The Drift of Things Industrial.
John MeGovern in Chicago Current.

Twenty or thirty years ago, John Stuart
Mill, who for the time monopolized all that
was known of the scientific humdrum of
life, wrote tartly of American mothers that
it was unquestionably their task in life to
breed dollar-getters. Well, that generation
of dollar getters was born, and has thrived.
Millionaires are thicker to-day than first
violinists, than good portrait painters—than
gentlemen!

But this cheerful proceedure of grabbing
all known things, of looking with cold eye
on whole streets full of needy, has had its
effect. All things whatsoever are causes of
other things. It has been possible for greedy
men to grasp dollars all their days, die, and
repose under monuments that hide the
graves of good men. Yet it is indicative of
the inner goodness of men that the outrages
which have been committed upon liberty,
justice, conscience, and generous instincts,
have been shifted from the shoulders of ac-
tive personalities—of real men—to the noth-
ingnesses called corporations. If Nero fid-
dled as Rome burned, that was bad in the
long run for Nero, the man. But if a cor-
poration fiddled while Pittsburg burned, the
wretches within the corporation escaped the
goad of history. In fact, I believe, the man
who was the moying spirit of that particu-
lar corporation afterward passed out of the
flesh amidst almost nniversal grief, so blind
had been the people to the part he had play-
ed by means of the modern device for creat-
ing abstract monsters.

So the men may have evaded responsibil-
ity, and the corporations may have grasped
so far without letting go, but, after all, the
Cause has not purged itself of all Effect.
The Effaot has been, primarly, popular hat-
red—that is, the people have become stern.
They perforce became stoical through satis-
faction of the diligent demands of the cor-
porations. And sternness is a corollary of
stoicism.

Behold now the issue, or the easy fore-
easte of the issue: There has grown up
against the power of the corporations anoth-
er power, so terrifying in its possible
strength but blind direction, that we find
corporations crying out in appeal to moral
sensibilities which one would suppose had
ceased to count for anything in this nation.
It is wrong! It iswicked! It is brutal, un-
American! So do the corporations adjure
the spirit of unpitying Organized Labor.
But the wielders of the new and_ brutal
power reply with the words they have learn-
ed out of their former masters’{mouths, that
“Business is business!” ‘Truly, the modern
millennium has not come. Wrong, indeed,
brutal, it may be, but the times are past the
adjudication of that question. The point
now is, Does powerful Organized Labor ex-
ist? Will it increase in power or will it dis-
integrate? What willit do if it increase?

Let us seat ourselves in this monthly
meeting of a single trade union’of a Western
city. There are twelve hundred members
on the rolls. Two hundred are present.
These twelve hundred men control all the
principal establishments of their craft in the
city. Itis arazorish gathering—keen, apt,
witty, and if one may say it, rather unchar-
itable, cynical; held together by but one
thought, hope of higher pay and fewer hours
of labor.

Some twenty matters of business are read
by the financial member. As he reads them
the President decides what shall be done, no
objection being heard. It is so ordered.
The financial member reports on the stand-
ing of fifteen workmen who are in the ante-
room, applicants for membership. Twelve
of them are led in. The President reads to
them the obligation to carry out the ideas of
organized labor. They repeat his words—a
rather odd ceremony—useless, because the
applicants are already zealous with hatred
of capital. The dozen take seats and are
henceforth Union men. A member rises
and states that there is in the ante-room a
delegate from the Knights of Labor, who
craves permission to speak ten minutes.
Matters of the dearest import to the mem-
bers are dropped. The delegate appears.
Let us hear him tell of the state of things
in that same Pittsburg, where the corpora-
tion fiddled while the city burned—where
the valiant militia General one day assured
his friends, the strikers, that he should kill
them with enormous regret, and the next day
was the scarcest man in the universe. There
was a mighty Cause therein1877. Let us
behold the Effect in 1885:

It is up-hill work for the delegate. Heis
a moulder, so he says. At the start he could
mould sand easier than speech. But he has
something to tell a body of capital-haters
who are exceedingly willing to hear. Ah!
what an aid is that to rhetoric!

“My friends,” says he, ‘‘I have come to
urge upon you the power we fellers have if
we'll only hang together. Ye all know what
a printer is, and ye all know how, when he
struck, in the past he didn’t git thar.
[Laughter.] He walked out and gave the
fat to the rats. Now let me tell ye how we
do the thing nowadays in Allegheny county,
where we are thoroughly organized. There
were twenty-two cases in a daily office there,
and what chance has a little bunch of twen-
ty-two printers against a big daily paper?

- ‘ { z

Now I'll tell ye what chance they had. The
father of this chapel, he gets a telegram
from Cincinnati, sayin’ that twenty-two rats
with a foreman had left for Pittsburg, pro-
bably to rat this particular office. The fath-
er goes down to the counting-room. He
asks about it. Yes, the proprietors say
courteously, they have concluded to run
their own business. They will not be dic-
tated to by their hired men. So the train
comes in, and there are so many admirers
of those rats at the depot that nothing will
do but they must have hacks—the first time
these fine gentlemen had ever been in a
hack, you may be sure. Up they comes to
the leading hotel. Nothing is too good for
rats! But the organized labor of the great
county of Allegheny hadn’t been asleep, me
brothers, no sir-ree! [Great applause.| The
proprietor of that hotel, he didn’t stay be-
hind his counter. He was out on the eurb-
stone. Hesays: ‘Myhotelisfull. I can’t
entertain these fine gentlemen from Cincin-
nati.’ Then they went to the other hotels,
but it was all the same. Next they tried the
boarding houses. They tried the respectable
ones and some that wasn’t respectable [pro-
longed merriment] but nowhere could they
be accommodated. So, my brothers, the
proprietors of that daily paper saw it was
no use, and they took the rats home to their
own houses. Of course the paper came out
all right. But when the man who goes for
the mail got to the Post Office, which is only
a block away, he found that he’d have to go
back and get a wagon. For the Knights of
Labor had sent a blank postal-ecard to every
patron of the paper in the county. If he
didn’t send in his resignation to that daily,
he’d get the b’yeott, and, me brothers, they
don’t want any of that in Pittsburg!
[Cheers.]| Advertisers with contracts con-
ditioned on a b’ycott stopped their ads. Ad-
vertisers with other contracts served notice
that they would sue for damages unless
their ads were dropped. Three thousand
postal cards were sent in withdrawing pat-
ronage. It was a cold day for that rat office.
Why was that, me brothers? Because every
Knight of Labor, every trades assembly man,
every organized craftmanin Allegheny coun-
ty was a printer for that week, or until that
thing was settled! [Great applause.] Well,
this thing lasted nine days. And youought
to have seen that paper! It was the purtiest
magazine you ever read! There was more
stories than you could count. [Increased
laughter.| There wasn’t an ad in it. It
was all reading matter. At the ninth day
the bosses sent for the old father of the
chapel, but he eouldn’t take the b’ycott off.
But he went and got the committee, and I
happened to be on that committee. You
never see a more smilin’ lot than them
bosses. You wouldn’t have thought they’d
lost all their business—been twisted right
up? There was champagne, and there were
cigars, but you know, me brothers, that prin-
ters never drink nor smoke, and it’s the
same way with the moulders! Says the
bosses: ‘Gentlemen, we surrender. What
is your penalty? And can you help us to
restore our business?’ We says. ‘Gentle-
men, there is no penalty, and when you
have done the right thing, we'll all work as
hard for ye as we have worked agin’ ye.
Ye must pay the fare of them rats back to
Cincinnati—that’s all? [Cheers.] And so
they did. And they signed this and that
document which I care nothing about. But
that’s, the way, me brothers, that twenty-
two printers got protected down in Alle-
gheny county.”

So the orator retires, begging his hearers
to join the Knights of Labor and fetch about
in a great Western city that superb, re-
morseless power which Labor wields in
Pittsburg. The Union thanks him for his
eloquent address, believes every syllable of
it, and the evangelist hurriedly departs to
repeat his address at some other meeting.

The meeting proceeds with its hundreds
of important affairs. Rates are fixed; minor
rights are determined; perplexities are un-
tangled. ‘Then comes the head of ‘‘New
business.” The fumes of tobacco now fill
the room. The light grows dim. The jan-
itor begins lighting the gas.

Then, asthe assembly wearies of its hard
afternoon’s work—after it has voted money
to sick members, a difficult thing to carry
through a body of men, after it has de-
nounced international copyright, after mo-
tions to adjourn had begun to secure sec-
onds, and petitions to withdraw have begun
to threaten the existing quorum—then, a
resolution is brought forward that it is the
sense of this Union that its members should
join the Knights of Labor, in order that
“bad men” may be kept out of the Knights
of Labor (for the reader must know that the
Knights of Labor exclude whole classes of
citizens, lawyers for instance, saloon-keep-
ers for example.)

Now comes the rub. Have not the twelve
apprentices just sworn in to join no ‘‘Broth-
erhood” that shall swamp the Union? 'Then
how can this sovereign body advise its
members to join the Knights, however great
may be the grasp of power thereby gained?
An indignant member rises and declares
that wlien he was at Pittsburg he ‘‘found a
printer’s working-card;was no good there—a
man must be a Knight of Labor.” Such a
thing grinds your independent Union printer.

 

itable. The resolution passes with only a}
dozen bitter nays, and the members adjourn |
in bad humor. This then, I think, is the |
drift of industrial things. The problem |
that confronted sovereign States in 1861 now
comes up for solution in well-disciplined |
sovereign Unions, with from 15,000 to 100,- |
000 members. It will not be easy for those
independent bodies to surrender, even to a|
friendly power, the inestimable liberties
they have enjoyed.

Yet, notwithstanding, here, before the
Pharoh of Organized Capital, the sorcerers
of Organized Labor have come, and though
all the sorcerers have been able to turn their
rods into serpents, the serpent of Aaron, the
Knight of Labor, is swallowing all the oth-
ers.

The era of the Organization of Labor,
welcomed and christened by Louis Blane,
is past. The days of separate Unions are
no more. In the impending break-up there
is a possibility of entire disintegration.

But there is also a probability of the en-
tire Reorganization of Labor, and it does
not demand much imagination to conjure its
potentiality.

It is not beyond reason to consider the ap-
proach of an epoch when there shall be no
strikes. The victims of any grievance
whatever will simply accept whatever it may
be their employers’ desire to give. Work
will continue. However, the general boy-
cott will operate with no less deadly effect,
and the grievance of the victims will have
an adjudication that no mere strike could
bring about. There may be lock-outs, with
all the odium attaching to them—but no
strikes. Thetime 1s already ripe for this
in Pittsburg.

The Genie of Toil is arising out of the
bottle of corporate capital.

How to Mark Goods.

One of the most preplexing things a mer-
chant has to deal with is marking goods.
Many short ways of getting a percentage of
profit have been devised, some of them good
and others not so good. <A few of the most
expeditious and more convenient of these
rules may be given.

Suppose an article is bought by the dozen
and the merchant wants to make 20 per
eent., all he has to do is to remove the deci-
mal point one place to the left. Suppose
brooms are $2.50 a dozen; then 25 cents each
is the cost with 20 per cent. added. To}
make 25 per cent. remove the point one
place to the left and add 1-24.

To make 30 per cent. add 1-12 itself.
+ 334 1-9 ‘

35 6

40 1-
44 1-é
50 mee
“US 1g
80 '

Always remove the decimal point one
place to the left before making the additions
and the sum will be the selling price of
the single article.

In ealeulating the per cent. on a single ar-
ticle if you wish to make

10 per cent., divide by 10, multiply by 11

20 “* by 10, by 12

25 multiply by 10, divide by: 8
30 _ divide by 10, multiply by 13
CU add 14 of itself.

Boycotting an Old Device.

Professor Arthur T’. Hadley writes: ‘‘The
importance of boycotting is new and the
name is new, but the practice itself, even on
a large seale, is no new thing. The anti-
slavery men were systematically boycotted
by the slaveholders. The British tea traders
were most actively boycotted by our fore-
fathers just before the outbreak of the rev-
olutionary war. The Jews have been boy-
cotted in various parts of the world, off and
on, for nearly two thousand years. Every
conuunity where there is any such thing as
publie opinion, from a nation down to a
boy’s school, has possessed the power of
boycotting and has occasionally used it.
What is it that has avithin five years trans-
formed an old and commonplace practice in-

To Hardwood Manufacturers.
Correspondence Ohio Lumber Journal.

It is doubtful whether there is another
branch of business where so many men in-
vest money and time without experience or
knowledge of their undertaking as in the
manufacture and marketing of hardwood
lumber. Is it any wonder then that there
are complaints from this class that their bus-
iness is not profitable? Is it a wonder
that more of this class, with a keen compe-
tition on all sides, and without a thorough
knowledge of the themselves,
should fail? A person engaging in any bus-
iness should have some experience or know-
ledge in the line of his adventure, and with-
out this he must either pay for the exper-
ience before he can be successful or fail in
the attempt.

Parties frequently sell
first-class lumber when there is but little
No. t init. This oftentimes is done inno-
cently, but what excuse is there for a man
who repeats such operations when there are
ample opportunities for him to learn the
grades so that he ean offer intelligently the
lumber he has for sale.

The manufacturer should be judicious in
his marketing. There are persons in all
markets who will offer big prices; but be-
ware of such, for rest assured they will get
the lumber cheap enough in the end. ‘They
are unscrupulous persons who will not grade
in measure in the
would do. Again, there are parties who
will offer fair prices for clear ot No. 1, and
put the seconds in with the commons at low

not

business

their stock for

or reliable dealers

as

prices. Wedo not censure such parties if
they can buy in that way, but the seller does
not get the value of his lumber.

On the other side, the manufacturer ships
lumber which has been poorly manufactured
and not properly cared for, and expects re-
turns for all good lumber. When he re-
ceives the report he is surprised and thinks
there is something wrong. Let him
himself so that he will know whether he is
right or wrong.

Every manufacturer should seleet the tim-
ber, eut the logs inio desirable lengths,—12,
14 or 16 feet, unless otherwise specified—
then cut the full thickness with
square edges and ends. Take the heart
boards to the edging saw or earriage and
cut out the hearts, and boards with rotten
or shaky ends should be cut off if ten or
twelve feet
are knotty or otherwise defective at one
edge and 6, 8 or 10 inches—owing to the
kind—on the other are good, should be rip-

ped.

After the sawing is the lumber
should be carefully piled on narrow sticks,
placed even with or over the ends, and each
stick directly over the one below it. This
will prevent staining and warping. <A good
cover should be placed over the pile to pre-
vent the sun and rain damaging the lumber.
This done the lumber is in good shape for
market, and the manufacturer can sell lum-
ber which will prove highly satisfactory in
every case on both sides.

One of the largest hardwood manufactur-
ing firms in Indiana informs us that their
entire cut of last year averaged over 65 per
cent. of firsts and while a few
years ago with timber equally as good, it
was below 50 per cent. Each man employ-
ed by this firm is paid a fair price for firsts
and seconds they produce and one-half that
price for the commons and culls. Let the
manufacturer learn his business thoroughly
and there will be as little complaint made
in this as in any other branch of business.”

The value of the hardware produced in
the United States per annum at the present
time is over $60,000,000, and half of it is
made in Connecticut. ‘This total of 360,000,-
000 does not include a large nnmber of arti-
eles like fire-arms, agricultural implements,
ete., which are often sold by hardware
dealers. Neither does it include cut nails,
ornamental iron work and a great variety of
other articles, which would swell the total
far above $100,000,000 per annum. The
trade in cutlery and edge tools is often
classed as a separate interest, distinet from
the hardware trade. The amount of these

about $15,000,000 per annum, but is inelud-

; Curious Orders.
From the Colonial Druggist.

The competition which we instituted re-
cently by offering a prize for the best collec-
tion of original orders, brought somany cur-
ious specimens that we think we may con-
tribute both to the amusement and instruc-
tion of our readers by producing a few of
the most striking. A perusual of the col-
lections compiled by Carpenter and Griffith,
who were successful in our competition,
would strike dismay in the minds of those
who are advocates of phonetic spelling, and
would serve as excellent training for those
students who dread the ordeal of reading

autograph prescriptions at Bloomsbury
Square. Not only are many of these orders

difficult to decipher, but when they are read,
it will often require no small amount of in-
genuity to discover what may be the article
named. ,

In the collection of Mr. Carpenter, of
Bristol, we find acetic acid ordered
“CJaciel Ascetie Acid for killing corns,” ‘2
pennyworth Seed of Caskie for to put on
Corns,” ‘“Ecedie Acid,” and ‘Acie atick;”
acid. sulph. is disguised as ‘‘Sofrickased.”
Carbolic acid appears as Mason’s ‘*Corl Bul-
lick,” an additional line to this order being
a “Pint of Sprite,” and as ‘‘Garliobolick;”
and customers send for oxalic acid as ‘*Ox-
elidsaid,” and ‘‘ox hollid Acid;” tartaric acid
figures as ‘“Tarrack Acid,” and. ‘‘tar-tar-tar-
it acid;” aqua-fortis as ‘*Akiverfortic;” and
nitric acid of ‘‘Nitreassed” and ‘*Nightreas-

as

sed.”

Proprietary medicines seem to be in fair
demand in Bristol: among the many numer-
ous quaint orders for these we may enumer-
ate the following:

Aleock’s Porous Plaster ordered as ‘‘El-
cock’s Borreaux Plaister,” ‘‘one of all cocks
Porrys Plaster,” and ‘2 old cocks pruey
plarsters.”

Ravalenta Arabica, ordere:! as Reverential
Arabica.

Powel’s Balsam, Poles Bolsom of
Honey seed, Powell Boson, Annie a Bal-
sam, Coals Balsam of Hennis seed.

Chlorodyne, as Cloringe, Chlordean, Car-
olina for the toothache.

Dalby’s Carminitive—Dolphins Conmini-
cher.

Fenning’s Mixture—Fenning’s Steymatic
Mixture.

Eno’s Fruit Salt—Eanus’s frute Sauce.

Dredge’s Heal All—Dregges Hair oil,
Drudgezeal Oil, Dredge’s ill all, Dregges
Heallow for Bad Rinch.

Locock’s Wafera, as Dr. Lowcock’s Pro-
monk Waffer’s.

Warburg's Tincture, as ‘1 Battle Woburd
Tinker;” also ‘a bottle of Condis fluid to be
used for Enfictious Smells.”

We find ‘‘Hunyadis Jano a Hungry Wa-

as

ter” required. What ‘Extract of Good

Lord” might be, we could not at first deter-"
mine, but ultimately it was apparent that
Goulard’s Extract was the article intended.

Chememical names seem still to puzzle a
large section of the British public, for we
have, ‘‘Glissarine,” ‘‘Carvonate of Torn,”
“high Dry pottash,” ‘‘Asyderate Magnesea”
(mag. cit.), ‘“Bygonie of Potash” (pot. bi-
earb.), ‘‘Sulphurous Ink” (zinei sulp.),
“Higher Dye Pothisiam,” I—A—I (pot.
iod.), ‘Cor bo nat of Pot Ash,” and “Hy
Pho Sulphate of Harmonia.”

The names of familiar drugs are frequent-
ly rendered in a quaint manner; for instance,
rad. gent. appears as ‘‘junction root,” to be
obtained of a ‘‘hurb cemist,” carbo prep. as
prypared ‘“Chark Hole;” ipecacuanha and
hiera-piera are notorious for the protean di-
versity of spelling which they undergo.
Thus we find ‘‘Hierepicry,” ‘‘Hikerapik-
ram,” ‘*Hickery Pock.”

Yellow basilicon rejoices in the alias Yol-
loppesellican.

Lin sapnis is called Upper dill Dock.

Troch. Morphie are Marfall Lodizingers.

Troch. Ipec.‘ Epukeckuana Lozengers.

Troch. Ipec., Hypocacuan Lozengers.

As one might suppose, some of the ‘‘rec-
ipes” handed over the counter are curiosities
in their wao. In one, the patient boldly
rushed into classics and technical symbols
thus:

ss ** Hickerepickery.

Mix with giu, rum, or brandy.

We are told that ‘‘Meculicar Ointment or
Oileybais, it isa blew ointment that Rills
youmer (homour) when appliead to.”

Various perfumes are specified as Laren-
terwater (aq. lavand), Bargham Hot (Ol
Bergam), Stafinotis Sent, Ode Colong on
Hungry Water.

We suppose cough lozenges and acid drops
would be applied for ‘‘Cof Lochiesr” and
‘‘Hussaddrops,” and cholera medicine for
““Collery medicine.”

Coceus cacti appears as a native of old
Gaul under the patronymic ‘‘Scotch O’ Neil;”
it also fignres ‘‘Seotchesele,” ‘Scotch an
eal,” and ‘Coach o nail.”

We read a pathetic application for ‘*Int-
ment for the Each,” and a requirement for
‘*Liekweed (liquid) to Kill Bugs.” And,
lastky, as a poser for medical diagnosis, a
sufferer applies for a ‘‘box of ointment fora
womb (wound) in the groynd.”

The necessity for the pharmaceutical ped-
agogue being in one sense still more abroad,
is fully demonstrated by the above ludicrous
blunders.

Muskegon Drug Clerks’ Association,

In consequence of the Charity Ball taking
place on the 12th, the regular meeting of the
M. D.C. A. was postponed until the 18th.
I. F. Hopkins having purchased a drug store
of his own tendered his resignation as Pres-
ident of the Association, which was accept-
ed. Peter Van Diense read a paper on
“Quinine” and Fred Heath a paper on
‘-Weights and Measures.” After a short de-
bate the Association then adjourned until
next Friday, on which day theregular meet-
ing will be held.

State Dairy Commissioner Rice, of Minne-
sota, is making a move which he is pushing
to have oleomargarine and other counterfeit
dairy products brought under the law of
Congress, which will compel every package
to be stamped with its real character which
is offered for sale. <A. petition is being cir-
culated asking Congress to legislate in be-
half of the dairy interests of the country.

A. well-known peppermint dealer writes
Tur TRADESMAN as follows: ‘You might
as well quote oi! peppermint at $5. Buyers
offer $4, but growers ask $5. I know of
two growers who hold 500 pounds. A
freeze up now would kill the roots. They
are reported in bad condition in New York
State. I am out of oil.”

Chas. H. Milner, the Big Rapids drug-
gist, recently made himself notorious by
striking his wife in the face, knocking her
down and kicking her brutally. Mrs. Mil-
ner is a mother as well as a, wife, and her
husband’s treatment should ke rewarded by

 
 
 

 

a coat of tar and feathers.

   

Fit for the Infernal Regions.
Correspondence National Druggist.

If ever a clerk should be allowed the priv-
ilege of giving full vent to his temper, it is
when heis in receipt of a doctor’s prescrip-
tion the meaning of which he can not make
out. It seems as though the average phy-
sician had entered into a contract with the
devil to get possession of the souls of the
prescription clerks. The number of curses
that they have caused will never be known.
Yet I apprehend that Gabriel blots out the
account against the young man and puts it
to the reckless physician, and there it be-
longs. There may be excuses for mistakes
as to the quantity made by the doctor of any
medicine he prescribes; he may neglect to
prescribe the dose, but for the illegible
serawls, he may at the final day plead in
vain for forgiveness. Every plea will be
met by the imprecations of the thousand and
one clerks who have been victims of his
fiendish serawls, and when justice is done
he will be compelled to depart hence.

THE RETAIL GROCERS.

 

An Interesting Meeting of the Local Asso -
ciation.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of the
Retail Grocers’ Association of Grand Rapids
was held on the 16th and called to order by
Vice-President Walker, and on roll call the
following officers were found absent:
Messrs. Herrick, Johnson, Sigel, Hydorn
and Knox. The minutes of the preceding
meeting were read and approved, and the
names of J. F. Noreutt and J. C. Shaw were
proposed for membership and both aecepted.

On eall for reports of special committees,
the Entertainment Committee reported that
they were not fully prepared and it was
moved that they be allowed two weeks fur-
ther time. Carried.

The Law Committee made a very com-
plete report on the provisions of the city
charter which defines the powers of the
Common Council relative to the regulation
of the business of peddling, and after clear-
ly defining such powers made the following
suggestions:

First—That we request the Council to re-
quire of huxters the maximum limit of cost
before granting a license; that is, fifteen
dollars per .day.

Second—That such huxters and peddlers
be required to submit such vegetables, fruit,
fish, poultry or others articles of food, offer-
ed for sale at retail, to the proper authori-
ties to be appointed by the city as required
in section 10, sub. division 52, page 32, of
the charter, and sub. division 59 of section
10, page 33, and section 10, sub. division 65,
page 34.

Third—To require such huxters, retailers,
traders and dealers and which should in-
clude farmers, to use only such weights and
measures as are approved by the city sealer,
and to properly inflict the legal penalty pre-
scribed by law. Power is found in section
10, sub-division 64, page 67, and section 10,
of title 3 of the city charter.

Fourth—That the Common Council of the
city be petitioned to provide a public mar-
ket for the sale of vegetables, fruits and
other produce and compel all producers to
go on such market to dispose of such pro-
duce. Power so to dois found in section
10, sub-division 21, page 23, and section 10,
sub-division 33, of title 3 of said charter.

After some discussion it was moved that
the report be accepted and placed on file.
Carried.

The Arbitration Committee reported that
they had investigated the case of John Dun-
negan, who had een reported as a delin-
quent by John Cordes, and whose name had
been placed on the delinquent list, and that
they found Dunnegan had the only record
of the account, which he refused to produce
and in the opinion of the Committee his
name should remain on the list until the ac-
count was paid according to such record. It
was moved that the report be accepted and
that the name should remain on the list and
all members refuse credit until the account

was settled. Carried.

It was moved that all members having ac-
counts one year old or over should present
the account to debtor and give five days to
report before sending the name to the actu-
ary. Carried.

The treasurer reported total receipts of
$87.50 and disbursements of $50.30. Cash
on hand, $37.20.

President Walker announced a few mo-
ments’ intermission to allow members a
chance to pay quarterly dues and on calling
to order it was moved to rescind the action
of placing the report of the Law Committee
on file. Carried. It was moved that the
report be accepted and adopted and that the
Committee be instructed to report at the next
meeting a series of resolutions covering the
points as suggested, to be presented to the
Common Council. Carried.

Mr. Meech suggested that as the season
was rapidly advancing when we would com-
mence to handle fresh vegetables, it would
be well to take into consideration the ques-
tion of handling by weight. Moved that Mr.
Meech be appointed to present a paper on
the subject at the next meeting. Carried.

The meeting then adjourned.

And thy dear wife will smile on thee.

THE CARE OF MILK.

 

Deep Setting vs. Shallow Pan System.

The system of setting milk for cream rais-
ing has, within the past few years, under-
gone many changes, and great improve-
ments inthe mode of handling the milk
have been introduced which materially les-
sen the labor incident to making butter, as
well as Jendinga valuable assistance toward
insuring a uniformly better article than
could be produced by the old plan. Milk
set in the old-fashioned way in pans and
Fe erocks, exposed to the air of the cellar or
. spring house, is liable to become contami-
nated by absorption of all the impurities
that are constantly present in the atmos- |
phere, particularly during the HPmonths of

  

 

P summer and the fall, when vegetation
2 passes through such rapid stages of decom-

| for the cream to rise;

from the milk of cows that are especially
adapted to the butter-making business; in
this respect milk will vary greatly, taken
from the different breeds of dairy animals—
that from the Jersey and Guernsey separat-
ing quickest and most thoroughly; the Ayr-

shire and the Holstein being larger milkers, .

and their milk adapted to cheese making,
and being devoid of the’ oils in large quan-
tities found in butter, and the butter glob-
ules being smaller, a longer time is required
but, with the'tem-
perature adjusted to a proper point, the
cream from any cow’s milk will all be
thoroughly separated at the end of twelve

/hours, and the milk can be given to the

young animals sweet, and with a confident
feeling that the butter-producing element has
all been extracted.

These creamers are made of different

from such milk, and no matter how great
the care exercised in other directions, or how
negt and cleanly the habits of the milker and
the dairy maid may be, all is for naught if
the surrounding atmosphere impure,
though ventilation of the milk room is an
absolute necessity, and to secure this the
outside air must be introduced. If the air

attended with dangers, and the cream and

milk could be kept in a pure and sweet con-
dition; but when the air is loaded with
tainted odors from the pig-pen, the stable,
and the cesspool, or perhaps a dead carcass,
undergoing decomposition, half a mile or
more away, the possibilities of a fine article
of butter, noted for ‘‘keeping” qualities
being made from the cream so exposed, are
exceedingly doubtful. There is no escape
from this impure contact by the open-pan
system of setting milk. The air carries
with it everywhere foulness and impurities
with which it comes in contact. These are
rapidly and securely absorbed by milk and
cream exposed to its influences, which ‘pro-
duce decomposition and leave a disagree-
able and damaging taint to the butter that
detracts greatly from its value and quality.

A dairyman may be scrupulously clean
and careful of his own premises in all the
details of stable, milk room, and the uten-
sils used in the business, and to have all
objectionable objects that would taint the
air with unpleasant odors, removed and con-
trolled. Yet, by the carelessness of his

very much superior to the old method, not
only for the reasons mentioned, but because
more cream can be obtained from a given
quantity of milk, and from which a larger
yield of butter will result; the butter will
be of finer quality, andif proper precautions
regarding temperature are observed will al-
ways be uniform in that quality.

It matters very little Whether the cooling
process to which the milk is subjected in the
creamer, or placed under the water entirely,
or merely surrounded by water to the top of
the cans, with ventilation through the lid,
or whether the same ends are accomplished
by the use of a refrigerating box, construct-
ed with a shelf across the top inside for ice,
with space under to accommodate the
height of the cans, and which receive the
drippings of the melting ice—this produces
the desired effect of raising the cream rapid-
ly and thoroughly, and keeping the milk
sweet by the means of cold air instead of
water—results are the same in each case—
an infinite saving of labor in all the details
of dairy work, better butter, with less at-
tention and skill required in the manage-
ment of the milk, and an increased amount
of profit and satisfaction generally.

It has been clearly and _ satisfactorily
proven that more butter can be made from
the same amount of milk (the cream from
which has been raised by the deep-setting
plan) than from the shallow-pan system—
numerous experiments having been authen-
tically made and published, the balance al-
ways showing in favor of the first-named

returns. By the deep-setting process every-
thing is different, and the cream can be de-
pended upon to rise to the top, through a
depth of eighteen inches of milk, with as
much certainty as though it was but three
or four inches deep; the cream may be re-
moved at the end of twelve hours, and fed
to the calves or pigs in a perfectly sweet |
condition. One can, as commonly used by |
this method, will hold as much as five or six
ordinary crocks or pans, resulting in an im-
mense saving of labor in cleansing and |
washing smaller vessels, the labor of skim-
ming and consequent mixing of the upper
9 portion of milk with the cream, and the im-
possibility of removing the cream entirely |
pure is avoided, the cans being so con-
structed that the milk is drawn off from
under the cream through a faucet (placed at
the bottom of the can) which can be shut
off when the line of separation reaches that

convenience and ease of cleanliness and |

tank for holding water, in which the cans |
(usually eighteen inches deep and eight |

temperature being maintained by the use of |
ice, or with cold water flowing through the |

CONFLICTING OPINIONS.

 

 

Collector Davis Not in Accord with Messrs.
Rogers and Raum.
Baiey, February 10, 1886.
Editor Michigan Tradesman:

Dear Str—As your paper is the fount of
every blessing in the way of enlightening
the minds of those who seek for knowledge,
please give your opinion on the following
question:

If a customer buys twenty-five cigars
takes them home and puts them in an old
cigar box on which the stamp has been eras-
ed and smokes them at his leisure, is he lia-
ble to any provisions of the Internal Revenue
law?

I enclose the opinion of Revenue Collector
Davis from which I dissent.

‘ * Yours truly, Joun A. SPRING.

The opinion to which Mr. Spring refers,
and which was published in the lo sal papers
about a fortnight ago, is as follows:

Granp Rapips, Jan. 21, 1886.
John A. Spring, Bailey, Mich.:

DEAR Srr—Yours dated January 16 is be-
fore me. You ask, if a customer buys twen-
ty-five cigars, takes them home and puts
them in an old cigar box on which the stamp
has been erased, is he liable? Yes, he is.
The box has been used once and is liable to
seizure if found with cigars in the box. The
fact of the stamp being erased and cigars
found in the box is prima facie evidence
that there is a violation, as the stamp must
not be erased until the last cigar is taken
out of the box. So you will readily see, if
the box has cigars in it and the stamp eras-
ed, it is a strict violation. I have no extra
copies of the Revenue Law. You ean have
the privilege of looking over the one I have
in the office at any time.

Gro. N. Davis, Collector.

The same inquiry was addressed to Acting
Commissioner Rogers, who replied as fol-
lows:

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Office of Internal Revenue,
WASHINGTON, FEB, 1886.

DEAR Sir—lI reply to your inquiries, that
if acustomer should lawfully purchase twen-
ty-five cigars, solely for his own smoking,
and take them home and put them in an old
cigar box, from which the stamp has been
utterly destroyed, he would not, by so do-
ing, become liable under the Internal Rey-
enue law. Respectfully,

H. C. RoGERs,
Acting Commissioner.

The same inquiry addressed to Green B.
Raum, who is probably the best authority
in the country, elicited the following re-
sponse:

Wasuinacton, Feb. 15, 1886.

DEAR Str—U pon the facts as stated, the
Internal Revenue laws are not violated.
The laws require the destruction of the
stamp,. After that is done, the box can be
used for any purpose, except by a cigar
manufacturer. Yours truly,

GREEN B. RAUM.

The law governing the above point is
comprised in Section 3,393, a copy of which
must be affixed to every box of cigars sent
out by a manufacturer, as follows: ‘‘The
manufacturer of the cigars herein contained
has complied with all the requirements of
law. Every person is cautioned under pen-
alties of law, not to use this box for cigars
again.” The word ‘‘use” in this connection
has been construed by the courts to mean
the use of the box by a manufacturer or
dealer, and consequently sannot have any
bearing as relating to an ordinary consumer.
An empty cigar box, with the stamp proper-
ly effaced, can be used for any purpose by
any person not a manufacturer or dealer—as
a cash drawer, a nail box or a receptacle for
thread or cigars. Tir TRADESMAN regrets
that Collector Davis should have miscon-
strued the law in the manner indicated in
his answer to Mr. Spring and trusts that he
will put himself right before the business
public by a prompt avowal of the error.

New England Ideas in Michigan.

 

From the Commercial Reporter.

Seventeen cities and villages in the State
of Michigan have retail grocers’ associations,
As soon as the number reaches twenty-five,
a call will be issued for a State convention,
to be composed of delegates from each or-
ganization, and lay delegates from towns not
then organized. New England ideas are
still being taken up, and in the above in-
stance they are advanced and put into prac-
tical operation by Mr. Stowe, editor of THE

Businese and collections are both satisfac-
tory. Granulated sugar has gone a sixpence
lower, touching the lowest point since the
last week of July of last year. Hard sugars
have suffered a corresponding shrinkage in
value, but soft goods hold up and are farly
firm, considering the circumstances.

Some of the local brokers are endeavoring
to convince the jobbing trade that the boom
in tomatoes will shortly be followed by an
upward movement in peaches. Such a feel-
is not shared by the jobbing trade to any
great extent and it is not likely that prices
will go much higher than present quota-
tions.

The potato market exhibits as much ac-
tivity as the present rather unfavorable
weather will permit. Buyers are taking all
available offerings of either Rose of Bur-
banks, paying about 40 cents for the former
and 45 cents for the latter. The Southern
demand is comparatively good and as South-
ern buyers do not discriminate against the
Rose, on account of the red streaks, it is
probable that the Rose will be put on the
same plane as the Burbanks before the sea-
son is much further advanced.

Among the absentees during the past week

sociation was hatched here after a some-
what hasty incubation and was officered

after the most approved fashion; but as near
as the average observer can determine noth-
ing more save a few newspaper items has
been done to survey the line of progress in
this direction. Of late, however the institu-
tion has manifested some indications of life
and the hope is cherished that it may cover
itself with glory in the service of this com-
munity. For some years the agricultural
industries in this section will not be suffi-
cient to feeda growing Cadillac. With almost
unlimited resources of pine and hardwood,
this place is a most desirable locality for a
large class of manufactories and for these
this city is languishing and without them
she can never fully regain her vitality—
railroads or no railroads.

average. There is a brisk call for genera
hardware, including shelf goods, tools and

SPALL LADD DDD ALLS.

The following auotations are given to show
relative values, but they may be considered, to
some extent, “outside prices,’ and are not as
low as buyers of reasonable quantities can, in
most instances, obtain them at. It will pay
every merchant to make frequent visits to
market, not only in respect to prices, but to
keep posted on the ever-changing styles and

fashions, many of which are never shown “on
the road.”’

The Michigan Tradesman,

BUSINESS LAW.

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

 

 

 

DRAFT—CONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

When a draft is given directing the drawee
to pay absolutely a sum of money to the
payee, it is the right of the payee to have
an unconditional and unqualified acceptance;
and if he chooses, without the consent of
the drawer, to take a conditional, limited,
or qualified acceptance of the draft, he
thereby releases the drawer from all liabil-
ity upon it.

LIFE INSURANCE POLICY—FORFEITURE.

Where a policy of life insurance contained
two clauses concerning the use of intoxicat-
ing liquor by the assured to the extent of in-
ducing delirium tremens—one providing
that the policy be null aud void, the other
that the policy, at the option of the com-
pany, might be cancelled and the company
absolved from liability—the Supreme Court
of Indiana held that the policy should be
construed most favorably to the assured, and
against a forfeiture of it.

 

PROPERTY IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
Section 1,593 of the Georgia Code provides
that ‘‘cotton, corn, rice or other products
sold by planters and commission merchants
on cash sales shall not be considered as the
property of the buyer or the ownership given
up until the same shall be fully paid for,
although it may have been delivered into
the possession of the buyer.” 'TheSupreme
Court of Georgia held that the language of
the section did not cover turpentine and
rosin so as to prevent the title thereto from
passing to the buyer until fully paid for.

 

MORTGAGE—-CHECK-—NOTES—-PAYMENT.

A. person owing $8,000 on notes seeured
by mortgage, without having any funds in
bank, drew his check on the bank in favor
of his creditor for that sum, and had the
eashier of the bank say it was good, the in-
tention being that it should not be presented
for payment. The creditor then made a new
loan of the same amount, taking the debtor’s
note for the same sum bearing a less rate of
interest, and surrendered the check, but re-
tained the old notes, no money in fact hay-
ing changed hands. ‘The Supreme Court of
Illinois held that as no money was to be
paid on the check it was no payment of the
old notes, and that their payment could be
enforeed notwithstanding this transaction.

 

PARTNERSHIP—DEBT—SURETY.
Where four persons af partners were in-
debted to a fifth, and agreed between them-
selves that each would assume and pay one-
fourth of the debt, and one of them became
surety upon the note given by another of the
partners which the surety had to pay, the
Supreme Coart of Llinois held that as be-
tween the partners such arrangement did
not change the nature or character of the
demand from a firm to an individual liabil-
ity, and;that on an adjustment of the part-
nership account the partner so paying as
surety was entitled to credit for the sum so
paid by him, and had a lien upon the inter-
est of each partner for such advance. The
court held in the same case that partnership
lands being treated as personalty for the
purpose of paying partnership debts, a ver-
bial pledge by one partner of his interest in
such lands to another partner holding the
legal title, as a security for the payment of
the former’s portion of a partnership debt,
was not within the statute of frauds, and
was valid.

 

FIRE IMSURANCE POLICY—COUNTRY STORE
—GUNPOWDER.

A policy of insurance upon a stock of dry
goods, ete., ‘‘and such other articles as are
nsually kept in a country store,” was held

et avoided by the keeping of gunpowder

“and coal oil, although a printed condition in

the policy prohibited the keeping of these
articles, unless the consent of the company
should be indorsed on the policy, it appear-
ing from the proof that gunpowder and coal
oil were ‘‘such articles as are usually kept
in a country store.” American Fire Insur-
ance Company of Philadelphia vs. Nugent,
decided by the Kentucky Superior Court on
the 3d inst. The agent who took the policy
in this case testified that he knew gunpow-
der and coal oil were generally kept in
country stores, and that if his attention had
been called to the matter at the time he is-
sued the policy he would have indorsed
thereon the privilege of keeping them. The
court held that under the circumstances
the company was as much bound as if the
permission intended to be given by the agent
had been indorsed on the policy.

 

BILL OF EXCHANGE—ACCEPTANCE.
In an action against the acceptor of a bill

* of exchange by a payee who is a bona fide

holder for value and who takes it before ac-
ceptance, itis no defense that the accept-
ance was made without consideration, or
that the acceptor was induced to accept the
bill by the false and fraudulent representa-
tions of the drawer. So held by the New
York Court of Appeals. The delivery of a
bill or a check by one person to another for
yalue implies a representation on the part
of the drawer, that the drawee is in funds
for its payment, and his subsequent accept-
ance of such check of bill constitutes an ad-
mission of the truth of the representation,
which he is not allowed to retract. * * *
By such acceptance the drawee admits the
truth of the representation, and having ob-
tained a suspension of the holder’s remedies

 

credit by his admission, is not afterwards at
liberty to controvert the fact as against a
bona fide holder for value of the bill.

 

POLICY —DEFAULT—FORFEIT-
URE.

A citizen of Kentucky took outa policy
of insurance through a local agent with a
foreign company having its principal office
in New York city, a branch office for the
western department in Chicago, and a local
agent in Kentucky. Both the policy and the
premium note of the insured were silent as
to where and to whom the premiums were to
be paid, but the local agent taking the risk
told the insured that he would be notified
how and to whom to make payments, and
that he must not make them in any other
way. The obligation of the insured was to
pay by mail if requested. He was never
notified to whom to make the  pay-
ments, and was in default when the prop-
erty burned. The Kentucky Court of Ap-
peals held (Blackerby vs. Continental Insur-
ance Company) that under all the cireum-
stances the insured had the right to believe
that the agent had authority to instruct him
as to the manner of paying the premiums,
and that the company, by its course of bus-
iness and conduct having produced such a
belief, could not be allowed to claim a for-
feiture of the policy because the insured had
acted upon it.

SUOTLIFF

COUPON
SYSTEM.

The only Complete Coupon System in
existence, making business safe both for
the merchant and his customers.

In presenting to the trade my COUPON SYS-
TEM, which has been revised and improved, I
claim that I have the most complete, safe and
cheapest system for simplifying business on
the market. Customers can send their ser-
vants with the Coupon Book to the store with
no danger or discrepancies, as by the record
which is kept on inside covers, amountof each
sale is recorded. <All books are numbered
when so'd, and when not paid for in advance,
are secured by note, one of which is in every
book. Every Coupon has engraved signature
of the merchant, together with the card; coy-
ers have the merchant’sadvertisementon, and
their size makes them desirable to the custom-
er as well as the cashier. As they are now
made the smaller numbers below the five cent
can be detached, same as the larger ones, thus
obviating the necessity of a punch and stamp.

MERCHANTS CONTEMPLATING CHANG-
ING FROM CREDIT TO CASH, can still hold
their old customers by introducing this sys-
tem, which I claim is the only system where
both customers and merchants are absolutely
protected against all loss. Send for sample,
