Do You Sell to a Cannery2

The Courier last week talked about tin
cans and, as usual when talking about
something it knows nothing about, the
Courier made some foolish statements.
For instance, it told about 80 Of" cans.
No such can is known TO the canning
trade. The Courier doubtless meant
"3-lb." cans, the usual tomato size.
The Courier was far from the truth in
its statement of prices for cans. 1t stated
that in January, 1899, such cans cost
Sll.50 per thousand. They did, and a
great deal more. They have not sold
regularly at any such price for the past
four seasons at least, to the certain
knowledge of the writer-and his knowl-
edge of the can market goes back no
farther.
Can prices were demoralized it is true,
in the early part of 1899, and it is difficult
to say what the market price was; in
fact, there was no fixed market. None
of the manufacturers of standard cans,
however, sold the BIB. size lower than
Sl5, and from that up to S25. Early in
February of that year, the Paw Paw
Canning Co. bought largely of cans of
this size at $40 per thousand.
In September of the present year, the
price was S2S.25- not 500 as the Courier
stated-and October the price was re-
duced, on account of the lower price of
metals, to $3.50, at which price such
cans are now quoted.
Don't believe everything the Courier
says about trusts.
1t doesn't really expect to be taken
seriously, anyway.
AS to the talk about what the Law
renee cannery has contributed" to the
tin trust, we know nothing about it, and
know of no basis for estimation even if
we knew how many cans it has used.
One thing is certain, however, that Law
renee had no cannery until the prosper
Gus times of McKinley's administration;
the Paw Paw and Gobleville canneries
have both been established since his in
auguration, and the South Haven factory
has more than doubled its capacity with
in the same time.
Farmers, how do you like it?
If the canneries are a benefit to you,
don't you think you ought to vote for
the republican policies that made their
establishment possible?

Electric Btters are the best selling

know why? Most diseases begin in dis
orders of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels,
blood and nerves. Electric Bitters tones
up the stomach, regulates liver, kidneys

About Trusts.

The democratic party is arrogatlng to
itself great deal of credit for its oppo-
sition TO trusts, and is conducting the
campaign on the theory that all other
parties are in league with the trusts.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
There is no issue between the two great
parties on the trust question. Both have
declared in plain language in favor of
legislation for their control. The trusts
are bound to be the subject of salutary
legislation in the near future, whichever
party may be in power. The republican
platform is peculiarly plain and to the
point in its treatment of the question.
Following is the position of the republi-
can party on the trust question, as set
forth in its national platform:
ave recognize the necessity and pro-
priety Of the honest cooperation Of CAPT
tai 10 meet neU business conditions, and
especially TO ertend Our rapidly increaS-
ing foreign trade, Bat zoe condemn all
conSptracies and combinations intended
TO restrict business, TO create monopotieS,
TO limit production or TO control prices,
and faUor such legislation as sOiL effect
iUely restrain and preUent all such abuses,
protect and promote competition and Sc
cure the rights of producer, laborerS and
all eOho are engaged in industry and
commerce..

Mr.. Bryan is very fond of quoting the
wise sayings of Abraham Lincoln. This
is an excellent trait in Mr.. Bryan. We
wish he and his party would emphasize
one saying of Mr.. Lincoln's little more.
After his denomination for the presi-
dency, he was called upon by commit
tee from the Union league, who inform
ed him that his candidacy was endorsed
by that organization. In his reply, Mr..
Lincoln said he did not "allow himself to
suppose that either the convention or
the league had concluded he was the
greatest or the best man in America, but
rather that they had decided it was not
best to swap horses while crossing the
stream" No saying of Mr.. Lincoln is
more applicable to the present campaign.
We are crossing the stream" and its no
time to "swap horses"
