The PRICE OF CoAL.-There has
been steady advance in anthracite
coal prices since the first of last Febru-
airy, and there is no guarantee that
they will not 60 yet higher. Coal is
now 1915 and Sc per ton, and these
figures will seriously interfere with the
| domestic economy of great many peo-
pie. The price is already from 81 to
S1.25 per ton higher than year ago to
those consumers who lay in their win
| ter fuel at this season, while to those
who must buy as their needs demand
the price will run SO high as to appear
extortionate. Yet the dealers who sup
ply the consumers are making but q
trifing profit, fully 81 per ton less than
they made year ago when coal was
S5.-N Y. 1drertiSer (rep).
The above is bad news to the con-
sumers, especially at this time, when
money is so scarce and when they must
be thinking of laying in their winters
supply of fuel. This state of affairs is
brought about by "trusts" which are
fostered and protected under republi.
can high tariff laws which make few
rich coal barons at the expense Of the
many fuel consumers. These coal
barons meet at stated intervals and de-
eide how much coal SHALL be mined.
They restrict the output, thus curtail-
ing the earnings of the miners and
force the masses to pay exorbitant
prices for fuel. One coal dealer in this
city says he has no doubt that the
money raised by the coal trusts by the
increase Of price will go directly into
the republican national campaign fund
to aid in buy ng the election and per-
petuating republican rule which will
protect" the coal men. In other
words, democrats as we'll as republi-
cans will thus be forced to contribute
to the republican campaign fund. This
is but single instance OF the methods
the republicans will resort to to rule
aud domineer the country and should
cause recreant democrats who are talk
ing about deserving their party to pause
and consider.
