Before the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association. Gentlemen of the Michigan State Pharmaceu- tical Association. The remarks and suggestions i have to make on this occasion will occupy your val- uable time but a few minutes. I desire to tender my hearty congratula- tions upon .the auspicious circumstances, under which this Association meets this year. When two years ago a comparative- ly few earnest men met at Lansing, and determined upon organizing a State Phar- maceutical Association, their most ‘Sangu- ine expectations fell far short of the mag- nificent success of this society, and the bril- liant achievement so soon to be recorded in the statute books of the State. For years a State pharmacy law was thought of only asa dim possibility. The futile efforts made by our lamented name- sake and predecessor in former years, only served to make the prospect of success more shadowy and remote. But there came a time when the druggists of Michigan were aroused from their lethargy. Organization had secured legislation in many other states; Michigan was being made the receptacle for the sweepings of her more fortunate neigh- bors; pharmacy was being degraded by the contact; education without regulative legis- lation was esteemed as good enough for vis- ionary enthusiasts, but hardly worth the serious attention of a practical man of busi- ness; professional competency was also a very desirable thing, but it was regarded as too expensive a luxury for busy money- making druggists, who found that it rarely yielded a satisfactory cash equivalent. The situation excited the apprehensions of all interested in the welfare of pharmacy in Michigan. Our beloved State, they declar- ed shall not be the refuge of the charlatans and incompetents of other states; Michigan must maintain her high educational rank in the array of states, and pharmacy shall be honored with the dignity of legal recogni- tion and protection. The forees of progress were duly martialed, and after a stubbornly contested fight in the Legislature, the vic- tory was won by the enactment of a law which for completeness, strength and effic- iency will, we believe, be found to be with- out an equal in the country. Though the bill passed through a tremendous fire, but a single section was materially injured, and this section, although it permits great lati- tude to general dealers in the sale of certain drugs, is emphatie against any person call- ing himself a pharmacist or dispensing a prescription, unless he be actually register- This is the essence of the legislation demanded, and with it the law cannot be regardud otherwise than as a_ triumph for progressive pharmacy. Messrs. Brown, Wells, Jesson, McDonald, Alsdorf, Gun- drum, Davis and Engelhard, representing the druggists of Michigan at the capital, were an array in themselves, and are entitl- ed to much praise for their eminent services. To His Excelleucy, Governor Alger, to Lieutenant Governor Buttars, to Senator Huston, Speaker Clark, Representatives Ford, of Grand Rapids, Bardwell, of Plain- well, Collins, of Detroit, and Wilson, of Mushegon qd Dr. Shorts, of Mason, we also owe a debt of gratitude for their unfailing counsel, encouragement and support. A small cloud appeared on the horizon soon after the passage of the act. Though the State Board of Pharmacy is specifically directed to report annually to the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association, the con- dition of pharmacy in the State, this provis- ion will probably have to lie in in abeyance until the next session of the Legislature, owing to the tact that the Association can- not be incorporated under the general law, a special act being necessary. Under the circumstances, I would recommend that proper measures be taken at the earliest practicable day to give the Association a legal existence by incorporation. The inconvenience incident to conforming to the latter part of article three of the by- laws of this Association, requiring that ap- plicants for membership ‘‘shall subseribe to the constitution and by-laws before the end of the next annual meeting,” has tended to repel such applications, as this requirement is at the best perfunctory and useless. 1 would recommend that it be stricken out, leaving the article to read simply ‘‘The in- itiation fee shall be one dollar, which shall be paid to the secretary.” The value of an interchange of fraternal greetings, of thought and experience, between the var- ious State Associations, especially those re- lated to each other as neighbors, requires no argument. Nothing so tends to delvelop thought, to stimulate emulation of what is wise and beneficial and to strengthen the profession and trade with unity of purpose and action, as an extensive experience which looks beyond mere local confines and takes account of what outside localities are say- ing and doing for the promotion of the com- mon good. The wisdom, therefore, of sending delegates from this Association to other state associations and particularly to those of Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and In- diana needed but a suggestion to meet my unqualified approval, and I therefore recom- mend that such delegates be appointed. ed. The apprenticeship system, or rather, the the want of any system, for the selection of those who enter the business young, has the greatest bearing upon the prospective eleva- tion of pharmacy in a professional sense. In ane countries in the old world where a regular system has been adopted, we find the professional status of pharmacy of a correspondingly high order. In the United States, and more especially in States like our own, when pharmacy laws have been only recently enacted, the selection of ap- prentices has beenasa rule governed en- tirely by circumstances, and the qualifica- tions of the applicant are rarely taken into consideration. That this is a grievous error is apparent to any one having the best in- terests of the profession at heart. While we know that in all branches of trade and purely commercial pursuits, young men with the most meagre education have fre- quently attained greater success than those who have enjoyed the best of collegiate training. Yet pharmacy is of that semi- professional character which makes de- mands upon both business capacity and ed- ucational attainments, and in the degree that these are properly combined, will suc- cess be achieved. Only those who early in life have been denied the advantages of a good education, and who afterwards have realized their short-comings can form an adequate idea of the many difficulties with which this class have to contend. In phar- macy comprising many branches of science, a general understanding of which, at least, is necessary, those not qualified or trained to become interested in such knowl- edge, soon lose all interest in the business as a profession, until they come to regard itasa mere mercantile undertaking and frequently through various expedients, sim- ilar to those in other trades, namely, selling cheap goods, cutting in prices, ete., attempt to make a financial success, where from a professional standpoint they are a failure. Such is, in short, the history of many who have entered pharmacy as abusiness. Rea and substantial advances can only be made when greater care is bestowed upon the se- lection of those who themselves are not in a condition to judge whether they be qual- ified or not. I would therefore recommend that this Association and its members in- dividually as far as practicable endeavor to sarefully discriminate in selecting young men to learn the business—that only such persons who have enjoyed the advantages of at least a common school eduéation be admitted—that persons who have studied the higher branches, including Latin, so essential in the study of pharmacy, be given the preference in the employment of appren- SO tices. Ina great many instances young persons engaged in pharmacy, spend the few years of their apprenticeship without cemmencing any study in asystematie man- ner. Having leisure time, they arrive at the conclusion that when their time is up they will attend a school pharmacy and that then they will commence study in earn- est. Thus three usually the most valuable of a life time pass away with- out any special advancement. Aside the direct influence this inert period on a young mind, in general, it also prevents him from deriving the benefits from the instrue- chool of phar- ‘ ot or four years, from exer- cises indirectly greatest possible tion when he finally enters as macy. There, during the first term or more, he is compelled to devote -his entire time to studies he should have learned in the store, and, asa in the limited time allotted to the full course, the consequence, necessarily more advaneed studies are more or less neg- lected. Sudying in the store during spare hours, in the évening, ete., should therefore be encouraged, and it is recommended that employers lend them help, and afford all possible instruction to their clerks. It is also believed that any moderate expenditure the employer may go to in providing works on pharmacy, will be appreciated, and that like bread cast upon the waters, it will come back to them ten-fold. It is with consider- able pride that we can point to an institu- tion ih our own State, which in thorough- ness of instruction, and in the high charac- faculty, compares advantageously older institutions. The School - of our State University at Ann ter of its with much of Pharmacy Arbor was the first pharmacy which required an entrance exam- ination. Any recommendation from me to the pharmacy of this State concerning the school of pharmacy would be entirely un- necessary, but I hope that it will be the am- bition of every young person engaged in pharmacy in the State, to avail themselves of the advantages afforded by this institu- tion. In this connection I desire to call the at- tention of those, who from various circum- stances, are unable to take a course in this schooi, to the possibility -of self-instruction at home. The ordinary text books, dispen- satories, ete., fot being suitable for system- atic study, a course of instruction by print- ed leetures, and mailed to subseribers, and alternating withwritten recitations embracing various branches of the science of pharmmacy is being presented with great suecess by the National Institute of Pharmacy at Chicago. Druggists in business, who, by reason of competition, legislative enactments or other aueses, feel the need of a systematic course institution of teaching ° 'in my devotion to the interests of this Asso- of study, will find these leetures of great | service. The desirability of adopting a national formulary, containing unofficinal formulas for the most common pharmaceutical pre- parations, has received considerable atten- tion. At the last meeting of the American Pharmaceutical Association, in Pittsburg, the formulary compiled by the pharmaceuti- cal societies of the cities of New York and Brooklyn, was tendered for publication as the proceedings, and the joint committee, of which Dr. Chas. Rice, of New York, is chairman, was delegated to complete the work by such addition as may be necessary. The state associations were invited to con- stitute such formulas not already incorpor- ated, as may be deemed desirable in their respective states, the formulary then, after final revision, to be adopted at the next meeting of the American Pharma- ceutical Association as a _ national work. This invitation has already been accepted by the Illinois Pharmaceutical As- sociation, who have instructed a committe to report upon such formulas as may be deemed desirable for incorporation. This strikes me as avery good plan. The diffi- culty hitherto has been not so much a want of formulas, as lack of uniformity, and the necessary feature can only be secured by having a national standard authority. With the desire to see the Michigan State Phar- maceutical Association represented as a con- tributor to this formulary, I recommend that a committee of five be appointed or elected to report upon such formulas as may be desirable in this State, not already incor- porated in the work, and that the joint com- mittee of the National Pharmaceutical As- sociation be requested to receive such re- port, also that two or three pharmacists who are in close communion with each other, go over the formulas of the New York and Brooklyn formulary with a view of suggest- ing any improvements their experience may dictate. Among the propositions before the Na- tional Retail Druggist’s Association, at its recent Pittsburg meeting, was the adoption of measures to secure the removal of the in- ternal revenue tax on alcohol used in the manufactures and the arts, and another to secure the removal of the $25 annual federal tax on druggists as retail liquor dealers. The first proposition appears too chimerical at present to merit serious notice, but the second appears far from impracticable and would seem only to require a firm and unit- ed demand for repeal, to secure that result. The tax is not only an insult to all respect- able pharmacists who have no thought of doing other than a réputable business, and who therefore resent the governmental im- putation of their being dram-shop keepers, but it is opposed to every principle of equity and right. AS a war measure, it was orig- inally fully justifiable, but its perpetuation in times of peace in the face of an overflow- ing treasury, is wholly indefensible. I sug- gest that a speciai committee be appointed from this Association to co-operate with the committee of the National Retail Druggists Association having the matter in charge. A subject whicl would ap- pear to interest only such ove as are ar the jobbing 1at first sight located in or ne r cities, is that of retailing by The practice is one frought with much loss and great in- justice to retail druggists everywhere. The city retailer finds himself in many iustances forced to compete in prices with hi from whom he naturally has aright to pro- tection, by every principle mereantile equity. Retail druggists in the sinaller towns far distant from the jobbing center, feel effects of the evilina marked degree also. Their customers more or less often visit job- wholesalegs. ; jobber, of bing cities and in various ways become con- versant with jobbing prices. Thus values throughout the State become demoralized, and the meager net profits of the drug business are subjected to greater some action be condemnation of more or less shrinkage. I suggest that taken expressive of our wholesalers entering into competition with their own patrons.

Adulterated Spices. From the New York Sun. The greater part of the spices sold in New York City are adulterated. Adulteration has become an art in which the knowledge of science and the ingenuity of trade are free- ly exercised. are debased for pecuniary profit by adding to them inferior or spurious articles, or by taking from them one or more of their constituents. The ob- jects of adulterations are to inerease the buik or weight of the article, to improve its appearance, to give it a false strength and to rob it of its most valuable constiuents. The practice has grown with the competi- tion of trade, and in spite of severe laws prohibiting it. People know so little about can be adulterated with very s of discovery. An expert, however, can tell itat once. Mr. Wm. D. Bennett, the head of the spice department ofa said: “To be sure of adulteration, only to loook at the price lists issued by firms which sell spices. The price of a ground article is often less than that of the unground article, which absurd on its face. Unground pepper cannot:-be sold less than fourteen cents a pound, and yet we find ground pepper offered for five or six cents a pound. Ground ginger is offered? for five cents a pound, while the unground is eight eents. This means that the ground spice has been heavily adulterated with cheap material. Some firms go se so far as to advertise adulterated ey the law by calling them compounds. Pure spices spices that they slight chances grocery firm, one needs is some goods, and ade ‘*Black pepper is adulterated with a sub- stance called pepper dust from cocoanut shells, and also with buckwheat hulls, char- coal, white meal, and mustard bran. Co- coanut shells, when ground up very fine, are used very generally as an adulteration of spices, as there is no taste to interfere with the flavorof the spice. Buckwheat hulls, otherwise worthless, are a source of profit to millers, as a half cents chareoal gives a black pepper.” Mr. Bennett put a sample of the best Mal- aga pepper beside a quality of black pepper. The Malaga pepper could readily be distin- two and The to the they are worth for adulteration purposes ppt ap} arance guished because of its lighter color. Mr. Bennet mixed some white meal with the common pepper and it became so like the best pepper that it could hardly be told apart. “You see,” he said, ‘‘that I have not only adulterated the pepper,, but I have to all appearances improved its quality. ‘*‘White pepper is adulterated with white meal, terra alba and rice flour. Ter- ra alba is fine marble dust, and en- ormous ‘quantities are exported from Italy for purposes ot adulteration. Gyp- sum, sand, stareh, mustard, husks and various kinds of imeal are » used for adul- terating pepper, but not to sv great an ex- tent as the things Ihave mentioned. Cay- enne pepper is adulterated with white meal, Venetian red, and salt, the three bein; rround together. The sait gives a brighter color to the red, which is itself a poisonous article. This doctrine is practic don Afri- can pepper, a dull red pepper, worth only eight cents a pound, in order to bring it up to the brilliant color of Natal Ps ‘pper, worth thirty cents a poand.

THE DRUGGISTS’ CONVENTION. The convention of State druggists, which convened at Detroit last week, was remark- able for the number in attendance, the reputable standing of those who took part in the proceedings, and the scope and var- iety of thessubjects diseussed. It is seldom that a three days’ session draws out so many interesting discussions, and it is even more seldom that a convention composed of necessarily opposing minds accomplishes its purposes with so little clashing of opin- ion. One reason for the apparent good na- ture which was so noticeable during the con- vention was undoubtediy the self gratula- tion indulged in over the enactment of a pharmacy law, and the prospect of the good results which are sure to follow in its wake. But in the absence of a better general ex- planation, it is to be inferred that the phar- macists of Michigan are content to lay aside their differences, and work as a unit for the advancement of their profession. Of the suecess of the Association, there is no lon- ger any doubt; nor are the predictions to the effect that the Association would decline as soon as a pharmacy law. was enacted, likely to be realized. A total membership of 690—making it the largest Association of the kind in the United States—ineans 1,000 members one or two years hence, which en- sures the success of the law as well as the Association. To THE TRADESMAN it appears that there is room for improvement only on one | point—the elongation of the programme re- lating to trade interests. seem, there was only one paper akin to that subject read, while papers of scientific and professional interest could be counted by the dozen. Nothing said in this connection should be construed as reflecting upon such men as Prof. Prescott and Dr. Lyons, whose | work has given Michigan pharmacy a world- wide reputation; but without curtailing their work in any respect, it is to be questioned whether more time could not advantageous- | ly be given to papers and discussions relating to those business interests which more near- ly affect the pocket books of no inconsidera- | ble number of those in attendance. THE TRADESMAN mentions the matter merely in a suggestive way, and will not feel slighted if the subject is considered in a different light by the majority in attendance at the next meeting. The next meeting of the Association will be held in Grand Rapids, at which time the Valley City will have an opportunity to ex- hibit that spirit of hospitality which has been many times tried and never found wanting. TRADESMAN is that those in attendance at the next convention widl be welcomed as cordially as they have been at Detroit dur- ing the past two years, and that the meet- ings may be equally fraught with pleasure and profit. And if such is not the case, THE TRADESMAN is no prophet. a NE EE ST The especial affection of a mother for a defective or deformed child finds its parallel in the attachment felt by the inhabitants of | the most wretched countries for their own land. The patriotism of an Italian is as nothing to that of an Icelander. Michigan- | ders are not half so proud of their State as | are the people of Massachusetts. And the seanty fisher population along the bleak and misty shores of Labrador cling to their country, in spite of the offer of their gov- | ernment to find them a more congenial home elsewhere. This winter they are sure to have another of the famines which have so often thinned out their few thousands. But they will not leave Labrador under any in- ducement. The Washington correspondent of the Detroit Free Press notes that ‘the office which Messmore fondly hoped to win has been given into other hands and he wears an unnaturally subdued expression.” It begins to look as though the administration was posted as to Messmore’s character—or, rather, lack of character—and that all his boasts as to the probability of his carrying a federal commission in his pocket were naught. The appointment of a horse thief early in the season seems to have unduly encouraged Messmore in his aspirations. Strange as it may | The most sanguine hope of THE | F. H. Holbrook replies to Tur TRADES- MAN’s recent references to his article on ‘“‘Muskegon’s Future” in a second article in the Muskegon News, in which he goes over the ground previously taken, supplement- ing the same with several additional points pertinent to the subject. That Muskegon has a future in store for her, no one ac- quainted with the place will attempt to deny; but any prophesies to the effect that she is to be the commercial and manufac- turing metropolis of Western Michigan are not likely to be borne out by facts. No rep- kegon her monopoly of the lumber business, or the financial prosperity which has attend- ed such monopoly. Neither would Grand Rapids people dislike to see Muskegon oc- cupy the proud position Mr. Holbrook pre- dicts for her, for they have confidence in the growth and stability of their own town, and realize that every advance step taken by a sister city cannot fail to aid in the growth of Grand Rapids. Chicago was as nothing in comparison to what she is now until the country for hundreds of miles in every di- rection was developed, and the appearance of such cities as Grand Rapids, Des Moines and Minneapolis has augmented her growth and importance, instead of retarding them. The same will prove true as regards Grand Rapids. The larger the surrounding towns become, the ‘larger Grand Rapids will be, and it goes without saying that she will hold the same relative position to Muskegon fifty years hence which she does to-day. SS eS England threatens to absorb the other half of Burmah, on the plea that King Theebaw has been intriguing with the French, and even that a recent treaty has been signed, of which Lord Dufferin is said to have a copy. The overthrow of such a bloody-minded des- pot as Theebaw would not excite much com- miseration. Yet there are worse things than a bad king, and one of these is the reign of opium, impoverishment and starvation which England has set up in southern Burmah in the name of christian civilization. Her own officials depict the country as deeaying both morally and industrially since its annexation to her Indian Empire. a TTS The annual address of President Crouter, of the Michigan State Pharmaceutical ASSO- ciation, printed on the first page of this is- | sue, is worthy of the hearty applause be- stowed upon it at the close of the reading. Its comparative brevity, the pointedness and | pertinence of its suggestions and the gener- | al utility of its recommendations commend it to the attention of druggists everywhere. } RE | esa | The drug clerks of Muskegon have pre- 'eeded the proprietors in a movement for organization, thus setting an example which | the employers would do well to follow.

A drummer sold a bill of goods to a Texan merchant under an agree- | ment that he would not sell any like goods to other merchants of the town, but his cus- tomer should have the sole handling of such goods for his firm. The agreement con- tained a stipulation that, if the goods were sold to other merchants the customer need not pay for his goods. The drummer after- ward did sell like goods to other dealers. Thereupon the merchant refused to pay his pill. The house which employed the drum- mer pleaded that the agreement was not made by them; was not in accord with their instructions; was not by their authority; and that it was against public policy as tending to restrict commerce, and, therefore, unlaw- ful. The court held that theagreement was within the drummer’s authority; and that its violation by the house forfeited their claims and released the merchant from his obliga- tion to pay the bill. The court said that, while an agreement in general restraint of ‘trade is void, an agreement which ‘‘oper- | ates merely in partial restraint of trade is ' good, provided it is not unreasonable and there be a considération.” | A.

[wish to say in reply to | the statement which appeared in a recent | issue to the effect that the T. P. A. seems | to be in the throes of dissolution, is a mis- | take and detrimental to its interests. The | Merchant Traveler, the ex-ofiicial organ, is | very sore—so much so that one cannot touch it in any place but what it cries out 'with pain, or in other words, ‘“‘kieks.” | When I see the interest taken by traveling men who are willing to join and wno are joining, I am assured that we are coming | out of a chaos which has purged aud cleans- ed the Association. The kickers are going. That is what we want. The “Lion” of | Kentueky has taken the same stand he did at Buffalo, ‘I object, I kick.” In the last two months I have not found five men who ‘favor Cincinnati, and I have met many |Ohio men. I meta gentleman from Ohio, and he said: ‘We are solid. We pay no attention to the Merchant Traveler. Chi- i eago is the right place.” Now, boys, just look straight ahead. Do your duty, and we ‘are a power. I sent in twenty-one applica- ‘tions week before last, and have nine more, ‘seven of which joined at once at the Sheri- ‘dan House, South Bend—two of them from } \ | Ohio. Now, as for a secret society, that is ,all bosh. We have enough of them in this ‘country. We have four objects in view. Let each one put his shoulder to the wheel, and we can show the world what can be done; and let me say right here, the travel- 'ing man who sits back and waits for the | Association to accomplish somthing and then steps in and gets the benefit, is not wor- | thy to become a member of the Association | and ought to be debarred from joining us.

A MERCANTILE JOURNAL, PUBLISHED EACH WEDNESDAY. E. A. STOWE & BRO., Proprietors. Office in agle Building, 49 Lyon St., 34 Floor. Telephone No. 95, ———— {Entered at the Postofice at Grand Rapids as Second-class Matter.1 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1885. BUSINESS LAW. Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts of Last Resort. RIGHT OF DEBTOR TO HOMESTEAD. That a debtor uses land and cultivates it is not sufficient to entitle him to a home- stead in it, but he-must live upon it, accord- ing to the decision of the Kentucky Court of Appeals. é FRAUDS—ASSIGNMENT LEASE. A contract wherein the assignee of a leasehold agrees as part of the consideration of the sale and transfer of that interest to pay rent to the owner of the fee is not with- in the statute of frauds, according to the de- cision of the Supreme Court of Indiana. STATUTE OF OF EMPLOYMENT——ORDINARY RISKS. A person takes the ordinary risks ofa dangerous employment in which he con- tinues although he was hired for a different and less dangerous business and was put in- to the more dangerous business against his protest. So held by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. The court said that the question had never been passed upon in the commonwealth before. DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENT FOR CREDITORS—FRAUDU- LENT INTENT. An assignment for the benefit of creditors empowered the assignee, in case he deemed it for the best interests of the trust estate, to operate a store, sell merchandise on time and replenish the stock with goods of his own, and authorized him to sell publicly at any time any portion of the stock he might think best. The Kentucky Superior Court held that the terms of the assignment did not give evidence of a fraudulent intent. CONSTITUTIONAL LAW—PRIVILEGES IMMUNITIES. A state statute requiring citizens of other states to procure a license to sell trees shrubs or vines that may be sold by its own citizens unlicensed is in conflict with Arti- cle LV., section 2 of the Constitution of the , United States, which provides that ‘*The " citizer is of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.”” So held by the Supreme Court of New Hampshire. AND RECEIPT OF DEPOSITS BY BANK. The case of Cragie vs. Hadley, decided by the New York Court of Appeals, was brought to recover the proceeds of certain drafts deposited by the plaintiff, in the usual course of business, with the First National Bank of Buffalo. At the time of the depos- it and for some time previous the bank was in an insolvent condition, a fact which was well known to the president, who had the entire control and management of the affairs of the bank, and of which the other officers could not have been ignorant without the grossest inattention to its affairs. The drafts of the bank had gone to protest on the day before the deposit was made and on the day following it closed its doors. The court held that the acceptance of the depos- its under those circumstances constituted such a fraud as entitled the plaintiff to re- claim the drafts or their proceeds, and that neither the creditors of the insolvent bank nor its assignee in bankruptcy had any equity to have the plaintiff's «property applied in payment of the obligations of the bank. INSOLVENT CONTRIBUTION IN GENERAL AVERAGE. The case of The Brig Mary Gibbs—Stand- ard Sugar Refinery vs. Swan et al. —decided in the United States Circuit Court at Bos- ton, arose upon a libel brought by Swan and others, owners of the brig Mary Gibbs, to recover from the appellant, as owner of the cargo of sugar on board, a general average contribution for sacrifices claimed to have been made of the vessel’s imaterial for the common benefit. It appeared that the brig with a cargo of surgar on board, while pros- ecuting a voyage from Sagua la Grande for Boston, encountered a heavy gale, and cer- tain wrecked materials were cut away, for which the libellants sought for general av- erage contribution. The Circuit Court, af- firming a decree of the District Court, held that the appellant, as owner of the cargo, was liable to contribute in general average for the material composing the wreck cut away, and that in adjusting the loss the value of the material was to be estimated, subject to the usual deductions of one-third new for old, as if it were then in the port of destination, but in all other respects in the same condition as when cut away. ——_—_—__—--9 <> “Homespun.” From the Boston Commercial Bulletin. The great demand just at present for “homespun” dress goods for ladies’ wear has been a god-send to the trade in coarse wools. ‘These had been sadly neglected for some years past, but flannel mills every- where have gone to making homespun. dress goods, and the result will be an improve- ment in the price of low-grade flannels and all other fabrics made from coarse wools.

Growth of the United States. The following statistics, compiled by the Boston Traveler, shows the growth of the eountry since the year 1860: Twenty-three years ago We were 30,000,- 000 of people; now we are over 50,000,000. Then we had 141 cities and towns of over 8,000 inhabitants, now we have 286 of such cities and towns. ‘Then the total popula- tion of our cities, was over 5,000,000; now it is about 12,000,000. Our coal mines then produced about 14,- 000,000 tons a year; now 85,000,000 tons a year, or six times as much. The iron product amounted to 900,000 tons of ore; to-day it foots up over 8,000,000 tons a year, almost a nine-fold increase. In 1860 our metal industries employed 53,000 hands, consumed about $100,000,000 worth of material, and turned out about $170,000,000 in annual products. To-day these same industries employ 300,000 hands, consume $380,000,000 of material, and their annual product amounts to $460,000,000 a year. In 1860 the wood industries employed 130,000 persons; to-day they employ 340,000, while the value of their annual product has trebled. The woolen industry employed 60,000 per- sons then, and now employs 160,000, while our home mills which produced goods to the value of $80,000,000 in 1860, now turn out an annual product worth $270,000,000. Finally, there is cotton. In 1860 we im- ported 227,000,000 yards of cotton goods; in 1881 we only imported 25,000,000 yards. In the meantime the number of hands em- ployed in American cotton mills has in- creased to 200,000, and we export over 150,- 000,000 yards of cotton goods a year, in- stead of importing 227,000,000, as we used to do. The silk industry employed 5,000 persons; now it employs about 35,000, sevens times as many. We import no more silk goods now than we did in 1860, but our own mills, which produced goods of the value of $6,000,000 then, now turn outa product of 40,000,000 yearly. In 1860, 12,000 persons were employed in American pottery and stoneware works; to- day about 36,000 are employed in this in- dustry. The chemical industry which employed 6,000 persons then, now employ 30,000. Inthe meantime we have nearly five times as many miles of railway, and double the number of farms, and yielding more than double the number of bushels of cer- eals. In the production of sheep we had 22,- 000,000 in 1860; to-day we have 40,000,000 of them; and whereas, we then produced in this country 60,000,000 pounds of wool, now we produce 240,000,000 pounds. Finally, the total of our exports has doubled. In 1880 it stood at $400,000,- 000, and now it stands at about $900,000,- 000. The Eastern Potato Crop. Exhaustive reports to the New England Homestead from 700 correspondents indicate that the potato crop of New England and New York is fully one-third below the aver- aye and a trifle smaller than last year. The acreage is about the same asin 1884, when it was 15 per cent. below a full average. Digging will be generally completed this week. Bugs have not been as destructive as usual, but the ‘‘scab” is every year be- coming more and more prevalent, until this season a large portion of the crop is not smooth and fair. Late potatoes have rotted to a large extent in western and northern Vermont and the shipping counties of New York state. Washington county, N. Y., which is one of the greatest potato counties in the country, is so affiicted with rot that whole fields are now being plowed under, and some large growers will not have enough tubers for family use. The yield in southern New England is generally light es- pecially in gonnecticut, where rot is report- ed in late patches, as well as in Western Massachusetts. In eastern sections the crop is better, and Maine has nearly an average yield, with not as much rot as in some years. The great potato sections of Aroostook county are turning out better than last year. 0 -@ The Year’s Fisheries. W. A. Wileox, manager of the American Fish Bureau, Gloucester, Mass., writes that this year’s mackerel catch of the American fleet will be at least 100,000 barrels short of that of 1884, and perhaps as much as 125,- 000 to 150,000 barrels short. Importations of mackerel, owing to small size and poor quality, will also prove to have fallen off some 30,000 barrels, while codfish receipts direct from the Grand Bank fleet will amount to 30,000 quintals less than last year. Mr. Wilcox adds that, notwithstanding the duty collected on all foreign-cured fish imported since July 1, prices are quite as low as last year at this time, when no duty was paid, except on the lowest and poorest grades of mackerel and herring, The market is am- ply supplied, at low prices, with all the leading varieties of salt-water fish. —_——_—__—< 0 <— The Big Monopoly. From the New York Tribune. Nobody is very anxious to help the Bell telephone, and the public generally would no doubt welcome some restriction of its privileges if satisfied that such a restriction were legal and just. Nobody would mourn over its misfortunes. It is recognized as an exacting monopoiy, charging enormous prices for a service that is often indifferent. , “OTS 1 Gros Eaton & Christenson Are now in the market with their Famous BIG GUN | OYSTERS, CANNED IN SALTIMORE BY W.

Ntve\Wpper Peninsula Business Men Form- ulate Some Good Ideas. « ‘fie ‘Upper Peninsula Business Men’s @onvention convened at Ishpeming on the 8th. Ste. ‘Marie, was chosen Chairman and H. 0. Woung, of Ishpeming, Secretary. Governor Wkrerwas present and delivered a short ‘ad- diréss. Speeches were also made by Mr. Seymour and Hon. S. C. Moffatt. Hon. J. A. ‘Hubbell of Houghton, 8S. P. Vaughn of \wahtand, and Tim Nester of Marquette, poke at length. Hubbell advocated taking pone thing at a time and that the first ‘Miiag should be the Sault Canal, after that {tye Portage Lake Ship Canal might also be “eonsidlered, but if the Convention attempted ttooimuch the result would not be what Wyaswished for. Nester believed that rail- rfoall questions should also be touched on. Waughn made an eloquent speech, in which 'Wetlearly set forth the necessity of enlarg- ingithe Sault Canal. The United States WEngineers all reported favorably for en- iktygement and declared that it was neces- ssary. The Waterways Convention, which Maalica-session at St. Paul a short time ago, daéfedted its own aims by shooting over the wwork-and demanding too much. The nat- wradlipath of commerce is from east to west ‘ani’return, not from north to south. For ttliis'reason the great lake route is a much imore important one than the Mississippi itiver'route. The Waterways Convention aditSt. Paul indorsed the action of the first Weninsula Convention and advised eiarge- iment of the Sault. Therefore the people of tthe States were practically united in asking tthdt'the canal be deepened. ‘On'the 14th, the following resolution was wynimously adopted: Resolved—That the immediate improve- merit of the Hay Lake channel, St. -Mary’s (River, and the construction of new locks 'poth'to the depth of 21 feet as recommend- eeiliby Gen. Poe, of the United States En- sgineer Corps, are of the utmost importance ito'the commerce of the Northwest and,that cour Senators and Representatives in Con- $fress' are requested to urge special legisla- {tion'to secure the result. ‘The following resolution was also adopt- ced: fResolvcd—That we earnestly recommend ‘the acquisition by the general government «fithe canals of the Portage Lake and River ‘Improvement Company and the» Lake Su- iperior Ship Canal Railway and Iron Com- ypany, and of the improvement of the same ‘a@sca'highway for commerce and a harbor of trefuge. A:resolution commending the action of ithe Legislature in extending the time for ipuilding the Marquette, Houghton and On- ttonagon Railway, but requesting the Legis- lniture to forfeit the land grants of all other #ubsidized railroads, brought out a sharp de- ‘bate. Jay Hubbell, of Houghton, favored ithe!resolution. It was oppssed by Goy. R. AA. Niger, Col. Chas. Y. Osborne, of Mar- qquette and John Q. Adams, of Negaunee. Wfter .a prolonged contest the resolution Was lost. Wo further business of great importance wyasitransacted. The Convention was much more of a success than was generally ex- petted. Over 80 members were present, ‘anildll districts were represented. An ex- aeeritive committee of nine was appointed— ffive ‘from Michigan, two from Wisconsin ‘and ‘two from Minnesota. The Duluth (Chaniber of Commerce will select the two Minnesota members. The five members of itheexecutive committee from Michigan will Ypessent to-the Waterways Convention at De- ‘troit,‘as Upper Peninsula delegates. The @adteof the next Convention has not been decided upon. —$—$$_—-9- The Grocery Market. Business is good and collections fair. Sugar is steady. Spices are higher and salmon is advancing.

Nuts are active and firm. Oranges are scarce and firm. Lem- cons‘are in fair supply and steady. The new crop of figs is fair in quality, and prices are allittie lower, though they will not be as llowsns ‘last season. Fard dates are higher anil ‘frails are firm.

On Sept. ifs, ‘the Crume & Sefton Manufacturing Co., @f Dayton, filed a bill against the Chicago Ipigtiid Sack Co., asking for an accounting ‘fainst them and an injunction against their @itstomers. On October 14, the complain- writs ‘asked that the cause be dismissed, Which was granted. Just what move will tye tnnde next remains to be seen.

The Law Prohibiting Its Manufacture Un- constitutional. Judge Chambers gave his decision at De- troit on the 13th in the case of the North- western (oleomargarine) Manufacturing Co., which had sued the State for the value of its machinery recently confiscated under an enactment prohibiting the manufacture of oleomargarine. He thought that the first section of the act was a prohibition of the manufacture of oleomargarine or butterine, or any article in semblance of butter and not | the legitimate product of the dairy and not made exclusively of milkorcream. It made the person manufacturing the same guilty of a misdemeanor. There was nothing in this section to indicate that its object was to pro- tect the public against deception, or guaran- teeing a lawful product against simulation and deception—there was only an absolute prohibition of the manufacture and sale of a perhaps useful article which people might knowingly prefer to buy. It might also be considered that it did not appear that, in a sanitary view, oleomargarine or butterine were injurious to health, so that its manu- facture should be prohibited. This being conceded, the manufacture of oleomargarine was only competitive with the manufacture of dairy products, and could not be consid- ered an illegal act. If this were so, the act prohibiting its manufacture and sale was un- constitutional and_void. The act was also contrary to the constitutional provision that ‘sno law shall embrace more than one object, which shall be expressed in its title.” It provided for the prohibition of the manufac- ture of oleomargarine, and also a prohibition against the adulteration of natural milk, while the object of the act, as expressed in the title, was “to prevent deception in the manufacture and sale of dairy products, and to preserve the public health.” He took it thatthe State was notestopped from disput- ing the constitutionality of a law enacted by the Legislature. There was no force, in his judgment, in counsel’s argument in that di- rection. The company will next apply to the Su- preme Court for a mandamus and thus se- cure a final test. Should the Supreme Court decide the law unconstitutional, the com- pany will resume operations. Retail Grocers’ Meeting. The third meeting of the retail grocers of Grand Rapids will be held at Tire TRADES- MAN office, 49 Lyon street, Tuesday even- ing. All dealers interested in the subject of organization are cordially invited to be present and participate in the preliminary work of organization. ——>_> A Marseilles merehant who started in businesss with $5,000 and became a mil- lionare, left his property to a friend with the condition that he should be buried with the sum of $5,000 placed in his coffin. The executor bewailed the reckless use of money and was at his wits’ end to know how to de- feat the whimsical clause in the will. At length a happy thought came. **T will put a’check,” he said, “‘into the coffin for $5,000. It will be duly honored when he presents it.” A manufacturer in Breslau has recently built at his factory a chimney over fifty feet in hight entirely of paper. The blocks used in its construction, instead of being brick or stone, were made of layers of compressed paper joined with a silicious cement. The advantages are the fire-proof nature of the material, the minimum of danger from lightning, and great elasticity. (irocers’ Association of the Ciny of Muskegon. OFFICERS. President—H. B.

The State Board of Pharmacy held an in- formal meeting at Detroit last Thursday, the sessions occupying the whole of the day following. All of the 1,200 applications for registration without examination were ex- amined and passed upon, only about forty being rejected. Most of the latter contained some irregularity, such as the omission of one or more replies to the questions asked, or the omission of the title of the person who took the depusition. Several applica- tions, however, were ruled out altogether— notably that of a gentleman who boughta new drug stock on the 18th of September, but did not embark in business until a week later. The law is very plain on this point, stating specifically that a person must be actually engaged in business on the date the law went into effect. The applications were signed by all five members of the Board, and the certificates will be forwarded on December 18. A number of rulings were made, the most important being one which touches the question of the meaning of the paragraph which provides that a person must have been employed in a drug store for three years prior to Sept. 18.. The Board ruled that “prior” does not mean immediately prior, nor does it infer that the applicant must have served three years continuously. Three years actual service, either at inter- vals or continuously, and any time prior to the date in question satisfies the provisions of the statute. The other rulings made were of minor iniportance. } About twenty applications for examina- tion have been received, and all applicants residing in the Eastern part of the State will be invited to appear before the Board at its first formal meeting at Detroit on November 8. The next meeting will be held in Grand Rapids the first Tuesday in March, at which time all Western and Northern Michigan applicants will be given an opportunity to display their knowledge of pharmacy. Three of the five members of the Board assure Tuk TRADESMAN that the examina- tions for the first two or three years will not be made severe, as it is not the intention of the Board to prevent anyone decently qualified from engaging in the business, either as proprietor or clerk. Everything having a tendency to make the law unpopu- lar with any considerable number will be carefully avoided, although in certain in- dividual cases it may seem necessary to draw the line pretty closely. The members of the Board are all possessed of uncom- monly good sense and shrewdness, and en- ter upon their work with a judicial fairness which speaks well for the future of phar-| macy in this State. —_——___—~—-4—=— VISITING BUYERS.

When the census of the United States is again taken in 1890, we hope that the re-| tail grocers’ movement will be strong enough to insist upon the enumeration and classification of all the beats in the country. | Vagrant statistics and reports of charities | do not cover it, because the beat is a pecu- liar character—above charity, but not above obtaining goods on false pretences. delicate question to handle, this of beats, because the wrathful grocer, stung by the | multitude of small losses, is apt to call! every man a beat who owes him a bill over 60 days. A nice classification would show that some are unable to pay from physical causes—bad health, family troubles, ete.; others because of sudden loss of employ- ment ; too many, unfortunately, in this san- guine world from disappointed expecta- tions. And we have always found that the patient but prompt grocer who presented his claim with a gentle firmness, and was patiently and promptly on hand whenever the appointed hour came, even though it might be postponed quite frequently, gen- erally secured his bills, when other more careless men or more quarrelsome ones were neglected. ——_—< -» <———- The law of finding, says a legal writer, is that the finder has a clear title against the world, except the owner. The proprietor of a coach or a railroad car ora ship has no right to demand articles found in his ve- hicles. He may make regulations in regard to lost property which will bind his em- ployees, but not the public. The finder of an article may deposit it with the person on whose premises it was found for the purpose of restoring it to its rightful owner, and in case the latter does not reclaim it the prop- erty reverts to the finder. ———_—-_-+9-—-2--- A.
