DOH'.V IN A COAL MINE.
H. L. Nelson has done a good service
to his country, to protection and to
humanity by his artie'e on the anthra
cite coal miners in Pennsylvania,
which appeared in Harpei's Wickly a
week ago. Ho showed to his country
at a stroke the natural and inevitable
differences between American laborers
and those of the least enlightened
European countries. With another
stroke he proved the virtues and bene
fits of ths protective system by dis
closing its absence in respect to the
importation of men; and he did a bril
liant service to humanity by exposing
once more au I presenting in a start
ling light to tba world the hardships
and sufferings of the slaves who dig
coal in Pennsylvania. Mr. Nelson did
not intend to recompilait thesa result«
whenjhe collected the da a for his ex
cellent article. It was his purpose to
show that protection does not protect
and if bs could bare done that he
would have been better pleased, no
doubt, than be is at the benefit which
he has conferred upon ths poor miners.
The debased condition of the Penn
sylvania miners is due diieotly to the
ease and facility with which their
grasping owners could import the
ignorant and helpless Poles and Hun
garians whenever their more intelli
gent employes resented and resisted
the encroachments of their greed and
tyranny. Had tho importation of
man by ship-loads at the hand] of
■coal mine owners and other employers
been prohibited by law in 1861, when
tho Morrill tariff bill
acted, these dreadful scenes in »ho
Pennsylvania coal mines, depicted
by Mr. Nelson, would never have been
realized. An indirect, but fruitful
cause of ths unfortunate position of
these miners is their ignorance. An
American miner would never submit
to such outrages. The Irish-American
minor struck and then quit just as
soon as he became intelligent enough
to make un effective opposition to the
hardships imposed by bis employers.
The present state of things would not
be possible with any other dais of
workmen, excepting the Chinese, and
it will not remain long possible even
with the ignorant Poles and Huns.
There is a third reason, too, why wo
find this extraordinary situation in
the coal field. The men are there by
the thousands, isolated and cut off
from nearly all other channels of
employment. They are compelled to
dig o >al and half starve, or not dig
coal and starve entirely. They cannot
mow or reap, or weave or spin, or
write or paint. If they had the man
ual ability to learn anything else they
could not do so for want of mental
activity. They are first slaves of
ignorance and vice and second of their
masters. Their condition has absolutely
nothing to do with protection or free
trade,excepting that were it not for the
protective tariff they would not be
here at all, but still be starving in
their native lands. Were it not for
tfco American system the Pennsylva
nia coal mines would probably be un
developed fields as yet, and we sup
pose that it is batter to have the
anthracite mines in that state uncov
ered, even under the present condi
tions, than not to have them in use at
all. Of course ths.free trader will dis
was en
puts this.
The conditions in Pen csyivania wil;
regulete themselves after awhile. The
coal pool and the coal barons cannot
last forever. There are other coal
fields and other miners throughout the
country and by and by when these get
better able to supply tha great demand
for heating material, the Pennsylvania
cormorants w ill melt away like snow
In the meantime no more of these
Hungarian s aves can be imported and
those that are here will learn to protect
themselves better the longer that they
are here.
Let it not be forgotten that this
pitiable instance which the free
traders have b»en in such gleeful
haste to hold up before the country os
a proof of their preaching is the gen
eral condition under the coal barons
of England and Belgium, and that it
has been the general condition for
fifty years. This Pennsylvania ex
ception to the general prosperity of
the country under the Americ n
system, which free traders to delight
to expatiate upon, is unfortunately
relic of the system and conditions
which the latter would have us adopt
in America. Bat on the contrary it
should teach all men the necessity of
extending the principles of protection
eo that they include men and women
as well aa material things. Let tho
tariff of intelligence, good morals and
capacity for self support be placed
upon the immigrant, and such shame
ful conditions as those existing in the
Pennsylvania coal fields will be im
possible.

The congregation of Mr. Waldo Me-ssros
have been thinking over Hint proposition
which be mad» to them the other day. and
it is on it rawed that as a result of their
cogitation* they have decided »Uh a near
approach to unanimity to enrol the'nselves
under the Free Baptist banner. Under the
circumstance* they must expect to have
some doubts ct at on tha tinosrl.y of their
convertion which, it is net to be dented, is
licking in that spontaneity by which n
change of religious rfflllstlons should II
possible be distinguish« 1, There is on ap
parent reason, however, why a* Free Bap

entire Incident illustrates In a very striking
manner the looseness with which denomi
national bends are wi rn In these latter
days of broad «lews and liberal idea*. It
it to lie hoped, however, that the versatile
Ursaaroa will now le content, for there la
doubtless a point beyond which the most
complacent of congregations would refuse
to go even at Che bidding of the most pop

The quarantine deficiencies of the Laza
retto brought out by the recent inquiry
will surprise no one familiar with the facts.
The present establishment la antiquated
and out of data. It is in the wrong place,
unprovided with thn necessary appliances
and unable to give the city protection. It
ought to be abandoned and replaced by a
federst quarantine at tho Delaware Break
water. A quarantine station there would
protect the entire bay and its coasts and
hoop infection at a distance from 1'tiiladel
pbla. With the daily and hourly commu
nication that now exists between the city
and tho shores of the Delaware Bay. there
is something ridiculous in placing quaran
tine a few miles below the city. It docs
well enough, because the dangers ore small
end insignificant; but the wise, economical
and efficient course would be to give up all
present arrangements by the three states
touching Delaware Bay and replace them
by a single station under federal control or
a joint stats commission at the Break
water.—Philadelphia Pires.

Agriculture 1 depression in England
continues without abatement. From
the High lino* to the South Coast
farmers have b»en ruined by free
From 109,000 to 200,000 acres
trad.'.
of cultivated land ere converted into
pastures every year. During the same
p-riod 200,000,000 acres on wliidhbread
stuffs were formerly raided have been
pnt into grass. During the same per
iod 10 490 acres have gone out of wheat
cultivation in Wilshira alone, and a
writer in "Fair Trade" shows what is
tho annual loss entailed. In its pre
sent condition tf very inferior pasture
the iar d is not returning more than $15
per acre, whereas under wheat it would
yield #10; so that the farmers of that
shire lose ft, 111,600 inbound number
every year on the land that has gone
out of cultivation. At the same time
tho agricultural laborers are losing
#803,720 a year in wages, sines land
in rcugh grass requires from 10 to 15
shillings for the cost of cultivation,
when as land und r wheat cultivation
involves an expenditure of 40 to 45
shilling] to the acre. What is true of
Wiltshire applies equally well to other
shires in the United Kingdom, Com
petition with America and the conti
nent has rained not only the wheat
growing districts, but is fast destroy
ing minor agricultural industries, like
hop-raising. The hop-farms in Sussex
and the south of England 30 years ago
were a great source of wealth. Foreign
competition his reduced the value of
the crop and the industry is now lan
guishing. Every year thousands of
acres previously cultivated for this
crop are turned into grass.
Agricultural depression and ruin
have had the inevitable ((feet of driv
ing farm laborers and their families
into the towns to earn their bread in
other occupations. If tho 41,000 acres
of Wiltshire land put in grass repre
sents approximately an annual loss of
#303,000 in wages, tho convertion
into pesturoof 2,000,000acres formerly
under cultivation in Great Britian in
vo'ves a shrinkage of #14,780,480 in
wages for farm labor. Thousands of
farm laborers must have baon com
pound during the last 16 years
either to emigrate or to apply
for work at factories or mines.
The reduction of wages in the
manufacturing centres has been one
of the results of tho collapse of agri
cultural industries. Men, women and
children out of employment have
swarmed from the fields into the back
streets, alleys and slums of the town,
ready to work for reduced wages and
crowding expert artisans out of the
trades. It is this surplus population
in tha centres of manufacturing that
lowers wages and deprives the work
ing classes of occupation. The ruin
of agriculture wrought by free trade
has thus involved the recruiting of the
ranks of the great army of the unem
ployed and the cheapening of labor
throughout England.
American farmers and the industrial
classes dependent upon them for occu
pation and support have steadi y pros
pered under protection. English far
mers and their agricultural laborers
have been pursued by evil fortune
under free trade. American farmers
have every reason to be satisfied with
the results of tho economic policy fol
lowed by the government since 1860.
The English agricultural classes have
good cause for complaint against free
trade as a system that has been ruin
ous to their interests during the last
20 years. Why should the American
farmer vote for the free trade party in
this canvass? Does he oovet.a share of
the impoverishment, rum and depres
sion caused by free trade in England,
A Now Novel.
The New York Tribune «peaks thus
of "Agatha Page," the second novel of
Isaac Henderson, which has just been
rectived by the Institute Library,
Mr. Henderson's first novel, "The
Prelate," was a reniai kable work for a
beginner, and he has followi d it with
a second which is slit) better,
tha Page" ranks with almost the best
fiction of the day. It is a study of un
selfish love: a powerful picture of one
of those social and domestic struggles
with which, human history abounds,
between ths faithful affection of a
noble wife and the dangerous fascina
tion of an impulsive acd unprincipled
rival. Agatha Page is a beaut.ful ctn
ception and gifted with a wisdom of
an uncommon kind. In such a duel as
she is compalled to fight with her
cousin, Merc «le, most women would
have lost the day by yielding to nat
ural jealous passion. But Agatha's
faith in her recreant husband is too
firm and broad for that, and she wins
him back at the most critical moment
by showing him the nobility and depth
of her trust. To create such a situation
without presenting the innocent bus
band as an infenor and despicable
creature, upon whom such a soul as
Agatha's is thrown away, demands not
only great artistic skill but a most
delicate touch.

There is evidently a species of exhilaration

there is just now on amount of rivalry, jeal
ously. backbiting and back talk calculated
to give 0:10 on impression that whatever may
be their virtues in other respects, journalists
are not eliurch going people. A change is
also observable of late, not only in the
method of conducting newspapers but in
tloeir physiognomy. The stahl old Evening
Post, which for lo, those many years, has
spread its wisdom on a blanket sheet, is
shaped like The Son, Times and Tribune.
The equally nncicut Commercial Advertiser

of tho dailies, except The Herald, that they
give you a stronger sniff than formerly of

career of The World is remarkable. From
a imper that was floundering In "the slough
of despond" it went almost at a bound to the
pinnacle of success. As your readers proba
bly know, its proprietor has purchased the
property opposite to The Bun office, known os
French's hotel, and in time, it is said, will
erect the model newspaper establishment of
the United States. It has bold and dashing
editors, and a large corps of copper bottomed,
brass riveted, double back action reporters,
who are equal to any demand of first class
ability, "get there" energy and n highly de
veloped spirit of romance that is never
weighed in the balance and found wanting.
The World has some eccentricities and man
ages to get into frequent rows, but it comes
tap smiling after every round and sets a good
example to the other fighters in the field.
