Rev G. II. Bright. pastor of the Meth
odist church of this place. preached
very able sermon Sunday evening to a
large audience Of attentive listeners.
His theme was The church ard the
Lodge" He treated the matter very
carefully and cautiously and while he
found some criticism with the lodges.
he fully demonstrated that the lodges
are doing a good work for humanity
and that they are Of material benefit to
the church. He admonished lodges to
- careful what kind of members they
take in and to try at all times to keep
the lodges clean and have none but
clean officers at the head of them. which
admonition was very good one. He
saw no reason why the lodge and the
church cannot work IN harmony with
each other for mutual good nd Of the
belief that they way for mutual good.
and was Of the belief that the way the
lodges are looking after their sick and
dead that they are doing work in the
way Of protection that the church can
not and does not 40. At all times he
held the church above the lodge. and
did not sanction the church being neg

a Hold-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas ]. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there IS in existence
coffee combine which IS ''the most mOnstrOus inn
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
il 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, 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,
to further cinch them, mas been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
al coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
we're denounced as an imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
ike. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee up to the fun amount Of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merry 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
'svalorization'' 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 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.0 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
ivelv for the purpose, to compel American con.
suners to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
thew use. What is the reaedy?-6eattls Post-Ih-
tsgigsRcsr-lF0g. 19. 1911.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-01-11

Standard statistics Of the coffee trade
show a falling of in sales during the last
two years Of over two hundred million
pounds. Authenticated reports from the
Postum factories in this city show a
tremendous increase in the sale Of Postum
in q 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 IN
effects Of coffee drinking to be more re-
ceptive to knowledge Of harm which so
often comes as a result Of the use Of
the drug-beverage, coffee.-BGttIs Creek
