aAna The Same Day Plate and Herod
Were Made Friends Together

The Cooley creamery described as
IAN imp rovement In obtaining cream
from milk was patented In 1877.
Two years later J. q, Cherry OBJ.
tained q patent for what Is known
as the Cherry can. Cooley assigned
his patent to John Boyd, who sought
to restrain Cherry from the manu-.
facture and sale OF his can, alleging
that It was an infringement upon the
Cooley patent. Upon the hearing
OF the case the court refused to en-.
joiu the manufacture and sale Of the
Cherry can. Thereupon Cherry ad-
vertised his can through all the ag-
ricnltural and dairy journals Of the
country pledging himself through
his advertisements and through cir.
culnrs to hold the users OF his can
absolutely harmless from all annoy
ance and claims for royalty for nj.
legged infringement on the Cooley
can. Another turn OF the wheel
brings the matter up for rehearing
before Judge McCrary In the y. s.
court In January 1889. What the
defense was Ia the rehearing case
We are not prepared to say; suince
It to say, the former decision was
reversed:
"Asd the same day nlase And Hsrod wrre
made friends together"
Now It Is reported that Boyd and
Cherry are travelling together col
lecting royalty for infringement on
the Cooley patent. II this is true It
IL simply infamous. The people, to
counteract this extortion. must or
gani1e aud give the case another
hearing before \ more incorruptiblc
Judge than McCrary. The dairymcn
Of the state must organize and con-
tribute to employ counsel to resist
lawfully thiscxtortion. The grand old
party that has filled the judicial aud
legislative Offices Of the country with
the tools Of monopolists must be TO-
tated out AS rapidly rs time will do
Il. Incompetent men all the public

ment fails to protect those who have

During the political campaign in
Michigan last fall, the Hon. John G.
Blanchard,a lumber dealer, spoke his
mind freely on the protection ques-
ton. He was honest enough to con-
TESS that he upheld the - tax on the
people Of Illinois and Iowa, who
bought Michigan lumber, for purely
selfish reasons; but that he was for
tariff reform on everything except
lumber. He spoke substantially US
follows:
Il am high tariff on lumber, but
low tariff on salt, copper, iron, wool,
cotton, leather, glass. etc. I will tell
you why; / own timber land and
sell stumpage, besides, / operate
largely myself, and this tariff puts
money into my pocket. / got 81 per
1000 more for my stnmpagc and q
per 1000 more for my boards. /
have Just sold 5000, 900 II. OF lumber
Tor $3.50 per 1000 mill run; u pretty
good price. Voice: That's SO, that's
sO." Well, think so. too. But for
the tariff should not have got SO
much by q thousand. Now q
thousand on 5000. 900 is just $4,000.
That Is the difference to me, in one
operation, between high tariff and
free lumber. l am high tariff on
lumber. I am.
"This blessed tariff, taxation, they
tell us, Is all for the benefit OF the
American laborer, What do you
