state that il has been the custom 81
guano manufacturers to ship goods
and then send tags. II is done by
parties outside Of the State. Can the
Agricultural Department deny this y
Now, Mr.. Robinson, why did you
not answer this inquiry in yourcard
Did it escape your observation Were
you in such a hurry to get your re.
| ply to the Sun questions published in
the Raleigh papers before reaching
us that in your haste you overlooked
it, Try IL again. We beg of you to
stand up like man now and answer
this inquiry. We repeat the question
and answer it without lodging or
evasion. Can your Department de-
ny tit other manufacturers than
ths Dr., ,ham Fertilizer Company have
skl, Il their goods and, after ship
ment, bought tags and had the goods
tagged after they left their factories'
Can you deny that with this informa-
tion before you, you have failed to
order detention or seizure of such
goods for that cause9 Can you deny
that in this very town of Oxford the
agents Of other fertilizer companies
have paid for tags after the goods
arrived in Oxford and even after some
of them were delivered TO farmers for
consumption We shall withhold
some comments we intended to make
until sou answer the above questions,
for reasons which must be manifest
to you.
You deny in your card that you
are connected with any fertilizer
company and we are truly glad to
get that information for our readers.
Many Of them had supposed, from
your conduct, that you were, and
some Of them even now are at loss
to understand why it Is that you, an
Alliance man ',in full and regular
standing, treat alliance goods diff
ferently and more harshly than you
do other goods-scize them for causes
that are no offense in others. No
intelligent reader can fail to observe
with what alacrity and earnestaess
you have undertaken to defend She
confessed failure OF Dcyis Fish Scrap
to come up to guaranteed analysis.
You say this fish scrap has a value OF
from TO per cent. In phosphoriC
acid for which no account in this
claim vast taken. Now Mr.. Robinson
was it Available" phospheric acid
Of 4 to s per cent or was it insoluble
phosphoric acidl No dodging please.
Why don't you stick TO the analysis
we referred TO, and took from the
Bulletin, in answering our questions
Was not the lot of goods referred TO
in your card sold upon guarantee
of AMMONIA and fell below the guar
antee! But why leave anything out
in the analysisl Was not the sole
object Of the analysis to ascertain the
VALUE per ton! Then why leave out
anything in the analysis going ito
make up value and report it below
value il il was really up to standard
guaranteed value! Is that fair to
the goods, TO discredit them by leav'
ing something Of value out in the
published analysis and then offer an
apology for so doing and now say t.
those who purchased them no pur
lchaser of this material has sustained
la lossi Is this the custom Of YOU
Department analysis! If it is, (ant
your card indicated it, then why no
feed the Durham Fertilizer AlIianc,
goods with the same spoon' DOM

Then why raise this great hue an,
