GIVES HIS REASONS.
continuing his paper Mr.. Saurwine said:

struggling with fate. iutermingled with a
remnant or humanity whose estimation
OF citizenship occupies the same altitude
as the price or their worthless goods. 1
believe that the day has already dawned
when the honest tradesrnan should assert
ms rights by rearranglng the battlements
IN defence Of his own position.
:, me plan or method which have out
nned places the whole matter under ma
tlohal mead, and yet can be adopted with
the same effective results by a single
h1m. so far as his products are concern
cd. But the prime object to be attained is
that IT places the transgressor or would
be cutter in the category of either. as
perJurer or counterfeiter. and In either
case there is sufficient punishment in any
State TO fit the crime.
HAVE NO MIND TO EVOLVE.
There is also an excrement of INDECENT
humanity, whose present and prehistoric
instincts preclude the possibility Of their
ever evolving anything through manual
labor TO enrich the worlds commerce, but
whose dormant forces seem destined 10
suck the lifeblood from inventive genius
and pauperize the active brain. and. as
a result, many OF the victims of this des-
picable condition, who hold certificates
Of long study and learning, are forced TO
accept positions from their destroyers
and under whose registered ability the
vampires Of the age continue their work
Of destruction.
Under the method which I have sug-
gested neither perjury nor subtle theft
could give them a license TO traffic on the
spoils of a ruined enterprise. / believe
therefore. that commercial piracy should
be classified a csminal offence, and
that their opportunities be restricted by
conditions susceptible to the laws of our
country.
81 am also convinced that If the manu-
facturers will adopt this method, giving
the same publicly to the national guaranty
label that they do to the merits of their
goods, and cautionng the public against
purchasing from a druggist who cannot
furnish It, i'm less than one year cutting
in the drug line will have ceased. Then
multiplied thousands will rechristen into
national anthem that old camp-meeting
song. Amt / Glad I'm out Of the VIII
