Did it ever occur to the republi-
can editor that while he crows over
the high price Of wheat, the men
who are forcing the price up or
down as the case may BE- are just
common, everyday gamblers?
That not one OF them ever produc-
ed a bushel of wheat on earth?
That the farmers crop Of that
cereal is simply being gambled .on
before it is fairly out of the ground?
That when he crows over SITS
wheat he crows over a price which
to a great extent is hctitions and
could not be obtained at the local

A FIELD FOR OUR o A
Good Opportunity in Venezuela of
DIsposing of the Product
of Our Mines.

Louis Goldschmidt, consul AT La
Guavra. says there is an excellent mar
ket in Venezuela and doubtless il

for coal produced in the United States.
s. present nearly ali the coal con-
sumed there is mined near Cardiff,
Wales. and shipped in sailing vessels.
The large consumption of this article.
and the total absence of the American
product. Notwithstanding the rroE-
unity Of the American coal fields. led
n. ~GolGschmidt TO investigate the
natter. The result OF his OhScrva-
tons is an interesting report 10 the
state department.
The only coal mined in Venezuela is
produced close 10 Barcelona. i is Of
Inferior quality, and is not Dough:
when other ccal can he had. Coal pays
no duty. All Of the article r,tailed
comes from one source, and til prin-
cipaI railways use Cardiff fuel. which
sells at a high figure, because OF lack
u competition. The retail price Is
rom $I1.2O a ton to $l2.6o a ton Of
2,2i0 pounds.
One of the reasons why the British
c.aI j. preferred Is that the Welsh
miners send it III small bricks seven
. e;-h; inches ana u inches long.
This makes the coal easy to handle On
the small engines employed in Ven
cEuet2. Coal is carried on q little
platform. as the Locomotives have no
tenders. If the coal were in the or
binary form it would roll off. Then,
