A Hold-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday. Thomas J. Webb.
Of Chicago. charged that there Is in existence
coffee combine which Is "the most monstrous i'm
position in the history Of human commerce."
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement. 1t comes very close to being literally
true There is a coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk Of the coffee used
In the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent of Brazil and financed by it, which COM,
pels American consumers, ~ Mr.. Webb said, Ito
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that the eonsum.
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cnch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people;
a. taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon,
coffee up to the full amount Of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
mery went into the treasury Of the United States
vas diverted to the treasury of Brazil The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
Blu. this was only the commencement. The
s'valorzation' plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses takes all of the surplus crop in season OF
iarpe Yields and holds it of the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters to receive
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian eof-
fec than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers Of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from US Now Brazil il promoting, financing and
maintaining . trust designed and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con:
sumsrs to pay an exorbitant price Tor the coffee
they use. What is the remedy7-Ssatsls Po't-ln-
