Y., says: “The clothing industry has been one of the leading features of the city of Rochester for many years. Many of the present firms began business ip a very modest way, but have since developed into some of in the country. So extensive is the in- dustry carried on here that a very large per cent. of the city’s inhabitants are supported by it. Good hands can get plenty of work and demand a fair com- pensation for their labor. One of the oldest firms here engaged in the clothing trade is that of Messrs. MicHAEL KoLB & Son. This concern. was established thirty-four years ago by the senior mem- ber of the firm, and has enjoyed a won- derfuliy successful career. They have for many years occupied their large building at Nos. 135 and 137 North St. Paul street, but for want of more and improved facilities wich better prosecute their extensive business they have resolved to erect a fine, large building in the spring, consisting of six stories above ground, two basements, and with a frontage of seventy-two feet. The structure is to be an imposing one and an ornament to the city, and one of which its owners may justly feel proud. As a further evidence of the prosperity of the clothing manu‘acturers Mr. Kolb states that quite a number are contem- plating building their own houses, which will probably occur during the present year. In this respect, however, he does not propose to be outdone. The business with this house for the past year has been all that could be desired. Sales have been larger, collections easy, and their room Michael Kalb & Sou, MANUPACTURERS, the leading manufacturers | one of the oldest and most reliable wholesale books show a decided inerease over the year preceding. The outlook for the present is even more flattering than it has been for many years past. Although they manufacture a genera! line of goods their specialty consists of a fine grade. In these they are not surpassed, the strictest attention being paid to every detail, and none but the most skilled hands are employed in their manufacture. As a guarantee of the most thorough workmanship and finish being given to goods turned out of this house, it may be stated that the senior member of the firm, Mr. Michael Kolb, devotes his whole and undivided attention to the manu- | facturing department of the establish- | ment, |respo.sible a position which to jon the | this he having been a practical man in the manufacturing of clothing, and is eminently fitted to fill so important and His son, Mr. M. Kolb, attends to the business road. In connection with their manufacturing they also do an extensive jobbing trade, but principally in fine goods. With a long and honorable career firm has established a demand for their goods in almost every State in the Union, and enjoy the most implicit con- fidence and esteem of ail with whom they have dealings.”’ Mr. Tripp, a clothing traveler says: ‘Wm. Connor—There can be no difti- culty selling Kolb’s goods, for they are as staple as flour, and that is why you sell so many.”’ Write our Michigan representative, William Connor, for printed opinions of the leading clothing merchants in Michi- gan.

All summer I stayed in town the Napiers did; and I must say I have the highest opinion of New York as a} summer resort. I could get just as much fruit and ice as I wanted; I could company when I desired it, when I wished to be alone; and, as for the heat, it is my opinion that New York is ten degrees cooler than any of the fashionable watering-places.

He had contracted a very good habit of working and saving, and Claudia was as practical and sensible as she was beautiful, fair to and bade keep him up to his new position, and to supply the commercial element, which was lacking in her husband. I hear a great deal about unhappy marriages, and the failure of the institu- tion altogether to supply what it done for ages, the highest form of peace and love to be found on earth, but | not believe a word of it. It is true lam married, has do much changed since | but L think it is for the better. no matter what my companions say.

My public parlors are full of pictures, but you won't see the two erayon heads among them. ‘They adorn the walls of our private sitting-room, into which no stranger ever comes; for it seems to me} out of all good taste to hang the faces of those you love where every indifferent person may lock upon and criticise them.

Barr. -_ TS Se The Law of Competition. From the Shoe and Leather Gazette. There are public rights involved in the | untrammeled exercise of competition in trade which are being somewhat abridged | by the tendency of the times towards trusts and combinations. Labor first or- ganized for its own protection, and in the victories it won it taught its employ- ers the value of combination. There is a vague and undefined princi- ple of the law known to the courts as the | principle of public policy, and under this principle many contracts are de- clared to be void, which tend in their effect toward the abridgment of full and | free competition. A recent decision of this nature arose over a price fixed by a combination of manufacturers, organized for the purpose of making and maintaining the price of because | and peace | was able to realize quite a| a} _THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. | ' the goods they manufactured. A mer- chant ordered some of the goods from a} | wholesale dealer, and when the bill fol- | lowed he allowed suit to be brought thereon. Where goods are purchased without an agreement as to their price, there is an implied agreement to pay for them their reasonable worth and value, |and the market price is usually accepted | as the measure of the value. In the ease referred to, however, the court refused | | to accept the price fixed by a combina- | | tion which excluded all competition, hold- | ing that, as competition is one of the es- sential factors in regulating what commoniy accepted as a market price, a price arrived at without that element could not be accepted as binding upon | is one who had not agreed toit. And a| |judgment was rendered for what was | shown to bea reasonable value for the goods. If the principle upon which the deci- ; sion rests generally adopted by the courts, it will revolutionize the business | methods of the day. Centralization has |; come so rapidly, and spread so widely, | that,if the prices fixed by pools and com- | | binations organized solely for the pur-} ; pose of making and maintaining rates! are to be denied enforcement in the ;}ecourts, a radical change of business j}methods will follow. But there is a limit to the application of the principle. Another court not long since decided in the case of two| railways which had entered into a pool- ing agreement, that it was not against | public policy for sueh a contract to be| made, provided that the purpose was to prevent ruinous competition and main- tain rates notin themselves inadequate | or excessive. It will be seen, however, that the decision rests, practically, upon | the same principle—that of public poli-| cy- Itis forthe benefit of the public} | that railroads run, and a contract having | |for its object the preservation of the | roads without entailing undue burdens upon the people cannot be said to be against public policy. The principle of the law of competi- tion may be said to be that any interfer- | ence with competition which tends to | make the commodities sought to be econ-} trolled cost more than they would with- | out such invalid contract, while such} jregulation of destruetive competition may be necessary for the preservation of commerce, is valid. But the courts will look with very jealous eyes upon all con- tracts in restraint of competition. oo Pawtucket. pou 10% American fancy.... 5 " rober.... 6 Red Cross.. |Dundie... oo.

The State may prescribe what qualifications it may see fit for State citizenship, but Congress alone can make an alien a citizen of the whole country. It is difficult, in view of what has been said, however, to wherein lies the distinction between the privilege of a citizen of the United States and a citizen of the States. One privilege at least the State could not confer, and that is, she could not give him, as a citizen, a title to those privileges and immunities of citizens of the several States which the federal constitution guarantees and secures.

The deceased was a portly man, weighing about 250 pounds, and had been stopping at the hotel for three days. Thursday night he appeared in good health and, with a friend, spent the evening around the hotel. The friend left for Grand Rapids at 11 o’clock and McCullough, after finishing a cigar, went up stairs to his room. The next morning, when he had not risen at the usual hour the chambermaid upon his door, and receiving no response, gave thealarm. McCullough was found stretched upon the floor by L. A.

CuicaGo, Jan. 16—There are people in this world who would be willing to own Chicago; there are others who would be satisfied with New York; and there are a few hogs who would actually have the cheek to ask for the whole earth: still, none of them have as much cheek as the retail dry goods stores in this country, especially those in large cities. Further- more, most of our retail dealers in dry goods are not only liars, but dishonest in their dealings as well. They make a practice of buying toilet articles, soaps, peifumes, patent medicines and so forth, and then they proceed to advertise them at actual cost in order to draw trade and injure their brother merchants. Men in other lines of trade would not descend to such practices. To further show their dishonesty, there are many dry goods houses who advertise in the daily press certain jines of these goods at a price below cost even, and when you get to their store at nine or ten in the morning they are, of course, ‘‘just sold out.’’ All gone for that day. They simply had a few, and advertised them in the hope of getting people into their net and then selling them something else. This ad- vertising scheme plays the same part that the steerer for askin game of faro does, and there are plenty of such tricky tradesmen in Chicag a great many, too many, in fact. It is no wonder that the retail druggists call meetings and pass strong resolutions condemning the whole- salers for selling goods to these reptiles. Outside of the prescription trade, there is notso much profit in the retail trade that the druggists can afford to be beaten out of their own business and profits by | these unprincipled dry goods houses. | No self-respecting druggist should | handle toilet articles, patent medicines and perfumes that manufacturers sell to | dry goods dealers.

Written for THE TRADESMAN. If a great truth should be stated very calmly, then let it so be recorded that as a salesman 1 was a downright failure, and it was only a short time after 1 com- menced commercial pursuits when I was consigned to that limbo of cast-off-sales- men—the office. Incidentally, we will say that as a book-keeper I did fairly well and when I entered in that capacity the service of a young and rising firm of oil merchants in Chicago, my ability as an accountant was unquestioned. While in that capacity I perpetrated, not a sale, but a purchase which was, at least, unique, and forms a bright spot in the dreary routine of my book-keeping ca- reer. The firm who employed me was composed of two members. The senior partner rather prided himself on being the ‘‘ Kingmixer of the West.’? We will, therefore, call him Kingmixer. The junior member’s name was Wheeler. The ‘*Co.’? was attached for euphony, and there we have the firm of Kingmixer, Wheeler & Co. Alas! Only their final creditors and the records of Dun and Bradstreet can now teli when this fair eraft foundered in the commercial sea and in how deep water this oily concern went down. In my time, they had a good trade and made money, for King- mixer was a shrewd man and, if orders slacked up he would push around town and make trade in one way or another. At that time the head and front of the oil trade was—-we will call him Banks— a big manufacturing concern that over- shadowed all others, Ursa Major in their line on the Board of Trade, whose pro- ducts were the acknowledged standard. On some fine morning Kingmixer sold to a drug five barrels of Banks’ Extra Lard Oil a few cents below quota- tion. He then bought these from Banks, had them carted to our factory, where them, refilled the barreis, de- them and received a check for his bill, slight discount for cash before noon. After dinner, who should come stalking down the quiet street to our office but the great and good Banks in the fulness of his wrath, for he had “got onto’ Kingmixer’s performance. Kingmixer, who espied him coming, thought discretion the better part of valor, and was ‘‘not in,” and on the jun- ior partner’s head the before mentioned wrath was uncorked. When Banks got mad this little earth was slightly indent- ed and quaked perceptibly just where he happened to stand, and nothing less than utter perdition—commercial annihi- lation— not to say future damnation— was threatened for having doped his oil and taken in vain his trade-mark. The terror-stricken Wheeler nearly fainted and the stampede was complete. When the terror was gone, the gloomy silence of despair settled down on the office. The head of the house then returned and addressed me as follows: ‘Capt. M., you must hurry over to Vanpeter’s and house he doped livered less a | get those five barrels of lard oil back as will only | be giving them what they deserve, and | the latter can expect nothing else.

Vanpeter has one prominent trait in his character: he loves humbug dearly, especially when it helps to add to the eredit side of his profit and loss account. He was at his desk and divined my er- rand on the instant, and with the usual childlike and bland smile waved me to a customer’s chair. ‘‘Mr. Vanpeter, have you any lard oil?” I asked. “Yes, I have a lot Winter Sttained, a much do you want?”’ ‘‘T want five barrels and must have it at once.

Please give me a bill and I will fill out a check.”’ By 2 p.m. the emptying of the five barrels into our lard oil tank had oblit- erated the last trace of the transaction. We had made a prompt cash sale in the morning, and so had Mr. Vanpeter in the afternoon. He had quick returns and we had likewise. Wa. MournMANN A The Drug Market.

The good people of Ontario are divided | into two political parties—the Tory and the Grit—and so marked is the line which | separates these two parties in that Prov-| ince of happy and prosperous rural homes, | that even the women and children are all securely anchored on one side or the other of the dividing line. Each of these po- litical factions imagines that the country would go to the ‘“‘demnition bow-wows’? if the other should happen to get a per- manent hold of it, and so there is a con- tinuous strife which knows no rest on the part of each to gain the ascendency and preserve the integrity and save the eredit of the country. And the great anxiety is not confined to the Dominion or Provincial governments, but it carriedinto municipal matters as well. Indeed, so strong is this party feeling that sometimes it is carried into the school section and the election of a trustee made to depend entirely upon the respective number of Tory and Grit votes in the section. It is not often, however, that the good sense of the people allows party politics to dictate in school matters. It is in municipal matters where the people indulge to the greatest extent in political wire-pulling. Tory and Grit sit opposite each other at the Christmas dinner and discuss township and country affairs, criticise and condemn the Tory reeve here and the Grit reeve there, while they pick the bones of the unfortunate turkey and gorge themselves with the dear, old-fashioned plum pudding. An American spending the holidays with these provincial people, is forcibly im- pressed with the earnest and positive manner in which they discuss these local matters. He is impressed with the fact that they are intensely sincere in all they say, and that each honestly believes that the other, if he had control of the town- ship, would carry out a policy which would be detrimenta! to the welfare of the people. He is impressed, moreover, with a certain conviction that, beneath these harsh declarations and vigorously expressed opinions, there is a_ strong undercurrent of fraternal and neighbor- ly feeling. It is well that this is true, for the municipal and school elections come off during the holiday season. It might be as well to explain that each township is ruled over and governed by a minia- ture legislative body consisting of five members. This little house of parliament is elected annually and is called the Township Council. It is presided over by a reeve and oue or more deputy reeves according to the population of the town- ship. The reeves stitute the is and deputy reeves con- “County Council,’? which is the next round the parliamentary ladder. The various candidates are nom- inated at the township ‘‘capitols”’ op the last Monday of the old year and the elec- tion comes off on the first Monday of the new year. On Christmas day the writer nad the pleasure of assisting in picking the bones of a gorgeous brace of fowls at the heavily-laden table of one of these Tory reeves. Around that festive board were assembled Tories and Grits, and the political thrusts and side thrusts did not appear to mar, in the least, the pleasure of the occasion. Areal, genuine spirit of good-fellowship took possession of all, yet party politics runsso high among these people that ‘‘mine host’? would not under in | friend and highly-respected neighbor who | because he was a Tory. any consideration vote for his most honored Grit guest, and no Grit guest on that occasion would vote for the cherished so richly entertained him, for any office— So devoted to party are they that son will oppose father in even these paltry municipal offices. The Canadian people have been fed on | this particular political fodder so long that they have become so _ hidebound that a Tory cannot and will not admit that free commercial intercourse with the American Union would result in any possible good to Canada, and the Grit is just as blind and deaf and dumb as to any possible benefit the ‘‘National Policy,”’ has been in developing the resources of | A Tory will sit all night and | listen with a broad-gauged smile spread | Canada. all over his ruddy countenance while his bombastic Yankee neighbor swings his arms and explodes on the wonderful secret of Uncle Sam’s marvelous great- ness, but let him whisper the word “annexation” and that Tory will give a snort that will start the cold chills up the back of the Yankee and cause him to} raise his eyes toward heaven in a spirit of thankfulness for the early deliverance from his own land of this Tory element. The Grit wants unrestricted reciprocity. | He is a free trader, takes no stock, of course, in the Canadian N. P. and is loath to believe that a protective fiscal policy ever did or ever can materially benefit the States or any other country. A policy embracing annexation is not so objec- tionable to the average Grit as a policy of protection. Unlike the Tory, the Grit will discuss annexation fairly, dispassion- ately and reasonably upon its merits He is non-committal at present, but in the opinion of the writer, the time is not far distant when this great party will come out square-toed for political union with the American Republic. By what has been written above the reader will readily understand the diffi- culty the writer met with in looking up the egg industry and in ascertaining the effect on the same, if any, of the McKin- ley Bill. The Tory egg dealers without any exception will have it that the Mc- Kinley Retaliation Act (as they call it). so greatly feared at first, has actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. For instance, J. B. Hambridge of Aylmer, who has shipped to the Liverpool market 20,000 dozens since the Bill took effect, is quite certain that the English market is unlimited and just as remunerative as the American markets to which he has been shipping eggs for several years. The only facts and figures which Mr. Ham- bridge saw fit to place in my hands, show- ing the result of these shipments, was a letter bearing date Nov. 28, from his con- signee in Liverpool, stating that a certain shipment of 100 cases had arrived in good condition, and a sale had been effected at 7-6 which was a little over 18 cents per dozen. (A quotation from the English | market quoting eggs at 7-6, means that} 120 eggs are worth 7shillings and 6 pence sterling,or about $1.8714) The vast quantities of Canadian eggs which have heretofore been shipped into | the eastern American markets, have not been sent adrift across the briny deep as many suppose. They have not been forthcoming since the McKinley Bill went into operation. True a few shipments | have been made, but the general result | has not been satisfactory. Some ship- | ments made late in the season bore up fairly well but the earlier shipments | | Office, ie 2558 aoa : ; fo ‘ : ;~*~ a i \ s WM t 2 ; W. H. WHITE & CO.

Then and not till then will this mighty, life-draining de- and not till Then and ih | also made to the American markets in| then will Ontario realize her great possi- spite of the duty. mains, however, that the great supply was eut off. Before the McKinley Bill came into operation, London was a large egg- shipping point. W. Robson, who is one of the principal dealers of that city, used to ship thousands of dozens of eggs per week to Buffalo, but the McKinley Bill ruined his business. Mr. Robson said to the writer in an interview had with him recently on this subject that ‘‘every egg which was obtainable was sent out of the country intothe American markets, and that when the Bill went into effect the country was eggless. Then commenced a terrible slaughter of hens.’’ Mr. Robson says that for every 100 hens that used to lay eggs and cackle in the townships lying arcund the city of London, there are to day only 20. If this be the case all over the province the McKinley Bill has destroyed four-fifths of Ontario’s egg industry. I hope Mr. McKinley will not see this article for he is a conscientious man and the knowledge of having been the cause of such a wholesale slaughter of innocent lives; of the wringing of so many delicate necks; of the grief and disapointment caused in so many happy homes by cutting off the great prolific source of supply of pin money for thou- sands of Canada farmers’ wives—would cause a great black cloud of remorse to rise up and obscure the sun of his happi- ness forever. newly-laid eggs at 18 cents per dozen, and great crisp, juicy Northern Spy apples, such as the province of Ontario alone can produce, at only 25 per bushel. And this McKinley tariff bill, which has virtually ruined their egg trade, crippled the barley, pea, hay and vege- table trade, was adopted (so these mis- guided, intensely loyal but unpatriotic Tories say) by this great American Con- gress for the premeditated express pur- poes of spiting the British Provinces and coercing and forcing them into the Amer- ican Union. These Canadian manipu- lators of red tape and old fogyism are such wonderfully inflated toads in the little puddle where they strut about with their cocked hats and gaudy trappings and quite overawe the little pollywogs around them, that they overlook the fact that the Congress of the great Republic legislates exclusively for the people of the great Republic. With just a word or two in behalf of Ontario, I will close this first article in the new year, trusting that the reader will forgive me for wandering far away from the usual commercial Jand marks. The Province of Ontario stands pre- eminently at the head of all common- wealth whether on this continent or else- where. She stands at the head in the average yield of all the staple cereals ex- cept corn. She leads in live stock, and she stands at the head of any state in the Union, agriculturally, educationally and socially and morally. Her resources are inexhaustible, her people are of the very best and were she cut out of the Dominion and added to the galaxy of in- dependent nations which constitute this great American Union, she would be the banner state and 100,000 of her exiled sons would return to the land that gave cents so The writer feasted on fresh | | speed the day, | But the cold fact re- bilities and take her place among the free commonwealths of the world.
