Unjust Retaliation.

No one has rendered more val
liable service to the country in pro-
noting Friendly relations with the
southern republics of this hemi-
sphere than did Secretary Root when
secretary of state. The able New
York senator has now an opportunity
of greatly enhancing this valuable
service by exposing the crafty device
of the Aldrich bill for levying a
duty of cents a pound on nearly
the whole of the country's consump-
ton of coffee under cover of pun
ishing the republic of Brazil for ''un-
duly discriminating" against Ameri-
coffee. AS the senator knows full
well, nothing can be more false and
absurd than this pretense of undue
discrimination on the part of Brazil
when the same export duty is levied
on all its imports of coffee, no matter
who may be the cOsumer.
But the real object of this device
in the maximum and minimum pro
vision of the Aldrich tariff is to levy
a duty on coffee by cunning indirec
ton. The natural effect of the duty
on the berry of Brazil would be t.
enhance the cost of the entire Amer
lean consumption of coffee.

The Vanderbilt Residence.

The elder Vanderbilt is about to
build a house in New York which is
to cost 100000 for the bare walls.
floors. and roof, and he has already
expended all of the gray matter in
his brain in devising something en-
tirely new. The house is steel
frame of 10 floors, two below the
Street and eight above. 1t is to en-
brace three city lots, IS feet front
Sand 105 deep. The sub-basement is
to be used as an engine room and
store room. The upper basement will
contain the kitchen and garage. Au-
tos will go down to the garage by an
incline from the porte cochere of the
house, which is lined with white
glazed thing.
On the first floor the plans call
for great entrance hall, and ellipti-
cal billiard room 40 feet long and
off that another room which looks
very much as if it were to be fitted
with refrigerator and bar. All sorts
of cubby holes and coy corners are
called for in the plans. The build
ing department says that no stranger
designs ever were registered in this
city. The floor above has a tremen-
dous reception room and the dining
room is exactly the shape of the bill
lard room.
On another floor is a complete
Russian or Turkish bath plant. There
are all sizes of bed rooms, all con-
nected with bath rooms. There are
three elevator shafts. One is to con-
tain an elevator for freight, another
for servants and the third a large
passenger elevator. 1t will be so ar
ranged that patrons of the bath es-

amined witnesses for tariff data the
doors of the committee room were lock-
ed to the public, newspaper men, and
even democratic members of the COM
mittee
Testimony developed at the "star
chamber" sessions was suppressed.
Some OF the data in possession of the
committee, which was obviously ignor-
ed today leaked out 1t shows that
the cost of commodities on which there
was no duty at all, or only a moderate
duty, decreased in the last Is years.
while the cost of commodities on which
high duties were levied was almost
doubled to the consumer.
For instance, in 1907 the domestic
refined sugar was $4.35 per hundred
