Higher prices for coal are ex-
pected during the year 1916. They
are at least hoped for most ardently
by most of the bituminous operators
who feel that an advance of from five
to twenty-five cents a ton is absolute
ly necessary 10 keep them from loss.
The two principal arguments for a
higher price are, that all other articles
consumed or used in any way by the
public have advanced in price, and
the further reason that the profits on
bituminous coal have hitherto been
some of the operators, when the sell
ing price is so very little greater than
the cost of production, is very pre-
carious, and il is the general opinion
that a. higher price must be received
for the production of some of the less
firmly entrenched and less favorably
situated operators will be compelled
to relinquish the business. Another
element that enters into this question.
is the steady advance in the cost of
production, due 10 the deeper mines,
the longer hauls and the higher cost
of labor. all elements that affect mate
rally the total cost of producing
coal.
The introduction and enforcement
of the Compensation Act of 1915 will
no doubt place an additional burden
of accidents TO the State authorities
with the utmost dispatch after their
occurrence will in some instances be
somewhat difficult and expensive, and
the fact that the insurance rates are
to he based on the risks of the indi-
vidual mines, instead of being made
equal throughout the State, will make
necessary the installation of expensive
safety devices by most of the smaller
operators TO bring their mines up to
the standard maintaied by the larger
operators.
Labor troubles of the year were of
a minor character and confidence is
expressed for continuance of peace
full operation, although the renewal
OF the wage scale in both regions
April l may prove an occasion for
disturbance. The bituminous miners
are having prosperous period at
present and they are generally anxious
to continue without a break in their
earning power. In the anthracite re-
gion conditions are more uncertain
and more apprehension exists as to
the future"

AS showing the danger to our coun-
try from the free trade Of the Demo
cratic party, we point out the fact that
during the past eight months there
have come into our country, without
payment Of any duty, goods to the enor,
nous value of 1896, 900, 900. which sum
is s244, 600, 900 more than came in with
out payment of duty during the same
of 1914 and 1915.
If this condition of affairs can exist
with the industries of Europe paralyzed
by war. what will happen when the
war ceases and Europe is permitted to
dump its goods made by cheap labor,
without payment of duty, into the mar
kets of the United States.
We demand a return of the principles
of protection properly adjusted for the
benefit of the farmers, the laborers and
the manufactured of America. and
believe that such desire is universal
throughout the United States.
We call the attention of the people to
the fact that in place of the tariff the
Democratic party has substituted direct
taxes until almost every line of indus
try is now compelled to pay its toll in

GASOLINE AGAIN, ONCE MORE

When we were first told that the
war had batted up the price of gaso-
line, we accepted the sad tidings
meekly, because the war had boosted
the price of everything else-why not
gasoline?
But after the price of gasoline had
advanced go per cent, the big oil
corporations had to find some other
excuse, so they told the consumers
that the supply of crude oil was dim
inishing.
This claim that there is an oil
famine is absolutely false. 1t has
been exposed in the reports Of the
federal trade commission, and by
Secretary Lane, who said in his re-
port to the United States senate that
Is per cent of the production of
crude oil in 1915 was in storage at
the end Of the year.
What actually has happened to
gasoline prices was caused-but only
indirectly-by the war.
The war shut off the foreign de-
mand for kerosene. 1t cut off the
oil corporations profits from this for
eign trade. And therefore, in order
to maintain its dividends the oil trust
now proceeds to pluck gasoline con-
sumers!
And note that while gasoline prices
have gone up 60 per cent, the oil
companies have in some instances
been paying so per cent dividends!
One so per cent dividend was de-
clared by the Standard Oil Company
of California. From the Philadelphia
North American we clip this:
Dividing profits that have been
accumulated for several years, direc-
tors of the Pure Oil company, with
ucduQudIlcI Ill Tic LdldyoJIc uuilu-
ing, this city, have declared in addi-
ton to the regular dividend of per
cent, an extra cash dividend of SO per
cent. The Sc per cent dividends
amount to $2,539,737."
Consider also the remarkable divi-
dend declarations of the Standard
oil group for the last quarter of
1915, which reached the astonishing
total Of $21,788,636!
Someone suggests that we skim
the Caribbean sea for gasoline
there are 1t seems unreasonable
quantities of oil in the islands of that
sea.
Such a freak notion has its place
it reminds the public that before
it becomes necessary to skim the oil
from the seven seas, it might be just
as we'll to get Uncle Sam to manage
our oil and refining business for us,
right at home.-Peoria Journal.
