A RELATING CASE

In a suit brought in Philadelphia
by q coal merchant TO recover dam
ages from the Pennsylvania railroad.
a rival coal merchant admitted that
prior to 1901 he had received rebates
from the Pennsylvania railroad
amounting TO s341.O6123. He said in
effect that his firm and one other
firm OF coal merchants in Philadel-
phia were allowed rebates regularly
by the Pennsylvania railroad; that
these rebates were paid by Vice Pres
ident Frank Thompson. and that re-
batting from the regular tariff SEIZED
ules was the regular thing at that
time. The merchant who brings the
suit estimates that he lost 100000
through the rebates allowed his com
petitors.
II Is not difficult 20 see how a local
dealer allowed such enormous advan-
tages might easily monopolize the
trade Of a great city As matter ~
fact. n appears that the two favored
coal merchants did control the greater
bulk Of the Philadelphia coal trade

WEST VIRGINIA AND THE
UNDERWOOD BILL

Free wool.
Free coal.
Free lumber.
This is what the Underwood tariff
bill proposes for West Virginia.
We grow from four TO Ave million
dollars worth OF wool and sheep in
west Virginia every year
We produce from twelve TO fifteen
million dollars worth OF lumber.
We produce about sixty million dol
lars worth OF coal.
These three great industries bring
into the state OF West Virginia annu-
ally about sixty dollars for each man,
woman and child in the state. Most
OF our coal is sold out OF the state.
Most of our lumber is sold out of the
state. and most OF our wool is sold
out OF the state. They are three great
revenue producing industries Under
Republican administration they have
enjoyed reasonable protective duties.
but certainly not extravagant ones
Wool, coal and lumber ;lave all been
sold under competitive conditions.
There have been no monopolles in
their production or marketing. They
have been controlled by no trusts and
the public has not been robbed BY
any combination OF producers
The proposed reductions in tariff
duties are intended TO make cheaper
wool. cheaper coal and cheaper lum-
Der. and every dollar that these pro-
ducts are cheapened. so far as West
Virginia is concerned. will come from
the pockets Of the consumers, the
farmers and the land owners OF this
state.
How do they like the prospect?

citizens. They lack knowledge OF
American ideals. and under the strep-
uous processes OF earning a living
they find no time TO gain such knowi-
edge. Their children OF the second
and third generations may become
good citizens and they may not. but
this yearly accretion OF new citizens
makes a problem which is not pecu-
liar To Massachusetts,.
