@ 0ffee Costs Too Much.

Congressman Longworth has been in
vestigating coffee and has discovered
some facts which are of general interest.
He has consulted the biggest coffee men
in the country and he finds out that the
average price of all coffee laid down in
New York is 81 cents a pound. Allow
ing for waste and shrinkage, it is claimed
that the warehouse price should be at the
most IoH cents. Then comes the roast
ing, in which a good deal of weight is
lost, but the consumer IN this country
pays from as to 40 cents pound for the
best coffee. There is no duty here,
although in Germany the duty is cents
a pound and the cost to the consumer is
81 cents. Whether roasted or not is not
specified.
Coffee drinking is national occupa-
ton with us. 1t is not an institution as
in some European countries, but most of
us like coffee for breakfast and after
dinner. 1t looks as if we were paying
too much. Some one is making an I'M
mense profit, and Mr.. Longworth has
not told us who that man is.
When YOU go to grocery YOU are
offered all sorts of brands at different
prices AS a fact, a great deal Of the
coffee that we consume comes from
Brazil and the various brands all grow on
the same tree. Each tree furnishes var
ious qualities, but it is said that better
expert than is usually found in this coun-
try to sort the beans, and it may be
that we get the same brands out of the
same bag
Coffee was put on the free list to make
the breakfast table cheaper. 1t is no
cheaper We certainly hope that Mr.
Longworth will go further with his re-
searches and let US know who is making
the inordinate profit between the inn
porter and the consumer.-bQnirer.

WHERE THE FLAG WAS RoRN.

The small two-story house still stand
ing at23o Arch street, below Third street,
Philadelphia, has an interesting history.
In it the first flag containing thirteen stars
and thirteen stripes, was made by Mrs.
John Ross. The design for the flag was
from a drawing made by George WASH
ington with pencil, and the flag thus de-
signed was adopted by resolution of
Congress on the 18th day of June, I777.
A committee of Congress, accompanied
by General Washington, afterward called
upon Mrs. Ross and engaged her to make
a flag from this design. The flag then
made is now known the world over as
the Star Spangled Banner of the United
States. There is a striking resemblance
between the design of our flag and the
arms of General Washington, and it is
believed by many that the American flag
was derived from this heraldic design

Sunday the Belmont Central Trades

it's time to the unqualified denunciation
of the labor record of Clarence e.
Watson, the democrat who is said 70
have given $4,000 to the Democrat
party of West Virginia during the
campaign, and who is now demanding
his pound of flesh in the shape OF
election to the United States. senate
from the state which he never enters
except to take money out OF 1t.
TIL. Ohio Valley Assembly decided to
submit questions to all candidates, and
Watson was included in the list, but
it is wrong impression If it IS bellev-
ed that affirmative answers from any
candidate mean an endorsement from
the Assembly. The record OF each
gentleman is to be collected and sub
mitted with the answers. and the dele
gates at the Ohio 5. Valley Assembly
meeting expressed Nthe opinion that
Watson could not utter enough "yes's'
in a hundred years to square his pro-
misses with his past record.
