COAL and IRON PRODUCTION.
THE REMARKABLE OUTPUT OF
BOTH THESE ESSENTIALS FOR
THE YEAR 1896
AS CoNTRASTED WITH 1898.
THE TOTAL VALUE OF COAL ALONE
WAS $26O,OOO,O 900.
Will the Pig Iron Valuation Was
$246, OOO, 900, or More Than Double
What 1t Was in 1S9S-The Total
Value of Mfneral Products in 1899
About $500, 1000, 200.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Accord-
ing to returns representing between
eighty and ninety per cent. of the to-
tai tonnage, the production of coal
in the United States in 1890 is esti-
mated by Edward w. Parker, statisti-
clan of the United States Geological
Survey, to have amounted to ~2S0,S3S,-
973 long tons, equivalent to 258, $50, $50
short tons. AS compared with the pro-
duction in 1898, when the product
amounted to 196, 405, 1858 long tons, n
219, 974,6 67 short tons, this indicates
an increase of over "a, 900, 900 long tons,
17.5 per cent. These figures exceed
by 100000 short tons the outside es-
Inmates heretofore made on the coal
tonnage for 1893. The production of
220, 00O, 900 short tons in 1898 was near
ly 20, 100000 in excess of that of the
year 1897, and both of these years were
banners in the industry. 1t is not i'm
possible that the figures for 1899, as
estimated, may be somewhat reduced
by later and more complete returns,
and in fact this may be predicted as
probable, but even a reduction of s.
000, 900 tons would not amount to two
per cent. of error in the total. The
total value of this enormous product
is estimated at $259, 435,412, an increase
of over $51, 000, 900, or practically 20
per cent. over the value of the product
in 1898.
The part that anthracite coal played
in this unprecedented production was
an increase from 1863 75 long tons,
or 1882, 644 short tons in 1898, to 3d.
S57 ,495 long tons or so, 1920, 1893 short
tons in 1899, with an increase in value
from SIS, 4 ,537 to SIS, LIS ,493, a gain
of nearly $13,0 00, 900. Bituminous pro-
duction Gncluding semi-anthracite,
semi-bituminous, camel, block and
Ignite coals) shows an increase of over
81, 600, 900 short tons. and a gain of
nearly $500 00 900 in value. There
were only three States that did not
participate in the general increase.
These were Arkansas, Georgia and
Idaho. In the former the production
was cut down by strikes which kept
some of the largest mines idle a good
part of the year. The decrease in
Georgia was very small and the entire
product of Idaho has no effect on the
total
Another interesting and unusual
feature of coal production in 1899 was
the fact that there was an advance in
prices, the first instance of the kind
in ten years.
The production of coal in 1898, and
the estimated output for 1899 is:

The French fishermen of st. Perrie

prevent this. The French are bitterly
indignant.

The production and consumption of
coal is so closely associated with that
of pig-iron and of manufactured iron
and steel that it is worth while to note
what effect the record for 1899 made
by these commodities will have upon
the total mineral production for 1899.
The production of pig-iron in 1899 was
10, ZOO, 900 long tons, against II, 773, 1884
long tons in 1898. The average price
for pig-iron in 1899 was about SIS per
ton, making the total value about S246.-
600, 900, against SIG, 557, 900 in 1898,
when the average price was less than
$40 per ton. This makes an increase
of $3.50, 600, 900, and the increase of $751;
600, 900 in the value of the coal product
makes a total increase of S1S1, 900. 900,
which, without any increase in the
other mineral production, would make
the total value of the mineral products
in 1899 about $3.50, 900, 900.

thinks Holt Strongest Man in
state For Nomination.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, June 8 -
Virgil A. Lewis, who was one of
the candidates for the nomination
for Governor, is entirely satisfied
with the result. He had no hope
of winning, except in the event of
a deadlock, and when"he saw that
it must either be Tavenner or Holt,
he threw his strength to the latter.
II have the highest regard for
Judge Tavenner," said Mr. Lewis,
"but Holt is nearer to us in Mason
and that is why we wanted to see
him nominated, L think that Holt
is the strongest man that could
have been selected"

IRRESPONSIBLE.

and being irresponsible, it has COM

ocratic nominee for Governor. 1t
is to be expected that paper like
the Mail-Tribune will, in "slimy
language" attack Democrats, as it
is the cesspool of all the rottenness
of the clog Combine" of Kanawha
county. 1t plays falsely with all
the decent people of it's own party,
and it could not be expected to
treat Democratic candidates with
anything smacking of decency.

half deformity, and about the low

write for a newspaper, and the
worst newspaper sneak outside OF

no standing in Charleston, or in

CRATIC Legislature, to $2,0oO,0OOI
for the two current fiscal years, an
increase of more than forty per
centum in the annual expenses
of the State in six years
In open defiance of the explicit
provisions of the Constitution it
has refused to publish the custom
airy report of the receipts and dis
bursements of public moneys, SO
that the people may have an OPP
portunity of learning in detail what
sums are received into the treasury
and to whom and for what purpose
the public funds are paid out. To
repay old services of party sub
bosses it robbed the State treasury
of over $4,000 in lump, under the
pretense of paying military claims
that had been repudiated by n non
partisan Legislature more than a
quarter of century before.
And .fitrther resO5ve@:
"To reward hungry claimants for
party recognition more indirectly
at the public expense, it has praC-
tically wrecked the management of
some of the State institutions by
making out of them mere local po-
litical machines, to be run as adj
iunots to itself, the great central
head of the political oligarchS of
the State. AS the natural result of
such political manipulations, laxity
of methods and wasetful extrava-
pance are now dominate in the con.

against the protest of every labor

the Republican party of West Vir-
ginia is now run on lines of prac-
tical, commercial politics without
any pretense of considering the in
terests of the people or observing
tho common decencies or proprie.
ties of public life. Every conven,
ton is in charge of trained federal
or state office holders, nearly all
candidates are already feeding at
the public crib and now either ask
ing for another term or to be
changed from an old place to new
one. Judges of courts act openly
as chairmen of county conventions
and county committees. Other
county officers illegally discharge
the duties Of election officials.
"The Democratic party therefore
asks to be restored to the direction
and control of the government of
West Virginia in the assured be-
lief that such n restoration will re-
suit in more honest and efficient
conduct of public affairs in the
State, in the prevalence of high
or moral tone throughout all the

Minutes to Convention.


PARKERsDURG, w. VA, Juno Z
In addressing the convention

shy fellow citizens and Demo
Gratis of West Virginia-When l
survey this throng of faces turned
to meet my own, friendly and now
fair, and not to me unknown, and
when consider the courtesy eX-
tended to me by the distinguished
citizens of Fayette, [ am pleased,
for it affords me an opportunity to
correct an impression which some
people seem to have had because |
was not here last night. I have
heard that 1 have been called a
sore head. Why, God bless you
and your party, you don't know me
yet. Beginning in 1979-22 years
ago-in my maiden campaign, and
1 believe / have some witnesses
within the sound of my voice to
prove that have never read a
Democratic platform from that
time down which / could not
stand on comfortably and with ease.
From 1878 to the present time, [
have stood true to the principles to
which he (pointing to Bryan's
picture) is the champion. l have
stood true to the immortal princi-
pies of Jefferson.
II saw an account in morning
paper of the intense bitterness of
the convention last night. l want
to say there was no bitterness. /
know no bitterness to any man who
is striving for the welfare of West
Virginia. I'm in accord with the
principles of the Democratic party.
/ claim no credit for being a
Democrat. 1 couldn't be anything
else if wanted to. God bless you
in your labors of the future and in
the labor of this convention in the
past, and crown those labors with
success. 1 join Col. Mcdonald in
saying: Forget not to bury the
Republican party deep down, and
bury them with their feet down 80
that when they kick they will go
the deeper down
81 thank you, gentlemen, and es-
pecially the 453 loyal friends who
stood by be SO faithfully in the
contest. Words can never express
my thanks to you. And to those
opposed me 1 express my good
feeling. 1 have no ill will for them,
but thank them for they have re-
lieved me of lot of hard work for
the next five months, and, 1 hope,
from four years moro of arduous
toll"
