OLD QUESTION REVIVED.

THE ACTION OF a BODY Of Congre-
gatiOnal ministers in Boston in
protesting against the acceptance by
the American board of foreign missions
of a gift OF $le0, 600 from John d. Rock
efeller, revives the old question as to
whether or not it is proper to accept and
use for worthy purposes money which
has been unworthily acquired. one min
ister is quoted as saying that until Mr.
Rockefeller reforms he should be re-
quired to keep his money
But would Mr.. RockefeIler's reforrna-
ton make the money he now possesses
honest money? It is honest. of course.
in the worlds view, Notwithstanding
the fact that it has been acquired by
ruthless methods of crushing competi-
ton and of compelling people to pay
dearly for one of the necessities of life.
The only valid objection TO accepting
money Of this sort is that those vino .ac-
cept it would seem ungrateruI if they
did not. tacitly at least, endorse the
methods by which it was acquired.
There is no intimation that in giving
the money for foreign missions Mr..
Rockefeller specified that it must be
used in spreading his kind Of gospeI
among the heather. He did not attach
to his gift a condition precedent to the
effect that some native must be taught
how to acquire a monopoly on glass
beads and cheap watches, to the end
that he might run the prices up to an
unreasonable figure. As we understand
it. the 100000 was to be used in dis
seminating religion of the pure and un-
defiled order. And the board that
spends the money is in no sense de-
barred from criticising Nj. Rockefeller
as it pleases. ....... ....
There are many cases in which it
would be clearly wrong 10 accept Cfona-
tons from the oil magnate. This. how
ever. is not one Of them. If his dollars
are unclean they are not more unclean
than many dollar that. has been put
To good uses. If foreign missions are
worth while at all Mr.. ROckefeiIer's
100000 will give them q big lift The
money will not do any harm as far as
we are able to reason it out.
If it were practicable to return the
Rockefeller millions to those from whom
they have been taken there might be
some reason i'm arguing that they should
not be put to good uses

TAX ON COFFEE.

T HERE Is TALK in hiSh govern
mcnt circles Of putting a tax on
coffee as means Of increasing the rev
euues. 1t is realized that within Il com
parativeIy short time there must be a
revision of the tariff While this re-
vision viii not materially reduce the
revenues, for the tariff reductions WHY
apply largely 90 articles in which, be
cause OF the tariff. there is no foreign
competition, still the Republican states
men realize the need for more money
il they are to continue their lavish ex-
peuditurez Of the peoples funds.
The great increase i'm the consump-
ton of coffee in the United States has
brought the berry prominently to the
front as possible revenue raiser A
bulletin issued by the government bu-
rcau OF statistics lately gives an idea
of the amount of coffee Americans
drink 1t is shown that in 1902. the year
covered by the bulletin. more than a
billion pounds of coffee were imported
into the United States.
This is a the rate of fourteen pounds
per capita. In 1860 tie per capita was
under six pounds In 1902 we paid SSS.-
100000, wholesale. for our coffee If the
retail prices could be given they would
show a very much greater total. The
wholesale rate given is less than Il
cents per pound. By the time the con-
sumner gets the coffee he pays an aver
age price of at least 20 cents a pound.
The figures give an idea of the profits
Garnered by the coffee importers. 1t is
interesting to know how many cups Of
coffee each man. woman and child
might have out OF the grand total
\ pound of coffee makes in the neigh
borhoud of forty strong cups of average
size This makes fifty billion cups. or
an average Of 100 cups for the entire
population. As a great many people do
not drink coffee at ali it will be seen
that those who do drink it drink a lot.
We have long since passed Germany IN
the coffee-drinking race. Time was
when the people of the FatherIand were
considered the greatest coffee drinkers
IN the world.
Their per capita today is less than
one-half that of the United States.

that Japan will insist on harsh terms
Russia has never paid war indemnity.
and Japan might not require one if she
is conceded freedom of operation in
Manchuria, permanent occupancy OF
Port Arthur and perhaps some other
concessions. The time has passed when
the victor in war is entitled TO sweep
up the last vestige of the crumbs Of
success.
japanese success in this war means
very much more than any question of
Indemnity At the breaking out Of the
struggle there We're very few who hon
estiy believed that Japan had even an
outside chance 10 win. It was conceded
that she might be successful at the out
set on the sea and in a few land bat
ties, but beyond that there were no
hopeful prophecies. The experts almost
unanimously declared that Russia
would eventually crush Japan by the
sheer weight of overwhelming numbers.
Now all these calculations have come
TO naught. The brown men are su-
preme in the Orient. They have meal
culably enhanced the prestige gained
in their war with China and must here
after be reckoned as one of the world
powers.
