Pennsylvania Coal and Nebraska Corn. —In his remark* on the inter-state commerce biil recently, in the U. 8. Senate, Mr. Van Wyck, of Nebraska, was most pointed. The State of Nebraska, in which, as Mr. Van Wyck said, it required 150 bushels of corn to buy one ton of hard coal, is not the only Western st ite or territory that suffers from such evils a* he portrayed; but it is, unfortunately, the only one of the far Western states which has a representative in the Senate who is opposed to the system which thus oppresses the people. Watered stock,{bogus bonds, combinations, an<| pools stand between the coal miner of Pennsylvania and the corn producer of Nebraska. The aoal miner wants the corn, and suffers from because he cannot get it. The farmer vtants the coal, and sometimes suffers 'because he cannot get it. The fact that the exchange cannot be made with profit to both is very conclusive proof that something is wrong.
