A writer in the Cedar Falls iowa
Gazette has the following to say in re
gard to the question OF using corn for
fuel:
Among the many econo mics the
fuel question is prominent 1t is
serious consideration that in these
very hard times, with approaching
winter upon u.s., selfish monopolies
have combined without necessity or
reason to extort from those who pur-
chase hard coal. Unnecessary, be-
cause the supply is practically un-
limited and thousands plead for work
and wages to keep them from hunger
and suffering. and would gladly mine
the coal and aid in it's distribution.
| "Must we submit to this extortion?
| No. At the relative price corn is
three times the cheaper fuel. Some
may ask, is it right to burn what
might be used as food? | think it is
wholly question of economy, The
stock is so immense that little is
wanted as food and if quite a portion
should be burned the renal d |
would be enhanced in value. Is i
sensible for farmer to load corn
haul to town, sell and pay the none.
for coal, getting home with actually
less fuel than ne started with? Ant
is it wrong to burn hill OF corr
which was grown in ninety days whel
we do not hesitate to slaughter ant
burn the brave old oak which for cen
turtles has stood against storm AM
food, sheltering the aborigines an
the pioneers of our own race? By thi
| course the farmer avoids buying NOR
lumber for cribs, and paying cash TO
what he already has in better value.
"Townsman and farmer would say
t money, enhance the the value of cor
: remaining, and demonstrate to tn
!, coal octupus and railroads that the
are not wholly at their mercy"

me that he had decided to close with the

that the price of the shares should be in

Thus dismissed. returned to my no.

of this interview. The Khedive had SHOWN
far less eagerness in the matter than
he'd ben justified in expecting. from the

take some decisive step in order TO force
his consent.
