THE ALDEN pRocEss-coMPAIlsoN OF PaICEs WITH
PREsH AND CANNED FRUITS.
Correspondence of the Commercially
MDDLErowN, Del, Dee. 26. 1871.
To Hle Editor of The Commercial:
As requested. we send you statement of facts
regarding the cost of our products compared
with fresh and canned fruits.
One pound of pared peaches costing so cents,
will, when prepared according to directions make
six pies of ordinary size for family use, or will
fill two three-pound cans the contents of which
cost eighty cents, with no more water added than
is contained in the canned fluit, and requiring
but half the amount of sugar.
One pound of blackbeIries costing 30 cents,
will make many pies or as much mush as four
quarts of fresh berries, equal-most people say,
superior-in quality to fresh, and requiring half
the amount of sugar. One Of your hotel-keepers,
who has used our fruit for some weeks, says our
blackberries are cheaper at 90 cents per pound
than dried cherries at 35 cents. They go further
and require less sugar.
The same may be said of huckleberries, also
so cents per pound. Twelye-and-a-han nts is
not very dear for berries in the height of the
season.
Mr.. Lippincott, OF the National Hotel, in this
place says that two pounds of our corn goes as
far on his table as six cans OF Winsows corn, and
is a superior article.
One and half ounces of eyaporated toma-
toes, when soaked and stewed, makes as much
on the table as one Bib can, costing 20 cents.
Two ounces OF pumpkin make as much pie stuff
as a can of three pounds, costing, in the New
York market, IS cents, and superior in quality
to fresh because they contain less water and
more sugar, developed during corporation.
This last fact is an important one in estimating
the cost of our products to the consumer. That
which chemists call grape sugar is developed in
all fruits, subjected to the Alden process, from
the starch and gum Of the fruit, and distin-
guishes our products from the best samples
OF common dried fruit.
Pies made Of our apples exhibited at the
late Chester county fair, after being tested by
the Committee Of Arrangements, were ordered
to be placed on exhibition with pies made from
fresh fruit.
In all the above comparisons, no more water
is allowed than is contained in the fresh fruit
and we submit them without any desire TO 'blow
our own horn, but that the public may be able to
Judge understandingly Of the cost and value Of
our fruits. Yours truly
JACKSON, PYLE & Co.

almost all of them 30 blackened and destroyed

All varieties alike involved in the common

desire to call the attention Of Peach Growers
all over the Peninsula, to the matter thus early
in order that general discussion OF the meas
ures to be adopted to avert far as is possible,
the serious injury that will result to the material
interests Of those concerned in this important
branch OF our industry. II the whole crop IL
destroyed, as would seem from the small orchards

not be realized - the losses will fall heavily
enough upon the peninsular people, even should

LECTURE BY REV. p. 8. HENSON.
Rev p. s. Henson, of Philadelphia, lectured
upon money, or the Golden Calf" at the Opera
House, last evening. The parquet and parquet
circle were well filled with a respectable au-
dience, and for an hour and half the reverend
lecturer disceureed most eloquently upon his
theme, 4" not from the fact that he knew any
thing about money, but because it was fashion,
able nova days, for men to lecture
upon that which they knew the least about"
What little money he did earn, he
he said the lady (meaning his wife, who, by the
way, was present) who had brought him down
here received. and he was allowed only what
little he could make from marriage fees for pin
money. Preachers, he said, were the least cal
culated to know what money was. His portrait
uro OF the rich man and the poor, and the man
ner in which they are received by society, was
graphic, truthful and puRgent, and we have no
doubt that there were some who listened to him
who felt keenly the application Of his words to
themselves. The lecture throughout was spiced
with anecdote and humor and Mr.. Henson has
won new laurels for himself in Wilmington as a
public lecturer.
