Ten years ago the idea that British
railways and factories would become
dependent in even a partial degree
upon coal supplies from this side of the
Atlantic would have have been re-
ceived with derieive incredulity In the
United Kingdom. But in this case, as
in many others, the unexpected has
happened, and the forthcoming ship
ment Of coal from Philadelphia to Eng
land promises to mark the beginning
of a new era in the development and
transportation of the worlds coal sup
ply.
Not only in Great Britain. but In some
continental countries, many coal veins
are either becoming exhausted or their
working has grown Improbable. owing
to the great depth to which they have
been followed. Modern industry has
an inexhaustible appetite for the black
fuel from the bowels of the earth. and
the European magazines of coal are
showing distinct signs of impoverish-
ment.
The United States already supplies
the countries of Europe with q large
proportion of their bread and meat. 1t
does not seem unlikely that the next
few years will see this country also act
ing as producer OF coal in large guam
titles for foreign consumption. For
tunately our own resources In this d.
rection are practically limitless, and
Pennsylvania has the finest facilities
of all the states for taking a prom
inent part in this movement.
All these conditions may fairly be
attributed to the wise and statesman
like policy that has been pursued by
the leaders of the Republican party IN
national affairs. Mckinley prosperity
seems to pervade every section OF the
United States, and fresh evidence
comes almost daily of the determina-
ton of the American people to continue
the Republican party in power. The
coming election will show how appre-
ciative the people are Of the efforts OF
the Republican party to advance the
commercial interests of the nation.
