the strength of two arguments: That by

be lending it's assistance to a gigantic
combination of few spectators who pro-
pose to rush in 13OOO,OcO bags of Brazil
ian valorized coffee, and flood the mar
kets before the law goes into effect, and
that a tax on coffee would be oppressive

said that it was a material impossibility

attributed to them and that the threat

rushed into this country to avoid the pay
ment of duties under the countervailinS
| clause of the Payne bill was entirely an
