In temple OF finance On Avenue Four
a silver and gold dollar met:
The gold one exclaimed with Il glance
at tire door,
why. haven { you gone away vet?
thought yon were sentenced in rs
To serve with the poor and distressed
And here you appear in the household
with me,
Whose blood is tire purcst and best
l mingled with Princes at home and
abroad
And serve the elite of the land:
No Workman who carries pick or n
hod
So Is me- wish a toll begrimei hand,
While YOU are not welcome whore fash
ion holds sway.
And don go To Europe st alb.
50 with the poor working class you'll
base 20 stay
The Rich folds don't want YOU to call. -
The poor silver dollar retorfed with
scorn:
It's true I'm the working man s
friend;
I've faithfully served him e'er since I
was born
And faithfully will to the end.
We fed and clothed millions. and built
e happy homes,
Tn welcome in workshop or mill.
And whee the great era of free coinage
comes
The workingmen $ pockets I'll fill,
1 don't run to Europe at every small
breeze,
DESERVING tile land of my birth,
But circulate freely wherever please
And stay in the best land on earth.
You bring to your classes silks, laces
and wines,
And trample Che poor ON the street,
While / serve the masses ON different
lines
And bring them their clothes, bread
and meat"

ALABAMA COAL.
II is Being Shipped and Finds a
Market to New Orleans and the South

Market to New Orle0nH anu tnc SOuth
From the Manufacturers Record.
The coal miners of Alabama have begun
the shipments of their products on large
scale to New Orleans. and this is probably
the beginning of a revolution In the method
Of supplying coal to Mississippi river
points. For many years the western
Pennsylvania operators, who were in
position to send their coal out of Pittshurg,
enioyed the bulk of the Mississippi river
business. As the mines Ia West Virginia
we're developed the operators N the ka-
nawta and other districts also entered the
field, and by far the greater portion OF
the fuel supplied New Orleans and the
towns along the Mississippi river and Its
tributaries came from down the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers. over route nearly 2.eoO
miles in length. An idea of the extent OF
stated that Louisiana people alone have
paid Ptttsburg operators about $4.oV).oD
annually and consumed from 1.3eo.UD to
2 900 600. tons Of coal from this section.
The mines in Alabama, although fully
4 800 miles nearer, have been unable to do
an extensive business. owing to the In
adequate facilities for placing their coal
in the lower Mississippi market at price
which woula enable them to compete with
the northern miners. The Southern Kali
way Company however, appreciating the
value and extent of the business which
might be secured. has made special rate
along the Georgia racine DIVISION lrom tne
mines in Walker and adjacent counties In
Alabama to Greenville Miss, on the Mis-
sissippi river. Here extensive coal chutes
have,been erected. 10y which carloads can
be placed directly on barges. Over 100
barges have been secured for the service,
and a contract made with the Ella Lay
man Towboat Company OF Charleston, w
Va. to haul the barges down the river. 1t
is expected that a very large quantity OF
fuel will be placed in New Orleans be-
tween now and October l.
=. Besides having the advantage of COM
paratively short haul, the miners in Ala
bama will not have to wait for high water.
as is often the case at Plttsburg, where
-tows and barges containing $4,000 to 1oO.-
600 tons are sometimes obliged to walt
months before the water reaches a height
sufficient to let them go down the Ohio
river .toIhe Mississippi In addition to
supplying New Orleans, considerable o.
the Alabama coal may be sent by way Of
the Gulf Of Mexico to Galveston and VI
cinity, ard facilities will be provided for
storing coal at that point and shipping 1t
Into the interior of the state.
