SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT II. 1898

THE PEoPLE OF Frankfort, Kentucky,
evidently think forbearance has ceased
to be virtue, and their grand
Jury has indicted every coal merchant
in that city for conspiracy to raise the
price of coal. But the merchants
say the coal mine owners com
pei them to pay more for their coal,
and the latter, that they are forced to
do so by their striking miners. So in
this, as in all other instances, the bur-
den falls upon the consumers. The
better plan for everybody would be to
remove all restrictions upon trade as
well as upon labor, and throw every
thing open to fair competition. Good
a5or, like good everything else, is al
ways able to hold its own in free
market, without either legal or illegal
protection.
