BRAZIL TRADE
SUBJECT OF REPORT FROM con-
SUI N RIO JANEII,O.
Asserts That Cheapncss Of European
Freight Rates initiates Against
Out Interest There.

Washington. Aug s.-"Buncoed
out OF the rich trade Of Brazil" Is
in effect. the burden Of a wall from
Consul General Anderson in far away
Rio Janeiro. Mr.. Anderson HTS up
his voice. or rather airs his com
plant I'm a report to the department
OF commerce and labor. II would APP
pear that the United states Is losing
out In a rich market because freight
rates on American products are so
high that other commercial nations
can cross the seas with their goods
and laugh competition to scorn. Mr..
Anderson says:
In the matter Of rates, there has
been almost interminable discussion.
It has been claimed by some ship
ping people that rates from Europe
to Brazil are higher than rates from
the United States to Brazil. The gem
eral impression has been the other
way. Rates are dimcult to get al, for
the published rates are not always
the rates actually charged. Then, too,
.ln the Brazilian trade the evil effects
.of the conference arrangement and
the system Of giving rebates on
freight shipments are felt. That rates
will average higher from the United
States TO Brazil than from any Eu-
ropean country 10 Brazil IS demon
strated IN the fact that the average
percentage Of freight expenses to
cost of articles imported into Brazil
from the United States for several
years has been higher than from any
other commercial nation. The official
returns in Brazil for 19O5-the last
year for which figures are now avail
able show that the percentage or
freight. etc. to cost Of goods from
the United States was 1902; from
Great Britain 1876; from France.
1858; from Germany, 1921; from
Austria, 1915; from Belgium, 49,
SAB. The average cost TO American
products, therefore. is higher than
that from any OF the general Compel
ing states. The rates from Brazil to
line United States seem to be much
more reasonable, although consider
ing the amount and nature Of the
freight moved, the rates can hardly
be said to he cheap"

Facts and Figures in Standard Oil
Case and Judge Lands Solar Plexus

In the course of his opinion in the
Standard Oil case, Judge Lands de-
livered the following blows:
The man who thus deliberately
violates the law wounds society more
deeply than does he who counter
feits the coin or steals letters from
the mail.
The only way for them (rivals OF
the standard Oil company to stay in
the oil business would be for them
to adopt the practice of this defend
ant and procure the great public pow
er OF railway companies TO be secret
ly perverted in their interest Under
no other possible theory could they
hope to survive.
1t IS the substance of the thing,
and not the mere form, with which
the law is concerned The defendant
here is in precisely the same position
It would occupy If 1t had paid the Al
ton company at the unlawful rate
each time ear was shipped.
Waving the question of the stud
led insolence of this language (re-
garding the "mob"), in so far as 1t
may be aimed at the present occu-
pant of the bench, the court can. OF
course, only leave to the discretion of
the Standard Oil company the wis
dom and propriety of a 500 900, 600
corporation gratuitously inaugural
ing agitation about the ''mob."
The court is not impressed by the
doleful predictions of counsel for the
defense as to the hardships upon the
honest shipping public to be antici-
pafed from the enforcement Of this
rule. The honest man who tenders
a commodity for transportation by a
railway company will not be fraudu-
lently misled by that company into
allowing it to haul his property fol-
less than the law authorizes it to col
lect

such a commercial policy necessarily

dinate officers or employees. even look
ing to the time when testimony will
be required for the protection of the
revenues of the offender for the ex-
actions of the law for its violation.
. Under the doctrine insisted upon
by the defendant the railway company
might give the Standard Oil company
a low transportation rate and by con-
tract obligate itself to withhold the
same rate from the very man the TAX
ing of whose property by condemna-
tion rendered possible the construc-
tion of the road. A more abhorrent
heresy could not be conceived.
IF the defendants position that its
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-08-05

offense was wholly technical; that no.
body has been injured because there
was no other shipper of oil. and that,
therefore, the punishment, If any,
should be a modest fine. 1t is novel,
indeed. for a convicted defendant to
urge the complete triumph of a dis
honest course as a reason why such
course should go unpublished.
The nominal defendant is the stan
dard OIL company of Indiana, a mil
lion dollar corporation. The Stand
ard oil company of New Jersey,
whose capital is 500. 900. 900, is the
real defendant.
When the only possible motive of
the crime IS the enhancement of div
idends. and the only punishment au-
thorized is a fine, great caution must
be exercised by the court lest the fix
ing of a small amount encourage the
defendant to future violations by es-
teeming the penalty to be in the nat
ure of a license.
For the law &c take from one OF
its corporate creatures as a penalty
for the commission of a dividend pro-
dueing crime less than one-third OF
its net revenues accrued during the
period of violation falls far short OF
the imposition of an excessive fine
and surely to do this would not be
the exercise of as much real power
as is employed when sentence is i'm
posed taking from a human being
one day of his liberty.
This court is obliged to confess
that it is unable to indulge the pre-
sumption that in this case the defend
ant was convicted of it's virgin Of

Legal Meaning Of Solid Gold.

The term solid gold" has been the
cause of much discussion on the part
OF manufacturers of gold articles and
of much misrepresentation on the part
of the public for some time past, and
the recent law fixing the commercial
definition of the phrase is welcomed
on all sides. According to this law,
1O-earat gold is the commercial
"solid gold" and all articles contain
ing more alloy than this. or all ar
ticles with parts which contain more
alloy. are henceforth to be known as
plated, gold-flled or rolled gold, and
must be so marked by the manufac
turer. For example, pin with top
of solid" gold, even to the value OF
Is carats, can not legally be called
solid II hinge, hook or pin is not 10
carat gold: while another pin of 10
carats throughout, though OF much
less intrinsic value than that OF Is
carats. is legally "solid gold" This
law was made TO protect the manu-
