Chicago Tribune recently. to the effect that 300 600
tons of American coal had been sold to the German
Emperor and TO be delivered in Berlin at a
not exceeding S 50 per ton, price less thar
Chicago dealers have to pay The Tribune ex-
planned this disparity in prices by saying the
transportation rates were lower than railroad rates
This explanation THE Commoner" criticised as
absurd, and said:
Unreasonable greed and unfair advantage ac-
corded to corporations in this country account for
thf. disadvantage, and yet Republican papers have
a habit Of denounc;ng any Democrat who suggests
that the time has come when should 'shackle
cunning as in the past we have shachled force"
Mr.. Saward says in reply TO this criticism:
No contract made with the German Emperor
with any one for 100000 A lot of about 900
tons was sold TO German firm, to be delivered
at Hamburg A fanciful writer said some Of it
might go to Berlin to the palace: that is all there
is 10 that Its cost based the wholesale
rates charged any AT Philadelphia 1t was
possible to get vessel at shilings Cor 81 75
a toni to Hamburg, SO that the cost may not be
over IS so per gross ton wholesale alongside dock
there The Chicago price is the retail price Water
transportation is far cheaper than that by rail-
anywhere, and vessels often take cargoes at NOM
inal rates, rather tnan go light buy ballast
We often send coal from Buffalo Duluth for
10 cents q ton, and regularly transportation from
Pittsburg by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers is
figured ar so cents ton. There is no ''unreason-
able greed" unfair advantage
