Subscriber Defends WILSON, AssaiIs
Republicans.


! To the Editor The Washington Herald:
The record OF the great national
Republican party is of interest at
the moment. a national election is
at hand. The pathway to the ballot
box is open.
Directing the destiny of this re-
public for over half d century. our
empire has grown from thirty odd
to forty eight free and independent
States; not due to the wisdom of
our legislatures, but to the industry
Of the boys in the cotton fields Of
the South. the grain fields of the
West, the workshops OF New Eng
land. and to the men who have de-
veloped our mines. built our factu-
ries and constructed our transporta-
tion lines.
One among the first acts of the
Republicans was the attempted or
ganization of the Credit Mobilier y
scheme that would have made Ponzi
look like a piker. Think Of an
American Congress mobilizing the
credit of the United States
The decentralization of silver in
the I0's was unwelcome news to
the Western farmer, already men
aced with drought, N &asshoppers
and other ills, during Sheir heroic
efforts to purchase, develop and i'm
prove our Western lands.
Conscious of the necessity for a
change of air, exercise, food and
environment, Charles Sumner, of
Massa Chusetts, Roscoe Conkling, of
New York, Lyman Trumbun. Of IL
linois. Carl Schurz, of Missouri. at
that time members of the United
States Senate, attempted the or
ganization of the Liberal Repub-
lican party. Few liberal Republic
ans at that time could be found
and this political baby perished on
the door step.
Hoping for relief, the Greenback
party was organized, but like the
Populist, Bull Moose and other po-
litical births" they are all AT
rest" in the political cemetery
a published fact, that when the
Republican cohorts assembled in
Chicago, the nomination was made
on Tuesday and not made known
to the assembled delegates as to
lowing Saturday night about 10
p. m. Do the people rule? Do rep
resentatives represent?
In these hard and scientific times,
in these days of wireless teleg-
raphy. flying machines, subma-
rines and reversible horseshoes, we
know not what discoveries, what
inventions, what thoughts may leap
from the future brain of the world
We can not dream of the garments
of glory to be woven by the years
yet to be. We can not even con-
template the victories to be won
upon the future fields of thought.
But We do know, that coming from
the vast and infinite sea of the flu
ture. there will never touch this
bank and shoal of time a richer
gift, rarer~ blessing, a more benefi-
cent boon than liberty for man,
for woman and for child.

In every large town there is an
organized body of men who treat
politics as an occupation and a
source of revenue" said the clergy

they can get out of the State. That

the manner in which his great re-
form movement got under way. But
when they found out what we were
really aiming at, both laymen and
clersymen gathered around me. At
that time there was no difference

my Judgment what seems to be the

Property Long Under Lease to United

During Which Time Much Develop

At recent meeting of the directors
of the Horseshoe Copper Company, a
policy to let leases on the property of
the company was adopted The mining
ground lays in the vicinity of White
Knob and comprises over dozen claims
on which much development work has
been done in the past, and from which
much ore has been shipped at profit.
Small leases operating prior to the time
the property was leased to the United

pail the company around ten thousand
dollars in royalties.
The lease with the L. S. people has
now terminated and the property is
again open to lease, the directors de-
string to encourage the small lcaser to
take the ground and personally super
wise the extraction of ore.
During the time the L. s. people had
control of the mines under their lease

work was performed and there was ex-

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-09-24

Unfortunately we have not the reserve supply that we usually have, for last spring when mines were open the railroad could not handle the coal fast enough and an embargo was put on. By the time the embar- go was off other roads had become congested and could not deliver to the New Haven rapidly enough and then when coal began to come along in quantities through some fault of railroad conditions empty cars were not sent to the msnes fast enough and miners who were willing to work could only work small part of the time. Mines which needed twenty cars day only getting one or two and some days none.
 Another feature which enters into the New England situation is the fact that dealers and people did not want to pay the high prices and waited about their supplies thinking that the price might come down. The result is that now there is some coal to be had. Canada and the Northwest, which do not seem to care what they pay for coal, are buying i. away from New England"

companies as the Lehigh, Pennsylva- mia 6 Reading, Lackawanna and the Delaware & Hudson. Most of the coal is coming from the smaller and what are known as the independent mines These mines, in view of the fact that it costs them more to oper- ate, were given a differential of 75 cents by the commission.
 Prices will have to be higher on coal. The very lowest price that the retail trade can get at the mines to- day is SIS, per gross ton, from that But very little can be purchased at the low price. The average price would fall in between. The old freight rate to Bridgeport was s2.S0 per ton plus three per cent war tax. This makes coal in Bridgeport before s17. I have been checking up with dealers in this state and in New Hampshire and all agree that at pres ent cost of labor, etc., that the over head and delivery cost S4 ton more.
 Coal is selling in Waterbury for $20 per ton. In Norwich it is $22. Middletown has little which is be- ing sold for s19, but as soon as that has gone the price will have to ad- vance.
 Tt is a serious problem which stareS the coal dealer in the face. no business until it is possible to get coal for a low price or to buy wher- ever he can, and pass the extra cost on to the consumer? In the first in stance people would say he left us to shift for ourselves when things are bad and we will not go back to him when times are better. In the second instance they would say the coal dealer was a robber and therefore not to be traded with.

(COnLlnueQ rom Hage One.1
 One dealer who had stopped taking orders said that he did not know when he would have any more coal. That it would take him three weeks to fill what orders he had booked after he got a supply of coal. Another dealer told of spending day in New York xoIng around from office to office try ing to buy coal but no one would take his order. Still another said that coal brokers in New York when they got hold of three or four barges of coal sent out as many as a hundred letters to customers saying they had a little coal and from the answers picked the one which offered the highest price and let that man have it.
 A wholesaler said that few retail dealers could show a profit and that a number had practically offered their Aasiness at a bargain if he would take = off their hands.
 -l J. Heffernan, secretary and treasurer of the New England Coal Company, seen in his office by a Times man, said: The whole situation is bad. The tonnage so far sent into the New England states is not more than 25 per cent. of the normal needs The prospect for more is contingent on weather conditions and whether the miners give up their vacation strike and go back to work and honestly dig coal"
 Tt is not possible at present to get more than about 25 per cent. as much coal from what are known as old line companies as it was before the war. By old line companies l mean such
