprives people of
their church proporty is a great surprise to
mo. Where Is that haw? 1 would, bo very
much obliged to any ouo showing mo that on
our statute books. It seems to mo Pennsyl
vania has no unjust law like that, but, of
course, tho law will not allow peoplo to. leave
a church and start up a new church
and tako the proporty of tho old church
along. That ono member who stayed with
the old church, did -sign her naioo
to that paper "Trnsteo" refers to, but not
until she had bocn worried and coaxed again
and ugain,ind tlieu she signed it to prevent
further worryiug and under tlio idea, that she
could stay with, the old church, anyhow, if
sho felt to do so. Why did that "Trustee"
not give his name? If an army is attacked
by a foe and the army does not know who
and where tho foo is, then the army is at a
great dl-advantago when trying to defend
itself. I know not who says theso things
about mo. Lain at a great disadvantage. If
"Trustee" replies to this letter and again
doos not give his name, I do not think that I
shall icply again, but shall conclude that tho
publlo can judge what to think of it when
missiles nro sent from ambush. I have no
pleasuie iu, nor timo hardly, to write these
articles, but do it for the sake of justico.
