They ate modified in form, though in substance the same as those presented last Monday, and published in the Ueratp. Tho Doctor opposed appropriations to any religious or sectarian Insittu- tion on principle. He thought the Church shoutd have taterest enongh tn their institutions to support them, without depending upon the civil government for ald. He did not, however, incinde tn this cate- gory literary institutions, But beside the principio itsel{ betag wrong, its application in this elty and State tends to unite Church and State and to subvert our republican tustitutions.

Story of the Miners’ Wrongs as De- tailed by Themselves, Impositions Practisod by the Operators—Starva- vation Wages for Workingmen—Oporators’ Stores and the Order System—Memorial of tho Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company tg tho Ponn- | syivania Legisla‘ure. Jeppo, Luzerne county, Pa., Maren 4, 1871, To THe Eprrox or TH8 Heranp: DEAR SmR—As the coal question is the principal topic of discussion now in the country we, the undersigned committee on behalf of the working: men, wish to make a few appropriate remarks. We see in your paper of the 8d instant (vestorday), quoted from the Philadelphia Ledger, a great rigma- role concerning the earnings of the mmers in this region, Jeddo included. It gives the earnings of thirty-cwo mluers, who earn the fabulous wages of $5 58 per day. There are 200 miners in Jeddo, more or less, and why not average the smail wages with the high wages, so that the public might know how those blood-sucking operators are trying to deceive them? They are very sure to present only one side of the question to the pablic, wile at the same time they contrive to conceu! the other side. We shall leave the public to judge which side they present, There are somo men here who have large contracts and have great risks to run and a number of men to pay, and why not accora the same rights and privi+ leges to those men or contractors as they do to others working on railroads or rock tunnels? Now, Mr, Editor, these operators never inform the public what the balance of these 200 miners carn, Several of our miners told us to-day that thoy aid | not earn two dollars perday on anaverage. We say several, including or embracing the minority, and previous to our organization these 200 sons of toll barciy earned what was necessary to support lite, We have 150 outside laborers who earn the enormous wages of one dollar and a half per day on | an average, and we can freely say that these fgures goabvove the mark. In answer to a letter which | we sec in the Philadelphia Znquirer of the 2d inst. | of u lavishine Insinuations against us as a committee, allow us to make a few remarks. ‘The writer | supscribes his name “Walnut Street’? He be- gins to show, or calls the attention of the public to the great cost of sinking shafts and slopes; building breakers for prepering coal, machinery, company stores, and company houses, &¢. Of these two last- mentioned we shall speak before the close of our letter. Now, when these men first leaced coal works, where were their millions of dollars? They were so | miserably poor as to ny their grab in a basket. | Some were so poor that they were not able to com- mand fifty cents to gain adinittance to a ballroom, while others were bosses who became con- verted or transformed into operators’ sucks and who are now owners of coilteries, They are now miltionnalres and can drive four or | six fast horses with sliver-zaounted harness, besides thelr cosUy and splendid mansions, te furniture of Which would or should be considered a handsome foriune for one of their daughters, if only couverted | into money. Now, sir, we wish to Kouw how did they accumutaie all this ill-gotten wealth, or where did it come from? From the sweat‘of the poor man’s brow.

Fsy.—When a reenmption of work, to take effect on the bth by a deorce of the Grand Counc'! of the Worktigment’s Benevolent Asociation it had been pre- ceded by a demand for a rate of wages far in excess of what pas previously been agreed upon, and which could not have peenbald by (be coal cperators without entailing ruin upoa elV Sicti—The workingmen have been paid n rate of wages which varies with the | Sa of coal, and the new demand made by their associat lower than three dollars perton at Port Carbon the price of d ®& minimum such Wages as they would be entitled to. wh coa! sold for three dolfars per ton at Port Carbon.

But tho onerators and earrying compa- nies well knew that, apart from the tlagrant crimmnaiity of such a combination among the workingmen to advaice the prices, the result of exorbitant prices and the irregularity of supply incident to the repeated suspensions wou.d be tu ruin al hg bint | industry, drive domestic consumers to Is, and ultimately to destroy the entire anthracite The operators have made an offer to the working: pay them, when coul selis at 2 60 at Port Carbon, the t they received last ycar when coal. brow, same was ht the same price, whi.h woes ave to'advanee and deotine with the jrice of coal at the rate of gue par cent upon, wages for evely threo cents advance or Geriue tn tae price uf coal above or below %85u at Port Carbon, provided that there shall be no decline 14 wages below the rato the men would bo entitied to receive when doal selis for two dollars.
