ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON,


Engllshmen have concluded BAR
gain which gives them 100000 tons
of American coal no 70 cents q ton.
You know what the ordinary Amer
lean has TO pay for eoul, You know
also that there IL q tariff on coal,
TO prevent any American from get
ting an outside supply At reason
able price, These are very old fQcts
and not worth talking about any
more, The coal trust IL one Of the
lot that have got TO run their course,
like the me0sles or mumps, They are
not to be stopped by talk or theory.
What IL interesting In this sale
OF coal nj rs cents ton In this--so
IL seems TO us, The American coal
miner used TO be u man deyoting his
attention 10 extracting conl from the
earth, The actual trust coal miner
Is an institution devoted TO digging
money out of the public. The coal
trust has secured the right 10 sell
us nll our coal, II no longer bothers
about the amount OF available coal
in the conl pockets II figures out
how much money there Is in the
pockets Of the coal consumers and mr.
ranges TO get that, Putting up the
price OF conl brings out all the coal
money--nml Nt the same time de-
crease the consumption of coal, That
Is an excellent economical arrange
ment for those who own the Ameri-
can coal supply, Every American
idiot who lives under trust govern
ment is compelled 20 economic in
the use Of coal, and at the same time
he pays cut 10 the trust as much
money as though he had used coal
freely,
Such a nice arrangement makes II
possible TO sell 100000 tons Of Eng.
ishmen for rs cents a ton, Omcre frac-
ton of what Americans pay. The eX-
ira English money is simply yelevt,
All the American coal money being
raked in, Sl,jOO,0OO from England
now and again Is acceptable.
Various other trusts are engaged
in this same business Of charging
Americans what they like-mning
the people scientifically, as IL We're,
and selling to foreigners at ridic-
ulously low rates American oil can
be bought anywhere cheaper than in
America. American steel Is sold on
the other side Of the Atlantic for less
that you, an idiot American could
buy II AT the works in Pittsburg. We'
have built up industries through pro-
tectlon-and foreigners get the bene-
fit while we still pay the trust prices,
which means thieves prices,
The change from this system is GO
ing to be very interesting. II will
not come soon--moncy can buy what
ever II wants in this country. II
can get laws at bargain prices, and
officials at reasonable rates. from the
president down, Therefore be sure
that you idiots who pay the freight
will have TO show energy before you
get change, You will not get IL
without seeing soldiers called out TO
quiet you, ms they were called out in
Idaho. You may not believe this, but
you will see II sooner or later. Then
You will believe II, The present sys-
tenn means hundreds of millions
yearly for those in power, Do You
imagine that they are going to give
up the power or the millions without
q fight? # you have that idea, you
do grave injustice to the character
Of the American trust owner fTe
may be n corrupt rascal, JIe is q cor
rupt rascal, beyond any question.
But he will fight like any other rascal
for what he has got--N. Y. journal.
