To secure this guarantee Beading puts In trust securities enough to cover the amount needed eaoh year, which is about $3,500,000.

V. FEARS OF THE COALTRUST Gov. Pattison May Get After the Monopolists, AD, PERHAPS, BREAK THE TRUST. Ills Attack on the Pool of lSSA-Coavl Speculators Uneasy Wall Street Agi tated Will the Governor Take Another Decided Standi New York, Feb. 15. The stupen dous coal combine, engineered by the lesding financial houses of New York and Philadelphia and the managers of the corporations engaged in the anthracite coal trade, is the most ab sorbing toplo In Wall street to-day. Wall street has become nervous over the possibility that a vigorous stand may be taken by the State au thorities of Pennsylvania against this glgantlo monopoly. It is known that Gov. Pattison Is no friend of monop olies, and In 1880, during bis first term in office, he issued a strong pre sentment against several railroads and other corporations which bad combined to control the anthracite coal trade, and which had at that time arbitrarily advanced the price of coal. In his latter to the attorney-general of the State at that time Oov. Pattison said: "They ean mark up coaj prices to any figures they please, thereby subjecting the public to their mercy, injuriously and unwarrantably taxing every fireside, and imposing upon coal consumers the financial burdens which the speculations of some ot these companies have en gendered. "Against such combinations th individual is helpless. The Common wealth of Pennsylvania, in creating corporations that are members of the anthracite coal combinations, vested them with the right of eminent do main and other franchises of a publlo naturo. They owe certain duties to their creator. Their Interference with the natural currents or conditions of trade has been in violation of what is believed to be sound publlo policy, and against the best interests of the State. It prejudices the publlo and oppresses individuals. It is a perversion of the purpose for which they were created." It is believed that Oov. Pattison holds the same views to-day that he did when he made this telling ar raignment In 1883. The only differ, enoe is that the situation is now much more alarming than it was then.

Their next general conference will be held at In dependence, Mo., where they were driven out and dispossessed of their property In 1838. Here they now have a membership of 800 and are finish ing a $10,000 edifice. X THE FREE WOOL BILL. The Articles which Mr. Springer wanld Kxempt from Duty. Washington. Feb. lfi.
