Our Coal Industry AndThe Tariff

We have received marked copy of the
Wheeling West Va.,) Intelligencer, in
which there is letter from one Max Pracht
of Oregon dealing with the effect Of the
Wilson bill on the coal trade Of this coast;
What are the conditions todayp For
eign Goals are as easily obtainable as before.
and the quantity imported shows but little
falling off But is the price to the con-
sumers any lower9 No, it is not. Why2
The answer is simple one: Because the
foreign coal operator, having waited until
the most of The Pacific coast mines had
been closed down because Of the timidity
of capital, which was Withdrawn, and the
scattering of The miners, who were forced
further reducing the low ebb of farm wages
by competition.
We do not know Max Pracht of Oregon,
but if he cannot trace his genealogy back
to Ansnias and Sapphin he ought to be
able 10. II there is any place in the Uni
ted States where the effects of British Co
umbia coal are felt it Is here on Puget
Sound. 1t is not true that most Of the
mines here have been closed because of the
timidi,y Of capital or anything else, be-
cause all the mines are running just as
usual. It is not true that the miners have
been scattered. There is as large force at
work now as ever there was. Il may be
added that new mines are being opened
up.
The veracious Max goes on to say ,ha
the British Columbia mine owners have put
up the price o! coal. which Is another false
hood. British Columbia coal is higher
than Washington coal. and il costs fully
as much to mine il. Mr. kangley, mana
ger of the miners at Ros'yn in this state,
said in an interview published in the pro-
tectianist Pest IntelligeIcer the other day
that the only advantage the British Co
lumbia mine owners have over ours In the
matter Of cost is due 10 the fact that the
ceal beds there are thicker than with US.
He might have added that there are fewer
"faults" in the coal mcasurers there than
here. The truth Of the matter is tha, coal
can be lad down at any point on Puget
Sound from tho Washington mines for less
money than it can be bought from British
Columbia. Tue only reason that British
Columbia coal can snd q market here al
all Is because i, is different n quality from
our domestic coal The British Columbis
miners have not put up the price and they
do NOS control this market and there is mol
the slightest likelihood Of their doing SO.
Ii would be difficult to conceive create,

GERS correspondent has sent it. The lette,
is written fer the avowed purpose OF in
dncing tie people of West Virginia to vo.'
against Congressman Wilson. In all es-
sential particulars il is wholly and wiIful-

hence if used freely over compost heaps il
not only prevents unpleasant odors, but
