given to the world. t'
For instance, semi time ago, a newspaper of
considerable cit,culitiop and respectability in Penn
sylvania, contained a leading article, headed, "The
itmerican Coal Trade—its Winit of protection."
This article ontained the following p3s3age:-,
,We impose the trill!Ug (unpoit) duty of 1.98 ,
per ton on forptgo coal. Gret Britain, on th e
Other haild, iatpdsee 'a duty (+upwards of :arm

.foregoing pages. Admitting their general 'aCCUrs
cy-rfor if the Otri..be untrue, all calculation is a•
like futile and 'deCeptive,— it is in the . power of
a
nyone,l to judge for himself in the rostier.• and to
arthe at a redionsblo conclusion. The que,ticn,
is an extremely intere.sting one, especially to eve
ryr Pennillvanian=.-every American; nor is, that
interest alone confined. to this quarter of the
France, ranking high mom; the great menu
faciuring nation's of the earth, has a rapidly in
creasing dema'nd for coal.. Hei mines yield her
an annually augmenting supplyi,while at the same
time, she is, for a time, competed to to her
neighbors. From thence she receives large and
equally increasing importations. These are deriv
ed from the three great countries which have coil
to Spare, namely, from Belgium, Rhenish Prussia
and Oieat Britain; as our tables have shown.
It is not presumptuous or unjust to say that
America will not soon be in a condition to ertter
into convention, either with these three countries
or with any others in Europe; nor will she be , ca•
. pable, commercially speaking, of supplying'other
parts of northern Europe: On this subject it was
said,; a year or two so, that ..a great rivalry now
prevails, in foreign markets, between the English,
..the Belgian, and the Prussian coal. Coals are in
countries, brought to bank, at a cost equally
Modelate. In one important respect England has
certainly the advantage over mher countries, inas
much as the.greatest part of her coal lies close to
the sea shore." •
, .
Puisuing this inquiry, therefore, we have calm
ly to look to what may be probabilities in favor of,
or tha'obstacles that will operate against, the es
tabliahment of a European American Coal trade.
The obstaclei to be encountered in this trade,
and to be 'surmounted in the event of success.
now and at all times hereafter; are the vast amount
of coal M Eliope, es yet untouched, but available
at any moment„; when needed ; particularly in
South Wales an'd in Ireland ; the contiguity of
those Coal regiohs or countries 'to the seaboard;
and their convenient proximity to the markets.
The time is not very remote since the fact Was'
received with incredulity, and even limited pub
licly by rho press and V many intelligent pebple,
that anthracite really existed, in anY,quantity,in
Great Britian or in any part of Enropc..• The ciri :
cumstence that a substance for which them we.‘ .
scarcely any demand, and which from time iiii
memorial, had been rejected, or thought .almost
inapplicable to the - useful purposes of man, had
attracted so 'little attention at home, readily ac
counts for the silence that had been so bing maim
tainetbrespecting it abrottl. ilt certainly explains,
reaionablieno ch, why incisi Americans should be
as ignorant of he.sxistence of an onourmous a
'mount of Anthra ite 'in South Wales and no-small
i , ..,
quantify in 'train% as thatt s..tiropeaZis, and even
Pennsylvanians themselves, were quite unaware
of l.he presence of net accumulations of a similar
mineral, within their own l borders,'but a few years .
ago. , ,
• The prevalence, therefore, of such bodies of An.
thracite; close' to CIUMOTOI39 seaports 'unit - to the
best Continental markets, must fur ages to come,
contkinte en insurmountable obstacle to success
fun trade ins similar pro'd'uctions; whieh happen to
be situated much further inland, and whose pla.
ces of shipment-lue three thou.:and miles more
distant from, the market. The impokant fict
that there exists as lane; if not a larger, amount
of Anthracite in the old world than the new, so
far at leastaz we possess the means of l comparing,'
is.not withaAt its value as an influential ele-rent
in a calculation of such a trade: fulfill econom
ic view, conjoined with a comparison of fealties
of production and transfortation,. these &cum.
stances will not be overlooked or undervalued by•
the praetical merchant and exporter. By far the
greater bulk of the Coal in Ireland consists of
pure Anthracite. It hat been but partially opt.' _
ed ;
.and in fact, until lately inveatigaYed, was but
very little known. It occupies several prolongA
basins, - exclusively anthracite, in five or six Coun
ties of Southern Ireland, Eevo'nshire, in England.
hes a small Anthracite basin ; but that of Wales
is perhaps the most extensive in the world.
There have been many 'calculations as to the
quantity of coal this basin contains. They vary
from forty to fifty, and even sixty thousand mil
'ions of tons, estimated to supply the Consump•
tion of Great Britain for . two or three thousarid
years. With the exception of disnict at the
eastern end of this. bisin,, where the coal is par
tially bituminous, - or semi bituminous,-and co,rk
ink coal, furnishing the fuel for the well known
Iron Manufactures, this great field is comparative
ly untouched and unopened. We have not
30,000
known of any comparison being instituted, as to
the relative magnitudes of \ the Welsh coal Karin,
and•tbose existing in Pennsylvania. It is of im
portance to de this. It Will be an unexpected
fact, startling to many, that this singloWelsh
with its numerous gradatitins and varieties of coal,
contains three'. times the superficial aria of the
principal anthracite coal ,basins or Pennsylvania,
united; in fact, for aught any one knows to the
contrary, at the present tune more than all the an•
tlatacite on the, ontinent of Nentl Americo. as•
Let us ex4tnice the grounds on which this
sert'ori is fitinded. ThAre have been several es.
timates of• the Superficial, contents 'of the IV elkth
basin ; the lowest ofthese, we have seen, on the
authority of an Official report, estimates the area
at 763,000 acres.
The highest considers the coal

This form of comparison, it is obvious, is by no
means conclusive; as we yet have to apply to it
the teat of the relative amount
.of coal• in each a
rea. IThe quantity in,the Welsh basin has been
estimated at forty or more thousand millions of
tons, SA was before stated. The great number of
