A Hold-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the CoRee Roastsrs' Association, in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there is in existence Q
coffee combine which g ''the most monstrous I'm
position in the history Of human commerce."
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There Is q 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, Is Mr.. Webb said, ITO
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this Il that the eonsum-
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 as an imposition upon the people;
rs taxing the poor mans breakfast table. and tho
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 of the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters to receive q
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 the purpose, to compel American con:
sumers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
they use What Is the remedy?-Sedtth Post-la-

Standard statistics Of the coffee trade
TWO yea q ON over two e' h ans n m sss
pounds. Authenticated reports from tho
Postum factories in this city show .
tremendous increase in the sale Of Postum
In like period of time.
While the sales of Postum invariably
show marked increase year over year, the
extraordinary demand for that we'll
known breakfast beverage during 1911 Is
very likely due to public awakening to
the oppression of the coffee trust.
Such an awakening naturally disposes
the multitude who suffer from the iii

often comes as result of the use Of

BRYAN AND MARTIN.
Refuses to Express Himself on Viz
ginia's Leader.

Richmond, Dec. 20.-While he talked
freely on many subjects while in
Richmond yesterday, William Jennings
Bryan, declined positively to express
himself on one topic which many peo-
ple wanted to hear him talk about-his
altitude toward leadership in the Uni
ted State: Senate by Senator Thomas
S. Martin, of Virginia. Asked the
question as to what he thought about
it, Mr.. Bryan replied promptly. y
will not discuss that matter at all.
No other word could be COTTON from
him on the subject.
1t wa: recalled that two years ago
MIR. Bryan's paper, the Commoner
opposed election Of Senator Martin
as chairman of the Democratic caucus,
and therefore as leader of the minor
itv on the floor. What he will say
when the time comes next April to
elect majority leader for the Demo-
Gratis, is locked within his own brea:t'
Nor would Mr.. Bryan discuss IN any
way the effect of the national election
on Virginia politics.

MOUNT VERNON AVENUE
Renewed Efforts Towards its Con
struction Being Made at This
Session 5f Congress

Mir. NJ. B. Harlow was at the Capt.
toll in Washington yesterday endeav-
oring to accelerate the passage by
Congress. of the bill to reimburse the
State of Virginia in the sum of Sl2o,-
900. the amount loaned the federal
government 10 aid in the construction
of public buildings the capital city
while George Washington was Presl-
dent of the United States.
MIR. Martin has introduced bill in
the Senate providing for the payment.
Of this claim, which il TO be used to-
wards the construction of magnltl-
cent boulevard from Washington to
Mount Vernon.
MIR. Harlow has worked assiduous!y
to- years towards the accomplishment
of this great dcsideratum, and there Is
ieason to believe thai. favorable action
on the bill will be taken at this session
OF Congress.
The construction of a magnificent
boulevard between Washington and
Mount Vernon was conceived by people
of this city many years ago, and tic
originators have rot allowed the grass
to grow under their feet, but have lab
ored assiduously at each session OF
Congress to interest the representa-
! tives of the people in a movement
which should appeal to those of all
SEQ ions of the country.
The Virginia Senators and Repre-
sentatives have ever manifested their
interest in the movement, and it is
hoped that the scheme will receive a
decided impetus before the adjourn
ment of the present. session.
The route Of the proposed avenue was
surveyed long time ago, the money
for this purpose having been appro
priated by Congress, but the more Vi
tai matters in connection with the con-
struG.ion of the boulevard have for
some reason, hung fire and the efforts
of those laboring towards the accom-
plishment of the plan have not so far
been crowned with success, although
they have every reason to believe tnat
their hopes will sooner or later he
realized.
