SEES NO HELP IN COFFEE TARIFF

Editor Advertiser: Should the Con-
gress adopt the recommendations of the
Ways and Means Committee on the
tariff revision, as it relates to coffee,
and impose an import duty on coffee
equal to the export tax charged at place
of shipment, it will not benefit growers
here to any great extent; and may
result in even lower prices. The gov
eminent of Brazil does not impose an
export tax on coffee, but the State of
Sac Paulo, the largest coffee producing
state in that country, collects an ex-
port tax of $1.042 per bag on all coffee
exported-equal to four-ffths of a
cent per pound. Of the total coffee
imported into the Tilted States for the
year 1907-S (Which amounted to T.
049,595 bags, Brazil supplied $40, 1874
bags, or nearly threefourths of it. Will
the collection of this duty on coffee
entering the United States from Brazil
bring about the repeal of the law i'm
posing an export tax at place of ship
ment, which is probably the object of
the dutya If it does, then will not
coffee be cheaper in the States? And
if it should not have that effect, will
not the American people have to pay
the import tax of four ffths cent per
pound9 In such case. our growers
will receive a little benefit, but not to
| the full extent of four ffths of a cent
per pound. Just what countries other
| than Brazil collect an export tax, and
| how much. I have no data, but as such
a large part of the whole amount of
! coffee consumed in the States comes
! from Brazil, it will make little differ
| ence.
With the meager information to
| hand. it is difficult TO now say just
what benefits we will get from the
proposed law. But it looks small.
| There is still hope, however, that Con-
gress may find it necessary to put a
| duty on ali coffee imported for the
purposes of revenue.

was adopted by the Senate and passing
the new enabling act on second read
ing, was in full as follows:
"Your committee to whom was re-
ferred House Bill No. 140 in reference

Like favored the deferring because
he too had a bill specifying the pay
of the city roadmen at $500 day, an
amount to which he thought the labor
ers entitled.
Sheldon wanted to know how much
oftener the bill was to come up and be
pulled down. He thought the time now
had come to either pass or kill 1t.
Castro opposed the form of the bill
and also the intent, as an eneroach-
ment on the power of the counties to
fix the pay of the laborers. He thought
the county supervisors could be de-
pended upon to pay fair wage ac-
cording to the financial condition of the
particular county. He asked for rul-
ing of the chair on the form of the
bill.
Nakaleka thought the bill had been
deferred long enough and asked that
it be read a third time so that he could
move that it pass.
The Speaker referred Castro's re-
quest for ruling ON the form of the
/ bill TO the chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, who overruled Castro.
Moanauh said he feared some of the
members could not vote inteligently
upon the bill, but gave no reason why
he confined his opinion as to the hml-
tations of the members to the partlcu-
lar bill being debated. He acknowl-
edged that he was one of the ones
whose minds need clarifying upon this
particular subject. He renewed his re-
quest for a postponement of the vote
until Wednesday.
HE uotinn IN defer was lost.
Kama said he had an amendment to
offer, this being to the effect that Ho-
nolulu laborers would receive not less
than $500 a day and those outside
would get not less than $3.50 a day.
Alfonso offered an amendment to the
amendment that the laborers at Hllo
receive not less than 1915 day. Dou-
thitt seconded his amendment. Kaniho
moved this last amendment be indef-
initely postponed, and there was anoth-
er motion to table. It was tabled.
Alfonso moved to table Kama s.
amendment. It also was tabled.
Alfonso moved the indefinite post
ponement of the bill, Sheldon moving
its third reading.
Kamahu favored the bill as providing
a limit to the Federal government as
to what q laborers' pay should be.
Now the laborers on the fortifcation
works were getting from $1.25 to $1.75
a day. On the Hilo breakwater, very
low wages are being paid. I.aborers
ought to receive good pay no matter
who they were working for. He tossed
a bait to the Kauai members by telling
them that the Federal government
would probably want to build fort
there before long. For the benefit of
all laborers he wished to offer an
amendment, this being to put the fig.
ure back to So.
AS this was the same as Kama g
tabled amendment, the Democratic 81
was ruled out.
After another half hours debate in
which nothing new was brought out,
motion to make the minimum limit ap-
ply only to territorial work was made
and carried, and in this much abridged
shape the bill finally passed.

CALLED UNDESIRABLE BAPTIST
Recent Book Is Under Fire at Chicago
Meeting Action in Case Is
Postponed.

Foster, whose writings denounced as
"a bitter Indictment of the Christian
religions before the bar of skepti-
cism" have narrowed the clergy of
Chicago, was yesterday called upon by
Rev. Johnston Meyers, pastor of the
Emmanuel Baptist church, to with
draw from the Baptist ministry. The
fire of criticism was directed chiefly
at Prof. Fosters book, THE Function
of Religion" The motion requesting
Prof. Fosters withdrawal was put be-
fore several hundred preachers and
church laymen gathered at the con-
ference of the Baptist executive coun-
Gil, with the objection of only one
man, Prof. A. X. Parker, who, like
Prof. Foster, is an instructor at the
University of Chicago. Prof. Parker
prevented action by calling attention
to a constitutional provision prevent
ing action without deliberation. The
matter was accordingly postponed I'M
til June H.
II want to say now that I'll be here
next Monday morning to present the
same notion cried DR.. Meyers, de-
family.
Called undesirable Baptist"
1t was after Prof Foster had been
characterized as IAN undesirable Bap-
fist" and as a teacher who would de-
throne the church and defy evolu-
tion," that the effort to eject him from
the councils of the denomination was
made.
Il want to say at the outset" said
Rev. Mr. Mathews, that as a scholar
l have the highest respect for Prof
Foster. | was a pupil of his first class
of doctrinal apologetics. AS a teacher
and as a gentleman l hold him in high
regard. But in religion | regard Prof
Foster as an undesirable Baptist.
Prof Foster states in his book that
God did not make man in his own i'm
age, but that man made God in his
own image. He says we are not fallen
angels, but developed animals.
TRADE Against Clergy.
"He declares that science has I'M
dermined the Trinity-of course, that
is in his own mind. He says that Jesus
was a child of his time and that to
copy Jesus is to kill the soul. He
makes a TRADE against the clergy. He
says that the book of humanity is
greater than the Bible

pei Prof Foster there we're cries OF
