The annual report on the coal industry
of Illinois. furnished by the State bu-
reau Of statistics, shows that miners were
never so prosperous as under the McKin-
ley and Roosevelt administrations. The
coal output OF the State now is nearly
twice what it was under Cleveland; IT,
600 more men are employed than six
years ago. and wages are fully so per
cent. higher than in 1897.

A sound and stable currency, good at
par in all countries, is badge OF ma.

people are indebted to the party that has

When the industries OF the country
prosper coal is in demand and miners
get their full share of the general pros
perity. When the mills and factories
close or work on short time for lack Of
orders, railway traffic falls off and the
mining industry suffers. Miners are as
much interested in maintaining the Re-
publican policy of protection as any other
class Of workingmen

ton Of the 100000 estate OF the late
