The United States produces 585,090,000 tons of coal while world output is 1,350,000,000 tons. We export about 18,000,000 tons, with 13,500,000 going to Canada and other regions, leaving under 6,000,000 to distant markets. Canada trade is near-border and not true export. England pays over 3 dollars to ship coal here yet sells along the eastern seaboard. The piece criticizes shipping troubles, public policy, and railroads tied to British and Japanese shipping, urging stronger enterprise and policy action. It laments political-business partnerships and rail trunk lines connected to Atlantic and Pacific trade and calls for reform.
The piece argues against a coal tariff as protection, noting Canada’s cheaper access via freight, West Virginia coal’s heat value, and that tariffs won’t alter coal quality. It recalls Woodrow Wilson’s shipping stance, criticizes generalities, and references a 1912–25 coal capacity study while questioning Senate rule changes linked to Hell-and-Maria Dawes.
