EXPECTATION OF COAL
DURING THE PAST TEN YEARS 1T
HAS QUADRUPLED.
Growth Especially Marked with Ref
efence to Shipments to Countries
in Western Hemisphere.

Exports Of coal from the United States
during the year 1900 are likely to reach
$2O,O0O,OO in value. against $l0,00O.O00 in
1895 and $6.OO00O0 i'm 1890 The figures of
the treasury bureau Of statistics show that
the exports OF coal from the United States
during the seven months ending with July,
1900, were 90 per cent in excess OF those
during the corresponding months. of last
year and double those OF the correspond
ing month of 1898. In the seven months
ending with July. 1898. the exports of coal
from, the United States were 2,375, AL TONS
in the same months of 1899 they were s.
O08,0S2 tons and in the corresponding
months of 1890 they were 4.6Ol. 755 tons.
During the period from 1870 to 1900 the
expectation Of coal from the United States
has quaorupled but the principal growth
has been in the years 1898. 1899 and 1900.
While this growth IS observable In the
exports to all parts of the world 1t is espe-
ciaily marked with reference to our ex
ports to the American countries. To Brit
ish North America, the exports in the
seven months Of 1898 were 1.7SS.39s tons,
and In the seven months Of 1900. 1888, S03
tons. To Mexico the exports in the seven
months of 1898 were 24393S tons and in
the corresponding month of 1900, 415, 1874
tons. To Cuba the exports have more than
doubled, being in the seven months of 1898
11i.65o tons and in the seven months of 1900.
2H,I12 tons, while to Porto Rico the ex-
ports increased from 2621 tons in the seven
months of 1888 to 1913 tons In seven
month of 1900. To the Hawaiian Islands
the exports of the seven months of 1899
were 10.3S1 tons and In the corresponding
month of 1900, 81, COL TONS thus more than

cation upon the subject as follows:

Our Duty In the Matter.
he Editor of The Evening Star.

Mr.. Bryan pleads for return to the
principles OF jefferson and Monroe. whose
fame was born Of their efforts to make ours
the highest type of liberty. In the face of
this he insists that Cuba ct al. be made in
dependent. an insult direct to the liberty so
dearly won by the men whose principles
Mr.. Bryan claims to uphold.
Does Mr.. Bryan or any of those ambigu-
ously styled anti-fmperialists believe II
would be a fulfillment OF our duty to aban-
don our proteges to an independence which
promises only political ruin. instead of
yielding them the freedom promised, and
that freedom Of the highest order?
Then what more direct method of trans
hitting Independence and its blessings to
Cuba and her sister possessions than to en-
ter them in our Union as territories pass
them on to commercial equality with the
states and then raise them to masters de-
grees in the Masonry of the states.
