THE VAR Against BOGUS BUTTEP

THE VAR AGAINST BOGUS BUTTER.
The dairymen of the country find themselves
forced into desperate contest at Washington
with the agents and lobbyists of bogus butter
manufacturers. Despite State laws the produc-
ton of the vile imp0sture referred to has at
tanned such dimensions as seriously to injure
the dairy interest, and Congress has been sOlic-
tied to legisate for the protection of the farm
ers and dairymen, and for the suppression of
the fraud called butterine and oleomargarine.
The dairymen represent that while the bogus
butter makers pretend to sell the stuff only for
what it is, 1t is notorious that the dealers who
supply the public do nothing of the kind that
they sell it for genuine butter, and that they
could not sell it in any other way save oc-
casionally to the dishonest people who, whether
as restaurant or boarding house keepers, palm
it off on their customers for what it is not. The
dairymen further claim that in showing samples
the bogus butter agents are guilty of another
imposition, since the stuff of the samples is not
the stuff made for the market. That the coun-
terfeit butter is often made of inferior and
unwhOlesome fat and compounds of Other ingre-
dents, known and unknown, which are neither
cleanly nor conducive to health u may readily
be believed, since the possibility of EMPLOYING
such materials must always be strong tempta-
ton to use them, and since the engagement in
such Il manufacture pTesupposes a lack of
scrupulOusness.
IL is an undoubted fact that the public will
not knowingly buy or use imitation butter, and
that three f0urths of all the stuff sold is sold
under false pretences, or openly to people who
intend to deceive others with it. The whole
business, in plain English,is tainted with fraud
The manufacture of bogus butter is manufact-
ure of a counterfeit and that involves impost-
ure, which is indeed the essence of the scheme.
1t is not true that imitation butter can be made
as good as real butter. 1t is another fraud to
pretend that there is or ever has been any
purpose to produce real substitute for genuine
butter. The fact is that imposition and false
pretence are inseparable from the business, and
the dairy interest has full right to demand
from Congress the same protection against this
impudent counterfeit that is afforded against
others not more dangerous and Injurious
But it is after all the public interest that ia
most concerned. The whole bogus butter busi-
ness is an attempt to deceive the American
people to their harm by leading them to buy "a
counterfeit butter for the real article. This
counterfeit can be produced cheaply and nastly.
All kinds Of filthy fats can be used in it, and
generally without fear OF detection. AS to the
assertion of the bogus butter makers that they
only employ the best and cleanest material, it
ia not worth rap. All men know how much
reliance to put in such statements, when oppor-
tunity invites to the use of the cheapest pro-
cesses and matters, and greed urges the manu-
facturer on. Such production as that of bogus
butter can have no legitimate standing place in

TUE WDDI UU TIEC


The National Association of WOolien Manu-
facturers has formally declared its unqualified
hostility to the pending tariff bill. Ye: this bill
is advocated on the prctence that it will help
the woollen manufacture especially, by giving
it cheap raw material. Certainly the manu-
facturers themselves are interested TO secure
this so-called help, if anybody. But the at
tendance at the meeting was unusually large,
and the resolution was adopted unanimously.
1t is worth while to notice that the manu-
facturers not only resolved against tho pending
measure, which proposes to abolish all duties
on raw wool, but went still further, and de-
nounced the act of 1888 by which the duties
on wool were reduced. The resolution points
to the fact that the change of tariff has caused
a great Increase in the importation of certain
classes of goods, and thus has prevented the
use of many million pounds of domestic WOOL
The manufacturers are plainly Of opinion that
it is necessary to their own welfare to uphold
the system by which the production of wool in
this country is stimulated. With both the wool
growers and the wool manufacturers unani-
mousy opposing the threatened removal of
duties, on what ground can Congress believe
that it will help either the manufacturer or the
wool grower?

the field of American industry. 1t has no moro
right to recognition by Congress than the saw
dust game or the policy business. Its place ls
in the catalogue of "crookcd" occupations,
and nowhere else is it entitled TO representa-
tion. To allow the dairy interest to be injured
by this imposturc would be grave dereiction
of duty on the part of Congress, which ought
to pass the measure demanded not only by the
farmers aud darymcn but by the people gen.
orally. The bogus butter is so profitable, how
ever, that many men have already enriched
themselves by making and selling it, and these
are prepared to spend good deal in the lobby
rather than surrender their opportunities. The
House Committee on Agriculture, which has ii
in consideration, has just introduced bill
which will give the threatened interest the pro-
lection it is equitably entitled to.

| THE RIGHT TO Run CANS ~ BROADUAT
| The men who secured the Broadway fran
chisc by buying up a Board OF Aldermen VIII
not let the prize slip out of their hands without
making use of every resource that the courts
afford. Undoubtedly the acton taken at
Albany will be followed by great deal OF llti-
CATION. Every obstruction which fhe sharpest
LAWYERS stimulated by the heaviest fees can put
in the way of executing the will of the people,
as repre- sented by public opinion and the votes
of the Senate and Assembly, is certain to be
encountered But it is not likely that any de-
vices of legal ingenuity will succeed in defeating
the intent of the work at Albany. There may
be much delay and there may be a great tangle
of proceedings in the courts, but the conspira
tors who defrauded and dsgraced the city will
not be allowed to retain the plunder which
they secured by bribery.
In another column the Corporation Counsel
gives ONE information to the difficulties to be
overcome before the right TO run cars in Broad
way below Union Square will pass from its
present posscssors into other hands But these
difficulties are not insurmOurtable. Nor is 1t
improbable that the city will derive hand
some recompense for the privilege. Many
people hastily assume that this privilege must
inevitably go to the men who control the Broad
way and Seventh Avenue line and at their own
price. They argue that the Broadway line
would be almost worthless without connec-
ton in Union Square. But they overlook the
fact that the tracks below Fourteenth st. are
Just as important to the Seventh Avenue people
as connection with the Broadway tracks
above Fourteenth st. can Be TO the holders of
the right which Jacob Sharp and his associates
obtained. The Philadelphia syndicate will
undoubtedly try to get that right. They are
welcome to it if they will treat the city fairly
and pay what the privilege is really worth.
But there is another line beside the Broadway
and Seventh Avenue to which the right to
run cars in Broadway below Union Square
would be of enormous value. That Is the
Fourth Avenue and the Wander bits could well
afford to bid as high as the Philadelphia syndi-
cate for the privilege. 1t is true that the terms
of the consent given to a Broadway line by the
General Term of the Supreme Court provided
for transportation TO Central Park The
Fourth Avenue line does not run directly to
Central Park but it runs within one block of it
and goes much further uptown than the Sew
enth Avenue road. 1t would not take long for
the Fourth Avenue Company 10 overcome that
objection AMI get its cars to the Park gates.
The Legislature and the property owners could
be trusted to treat the company fairly. con-
nectiOn at Union Sqrare would be a matter of
few feet only. On the whole, we think that
any one Who secures the right to run cars down
Broadway after Jacob Sharp and his friends
are ousted will pay the city fair price for it.

TIE PRESIDENT AND ARBITRATION

TIE PRESIDENT AND ARBITRATION
The President is not satisfied with the way in
which the House dealt with the question of ar
to cope with it, so he has himself kindly come
to the rescue.
He thinks that if he is allowed to appoint the
arbitratOrs the difficulty will be solved. This
may be true though many persons will be
inclined to doubt it, in view of the evtraordi-
nary appointments he has already made. As
a rule contcnding parties are more willing to
submit to arbitration when they have voice in
constituting the tribunal than if it is iaade up
without regard to their wishes. Still, there is
merit in the suggestion first made by Mr..
Chauncey NJ. Depew for permanent board OF
arbitration and now repeated by the President
in his message.
The Senators can safely be trusted, however,
to deal with the question, irrespective of the
Presidents singular attempt to influence their
decision. The House bill has been favOrably
reported, and there are other bills on the sub
ject before the Senate. If the message means
anything more than an effort to gain favor with
n certain class of voters, it means that the
President does not approve Of these bills.
veto message would have been the proper way
in which to state his objections. Certainly some
of the statements made in this peculiar message
lay it open to the criticism of a Democratic
Senator that it contains cap-trap"; while its
very existence is a curious commentary on the
great discovery of 1884 that the Presi1entS
Office is essentially executive.
