IL is true that Secretary Moody and
perhaps Others have declared for free
anthracite coal. but as there is no true
anthracite anywhere in the known
world that equals the Pennsylvania
product il requires no argument to
show that after the extraordinary
prices that now prevail for hard coal
recede to the normal level. none viii
ne imported. So the taking of the
duty on anthracite and leaving il on
bituminous coal will not affect the price

hand nearly every democratic candi-
