Coal.

Great preparations are making To
meet foreign demands for coal, partic-
ularly i'll Baltimore, where shipping
facilities are undergoing increase i'll
number and magnitude.
1t is equally pertinent to state that
the interests behind these movements
are looking mainly to the Georges Creek
coal region for their supplies, and
sccondarily to regions farther westward
and southwark.
Georges Creek coal, however, is the
prime favorite with discriminating
buyers, those comprised i'll the new trade
having been largely impressed by the
prestige gained by its use i'll the success
ful naval operations before Santiago two
years ago.
Meanwhile it has been asked-"what
is now the use of the tariff on coal, since
more is going out than coming in?'
The JOURNAL does not know better
answer than that New England is still
the base of demand for coal and that
Nova Scotia is still nearer to New Eng
land than Georges Creek is.
And, certainly, 50 long as New Eng
land ~W have tariff which protects
New England products, New England
should pay something for the privilege
of "doing unto others" as she will not
be "done by"

An "Imperfal" CORPORATION

The Standard Oil company is paying
dividends this year at the rate of 1
millions month, or As per- cent. per an
num upon its capital stock, or about
16S per cent. per- onn'm upon the actual
investment.
Or, as the New York IIorId states it
This sum as millions of dividends) is 2
millions greater than the dividends of all the
national banks in the country. It's 8 mil
lions more than the governments annual dis
bursement for interest on the entire national
debt. 1t represents 81 per cent, dividend upon
a capital of billion 81 millions-a sum
greater than the value of all the gold and sill
yer, coined and uncoined, publicly and pri-
vatey held in the whole United States.
And this is only part of the power of the
little group of Standard Oil magnates. There
are ther ten great banks and trust conf
panies, with annual deposits of 432 millions
and annual loans of 3i2 millions-a financial
combine" that controls the money market
of the United States more perfectly than a
motorman controls his electric car.
1t is stock phrase current that the
democratic party is the only institution
in the country that brings on money
stringencies and panics.
1t is not true.
The JOURNAL has long held that these
periods of adversely and those other sea-
sons of shadowy prosperity are alike the
creations of the money power.
The II'orld goes further and states, in
effect, that the Standard Oil company
alone ''controls the money market of all
the United States more perfectly than a
motorman controls his electric car
That is the concern, therefore, that
dictates how 'full the workingman' $
dinner pail shall be.

Speaking of the anthracite suspension,
the New York JjOrld says
In discussing the coal strike it is not i'm
p,oper to mention that there is third party
in interest-the general public-whose well
fare is entitled to certain consideration.
That is an open question.
1.-The general public is the party Ill
interest that has permitted if it has not
voted for the establishment of the very
conditions which divide employer and
employee.
Especially is this the case i'll Pennsyl-
vania.
And to very large extent over there,
as elsewhere, the miners ut the polls are
the authors of their own misfortunes.
For instance, the actual company
store could have been voted out OF
Pennsylvania long ago if they had pre-
cedes regarded it as a grievance.
But party, which comes before country
in partisan affections, naturally comes
before everything else also.

The True Basis ofChOicc.

There is always medium.
Extremists never tell the exact truth.
Not even in church.
Sometimes not on the witnesS-stand.
Mckinley is not so good, nor Bryan so
bad as some partisans report.
Both seem to be irreproachable in pri-
waite life, and both more or less blame
worthy in public.
Between the two men there is little
choice.
Between their professions and prom
ises there is wide divergence.
Choose We, therefore, between meas
ures, not nominees-"principles, not
men,"

Replying to a Geographic message for

encc We're put in the Foreign Office
archives at the Hague, the Gar, after
expressing his sincere thanks, says:
God grant that the labors in which these
gentlemen have taken such active part may
serve as the basis for the establishment,
even though in the distant future, of uni
ve'sal peace, which is the goal of Christian
civilization.
1t is impossible to doubt the sincerity
of such language.
Yet what contrast this, from the auto
crat of autocrats, presents, compared with
the views of those in this free land who
urge and are scheming to billet upon the
country a large standing army.
The question may, therefore, soon
manifest itself-is it part of the scheme
of Destiny for the United States to ex-
change places with the Russian empire?

Almost Fatal,

William Jennings Bryan very nearly
ruined his letter accepting the demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency by
allowing that portion which belongs to
the populists and silver republicans to
creep in just between his remarks upon
trusts and election of senators by direct
vote.
Even that portion could have been re-
deemed by emitting the fallacy that the
United States can build Chinese wall
around a law made bi-metalism of their
own that will have to be broken down
every time Il business transaction is
made with foreign people.
Unquestionably he is too bright man
to give faith to such an absurdity.
And that view is discomforting
For if his sincerity can be impeachcd
here, is he honest elsewhere?

be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
