An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses-
sion at Chicago Thursday, Thomas j. Webb,
of Chicago, charged that there is in existence a
coffee combine which IS '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 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, 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, 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;
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
'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 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 the purpose, to compel American con-
sumers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
thew use. What is the remedy?-SSattIe P0st-IH-

Standard statistics of the coffee trade
show falling off 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 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

effects of coffee drinking to be more re-

for dainties to use on particular oc-

representatives of privilege in finance
and politics control most of the news
papers. SO that the ordinary man finds
the channels of information choked.
do not SO much mind the editoria
columns being closed against us, but
it is matter of real regret that the
news columns are closed to us.
There is good reason why many
men should, bitterly oppose the Pro
grossly partyl Every political jobber
eyfy crooked bussippess man, every
beneficiary of privilege and every pa1o
employee of such beneficiary hall these
are naturally against us.
II hold, however, that every self. re
specting, ordinary citizen should be
for US. The men for whom we are
making the fight are not politicians
and are not men of great wealth. They
are busily engaged in their daily toll;
they dc not appear as speakers at
public meetings; they do not take
prominent parts in political canvasses,
and they cannot contribute large
sums CT money for the furtherance of
the campaign on their behalf.
81 believe, though, that their feel
ings are all the more intense and their
sympathy the more keen just because
of the fact that hitherto they never
have been stirred as now they are
stirred.

tionary congressman from Kansas,

by politicians as only entitled to pay
the price of admission and sit on the
bleachers and watch the politicians
play the game for their own benefit.
Under this congressman's views,
the plain people have nothing to do
except to pay the expenses of the con-
test which the rulers wage for their
own benefit.
To Be Own Master.
1.-THE Progressive doctrine, on the
contrary, is that the plain people of
America are not after this, to sit on
the bleachers, and look on as the poll
ticians play the game; that the plain
people are to be their own masters
and masters over all their public serv-
ants.
1--WE stand for protective tariff, but
we wish to see the benefits of the pro-
tective tariff get into the pay envelope
of the wage worker. Instead of de-
creasing we wish to increase the
amount of the prize money that is
rightfuIly due those who work hard in
industry, but we stand for a more
equitable division of the prize money
Moreover, our movement is not on
ly for economic but for ethical better
ment. We do not accept the view that
greed and selfishness are the only
factors to be considered in govern
ment."

Not They Who Scar.

Not they who soar. but they who picd
Their rugged way unhelped to God.
Are heroes. They who higher fare
And. flying. fan the upper air
Miss all the toll that hugs the sod.
It's they whose backs have felt the rod.
Whose feet have pressed the path unshod.
May smile upon defeated care.
Not they who soar.
High up there are no thorns to prod
Nor powders lurking meath the clod
To turn the keenness of the share.
For flight is ever free and rare.
But heroes they the soil who've trod.
Not they who soar.
