II the duties on foreign coal, and the adop-

the investment Of American capital in tho
pictou mines; mud We haye no question that
the Nova Scotia coal would be mined on
the most extensive se,le, md be delivered
in Boston OF New York, or at Portland,
at a cost not exceeding fram s. to $3.50
per ton. With the United States for a mar
ket, the coal fields Of Nova Scotia would no
longer remain unopened. but their wealth
would be made au1iiary to the productive
industry Of this country.
Coal is essential to tho personal wants
Of every people, and, in this age, to ever!
branch Of industry. It is, ne1t to food, tho
most Indispensable Of nil commodities, be-
causo it enters into all the fo1ns Of hboz
production. 4 tar upon il, therefore, stands

No theory Of protection can Justify q duty
upon it Ii Illinois produced all the bread
stufs grown in the United States, our peo-
Pic would have tho Same right to demand
that no grain should be admitted to the
United States, except at ratea which would
permit our fasmers to ask whateycr price
their ava1ice might e1act as sufficient, rs
