1t is understood that President
Roosevelt brought the coal trust opera
tors to agree to the commission" by
the threat of proceedings against them
under the interstate and antitrust
statutes. AS the price of coal has been
advanced by the trust, in spite of the
staying of the strike, much beyond the
price in former years. the administra-
ton would seem to be responsible for
the high price. if no steps are taken to
bring the trust to time. If their fear
of the threat of the President was suffi-
cient to make them agree to allow a
commission to be appointed, the same
power could force the trust to stop
bleeding the public by the high price Of

Neither President Roosevelt nor the

coal consumers will be satisfied until
they are furnished coal at reasonable

tii'tli - Hceueu loT luDiiC purposes.
In order to save the monopolists from
any loss of the privileges and spoils
they now enjoy under the tariff laws
all this money must either be disposed
of by prodigal appropriations or locked
up in the treasury-iirst to produce
stringency and then to be liberated by
questionable expedients.
To squander the money by giving it
to ship owners or otherwise will be dan
gerous to the party. II is hardly to be
supposed that the people will reward
party which takes from them hun
dreds of millions to be wasted or used
for the enrichment of individuals.
TO lock up the money is hardly less
dangerous to the party and 1t is far
more dangerous to the public. 1t nee
essarily means imitation. because the
money taken out of circulation is re-
placed by Importation and increased
coinage, and when at last the locked-up
money is let loose, as it must be, there
is just so much imitation.
This process can end only In disaster.
1t feeds the fires of speculation, initiates
prices. leads to unsafe practices in
banking. and at the end of the road
lies panic and industrial paralysis.
Yet the Republican leaders persist in
a policy which must end either in reck-
less and demoralizing public expendi-
ture or in panic and prostration and dis
tress because they must take good care
of the protectees and the trusts.
They may find that taking care of
these precious and prosperous pets of
theirs will lead to their political down
fall.
