MANUFACTURERS CONVENTION.

The second annual convention of the
American Association of Manufacturers,
which met at Philadelphia yesterday, will
be one of more than ordinary interest. 1t
assemblies at time when Congress is pre-
pairing tariff which will seriously affect
the interest of all manufacturers in the
country, and therefore its proceedings
will be naturally directed to politics as
we'll as to business.
While the open hearings before the
Committee of Ways and Means in Con-
gress, which is preparing the new tariff
bill. have been closed, there can be no
question tnat the members of that COM
mittee will gladly receive and carefully
consider any recommendations which
may be made by body of such import
ance as this convention. In a certain
sense therefore the delegates at Philadel-
phia will have something of practical
legislation on their hands. 1t will be an
opportunity for them to make clear to the
Ways and Means Committee what degree
of protective duties is necessary to the
welfare of American manufacturers, and
to protect it not only from Europe, but
from the growing competition OF China
1t is more than probable the convention
will recommend the creation of Secretary
OF Commerce, to have a seat in the Cabinet
and to share in directing the affairs of the
Nation. Such an Official has been called
for for some time and the creation of the
office has long been a subject of Congress
sional consideration. The advocates OF
the measure have good reasons to support
it, and it is certain that sooner or later il
will have to be adopted
As the United States increases in wealth
and population and grows both in the
extent and variety of its industries there
is necessarily a demand for new depart
ments of Government supervision. We
recognize in the West the urgent need oi
Secretary of Mines and Mining and can
well appreciate the desire in the great
manufacturing States for Secretary ot
Commerce. The United States can well
afford both these officials. There would
be more economy in paying the officers
required to perform the duties of the new
departments than in leaving these vast
industries without the supervision neoes-
sary for their best development.

sale OF dozens OF packages Of the estab.

sale OF dozens of packages of the estab-
lished article.
The affairs of this world are so closely
associated that the interest of one legiti-
mate industry is inseparably associated
with the interests of all other legitimate
industries. When a wrong is done to ons
all allied enterprises suffer. In the sale OF
patented articles the producer OF the
article the newspaper in which it is adj
vertised, the dealer and the customer for
it have clearly one and the same interest.
If the producer finds that by advertising G
he does not gain customers in certain
community he sooD ceases to advertise in
the papers of that community. The pub
lie is thus deprived of the knowledge of an
important article of beneficial use. and
the dealer loses the opportunity to sell
not only that article but even the inferior
thing which he has been substituting for
it.
1t ought not to be necessary to point out
to intelligent dealers the wrong they are
doing to their own trade by the practice
of substitution. They reap the benefit of
all the advertising which is given to the
genuine article, and it is to their ad-
vantage to have that advertising con-
tinued. The dealer who Intentionally
lessons the sale of an advertised article re-
stricts his own business and Injuries his
own purse. There ought to be enough
business sense among retail dealers to
understand this and sufficient apprecia-
ton of the importance of the subject to
impel them to act together to put an end
to O practice so hurtful to all concerned.
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-27
THE EASTERN BLIZzARDs.

The severe cold which prevails in the
East at this time seems to be in many re-
snects almost unprecedented. The extent
of territory covered by it reaches from st.
Paul Mimi, to Galveston, Texas. 1t has
involved in an equal suffering the great
cities of Chicago and New York and the
sparsely settled prairies OF Western Ne
braska and Kansas. In some places there
has been snow sufficient to destroy tocks
of sheep and in other places where snow
was needed TO protect the winter wheat
there has not been enough to save those
crops from destruction.
Even the most casual reading OF reports
from the various sections of the East shows
how great is the economic value OF the
euuable climate of California. Even II
the element of human comfort is lett out
side of consideration there is still enough
in the contrast between our conditions on
this side the mountains and that which
prevails eastward to demonstrate that our
climate in the winter is worth to US many
millions of dollars annually.
With the coming of the bllzzards there
has been an appeal throughout the East for
charity. This appeal seems to be IN every
way urgent and pressing. 1t is not merely
the thriftless and idle vagrants OF human
ity who are suffering now In the great
cities, but industrious workingmen and
their families. The Mayor of Chicago es-
Inmates that it will require not less than
500, to meet the temporary demand for
supplies TO prevent the starvation and
freezing of thousands of people in that
CITY. Pititul stories of destitution are re-
ported from the prairie States and we'll
to-do farmers find it as necessary to be
prompt IN their charity to their poorer
neighbors as do the wealthy residents OF
great cities.
Fortunately these appeals for charity
will not be made in vain. Everywhere,
from Minnesota to Texas and from Ne
braska to Massachusetts,, there will be not
only hearts prompt to sympathize with
the poor, but hands ready to help them.
The telegraph, by making known the
wide extent OF the suffering, serves to i'm
press the public mind with its greatness,
and thereby impels them to be active in
their efforts to save. The extreme suffer
ing as a consequence will not be great nor
very much prolonged. American charity
disaster that has befallen its people, and
in that well-esta blished truth people OF
the East may find some consolation amid
the storms that surround them.
In the meantime as matter of human
charity as well as of business, it would be
we'll for boards of trade. cham bers of COM
merce and the press of California to call
the attention of the Eastern people to the
fact that they can gain immunity from
storms by making their homes in this
State. There is no reason why any man
of moderate means or of comp parative
wealth should remain in land where he
is exposed to blizzards and storms when
he can make his home in a land of winter
sunshine without forfeiting his allegiance
to his country and his flag. Eastern
charity can save many people from the
worst effects Of the storm at present, but
the only way for them to find permanent
relief is to come West.
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-27
SUBSTITUTION.

The practice of inconsiderate retailers
in attempting to substitute untried patent
articles for those of established reputation
is not only an evil of long standing, but is
one of growing injury to all parties con-
cerned. The producers of such articles,
the newspapers which advertise them and
the public which buys them are all af-
fected to their loss by the practice of SUBJ
stitution, and it is also easy of demonstra-
ton that the retailers themselves who
engage in such practice are injuring their
business.
To bring new remedy or a new food
into general use there are necessary three
things. First, that the new article shall
be extensively advertised; second, that it
shall be OF sufficient merit to win popular
favor after having been tested, and third,
that the retail dealer shall supply it to
his customers when called for. If the re-
taller takes advantage of the presence of
his customer, who has come to purchase
a specific article, to coax him into buying
something else, he TO that extent injuries
the advertiser and tends to diminish the
cause which brought the customer to his
store.
Buyers can easily see how great is the
harm done to them by this practice oi
substituting inferior articles for those oi
established repute. Men and women who
have been made the victims of this prac-
tice will not care to return to stores and
shops where it has been imposed on them.
Thus the dealer who has been successful
in one sale loses the chance of making
many others He has hoar tspeupv wioo
and pound foolish, " as the old provert
has it He has made one sale of the SUBJ
