St. Paul Review: when the coal
trust buys by the long ton aud sells by
the short ton, it has big profit on the
first transfer. When it pays the miner
on the same basis, another profit is add
ed to the more than ten per cent al
ready grated. And when it bargains
for lake transportation on the long tor
rate, it makes another. History fails
to record a case where the coal kinl
busts in business That fate is i'm
possible.

able that the people of the State wi

too late to take measures to prevent Il
trusts enjoyment of the monopoly
q. has acquired or to ensure to the peop
of the State any return for the miner
j. wealth of which it is being divest,
for the trusts benefit. That remail
