The Dairyn.a,.'s Standpoint!

In an address to Congress the dairymen
make the following statement:
lhe dairy industry of this country has been
brought to the verge of ruin by the intro due
ton and sale of counterfeit butter
The business of manufacturing and selling
sucn butter was lnaugurated and has been car
fled on under and by virtue of chartered
rights, which wereDblained from the Govern
| ment through the Patent Office
From sixty to 100 patents have been is sued,
giving the patentees the right to manufacture
bogus butter, and the Government has been
placed Ill the anomalous position of appear ne
10 Dc an ac,lvo party to stupendous fraud
| which has been pcrpetrated on one of our i'm
portant agricultural Industries.
The large demand for bogus butter is the
result i'll measure of the practice of bogus
butter manufacturers selling 1t as genuine but
ter. Against this practice the dairymen have
right to demand protection. The Govern
ment has no right to legalizs q counterfeit
| is issued permitting the manufacture of an ar
| tlcle to take the place of another article in
common use, the pateatee should be required
| to SO designate his product as to distinguish it
clearly from the product he proposes to super
sede Genuine butter and bogus butter have
| The one was butter, the other was counterfeit
| The fact that the counterfeit looks so much
like the genuine that the ordinary observer
cannot tell the one from the other docs not i'm
ply a like resemblance in quality. The dairy
| men complain, not that the bogus butter is
made, but that it is allowed to be sold for gen
ulne butter. They do not greatly fear coun-
| terfeit that is marked on its face counterfeit
| Bogus butter would BE- sold to an extent it it
were properly labeled, just as grease is now
| sometimes used in place of butter But it
would not prove formidable competitor of
the dairy ii it We're sold on its merits. The
protection the dairymen ask for is not only
reasonable in itself, but it is in the interest Of
common honesty.-.Sa1s Francisco Call
