 The United States geological survey estimates the worlds pro- duction of coal in 1901 at 866, ,165,- $40 short tons. The three great coal producing countries of the world are the United States. Great Britain and Germany. Austria Hungary comes fourth, France is fifth, Belgium sixth and Russia seventh. The last country, not withstanding its vast area, produces only about 6 per cent as much as the United States. Prior to 1899 Great Britain led among the worlds coal producers, but during 1899, 1900 and 1901 the United States has made such remarkable increases in coal production, due principally to the unprecedented ac- tivity in the iron and steel and in other metal trades, that it now stands far in the lead of all com petitors, with a production in 1901 exceeding that of Great Britain by fst7s s965,93 short. tons, or 19 per E<r3lt z2zs.

While it has been comparatively easy
for Republican machine leaders to silence
in Congress the voices of those who de-
manded Republican revision of the
tariff, they will find that the popular de-
mand for tariff revision is not to be so
easily silenced. Those Republican rep
resentatives who oppose their party ma.
chine on this issue do 80 because they
know the sentiment of their constituents
If the American insistence upon tariff
revision is not properly met by the Re
publican party, the Republican party
will be turned out of power. This is the
lesson to be learned by that party's ma
chine leaders within the next few years

At the present time the tariff and the
trust combine to make the strongest and
the most urgent issues before the people
of the United States and if judiciously
handled will serve to advance the demo.
cratic party substantially and in the end
will restore that organization to power
or force needed reforms at the hands of
the republicans. Aside from the trust
question the tariff issue is stronger today
than it was in 1876, when it gave Tilden
the popular vote, or in 1884 or 1892,
when it brought about the election Of
Cleveland. The number of industries
that have passed far beyond any pos
sible need of protection is larger than
ever before, and the injustice of make
ing American consumers pay the exces-
sive prices that can be demanded where
foreign competition is restricted by
heavy duties has become more apparent
than at any time in the past.

pEAcE-AND THE PRICE.

The world will join Great Britain in
welcoming news of peace in South Africa.
The more we sympathise with the Beers
the greater must be our relief that they
are to waste in hopeless conflict no
more of that gallant blood than which
no braver warns mems veins, and the
heartier our satisfaction that the new
King has, with wisdom worthy of his
peace-loving mother, urged the proffer
of terms which proud men might with
out humiliation accept.
The war was revealed in Great Britain's
weaknesses, but not weakness. 1t has
proved her military system gigantic
failure, her administrators ignorant, her
leaders incompetent; but perhaps a
Continental nation, matching formal
soldiercraft against the veldt strategy of
the Beers, might not have Jared much
better. No other nation could have
mustered shipping to place SO great an
army upon shore so distant, and sup
ply it so steadily for war of invasion
and conquest.
No one in Britain needed Kruger's
warning that the price of conquest would
stagger humanity; but it has been paid
Besides the waste of life, the conqueror
has paid five times its acre value for the

weight in gold. She has put tax
on food and handicapped herself by a
debt greater than it has been since the
Crimean war; she has seen in England
itself the sinister wage of war in high

and birth rate ever recorded. She has
threaded the republics from side to side
and from top to bottom with block
houses strung like beads along military

the gigantic task of planting, building,
and restocking to heal the wanton ruin.
A heavy price for the cynic cruelty of

The yanquishedin in this CHASTITY game
of slaughter have won all its pitiful
honors. History tells of no defense

they laid down their lives simply and
uncomplainingly; and when seven
eights Of their number were dead or in
prison, their wives and children penned
in fever camps, their homes in ashes.
they were ready still to fight, when
victory was unhoped fer, that not one
of them might need to accept unequal
terms of peace. They have given the
world new measure of patriotism, a
new ideal of valor.-New York World.

Il TO OBSERVE FLAG DAY.
Will be Officially Celebrated In
Iowa this Year.

For the first time in the history of
the state of Iowa proclamation has
been issued by the governor of the state
this year requesting that the people OBJ.
serve June "a as Flag Day. For several
years the flags on public buildings and
some private homes have been displayed
on sthis day, but never before has the
observation been requested in Iowa by
a proclamation. However, the custom
has become so general that the action of

largely for the widespread notice that
Flag Day is attracting, is Richard G.

instruction. Mr.. Barrett is patriotic

laud his nation in any way possible.

the United States, then comprising the
thirteen original states organizations.
The day had been observed in semi
official manner for several years past,
but an especial effort is being made this
year to secure uniform observance
throughout the United States. The
governors proclamation in full is as
follows:
''In harmony with custom rapidly

be encouraged by all lovers of their
country. l hereby proclaim Saturday,
June IA, 1902, as Flag Day, and earn

Washington, June 5.-President
Roosevelt spent some time yesterday
afternoon considering the proposition
of the New York board of trade and
transportation, that he appoint COM
mission to investigate the strike sit
uation in the anthracite regions, with
a view to effecting an arbitration of
the differences between the miners
and operators. 1t is stated that the
president had not yet decided what
action he will take in response to the
suggestion.
Senator Hanna, of the Civic FEEDER
alton, when interviewed last night,
professed to know nothing of the New
York boards action, but it is intimat-
ed in official circles that if a commits
sioner is appointed the president will
look to the senator to undertake the
task.

LAbO2 TROUBLES HAD EFFECT.
Influenced Market Some Wednesday.
designations Effected United
States Steel

New York, June 5.-The stock mar
ket yesterday was still confined to its
narrow professional rut and lacked
even the few special features which
varied the monOtony Tuesday.
There was some slight irregularfty
during the day, but the general tone
was rather heavy. The losses were
small and were caused by very light
selling, which was probably due
merely to the efforts Of the profess
SIGNALS to afford a basis for trading.
The ostensible explanation Of the
heayiness was the report received
from the anthracite regions yeeter-
day morning that some Of the coal
mines were suffering from the shut
ting down of the pumps due to the
inability Of the operators to get suf
ficient substitute labor for the strik
ing engineers and pumpmen. The
rioting in Chicago over the teansters'
strike had the effect Of somewhat
sharpening apprehension over the
subject Of labor troubles generally.
The effects Of the coal shortage are
In the meantime growing more acute
and the possibility Of the soft coal
miners becoming ultimately involved
in the dispute is always kept in mind.
This possibility may have accounted
In part for the rather marked heavi-
ness Of. the United States Steel
stocks. The resignation of two direc-
tors Tuesday was also factor In the
case. The tendency OF retiring inter
ests to embark in competing enter
prises was discussed. The decision
to maintain the present price Of steel

orders already received running into

selling Of United States Steel, espe-
cially Of the preferred. The weather
