The only department IN which the
Red Sog show superiority over the

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 a
coffee combine which is ''thc 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 coffee combine in Brazil from
which country comes the bulk of the coffee used
in the United States, which is backed by the gov
ernment of Brazil and financed by it, which COM.
pels American consumers, Mr.. Webb said, ''to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists
The worst thing about this is that the consum-
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced imposition upon the people:
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty uponi
coffee UP to the full amount Of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
r1ersy went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of Brazil The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement The
-valorization'' plan was evolved in Brazil.
IS Ahrough 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
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers Of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from US. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect
lively for tho purpose, to compel American con-.
aumers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
they use. What is the remsdy?-SedAle Post-In.

HEIR TO EARLDOM WON'T

Countess Craven, has developed the
spirit of revolt early in life. He re-
fuses to stay at Elton, as a protest
against the tagging" system h a
obtains there, and demands a school
conducted on different lines.
He could not see why he should car
nv Goals and run messages for senior
pupils, no matter of what social m
inence or smholarly accomplishments.
His other, who was Miss Cordfelia
Bradley Martin before her marriage,
is beside herself with Indignation at
the action of her son, who will forfeit
she fears, a considerable share of So
cial prestige through his conduct.
His father, on thine other hand,
supports the boys views, seeing in
them indicatins of a desirable spirit
of manliness and independence.
The earl himself was never a snob
and always encouraged the propen-
sity in anyone with whom he came in
contact. He always preferred coun-
try to town life, and in this direction
his son takes after him.
