During the month of October, 1888.
the Philadelphia a. Reading Company
shipped from its mines $685. tons OF
coal, equal to y, 900 tons for each full
lay worked. That months shipments
brought TO the company's treasury at
least s.. 600, 900. And yet we are now
Witnessing the lamentable spectacle OF
no coal shipped at all during long
periods OF idleness; not 8 dollar re-
ceived from these vast possessions when
the company SO much needs money to
pay its interest, all because the pool, or
conspiracy. had agreed that no coal
should be mined or shipped. What IS
the coal pool? Five of the leading
coal-producing corporations agree to
keep coal out of the market to drain 1t
dry to compel consumers to pay GER
tain price for it, and by not glutting the
market, to force buyers to continue
paving exhorbitant rates. Coal-yard
men are driven to buy at the advanced
rates, and the poor consumer. the retail
purchaser, the manufacturer, and the
wholesale consumer pay the piper.
The Philadelphia d Reading corpor-
alton belongs to this coal pool its
hands are tied. Its great mines are
idle half the time 1t owns millions OF
tons of coal unmined, YET it defaults It's
interest. Thousands of miners are on
the verge of suffering because they are
not allowed to work; thousands OF cars
are idle; hundreds of locomotives are
cold, thousands of employees are either
out of work or laboring at starvation
wages all because the great pool must
be kept up. The coal conspiracy to
hold the market must not 90 down.
Now, as to the cost of coal: To mine
it costs about $l.50 a ton. To ship it
to tidewater at Philadelphia, ninety-fiye
miles. costs about % cents a ton, or
81. rs in all The same coal retails in
Philadelphia at $3.50 and 81 a ton
Thirty miles from the mines it sells for
So ton, and the retail dealers declare
they can hardly keep life and soul to-
gether on their meagre profits. OF
course, the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad Company paid at least $780,
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-09-10

-'--'--'-'--'..-.--. ......-..........2 70
Ii the retailers profit is fifty cents a
ton (and that is doubtful in all eases)
the company would reap profit of at
least % a ton on every ton of coal it
sold Making due allowance for loss,
wear and tear ETC., would reduce their
profits for each ton to about $275 at
hdewater That is the scheme of the
coal pool. They want that profit or
none at all. They want more than 100
per cent or they will default in Sne
payment of their interest, cut down
wages, shut up collieries ana machine
shops, and create a general panic in
the section in which they operate. What
Is the defense OF the coal pool? They
say that if there are no restrictions to
mining, no explicit understanding as to
how much each company may mine
and sell, the market will be glutted all
the time, prices will be cut, coal will go
begging for buyers, and prices will be-
come so low that coal mining would
soon become very Improbable. They
virtually kill all competition, consoli-
date into one giant monopoly, and COM
pei the consumer to pay whatever they
may see fit to ask for it. The Readings
capacity IS equal TO one-third the ca
pacity of the anthracite coal mines of
America; its facilities for cheap mining
are unsurpassed; its Goa. property
worth twice the money it paid for it,
and yet, be ause 1t can not realize 100
per cent. on its coal mining, it prefers
voluntary bankruptcy, default and a
general shrinkagc of all its securities
Had the Reading been an independ-
dent coal misar a<d shipper it could
, have sent to market in the past three
| months enough coal, and sold it at
that, to have realized sufficient money
to pay its interest. Had it sent its coal
TO market, consumers would have been
| able to purchase coal at reasonable
rates, a refreshing opportunity which
the coal-pool does not propose to toler-
ate just yet. If the Reading Company
were an Independent coal-miner, free
from all alliances, standing upon its
own bottom, AS all legitimate business
enterprises should, by working full
time, II could EASILY send to market and
| sell 6,O00,0 900 tons of coal every year,
which would be equal to a clear profit
of Sl,000,0O0 a month. But the pool
saysS "No, shut your mine; discharge
your men; wait, wait, and compel
higher prices. and there is a chance
that your profits will be greater" 1t
was while waiting for those profits that
the Eeading became apparently bank
rupt, and reeied and fell under its
heavy load. 1t vas waiting until the
time came when the buyer, the retailer,
the manufacturer would be compelled
to pay eXorbitant rates. 1t was race
| between the two, and the consumer
won, because, in some instances, he
shut up shop rather than buy, and in
other instances bought only enough to
run half time. 4 he consumer under
stood the coal-pool, and refused to bow
and buy. Cor Chicago Times.

Mr.. S. G. Tracy has been suffering
since last September, up one day and
down the next, and for three weeks pre-
vlous to taking Athlophoros he was unable
to feed himself, and had to be moved in
his bed with sheets, as it panied him to be
touched, and slept but little in the three
weeks. One hour and half after taking
the first dose of Athlophoros, he was free
from pain, and in two days was able to be
about the house, and soon after was on
the street and as well as ever. He had
taken several rheumatic medicines, and
was under physicians, care, but without
avail. Otto L. Hoffman, Druggist Col
