According to the recent estimate? made from the maps and other data by the county surveyor the 73,000 acres of coal land within the county (not in cluding tin- Iluzloton region) still con tains not less than 1,419,012,500 tons of marketable coal. This vast deposit of hidden mineral wealth: if figured at only 50 cents per ton. is worth $403.50 pel acre for each foot, thickness of underly ing coal. This would tnake the actual value of the 75,000 acres, with the veins an average thickness of 2(5 9-10 feet and allowing 950 tons per foot per acre, not less than $709,151,250. As has been re peatedly shown the present assessed value of this coal land is but $8 per foot per acre according to the estimated depth or thickness of untnined coal making the total assessed valuation of the 75,000 acres only si 100 which is less than two per cent of the real value. The tax rate in the county last year was seven mills on the dollar of prop erty valuation: therefore, if we suppose that that rate was assessed against the 75,000 acres of coal land, then the total taxes received by the county from thai source was not more than §85,804.80. Now let the reader stop and consider tlx* real signilicauce of these truly startling figures. Let us suppose that a seven mill tax had been levied on this coal land and that the 57,000 acres had been as sessed on the same ratio of valuation last year as lived by the commissioners on real estate, viz, one-fifth actual or market value. On this basis the seven mill levy on >111,830,250 would yield the county a tax income of $000,940.95 for the year, whereas the county, it is safe to assume, has never received in any one year more than seventy or eighty thousand dollars from all the area of coal lands within its boundaries. Herein may be seen a strong and sufficient incentive to stir up taxpayers to an intelligent understanding of tin need of united action and organization in order to accomplish the reforms ad vocated. if only u few thousand of the already overburdened farmers and wage workers throughout the county, led by men of calm judgment and independ ent thought, agree to unite in an organ ization for mutual benefit and general public good, the present county commis sioners will cheerfully comply with the popular demand for -a fair and honest method of levying taxes equally against all property according to its proper value when the time comes to fix the triennial assessment next fall. This Is the tieneral Tendency. From the Phoenixville Messenger. Olio of the forty-one trust companies of Philadelphia, whose holdings of money amount to more: than exceeding on half tin- valuation of all the property, real and personal, of that city, on Monday published the following as a dividend notiee: The board of directors has this day declared a semi-annual dividend of six percent, free of all taxes, on tlx; capi tal stock paid in. payable on and after May 10, to stockholders its registered at tie close of business April .'to, and have added §25,000 to the surplus, making it $400,000. (u the same day a Schuylkill town ship farm of Jul acres, and an East Fal low!.-ld farm of Jl3 acres were sold at West ( he.-tcr by the sheriff of this coun ty. The contrast shows, we think, the general tendency of matters in this country. The aggregation of money is vastly profitable, resulting in fat divid ends and mammoth surpluses. On tin other hand, farmer . one by one, are passing under the rod of foreclosure, many of them losing forever the home stead of their progenitors.

SURDITIES OF THE DINGLEY BILL Says It Is "the Most Ultra Protective Tariff Ever Proposed"—Will Encourage Trusts and Discourage American Labor— Mikes | Some Serious Deflections Upon the tie- Klnley Dill as a Revenue Producer. | Ex-Postmaster General William L. i Wilson is credited with the authorship ;of the tariff bill now in force. His hands were tit d so that ho could not ! make the bill nearly as good as he de sired to make it, and the bill as finally passed was rot nearly as good as when it first passed the house. It was, In . - ; ever, a great improvement upon the Mc- Kinley bill and i a model as compared with the Dingley monstrosity. V.'e quote the following from 2,1 r. Wilson's criticism of the MeKiulcy and Dinghy bills in a recent numler ci' the N'. v; York Herald: These bills are so nearly id. utical n general structure and particular items, excepting as to the sugar schedule, that it may bo well to consider the effi ct t. the first billon the revenue of the coun try. Both bills are vast and vol urn: ion.; I schemes of class taxation, the produ. tion of public revenue beting an incident and entirely subordinate to the purpose of taxing all the American people for the benefit of a small part of thd people. The protectionist has but one remedy, which he applies whether the roveuuo be redundant or deficient. If times are ; prosperous and more money than is needed pours into the treasury, bo in creases taxes by a scheme that turns the larger part of their avails into pri vate pockets, and this reduces public revenue. If times are depressed and less money than is needed pours into tho treasury, ho seizes tho pretext < f in creasing public revenues by adding enormously to the amount of private ex action. The act of 1890, whatever its other effects, did reduce revenue. From a large surplus it swept us headlong to a deficiency, although it weighted the people with heavier taxes and although another law, passed in July, 1890, turned into the treasury as a part of tho general assets to bo used for paying ex penditures a trust fund of more than 154,000,000 which belonged to the na tional banks and had always been held for tho redemption of their notes. Even before tho Harrison administra tion ended we should have been eon fronted with a large deficiency but for the use of this trust fund and tho fur ther fact that Secretary Foster, by a change of bookkc eping, added to tho treasury balance $20,000,000 of token and subsidiary coin not before treated as a treasury asset. With these extraor dinary additions, even, we wound up tho fiscal year June 80, 1893, with a sur plus of only $2,341,074 as against a surplus for the fee: 1 year June 30, 1890, of over $85,000,000 bei'oro tho abepo trust fund and subsidiary coin were touched. And during tho fiscal year ended Juno 30, 1894, through a 1 ! of which the McKinley bill was in force, expenditures exceeded tho revenues to the amount of $09,803,200, notwith standing tho fact that the expenditures of the government were $15,952,074 less than in tho preceding year. This statement shows how absurd anu groundless is tho claim constantly made by the protectionists that recent deficits in rovenuo are duo to iho substitution of the existing tariff for the McKinley bill. Nothing is more certain than that if the bill had been in force during tho last three years the annual deficit would have been immensely swollen, while tho people in a season of depression and hard times would have staggi red under much heavier burdens of taxation. Even in this disastrous period, customs duties under tho existing law have increased from less than $132,000,000 in 1894, the last year of tho McKinley bill, to even $158,000,000 in 1895 and to over $100,000,000 in 1890. In tho sugar schedule alone the bal ance in favor of the existing law is about $55,000,000. The customs rcve nuo reached nearly $40,000,000, scarce ly any of which would have been re ceivable under the McKinley bill. That the Dingley bill, present condi tions considered, is the most ultra pro tective tariff ever proposed to bo enact ed in this country plainly appears from Chairman Dingley's statement that if levied on the importations of the last fiscal year it would have increased tho revenue $112,000,000 —that is to say, it would have gathered from an importa tion of $775,724,204 of imported mer chandise tho enormous sum of $272,- 000,000, which is nearly $50,000,000 more than uuy customs revenue ever collected in one year in this country in the past. And to say that its rates will probably check dutiable imports to the extent of reducing the estimate to $70,- 000,000 is only another way of saying that to that extent such rates are pro hibitory. American consumers are shut in the homo market to be preyed upon by com binations and trusts without possibili ty of relief from outside competition. Such combinations, by joining to keep up prices and to curtail production, Wage more merciless war against tho employment, the opportunities and tho compensation of American labor than any possible competition from abroad could do. The falling off of importations under the present law dispels the illusion that the American laborer is anywhere deprived of employment by the impor tation of foreign products. The gratify ing increase in our exports of manufac tures is equally strong proof that those laws are helping us to outer and com mand new markets, which means net only larger employment for our arti sans, but more homo consumers for our farmers. In the new tariff bill spunk is on tho free list. We have our opinion of a man who is compelled to use imported "spunk. " —Philadelphia Call. FACTS AND FIGURES.

ABOUT THE RAILROADS. J For 3,200 vacancies of all kinds on 1 the staff of the London & Northwestern railway last year, there were 53,000 ap ! plicants. The 13. & O.

The slate roof is found to be a | preventive of fire from sparks. I At Birmingham, England, the prc- I sentation of a purse of 100 guineas and an address was made to Guard Jrnnes, ! described as the greatest railway traveler in the world. Jennes has been in the employ of the Great Wesiefn I Railw ay company for 40 years and had 1 traveled upward of 4,000,000 miles. I Last year there were issued in the | United Kingdom a little over 911,000,000 j railway tickets, exclusive of season tick ets and workmen's weekly tickets. It is not easy to realize such a number. If they had to be carried from London to Edinburgh in a mass it would re quire 100 railway trucks, each carrying ! ten tons. | The adoption of the tonnage system | for freight trains on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern has resulted in quite | a saving in the cost of transportation, i General Superintendent Ilawn states I that locomotives, under this system, are j pulling from two to seven more loaded : cars per train than ever before, WHIR OF THE WHEEL. \ novelty in cyclometers is made to be set into the fork crown, where the mileage may be easily read from the saddle.

Annonnvem n Storm Two Minuter Do fore It* Approach. A barometer designed automatically i to sound nn alarm when there is a sud den change of atmospheric pressure, such as occurs in advance of a tornado, cyclone or wind storm, is shown in the illustration. Tests have shown that it gives an alarm some two minutes bc j fore the first blasts of a storm occur. ! The main mercury tube is represented ! with a cylindrical bulb at the top, and ! connected with the main tube, near the | lower portion of its shorter member, is a secondary tube, the connection being ■ made by means of a short tube which connects with the main tube by a very small opening. A-s indicated in the dot ted lines, the connecting tube may be formed into a siphon for attaching to any ordinary barometer. The secondary l^jj THE TORNADO ALARM", i tube may be made as large as desired, ! its connection with the larger tube be ing such as to cause the fluid in both i tubes to remain normally of equal or nearly equal height in ordinary changes J of the weather, but in case of sudden i atmospheric changes the small opening | in the connection between the tubes rv ! strids the movement in the secondary | tube as compared with that in the main ; tube. Such variation in the movement ! of the mercury in the two tubes, when ! sufficient to indicate an approaching ; storm, is made to give an alarm by means of floats, in the tubes connected J with wires in an clectiie circuit,.there j being on one wire a fork and on the j other a tongue, by which contacts are j made, to ring an alarm when the points meet. Ordinary storms have no effect ! whatever 011 the apparatus. THE HUMAN BREATH.

S. Hillings and 1). I!, j Jlergey. They first wished to determine i whether them are any microbes in ex- I haled breath. They had a man breathe through sterilized gelatine for 30 min : utes. It was then corked. If his breath had contained microbe organ isms they would have adhered to and bred upon the gelatine. Miscroscopio examination proved that it remained barren. Then came trials showing how much ammonia was contained l in the breath. In the eases of a healthy subject and of a consumptive, a man suflVring from tracheal fistula, the quantity of am monia was small and of about equal quantity. Persons with decaying teeth had much more ammonia than* those i whoso teeth were in good condition. I Under normal conditions one man ! may bito another without serious re i suits, but under some abnormal cir -1 cuinstances there is a morbific element. yet unknown, contained in his saliva ; which renders it venomous. Some of I the saliva mingles with the blootl of a victim and resulting blood poisoning ci uses death. An insane person's bite, for instance, may prove fatal; or that of a person laboring under intense ex eitement. If one person bit another in a fit of uncontrollable rage he would probably kill him. —Chicago Inter Ocean. l'ro&rt'NM In SeiNinoloKy.
