To the Editors Of the Net0s
My attention has been called to the follow
ing quotation from your paper, and as II may
be misleading to your readers / ask space
enough To amend your statement. The quo
tation II as follows:
Coal goes up up, up But alas for our Demo, Pc ns
cratic friends! Mckinley didn't do IT, Coais on
the free list.
II is true that anthracite coal is on the free
list but the coal that is used by the majority
being on the tree list. Paragraph 43S OF the
Mckinley Bill Is as follows:
Goal, btumnous and shae, seventy-five
cents per ton OF twenty y-eight bushels. eighty
pounds 10 the bushel; coal, slack or culm,
such as will pass through half Inch screen,
thirty cents per ton OF twenty eight bushels,
Very truly. SAMUEL w. MENpuM.
Mr.. Mendum is entirely right, and so
is the NEWS. The coal which is going
up, up, as referred to in the extract, is
anthracite coal, tariff free. 1t is the
ordinary coal of the household,
the only kind with which the New
England housekeeper, who is SO COM
miserated on account of the Mckinley
bill, is familiar. 1t is going up, up, up,
not on account of the tariff. but be-
cause of financial combinations of the
railroad and mine owners. Their de-
cisions and acts are scarcely affected by
the tariff on bituminous coal.
New England manufacturers would
undoubtedly appreciate free bituminous
coal, If they could get it without suffer-
ing ruinous reprisals. The coal of ordi-
nary domestic, shop and Office use is
free now.

The NEWS does not wish to see the
ever present Canadian question settled
in any way but the right and natural
way---that is, by the annexation of Cam
