IIhis has been II day of anxious
wttln@ for Spain's reply to the

wS' universally believed, the issue

The White House continued to

Congress will wait until Monday
before any action is taken. The
President has asked delay until
that time, and assurances have
been given by those in charge of
affairs that there will he nothing

The most important action Ia

day was the determination to have
the naval militia of the several
States prepared for immediate

outcome of n conference Of the
members of the naval strategic

HOsTETTER CO. WINS A CASE.
heterogeneous on Their Bitters Not Tolcr-
ated by United States Court.

The United States circuit court for
the southern district Of New York,
Judge Townsend presiding, handed
down an opinion December %. 1897,
granting injunction and accounting, in
the suit of The Hostetter Company
against Isaac Sommers and Louis Jo-
seph, for infringement of its trade
mark. The jurist states, in bold and
clear language, the rights accruing to
the Hostetter Company, and the liabil-
ity incurred by all who would rob
them, by fraud or Misrepresentation
of the well-earned reputation and
profits of a business built up by the
efforts of half a century. The JUICE
says, in part:
THE complainant is entitled to pro-
lection against the appropriation OF its
trade mark, by any and all unfair and
dishonorable means, and a court of
equity has power to grant such protec-
ton whenever it is satisfied that an
attempt has been made by ingenious
subterfuges, to invade the rights of an
owner or a trade mark. IN
the sharp contest between the indiyid-
ual manufacturer, who strives to &C
quire and retain the fruits OF indus
try and honesty, and the field of keen
rivals, seeking to wrest from him the
prize OF the public goodwill the in
ventive ingenuity of the infringer has
conceived a great variety of devices
for cvading the established rules of
fair dealing. Courts of equity
finding that their ultimate object and
effect were to enable and induce the
retail seller Of a fraudulent imitation
to palm it off on an unsuspecting pub
lie for the genuine article, and thus
to contribute to the infringement upon
the rights of the original owner, have
not hesitated to apply the remedy"

The above are few of the numer-
Gus announcements of increased wages
under the provisions of the Dingley
law, which are presented as occurring
simultaneously with the single reduc-
ton in cotton mill wages about which
the free traders are making so much
noise. In contrast with this gencr
ally improved condition, both in
wages and number of people employed,
the following statement is quoted as
representing the condition in the au-
tumn of 1898, the corresponding period
Of the Cleveland administration, being
taken from the American Economist,
which bases its statement upon the
reports presented by Bradstreet's and
Dun's commercial publications. 1t is
as follows:
I'm a carefully prepared synopsis
of existing conditions, based on the
reports of 500 correspondents, living in
Al states, and representing all divi-
api h eli of trada man
ufacturing and agriculture, we have
arrived at the following: Out of 49,
40l hands employed in mills and fac
tories of various kinds in the week
ending Nov. 5, 1892. but 56,364 were
employed Sept. 2, 1898. At this rate
81 per cent of all the manufacturing
wage earners of the United States
have been thrown out of employment
in the period covered by these reports.
Considering that they cover 600 points
in Al states, il would seem as If they
furnished a fair basis for estimate.
The same authority reports that a
number of employees whose weekly
wage list averaged $1,509,S91 for sew
eral months preceding Nov. 5, 1892,
were disbursing no more than $459,089
during the week ending Sept, 2, 1898.
This indicates a shrinkage of 691a per
cent in the wage fund of the country.
From a basis of 65,000,000 of people,
one in every five being a wage Garner,
it is estimated that this would show
a weekly shrinkage of wages to the
extent of S30,000OOO for the week
ending Sept. 2, 1893, as compared to
the week ending Nov. 5, 1892"
