Added to thi ; it is feared very uuicli physical suffering will ensue during the coming winter in manj ciliea of the United States. This will have â- ouo good cflect ill Canada by opening tiie eyes of our people to the fact that they have been building tuo much upou au antliracilG foundation â€" trust- ing too ranch for a fuel supply to the VRiy limited coalfields of Penimylvania- Already a nioveinenl is jn fool, or at least a BUggeBtioii has boon uiadc, to uatiunalizo our own fuel preserves. Wo have largo quantities of good coal ill our country which ought to be taken over by tho fjovorninent and mined us a national uiulertakin<;^. A good lesson is being read us by point- ing out tho fully ol relying upon jinvaie iiiveslment for our (ad supply. It is too important a franchise to allow of vesting in the hands of a few cap- italists who can grind iho life blood from their workmen on a ChiiicKe liiiaiicial basis and place tho price of this necesiity at any iigaio they choose to demand. Tlii.s condition of despotism has about run its nioe, and for this reason, if for no other, we would liko to see the minPrs win tneir case. Up to tho picseiit tiniu the owiii'ts of coal 'uiiiea liavo snllVred least of all, from the fact that all stotik on hand soared up to a price that ii> iutoiided to reimbiirao tiiein for loss.
