COAL AND THE DUTY OF THE WELL-TO-DO.

[To TUB EDITOR OF TUB "BrBoTATOR.yi Sia,—_It is to be hoped that the richer members of the com- munity will not hasten to fill their cellars at the earliest possible moment, and that every one will refrain from buying more coal than is absolutely necessary until the conditions are normal in order that the poor may obtain coal at a reason- able price. For the poor have suffered most by this " glorious war," and their need is the greatest.—I am, Sir, See.,

WILLIAM HOWARD.
