BUSINESS CONCERNS
READY FOR NEW TARIFF

Two things are noticeable as the
new tariff is about to take effect
first, that business of all kinds is
proceeding with increased energy
and optimism. and secondly. that
nowhere is there a marking-up of
prices on the necessaries of life.
Business in highly favored lines
has responded in this fashion to the
stimulus of privilege and monopoly
when tariffs for extortion have been
adopted. but in this instance prac-
tically all business feels the impulse
of freedom and justice.
If under the new and lower
schedules the cost of living does not
Immediately come down, it is GER
tain that it is not going to be in
creased. For the first time, since
the war tarih was imposed upon the
people half century ago, we have

cence and prices stable or showing a
tendency to decline, go together.
They prove that the country is
ready for tax reduction: that it no
longer leans helplessly upon tariffs;
that it is weary of monopolistic
shackles, and that from this time
forward there must be freer trade
and wider markets.-GNew York

OUTPUT Of COAL IN
KENTUCKY INCREASED
Two and a Half Millions OF Tons,
Chiefly From the East.
ern Counties.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The pro-
duction of coal in Kentucky estab-
lished a new record in 1912 with a
total production of 16,49O,52l
short tons, according to Edward w.
Parker, coal statistician of the
United States Geological Survey.
This represented an increase of O.
44O,S1S tons over the figures for
1911 and of narly 100000 tons
over the formd }maximum output of
1910. There was an even greater
increase in value in 1912, namely,
2,S45,749 over the figures for
1911. The increased production in
Kentucky was due chiefly to the new
developments in the eastern part OF
the State. although the western
counties participated largely in the
gain.
The number of men employed in
the mines in 1912 was 24.3O4, and
the average production per man CTS
tons. Kentucky ranks second
among the States in the percentage
of coal produced by machines, Ohio
holding first place. In 1912. Sc pei
cent. of the coal produced was ma.
chine mined. Labor troubles in the
State were insignificant during the
year. but according to the United
