The third convention of the Michigan Business Men’s Association convened at Music Hall, Flint, on Sept. 6. The conven- tion was called te order by President Ham- ilton, when Rev. H. 8. White invoked the divine blessing. John C. Dayton, Mayor of Flint, welcomed the members of the As- sociation to the city, in the following terms: Officially by appointment, and personally by inclination, I welcome you to the freedom and hospitality of the city of Flint, assuring you that if your sojourn with us affords you the same measure of gratification that your coming gives to our citizens, you can at the close of your. session truthfully say it is Well to tarry within our gates. I express the unanimous sentiment of our people in extending to you our welcome, and bespeak for you a pleasant, harmonious and _ profit- able session. L. W. Sprague responded to the address as follows: In behalf of the Michigan Business Men’s Association, I sincerely thank the good people of this enterprising and beau- tiful city for the cordial welcome they have, through their honored Mayor, extended to this representative body of Michigan bus- iness men. Although by name we are known as the Business Men’s Association, we by no means arrogate to ourselves the business capacity of the State. Indeed, we recog- nize the fact that as tradesmen we repre- sent but apart and that a minor part, of the business talent of our people; and we freely concede to every man who is obe- dient to the demands of civilized society, wins his bread and meets his just obliga- tions by honest effort, the unquestioned right to the title of business man. Not all whose names are enrolled as members of this Association do so well as this, I fear, while thousands, aye, hundreds of thou- sands whose names do not appear do far better; all of which proves the truth of the adage, ‘“There’s nothing in a name.” An idea has gone forth, I regret to say, through the influence of demagogues and shysters (whose only stock in trade is false- hood and deceit), and gained some credence in certain quarters, that this Association has been organized in opposition to the la- bor organizations that have been springing up about us in the recent past. Nething could be further from the truth (whichis a parliamentary way of saying that it is ab- solutely false). Indeed, as intelligent men, the members of this Association recognize the value and importance of thorough or- ganization for every good and perfect work. To organization, weak and humble, almost insignificant in its beginnings, do we owe the all-powerful, all-pervading, Christian civilization of to-day. To organize is to ar- range and establish the various and eon- flicting parts into a united and harmonious whole, to the end that influence and power may be concentrated. Therefore, organiza- tion means advancement in a given direc- tion, and if the motive is good the results cannot be otherwise. Organization in the past has made na- tions powerful and great in the best sense of the term. It led their armies to certain victory. It built pyramids and erected Chi- nese walls. It routed ignorance and over- turned despotism and established liberty. In more recent times it has peopled conti- nents, converted the wilderness into a gar- den, built cities, erected schools, churches and asylums. It has wiped out the curse of slavery in our own land, and it will wipe out the curse of intemperance. It tunnels mountains, bridges rivers, and spans conti- nents with parallel bands of iron. Again, it scales the hights and fathoms the deep, to encircle the earth with a thread of gos- samer, along which speeds that subtle fluid conveying our slightest whispers to the ut- termost parts of the earth. Indeed, organ- ization is not alone the lever and the ful- crum—it is the rest for the fulcrum, as well. It moves the world, and, what is more, it moves it in the right direction. ‘True, its upward and onward course is re- tarded by ignorance and accelerated by in- telligence. And just so surely as intelli- gence and enlightenment are superior to and more powerful than ignorance, just so surely will organization of every class and character tend in the main to universal good. That organizations like our own or the various labor organizations may err and at times make progress in the wrong direction goes without saying. But that we or they or any other can long make headway in that direction against the resistless spirit of progress, that, like a torrent, sweeps down upon us, is inconceivable. No, gentlemen, the Business Men’s Association in no way antagonizes. the organization of laboring men, and why should it? We recognize the advantage of organization by organiz- ing ourselves. We bélieve that it will result in good to them and we believe that it will result in good to ourselves, for we are almost wholly dependent upon the success of labor tor our own success. The tradesman cannot thrive while labor lan- guishes. If work is plenty and wages are high, we have increased sales and in- creased profits, and then with the laborer we experience the benefits of business pros- perity. If work is scarce and wages are low, the end of the year shows the balance on the wrong side of the ledger, and a series of such years brings bankruptcy. In this fact we find strong incentive to do what we can to improve the condition of the laboring men, for past experience teaches that a majority of us will before we die be again relegated to the ranks of labor, from which we were recruited, sader and wiser men; and our places will be filled by those who to-day as laborers are making the best possible use of their talents in their respec- tive callings. Therefore, in the name of the Business Men’s Association of the State of Michigan, I say Godspeed to or- ganization of every kind that is for the advancement of mankind, that increases the happiness of all people, that is, all except the dead-beats. ‘They get along very well without organization. And this brings me to a declaration of our purpose and aim as an Association. As tradesmen, our business frequently re- quires us to extend accomodation to our customers, in other words, to give credit, to trust. A very large majority of our custo- mers appreciate this accomodation and meet their requirements in a manner en- tirely satisfactory to us; but in every locali- ty there are some who secure a precarious living by abusing the confidence of every merchant who trusts them. ‘These are the class we term ‘‘dead-beats,” aud this is the class we are after; hence this Association, which aims by united action and by mutual information and assistance to so determine who are not entitled to credit that those who are deserving may experience no diffi- culty in securing that accommodation to which, as truthful and honorable men, they are justly entitled, Again | thank you, Mr. Mayor, for the kind words you have spoken of our Asso- ciation, and thank your people for their proffered hospitality; and I trust that as business men we may so conduct our deliberations as to merit the continued re- spect and esteem of all good people. President Hamilton then introduced Wm. H. Coughtry, President of the Retail Mer- chants’ Association of the State ef New York, who brought the greetings of his As- sociation and the merchants of his State, and expressed the hope that the cordial re- lations existing between the Associations of the Empire and Wolverine States may con- tinue and grow deeper until the work of organization assumes an international char- acter. President Hamilton then read his annual address, which was given in full in last week’s paper. The address was_ greeted with applause at the close. Secretary Stowe made his annual report, which was also given in full last week. The Secretary read the report of the Ex- ecutive Committee, which has already been given in these columns.

The report was adopted. The Committee on Transportation pre- sented the following report, which was ac- cepted and placed on file: To the M. B.

(Concluded from First Page.) committed to the Legislative Committee for action in 1887-8; also, that said Committee be authorized to inquire into the expediency of having the bill so amended as to apply to all persons in the employ of the State and in the employ of counties, townships, cities and villages. Under the present law great injustice is done to many innocent creditors, in the fol- lowing manner: A married man asks credit for goods for the maintenance of his fam- ily, and is allowed to run up a bill of $50. The debtor refusing to pay, the creditor at- tempts to collect, but is at once confronted with the fact that the account is in the name of the husband, while the property— supposed to belong to the husband—is vested in the wife, thereby rendering the creditor powerless to collect thedebt. This is so rankly unjust that the law should be changed so that not only law but equity should have a voice. A slight alteration in the law would make the property, whether vested in the husband or the wife, available for debts of this character. The Commit- tee recommend that this subject, also, be intrusted to the Legislative Committee for future action. The subject of pure goods, as is well known, is attracting a great deal of atten- tion throughout the country. Your Com- mittee are of opinion that the General Gov- ernment will some time deal with this problem just as it has with that of oleo- margarine. It will not prohibit the manu- facture of all adulterated goods, because ssome such goods are harmless; but it will / insist that the public shall know just what itis buying. Until the General Govern- ment shall enact a law applying to its entire territory, Michigan should enact a law that shall protect her own citizens. Your Com- mittee thoroughly believe that it is not so much absolute purity that people want, as it is absolute truth. If a purchaser prefers a mixture of chickory and coffee to pure, unadulterated coffee, he ought to be al- lowed to buy it. On the other hand, no manufacturer or merchant should be allowed to sell the former for the latter. The law should require every manufacturer or packer to label his productions either ‘‘pure and wholesome,” or ‘‘adulterated with whole- some ingredients,” such label to bear con- spicuously the fac simile signature. It is recommended that the foregoing sub- ject, together with that of the suppression of gift schemes, be referred to the Commit- tee on Trade Interests, with instructions that they draft bills that will mitigate, if not eradicate, the evils inflicted on the health and morals of the public, and at their convenience forward such bills to the Committee on Legislation for their presen- tation to the Legislature of 1889. Lastly, your Committee naturally regret that they have not been permitted to make amore creditable showing, and that they have failed to accomplish at least one of the important principal objects that they hoped to attain. Still, they feel that they have not labored in vain. Their experience has been of personal value, and they earnestly hope that it will not prove wholly valueless to the Association. In order in the future for your Committee to do prompt and effective work, certain changes must be made. Its Chairman must be a resident of the city of Lansing, so that he may be able frequently to visit the Capitol. This will enable him to gradually form a valuable ac- quaintance among the members and the employes of the respective Houses, which will render access easy, and the approach to business interviews (so necessary to suc- cess) a pleasure rather than an ifksome duty. There is no disguising the fat that it is a thankless task for one person to en- ter either House to secure the attention of members to whom he is entirely unknown. Occupied with their own duties, possibly some other time would suit. their conven- ience better; but your Chairman being a non-resident, the dety, if done at all, must be done at once. These disagreeable fea- tures can be obviated by a resident Chair- man. Further, the associate members of the Committee should be within a short dis- tance, so that when conference for any pur- pose is desirable they can be forthcoming, without neediess expense or unnecessary loss of time. It is also important that bills should be regularly drafted ready for pre- sentation to the Legislature, and that they should be in the hands of your Committee at least sixty days prior to the opening of the Legislature, so as to enable the Com- mittee to become conversant with all neces- sary details and to present them at once, thereby securing a favorable place on the calendar. Petitions deserve special men- tion, and are very effective. In the judg- ment of your Committee, they should be addressed to the Senate and House, instead of to the members of said bodies. Local Associations should be thoroughly informed by the Association’s trade journal, THe MICHIGAN TRADESMAN, as to all bills to be acted upon, so that the secretaries of such Associations can correspond intelli- gently with the Senator of their districts and with the Representatives of their counties. There will be several matters of importance to be fought through during the next ses- sion. It will, therefore, in the meantime be necessary to do not a little preliminary work among prospective legislators, which work must not be delayed until the session opens; but just as soon as a person is nom- inated for either Senator or Representative, he should be approached in the interest of the Association, and, if possible, a pledge should be extorted from him to support the measure or measures that the best welfare of the Association demands. It is appar- ent to your Committee, from observation and experiesce, that this course will be wise, and a trial will fully demonstrate the wisdom of the suggestion, for it is well known that a candidate is one individual and an officer elect decidedly another. Wishing every success to their followers in office, your Committee herewith respect- fully submit their report. Wituiam E. Kewvsey, Chairman. President Coughtry, of the New York Association, related the experience of the organizations of the Empire State in se- curing the passage of a law preventing the giving of prizes with goods. Neal McMillan commended the report of Chairman Kelsey, giving his reasons for the defeat of the garnishee bill. He said the Business Men’s Associations of the State wielded a great infiuence in the last Legis- lature, and that he expected they would increase that influence at the next session. Mr. Kelsey combatted the idea that the proposed garnishee law would work injury to the poor man, and cited instances where the present law works injury to the poor man and enables the shrewd but highly-paid delinquent to avoid the pay- ment of his just debts. Frank Wells said that he feared the gar- nishee law would meet the same fate that has always met the attempt to secure legis- lation allowing employes of the State to be garnisheed, and Mr. Kelsey asked Messrs. Wells and Sprague whether they took into considera- tion the numerical growth and increasing influence of the Business Men’s Associa- tions when they stated that it was doubtful whether the garnishee bill could be made a law. The gentlemen affirmed their previously expressed opinion that certain influences would tend to prevent the defeat of the measure. : F. T. Ward and Will Emmert suggested that copies of the bill, concisely stated, be sent out to the newspapers of the State. President Hamilton commended the re- port and the recommendations contained therein. On motion of Frank Wells, the report was accepted and adopted, and a rising vote of thanks tendered the writer. C. T. Bridgman then read a paper on “Mercantile Education,” which was ac- cepted with arising vote of thanks, and ordered printed in the official organ. The paper will appear in a subsequent issue of THE TRADESMAN. Reports of local delegates were then con- tinued in the following order: Lowell—C. G. Stone and N. B. Blain. Sparta—Letter from J. R. Harrison. Ada—Letter from Elmer Chapel. White Lake—W. B. Nicholson. Tustin—F. J. Luick. Freeport—Arthur Cheeseborough. Kingsley—A. G. Edwards. Dimondale—N. H. Widger. Oceana— E. S. Houghtaling. These reports are all equally as favorable as those given at the morning session. Letters of regret were read from Gov. Luce, Hon. G. J. Diekema, Henry B. Baker, Victor C. Vaughan, John A. Har- baugh, Percy F. Smith and A. Mansfield, when the meeting adjourned until evening. EVENING SESSION. On reassembling in the evening, the Com- mittee on President’s Address asked further time to report, which was granted. F. L. Fuller presented the report of the Committee on Secretary’s Report, as fol- lows: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Conven- tion: Your Committee, appointed to consider the Secretary’s report, would respectfully submit the following: We commend the financial management of the Executive Committee for its wise and judicious disbursements of the very small amount of funds placed in its hands during the past year. In regard to the compilation of the de- linquent lists, your Committee would re- spectfully recommend that the lists already published by the Secretary be compiled in compact form and distributed to the local associations as soon as possible. Viewing with pride the number of suc- cessful Business Men’s Associations organ- ized by our‘ honored Secretary, Mr. E. A. Stowe, during the past year, your Commit- tee would recommend that Mr. Stowe be appointed State Organizer for the coming year, and that he receive for each associa- tion organized a fee of $5 and his necessary traveling and hotel expenses, said fee and expenses to be paid by the association formed. While we heartily indorse the Secretary’s report in the main, your Committee would recommend that the Executive Committee elect either the President or Secretary as a delegate to attend the State conventions of other States, and that all expenses so in- curred be audited by the Executive Com- mittee. All of which is respectfully submitted. ‘. FULLER, G. A. SAGE, W. C. Pierce, Committee on Secretary’s Report. N. B. Blain moved that the report be adopted. R. W. Kane asked whether the compilation of delinquent lists referred to in the report included the local lists as well, and, when informed to the contrary, moved as an amendment that the local lists be included in the compilation. The amendnient was voted down and the orig- inal motion adopted. The Secretary then read the report of Chairman Barnes, of the Committee on Trade Interests, which was given in full. in last week’s paper. On motion of Mr. Blain, the report was accepted and adopted, and the writer tendered arising vote of thanks. W. E. Kelsey offered a resolution that the Committee on Trade Interests be re- quested to look into the question of adul- terated goods and ascertain whether such adulterations are injurious, with a view to reporting the facts ascertained to the Com- mittee on Legislation. E. A. Stowe moved as a substitute the following resolution, which was adopted : Resolved—That this convention put it- self on record as unqualifiedly in favor of goods of standard purity and strength, full count, full weight and full measure, and that we, as business men, agree to practice what we preach, by refusing to handle any goods not up to the standard. ’ Park Mathewson, of Detroit, read a pa- per on the subject, ‘‘Can goods be success- fully sold for ready pay?” which was ac- cepted with thanks. The paper will ap- pear in these columns later on. An invitation was received from the Flint Mercantile Union, tendering the dele- gates to the convention a ride around the city at 1 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. The invitation was accepted with enthu- siasm. The meeting then adjcurned sine die, and the Michigan Business Men’s Association, as an unincorporated body, ceased to exist. WEDNESDAY MORNING. On assembling Wednesday morning, the meeting was called to order by Frank Wells, when Rev. H. S. White invoked the divine blessing. Frank Hamilton was then made temporary Chairman, and E. A. Stowe was selected to act as Secretary pro tem. On motion of Frank Wells, the Presi- dent appointed a Committee on Constitu- tion, as follows: W. E. Kelsey, J. F. Clapp, R. D. McNaughton. Chairman Kelsey was ready with his report, which was read and adopted by sections, some sections occasioning extended discussion. But few changes were made from the orig- ‘inal draft, as previously published in these columns. F. L. Fuller attempted to secure an amendment to ‘the constitution providing for the appointment of a standing Commit- tee on Building and Loan Associations, but an amendment providing for a special committee on the same subject was adopted. N. B. Blain moved that at future conven- tions of the Association all reports from local associations be put in writing and turned over to the State Secretary for pub- lication in the proceedings. The motion was adopted. Election of officers being next in order, N. B. Blain moyed that the Secretary cast the unanimous ballot of the Association for Frank Hamilton for President, which was adopted. Paul P. Morgan was elected First Vice-President, and S. Lamfrom Second Vice-President. The convention then adjourned until afternoon. AFTERNOON SESSION. From 1 to 3 o’clock p. m., the delegates were given a pleasant drive around the city, including a fine view of the Deaf and Dumb Institute and the residence portion of the city, and calls at the water works and woolen mill. On returning to the place cf meeting, J. P. O'Malley, in behalf of the Manistee Business Men’s Association, asked the State body to hold its next convention in Manistee, promising that the delegates would not be allowed to pay hotel bills or other incidental expenses. F. L. Fuller moved that the President cast the unanimous vote of the Association for E. A. Stowe for Secretary, which was adopted. L. W. Sprague was. elected Treasurer by ballot, when the Executive Board was completed by the election of G. W. Hubbard, of Flint ; Irving F. Clapp, of Allegan; and W. E. Kelsey, of Ionia. Chairman Kelsey, of the Committee on Constitution, presented the draft of local constitution and by-laws, as frequently printed in these columns, which was adopted as presented. W. E, Kelsey presented the following resolution, which was adopted : Resolved—That it is the sense of the Michigan Business Men’s Association that every member of every local organization belonging to said State Association should, in the case of all delinquents borne on said member’s books, promptly and faithfully use all the authorized agencies of the State Association for the collection of delinquent accounts, especially the Blue Letter, the record furnished by the local secretary, and the letter designated Number 2, to be issued by the said local secretary; and that it is further the sense of said State Association that the threat embodied in letter Number 2—‘‘Every member of this Association is pledged not to extend a dollar of credit to you till this debt is paid”—shall be consid- ered binding, and that every member shall abide by and on his honor faithfully carry out said threat. R. W. Kane moved that an official notice of the change in the form of State and local constitutions and methods be sent out to all local bodies in the State, which was adopted. The Committee on Blanks presented the following report, which was accepted and adopted: ap ae President and Members of the M. B. GENTLEMEN-- Your Committeeon Blanks, to whom was referred the revision of the present system of collection blanks, would respectfully report that they have had the same under consideration and recommend that the following changes be made: ‘That the word ‘‘Incorporated” be inserted under the title line of the Blue Letter and Notification Sheet; That the line ‘‘Auxiliary to the Michigan Business Men’s Association” be changed to read, ‘‘Chartered by, and auxiliary to, the Michigan Business Men’s Association;” That where associations so desire, a stub be used in connection with the Blue Letter, and that the sheets be bound in book form, so that the Secretary or Actuary can tell at a glance whether the member has lived up to the rules of the Association in reporting persons who pay no attention to the Blue Letter. We also have the pleasure of presenting a blank application for the use of local as- sociations in applying for charter and aux- iliary membership; a form for a charter and a form for blank articles of association, to be used by local associations in completing the act of Incorporation. Respectfully submitted. JAS. OSBURN, H. H. Popr, E. A. STowE, Committee on Blanks. Hon. M. T. Cole, of Palmyra, then read a paper on ‘Mutual Insurance,” which was received with applause and a vote of thanks, and will be given in full in a fu- ture issue of THE TRADESMAN. F. L. Fuller delivered a stirring address on the subject of ‘‘Building and Loan As- sociations,” which was accepted with a rising vote of thanks. Frank Wells; chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, presented the following re- port, which was adopted : Resolved—That our meeting in this city of pleasant streets and beautiful homes has been both agreeable and profitable, and that it has greatly increased our appreciation of the accomplishments and aims of our or- ganization. Resolved—That our thanks are due and are hereby tendered to the local committee of the Mercantile Union of Flint, whose efforts have contributed so greatly to our comfort and pleasure; to the gentle- men who so kindly placed their equipages and time at the service of members of the Association, thereby enabling them to ob- serve something of the extensive manufac- turing and business enterprises of this city; to Mayor Dayton, for his many aets of courtesy; to the fire department, for their creditable exhibition; to the Warren Cigar Band, for a delightful serenade, our thanks are also tendered; to the Mercantile Union, of Flint, for aiding us in bearing the ex- penses of this meeting, we are under obli- gations which we can express more elo- quently by gastronomic feats at the ban- quet to which, through their munificence, we have been invited this evening, than by any words we can frame. FRANK WELLS, NEAL McMILLAN, H. CHAMBERS, Committee on Resolutions. R. W. Kane moved that the expenses in- curred by the President and Secretary dur- ing the past year be audited by the Execu- tive Board, which was adopted. H. B. Fargo invited the Association to hold its next annual meeting at Muskegon. H. Chambers invited the Association to hold its next meeting at Cheboygan, accom- panying the verbal invitation with the fol- lowing written address : Mr. President and Gentlemen: The Business Men’s Association of Che- boygan unanimously and cordially invite you to select for the place of meeting of our next annual convention the beautiful, enterprising, healthy and growing metrop- olis of the North. In extending to you this invitation, we deem it our duty to give you some reasons for thinking that. Cheboygan should be en- titled to the honor of entertaining your honorable body at your next annual meet- ing. Our city, as you all know, is situated on the beautiful Straits of Mackinac, which have a world-renowned notoriety for being the most healthful summer resort in these United States, visited during the summer months by thousands of people from the Southern, Eastern and Western States. Weare sixteen miles only from the Island of Mackinac, sometimes called the Fairy Isle, which is justly noted for its natural curiosities, beautiful carriage drives, mag- nificent hotels, forts and fishing. This beautiful spot can be reached from our city nearly every hour of the day by water or railway. The transportation facilities to our city are second to none in our State. From the western portion of the State we are reached by the G. R. & I. Railway, the Northern Michigan steamers and_ the Traverse City and Mackinac Island steam- ers; from the southern and central portion of the State, by the Mackinaw Division of the Michigan Central Railway, the tri- weekly line of steamers from the Saginaw Valley to Cheboygan and Mackinac Island, and the magnificent palace side-wheel steamers City of Alpena and City of Mack- inac, running from Detroit to Mackinac in thirty hours, stopping at Port Huron, Sand Beach, Oscoda, Alpena and Cheboygan. The fare from Detroit to Cheboygan and return is $6, giving you at a trifling costa ride on the beautiful lakes and rivers of Michigan. From the Northern Peninsula, we have the Detroit, Mackinac & Mar- quette Railway and its branches; the Du- luth, South Shore & Atlantic; the Sault Ste. Marie daily line of steamers, and the Manistique, St. Ignace and Cheboygan steamers. And right here, gentlemen, allow me to suggest that if you expect to ever get our Upper Michigan business men interested in this organization, you must meet them half-way, at least. There are cities of con- siderable importance in Upper Michigan, viz: Sault Ste. Marie, Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Houghton, Hancock, Calumet, and many others not necessary to mention here, all of which we are confident will be with us in this good work, if, as we said before, you will encourage them by meeting them half-way. Again, gentlemen, if you draw a line across the State from Saginaw City directly westward to Lake Michigan, you will find that a majority of the local associations and a very large majority of the membership is north of that line, which should be another very substantial reason for holding your next annual meeting in our city. Again, gentlemen, twice have you held your meetings in a western city, and the present meeting in a southern city, giving to Grand Rapids the head and shoulders, to the beautiful city of Flint the body—now do, please, let us have the tail. Again we invite you to come. Bring your wives and best girls along, and rest assured that if you do come we will use you right. Combine pleasure with the bus- iness of our State Association. Aim to live well and be happy. If such you seek for, we have nothing to fear regarding your acceptance of our invitation. Allow me to say, in conclusion, gentlemen, that we have abundance of food in our little city—I board there. L. W. Sprague moved that the next an- nual convention be held at Cheboygan, the time to be selected by the Executive Board, which was carried. The convention then evening. adjourned until : EVENING SESSION. The first thing taken up at the evening session was the report of the Committee on President’s Address, which was presented by Chairman Blain, as follows: Your Committee, to whom was referred the President’s address, after a very careful review of the same, find it a very difficult matter to add to or take from it, in any par- ticular; but we would call your especial at- tention to the following points therein con- tained, as worthy of the most careful con- sideration: The great necessity for the success of any organization is that we work and by no means known to this Committee can the in- terests of the State and local bodies be more rapidly advanced than by subscribing liber- ally for our official organ, THe MICHIGAN TRADESMAN, and following out the princi- ples therein contained. The suggestion of holding annual picnics and social banquets is a good one and those bodies acting upon the same will find great good will come therefrom. We must work and work together if we desire the success of our organization. The matter of early closing should be handled with descretion and, in localities where it is practical, we would heartily recommend its adoption. We deem it a matter of great imporiance that all local bodies should apply at once for a charter and connect themselves with the State Association, for it is well known by all that in union there is strength. The recommendation relative to sending delegates to the conventions of other State bodies should receive your hearty support, for by an interchange of ideas are we large- ly benefited. While there are many other suggestions and recommendations worthy our especial notice, we will not take this time to con- sider them, but would urge upon every member present that when you retuin to your respective homes you may ponder them well, and may our motto ever be ‘*Ex- celsior.” Our worthy President has well said ‘‘Michigan stands at the head in min- erals, lumber, salt, and cereals,” and may her Business Men’s Association be second to none. All of which is respectfully submitted. N. B. Bua, S. LAMFROM, PAUL P. MorGan, Committee on President’s Address. The report was accepted and adopted. Additional reports from local associations were received as follows: Grand Rapids—Thos. Keating. Wayland—W. H. Schuh. Hastings—E. Y. Hogle. Grand Haven—Jacob De Spelder. Battle Creek—Geo. H. Rowell. These reports were quite as favorable as those which preceded them. Two telegrams were read by the Presi- dent from S. C. Moffatt, of Traverse City, Stating that illness would prevent his leaving home to address the convention. On motion of J. F. Moloney, H. Cham- bers, of Cheboygan, was selected to act as Local Secretary in making the local ar- rangements for the next convention. The President announced the following standing committees: Trade Interests—Smith Barnes, Traverse City; C. T. Bridgman, Flint; H. B. Fargo, Muskegon. Legislation—Frank Wells, Lansing; W. E. Kelsey, lonia; Neal McMillian, Rockford. _Transportation—J. W. Milliken, Traverse City; Jno. P. Stanley, Battle Creek; Wm. Rebec, East Saginaw. Insurance—N. B. Blain, Lowell; E. Y. Hogle, Hastings; O. M. Clement, Cheboy- gan. Building and Loan Association—F. L. Fuller, Frankfort; S. E. Parkill, Owosso; Will Emmert, Eaton Rapids. W. B. Nicholson asked whether railroads should be held responsible for breakage and damage to goods while in transit. LL. N. Fisher stated that as station agent at Dorr for several years he had been able to get many claims audited for the mer- chants of that town and that since he had engaged in the mercantile business himself he had found no difficulty in getting all just claims audited. L. W. Sprague said he had never ex- perienced any difficulty in getting correct claims allowed. N. B. Blain said he had found it better to refer the claims to the jobber from whom the goods were purchased, as the railway cflicials always treated the jobber with more consideration than they did the retailer. In closing the labors of the convention, President Hamilton said he came to the convention determined to shift the respon- sibility to other shoulders, but the condi- tion of the Association, now in a transi- tion period, coupled with the expressed wishes of the delegates, had caused him to change his mind. He gave fair warning, however, that he would not accept a third term. He spoke of the benefits incorpora- tion would bring to both State and local as- sociations and implored the delegates to give the work increased effort and enthus- iasm, that when the next convention occurs the same degree of progress may be noted that has been made during the past year. The Association then adjourned for a year, unless sooner called together by the Executive Board. THE BANQUET. Of the enjoyments attending the banquet, Tue TRADESMAN regrets it is unable to speak in detail. It was prepared by the la- dies of achurch society and surpassed any- thing of the kind the Association has ever been treated to. It was given in Armory Hall, which was canvassed and decorated for the occasion, while the tables groaned under beautiful flowers and delicious refresh- ments. The delegates and invited guests marched into the hall to the music of the Flint City Orchestra, and when all had been seated and Rey. H. M. Curtiss had invoked the divine blessing, ‘Toastmaster Kelsey in- vited his friends to partake of the good things set before them, of which the follow- ing affords a conception: MENU. Boiled Sugar Cured Ham. Roast Turkey, Celery Dressing. Beef Tongue, Sliced with Parsley. Spring Chicken. Spiced Veal. Shrimp Salad. Chicken Salad. Salmon Salad. Olives. Cucumber Pickles. Mixed Pickles. Cocoanut Cake. Chocolate Layer Cake. Baskets of Angels’ Food. Orange Layer Cake. English Walnut Cake. Almond Cake. White Mountain Cake. Sponge Cake. Vanilla Ice Cream. Chocolate Ice Cream. Strawberry Ice Cream. Strawberries. Pineapple Jelly. Lemon Jelly. Pyramids of Fruit. Delaware Grapes. Catawba Grapes. Bananas. Peaches. Apples. Pears. Coffee. Chocolate. ‘Tea. The following programme was then ob- served in responding to the toasts: The State Body, Frank Hamilton, Traverse Cy. Our Local Bodies.......... N. B. Blain, Lowell. Greetings from New York, Wm. H. Coughtry, Albany. Early Closing............ Frank Wells, Lansing. Association Picnics, L.W. Sprague, Greenville. The Blue Letter........... . T. Ward, Allegan. The Traveling Man, Geo. W.

Luick, Tustin, Our Guests........ Geo. W, Buckingham, Flint Our Hosts....... Geo. H. Rowell, Battle Creek. The Ladies.................. W.R. Bates, Flint. THe TRADESMAN has verbatim copies of most of the above responses, which it hopes to present next week. All the speeches were good and nearly all were exceedingly bright and witty. Taken as a whole, the banquet was an unqualified success, Following the speeches came a feature not down on the Celery. programme, which THE TRADESMAN pre- fers to tellin the language of the Flin Journal, as follows: The banquet was brought to a close with a pleasant surprise, which was a fitting con- clusion to a most successful meeting, and embodied a deserved recognition of the work of two gentlemen to whom the Michigan Business Men’s Association owes not a lit- tle of its high character and standing among the important organizations of the country. The surprise was the presentation of a hand- some ebony gold-headed walking stick to President Frank Hamilton, and a beautiful silver service tea set to Secretary E. A. Stowe. The walking stick and tea set bore appropriate inscriptions, and were present- ed in behalf of the State Association by L. W. Sprague, of Greenville, and R. W. Kane, of Charlevoix, respectively. ‘The re- cipients were taken completely by surprise, but managed to express their thanks for the honor paid them in fitting terms. Thus was brought to a happy close one of the most en- joyable and successful social gatherings ev- er held in this city. seis NOTES BY THE WAY. The Flint papers are entitled tomuch credit for the completeand generally correct manner in which they handled the conven- tion. The local representatives of State papers did not do themselves or the subject justice. One of the pleasant features of the con- vention was an unexpected serenade on Tuesday evening by the Warren Cigar Band of sixteen pieces. The boys acquitted themselves splendidly and were richly en- titled to the many encomiums they received. Robert M. Floyd was expected to the con- vention and was down to respond to ‘*The Ladies” at the banquet. Being unable to come, he telegraphed as follows: ‘‘Greet- ings and congratulations. Deeply regret my inability to be with you. Though ab- sent from your banquet I do not forget my toast, ‘The Ladies,’ God bless them. ‘They protect us in infancy, guide us in childhood, love us in manhood and comfort us in old age.” Toastmaster Kelsey again placed the As- sociation under obligations to him for the thoroughly acceptable manner in which he presided at the banquet table. bardware.

It sticks to the vines and Finishes the whole crop of Potato Bugs with one applicaiion; also kills any Curculio, and the Cotton and Tobacco Worms. This is the only safe way to use a Strong Poison; none of the Poison is in a clear state, but thoroughly combined by patent process and machinery, with material to help the very fine powder to stick to the vines and entice the bugs tc eat it, and it is also a fertilizer. ONE POUND will go as far as TEN POUNDS of plaster and Paris Green as mixed by the farmers. Itis therefore cheaper, and saves the trouble and danger of mixing and using the green, which, needless to say, is danger- ous to handle. Bug Finish was used the past season on the State Agricultural College Farm at Lansing, Michigan, and, in answer to inquiries, the managers write: “The Bug finish gave good satisfaction on garden and farm.’”’ Many un- solicitated letters have been received prais- ing Bug Finish. Barlow & Star, hardware dealers at Coldwa- ter, Mich., write as follows under date oj May 14: “We sold 3,100 pounds of *“*Bug Finish” last year. Itis rightly named “Bug Finish,” as it finishes the entire crop of bugs with one appli- catiod. We shall not be satisfied unless we sell three tons this year, as there is already a strong demand forit. Please send us ten bar- rels (3,000 pounds) at once.” Guaranteed as represented. Cheaper than any other Mixture used for the purpose. MANUFACURED BY the subject we are to consider.

The hand of mercy iights the past But hides the future ill; It tempers every stormy blast, And bids us onward still. Whatever cloud may darkly rise Or storm may wi'dly blow, Whatever path before us lies, "Tis better not to know. Our friends may falter, one by one And leave us to our fate, If but the staff we lean upon May still support our weight— Unconquered by a dream of ill, Unburdened as we go, The storm may break beyond, but still, ’Tis better not to know. If faith in human constancy Be but a dream at best; If falsehood turk where love should be, Yet in that dream I'm blessed: ° If warning of a coming wrong Cannot avert the blow; If knowledge fail to make me strong— ’Tis better not to know. And if within my brother’s heart A buried hatred lies; If frievidship be an acted part, His smile a cold disguise— The knowledge would each blessing dim And nota boon bestow— Ah! leave me still my trust in him, ’*Tis better not to know. —— A Little of the Law of Partnership. When a partnership is formed for a defi- nite period it is dissolved by the expiration of that period. The death or insanity of any partner op- erates as a dissolution. The conviction of a partner on a criminal *charge, and sentence to imprisonment for life dissolves the partnership. If one partner becomes individually in- solvent, and makes an individual assign- meat for the benefit of his priyate creditors, the partnership is thereby dissolved. Each partner is expected to give a reason- able amount of his timeand attention to the business of the firm. In case of his refusal or neglect to do so, the other partner or partners may ask for a dissolution and then re-organize without him. Between the partners themselves the pro- visions of the articles are binding, and are the measure of the rights of each member of the firm. But they are not binding upon third persons who have dealings with the firm, unless the articles are shown to them, or they are aware in some way of their ten- or. Partners are trustees for each other as among themselves, while they are agents of each other as to third persons. As trustees, therefore, everything they do must inure to the benefit of the firm. No partner can take advantage of his position as partner to ob- tain any private gain for himself. The test of a partnership is a community of interest, an agreement to share both prof- its and losses, and a right to a voice in the direction of the affairs of the firm. As a rule, no partner can sue his copart- ner on any matter connected with firm af- fairs, as long as the partnership continues. He can, however, sue for any private or dis- tinct debt. Each partner isageneral agent, with broad powers to act for and bind the firm. Each partner has the power to buy and sell goods, and to assign any or all of the property of the firm. Each partner can borrow money, and give promissory notes of the firm as security for the loan. He can compromise or release debts due the firm without the knowledge or consent of the other members. He may pay any debts due from the firm in full, even if it takes all the assets of the partnership. The authority of a partner is confined to the general scope and custom of the busi- ness. While he may sign notes or checks and accept bills of exchange, this must be commercial paper in the ordinary course of the business of the firm. He cannot bind the‘firm by a note in favor ofa private or in- dividual creditor in payment ofa private debt, withont the consent of the other partners. Nor can one partner issue accommodation paper; that is, sign the note of another firm or individual, as surety or indorser, in the firm name, so as to bind the other partners, without their knowledge and consent. In such a case, the partner signing would be personally liable, but not the firm. One partner cannot alone execute and bind the firm by any instrument under seal, except the release of a debt. All the part- ners must execute deeds and mortgages of the partnership property, powers of attor- ney, etc., in order to make them valid. The partnership creditors are entitled to be paid their debts in full out of the assets or property of the partnership before the in- dividual creditors of any one partner can claim anything. re -@-

_< Combination of Strawboard Manufacturers. Two years ago there was formed in Ak- ron, Ohio, the Union Strawboard Company of the United States. In it were included manufacturers representing 95 per cent. of the strawboard made in the country. The product of the twenty-five factories repre- sented was sold to the syndicate, and by it a fe of. The directors of the syndicate power to shut down all the factories for of ten or twenty days. In spite of these restrictions upon production there was a constantly increasing surplus. So it was finally decided to propose to some eight or ten of the companies represented to sell out their plants. The mills selected are the least favorably situated in the matters of water transportation and the purchase of Prices are agreed upon, aggregat- The factories remaining in operation are those which had the best Sates advantages for making strawboard, which were best nd which were best situated f dated. and w or straw and for making their product. } Merchants Stationery.
