EATON & LYON,

 

The Drummer.
BY GEORGE S. SANFORD.

Of all the professions e’re followed by man,

From the raising of Cain where Adam began—

For checkers and changes, anxiety and strife,

There’s nothing compares with the traveling
man’s life.

The modern drummer is readily known,

For he has a peculiar style of his own

In presenting his card and dropping his grip,
Unless, perchance. he is on his first trip.

The new drummer is very important and wise,

And generally wears glasses for his custom-
ers’ eyes;

He is out on trial for a one-trip term,

But considers himself the head of the firm.

But the drummer learns as he grows more old,

That ae cone handle all the goods that are
sold;

When fully convinced of this state of affairs,

He increases his salespy decreasing his airs.

There are many disappointments that comein
the way

Of the traveling man of the modern day,

And many insulting thrusts are made,

But he one them down for the sake of his
trade.

If all the drummers should die in one night,
T’ would leave this country in aterrible plight;
Our passenger cars would rust on the rail,
And hotel business would be dead as a nail.

No more would you hear the sound of the
gong, -
And livery rigs would sell for asong;
The hinges of the theater doors would rust—
The = cars and omnibuses crumble to
ust.

The blind beggar would get few dimes in his

at,
The — houses—(well, I hardly know as to
1at)—
The practice of flirting would suddenly be
dropped,
And all other legitimate businesses stopped.

Then gather the grips of all sizes and styles,

And empty them out in promiscuous piles,

_— ew mixture the eye would be-
old!

Boots and shoes mixed up with fancy goods

rare,
Pig iron thrown down on crockery ware,

Fancy candies with hardware and clothing
you’d find,

And solids and fluids of every kind;

Leather-cased flasks of late fancy style

Would frequently be found in the curious pile.

Thus fancy might run and morethings be said,

But we’ve positive proof that the drummer’s
not dead;

In speuding an hour in a customer’s store,

I was introduced to a dozen or more.

No, they areliving and moving, I am happy to

say,

And jolly good fellows they are, by the way;

Have a smile for the boys when they call at
your store,

And give them a kind greeting, if you do noth-
ing more.

Tilman Bludsoe. «
BY BRET HAY.

“Wot, stranger, haven’t you heard the yarn?
Not know how I came to loose my leg,

An’ took to stumpin’ on this consarn?
It isn’t purty, this hick’ry peg,

Ain’t lived in these diggin’s long I guess.
Wall, tisten then, an’ the yarn I’ll tell

Of that hellish day in the Wilderness
When we wrastled with Rebel shotand shell.

“Our mén was bein’ mowed down like grass;
Our solid columns, they broke and reeled,
When a child 0’ two, a tiny lass
I seen where the dead men strewed the field.
Between the ranks 0’ the blue and the gray
She stood right up with a frightened cry
An’ waved her hands in a scared-like way.
How did she come there? God knows; not I.

“Well, Cap., I’m a rough an’ ready lot,
But I’m a father myself, ye see.
I swore ’twixt my teeth that baby’d not
Be mustered out with no help from me.
I paused where the soldiers fled like sheep,
The Siar conse saw me an’ raised their yell;
An’ back I rushed through the dead knee-deep,
Through whizzin’ showers 0’ grape an’ shell.

“T reached the baby an’ grusped her quick.
She put her soft little face to mine,
An’ back we rushed whar the shot fell thick;
Back through the volleys from line to line.
The child never murmered or cried out,
As safely we flew and never stopped
Till, jest as we got to our own redoubt,
I felt a bullet an’ down I dropped.

“But the babe was saved! With a deafenin’

shout!
bade a cheer they gave from the shattered
ine!

An’, after a month, I wuz mustered out

With a crutch an’ this timber leg o’ mine.
Wall, that’s my story. I don’t complain.

But didn’t that little gal show pluck?
I tell ye I'd do the same again;

Another drink? Wall. thanks! Here’s luck.”

“A valiant man,” I remarked to one
Who stood apart with a smiling phiz;
“Not every soldier would thus have done
A deed as noble and brave as his.”
“Now don’t you credit that chap at all,’’
Said my companion, and tipped a wink;
“A buzz-saw cut off his leg last fall.
That yarn’s his scheme for getting a drink.”

Red Tape.

When a manufacturing establishment
which has been run on the free and easy,
go-as-you-please style of keeping track of
its business, adopts some definite system of
keeping account of everything that enters
into the cost of manufacture, the employes
begin to ery red tape, remarks Wood and
Iron. They gather into knots and make
remarks to the effect that red tape will kill
the establishment, and comment upon the
fact that one man kept track of the whole
business before, while now it takes two or
three extra men, and demonstrate conclu-
sively to themselves that these extra men
will absorb all the profits of the business.
In the great majority of cases these men
who growl about red tape are the very ones
who do not want it put down in black and
white just how much time they put on a
certain job. They are afraid that if some
one else does the same work in less time
they will be confronted with the fact, and
made to do as well or be paid accordingly.
It is within the knowledge of the writer
that a man representing himself to be a
first-class workman applied for and obtain-
ed a situation. He was given a job as near
as could be like that some other man, re-
ceiving the same pay, had made a few days
before. When the job was finished and his
time handed in, the foreman of the depart-
ment called him into the office and asked
him why it took him so long. He insisted
that he had done it quickly, and intimated
that he did not believe that any one else

‘but Irish laborers or English gentlemen

|
could make it in less time. A simple refer-
ence to the book showed him that several
men had done the same thing in little less
than one-half the time. Of course he had
to step down and out, and seek a job some
place where they kept no records. With-
out some system of keeping account of la-
bor preformed this man would have stayed
there indefinitely and have been considered
a valuable man. It does not take the
thoughtful manufacturer long to decide that
half a dozen such men in a shop will waste
more money than will pay his two or three
extra accountants.

There is still another advantage in keep-
ing a record of everything done or made.
It frequently happers that a customer
‘*kicks” about his bill, and insists that there
could not have been that amount of labor
put upon his job. Ifno record is kept of
the details of the work, the man who did
the job must be called into the office, that
is if he still works there. When asked how
long it took him to do that particular job,
he don’t know, can’t remember, but thinks
about four or five hours, and he thinks
Bill did some work on it, but don’t know
how much. The result is that nine times
out of ten the customer gets a reduction,
and the firm has lost just so much money.
When a detailed record is kept it can be re- |
ferred to; the workman can swear to it be-
cause he put itdown at the time, and the
man has to pay.

Ethics of Tobacco Smoking.
From the San Francisco Argonaut.

It is not good for a gentleman to smoke
in the public streets. It is inadmissable if
he is walking with a lady. He may not
smoke if he is company with his wife, be-
cause the relation is known to the public,
and in the act he shows his want of respect.
After breakfast the business man is permit-
ted, upon the railroad, ferry boat, or avenue
car to finish his after-breakfast cigar. None

ever smoke briarwood pipes or clay du-
deens, except in private. The smell of a
cigarette holder is inexpressibly nasty, and
under no circumstances will a gentleman
ever smoke cigarettes in a mixed society.
The cigarette should be confined to the
smoking room or smoking car, and never,
under any circumstances, be indulged in
when ladies are present. As an after-din-
ner indulgence, smoking is admissable after
the ladies have retired. Cigarettes are use-
ful because they kill off worthless boys.
The pipe is a comfort to workingmen and a
solace to old age. Cigars should be regard-
ed as a luxuryy and indulged in by only
those who can afford to purchase good ones.
The man who will smoke a bad cigar ina
public place, or where its fumes are likely
to reach any other’s nose than his own, is

no gentleman.

Inventive Faculty of Women.

 

Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in one of his
charming essays, dwells on the lack of the
inventive faculty in women. This is cur-
ously verified by the roll of the Patent
Office. Searcely one per cent. of all the
hundreds of thousands of patents issued an-
nually in the United States are granted to
women. There is not a single model of an
important invention by a woman on exhibi-
tion at the Patent Office. Such as are there
are very small and simply devices of no par-
ticular importance. Of the articles used by
women, such as corsets, glove fasteners,
sewing machines, washing machines, pins,
needles, churns, shoe buttoners, fans, fruit
jars, button fasteners, pianos, and other
musical instruments, music holders, pat-
terns, and the thousand and one other arti-
eles for the fair sex, 99 per cent. are the
inventions of men. I asked one of the
Patent Office veterans the other day to show
me some of the inventions of women, and
he was unable to point them out; but a-pat-
ent lawyer whom I consulted called my at-
tention toa few. There was one coftee pot,
a fire escape, an artificial fruit compound, a
method of cutting paper patterns, and that
was all that could be found among recent
inventions accredited to the fair sex.

Mistakes of Life.

Somebody has condensed the mistakes of
life, and arrived at the conclusion that there
are fourteen of them. Most people would
say, if they told the truth, that there was no
limit to the mistakes of life; that they were
like the drops in the ocean or the sands of
the shore in number, but it is well to be ac-
curate. Here, then, are fourteen great mis-
takes: ‘‘It is a great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong, and judge
people accordingly; to measure the enjoy-
ment of others by our own; to expect uni-
formity of opinion in this world; to look for
judgment and experience in youth; to en-
deavor to mould all dispositions alike; to
yield to immaterial trifles; to look for per-
fection in our own actions; to worry our-
selves and others with what cannot be rem-
edied; not to alleviate all that needs allevia-
tion as far as lies in our power; not to make
allowances for the infirmities of others; to
consider everything impossible that we can-
not perform; to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp; to expect to be able to un-

 

 

 

understand everything.

How to Geta Home.

A working man’s first aim should be the
complete mastery of his trade; but while
doing this, a second end, scarcely less im-
portant, may be steadily followed, namely,
the securing of a home. Every man is bet-
ter for owning a piece of real estate, no
matter how small. If one has a rgof of his
own overhead, and is his own larf@lord, be-
sides all the comforts of it, he has a castle
into which he may retreat in days of trouble.

The ordinary American mechanic earns
enough money to place himself ina good
house, owned in fee simple, before he is
thirty years old. But it all turns on the
point whether he is willing to deny himself
in the present time and take his pay for it
in the future. When a man is young his
sources of enjoyment are ample; less than
at any other period of his life does he need
to employ money for the sake of happiness.
While young he can live closer and be joy-
ous on a smaller expenditure than ever af-
ter. The old rule that every man should
live within his income of earnings, is very
well; but he ought to live a good deal within
them. It is surprising to see how little is
required to support aman. Some men live
and thrive on what their companions throw
away. A young man who has only his
hands and good character has a motive for
rigid economy. But men imitate cach oth-
er. A journeyman is ashamed to live closer
than the average of his fellows. He wants
good clothes, good board, and a little to
spend for trifles. These things have at-
tractions for him which the prospect of a
good house or farm, 20 years distant, does
not; and so he lives for the present, not for
the future. He spegds as fast as he earns;
is always liable, by sickness or accident, to
become poor or to run into embarrassing
debts.

Instead of such a life, from hand to
mouth, without plan or method, suppose a
young man is determined to save one-half
or afourth of his wages, no matter how
small they may be, and live for the present
with an economy which shall comport with
this design; suppose, as soon asa little is
collected, that a piece of ground or house is
purchased, a small payment made, and the
rest arranged in easy quarterly installments,
how soon will he feel the exciting and reg-
ulating effect of having before him such a
worthy object.

A man who is working to secure a small
piece of property, substitutes a new and dis-
tinct ambition fora remote and vague one.
Day dreams about large estates and princely
incomes may be very amusing but they are
not half so profitable as the vision of a lot
50x100, with a snug little dwelling house
upon it. With this before himaman will
rise early and retire late, turning his hand
cheerfully to any and every kind of work.
He will have a motive for rigorous economy
which will make ita pleasure. He will have
visions of the last payment before him as a
perpetual motive to moderation in passions,
economy in expenses, abstinence from ex-
pensive pleasures and from expensive com-
panions. Thus it will come to pass that
a judicious debt incurred at the beginning
of a journeyman’s or laborer’s career, will
become his good genius, watching over him,
inciting him to all industry and to self-gov-
ernment. Every laboring man ought to own
his own home. The first duty of the work-
ingman should be to convert his earnings
into real estate.—Henry Ward Beecher.

Sa et -O- <a
Chinese Treatment of Insolvent Merchants.

In China the merchants doing business on
aparticular street or immediate neighborhood
are associated together for immediate pro-
tection, counsel, ete., under the name of
‘*Kaifong.” In Canton there are several
thousand of these small bodies.

These men, in the event of a bankruptcy
occurring among them, mark the delinquent
and watch, lest he should ever return to do
businsss in their quarter. ‘‘Gone to Hong
Kong” is as familiar a phrase applied to an
absconding debtor in Canton as *‘Gone to
Texas” was in bye gone days to a Northern
debtor on his sudden withdrawal from his
creditors. On the shop door of a trader
who has thus ‘‘vamosed’”’ is posted a red
paper, an ordinary bill made out in usual
form by some creditor, and thus attached to
the house as a formal demand for payment.
This is followed in a few days by many
others, until the shop door and windows
completely glare with vermillion hue. And
there they remain, none daring to remove
them, continually publishing to every pass-
erby the name and just liabilities of the ab-
sconding debtor. The law of the land gives
to the creditor the right to sell the wife and
children of a debtor into slavery, and not
unfrequently recourse is had to this mode of
reimbursement, but there is generally a
dread of having anything to do with Chinese

offerings of justice.

“CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY.”

The boycotter has lately received a num-
ber of hard knocks at the hands of State
and federal courts, but the ruling of Judge
Bond, of the United States Court at Balti-
more, deals the boycotter the most effectual
blow yet aimed at that disreputable indi-
vidual. The Associated press thus notes
Judge Bond’s position:

The United States Marshal of this dis-
trict has served notice on the officers
of the Richmond Typographical Union
and the editor of the Labor Herald of
this city, prohibiting them from publish-
ing in that paper, or elsewhere, the names
of persons w ho are patrons of a boycotted
firm in this city which employs non-union
printers. Judge Bond, of the United States
Court, issued the order last night. The or-
der pr ‘ohibits the persons enjoined from ad-
vising, or inducing, publicly or privately,
others to boycott the firm. The Labor
Herald, which is a weekly paper now half
printed for this week, is virtually suppress-
ed for one edition. Having matter now
printed which would render the paper lia-
ble under the injunction, thsre is consider-
able excitement among the Knights of La-
bor, whose organ is the Herald. This or-
der of Judge Bond’s is the most far-reach-
ing ever issued in the direction of prevent-
ing the boycott.

The language of the injunction not only
recognizes in the clearest terms the crimin-
ality of a conspiracy. to break down a law-
ful business,’ but it goes much further than
the Connecticut Judge went in his charge
to the jury, upon which boycotters were
convicted at New Haven. Judge Bond’s
declarations readily appeal to the candor of
reasonable men anywhere. If it is criminal
at all to conspire for the purpose of de-
stroying the lawful business of another, as
all the courts thus far have held that it is,
the conclusion can hardly be avoided that
the very essence of the crime is the attempt
to influence the action of other persons. No
one holds that it is an offense for each in-
dividual to buy where he pleases. But the
united effort to influence others in their ac-
tion appears to be held by Judge Bond, with
reason, to be criminal interference with the
freedom of the person assailed. And, since
the fear of the displeasure of boycotters is
the motive by which they expect to exert
most influence, their action is in effect an
interference with the freedom of all to
whom they apply for aid.

 

ABOLISHING THE SENATE.

At the recent convention of the Knights
of Labor, held at Cleveland, a legislative
committee was appointed to remain in
Washington during the sitting of Congress,
for the purpose of influencing certain legis-
lation favored by the Knights. The com-
mittee found it comparatively easy to ap-
proach members of the House, who treated
the representatives of labor with a pro-
fusion of soft soap that{may atone for their
omission to do anything on the side of the
public.

Members of the Senate, however, refused
to regard the committee in any other light
than lobbyists and persistently snubbed them
whenever the occasion presented itself.

 

 

 
 

incur the wrathgof the committee and the
order they purported to represent, and the.
matter is rapidly assuming the form of an
incipient boycott of the Senate as a body.
From all over the country has come an un-
official declaration of the Knights that the
‘‘American House of Lords” must go.

The movement to abolish the Senate seems
to THE TRADESMAN to be the most foolish
of the many foolish ideas which have ema-
nated from the Knights of Labor. If the

| laboring men of the country wish to have

the Senate represent the people, they can do
so by alittle independence of political action.
There can hardly be much doubt that cer-

-|tain Senators of corporation proclivities

ought to be retired to private life. The
failure to do so must, however, be charged
to the people; and when it is remembered
that many of them come from states where
labor unions are the strongest, it is a live
question whether the responsibility for the
present constitutioff of the Senate does not
rest largely with the workingmen them-
selves.

The people can by the exercise of intelli-
gence and activity in the way of politics see
to it that the Senate represents them and
not corporate wealth. As long as they fail
to do that through the present constitution
of politics, there is no reason to hope that
they will do any better if the form of gov-
ernment were changed.

 

FORMING A STATE LEAGUE.

Inasmuch as there are now over thirty
associations of retail dealers in this State,
the time seems to have arrived when a State
League is necessary, and Tur TRADESMAN
herewith suggests Tuesday, September 21,
as a desirable date for the meeting, and
Grand Rapids as a suitable place for hold-
ing the convention. The selection of the
date named would secure one advantage
which will readily commend itself to the
favor of dealers living some distance from
the city—it comes in ‘‘fair week,” during
which a half fare rate rules on all the rail-
roads. Merchants coming to the meetings
as delegates can attend the convention on
Tuesday, visit the West Michigan fair on
Wednesday, and then get home in time to
see their local fairs, in case such are held in
their localities. The Retail Grocers’ Asso-
ciation of Grand Rapids will provide a suit-
able meeting place without expense to the
League, and its members will do all that lies
in their power to render the meeting both
pleasant and profitable.

Tur TRADESMAN would be glad to hear
from the local associations in various parts
of the State as to with what degree of favor
the place and date suggested are regarded,
in order that the sentiment of the majority
may be determined. As the theory followed
is the ‘‘greatest good to the greatest num-
ber,” it is essential that those interested in
the matter make known their wishes with
as little delay as possible.

 

The plan to consolidate New York, i. ¢.,
to gather under one city government all the
cities at the mouth of the Hudson, except
those in New Jersey, has been under dis-
cussion again. Tur TRADESMAN does not
see that much is to be gained by such a con-
solidation, except in the census returns.
The big unit would be probable worse gov-
erned than its several parts now are. In-
stead of larger consolidation, more local gov-
ernment is needed in our larger cities. The
wards—each a city with 30,000 people or
more and with interests of their own—should
be to some extent self-governing, with a
local board of health and similar organs of
collective efficiency. There is nothing more
un-American than the administration of an
American city. It is a bad copy from a
bad European model. A better change than
the consolidation of New York would be
the organization of Long Island and the
lower counties into a separate State. That
would simplify our national elections by
making New York a less overwhelming
factor in the final result, while it would give
a deserved increase to the weight of the
present State in the Senate.

 

Labrador lies in n the same latitude as the
British Islands. Yet even in July the ice
of last winter had not broken on its coasts,
and the scanty population has been dying
by thousands of famine, for want of oppor-
tunity to go a-fishing. In Newfoundland a
similar calamity has overtaken the people

through the failure of some of their fish--

eries. The agricultural resources of the
island, although by no means first-class, are
ample for the support of all the people. But
they are neglected for the fisheries, and no
pains have been taken to develop manufac-
turing industries. As a consequence, the
failure of the harvest at sea plunges the
people into starvation.

 

The editor of THe TRADESMAN holds
himself in readiness at all times to respond
to invitations from merchants in towns
within a day’s journey of Grand Rapids, to
assist them in the formation of local asso-
ciations. The service rendered in this way
has thus far been -given without compen-
sation and the writer will be glad to con-
tinue the work on the same terms.

 

Stimulated by the success attending the
Kalamazoo Retail Grocers’ Association, the
boot and shoe dealers of that place have
formed an association having for its main
object protection against the dead-beat.

 

The Commercial Bulletin is the title of
a new trade journal recently launched at
Sioux City, Iowa. The Bulletin possesses
elements of stability which will undoubted-
ly place it at the promt punk,

 

The Workman still insists that boycot-
ting is not a crime, according to the laws of
Michigan. Two courts have declared it to
be acrime under the laws of the United
States, however. If this is any consolation
the Workman is entitled to it. Under the
recent decision of Judge Bond the Work-
man is defying the law by publishing boy-
cotting notices in its columns.

 

The C. W. Allen Tobacco Co., of Chicago,
was one of the concerns which changed to
an eight hour basis prior to May 1. Unable
to compete with establishments running on
the ten hour plan, however, the company
has been forced into bankruptcy. The
eight hour business seems to ruin everyone
who has anything to do with it.

 

Boycotting has been declared to be a crime
in New York, Connecticut, Wisconsin and
California and men who set the laws at de-
fiance in those states are now ‘‘doing time”
in prison. Should the opportunity present
itself, Michigan will undoubtedly take a
place beside her sister,states in this ‘re-
spect.

 

The Grocers’ Protective Association of
Pittsburg, which numbers 595 members, is
preparing to give a public demonstration of
the retail grocery trade. The affair prom-
ises to be an elaborate one, as it will em-
brace many features of an interesting char-
acter and conclude with social features.

 

AMONG THE TRADE.

 

GRAND RAPIDS GOSSIP.

J. P. Creque, retail furniture dealer at 61
Canal street, has sold out to Wm. Wine-
gar.

Frederick Hartmann -succeeds Hartmann
& Dietz in the machinist business on South
Front street.

H. Rademaker & Sons succeed H. Rade-
maker & Co in the job and turning business
on Waterloo street.

Maria Mangan has engaged in the grocery
business at Grand Haven. John Caulfield
furnished the stock.

Thos. F. Hurst has engaged in the dry
goods business at Alanson. Spring & Com-
pany furnished the stock.

B. D. Paine has engaged in the grocery
business at Tustin. Amos. S. Musselman
& Co. furnished the stock.

Dr. A. B. Broughton has engaged in the
drug business at Cedar Creek. The stock
was furnished by the Hazeltine & Perkins
Drug Co.

Lewis Goldzworth has engaged in the
feed mill business on East Leonard street.
Hester & Fox furnished the boiler and en-,
gine.

The Grand Rapids Portable House Co. has
lately shipped Densmore patent veneer cot-
tages to R. M. Wanzer, Hamilton, Ont; C.
C. Cook, Los Angeles; and Dr. W. H. An-
drews, San Francisco.

Geo. D. Barden and C. D. Cooley, who
recently sold their drug stock at Woodland
to L. E. Benson & Co. have re-engaged in
the drug business at Rosina.. The stock
was furnished by the Hazeltine & Perkins.
Drug Co.

Chas. Wagner, for ten years past in the
employ of C. C. Bailey, at Fife Lake, has
purchased J. D. Williams’ furniture, under-
taking and crockery stock, at that place,
and was in town last week and purchased a
grocery stock of Clark, Jewell & Co.

S. J. Henry & Co., a firm supposedly
consisting of S. J. Henry and R. J. Rosen-
berry, who came to this city about six weeks
ago and engaged in the produce com-
mission business at 16 Crescent avenue, bid
the city an affectionate farewell last Satur-
day evening and left for parts unknown.
The parties claimed to have hailed from
Cedar Hill, Ohio, but the mercantile agen-
cies failed to find any trace of them at that
place, which was regarded at the time as a
suspicious feature. Henry, if such a man
ever existed, spent his time in the South,
soliciting shipments of fruit and vegetables.
Rosenberry also sent out liberal orders from
this end of the route, and succeeded in get-
ting many of them filled. The goods were
sold at cost, and in many cases much below
cost, which has tended to demoralize the
market, particularly on lemons, bananas,
potatoes and cabbage. During the past
week the firm sold several thousand head of
cabbage at $2 per hundred, which must
have cost at least a half more than that, to
say nothing about the freight. As soon as
the first bills began to come due, Rosen-
berry closed out the stock to peddlers and
dealers at any price he could get, hastily
collected the amounts due the firm around
town and skipped. Opinions differ as to
the amount the firm is ahead in the matter,
but competent judges assert that the boys—
if, indeed, there was more than one person
in the swindle—are ahead from $4,000 to
$6,000.

375,000,000.

A company which will employ fifty work-
men is arranging to move to Sturgis and
transform the furniture factory recently
operated by Cutler, Cromer & Co. into a
road cart and carriage works.

B. F. Stockford, of Sturgis, is drawing a
royalty of $5 a day from the Jewell Manu-
facturing Co., of Toledo, on a wrench which
he invented and they are making, . He is a
poor man and richly deserves his good for-
tune.

making extensive purchases.

A prominent lumberman estimates that
D. A. Blodgett has 300,000,000 feet of stand-
ing pine in the vicinity of Cadillac, which
will probably be manufactured at that place.

flies in their season. They have all got the
fever for Green Bay chances.

Pentwater News: Hemlock bark has

send for .farmers whose crops have been
destroyed by drought.

The West Michigan lumber Co. is taking
choice logs from Meadville at the rate of 20
car loads a day, and dumping them into its
store boom at North Muskegon. The
amount to be thus transported during the
season is 6,000,000 feet.

Grand Traverse Herald: Grand Traverse
celery is on the market. If Kalamazoo
could see it and taste it, that renowned cel-
ery raising burg would shake its fists and
howl about Grand Traverse competing with
the world in celery raising.

Four itinerant grocery peddlers were ar-
rested at Lapeer last week for selling goods
without a license, and was convicted and
fined $10 each and costs. The peddlers
were struck dumb at the outcome, but re-
eovered sufficiently to give notice of appeal.

Ovid Union: Vine & Burley are nego-
tiating for the purchase of the vacant lot
between the Retan brick and the meat mar-
ket of H. W. Huntley, now owned by J. C.
E. Gumaer. If they make the purchase
they will erect a brick store on the same at
once and fit up a first-class bakery as well
as grocery and provision store.

John R. Price, formerly engaged in the
jobbing trade at Benton Harbor, is now lo-
cated at 15 Michigan avenue, Chicago,
where he is carrying ona general jobbing
business in groceries and tobaccoes. S. M.
Austin represents him in Northern Michi-
gan and H. L. Toles covers the trade of the
house in the Southern part of the State.

Kalamazoo Gazette: Joseph Dunkley has
gathered his first crop of celery from ten
acres. He pulled the first June 28 and the
last July 23. He had 30,000 stalks which
he sold for 16 cents a dozen. He re-
ceived $4,800, or $480 an acre. He will
raise another crop from the same land this
season. The receipts of the express oflices
for the shipment of celery this month will
be about twice as much as in the same
month in 1885.

M. E. Hoag, a young man of Parma
township, Jackson county, is turning scents
into dollars by means of a novel industry—
skunk farming. He catches the animals in
a steel trap, conveys them in a box toa
building, where he feeds and tames them.
He has some sixty now, and in the fall will
kill all except those he desires for breeding
purposes, selling the oil and fur at high
prices. He is fencing in five acres now for
the business, is thoroughly posted in the
art of tanning, and expects to clear $2,000 a

year at least.

As the moon was slowly rising
*  $She faded from sight afar,
And we traced her gleaming canvas
By the twinkling evening star.

None knew the port she sailed for,
Nor whither her cruise would be,
Her future course was shrouded
In silence and mystery;
She was sailing beneath “sealed orders,”’
To be opened out at sea.

Some souls, cut off from moorings,
Go drifting into the night,

Darkness before and around them,
With scarce a glimmer of light;

They are acting beneath “sealed orders,”
And sailing by faith, not sight.

Keeping the line of duty
Through good and evil report,
They shall ride the storms out safely,
Be the voyage long or short,
Forjthe ship that carries God’s orders
Shall anchor at last in port.

BUSINESS LAW.

 

 

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

é

 

USURY—COMMISSION—INTEREST.
In the case of Landis vs. Saxton, decided
ecently, the Supreme Court of Missouri
1eld that it was not usury for an agent for
loaning money to takea reasonable commis-
sion from the borrower even with the knowl-
edge of the lender, and although the inter-
est reserved to the lender amounted to full
lawful interest.

 

CROPS—LAND RENTED ON SHARES.

Where land is rented on shares the ten- |
ant is the exclusive owner of the entire crop

while growing, and the landlord’s share of
the crops reserved as rent cannot be levied
upon by attachment until the same is set
apart to him. Sorheld by the Supreme
Court of Iowa.

 

CONCEALMENT OF DEBTOR.

In the case of Engel vs. Fischer, decided
recently by the New York Court of Appeals,
it appeared that the defendant, who was a
resident of Austria, there accepted in May,

1873, a bill of exchange payable three} F

months after date. Soonafter he absconded
and came to New York, where he has since
resided. For the purpose of evading his
creditors he concealed himself and lived
under a changed name. In 1883 he was
discovered by the plaintiff, who demanded
payment of the draft, and, upon being re-
fused, brought suit against the defendant.
The defendant set up the statute of limita-
tions, and his defense was sustained by the
court, which held that though the defen-
dant had hidden himself under a fictitious
name, since he was physically within the
state at all times, he could not be held to be
‘-without the state” so as to defeat the oper-
ation of the statute, under the exceptions
contained in section 701 of the code. The
court said: ‘‘A debtor who has always re-
sided within the state may abscond from
his home and conceal himself within the
state from his creditors, and yet no one will
claim that such debtors are to be regarded
as without the state, or that such conceal-
ment will defeat the running of the stat-
ute.”

 

DISCRIMINATION IN RATES.

A common carrier may make discrimina-
tion, in rates based upon the quantities of
goods sent by different shippers, but he
cannot charge a higher rate to shippers who
refuse to patronize him exclusively, accord-
ing to the decision of the United States Cir-
cuit Court for the Southern District of New
York, in the case of Menacho vs. Ward.
The Court said: ‘‘The proposition is spec-
iously put that the carrier may reasonably
discriminate between two classes of ship-
pers, the regular and the casual, and that
such is the only discrimination here. Un-
doubtedly the carrier may adopt a commuta-
tive system, whereby those who furnish
him a regular traffic may obtain reduced
rates, just as he may properly regulate his
charges upon the basis of the quantity of
traffic which he receives from different
classes of shippers. But this is not the
proposition to be discussed. The defen-
dants assume to discriminate against the
complainants, not because they do not fur-
nish them a regular business, or a given
number of shipments, or a certain quantity
of merchandise to carry, but because they
refuse to patronize the defendants exclu-
sively. The question is whether the de-
fendants refuse to carry for the complain-
ants on reasonable terms. The defendants,
to maintain the affirmative, assert that their
charges are fair because they do not have
the whole of the complainants’ carrying
business. But it can never be material to
consider whether the carrier is permitted to
enjoy a monopoly of the transportation for
a particular individual, or class of individ-
uals, in ascertaining what is reasonable
compensation for the services actually ren-
dered to him or them. Such a considera-
tion might be influential in inducing parties
to contract in advance; but it has_no legiti-
mate bearing upon the value of services
rendered without a special contract, or
which are rendered because the law requires
them to be rendered for a fair remunera-
tion.”

Trade Links.

To get a stock and sell it well,

To pick out what is sure to sell,

Is what each merchant, truth to tell,
Is always trying.

But there is many a little link

Within the chain that makes the “chink,”

That goes to what outsiders think
Judicious buying.

 

 

 

 

Perhaps the public’s fancies change,

Or fashion takes a wider range,

Folks call for lines more new and strange
Than you are buying.

They leave you with yourshelves allstocked,

Your future lines of credit blocked,

Your hopes of profit downward knocked,
It’s no use crying.

Now if you in the world are wise,

Dash in at once and advertise

“Goods at alarming sacrifice!"
There’s nothing like it.

Sell out and buy what people want,

And never mind a rival’s taunt,

Don’t stand around and say you can’t:
You’re sure to strike it.

What you want is the ready cash,
Or else there’s bound to be a smash,
You needn’t think it will be rash,
You'll find it better. :
Then, when your shop-worn stock is gone,
And your success is fairly won,
You'll find that A. A. No. 1
Will be your letter.

KINGSLEY IN LINE.

 

Organization of the Retail Trade of that
Town.

In response to an invitation from the bus-
iness men of Kingsley, the editor of THE
TRADESMAN visited that place last Tues-
day evening and assisted in the formation
of an association for protective and defen-
sive purposes. A preliminary meeting had
been held a week previously and the subject
of an organization thoroughly discussed in all
its bearings, so that it required very little
argument on the part of the writer to con-
vince those present at the second meeting
that an organization was desirable. The
meeting was attended by nearly every busi-
ness man in the place, and after deciding
upon the best course to pursue in forming
an association the following gentlemen
stepped forward and signified their inten-
tion of identifying themselves with the
movement: Geo. W. Chaufty, Jas. Brod-
erick, A. G. Edwards, H. P. Whipple, C.
Camp, F. B. Munshaw, E. Moses, M. Ss.
Brownson, Ezra Armstrong and C. Hitzler.

The following constitution was then
adopted article by article and then as a
whole:

ARTICLE I.

We, the undersigned business men of
Kingsley and vicinity, recognizing the nec-
essity of concerted action in dealing with
the dead-beat and other abuses affecting our
trade, hereby agree to organize ourselves
for protective and defensive purposes under
the name of the Business Men’s Protectiye
Association of Kingsley.

ARTICLE II—MEMBERSHIP.

Any legitimate business man who does a
credit business may become a member of
this Association on receiving a two-thirds
vote of the members present at any regular
meeting and paying the initiation fee and
quarterly dues.

ARTICLE IIJ—MEMBERSHIP FEE.

The initiation fee shall be 50 cents and
the quarterly dues shall be 25 cents, payable
in advance.

ARTICLE 1V—OFFICERS.

The officers of this Association shall be a
President, a Vice-President, a Secretary
and a Treasurer, all of whom shall be elect-
ed semi-annually by ballot and shall per-
form the duties usually devolving upon
those officers, according to Cushing’s Man-
ual.

The President, Secretary and Treasurer
shall constitute an Executive Committee,
which shall have exclusive control of the
compilation and publication of the delin-
quent lists.

ARTICLE V—MEETINGS.

The semi-annual meetings of this Asso-
ciation shall be held on the fourth Tuesday
evening of each January and July.

The regular meetings of this Association
shall be held the first Tuesday evening in
each month.

ARTICLE VI—AMENDMENTS.

Alterations or amendments to this consti-
tution may be made on the two-thirds vote
ot the members present at any regular
meeting, providing notice of the same be
given at the preceding regular meeting.

The Association then proceeded to the
election of the officers for the ensuing six
months, which resulted as follows:

President—Jas. Broderick.

Vice-President—A. G. Edwards.

Secretary—Geo. W. Chaufty.

Treasurer—H. P. Whipple.

The Association then voted to purchase
the necessary blanks and envelopes for the
purpose of annilating the dead-beat.

H. P. Whipple moved that any member
trusting a person whose name appears on
the dead-beat list be fined $5, which was
carried.

H. P. Whipple and Ezra Armstrong were
appointed a committee to look up available
meeting places for the Association and re-
pow at the next meeting.

After extending a vote of thanks to Mr.
Stowe for his assistance in effecting the or-
ganization, the meeting adjourned for one
week.

The Association starts out under favor-
able auspices and will undoubtedly accom-
plish much good for the members and the
trade at large. Efforts will be made to se-
eure the co-operation of the merchants at
Summit City, Mayfield and other neighbor-
ing towns.

Probably never inthe history of Cough Med-

which has been showered upon Dr. Pete’s 35-
cent Cough Cure. Thousands of hopeless cases

of Coughs, Colds and Consumption have yield-

this reason, we feel warranted in risking our
reputation and money on its merits. Sold by

1856 and 1886.

Smith Barnes, general manager of the
Hannah & Lay Mercantile Co., at Traverse
City, has compiled a comparative table set-
ting forth the relative purchasing power of
produce and labor thirty years ago and the
present. Tur TRADESMAN regrets that it
has not the space to reproduce the work en-
tire, as it bears evidence of careful and con-
scientious research, but must content itself
with a summarization of the principal fea-
tures set forth in the work. As compared
with 1856, the prices now paid for farm pro-
duce and labor show the following increase
in aggregate percentages:

Buying price of set So aksubibeee bea ssa ri

Women’s sewing per day............--.-2+6- 144
Carpenters per GAay...........2.....ecceececees 63

While everything enumerated in the above
table has sustained an enormous advance,
the selling price of dry goods, groceries and
manufactured articles has taken the oppo-
site course, in the following decreased per-
centages:

Dry goods, I21¢ to 44 per cent.

Clothing, 18 to 63 per cent.

Boots and shoes, 29 to 71 per cent.

Hardware and tinware, 26 to 60 per cent.

Groceries and provisions, 7 to 54 per cent.

Furniture and carpets, 22 to 60 per cent.

Wagons and harnesses, 14 to 38 per cent.

The above showing ought to be sufficient
to put at rest forever any yearings for a re-
turn of the ‘‘good old times before the war.”
It will also be useful as a reminderto the
present generation that the past did not
possess a tithe of the advantages which are
now enjoyed by people in common and that
the opportunities for accumulation on the
part of the producer were never better than
at present.

Todd, the baker, has sold out the Hop-
kins & Sell, who will continue at the old

 

stand.

Westfall & Co., have gone out of bus-
iness and boxed up their drug stock and

The Grocery Market.

Business and collections are fairly good.
Contrary to expectation, sugars have taken
another downward turn, granulated being
now quotable at 6.44. This turn in the mar-
ket is undoubtedly brought about by the
prospect of enormous crops of both cane
and beet sugar. Cheese continues to grow
firmer, oatmeal has sustained another ad-
vance and salmon are marching on in the
same direction.

Candy is steady. Nuts are about steady.
Fruits are about stationery, with the ex-

ception of lemons which are a little higher.
—_——_ >>>

One great disadvantage of direct ship-
ment from manufacturers is, that when
trade is brisk, such orders are sure not to
receive attention till the ready-money cus-
tomers are served. They will fall back on

such orders when trade is dull.

 

The Gripsack Brigade.

Gus. Sharp and wife are spending a wept
at Ryder’s Hotel, Macatawa.

Silas K. Bolles and wife are spending
their fourth season at Macatawa Park.

L. M. Mills spent Sunday with his wife
at Detroit, the guest of L. W. Atkins.

‘A. Friend, late with Fox & Bradford, has
engaged to travel for Landman & Co. cigar
manufacturers at Toledo.

Buck & Kyselka, the Traverse City gro-
cers, have secured a life-like portrait of
Dave Smith, which they contemplate plac-
ing on exhibition in the rogues’ gallery, at
this place.

W. C. Brightwell, formerly salesman for
Spring & Company, has engaged to travel
for Claflin, Larabee & Co., wholesale dry
goods dealers of Boston, covering the Mich-
igan trade.

The annual meeting of the State Division,
T. P. A., will be held at Kalamazoo, Satur-
day, August 28. Special rates have been
obtained on the railways and at the hotels
and a large attendance is looked for.

Jas. Fox and Cass Bradford spent Sunday
with their wives at Macatawa Park. Cass
has always had a reputation for having lots
of ‘‘sand,” but it isnot generally known that
he carries it about in his hip pocket.

Red Headed Dave Smith purchased a car-
load of Indian baskets and canoes on the
occasion of his recent trip to Petoskey, giv-
ing Mr. McOmber groceries in exchange for
the same. The truck wasshipped to Dave’s
brother, who is a fakir on some Western
railroad, and will have no difficulty in dis-
posing of the stuff at a handsome advance
on the cost.

A report came to the city from Macatawa
Park Sunday morning to the effect that Gid.
Kellogg had been severely burned from a
gasoline stove. The report spread like
wild fire and was everywhere received with
rapturous applause. Joy turned to sorrow,
however, when it was learned a little later
that it was Mrs. Kellogg—not the elephan-
tine Gideon—who was suffering.

J. A. Henry, of the well-known firm of
Wm. L. Ellis & Co., oyster and fruit pack-
ers at Baltimore, is in the city for a few
days, the guest of his friend and represen-
tative, B. Frank Emery. Mr. Henry re-
ports the outlook for a good oyster crop as
very favorable, and the same to be true of
fruits, with the exception of peaches. He
will address the Retail Grocers’ Association
to-night, but is as yet undecided whether
to go home by way of Chicago or makea
tour of the Northern resorts.

A Marquette correspondent writes as fol-
lows: For unadulterated gall, 100 per cent.
srrong, I commend the recent actions of
Dave Smith and Herbert A. Filler in this
city. The boys were guests at the Mesnard
House a few days ago and managed to ob-
tain the confidence of the cook in sucha
way as to secure a plate of speckled trout
which were intended for the men who had
spent several hours in whipping the stream
for them. The next morning they repeated
the operation, magnanimously sharing a
portion of the contents of their fish platter
with the other guests at the hotel. Just as
the rightful owners of the speckled beauties
sauntered into the dining room, Smith and
Filler sneaked out aside door and boarded
a passing freight train, to escape the wrath
of the men they had so cruelly wronged.
They did not deem it expedieut to return
for their baggage for three or four days,
when they were assured by the landlord
that for two days after the theft he lived in
momentary expectation of dying at the
hands of the men who had been the victims
of the worst practical joke ever played in
the Lake Superior district.

Cornelius Crawford first saw the light of
this world at Nepoli, Cataragus county, N.
Y., on September 8, 1852. Twelve years
later, he accompanied his parents to Michi-
gan, where they settled on a farm near Kal-
amazoo. Here the youthful pill peddlar at-
tended school winters and followed the plow
and reaper summers. Several years later,
the family removed to a farm at Yankee
Springs, near Middleville, and in the spring
of 1872 Cornelius entered the employ of
Hunt & Hunter, who were at that time run-
ning a branch drug store at Middleville.
The next year he went to Lowell, where he
remained in the employ of Hunt .& -Hunter
a couple of years and also spent a similar
period behind the boxes of the Lowell post-
office. In the fall of 1877 he bought the
drug stock of George Barber, at Caledonia,
continuing the business until April, 1884,
when he sold out to Nagler: & Beeler, and
went on the road for A. N. Wright,
of Syracuse, New York. He traveled all
over the State for two seasons, and on No-
vember 1, 1885, entered the employ of the
Hazeltine & Perkins Drug Co. His terri-
tory includes the towns on the D., G. H. &
M., east and west of Grand Rapids, the
Greenville branch of the D., L. & N., part
of the Michigan Central, the C. & W. M.
from Grand Haven to St. Joseph and the G.
R. & I. as far south as LaGrange, Ind. Mr.
Crawford is a ‘‘hustler,” in the full signifi-
cance of the term, and is bound to make his
mark on the road—a mark many men of
heavier avoirdupois will have difficulty in
matching.

Revolution in the Pail Business.

We shall soon be in the market witha
new wooden pail. It is of ground wood
pulp, pressed into shape and beats anything
we have seen for beauty; and it looks as if it
would be very durable.

Our agents will carry samples of them one
trip over the road.

It is strictly a new thing and will be a big
seller.

Over the Counter. ish the meal in, or to eat without an appe- ORD EF

She stood behind the clouds of lace,

A slender form, a pallid face,

While on the counter’s farther side,

A child of fashion and of pride,

Tossed the dream-like patterns too and fro,

And heaped them up, like banks of snow:

Then asked for added beauties rare,

And toyed with time, and lingered there,

Whilst the nerve-wrought tension set.

Upon the work-worn brow, grew deeper vet,

Ere the idling hour of the idling belle

Had taxed all the toiler’s art to sell—

Leaving naught behind, but a wearied look—

A fruitless effort and a checkless book!

O women who buy, consider, we pray,

The vexations, trials that make up the day,

Of women who struggle, their bread to win,

Midst bustle and noise, and tumult and din!

When resting at home, in comfort and ease,

Give thoughts to those, who unceasingly

please,

Serving not ‘only the public at large,

But burthened with whims, their duties dis-
charge,

Till ov araaned feet, and over-taxed brain,

Throb in vain protest, and clamor in pain.

When tempted at times to trifling delay,

And you know you have bought all you’ll buy
on that day.

Then turn to the toiler, and look in her face,

And thoughtfully put yourself ‘‘just in her
place.”

Secret of Success.

The great and shining example of success
as a working man, Benjamin Franklin, has
left to the workingman of the present day,
in the following valuable sentiment, the
key to the secret of his advancement in life:
“If any one tells you that a workman can
become rich otherwise than by labor and
saving do not listen to him, he is a poison-
er.” In the first place it is necessary to
labor with judgment, intelligence, patience,
perseverance and constancy, In the second
place it is necessary to save. Save what?
To save both time and money. Franklin
saved the wages of his toil and purchased
books; made good use of his leisure time,
studied those books and mastered their con-
tents. Thus by simply persevering, strictly
and firmly, in this, the guiding rule of his
life, he became rich in purse and eminent in
knowledge. By industry and frugality at
all times and in all things, he became a mas-
ter workman, a philosopher, a statesman,
and a sage, and beloved and respected by
all men within the bounds of civilization.

The course pursued by Franklin is open
to every workman in America; the key to
success isin every workman’s hand. If it
fails to admit him to the enjoyment of at
least a reasonable competency, it is because

it is rusted in the lock for want of use.

Mankind’s Mistakes.

It is a mistake to labor when you are not
in a fit condition to do so.

To think that the more a person eats the
healthier and stronger he will become.

To go to bed at midnight, and rise at day-
break and imagine that every hour taken
from sleep is an hour gained.

To imagine that if a little work or exer-
cise is good, violent or prolonged exercise
is better.

To conclude that the smallest room in the
house is large enough to sleep in.

 

 

tite, or to continue after it has been satis-
fied, merely to satisfy the taste.

To believe that children can do as much
work as grown people, and that the more
hours they study the more they learn.

To imagine that whatever remedy causes
one to feel immediately better (as alcoholic
stimulants) is good for the system, without
regard to the after effects.

To take off proper clothing out of season,
simply because you have become heated.

To sleep exposed to a direct draught in
any scason.

To think that any nostrum or patent med-
icine is a specific for all the diseases flesh is

heir to.

Care for Your Eyes.

Keep a shade on your lamp or gas burner.
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never begin to read, write or sew for sev-
eral minutes after coming from darkness to
a bright light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or
on cloudy days.
Never read or sew directly in front of the
light, window or door.
It is best to let the light fall from above
obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that, on first awakening,
the eyes shall open on the light of a win-
dow.
Do not use the eyesight by light so secant
that it requires an effort to discriminate.
The moment youare instinctively prompt-
ed to rub your eyes, that moment stop using
therh.
If the eyelids are glued together on wak-
ing up, do not forcibly open them, but ap-
ply saliva with the finger—it is the speed-
iest dilutant in the world; then wash your
eyes and face in warm water.

The World Must Move.

In 1877, electric lighting by the incandes-
cent system was declared by many to be
contrary to scientific principles. The same
was said of the use of iron, and later of
steel, in bridge building. The Suez canal
was once denounced as a wild and foolish
scheme. Less than 50 years ago educated
mechanics asserted that steamships could
never carry enough coal for a long ocean
voyage. Leading ship builders told us that
iron ships could not swim, and when one or
two floated it was said that they would not
hold together permanently. Rolls for flour
making were once hooted and derided. The
world will not stand still for anyone.
