this afternoon: president Cleveland

Cleveland has the courage to display n
friendly attitude to Great Britain on
certain questions, which, If roughly

his language courageous, for his care

showing the relative exports OF coal
from the United States and Canada TO

comparison of this question, as the ex-

would largely depend upon the trade

your attention 10 the fact that much Of
the coal supposed to have been exported
10 foreign countries was coal carried by
steamers from American ports and was
used by the steamers as bunker coal on
their return voyages, and really never
was discharged in the countries credited
with importing it. The reason Canada
imports so much coal from the United
States is that the coal mines OF Penn
Sylvania and other states are so much
nearer the western part Of Canada than
the mines OF Nova Scotia that the short
