1t was thought that peace
reigned in the Ohio camp, with
Taft and Foraker exhibiting pub
licly mutual cordiality. But,
behold, VIM. R. Hearst, in a re-
cent speech at Columbus read let
tiers stated to have been written by
Archbold, of Standard Oil fame,
to Senator Foraker referring to
Legislation pending in Congress
and mentioning the enclosure OF
two cheeks for $4,000 and $14, ooc
respectively. Quite properly Sen
ator Foraker has cancelled all en-
gagements for stumping in the in
terests OF his party. He and Arch.
bold both explain that the tran.
saction was regarding the Senator
services, before he entered the
Senate, as attorney for the Stand
ard Oil Co.

The past, present and future of cof-
fee was discussed in a Rio de Janeiro
publication recently, from which the
following statistics are taken:
Let us see what the elements are
that will go to form crops during the
next quadrennium, 1909-1912. and the
average annual crop that may be
looked for.
Since 1902 no more coffee trees have
been planted in Sac Paulo, and as it
takes four to six years for coffee to
bear. the only possible element of pro-
duction are the trees already in ex-
istenee, all or almost all of which are
in bearing at present The last trees
planted will be at their best and In
full bearing in the course of the cur
rent quadrennium, while the influence
of replanting exhausted areas. as well
as of the intensive cultivation lately
followed, will also reach it's climax dur
ing this period. Under such circum-
stances it seems reasonable TO suppose
that the annual average production
during the next four years, 1909-1s12,
will be the same SIS for the previous
quadrennium, plus 5 per cent increase
from freshly bearing trees, or. in all,
about 100000 bags per annum.
Twenty years ago consumption was
between 100000 and 100000 bags;
ten years later 1t had risen to 13.O00.-
900, and this year is generally esti=
mated at 17,25O.o0O bags.
At this rate. at the close of the cur
rent quadrennium in 1912. consump-
ton should reach $4,000. 600 bags, es-
pecially If the official propaganda
should be as effective as is expected.
The visible supply of the world on
June 80. 1908 will be about $4,000. 900
bags. Next years production is esti-
mated by the well informed Dutch
brokers as follows:
Brazil: Santos. $3.50, 600: Rio. $780,
900: Victoria, 10000; Bahia, 100000;
