ANOTHER GHOST
THE LIGHT OF EXPERIENCE IS
ALL THAT is WANTED.
John l. Wilson'S Predictions Did Not Come
to Pass. An Increase Of 1927 Per Cent In
Output Of Coal in State Of Washington.

When the tariff was removed from
coal temporarily there was great out
cry on the part of the ultra protectlonist
press in this state. 1t was predicted
that dire consequences would ensue to
the coal industry OF Washington by such
prominent men as John l.. Wilson, and
the state inspector of coal mines also
shared in this belief.
1t should be very gratifying, therefore,
to those levelheaded citizens and eceno-
mists who do not believe that . nation
can tax itself into aflluence, to learn
from partial report of the inspector OF
coal mines, that the exports for 1908 ex-
ceeded those for the previous year by
So, 1893 tons, an increase of 1927 per
cent.
During the same period the output
increased 1857 per cent. OF this in
creased output, the home market con-
sumed $3.50 per cent which does not
indicate that the removal OF the import
duty has the prophesied effect of flood
ing the home market with foreign coal.
The total number of tons mined dur
ing 1908 was 3, l90,477, of which Kittitas
county produced 1,376,017 tons; King
county, l,2l6,5l8; Pierce county, $751;
1856; Skagit county, 1926; Whatcom,
600; Lewis, 800, and Thurston, 1000
OF coke produced, Pierce county is
credited with 47,9l6 tons, possessing a
value f$5 per ton, or $3.50 $50.
The total value Of the coal produced
at 50 per ton at the mine was sc, 1886, 1854.
The combined value of coal and coke
was So 500, 534.
The total number Of employees engaged
in the mining of this large output, was
1876. The wages paid amounted to
So. 1928, 184s5; the total number of days
for all employees was ,49l 1856, and the
average wage paid per dav was $2.67.
Each employee produced on an average
2.13 tons per day; having market value
at the mine of $4.26, leaving profit to
the management Of $3.50 per day on
each employe.
Some idea OF the enormous profits
gathered in by some of our great corpora
tons may be obtained by examining
into the production of coal from the
mines of the N. w. I. Co., operating
mines at Roslyn, Cle-Elum, Ravensdale
and Memont.> The total product for
this com pany was 81 ,634 $3.50 tons mined
at an average cost of $.SS per ton, or 81 )
43S, 72S.4O. This coal was worth at the
mine 80 per ton, or 1926, $3.50, an excess
of selling value over cost OF production
OF 81 1881 ,121 go.
The consumer OF coal who is required
to pay anywhere from 81 to IS per ton
for this same product, should not be too
hasty in joining in the hue and cry, that
the high cost of such articles of necessity
as coal, is caused by the high wages
paid to the wage workers. The figures
show that the reductions in the cost o.
living are possible, without attacking
the meager incomes OF those who have
women and little children looking tt
them for support.
The lesson to be learned from the coal
mine inspectors report, is that legiti-
mate industrial interest is not injured
by tariff reductions, and can prosper
even under free trade.

Of Financial Intelligence has the
following complimentary write
up OF the Bank of Lafayette of
Lafayette, La, in its issue of De-
cember IL:
Since the beginning of the cur.
rent decade the advancement of
the South along all the lines of
healthy development has been
both rapid and substantial. The
expansion of commercial, indus.
trial and financial interests in
growing centres of population
makes an excellent showing and
the work Of opening up new fields
for operation in the direction of
mining, numbering and aggricul-
tural effort is being pushed with
much energy and sound judy
ment. Many strong develop
ment companies have recently
entered the arena, SO to speak,
and the spirit of determination,
enterprise and confidence these
are manifesting augurs well for
the future. In point of fact, the
proofs of progress that may be
readily seen at the present time
by any Observant eye call for con-
gratulatOry comment throughout
the whole country.
A matter to which it is proper
to refer in this connection is the
fact that the Bank of Lafayette,
of Lafayette. La, has increased
it's capital stock from $4,000 to
$4,000, this step having been
rendered necessary by the steady
growth of it's business. This
bank was organized nearly half a
dozen years ago, and from the
first has done most useful work
and enjoyed a high repute. 1t is
now under the management OF
Mr.. Charles o. Mouton, Presi-

recently resigned that position }
Mr.. VIM. Clegg, Vice-P President,

Of notes, drafts and letters OF

with relation to discount and ex'
change business and in the ef'
fecting Of collections. It's pros
