The Hon PRlcE OF CoAI,-The prof
its Of the coal operators are so great
that it is said that one citizen in New
York alone receives 100000 from his
coal dividends, and the Philadelphia
Ledger remarks
"A rise of fifty cents in the cost Of
Transportation increases the cost Of coal
to the consumer one dollar or a dollar
and half per ton, every addition to the
cost Of getting the coal to market being
the pretext for charging twice or three
times the amount TO the consumer The
incomes of these coal men show the
enormous profits they are making oil the
public, and that no legitimate profits OF
trade require coal TO be at q price which
compels the poor to SILVER all winter al
their labor, unable to ind the means tc
purchase sufficient supply o! coal tc
