Among the campaign lies that are made
to do service in every presidential election
Is the statement that the ''Studebaker"
as it can be at South Bend, Ind, where it
Is manufactured. This old lie has been
made to do service so often that GENTLE
man of this city recently wrote to Stude-
baker Bros, and asked them for an ex-
PLANTATION of this preposterous story. Here
is their reply, which ought to lay "the
ghost" of the Studebaker wagon lie for the
season.
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Saturday, July 90, 1892
Dear S{r-We are in receipt of yours of the
oath, aud note Its contents. The assertion al
luded TO Is one that n quite often made, al
though without the least foundation for II in
fact The ostensible foundation for 1t Is duo to
this: Most manufacturers, n you are aware,
publish catalogues In which what are known As
'9ist prices are given. These prices, as pub
lished, commonly have no real Significance
either wholesale or retail prices, serving, I'm.
stead. merely as a basis for real prices. You
Will understand what we mean-the
list price, for instance, will be
500. From this the manufacturer quotes
discount OF 10 per cent, or IS or 30 per
cent, as the case may be. Now suppose that
the manufacturer, whose discount 10 80 per
cent, seeks a market for the sale of his goods In
South America. This 10 commonly done, not
direct, but through commission agents In New
York or San Francisco. These commission
agents. many OF them. publish q periodical
pamphlet entitled price Current" This they
send to dealers in foreign towns where they
look Tor orders. This price current gives the
net rriees OF the goods, boxed and (. O. b. IN
New York, or whatever the shipping
port may be-prices at which plus
the commission which they receive
from the purchaser. they win fill orders for
these goods. You will observe that now the list
price Will not avail The commission man
wants net prices at the port of shipment This
Is the discrepancy which some political wise
acres have seized upon to pretend that American
manufacturers sell goods in foreign countries
Tor less money than at home They will take
the manufacturers price list, giving list prices
as exhibiting home prices; they will take the
price current Of the commission man, in which
TIE same goods are listed at lower figures, and
pretend to fnd In this comparison grounds for
asserting that the goods are sold for less abroad
than they are at home.
Az stated. 50 far as we are concerned, the as.
sertion that we sell abroad for less than we sell
at home, Is not merely untrue, 1t is prcposter-
Gus. Goods that we send TO Australia, or other
foreign countries, because OF the long distance
from home, must To constructed with unusual
care. aud our prices for these goods on the basis

Surely with no snow in winter or cold

We can congratulate ourselves upon having

known in this latitude. Eastern tourists
who curse our rainy weather in the winter
and spring months always forget that our
light warm rains are less destructive of
comfort than the intense cold and snow
storms Of the East; they forget that their
autumn and spring rains begin as early
and are far more severe than our own; and
they forget that from the 10th of June to
the Goth of September on the Atlantic sea-
board there are good many days and
nights when it is so hot that life seems
hardly worth living.

Coos Bay and Lake Washington.
Fairplay in spokane Revue


1t Is asserted that although more than hall
the population of Washington is on Puget
sound, Senator Allen has no right to ask for any
pubic Improvements away from the river IL
this were true, the same argument against side
appropriations should obtain in Oregon, as only
a small portion OF the population in that state is
away from the Columbia and its tributaries.
For instance, in summing up the commercial
statistics OF Coos bsy, set forth in the engin.
GERS report from 1879 to 1891, IL will be found
that they do not equal those SIX months for the
port of Seattle. A glance at the last census re-
port Will show also that the entire population OF
the country in which Coos bay is situated falls
far short OF the total OF registered voters in Seat
tie. The estimated cost OF the Coos bay work is
$2.ii6,4l2, practically as large an amount as the
estimated cost of the Lake Washington canal.
The appropriation heretofore made was SSsS, 10,
while in the present bill there was asked $2lo,-
00o. and that much was allowed. New, these
being the facts. perhaps it would be fair to pro.
claim the Coos bay Improvements local job.
