A PATRIOTIC PROPOSITION.
II think it is patriotic and profitable. for
example. to use American coal rather than
foreign coal (Cries of You are righr.D L
think the use of foreign coal. which makes
idle miners in the United States. is most
expensive experiment for the American
people. We must go back TO the policy and
conditions of 1890 to start our factories and
increase our demand for American coal.
We must re-establish the system by which
we increased the output OF coal from the
mines of the United States from 100000
tons in 1850 to l41, 600 900 tons in 1890: that
increased Sc the value OF our annual product
from S5ouUUOUo IN 1880 10 $3.50. 900 600 in 1890,
that increased the number of persons en-
ployeo IN our coal mines from 10000 in 1880
70 as9oVV IN S dSS9; that paid in wages 70 these
nilners In 1880 Sl09OO000Q against $50, 600 0O0

IN those or Pehnsyivania and Ohio, but we
can stand a matter OF homo competttion
IL is our own people blood OF our blood
owing allegiance to the same flag that have
