Farmers VIII Test tn. Ordinance.

An ordinance of the city of Philadelphia
compels Jersey farmers to pay license
fee of SIS so for the privilege of selling pro-
duce in that city. but gives Pennsylvania
farmers the privilege for the asking.
Last Spring number of Jersey farmers
met in Philadelphia and formed Protec-
tive Association, one of the objects of
which was to resist in an organized way
this discriminating license ordinance of
Philadelphia Councils. Judge Robt. s..
Clvmer was chosen counsel
Geo. G. Simon, farmer OF Hurffville,
was arrested two weeks ago for non-com-
pliaace with the license law Of the city,
and on the Sth instant, was given hear
ing before Magistrate Kane. He was
represented by Judge Robert S. Clymer,
who is a member of the Philadelphia Bar.
The Magistrate imposed fine of $40 and
costs, from which an appeal was at once
taken, and the case will be carried to the
higher courts, where it will be argued this
Fall.
The contention Of the Jerseyman is that
the Philadelphia authorities cannot dis
criminate against them. This case will be
watched with interest, and the result is
confidently expected to yindicate the Jer-
sey belief that, Jerseyman has just as
much freedom to sell in Philadelphia as a
Necker.
