But this revelation tho publication
Of the foreign advertisement-of the fact
that the : Planet. jr.," supplements were
sold much cheaper to the foreigner than
any American could buy them. naturally
raised a small storm about the ears OF the
Philadelphia: and ~ they could not deny
this long standing foreign advertisement,
nor these equally long standing discounts
to the foreign retail buyer, they conc0cted
the following series of deliberate mis-
statements concerning the matter. and
sent them TO The WORLD for publicA-
ton:

DENYING THEIR OWN ADyERTISEMENT.
As every issue Of fact in this letter wal
on its face an absolute and unqualified
fals6hOOd. and would be known to be
| such by every reader of The WORLD. itl
publication was decllned-entirely in the
interests of s. L. Allen q Co. It was
pointed out to that foolish firm that Tn
WORLD had made no statement Or siHe-
i
or implements; that TIE WORLDS only
statement with which they were con-
cerned was that this was photograph Of
| q foreign advertisement of their goods,
and that what s. L. Allen 4 Co. contaa.
dicted in their letter were the statements
not Of The WORLD but Of themselves in
their own advertisement, or Of some one
authorized by them to advertise their
goods for sale abroad ct these prices.
TIE WORLD added that it would publish
denying that the advertisement was au-
thorized by them. or that they filled
orders in accordance with il, or that il
represented the prices paid for their i'm
| plements by foreign buyers.
s. L. Allen 4 Co. refused to write such
letter or make such q denial. They
DARED NOT. They knew, or had reason
to know. that THE WORLD held their re-
ceipted bills. signed by the firm. in
which they had sold. AT RETAIL, to for
eign subscribers, at the exact net figures
named in their foreign advertisement.
Not one word of this would have sp.
peared In The WORLD but for the fact
that S. i. Allen & Co. have printed their
Misrepresentation concerning The
WORLD in trade papers. and Republican
editors have given them wide circulation
III party newspapers whose readers dc
not know that all The Womb has done il
to photograph and reprint from the pho.
| tograph plate. without charge, the foreign
advertisements of s. L. Aliens goods,
and 1t 10 proper that the readers 81 THE
WORLD should know exactly what man.
ner OF men these protected mnnufac-
turers OF agricultural implements are.
