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 "the most monstrous inn
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
ernment OF Brazil and financed by it, which com-s
pels American consumers, as Mr. Webb said, Ito
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that the consume
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
30 further cnch them, has been made effective.
There we're formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people;
as taxing tho poor mans breakfast table, and the
like The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty uponI
coffee I'D 10 the full amount Of the former customs
taxes In this country The revenue which for
merly went into tho treasury Of tho United States
was diverted to the treasury Of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued 10 cost him the
same old price.
But this was only tho commencement. Tho
"valorization" 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 tho 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 tho
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, 70 compel American con:
sumers TO pay an exorbitant price for the coffee

EXIT HADLEY

Governor Hadley, having failed
completely in his efforts to be the
chief Poo-Bah and master of the des-
TIMES of the Bull Moosers in Missouri,
has been casting about in an effort to
get back into the ranks of the G. o.
P. regulars and at the same time, save
his face.
His latest attempt was made in St.
Louis some days since when he made
a proposition to the bosses that il
Mr.. Taft would declare himself in
favor of presidential preference pri-
maries" and ''fair southern represen-
tation in Republican conventions" He,
Mr.. Hadley, would endorse Taft and
Sherman, and everything in Missouri
would be lovely. Mr.. Hadley's i'm
pertinent offer was wired to Presi-
dent Taft and has been, of course,
ignored.
Evidently Mr.. Taft is thoroughly
familiar with Gov. Wobbly's' chief
characteristics, and believing that the
Governor cannot be trusted to stand
hitched, would regard any promises
he might make as Of little value.
Then, too, II the President has
been keeping his eye .on Missouri
politics, be y probably aware by this
