GOOD CHEER

TWO PAPERS for the PRICE of ONE

GOOD CHEER is a handsomely printed
~ monthly model family paper of l6 pages. IL
is full II bright things, suited to the tast of old
and young; not sensational, but interesting and
instructive. 1t is carefully edited, and has
among Its contributors some of the best writers
OF the country.
Those of our subscribers who pay arrearages
to the time of making their remittance and Tor
one year in advance will receive Good Cheer
free. II will also be given lree to new subscrib-
ers who pay years subscription in advance.
Till further notice payment of arrearages and
Tor our paper till January l, 1885, will he neces.
sary to secure Good cheer.
We snail Send statements of account to all
whom our books show to be in arrears months
or over. Those owing us for a year or more can
have the paper Tor that year and the one follow
ing that for which they are indebted to us, ON
payment of 80. In cases where the year has en-
PRED and the sub Criber does not renew, 81 VIII
be charged; i'm accordance with our standing an.
nouucemcnt. On he first of February the pa

more Will be stopped and collections made ut the
rate OF 81 Il year.
We are cndeavoring to print paper which
shall be worth its subscription prCc-one that
the people OF the county will be willing to sup
port. Our exp ricucc the past year leads us to
believe that our efforts are appreciated; and we
hope To- improve upon what has been done. But,
in order to better the paper, we must have mon
ey; hence the above requests. 1t has been the
custom to allow subscriptions To run for u term
of years. This we believe to he bad policy for
all concerned. The subscriber must some time
or other meet large bill, while til publisher Is
put to great tr uhe to pay the expenses of FUR
nishitg the paper. The amount in each case Is
small, but the aggregate is large. Now, we wish,
if possible to avoid these evils of the credit
system. 1t would be still better, perhaps, ii we
adopted the plan OF stopping papers at the end
of the time paid for This, however, might cause
lucon vcniencc to some; but 1t seems to us that
all who wish the paper Will agree with us that
their subscriptions should he paid before the

Those who are contemplating engaging in
agriculture in the extreme West should bear
in mind that the cost of transporting any

The License Fee fop Selling FertIIiS-
ers.
So much Of the law Of 1882, in relation to
the manufacture and sale Of fertilizers, as re-
quires a license fee to be paid by the manu-
facturer should DO repealed. The law enacts
that manufacturers Of commercial fertilizers
sold or offered for sale within the state shall,
before such fertilizer is sold or offered for
sale, obtain a license from the state treasurer
for each brand of fertilizer sold or offered for
sale, authorizing the sale of the same in the
state, and shall securely affix to each package
of such fertilizer the word licensed" with
the number and date of the license. The
person obtaining such license for brand Of
fertilizer shall pay to the state $50 for each
brand licensed, and the license shall be valid
for one year.
Manufacturers and importers of CONNER
cial fertilizers are also required, before such
fertilizers are sold or offered for sale within
the state, to file with the state treasurer q
bond, with sureties residing in the state for
the sum of $4,000, payable to the state, con-
ditioned for the payment of forfeitures and
costs imposed on such manufacturers or i'm
porters for violations of the law. This bond
offers all the security there is in the law against
fraudulent manufacturers not otherwise re-
sponsble. The license fee is an obstacle to
free competition. Its tendency is to keep up
the price of fertilizers. As a general rule
whatever diminshes competition in the man
ufacture and sale of any product tends to in
crease the price of that product, and what
ever increases competition tends to lower the
price of the competing product. The license
fee is, of course added to the price of the
fertilizer, and in the end comes out Of the
farmer though this is a small matter COM
pared with its tendency to diminish competi-
ton. The fee may be nothing to the Bradley
fertilizer company, the Pacific guano comps-
ny, the Quinnipisc company, and few 9TH
ers having well-established business in the
state. Any OF these would doubtless willing
ly pay a license fee four times as large for its
effect in limiting the number of competing
companies but many Others like the Mapes
formula company of New York city-a firm
that sells certain grades of fertilizers, perhaps,
lower than the dealers in this state have been
paying-have hesitated to take out license,
their sales in this state not being large. Dur
ing the first year in which the law was in
force about ten companies, selling Is brands
of fertilizers were licensed in this state The
number has since been slightly increased, but
it comprises now, probably, not more than
one in 25 of the whole number of manufac.
turers of fertilizers. The whole number OF
establishments manufacturing fertilizers now
in the United States may be estimated at 500.
The census of 1880 gives 3G4 establishments,
employing about 5000 hands, using $15, OOO,.
600 worth of raw material and producing 1928,
OOO,O in value of products Within the
last four years the business has increased &C
that the estimate of 500 establishments il
probably below rather than above the true
lumber.
