ENGLISH AND AMERICAN COAL.
Of election

The belief is expressed by experts
that a. larger and permanent coal ex-
port trade can be built up between the
United States and Europe.
During the past year much American
coal was exported to England, but the
conditions We're altogether abnormal,
Oh the coal carrying railroads in Eng
land sending the price up to eXtraor-
been removed, the American shipments
are falling off, but the situation that
prevailed for some time has attracted at
tention to the subject generally. For
some years past, there has been a con-
slant upward tendency in the price of
coal in England, and the experts say the
time is not far distant when that coun-
try will nave to lay an export duty on
coal in order to save it's mines from ex-
haustion.
Our coal measures seem practically in
exhaustible, and while the present high
freight charges make it impossible for
America just now to export coal in
great quantities in competition with the
English article, the time when it can be
done is coming.
Over there, they are approaching the
time when the supply must gradually
decrease, while the cost of putting it on
the market increases. In this country
the exact reverse is true. Coal is SO
been developed at all as yet, because it
would be necessary to build railroads to
them, and there is no necessity of in
creasing the supply. The cost of pro-
duction is decreasing while the supply,
owing to these constant new discoveries,
is all the While increasing.
With these conditions, each the re-
verse of the other, maintained in the two
countries, it is clearly evident that the
day is not far distant when the export
Of American coal to England on a large
scale will become a permanent feature
OF our trade.

I take her little arms caress and in the

Go out into the world of toll, the battle

Ring, anvils, with your clangor!
Burn. FORCES, fierce and far!
The night shall bring the world Of

Where love and goodness are.

lips of love,

L~ight-hearted for the stress because a
child heart loves me so.
Swing, hammers, with your clatter!
Whirl, wheels, and shaft and beam!
The light of love shall guide me home
From out this shroud of steam.

l take the tender memory of her word
that cheered and blest;

Some o7sour Italian electors are fur, leus at the statement that all tie sons of sunny Italy in Waterbury intend to support the republican ticket at the November election and declare that when it comes to a matter of counting heads more Italians will vote for Bry an than for Mckinley.
