It is quite apparent to those who have interested themselves in the matter, that the attempt to have coal hinds as sessed at something near their real valm will not he successful if the operators and corporations can prevent this much needed reform. The owners of those lands, as the Tkiiu nk has shown in j articles published in the past, pay taxes upon from 1 to "> per cent of the actual value of their ground, and the move ment to have this defect and disgrace remedied at the triennial assessment next year has become quite popular. Already, however, little paragraphs hav< | appeared in certain newspapers which i are under obligations to the coal com panics, having for their purpose a desire' 1 to lead the public to believe that reform on the lines contemplated is unneces sary and intimating that the valuation is fair compared with other properties. This weak defense is commented on in the Wilkesbarre Telephone in a recent issue as follows: "Constant vigorous agitation to secure for the people of this county a more equitable rate <f adjusting the valuation and assessment of coal lands in propor tion to the rate levied agulnst all othoi taxable property prompts the present hoard of county commissioners to give out the statement 'that they propose t< look carefully into the matter next year. This bit of information is given to the Jiecord, which paper goes on say 'thai the present assessed valuation of coal lands on a basis of 81,100 to 81,200 pel acre fixed by former commissioners was thought to be a fair valuation as com pared with other .properties.' And ii further wants the public to believe the the preposterous falsehood that laud is sold at about that price.* "Lacking time and space this week to refute this absurd statement. I will merely ask the Jh-cord to in form its read ers when and where a single acre of coal land was ever sold for 81.200 anywhere in the Wyoming Valley. In any previ ous arguments on this important ques tion I have shown by Indisputable figures that an acre of land containing an average thickness of 20 0-10 feet of uurnined coal worth 50 cents per ton, lias an actual value of S4GSJ.SO per acre for each foot thickness of the coal. "Now, let the liecord proceed to multi ply §102.50 by .20 o-10, the estimated thickness of the veins, and it will be found that the real value of such land per acre is 812.141.23. "Right here 1 want to convince the Jirrurd t hat in\ estimate does not include the surface \ alne of the land for build ing or agricultural purposes, because I know that le-s than three years ago the Record was willing to have the commis sioners of the county pay to Lawrence Myers 81'.'5.000 for a certain plot of coal land in the- neighborhood of Jackson and North Main street, this city, upon which to erect the proposed new court house. As the plot referred to contains much less than an acre, and the price asked was only for the surface (Mr. Myers re serving ownership of the underlying coal), wo can therefore see that coal land at 812,000 an acre is much nearer tbt- actual market value of such land than 81.200 per aero."

Admit That High Duties and Consequent High Prices Will Restrict the Cse ok' Woolens. Homo of the severest criticisms not j only of special duties and clauses, but i of the whole accursed protective sys- = tern, come from the protected manufac- j turers themselves in their struggle with 1 opposing interests. Mr. S. N. D. North, secretary of the Woolen Manufacturers * ! association, is now and always has been | a standi protectionist. As yiuh he be lieves tii at the 70,000,000 consumers of this country arc legitimate subjects for plunder and that the manufacturers are the proper persons to enjoy the pro tection plunder, j The fixo wool experiment which v;c | have been trying for three years, be. if., .> I being an object lesson in the way of I cheap woolens, has taught the woolen j manufacturers that they can make as much or more profit with frco wool and ! moderate protection, which permits peo ; pie of moderate means to wear real ■ woolen goods, than with high dutie* en both wool and woolens, which restricts j the use of woolens to people in good cir cumstances. The manufacturers there fore display more than their usual mod esty and patriotism in the advice v. hich they are giving to congress. Mr. North is in Washington to voice the manufac turers'patriotism. Here is part of liisJ advice as taken from the Washington correspondence of The Dry Goods Econ omist: I nm free to say the bill is far from satisfac tory to tin* woolen manufacturers. The chief fault is to be found with the raw wool duties, which are so high that our manufacturers will find themselves sorely embarrassed. It i true the committee has provided compensatory duties which are probably sufficient to offset the duties on raw wool, but the difficulty \\ ill be, in my opinion, that the very considerable ' increase in price which must be made to cover the additional cost of raw material will have the effect of cutting down consumption to an extent that will be disastrous to the manufac turers. I do not contend that the rates on woolen manufactures in the bill are not suffi cient to protect xis against too severe foreign competition, but the limit of the consumer's purchasing power must control him in buying woolen manufactures, and I fear the rates of the now bill will very materially restrict con i sumption. This is practically saying to Dingley, Aldrich and the other servants of tlio protected manufacturers at Washington: "Go slow with your high duties and don't try to protect too many. If you let everybody into the protection ring, there will bo nobody out si do to prey upon and wc will have to prey upon eacli other. Don't make the mistake of taxing raw materials too high. Wo wouldn't mind it if wo could sell our goods and charge the tax over to tbo consumer. But when the tax is so high that we have to make our prices almost out of sight we have found that we can not sell so many goods, because the peo ple can't afford to wear, clothes—that is, woolen clothes, which are the only ones worth considering because they aro j the only ones which we manufacture. Our solicitude for Hie dear American consumer is such that wo do not wish to compel him to elolho himself in the I IPM' ' J IISCREASEO? JSL&? ; yjjw-W c -- skins of beasts, which arc neither fash ionable nor healthful. Let us not tax him to death. Let us be reasonable and encourage him to live and to wear clothes. By so doing we can keep our mills running and give employment to ! American workiugmen at American wages, which, after all, is the chief ob ject aimed at by us protected manufac turers." —Byron W. Holt. The Protectionist Performance. The following is a part of ex-Con gressman John Do Witt Warner's criti cism of the Dingley bill: "As it stands the most brilliant part of the pending performance consists in eating the words of the same actors in the Fifty-first congress. The MoKiuley bill of that date was virtually entitled 'a bill to reduce revenues.' The Dingley bill is specially commended as a revenue getter. The JVlcKiuley bill pointed with pride to the poor man's free breakfast table. The Dingley bill puts upon sugar —a single item of the breakfast table— one-third of the total amount of the tariff tax proposed. Tlio items which are supposed to help the farmer are good examples of so setting your trap as to 'cotch 'em a cumin and a-gwino.' For instance, we have reciprocity in order to give the farmers a market abroad for what it is assumed they cannot produco for homo consumption unless they arc highly protected, as is done by another section of the bill. " Senator Sherman at. lli* Itent. Every advance toward a free ex change of commodities is an advance in civilization. Every obstruction to a free exchange is born of the same narrow, despotic spirit which planted castles up on the Rhine to plunder peaceful com merce. Every obstruction to commerce is a tax upon consumption. Every faeil ity to a free exchange cheapens commod ities, increases trade and population and promotes civilization.—John Sher ! man in 18153.

If congress can advance the price of hides 2 cents a pound in this country, the people will pay several millions a year more than the ydo now for their boots and shoes, and the money will go , into the pockets of the Beef trust.— I Hartford Times.

You're not getting any !r stunts, and you're not fooling voters. McKiuley had some ex perience that tree—it's a horse chestnut—in 1890. Ho pretended that he was making the foreigner pay the tax, but ho soon found out what the peo ple thought of him and his bill. The bulk of Americans are both honest and intelligent. The intelligent voter knows that you can't make the foreigner pay his taxes, and the honest voter prefers to pay his own taxes. You can never make your bill yopular by such tomfoolery." Clmuip Clark's Wit. Champ Clark of Missouri is not only cne of the wittiest men in the house of representatives, but he is one of the best posted on the tariff question. In ridiculing some of the rates of the Dingley bill that to him seemed subject ; to criticism, he recited how a man of the name of Goodyear went before tin ways and means committee and secured the tariff he wanted by some skillful palaver about the great statesmen that Maine had produced. Then ho said: "Mr. Chairman, that piece of 'soft soap 1 made it harder for every poor man in the United States to build a house. Governor Diuglev swallowed tin bait as quick as a trout would swallow a fly [laughter], and next summer some j pom- devil out west, living in a dugout 100 miles from u railroad station, who voted for MeKinley under the deluded idea that prosperity would come under his administration and who lias not heard of this tariff bill, ciphers it out that he can build him a two room cot tage with lumber and other building materials at the old rate, lie goes to the station to get the lumber and finds that the prico has gone sky high, and he goes 1 back to his homo and says to his yifo: 'My dear, I am sorry that we must stay in the dugout. We cannot build our lit tle house. A great man by the name of Governor Dingley has put tho price of lumber and other things so high that we cannot do it, but, thank God, he has left dragon's blood free.' [Laughter. J Next year, when mv handsome friend from lowa (Air. Dolliver) returns to that lino agricultural district which ho represents, some man who has not been able to buy a coat because of the high prico of woolen cloth will say to his neighbor, 'There comes Dolliver, who put up the price of woolen goods.' But the successful eandidato for the post office in that district says, 'Oh, but Dol liver put divi-clivi on the free list!' And in chorus they sing, 'Dolliver and divi-divi forever.' " [Laughter. Ap plause on the Democratic: side.] Why Increase the Coal Duty? Under the existing tariff bituminous coal pays 40 cents a ton. Tho Dingley bill proposes to make this 75 cents. In 1895-0 the imports of bituminous coal into the United States were 1,243,835 tons. The exports were 2,240,284. The figures for Canada were: Imported from Nova Scotia,' New Brunswick, etc., 123,404 tens; from Quebec, Ontario, etc-., 89,987; from British Columbia, 027,257; exports to these three divisions respectively, 413 tons, 1,071,302 and 3,094. Canada now proposes in case the Dinghy rate: is imposed te> retaliate by a high duty on our coal, which will certainly not stimulate exports. Here is an export business worth twice- as much as the- correspond ing import busi ness, and it is proposed to run the risk of ruining tlu- former for the- sake of screwing $350,000 taxes out of the: lat ter, and this on the plea of reviving American industry. Can any sane man fail to see that, even assuming that imports do not fall off, it is hardly worth while for tho sake: of a paltry $350,000 to tempt Canada into ruining an established business nearly twice as large- as that which is to yielel the: tax? Yet this is tin- way in which "the old thing works." The Protection I inhrclla. /'j ' / 7 / ' vJrf '' ' ''''"" '/fsp//" - VJJ! I,l ' Puncture* tlic Theory. Tin- opposition e f the protected inter ests of Massachusetts to a duty on hides looks like an abandonment of the- favor ite protectionist theory that "the for eigner pays the tax." Itlaino Opposed n Duty on Hides* The following letter from Secretary of State James G. Blaino in J 890 is supposed to have had great weight with the ways and means committee: WASHINGTON, April 10, ISOO. DEAR MR. MOKINI.KY—It is a Rrcat mistake to take hides from tin* free list, wlioro tlu-y liavo boon tor so many years. It- is a slap in i the face to the South Americans, with whom • wo are trying to enlarge our trade. It will i benefit the farmer by adding sto 9 per rent- to I the price of his children's shoes. It will yield , a profit to the butcher only, the last man that ' needs it. The movement is in judicious from j beginning to end, in every form and phase, > Pray stop it before it sees light. Sueli move- ' ! meats as this for protection will protect the Republican party into a speedy retirement. Yours hastily, JAMES G. BI.AINE. Hon. William MoKinley, Chairman Ways and Means. Where is tho Blaino this year who can head off the westerners who want their share of protection and foolishly imagine tlnit they can get it by a duty en hides? It is perfectly consistent with the protection system to tax hides, es- 1 pecially as the bulk of the tax would probably go to a few monopoly butch- ! ers and ranchmen. But observe some of the effects upon our industries: The importations of untaxed hides and skins last year wore valued at $20,- 216,528. The goatskins were valued at $10,803,209. The former were mostly converted into solo leather, beltings and such like heavy material, for which our native hides are not thick enough. ; The goatskins are not produced in this country. From this raw material we not only manufacture boots, shoes and leather goods for our own people cheaper and better than they are made elsewhere in i the world, but we exported finished products of the value of $20,2-12,756. Without freo and cheap raw material this export trade would have been im possible, and our own people, as Mr. Blaino pointed out, would bo compelled to pay more for their footwear. The wages paid to our workers in leather last year amounted to $25,542,166. . Protecting the Few Woolgrowerg. Supposo the Diugley duties on'wool would give the woolgrowers all the protection claimed and that the price of wool would actually go up the full amount oi' the duty, which, of course, is absurd. What would be the effect up on the country at large? Mr. Edward Atkinson, statistician, estimates tho annual wool product at *55,099,000 out of a total of $13,200,- 990,000 produced by all the workers of the country and the persons dependent, on the wool industry at 800,000 out of a total populafh 11 of 73,000,000. The ' wool duty then means that out of every 240 persons 239 are to be "held up" for the be in fit of the other one. This is a sample of what protection dots. Of course more than 300,000 persons may sometimes raise a few sheep, but the interests of these others are more those of tho consumer than of the sheep raiser, and they would lose more because of in creased cost of woolens than they would gain by the increased price of wool. Tho protective tariff system is a farce when considered in connection with the farmer oi* the workingniau. WiN they ever fully npprt eiate it? An (Minus Tux. The tin plate makers wish to boom t their business by increasing the duty m imported tin plate, to the injury of the ( aiming industry and other indus -1 tries t hat flourish by reason of cheap tin plate. Another blow is struck at business by abolishing tho rebate on ex ported tin cans. Now canned goods ex ported in cans made cf imported tin are allowed a drawback :>f the duty paid, and thus an export business lias been built lip in canned fruits, oysters, vege tables, petroleum, etc. Over 4,000,000 (in cans are sent abroad annually, con taining oil which competes with that of Russia. When Russia can buy tin plate at $2.70 a box, while wo have to pay $8.50 for it. it is evident that our com p( lit ion will 1• rendered difficult.
