To the etail Dealers OF Mineral Water.
We deem il proper to make a few remarks
in explanation OF the relation we bear to each
other. and In refu tation of the statements con-
tanned in the following article, copied from
the Republican, Of Saturday last:
"THK MINERAL AN4 SODA WATRR TRADE.
There is q great complaint made by the retail
dealers OF soda and mineral waters in this
city at what they consider the unjust &C ton Of
the man ufacturers and botters of these articles.
1t appears that nearly all the bettlers of soda
in Washington have just entered 1Hto COM
bination, and have raised the price of their
productions, and also obliging the retail deal
ers TO pay ten cents for each bottle not returned.
When II is considered that the bottles do not
cost but three cents each, the inference is they
want to make a clean profit OF seven cents out
OF each( ottle not returned by the retailer. 1t
rs for this seeming extortion the retail dealers
complain, and we think very Justly
"In the ordinary course OF the trade many
bottles get accidently broken, and the manu-
facturers seem determined to maze their GUS
toners sustain all the loss, without any at
tempt to make il equitable on both parles-the
manufacturer aud retailer The retail dealers,
however, have the mode Of retaliation in their
hands, and that is to make combination not
TO sell the productions of those manufacturers
who thus unjustly put such onerous restric-
tons ON trade
tits NJ necessary to relate the causes which
have He'd us to advance the price OF our
productions, as the increased cost OF all ma
terials used in our business are well known 10
most of you. This being so, we Will connne
ourselves to a relation of the cause Wnlcn mas
made il a matter of self protection to charge
tor bottles lost, and to disproye the charge OF
<ssaemipg extortion," of which you would
<siustly" complain, If the statement OF the cost
OF the bottles contained in the article above
quoted was true.

ent value of bottles:
