The Drift of Things Industrial.

John McGovern in Chicago Current.

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

But this cheerful  proceedure of  grabbing 
all known things,  of  looking  with  cold eye 
on whole streets  full  of  needy,  has  had its 
effect.  All things whatsoever are causes of 
other things.  It has been possible for greedy 
men to grasp dollars all their days,  die,  and 
repose  under  monuments  that  hide  the 
graves of good men.  Yet it is  indicative of 
the inner goodness of men that the outrages 
which have  been  committed  upon  liberty, 
justice, conscience,  and  generous  instincts, 
have been shifted from the shoulders of  ac­
tive personalities—of real men—to the noth­
ingnesses  called corporations. 
If Nero fid­
dled as Rome  burned,  that  was  bad in  the 
long run for Nero,  the man.  But  if  a  cor­
poration fiddled while Pittsburg burned, the 
wretches within the corporation escaped the 
goad of history.  I11 fact,  I believe,  the man 
who was the moving  spirit  of  that particu­
lar corporation afterward passed  out  of the 
flesh amidst almost universal grief, so blind 
had been the people to the part he had play­
ed by means of the modem device for creat­
ing abstract monsters.

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

so  terrifying  in 

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

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

Some twenty matters of business are read 
by the financial member.  As he reads them 
the President decides what shall be done, no 
objection  being  heard. 
It  is  so  ordered. 
The financial member reports  on the stand­
ing of fifteen workmen who are in the ante­
room,  applicants  for  membership.  Twelve 
of them are led in.  The President reads  to 
them the obligation to carry out the ideas of 
organized labor.  They repeat his words—a 
rather odd ceremony—useless,  because  the 
applicants are  already  zealous  with  hatred 
of  capital.  The  dozen  take  seats  and  are 
henceforth  Union  men.  A  member  rises 
and  states  that there  is in  the  ante-room a 
delegate  from  the  Knights  of  Labor, who 
craves  permission  to  speak  ten  minutes. 
Matters of the dearest  import  to  the  mem­
bers  are  dropped.  The  delegate  appears. 
Let us hear  him  tell  of  the state of things 
in that same Pittsburg,  where  the  corpora­
tion  fiddled  while  the  city  burned—where 
the valiant militia  General  one day assured 
his friends,  the strikers, that he  should kill 
them with enormous regret, and the next day 
was the scarcest man in the universe.  There 
was a mighty  Cause  there in 1877.  Let  us 
behold the Effect in 1885:

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

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

‘My hotel is full. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Genie  of  Toil  is  arising  out  of  the 

bottle of corporate capital.

How to Mark Goods.

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

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

To make 30 percent,  add  1-12 itself.

and the sum  will  be  the  selling  price  of 
the single article.

Boycotting an Old Device.

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

“Are  You  Still  With  Us.”

From the Minneapolis Tribune.

A wholesale  house  in  Chicago  started  a 
salesman out on the  road, giving him  $100 
for traveling expenses.  A week passed,  and 
nothing was  heard  of  Mr.  Traveler.  Still 
another week week passed, and still no word 
from Mr.  Traveler.  Finally the  house wir­
ed him as  follows:  “Air.  Traveler—Noth­
ing from  you  since you  left.  Are you still 
with us?”  To which Air.  Traveler  replied: 
“Yours  this  date  received.  Have  made 
draft on you for $200.  Am still with you.”

To Hardwood Manufacturers. 
Correspondence Ohio Lumber Journal.

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

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

The manufacturer should be  judicious  in 
his  marketing.  There  are  persons  in  all 
markets who will  offer  big  prices; but  be­
ware of such,  for rest assured they will  get 
the lumber cheap enough in the end.  They 
are unscrupulous persons who will not grade 
in  or  measure  in  as  the  reliable  dealers 
would  do.  Again,  there  are  parties  who 
will offer fair prices for clear or  No.  1,  anil 
put the seconds in with the commons at low 
prices.  We do not censure  such  parties  if 
they can buy in that way, but the seller does 
not get the value of his lumber.

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

Every manufacturer should select the tim­
ber, cut the logs into desirable lengths,—12, 
14 or 16  feet,  unless  otherwise  specified— 
then  cut  the  lumber  full  thickness  with 
square  edges  and  ends.  Take  the  heart 
boards to the  edging  saw  or  carriage  and 
cut out the hearts,  and  boards  with  rotten 
or shaky  ends  should  be  cut  off if ten  or 
twelve  feet  remain  good.  Boards  which 
are  knotty  or  otherwise  defective  at  one 
edge  and 6,  S  or  10  inches—owing  to  the 
kind—on  the  other  are good, should be rip­
ped.

After  the  sawing  is  done  the 

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

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

Anecdote of Phil. Armour.

Phillip D.  Armour is a very generous man. 
A clergyman in whom lie had confidence one 
day  asked  him  for  $30  to  relieve  a  poor 
woman  whose  newborn  baby  was  lying 
naked  in  her  one  room  where  there  was 
neither  fire  nor  food.  The  money was  at 
once handed to  the  parson,  who  afterward 
returned it it with a note saying that he nail 
“discovered that  the  woman  was of  ill re­
pute and the child  the  result  of  sin.”  Mr. 
Armour at once sent word to  Airs.  Armour, 
who gave the starving mother and child am­
ple assistance,  while her husband, stamping 
with  rage,  shouted  to  Ins  clerk:  “ If that
d----- il scoundrel comes in here again throw
him out!”

The  value  of  the hardware produced  in 
the United States per annum at  the present 
time  is  over  $60,000,000,  and  half of it  is 
made in Connecticut.  This total of $60,000,- 
000 does not include a large  nnmber of arti­
cles like fire-arms,  agricultural  implements, 
etc.,  which  are  often  sold  by  hardware 
dealers.  Neither does  it include  cut  nails, 
ornamental iron work and a great variety of 
other articles,  which would swell  the  total 
far  above  $ 100,000,000  per  annum.  The 
trade  in  cutlery  and  edge  tools  is  often 
classed as a separate  interest,  distinct  from 
the hardware trade.  The  amount  of these 
goods now produced in the United States is 
about $15,000,000 per annum,  but is includ­
ed in the totals above given.

John  W.  Rice,  a  Baltimore  commercial 
traveler,  recently  obtained  a  verdict  for 
$2,700 damages in  a suit  against the P.  \Y. 
& B. Railway for ejectment from defendant’s 
car, in  consequence  of  a  conductor having 
punched the wrong coupon of his ticket.

As predicted by T h e  T ra d esm a n a cou­
ple of weeks ago, the  Michigan Dairymen’s 
Association,  in annual session at Kalamazoo 
last week,  designated the Michigan  Dairy­
man as  its  official  organ  for  the  ensuing 
year.  The change is particularly acceptable 
to T h e  T ra desm a n,  as it will  enable  the 
latter to omit all dairy matters  not of spec­
ial interest to merchants  and business  men 
generally.  Those wishing  to  keep the run 
of dairy  movements  in  this  and  adjoining 
states would do well  to provide  themselves 
with the Dairyman,  as it is the intention of 
the  publishers  to  keep  it  abreast  of  the 
times.

The  election  of  Henry  J.  Can-,  book 
keeper for H.  Leonard &  Sons,  to  the posi­
tion of city librarian, means  that  the entire 
institution will receive  a  long-needed over­
hauling.  The trouble with the  library  has 
been that it has been  public  in  name only. 
A  few have  monopolized all the most valu­
able  books  and been granted  privileges en­
tirely out of the keeping with the  character 
of the institution.  T h e T ra desm a n looks 
for a  change under the new regime.

Potato shippers are sending large  quanti 
ties of the  “red  streak” Rose  potatoes  into 
the South for seeding purposes.  It is claim 
ed that the change  of  climate and  soil will 
enable the seed to develop  into  healthy tu­
bers.

chants  and  Manufacturers’  Exchange  has 
failed to receive any  reply to  the  memorial 
recently sent Commissioner Fink relative to 
a reduction in the  through  pool  rates from 
the seaboard  cities to  this market.  Unless 
a  satsfactory  reply  is  received  during  the 
next thirty days,  the  Committee  will prob­
ably put forth a plan for  the government of 
the jobbing trade which will bring the man­
ager of the pooling system to his senses.

undoubtedly succeed in their new undertak­
ing.

facturers  at  East  Saginaw,  have  merged 
their business into  a  stock  company under 
the  corporate name of the Cross,  Gordon  & 
Randall Lumber Co.

The annual meeting of  the  patrons of B. 
E.  Peebles’  “Home” and “Sand Creek” fac­
tories,  run  last  season  on  the  union plan, 
was held at  Sand  Creek Feb.  15.  Thomas 
Allen,  of Dover,  was  chairman  and  N.  J 
Strong secretary.  C.  D.  West, chairman of 
the committee,  made  the  following  report 
for 1885:  Pounds of milk delivered,  2,291,- 
638; pounds of cured cheese  made, 232,542; 
pounds of milk to one of cheese,  9.85; gross 
sales,  §18,941.79; average  price  of milk per 
100 pounds,  68 1-125  cents;  cost  of  manu­
facturing  cheese  at  §1.30  per  hundred, 
§3,023.05; cost of  drawing  cheese,  §234.72; 
bad debts,  §49.38: traveling  expenses,  §76.- 
31;  spoiled  cheese,  §76.83;  discounts  and 
freight,  §136.60; making a total of expenses 
§3,591.89; leaving a net  balance to  patrons 
of §15,349.90.  Last year the  cows  yielded 
a smaller profit to dairymen than for several
years past,  and at the solicitation of patrons 
Mr.  Peebles  agreed to  make,  including  all 
furnishings,  sales and collections,  for  §1.25 I cloud, 
per hundred of cured cheesethe coming sea-
son; also to furnish whey to those who wish 
it at twenty-five cents per thousand pounds. | 
C.  D.  West  and  C.  E.  Baker,  for  the 
“Home,” and James Service and J.  Tolford 
for the  “Sand Creek”  factory,  were  elected 
committeemen for 1886.  The  meeting was 
harmonious  and  the  dairymen  were of  the 
opinion that it would not  be  good policy to 
sell off cows,  expecting to make more money 
raising cattle or  grain,  as  the  outlook was 
not discouraging,

Purely Personal.

M. J.  Matthews representing the Detroit, 
Stamping Co.,  of Detroit,  put in  Sunday at

the  Michigan  Division,  T.  P.  A.,  held  at 
Battle  Creek,  J.  W.  Ailes,  of  Detroit  re­
signed the position of treasurer and Leo. A. 
Caro was elected to fill the vacancy.

United States  Supreme Court to  back  him. 
When the American drummer  starts out for 
a certain object he generally gets there.

The regular monthly meeting of  Post  A, 
M.  C.  T.  A.,  will be  held at T h e   T r a d e s­
m an office Saturday evening.  All members 
of the  Post  are  earnestly  requested  to  be 
present,  as business of importance will come 
up before the meeting.

II.  C. Kendrick,  formerly  on the road for 
Curtiss, Dunton & Co., has engaged to trav­
el for  Julius  Bader &  Co.,  of  Kalamazoo, 
and has removed  his  family  to  that  place. 
He will start out  on  his  initial  trip  for the 
1 new house about March 1.

Arrangements have  been  completed with 
Chicago parties  to  add  an  extensive  sash, 
door and blind factory to the manufacturing 
interests of Alma. 
It will be run in connec­
tion with  the  Wright  &  Lumsden Lumber 
Co.,  its goods being principally wholesaled.
Mr.  Wilson,  who was  lately  prospecting 
in Chehalis valley,  W.  T.,  for the  Cutler & 
Savidge Lumber Company,  of Spring Lake, 
has  returned  and  reports  favorably.  He 
states that it is likely that  the  company  he 
represented will erect a mill in  Washington 
Territory.

McLaughlin  Bros.’  new  sash  and  blind 
factory  will  be  an  important  addition  to 
Corunna’s industries.  The  factory is  to be 
56x144 feet on the ground,  two stories high. 
The  proprietors  were  engaged  in  business 
in Lapeer for  many years,  but were  induc­
ed to remove to Corunna  because of  the su­
perior facilities afforded and a  Si,000 bonus 
offered.

The Saginaw salt manufacturers  have ob­
tained  figures  of  the  salt  production. 
In 
1885 these figures show the total  amount of 
salt  consumed  in  the  United  States  was
9.850.000 barrels of five bushels each, aggre­
gating 2,750,000,000  pounds,  or  about fifty 
pounds to every  individual  in  the  country 
The foreign importation  was  3,300,000 bar­
rels.  Michigan  salines  are  set  down  for
3.300.000 barrels,  and the  other  eleven  salt 
producing  states  of  the  union  furnished
3.400.000  barrels,  the  quotas  being  as fol­
lows:  New  York,  1,749,000  barrels; West

Curious Orders.

From the Colonial Druggist.

The competition  which  we  instituted re 
cently by offering a prize for the best cellec 
tion of original orders, brought so many cur 
ious specimens that  we think  we  may con 
tribute both to  the amusement  and instruc 
tion of our  readers  by  producing  a few  of 
the most striking.  A  perusual  of  the  col 
lections compiled by Carpenter and Griffith 
who  were  successful  in  our  competition 
would strike dismay in  the  minds  of those 
who are advocates of  phonetic spelling,  and 
would serve as  excellent  training for  those 
students  who  dread  the  ordeal  of  reading 
autograph  prescriptions  at  Bloomsbury 
Square.  Not only are many of these orders 
difficult to decipher, but when they are read 
it will often require no small amount of  in 
genuity to discover what  may be the article 
named.

In  the  collection  of  Mr.  Carpenter,  of 
Bristol,  we  find  acetic  acid  ordered  as 
“Glaciel Ascetic Acid for killing corns,” 
pennyworth  Seed  of  Caskic  for to  put on 
Coras,”  “Ecedic  Acid,”  and  “Acie  atick; 
acid,  sulph.  is  disguised  as  “Sofrickased. 
Carbolic acid appears as Mason’s “Corl Bui 
lick,” an additional  line to this  order being 
a “Pint of Sprite,”  and  as  “Garliobolick; 
and customers send for oxalic acid as  “Ox 
elidsaid,” and “oxhollid Acid;” tartaric acid 
figures as “Tarrack Acid,” and  “tar-tar-tar- 
it acid;” aqua-fortis  as  “Akiverfortic;” and 
nitric acid of  “Nitreassed” and  “Niglitreas- 
sed.”

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

Alcock’s Porous  Hi Master  ordered  as  “El- 
cock’s Borreaux Pladster,”  “one of all cocks 
Porrys  Piaster,”  and  “2  old  cocks  pruey 
plarsters.”

Ravalenta Arabica, ordered as Reverential 

Arabica.

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

Chlorodyne,  as Cloringe,  Chlordean,  Car­

olina for the tootluvelie.

Dalby’s Carminitive—Dolphins  Conmini- 

cher.

Mixture.

Fenning’s Mixture—Fenning’s  Steymatlc 

Eno’s Fruit Salt—Eanus’s frute Sauce.
Dredge’s  Heal  All—Dregges  Hair  oil, 
Drudgezeal  Oil,  Dredge’s  ill  all,  Dregges 
Heallow for Bad liinch.

Locock’s Wafera,  as  Dr.  Lowcock’s Pro­

monk  Waffer’s.

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

We find “Hunyadis  Jano  a Hungry War

ter”  required.  What  “Extract  of  Good 
Lord” might be, we could not  at first deter-9 
mine,  but  ultimately  it  was  apparent  that 
Goulard’s Extract  was the  article intended.
Chememical names  seem  still to puzzle a 
large  section  of  the  British  public,  for we 
have,  “Glissarine,”  “Oarvonate  of  lorn,” 
“high Dry pottash,”  “AsyderateMagnesea” 
(mag.  cit.),  “Bygonic  of  Potash”  (pot.  bi­
carb.),  “Sulphurous  Ink”  (zinci  nulp.), 
“Higher  Dye  Pothisiam,”  I—A—I  (pot. 
iod.),  “Cor  bo  nat of  Pot  Ash,”  and “Hy 
Pho Sulphate of Harmon ia.”

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

Yellow basilicon rejoices in the alias Yol- 

loppesellican.

Lin sapnis is called Upper dill  Dock.
Troch. Morphiie are  Marfall  Lodizingers.
Troch.  Ipec. ‘ Epukeckuana Lozengers.
Troch.  Ipec.,  Hypocacuan Lozengers.
As one might  suppose,  some  of the “rec­
ipes” handed over the counter are curiosities 
in their  wao. 
In  one,  the  patient  boldly 
rushed  into classics  and  technical  symbols 
thus:

Ry. Mucil Acacae....................... .......;ip
Ball  Copabae........  ..........................5ips
Ag.  Ad....................................... ........ly
Ip. Hyoxy................................... ........ 3P

The  following  prescriptions

Fit for the Infernal Regions.

Correspondence National Druggist.

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

from your wholesale  druggist  a  sample  lot 
of any of the sizes, and  you  will  find  it  to 
give satisfaction,  and that those  once  using 
it will call for it again.
It is for sale by all wholesale druggists at

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

Various perfumes are specified as  Laren- 
terwater  (aq. 
lavand),  Bargham  Hot  (01 
Bergam),  Stafinotis  Sent,  Ode  Colong  on 
Hungry  Water.

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

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

We read a pathetic  application  for  “Infc 
merit for the Each,” and a  requirement  for 
“Lickweed  (liquid)  to  Kill  Bugs.”  And 
lastly,  as  a poser  for  medical  diagnosis,  s 
sufferer applies for a  “box of ointment fori 
womb  (wound)  in the groynd.”

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

M uskegon D rug Clerks’  Association.

‘  In consequence of the Charity Ball taking 
place on the 12th, the regular meeting of the 
1ST.  D.  C.  A.  was  postponed  until  the lith. 
L  F.  Hopkins having purchased a drag store 
of his own tendered his resignation as Pres­
ident of the Association,  which  was accept­
ed.  Peter  Van  Diense  read  a  paper  on 
“Quinine”  and  Fred  Heath  a  paper  on 
“Weights and Measures.”  After a short de­
bate the  Association  then  adjourned  until 
next Friday,  on which day the regular meet­
ing will be held.

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

A  well-known  peppermint  dealer  writes 
T h e T ra d esm a n as follows:  “You might 
as well quote oil peppermint at $5.  Buyers 
offer $4,  but  growers  ask  $5. 
I  know of 
two  growers  who  hold  500  pounds.  A 
freeze up now  would  kill  the  roots.  They 
are reported in  bad condition in  New York 
State. 

I  am out of oil.”

THE  RETAIL  GROCERS.

An Interesting Meeting of the Local Asso - 

ciation.

The regular semi-monthly  meeting of  the 
Retail Grocers’ Association of Grand Rapids 
was held on the 10th  and  called to order by 
Vice-President Walker,  and  on roll call the 
following  officers  were 
found  absent: 
Messrs.  Herrick,  Johnson,  Sigel,  Hydorn 
and Knox.  The  minutes of  the  preceding 
meeting were read  and  approved,  and  the 
names of J.  F.  Norcutt and J. C. Sliaw were 
proposed for membership and both accepted.
On call for reports of  special committees, 
the Entertainment Committee  reported that 
they  were  not  fully  prepared  and  it  was 
moved that they be allowed  two weeks fur­
ther time.  Carried.

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

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

Second—That such  huxters and  peddlers 
be required to submit such vegetables, fruit, 
fish,  poultry or others articles of food,  offer­
ed for sale at  retail,  to  the  proper authori 
ties to be appointed  by the city  as  required 
in section  10,  sub.  division  52,  page 32,  of 
the charter,  and  sub.  division 59 of  section 
10,  page 33,  and section 10,  sub. division G5 
page 34.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The meeting then adjourned.

THE  CARE  OF  MILK.

is 

Deep Setting vs. Shallow Pan System.
The system of setting milk for cream rais­
ing has, within the past  few  years,  under­
gone  many  changes,  and  great  improve­
ments in the  mode  of  handling  the  milk 
have been introduced which  materially  les­
sen the labor incident to making  butter,  as 
well as lending a valuable assistance toward 
insuring  a  uniformly  better  article  than 
could be produced by  the  old plan.  Milk 
set in the  old-fashioned  way  in  pans  and 
crocks, exposed to the  air  of  the  cellar  or 
spring house,  is liable  to  become  contami­
nated  by  absorption  of  all  the impurities 
that are constantly  present  in  the  atmos­
phere,  particularly during the lflhnonths of 
summer  and  the  fall,  when  vegetation 
passes through such  rapid stages of decom­
position;  all foul odors of  whatever  nature 
are readily taken ’ujflRnd  retained by  milk 
when  thus  exposed  to  the open air.  This 
detracts from the quality of the butter made 
from such milk,  and  no  matter  how great 
the care exercised in other directions, or how 
n<^t and cleanly the habits of the milker and 
the dairy maid may  be,  all is for naught  if 
the  surrounding  atmosphere 
impure, 
though ventilation of  the  milk  room  is  an 
absolute necessity,  and  to  secure  this  the 
outside air must be introduced. 
If  the  air 
was always pure,  ventilation  would  be  un­
attended with dangers,  and  the cream  and 
milk could be kept in a pure and sweet con­
dition;  but  when  the  air  is  loaded  with 
tainted odors from  the  pig-pen,  the stable, 
and the cesspool, or perhaps a dead carcass, 
undergoing  decomposition,  half  a  mile  or 
more away,  the possibilities of a fine article 
of  butter,  noted  for  “keeping”  qualities 
being made from the cream so  exposed,  are 
exceedingly  doubtful.  There  is  no escape 
from this  impure  contact  by  the open-pan 
system  of  setting  milk.  The  air  carries 
with it everywhere foulness  and  impurities 
with which it comes in contact.  These are 
rapidly and securely absorbed  by  milk  and 
cream exposed to its influences,  which  pro­
duce  decomposition  and  leave  a  disagree­
able and damaging  taint  to the butter  that 
detracts greatly from  its  value and quality.
A  dairyman  may  be  scrupulously  clean 
and careful of his  own  premises  in all  the 
details of stable,  milk  room,  and  the uten­
sils  used  in  the  business,  and  to have  all 
objectionable objects  that  would  taint  the 
air with unpleasant odors, removed and con­
trolled.  Yet,  by  the  carelessness  of  his 
neighbor,  arising from  neglected  yards and 
stables,  his milk room may be polluted with 
foul and tainted air,  which  will  inevitably, 
and with  certainty,  work  disaster  to  high 
quality in his butter.  Deep and cold setting 
by all the various  plans  introduced  for  the 
better  protection  of  the  milk  and  cream, 
saving labor in  handling  the  milk,  and  in 
scouring and cleaninj^the  utensils,  and  for 
securing a better article of butter,  more uni­
form in  quality,  is  being  gradually  intro­
duced into  all  well-conducted  dairies  with 
great satisfaction and success.

A few years ago it was the popular belief 
that the cream would not all  separate  from 
the milk unless it was  spread out in a shal­
low  vessel,  and  exposed  to  the air,  and 
thus  left  for  twenty-four  hours  or  more. 
Milk treated in this manner  in  the  average 
dairy room  will  generally  become  sour  at 
the end of a few hours,  and by the time the 
cream  is taken off is thick and  “clabbered,” 
and its  value  greatly  reduced  for  feeding 
young calves,  for which purpose there is no 
substitute that will give anything like equal 
returns.  By the deep-setting process every­
thing is different,  and the  cream  can be de­
pended upon to  rise  to  the  top,  through  a 
depth of  eighteen  inches  of  milk,  with  as 
much certainty as  though  it  was but  three 
or four inches  deep;  the  cream  may  be  re­
moved at the end of  twelve  hours,  and  fed 
to the calves  or  pig6  in  a  perfectly sweet 
condition.  One can, as commonly used  by 
this method,  will hold as much as five or six 
ordinary crocks or pans,  resulting in an im­
mense  saving  of  labor  in  cleansing  and 
washing smaller vessels,  the labor of  skim­
ming and  consequent  mixing of  the  upper 
portion of milk with the cream,  and the im­
possibility  of  removing  the  cream entirely 
pure 
the  cans  being  so con­
structed  that  the  milk  is  drawn  off  from 
under the cream through a faucet  (placed at 
the bottom of  the  can)  which  can  be  shut 
off when the line of separation  reaches  that 
point,  as shown through a glass panel placed 
in the side  of  the .can;  then  the  cream  is 
drawn in a similar manner into another ves­
sel.

is  avoided, 

These  “creamers,”  as  they  are  called, 
comprise  many  different  styles  and  pat­
terns,  but all are constructed with a view to 
convenience  and  ease  of  cleanliness  and 
purity—the  common  form  being  a  box  or 
tank for  holding  water,  in which the  cans 
(usually  eighteen 
inches  deep  and  eight 
inches in diameter)  are  placed,  the  proper 
temperature being maintained by the  use of 
ice,  or with cold water  flowing through  the 
box.  The secret of the rapid separation and 
rise of the cream to the surface is  found  in 
he proper condition of  the temperature;  44 
to 45 degrees has been found to produce best 
results.,  Of course,  to reduce the tempera­
ture to this point the use of ice  is indispen­
sable in summer—the  same  end,  however, 
can be accomplished by employing the water 
from a cold well  of  water,  or  from a run­
ning stream,  when the temperature does not 
rise above 50  degrees.  The  colder  the  air 
or water  at  any  point  above  freezing,  to 
which the hot milk,  fresh from the  cow,  is 
exposed,  the more rapid  will be the  rise  of 
cream,  and  the  longer  will  the  milk  and. 
cream remain sweet.

Four  hours,  under  best  conditions,  will 
insure a thorough  separation  of  the  cream

4

from the  milk  of  cows  that  are especially 
adapted to  the  butter-making  business;  in 
this respect  milk  will  vary  greatly,  taken 
from the different breeds of dairy animals— 
that from the Jersey and  Guernsey separat­
ing quickest and most thoroughly;  the Ayr­
shire and the Holstein being larger milkers, 
and their milk  adapted  to  cheese  making, 
and being devoid of the' oils  in large quan­
tities found in butter,  and  the  butter glob­
ules being smaller,  a longer time is required 
for  the  cream  to  rise;  but,  with tlie’tem- 
perature  adjusted  to  a  proper  point,  the 
cream  from  any  cow’s  milk  will  all  be 
thoroughly  separated  at  the  end of  twelve 
hours,  and  the  milk  can  be  given to the 
young animals sweet,  and  with  a confident 
feeling that the butter-producing element has 
all been extracted.

These  creamers  are  made  of  different 
sizes,  adapted  to  the  convenience  of  the 
family keeping but one or two cows  as well 
as for use in dairies  where  a  large number 
are kept—in either case  the  can  system  is 
very much superior to the  old  method,  not 
only for the reasons mentioned, but because 
more cream  can  be  obtained from  a  given 
quantity of milk,  and  from  which  a larger 
yield of butter will  result;  the  butter  will 
be of finer quality, and if proper precautions 
regarding temperature are  observed will al­
ways be uniform in that quality.

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

It  has  been  clearly  and  satisfactorily 
proven that more butter can  be  made  from 
the same amount  of  milk  (the cream  from 
which has been  raised  by  the deep-setting 
plan)  than from  the  shallow-pan system - 
numerous experiments having  been authen­
tically made and published,  the  balance  al­
ways  showing  in  favor  of the first-named 
plan.  This is explained partly on the prin­
ciple that cold temperature—which is always 
essential in deep setting—is more conducive 
to the thorough separation from the milk of 
all substances  convertible  into  butter,  and 
the more rapidly this separation  occurs,  the 
more thorough  it  becomes. 
It  often  hap­
pens that milk in shallow pans in  the  open 
cellar or dairy room will become soured long 
before  the  cream  is  all  “up,” caused  fre­
quently  by  electrical  influences  during  a 
thunder-storm;  this  will  prevent  all  the 
cream from rising,  and will,  of  course,  re­
sult in loss.  Again,  the cream that clings 
to the sides of the vessels  (when allowed to 
stand until sour before being  skimmed)  ag­
gregates in time no inconsiderable quantity. 
No amount of  diligence  or  care will  get  it 
all on eveiy occasion.  This waste is avoid­
ed by  the  deep-setting system,  because  the 
milk and cream being always  sweet  and  in 
a thin condition,  no adhesion to the cans oc­
curs,  and the cream is all saved.

In addition to  the  advantages  gained  by 
the deep-can  system,  as  stated,  the  milk 
being  covered,  additional  cleanliness 
is 
guaranteed against  flies,  motes,  dust,  etc., 
than are ever present in the dairy-room, and 
which are sure to find a lodging  place  upon 
the milk when exposed in open pans.

Collector Davis N ot in Accord w ith M essrs.

Rogers  and  Raum.

B a il e y ,  February 10,  1886.

E ditor M ichigan Tradesman:

D e a r  Sih—As your paper is the fount of 
every blessing in  the  way  of  enlightening 
the minds of those who seek for knowledge, 
please give  your  opinion on  the following
^  If  a  customer  buys  twenty-five  cigars 
takes them home  and  puts  them  m an  old 
cigar box on which the stamp has been eras­
ed and smokes them at his leisure,  is lie lia­
ble to any provisions of the Internal Revenue 
lftW?I enclose the opinion of Revenue Collector 
Davis from which I dissent.
‘ 

*  Yours truly, 
The opinion  to  which  Mr.  Spiing refers, 
and which was published in the local papers 
about a  fortnight ago,  is as follows:

J ohn A.  Sp r in g .

Gra nd R a pid s,  Jan.  21,  1886. 

John A. Spring, Bailey, Mich.:
Dear Sir—Yours dated January 10 is be­
fore iiie.  You ask,  if a customer buys twen­
ty-five  cigars,  takes  them  home  and  puts 
them in an old cigar box on which the stamp 
has been  erased,  is  he  liable?  Yes,  lie is. 
The box  has been used once and is liable to 
seizure if found with cigars in the box.  lhe 
fact of the  stamp  being  erased  and  cigars 
found in  the  box  is prima  facie  evidence 
that there is a  violation,  as the  stamp must 
not be erased until  the  last  cigar  is  taken 
out of the box.  So  you  will  readily see,  it 
the box has cigars in it and  the stamp eras­
ed,  it is a strict  violation. 
I  have no extra 
copies of the Revenue  Law.  You can have 
privilege of looking  over the one I ha\e
in the office at any time.

Geo. N.  D a v is, Collector.

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

T rea su ry D epa r tm en t,

Office of Internal Revenue, 

W a sh in gton,  Feb,  1886.

The  Grocery  Market.

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

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

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

Candy is steady.  Nuts are  steady,  with 
the exception of  peanuts, which continue to 
t—— u'7.r;+i> otmntf rii*nhiihilitv  of  a  further
boom,  with strong probability  of  a  furthe 
advance of  1  cent  a pound.  Oranges  are a 
shade lower and active.  Lemons are a shade 
higher. 
“ As  M uch a  N ecessity as  a Store F ront.” 
From the Plainwell Independent.

It may  be  possible  for  store  keepers  to 
conduct  business  without  a  glass  front or 
burglar proof safe,  but  the  man  who  tries 
to become a rustler without the aid of a copy 
of Tiie Mic h ig a n T ra d esm a n to fall back 
upon,  might as well  expect  to  do  business 
without advertising.  It is as much a neces­
sity as a sign on the store front._______ __

Dear Sir—I reply to your inquiries,  that 
if a customer should lawfully purchase twen­
ty-five cigars,  solely  for his  own  smoking, 
and take them home and put them in an old 
cigar box,  from  which  the  stamp has been 
utterly destroyed,  lie  would not,  by  so do­
ing,  become liable  under the  Internal Rev­
enue law. 
II.  C.  R ogers, 

Respectfully,

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

W a sh in gton,  Feb.  15,  1886. 

Dear Sin—Upon the facts as  stated,  the 
laws  are  not  violated 
Internal  Revenue 
the  destruction  of  the
The  laws  require
stamp,.  After that is  done,  the  box  can be 
used  for  any  purpose,  except  by  a  cigar 
manufacturer. 

Yours truly,

Gr ee n B.  R aum.

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

N ew   E ngland Ideas  in  M ichigan. 

From the Commercial Reporter.

Seventeen cities and villages in the  State 
of Michigan have retail grocers’associations. 
As soon as the number reaches  twenty-five, 
a call will be issued for a  State convention, 
to be composed  of  delegates  from  each or­
ganization,  and lay delegates from towns not 
then  organized.  New  England  ideas  are 
still  being taken  up,  and  in  the  above in­
stance they are advanced and  put into prac­
tical operation by Mr.  Stowe,  editor of Tiie 
M ic h ig a n   T r a d e s m a n .  Queer!  Isn’t it?

Good Words Unsolicited.

Wm. Thompson, grocer, Nunica:  “It is very 

useful to me.”

Douglass  &  Eddy,  druggists,  Augusta: 

“Think it a very nice paper.”

“My

Among the busiest  of  our  manufactories

To accommodate the  large  class of labor 
ing people here and to  encourage a habit of 
systematic money saving,  the  banking firm 
of D.  A.  Blodgett & Co. have opened a sav­
ings  bank  department  in  connection  with 
their regular business and  allow interest on 
small deposits,  This move is  an  excellent

An agent of  the  United  States Commer­
cial Agency worked up a  list of subscribers

neys Dunham & Thorp will have  charge  of 
the Cadillac office.
Several months ago a Business Men’s As­
sociation  was  hatched  here  after  a  some­
what  hasty  incubation  and  was  officered 
after the most approved fashion; but as near 
as the average observer can determine noth­
ing more  save  a  few  newspaper items lias 
been done to survey the  line  of  progress in 
this direction.  Of late,  however the institu­
tion has manifested some indications of  life 
and the hope is cherished that it may  cover 
itself with glory in the service  of  this com­
munity.  For  some  years  the  agricultural 
industries in this section  will  not  be  suffi­
cient to feedagrowing Cadillac. With almost 
unlimited resources of  pine  and  hardwood, 
this place is a  most  desirable  locality  for a 
large elass of  manufactories  and  for  these 
this  city is  languishing  and  without  them 
she  can  never  fully  regain  her  vitality— 
railroads or no railroads.

Mr.  Locke,  the  barber,  op  account of ill­

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

D R A F T — CONDITIONAL  A C C E PTA N C E .
When a draft is given directing the drawee 
to pay  absolutely  a  sura  of  money to  the 
payee,  it is the  right  of  the  payee to have 
an unconditional and unqualified acceptance 
and if  he  chooses,  without  the  consent of 
the drawer,  to  take  a conditional,  limited, 
or  qualified  acceptance  of  the  draft,  he 
thereby  releases the  drawer  from all liabil­
ity upon  it.

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

PltO PE K TY  IN  A G K IC U L T U liA L   PllODUCTS.
Section 1,593 of the Georgia Code provides 
that “cotton,  corn,  rice  or  other  products 
sold by planters and commission  merchants 
on cash sales shall not  be considered as the 
property of the buyer or the ownership given 
up until the  same  shall  be  fully  paid for, 
although  it  may  have  been  delivered  into 
the possession of the buyer.”  The Supreme 
Court of Georgia held  that  the  language of 
the  section  did  not  cover  turpentine  and 
rosin so as to prevent the  title  thereto from 
passing to the buyer until  fully paid for.

COUPON 

SYSTEM.

The  only  Complete  Coupon  System  in 
existence,  making  business  safe  both  for 
the merchant and his customers.
a   o A n r > .

In presenting to the trade my COUPON SYS­
TEM, which has been revised and  improved, I 
claim that I have the most complete, safe  and 
cheapest system  for  simplifying  business  on 
the  market.  Customers  can  send  their ser­
vants with the Coupon Book  to the store  with 
no  danger  or  discrepancies, as  by the record 
which is kept on inside covers, amount of each 
sale  is  recorded.  All  books  are  numbered 
when so'd, and when not paid for in  advance, 
are secured by note, one of which  is  in  every 
book.  Every Coupon has engraved  signature 
of the merchant,  together with the card ;  cov­
ers have the merchant's advertisement on, and 
their  size makes them desirable to the custom­
er  as  well  as  the  cashier.  As  they are now 
made the smaller numbers below the live cent 
can be  detached, same as the larger ones, thus 
obviating the necessity of a punch and  stamp.
MERCHANTS  CONTEMPLATING  CHANG­
ING  FROM  CREDIT  TO  CASH, can  still  hold 
their  old  customers  by  introducing this  sys­
tem, which I claim is  the  only  system  where 
both customers and merchants are  absolutely 
protected against all loss.  Send for sample.

CHECK-— NOTES 

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

PA RTN ERSH IP— D EB T— SU R E TY.

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

F IR E   IM SURANCE  PO LICY— COUNTRY  STORE 

— GUNPOWDER.

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

B IL L   OF  EX CH A N G E— A C C E PTA N C E .

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