It is a mistake to think we must go
back a thousand years or more for
genuine poetic inspiration or that the
poet Of today must necessarily conf1ne

worked to create their lasting vogue.

A H0ld-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

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 q
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 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, as Mr.. Webb said, 'tto
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists
The worst thing about this is that the consun-
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 an 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 upon
coffee up to the full amount of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly 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
ssvalorization'' 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
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
iyely for the purpose, to compel American con:
sumers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
thew use. What is the remedy?-Seattle Post-In-
