4 PETITION is in circulation among down.
town merchants and on the produce exchange
in New York, which represents that serious in
jury is being inflicted upon the dairy industry
of the country by the manufacture and sale of
oleomargarine, generally sold under the name
of butter. The petition urges congress to pass
a law to remedy the evil. Apropos of oleomar-
garine the New York Journal of Commerce
explains the derivation of the name as follows:
" Marffarine is the chemical name of pearl
like substance extracted from either vegetable
or animal fat. Oleum is the Latin for Gil, and
these two have been put together as the name
of an article made from animal fat with mix
ture OF cows milk or cream to give it the flavor
of butter" Any person who thinks that this
compound is equal to good dairy butter is well
come to the opinion, but he has no right to
palm the material eff upon another as butter.
