The cause or 'strike maj be found in the fact that the anth cite mine ownershave a large stock on hand, does not pay them to dig out a larger supply present prices.-'ir they cannot greatly cheal the cost of production lt is for their Interest shut up their mines and walt ror a rise values. Consequently they do not hcslti to take the risks or provoking a str among the minen by cutting down th compensation. This they have done throuzh thc anthracite region by reducing t pay ror each car load or coal taken out from $1 to sff cents, out ol' which the miner must hire I laborers (two to a miner) and supply his blastl powder an<- oil. The reduction affects laborers well as mmers, since the latter cannot afford pay the same wages to their hands as under i old scale or prices. For this state of things strike ls the only remedy that suggests Itsell the excited miners-with the alternative ht out or some kind or a compromise with the ow ers-and, therefore, a strike more formidal than any yet known In anthracitedom, ls now pi paring. Thirty thousand .miners, It ls said, w take part in it. The men have little if any mon saved up, the lost unsuccessful strike havii about cleaned them our, and unless the ral owners agree to compromise, which ls not nc very probable, since a complete cessation or wo will put more money In their pockets, all the ml eries and sorrows experienced last winder in t Schuylkill district will be repeated this seas? with melancholy additions. A Paradoxical Position. Tiie Barnwell Sentinel occupies a ralbi paradoxical position. It admits that no ot controverts "the argument of Mr. Mill, "the newspapers, of the Chamber ol'Con "merce and the Board of Trade" again what are known a3 U3ury laws',- and it sai further that it approved of the repealing a< of 1866, now sought to be repealed, whic leaves every man free to do the best he ca with his money. Yet it stoutly supports tl proposition to revive the old usury law9 i the State, justifying itself, apparently, by ti statement of its own experience of the eflei of repealiog those laws, viz: that mone went np immediately to 2 and 2 A per cent month, and has never been lower than 1 an IA per cent, a month from that time to thi? Upon this point, however, the Sentinel ii according to our information, altogelbe wrong. The repeal of the usury laws coul not make money dearer, Iv cause the onl practical effect was to allow money tp b dealt in at the rate3 which lenders were wi] ling to take and borrowers were willing t pay. There was no constraint in the trans action. Capitalists lixed their lendin; rate at thc highest ligure at which they cou! keep all their funds employed. When th borrower could not afford to pay "the ruin "ous rate" which was demanded, the mone was not worth that rate to him, and he wouli be very foolish to take it. But if he dil take it, his reason was that he could not d< without it, or that he expected to make i profit upon its use, and in eithv case thi money to him was worth the rato of inter?s paid. The lender puts his price upon tin money which he has to lend; that price can not be higher than the prevailing rate, yiti equal security, because in that case bor rowers would Beek other capitalists wh( would accommodate them at a lower rate The borrower knows the price, and may tak< the mc ney or leave it When he does take it, whether his operations are successful ot not, he has no right to complain because thc rate is high. Aud it is a fixed law of trade that, where there i3 no legislative interfe renee, self-interest, governing both lcndei and borrower, will keep mouey at the high est rate which the one can obtain, anc which the other can, or thinks that he can, afford to give. It is evident, therefore, that au advance in the price of money, following close upon the heels of the ra peal of the usury law, would detracl nothing from the force of the argumenl in favor of that repeal; because that advance would be the result, not of free trade in money, but of a more active demand for the capital which was to be lent For instance, it is very plain that, as the planters resumed planting on a large scale in 1S66 and 1867, using costly fertilizers with judicious libe? rality and requiring money for wages or foi supplies, the demand for capital must have largely increased But the amount of capi? tal remaiuiug free for employment did not increase in nearly.the same degree. This alone would account for even such an ad? vance in the lending rate os that of which the Sentinel complains But no such ad? vance has taken place. Money was fully as dear before the repeal of the usury laws as it has been since, and at this time money is cheaper in this State than it has been at any preceding period subsequent to the close or the war. A careful inquiry will convince the Sentinel of the correctness of this state? ment It is not pretended, for a moment, that the absence of usury laws does, of ne? cessity, make money cheap. The price is determined by the amount of money which i3 loanable and the number of borrowers. Money is lower uow than it was a few months ago, because the demand has slackened. When there is again a pressing demand and au active competition, the price will rise once more until it reaches the ligure beyond which the borrower cannot go with safety. . The object of the Sentinel, in advocating the revival of usury laws, is to enable the planters to borrow what money they want at the rate of seven per cent, a year; and any measure which would accomplish this would have oor heartiest support. But no legisla? tion can make a man take seven dollars* for what is worth twelve. Let it be assumed that a usury law can be enforced so strictly that no man will pa}', in any shape, more than the legal maximum rate for what ad? vances he requires. The experience of the mercantile world, au experience without ex? ception, shows that no usury law can be rigidly enforced; but, if it could be carried out to the letter, money would immediately flow to that place in which there was no usury law, or where the law could be easily evaded. In Georgia, for instance, where a usury law is iu full blast, money brings thir? teen per cent a year-seven per cent, legal interest and otie-half per cent, a month aa commission. Does the Sentinel think that the Charleston banks will lend money at seven per cent, in South Carolina while they can obtain nearly double the profit In any other of the Statc3 of the South? Or why should money be lent to planters at seven per cent when State bonds pay seven and a half per cent ia gold; when Charleston City stock pays twelve per cent, and ap? proved railroad bonds pay eight and nine per cent. ? This State, whatever may be thought, is not exempted from the operation of the laws which obtain in all civilized countries. The eagerience of the whole w?rld^showa that usdrylaws cannot be enforced, and that they make motley dearer instead of cheap? ening it. Why should it be required of us to turn our back on the plato truth, and learn by painful experiment what is already known and admitted in every place where monew-is a representative of value or a me? dium of exchange? Under no conceivable circumstances can the revival of the usury laws do one whit of real good, while it is nearly sure to do the whole State a serious harm. Money will be harder to obtain, and tho3c who are compelled to borrow will, if the demand regain the same, be forced to pay more than they pay now. This will be one certain result of the attempt, which al? ways fails, to regulate by law the market price of money. Christmas Books. THE SONG OK THE SOWER. By Wm. Cullen Bryant. New York: D. Appleton A Co. 1870. It would be hard to find a more charming gift book than this. The binding is rich and tasteful, the paper ls thick and fine, and the forty-two engravings ra wood, which illustrate' the poem, leave nothing to be desired In con? ception or skilful execution. Judged by itself, the "Song ot the Sower" is worthy of Its elab? orate setting. For sale by John Russell, King street. ESSAYS WRITTEN IN THE INTERVALS OF BUSI? NESS.

The essays on self-wisdom, on our Judgments of other men, and on the exercise of benevolence, may be read with advantage everywhere, and from the essays on the education of a man ol busi? ness and cognate subjects there la many an important lesson to bo learned. The essay on organization in dally life is the most ?lab?rate of the series, and ls full of useful hints and val? uable suggestions. For sale at Holmes's Book House. Price, $1 50.
