uation as 1t pertains to the delivery of
coal from various sources in the Unit
ed States to Panama canal points.
The position we take with view to
sharing in this business Is, at this
time, dependent upon so many condi-
tons which are either unknown or
have not yet been investigated, that I
hesitate TO predict what action will Re
taken. other than to say that our pres
ent investigations to date enable as 10
know that we viii tap some of the
best OF the Alabama coal fields: that
these fields contain coal which will
compare favorably with that now
being supplied from the Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Ohio fields: that
rates for rail transportation from the
Alabama fields TO tidewater can be in
stalled which will compete favorably
with those from the more northern
fields: that the price of coal at the
mines in the Alabama fields viii prob
ably be no more than elsewhere and
in all probability. ocean rates from
Pensacola to the canal win be at least
IS low, II not lower, than from such
points as Newport News. Norfolk or
Savannah.
Vessels engaged in the coal carry
ing trade. operating from Pensacola
would undoubtedly carry a greater an
nuaI tonnage than these same vessels
going from the ports mentioned above
on account OF the shorter distance
1t would seem. therefore. that with
the proper handling Of the problem
the Alabama coal fields, In conjunction
with the railroads tapping tha gull
ports. should have nothing to fear
from competition obtaining from other
places.

Should Democrats Control.

IF the result Of the election were to
put the democrats completely in control
Of all branches of the government. then
we may look for the reduction Of duties
upon all those articles the manufacture
of which need protection, and may antici-
pate a serious injury to a large part OF
our manufacturing industry. We would
not have to wait for actual legislation on
this subject. the very prospect OF demo-
cratic success when it's policy toward our
great protected industries became under
stood would postpone indefinitely the
coming of prosperity and tend to give us
recurrence OF the hard times that we
had in the decade between 1890 and 1897.
The democratic platform declares protec-
ton to be unconstitutional, although 1t
has been the motive and purpose of most
tariff bills since 1889, and indicates as
clearly as possible the intention to de-
part from a protective policy at once. 1t
is true the democratic platform says that
the change TO the policy of a revenue
tariff is to be made In such a way as
not to injure industry. This is utterly
impossible when We are on protective
basis. and it is conclusively shown to be
so by the necessary effect of bills already
introduced and passed by the democratic
House for the purpose of making strides
toward a revenue tarin. 1t is now more
this country have had an experience in
such a change as that which the conf
ing in of the democratic party would in
volve. 1t ought to be brought home to
the people as clearly as possible that
change of economic policy, such as that
which is deliberately proposed in the
democratic platform, would halt many
of manufacturing enterprises and
throw many wage earners out of en-
ployment, would injure much the home
markets which the farmers now enjoy for
their products and produce a condition of
suffering among the people that no re-
forming legislation could neutralize or

High Cost of Living and the Tariff.
THE statement has been widely circu-

How England Grows.

A great deal of interest is taken ir England in the question of coast pro- lection. The ocean, assailing the cliffs, gradually tears them away. but this very process furnishes a defense for the land by building up long beach, es of sand and shingle which arrest the waves before they can attack the cliffs. An effort is making to prevent or better regulate, the removal Of this material for construction and road building, because in many places it's removal has permitted the sea freely 10 exert it's power Of erosion.
 The Ordinance Survey has ascer- tained that in the last thirty-five years England has lost coco acres by sea erosion, and gained 4s000 acres through retaining land the existence of which is mainly due to material brought down by the rivers.-From the Youths Companion.

TRAP OF HIS BOYHO0D DAYS
One of the Familiar Sort Set by Lads Awakes "Reminiscences of
 City Man.

q used to set traps like that" this man said. referring 10 one which some boys had set up in a city street to catch sparrows.
 It was a small wooden box turned bottom side up and set at the outer edge of the sidewalk with one end lifted and supported on stick. One end of the stick was on the sidewalk and the other end under the box edge. The boys put some oats on the side walk under the box, and 10 the SUD- porting stick there was attached a Sring leading across the sidewalk to the house area the boys lair When the sparrows came under the box to get the oats you pulled the string and twitched the stick out and down came the box 10 trap the sparrows under it. Or that was the idea.
 Just like that" this man went on. That's time-hOnored sort of trap. We didn't have any sparrows then; what we used 10 try to catch was pigeons, doves, and We used a bigger
 
 put under it was bread crumbs.
 Time and again I've set up such a trap in street where pigeons used To come around and baited it and then got of somewhere holding the string and waited for the pigeons 10 walk under the box so l could trap 'em.
 And the pigeons would come and they'd walk around the box and pick up things all around il and sometimes they'd get so close that was sure they were going under and then I'd crouch down. all keyed up. ready 10 pull and get 'em. but somehow they generally stopped right at the edge. or If one got under and l pulled the string the pigeon was always sure 10 get away before the box came down.
 'I don't know just how it was. but ] never caught q pigeon. l guess it will be about the same here now with ihese boys trying 10 catch sparrows, but it's lot of fun 10 set the trap and try"
